NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


1.	A. Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of (a) the consolidated results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, (b) the consolidated comprehensive income for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, (c) the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, (d) the consolidated changes in stockholders’ equity for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, and (e) the consolidated cash flow for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012. The financial statements have been prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain amounts for prior periods have been reclassified to conform to the current period financial statement presentation.

We have revised previously reported cash flows from operating and financing activities for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012 to correct for the impact of interest payments on certain Cat Financial bank borrowings. Cash provided by operating activities decreased from the amounts previously reported by $44 million for the nine month period ended September 30, 2012, and cash provided by financing activities increased by the same amount. Revisions will be made to previously reported amounts in future filings. Cash provided by operating activities will decrease by $57 million and $53 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities will increase by the same amounts for the respective periods. Management has concluded that the impact was not material to any quarterly or annual period.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (2012 Form 10-K).

The December 31, 2012 financial position data included herein is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2012 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP.

B. Nature of Operations

Information in our financial statements and related commentary are presented in the following categories:

Machinery and Power Systems – Represents the aggregate total of Construction Industries, Resource Industries, Power Systems, and All Other segments and related corporate items and eliminations.

Financial Products – Primarily includes the company’s Financial Products Segment. This category includes Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial), Caterpillar Insurance Holdings Inc. (Cat Insurance) and their respective subsidiaries.

2. New Accounting Guidance

Disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities – In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance on disclosures about offsetting assets and liabilities. The guidance requires entities to disclose both gross and net information about instruments and transactions that are offset in the statement of financial position, as well as instruments and transactions that are subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. In January 2013, the FASB issued guidance clarifying the scope of the disclosures to apply only to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending and securities borrowing transactions. This guidance was effective January 1, 2013, with retrospective application required. The guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements. See Note 4 for additional information.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment testing – In July 2012, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. The guidance allows entities to first perform a qualitative assessment to determine the likelihood of an impairment for an indefinite-lived intangible asset and whether it is necessary to perform the quantitative impairment assessment currently required. This guidance was effective January 1, 2013 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Table of Contents

Reporting of amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income – In February 2013, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income if the amount is reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income in the same reporting period, a cross reference to other disclosures that provide additional detail about the reclassification amounts is required. This guidance was effective January 1, 2013 and did not have a material impact on our financial statements. See Note 12 for additional information.

Joint and several liability arrangements – In February 2013, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements. The guidance requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. The entity is also required to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as any other information about those obligations. This guidance is effective January 1, 2014, with retrospective application required. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity – In March 2013, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the parent's accounting for the cumulative translation adjustment (CTA) upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. The new standard clarifies existing guidance regarding when the CTA should be released into earnings upon various deconsolidation and consolidation transactions. This guidance is effective January 1, 2014. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

Presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists – In July 2013, the FASB issued accounting guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. The guidance requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward in the financial statements if available under the applicable tax jurisdiction. The guidance is effective January 1, 2014. We do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial statements.

3. Stock-Based Compensation

Accounting for stock-based compensation requires that the cost resulting from all stock-based payments be recognized in the financial statements based on the grant date fair value of the award. Stock-based compensation primarily consists of stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs) and stock-settled stock appreciation rights (SARs). We recognized pretax stock-based compensation cost in the amount of $64 million and $196 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively; and $69 million and $204 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

The following table illustrates the type and fair value of the stock-based compensation awards granted during the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively:



	2013			2012
	Shares Granted	Fair Value Per Award		Shares Granted	Fair Value Per Award
Stock options	4,276,060	$	28.34	3,224,203	$	39.20
RSUs	1,614,870	$	84.05	1,429,939	$	104.61

The stock price on the date of grant was $89.75 and $110.09 for 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The following table provides the assumptions used in determining the fair value of the stock-based awards for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively:

Table of Contents



	Grant Year
	2013	2012
Weighted-average dividend yield	2.13%	2.16%
Weighted-average volatility	30.6%	35.0%
Range of volatilities	23.4-40.6%	33.3-40.4%
Range of risk-free interest rates	0.16-1.88%	0.17-2.00%
Weighted-average expected lives	8 years	7 years

As of September 30, 2013, the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock-based compensation awards was $232 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining requisite service periods of approximately 1.9 years.

4. Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Our earnings and cash flow are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. Our Risk Management Policy (policy) allows for the use of derivative financial instruments to prudently manage foreign currency exchange rate, interest rate and commodity price exposures. Our policy specifies that derivatives are not to be used for speculative purposes. Derivatives that we use are primarily foreign currency forward, option, and cross currency contracts, interest rate swaps, and commodity forward and option contracts. Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction and control of our senior financial officers. Risk management practices, including the use of financial derivative instruments, are presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors at least annually.

All derivatives are recognized on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at their fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, we designate the derivative as (1) a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), (2) a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flow to be paid (cash flow hedge), or (3) an undesignated instrument. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged recognized asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk, are recorded in current earnings. Changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI), to the extent effective, on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position until they are reclassified to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments and the ineffective portion of designated derivative instruments are reported in current earnings. Cash flow from designated derivative financial instruments are classified within the same category as the item being hedged on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow. Cash flow from undesignated derivative financial instruments are included in the investing category on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow.

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow.

We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the designated derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items. When a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, in accordance with the derecognition criteria for hedge accounting.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Foreign currency exchange rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the U.S. dollar value of sales made and costs incurred in foreign currencies. Movements in foreign currency rates also affect our competitive position as these changes may affect business practices and/or pricing strategies of non-U.S.-based competitors. Additionally, we have balance sheet positions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby creating exposure to movements in exchange rates.

Our Machinery and Power Systems operations purchase, manufacture and sell products in many locations around the world. As we have a diversified revenue and cost base, we manage our future foreign currency cash flow exposure on a

Table of Contents

net basis. We use foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage unmatched foreign currency cash inflow and outflow. Our objective is to minimize the risk of exchange rate movements that would reduce the U.S. dollar value of our foreign currency cash flow. Our policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flow for up to five years.

We generally designate as cash flow hedges at inception of the contract any Australian dollar, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar, Chinese yuan, euro, Indian rupee, Japanese yen, Mexican peso, Singapore dollar or Swiss franc forward or option contracts that meet the requirements for hedge accounting and the maturity extends beyond the current quarter-end. Designation is performed on a specific exposure basis to support hedge accounting. The remainder of Machinery and Power Systems foreign currency contracts are undesignated, including any hedges designed to protect our competitive exposure.

As of September 30, 2013, $15 million of deferred net gains, net of tax, included in equity (AOCI in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position), are expected to be reclassified to current earnings (Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations) over the next twelve months when earnings are affected by the hedged transactions. The actual amount recorded in Other income (expense) will vary based on exchange rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.

In managing foreign currency risk for our Financial Products operations, our objective is to minimize earnings volatility resulting from conversion and the remeasurement of net foreign currency balance sheet positions, and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our policy allows the use of foreign currency forward, option and cross currency contracts to offset the risk of currency mismatch between our receivables and debt, and exchange rate risk associated with future transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Substantially all such foreign currency forward, option and cross currency contracts are undesignated.

Interest Rate Risk

Interest rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of our interest payments and the value of our fixed-rate debt. Our practice is to use interest rate derivatives to manage our exposure to interest rate changes and, in some cases, lower the cost of borrowed funds.

Our Machinery and Power Systems operations generally use fixed-rate debt as a source of funding. Our objective is to minimize the cost of borrowed funds. Our policy allows us to enter into fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements to meet that objective with the intent to designate as fair value hedges at inception of the contract all fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps. Designation as a hedge of the fair value of our fixed-rate debt is performed to support hedge accounting.

Financial Products operations has a match-funding policy that addresses interest rate risk by aligning the interest rate profile (fixed or floating rate) of Cat Financial’s debt portfolio with the interest rate profile of their receivables portfolio within predetermined ranges on an ongoing basis. In connection with that policy, we use interest rate derivative instruments to modify the debt structure to match assets within the receivables portfolio. This matched funding reduces the volatility of margins between interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities, regardless of which direction interest rates move.

Our policy allows us to use fixed-to-floating, floating-to-fixed, and floating-to-floating interest rate swaps to meet the match-funding objective. We designate fixed-to-floating interest rate swaps as fair value hedges to protect debt against changes in fair value due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. We designate most floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps as cash flow hedges to protect against the variability of cash flows due to changes in the benchmark interest rate.

As of September 30, 2013, $3 million of deferred net losses, net of tax, included in equity (AOCI in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position), related to Financial Products floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps, are expected to be reclassified to current earnings (Interest expense of Financial Products in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations) over the next twelve months. The actual amount recorded in Interest expense of Financial Products will vary based on interest rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.

We have, at certain times, liquidated fixed-to-floating and floating-to-fixed interest rate swaps at both Machinery and Power Systems and Financial Products. The gains or losses associated with these swaps at the time of liquidation are amortized into earnings over the original term of the previously designated hedged item.

Table of Contents

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price movements create a degree of risk by affecting the price we must pay for certain raw material. Our policy is to use commodity forward and option contracts to manage the commodity risk and reduce the cost of purchased materials.

Our Machinery and Power Systems operations purchase base and precious metals embedded in the components we purchase from suppliers. Our suppliers pass on to us price changes in the commodity portion of the component cost. In addition, we are subject to price changes on energy products such as natural gas and diesel fuel purchased for operational use.

Our objective is to minimize volatility in the price of these commodities. Our policy allows us to enter into commodity forward and option contracts to lock in the purchase price of a portion of these commodities within a five-year horizon. All such commodity forward and option contracts are undesignated.

We enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) master netting agreements within Machinery & Power Systems and Financial Products that permit the net settlement of amounts owed under their respective derivative contracts. Under these master netting agreements, net settlement generally permits the company or the counterparty to determine the net amount payable for contracts due on the same date and in the same currency for similar types of derivative transactions. The master netting agreements generally also provide for net settlement of all outstanding contracts with a counterparty in the case of an event of default or a termination event.

Collateral is generally not required of the counterparties or of our company under the master netting agreements. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets - In-process research & development		18		—			18
Total intangible assets		$	4,840	$	(824	)	$	4,016

During the third quarter of 2013, we acquired finite-lived intangible assets of $66 million due to the purchase of Johan Walter Berg AB. See Note 19 for details on this business combination.

Gross customer relationship intangibles of $123 million and related accumulated amortization of $17 million were reclassified from Intangible assets to assets held for sale and/or divested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and are not included in the September 30, 2013 balances in the table above. These transactions were related to the divestiture of portions of the Bucyrus distribution business. See Note 20 for additional information on divestitures and assets held for sale.

Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $91 million and $276 million, respectively. Amortization expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 was $101 million and $294 million, respectively. Amortization expense related to intangible assets is expected to be:

$369	$374	$372	$360	$358	$2,161

B. Goodwill

During the third quarter of 2013, we recorded goodwill of $109 million related to the acquisition of Johan Walter Berg AB. See Note 19 for details on this business combination.

Goodwill of $47 million was reclassified to assets held for sale and/or divested during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, and is not included in the September 30, 2013 balance in the table below. These transactions were related to the divestiture of portions of the Bucyrus distribution business and the sale of certain Power Systems assets that were accounted for as a business. See Note 20 for additional information on divestitures and assets held for sale.

Table of Contents

We test goodwill for impairment annually and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitor for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis. Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a qualitative assessment or a two-step process. We have an option to make a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit's goodwill for impairment. If we choose to perform a qualitative assessment and determine the fair value more likely than not exceeds the carrying value, no further evaluation is necessary. For reporting units where we perform the two-step process, the first step requires us to compare the fair value of each reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, there is an indication that an impairment may exist and the second step is required. In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss. No goodwill for reporting units was impaired during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012.

The changes in the carrying amount of the goodwill by reportable segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were as follows:

8. Available-For-Sale Securities

We have investments in certain debt and equity securities, primarily at Cat Insurance, that have been classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices. These investments are primarily included in Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Unrealized gains and losses arising from the revaluation of available-for-sale securities are included, net of applicable deferred income taxes, in equity (Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position). Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are generally determined using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method for debt instruments and the specific identification method for equity securities. Realized gains and losses are included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.

During the three months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, there were no charges for other-than-temporary declines in the market values of securities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, charges for other-than-temporary declines in the market values of securities were $1 million. These charges were accounted for as realized losses and were included in Other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations. The cost basis for the impacted securities was adjusted to reflect these charges.

¹ Indicates length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.

Corporate Bonds. The unrealized losses on our investments in corporate bonds and asset-backed securities relate to changes in interest rates and credit-related yield spreads since time of purchase. We do not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2013.

Mortgage-Backed Debt Securities. The unrealized losses on our investments in mortgage-backed securities and mortgage-related asset-backed securities relate mainly to the continuation of elevated housing delinquencies, default rates and higher market yields since the time of purchase. We do not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that we will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis. We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2013.

Equity Securities. Cat Insurance maintains a well-diversified equity portfolio consisting of two specific mandates: large capitalization value stocks and smaller company growth stocks. U.S. equity valuations were generally higher during the third quarter of 2013 on generally favorable employment and housing data. The unrealized losses on investments in equity securities relate to uneven sector participation in the market recovery. We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of September 30, 2013.

The cost basis and fair value of the available-for-sale debt securities at September 30, 2013, by contractual maturity, is shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay and creditors may have the right to call obligations.

9. Postretirement Benefits

A. Pension and postretirement benefit costs

In February 2012, we announced the closure of the Electro-Motive Diesel facility located in London, Ontario. As a result of the closure, we recognized a $37 million other postretirement benefits curtailment gain. This excludes a $21 million loss of a third-party receivable for other postretirement benefits that was eliminated due to the closure. In addition, a $10 million special termination benefit expense was recognized related to statutory pension benefits required to be paid to certain affected employees. As a result, a net gain of $6 million related to the facility closure was recognized in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

In August 2012, we announced changes to our U.S. hourly pension plan, which impacted certain hourly employees. For the impacted employees, pension benefit accruals were frozen on January 1, 2013 or will freeze on January 1, 2016, at which time employees will become eligible for various provisions of company sponsored 401(k) plans including a matching contribution and an annual employer contribution. The plan changes resulted in a curtailment and required a remeasurement as of August 31, 2012. The curtailment and the remeasurement resulted in a net increase in our Liability for postemployment benefits of $243 million and a net loss of $153 million, net of tax, recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The increase in the liability was primarily due to a decline in the discount rate. Also, the curtailment resulted in expense of $7 million which was recognized in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Rate of compensation increase	4.5		%	4.5		%	3.9		%	3.9		%	4.4		%	4.4		%

Prior service cost (credit) and net actuarial loss (gain) for both pension and other postretirement benefits are generally amortized using the straight-line method over the average remaining service period to the full retirement eligibility date of employees expected to receive benefits from the plan. For pension plans in which all or almost all of the plan's participants are inactive and other postretirement benefit plans in which all or almost all of the plan's participants are fully eligible for benefits under the plan, prior service cost (credit) and net actuarial loss (gain) are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life expectancy of those participants.


²	Charge to recognize a previously unrecorded liability related to a subsidiary's pension plans.


³	Curtailments, settlements and special termination benefits were recognized in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.

We made $118 million and $398 million of contributions to our pension plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively. We currently anticipate full-year 2013 contributions of approximately $500 million, all of which are required. We made $195 million and $488 million of contributions to our pension plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively.

10. Guarantees and Product Warranty

We have provided an indemnity to a third-party insurance company for potential losses related to performance bonds issued on behalf of Caterpillar dealers. The bonds are issued to insure governmental agencies against nonperformance by certain dealers. We also provided guarantees to a third-party related to the performance of contractual obligations by certain Caterpillar dealers. The guarantees cover potential financial losses incurred by the third-party resulting from the dealers’ nonperformance.

We provide loan guarantees to third-party lenders for financing associated with machinery purchased by customers. These guarantees have varying terms and are secured by the machinery being financed. In addition, Cat Financial participates in standby letters of credit issued to third parties on behalf of their customers. These standby letters of credit have varying terms and beneficiaries and are secured by customer assets.

We have provided a guarantee to one of our customers in Brazil related to the performance of contractual obligations by a supplier consortium to which one of our Caterpillar subsidiaries is a member. The guarantees cover potential damages (some of them capped) incurred by the customer resulting from the supplier consortium’s non-performance. The guarantee will expire when the supplier consortium performs all its contractual obligations, which is expected to be completed in 2022.

We have provided guarantees to third-party lessors for certain properties leased by Cat Logistics Services, LLC, in which we sold a 65 percent equity interest in the third quarter of 2012. The guarantees are for the possibility that the third party logistics business would default on real estate lease payments. The guarantees were granted at lease inception, which was prior to the divestiture, and generally will expire at the end of the lease terms.

No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under any of these guarantees. At September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the related liability was $15 million and $14 million, respectively. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted and without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under recourse or collateralized provisions) we could be required to make under the guarantees are as follows:



(Millions of dollars)	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012
Caterpillar dealer guarantees	$	201	$	180
Customer guarantees	53		77
Customer guarantees – supplier consortium	359		—

Cat Financial provides guarantees to repurchase certain loans of Caterpillar dealers from a special-purpose corporation (SPC) that qualifies as a variable interest entity. The purpose of the SPC is to provide short-term working capital loans to Caterpillar dealers. This SPC issues commercial paper and uses the proceeds to fund its loan program. Cat Financial has a loan purchase agreement with the SPC that obligates Cat Financial to purchase certain loans that are not paid at maturity. Cat Financial receives a fee for providing this guarantee, which provides a source of liquidity for the SPC. Cat Financial is the primary beneficiary of the SPC as their guarantees result in Cat Financial having both the power to direct

Table of Contents

the activities that most significantly impact the SPC’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, and therefore Cat Financial has consolidated the financial statements of the SPC. As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the SPC’s assets of $1,044 million and $927 million, respectively, are primarily comprised of loans to dealers and the SPC’s liabilities of $1,043 million and $927 million, respectively, are primarily comprised of commercial paper. The assets of the SPC are not available to pay Cat Financial's creditors. Cat Financial may be obligated to perform under the guarantee if the SPC experiences losses. No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under this loan purchase agreement.

Our product warranty liability is determined by applying historical claim rate experience to the current field population and dealer inventory. Generally, historical claim rates are based on actual warranty experience for each product by machine model/engine size by customer or dealer location (inside or outside North America). Specific rates are developed for each product shipment month and are updated monthly based on actual warranty claim experience.

SARs and stock options to purchase 10,285,409 and 10,191,424 common shares were outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, which were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the effect would have been antidilutive. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, there were outstanding SARs and stock options to purchase 6,073,271 common shares which were antidilutive.

In February 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $7.5 billion of Caterpillar stock, and in December 2011, the authorization was extended through December 31, 2015. In April 2013, we entered into a definitive agreement with Citibank, N.A. to purchase shares of our common stock under an accelerated stock repurchase transaction (April

Table of Contents

ASR Agreement), which was completed in June 2013. In accordance with the terms of the April ASR Agreement, a total of 11.5 million shares of our common stock were repurchased at an aggregate cost to Caterpillar of $1.0 billion.

In July 2013, we entered into a definitive agreement with Société Générale to purchase shares of our common stock under an accelerated stock repurchase transaction (July ASR Agreement), which was completed in September 2013. In accordance with the terms of the July ASR Agreement, a total of 11.9 million shares of our common stock were repurchased at an aggregate cost to Caterpillar of $1.0 billion. Through the end of the third quarter of 2013, $5.8 billion of the $7.5 billion authorization was spent.

12. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income and its components are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. Changes in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax, included in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity, consisted of the following:

In conjunction with the Cat Japan share redemption, to reflect the increase in our ownership interest in Cat Japan from 67 percent to 100 percent, $107 million was reclassified to Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) from other components of stockholders' equity and was not included in Comprehensive income during the second quarter of 2012. The amount was comprised of foreign currency translation of $167 million, pension and other postretirement benefits of $(61) million and available-for-sale securities of $1 million.

13. Environmental and Legal Matters

The company is regulated by federal, state and international environmental laws governing our use, transport and disposal of substances and control of emissions. In addition to governing our manufacturing and other operations, these laws often impact the development of our products, including, but not limited to, required compliance with air emissions standards applicable to internal combustion engines. We have made, and will continue to make, significant research and development and capital expenditures to comply with these emissions standards.

We are engaged in remedial activities at a number of locations, often with other companies, pursuant to federal and state laws. When it is probable we will pay remedial costs at a site and those costs can be reasonably estimated, the costs are accrued against our earnings. In formulating that estimate, we do not consider amounts expected to be recovered from insurance companies or others. The amount recorded for environmental remediation is not material and is included in Accrued expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

We cannot reasonably estimate costs at sites in the very early stages of remediation. Currently, we have a few sites in the very early stages of remediation, and there is no more than a remote chance that a material amount for remedial activities at any individual site, or at all sites in the aggregate, will be required.

On October 24, 2013, Progress Rail Services Corporation (Progress Rail), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Caterpillar Inc., received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California. The subpoena requests documents and information from Progress Rail, United Industries Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Progress Rail, and Caterpillar Inc. relating to allegations that Progress Rail conducted improper or unnecessary railcar inspections and repairs and improperly disposed of parts, equipment, tools and other items. In connection with this subpoena, Progress Rail was informed by the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California that it is a target of a criminal investigation into potential violations of environmental laws and alleged improper business practices. The Company is cooperating with the authorities. Because of the recent timing of the subpoena, the Company is unable to

Table of Contents

predict the outcome or reasonably estimate the potential loss; however, we currently believe that this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated results of operation, financial position or liquidity.

We are also involved in unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The most prevalent of these unresolved actions involve disputes related to product design, manufacture and performance liability (including claimed asbestos and welding fumes exposure), contracts, employment issues, environmental matters or intellectual property rights. The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal actions is not material. In some cases, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter. However, there is no more than a remote chance that any liability arising from these matters would be material. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of these unresolved legal actions, we believe that these actions will not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

14. Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2013 reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent compared with 30.5 percent for 2012, excluding the items discussed below. The decrease is primarily due to the U.S. research and development tax credit that was expired in 2012, along with expected changes in our geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.

The 2013 tax provision also includes a benefit of $87 million primarily related to the research and development tax credit that was retroactively extended for 2012 and a benefit of $55 million resulting from true-up of estimated amounts used in the tax provision to the 2012 U.S. tax return as filed in September 2013. This compares to an $81 million negative impact related to nondeductible goodwill in the first nine months of 2012.

15. Segment Information


A.	Basis for segment information

Our Executive Office is comprised of five Group Presidents, a Senior Vice President and a CEO. Group Presidents are accountable for a related set of end-to-end businesses that they manage. The Senior Vice President leads the Caterpillar Enterprise System Group, which was formed during the second quarter of 2013 with the goal of improving our manufacturing and supply chain capabilities, driving sustained improvements in customer deliveries, improving operational efficiencies and building on recent product quality improvements. The CEO allocates resources and manages performance at the Group President level. As such, the CEO serves as our Chief Operating Decision Maker and operating segments are primarily based on the Group President reporting structure.

Three of our operating segments, Construction Industries, Resource Industries and Power Systems, are led by Group Presidents. One operating segment, Financial Products, is led by a Group President who has responsibility for Corporate Services. Corporate Services is a cost center primarily responsible for the performance of certain support functions globally and to provide centralized services; it does not meet the definition of an operating segment. The Caterpillar Enterprise System Group is also a cost center and does not meet the definition of an operating segment. One Group President leads a smaller operating segment that is included in the All Other operating segment.


B.	Description of segments

We have five operating segments, of which four are reportable segments. Following is a brief description of our reportable segments and the business activities included in the All Other operating segment:

Construction Industries: A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using machinery in infrastructure and building construction applications. Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing, and sales and product support. The product portfolio includes backhoe loaders, small wheel loaders, small track-type tractors, skid steer loaders, multi-terrain loaders, mini excavators, compact wheel loaders, select work tools, small, medium and large track excavators, wheel excavators, medium wheel loaders, medium track-type tractors, track-type loaders, motor graders and pipe layers. In addition, Construction Industries has responsibility for Power Systems and three wholly-owned dealers in Japan and an integrated manufacturing cost center. Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.

Table of Contents

Resource Industries: A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using machinery in mining and quarrying applications. Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management and development, manufacturing, marketing and sales and product support. The product portfolio includes large track-type tractors, large mining trucks, underground mining equipment, electric rope shovels, draglines, hydraulic shovels, drills, highwall miners, tunnel boring equipment, large wheel loaders, off-highway trucks, articulated trucks, wheel tractor scrapers, wheel dozers, select work tools, forestry products, paving products, industrial and waste products, machinery components and electronics and control systems. Resource Industries also manages areas that provide services to other parts of the company, including integrated manufacturing and research and development. In addition, segment profit includes the impact from divestiture of portions of the Bucyrus distribution business and the acquisition of ERA Mining Machinery Limited, including its wholly-owned subsidiary Zhengzhou Siwei Mechanical & Electrical Manufacturing Co., Ltd., commonly known as Siwei, which was completed during the second quarter of 2012. Siwei primarily designs, manufactures, sells and supports underground coal mining equipment in China. Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.

Power Systems: A segment primarily responsible for supporting customers using reciprocating engines, turbines and related parts across industries serving electric power, industrial, petroleum and marine applications as well as rail-related businesses. Responsibilities include business strategy, product design, product management, development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support of reciprocating engine powered generator sets, integrated systems used in the electric power generation industry, reciprocating engines and integrated systems and solutions for the marine and petroleum industries; reciprocating engines supplied to the industrial industry as well as Caterpillar machinery; the business strategy, product design, product management, development, manufacturing, marketing, sales and product support of turbines and turbine-related services; the development, manufacturing, remanufacturing, maintenance, leasing and service of diesel-electric locomotives and components and other rail-related products and services. Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment.

Financial Products Segment: Provides financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment, as well as some financing for Caterpillar sales to dealers. Financing plans include operating and finance leases, installment sale contracts, working capital loans and wholesale financing plans. The segment also provides various forms of insurance to customers and dealers to help support the purchase and lease of our equipment.

All Other: Primarily includes activities such as: the remanufacturing of Cat® engines and components and remanufacturing services for other companies as well as the product management, development, manufacturing, marketing and product support of undercarriage, specialty products, hardened bar stock components and ground engaging tools primarily for Caterpillar products; logistics services; the product management, development, marketing, sales and product support of on-highway vocational trucks for North America; distribution services responsible for dealer development and administration, dealer portfolio management and ensuring the most efficient and effective distribution of machines, engines and parts. On July 31, 2012, we sold a majority interest in Caterpillar's third party logistics business. Inter-segment sales are a source of revenue for this segment. Results for the All Other operating segment are included as a reconciling item between reportable segments and consolidated external reporting.


C.	Segment measurement and reconciliations

There are several methodology differences between our segment reporting and our external reporting. The following is a list of the more significant methodology differences:

•

Machinery and Power Systems segment net assets generally include inventories, receivables, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, intangibles, accounts payable, and customer advances. Liabilities other than accounts payable and customer advances are generally managed at the corporate level and are not included in segment operations. Financial Products Segment assets generally include all categories of assets.


•	Segment inventories and cost of sales are valued using a current cost methodology.


•	Goodwill allocated to segments is amortized using a fixed amount based on a 20 year useful life. This methodology difference only impacts segment assets; no goodwill amortization expense is included in segment profit. In addition, only a portion of goodwill for certain acquisitions made in 2011 or later has been allocated to segments.


•	The present value of future lease payments for certain Machinery and Power Systems operating leases is included in segment assets. The estimated financing component of the lease payments is excluded.

Table of Contents

•

Currency exposures for Machinery and Power Systems are generally managed at the corporate level and the effects of changes in exchange rates on results of operations within the year are not included in segment profit. The net difference created in the translation of revenues and costs between exchange rates used for U.S. GAAP reporting and exchange rates used for segment reporting are recorded as a methodology difference.


•	Postretirement benefit expenses are split; segments are generally responsible for service and prior service costs, with the remaining elements of net periodic benefit cost included as a methodology difference.


•	Machinery and Power Systems segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and excludes interest expense, gains and losses on interest rate swaps and other income/expense items. Financial Products Segment profit is determined on a pretax basis and includes other income/expense items.

Reconciling items are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and our consolidated external reporting. Please refer to pages 34 to 39 for financial information regarding significant reconciling items. Most of our reconciling items are self-explanatory given the above explanations. For the reconciliation of profit, we have grouped the reconciling items as follows:


•	Corporate costs: These costs are related to corporate requirements and strategies that are considered to be for the benefit of the entire organization.


•	Methodology differences: See previous discussion of significant accounting differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.


•	Timing: Timing differences in the recognition of costs between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.

16. Cat Financial Financing Activities

Credit quality of financing receivables and allowance for credit losses

Cat Financial applies a systematic methodology to determine the allowance for credit losses for finance receivables. Based upon Cat Financial’s analysis of credit losses and risk factors, portfolio segments are as follows:


•	Customer – Finance receivables with retail customers.


•	Dealer – Finance receivables with Caterpillar dealers.

Cat Financial further evaluates portfolio segments by the class of finance receivables, which is defined as a level of information (below a portfolio segment) in which the finance receivables have the same initial measurement attribute and a similar method for assessing and monitoring credit risk. Typically, Cat Financial’s finance receivables within a geographic area have similar credit risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring credit risk. Cat Financial’s classes, which align with management reporting for credit losses, are as follows:


•	North America – Finance receivables originated in the United States or Canada.


•	Europe – Finance receivables originated in Europe, Africa, Middle East and the Commonwealth of Independent States.


•	Asia Pacific – Finance receivables originated in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.


•	Mining – Finance receivables related to large mining customers worldwide.


•	Latin America – Finance receivables originated in Central and South American countries and Mexico.


•	Caterpillar Power Finance – Finance receivables related to marine vessels with Caterpillar engines worldwide and Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems worldwide.

Impaired loans and finance leases

For all classes, a loan or finance lease is considered impaired, based on current information and events, if it is probable that Cat Financial will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms of the loan or finance lease. Loans and finance leases reviewed for impairment include loans and finance leases that are past due, non-performing or in bankruptcy. Recognition of income is suspended and the loan or finance lease is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable (generally after 120 days past due except in locations where local regulatory requirements dictate a different method, or in instances in which relevant information is known that warrants placing the loan or finance lease on non-accrual status). Accrual is resumed, and previously suspended income is recognized, when the loan or finance lease becomes contractually current and/or collection doubts are removed. Cash receipts on impaired loans or finance leases are recorded against the receivable and then to any unrecognized income.

During the second quarter of 2013, Cat Financial changed the classification of certain loans and finance leases previously reported as impaired. While these loans and finance leases had been incorrectly reported as impaired, the related allowance for these loans and finance leases was appropriately measured; therefore, this change had no impact on the allowance for credit losses. The impact of incorrectly reporting these loans and finance leases as impaired was not considered material to previously issued financial statements; however, prior period impaired loan and finance lease balances have been revised throughout Notes 16 and 18.

There were no impaired loans or finance leases as of September 30, 2013 or December 31, 2012, for the Dealer portfolio segment. The average recorded investment for impaired loans and finance leases for the Dealer portfolio segment was zero for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012.

Individually impaired loans and finance leases for the Customer portfolio segment were as follows:

Non-accrual and past due loans and finance leases

For all classes, Cat Financial considers a loan or finance lease past due if any portion of a contractual payment is due and unpaid for more than 30 days. Recognition of income is suspended and the loan or finance lease is placed on non-accrual status when management determines that collection of future income is not probable (generally after 120 days past due except in locations where local regulatory requirements dictate a different method, or in instances in which relevant information is known that warrants placing the loan or finance lease on non-accrual status). Accrual is resumed, and previously suspended income is recognized, when the loan or finance lease becomes contractually current and/or collection doubts are removed.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, there were no loans or finance leases on non-accrual status for the Dealer portfolio segment.

The investment in customer loans and finance leases on non-accrual status was as follows:

Credit quality of finance receivables

The credit quality of finance receivables is reviewed on a monthly basis. Credit quality indicators include performing and non-performing. Non-performing is defined as finance receivables currently over 120 days past due and/or on non-accrual status or in bankruptcy. Finance receivables not meeting the criteria listed above are considered performing. Non-performing receivables have the highest probability for credit loss. The allowance for credit losses attributable to non-performing receivables is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the liquidation of collateral. In determining collateral value, Cat Financial estimates the current fair market value of the collateral. In addition, Cat Financial considers credit enhancements such as additional collateral and contractual third-party guarantees in determining the allowance for credit losses attributable to non-performing receivables.

The recorded investment in performing and non-performing finance receivables was as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A restructuring of a loan or finance lease receivable constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (TDR) when the lender grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. Concessions granted may include extended contract maturities, inclusion of interest only periods, below market interest rates, and extended skip payment periods.

TDRs are reviewed along with other receivables as part of management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses attributable to TDRs is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the liquidation of collateral. In determining collateral value, Cat Financial estimates the current fair market value of the collateral. In addition, Cat Financial factors in credit enhancements such as additional collateral and contractual third-party guarantees in determining the allowance for credit losses attributable to TDRs.

There were no loans or finance lease receivables modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 or 2012 for the Dealer portfolio segment.

Loan and finance lease receivables in the Customer portfolio segment modified as TDRs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, were as follows:

17. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest – Caterpillar Japan Ltd.

On August 1, 2008, Shin Caterpillar Mitsubishi Ltd. (SCM) completed the first phase of a share redemption plan whereby SCM redeemed half of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries' (MHI’s) shares in SCM. This resulted in Caterpillar owning 67 percent of the outstanding shares of SCM and MHI owning the remaining 33 percent. As part of the share redemption, SCM was renamed Caterpillar Japan Ltd. (Cat Japan) and we consolidated its financial statements. On April 2, 2012, we redeemed the remaining 33 percent interest at its carrying amount, resulting in Caterpillar becoming the sole owner of Cat Japan. Caterpillar paid $444 million (36.5 billion Japanese Yen) to acquire the remaining equity interest held in Cat Japan by MHI.

18. Fair Value Measurements

A. Fair value measurements

The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:


•	Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.


•	Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.


•	Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

When available, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value, and we classify such measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, we make use of observable market based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates. These measurements are classified within Level 3.

Table of Contents

Fair value measurements are classified according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. A measurement may therefore be classified within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

Fair value measurement includes the consideration of nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or Caterpillar) will not be fulfilled. For financial assets traded in an active market (Level 1 and certain Level 2), the nonperformance risk is included in the market price. For certain other financial assets and liabilities (certain Level 2 and Level 3), our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.

Available-for-sale securities

Our available-for-sale securities, primarily at Cat Insurance, include a mix of equity and debt instruments (see Note 8 for additional information). Fair values for our U.S. treasury bonds and equity securities are based upon valuations for identical instruments in active markets. Fair values for other government bonds, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed debt securities are based upon models that take into consideration such market-based factors as recent sales, risk-free yield curves and prices of similarly rated bonds.

Derivative financial instruments

The fair value of interest rate swap derivatives is primarily based on models that utilize the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and zero-coupon interest rates to determine discounted cash flows. The fair value of foreign currency and commodity forward, option and cross currency contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

Guarantees

The fair value of guarantees is based upon our estimate of the premium a market participant would require to issue the same guarantee in a stand-alone arms-length transaction with an unrelated party. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed models that utilize current market-based assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis at fair value, primarily related to Financial Products, included in our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are summarized below:

In addition to the amounts above, Cat Financial impaired loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. A loan is considered impaired when management determines that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable. In these cases, an allowance for credit losses may be established based primarily on the fair value of associated collateral. As the collateral’s fair value is based on observable market prices and/or current appraised values, the impaired loans are classified as Level 2 measurements. Cat Financial had impaired loans with a fair value of $109 million and $117 million as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

B. Fair values of financial instruments

In addition to the methods and assumptions we use to record the fair value of financial instruments as discussed in the Fair value measurements section above, we used the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments:

Cash and short-term investments

Carrying amount approximated fair value.

Restricted cash and short-term investments

Carrying amount approximated fair value. Restricted cash and short-term investments are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

Finance receivables

Fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.

Wholesale inventory receivables

Fair value was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using current rates, representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.

Short-term borrowings

Carrying amount approximated fair value.

Long-term debt

Fair value for fixed and floating rate debt was estimated based on quoted market prices.

Please refer to the table below for the fair values of our financial instruments.

19.	Acquisitions

Johan Walter Berg AB

In September 2013, we acquired 100 percent of the stock of Johan Walter Berg AB (Berg). Berg is a leading manufacturer of mechanically and electrically driven propulsion systems and marine controls for ships. Headquartered in Öckerö Islands, Sweden, Berg has designed and manufactured heavy-duty marine thrusters and controllable pitch propellers since 1929. Its proprietary systems are employed in maritime applications throughout the world that require precise maneuvering and positioning. With the acquisition, Caterpillar will transition from selling only engines and generators to providing complete marine propulsion package systems. The purchase price, net of $9 million of acquired cash, was approximately $166 million. The purchase price includes contingent consideration, payable in 2016, with a fair value of approximately $7 million. The contingent consideration will be based on the revenues achieved by Berg in the period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015 and is capped at €30 million. The contingent consideration will be remeasured each reporting period at its estimated fair value with any adjustment included in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations.

The transaction was financed with available cash. Tangible assets as of the acquisition date were $83 million, recorded at their fair values, and primarily included cash of $9 million, receivables of $13 million, inventories of $33 million and property, plant and equipment of $28 million. Finite-lived intangible assets acquired of $66 million included developed technology, customer relationships, and trade names. The finite lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average amortization period of approximately 10 years. Liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date were $83 million, recorded at their fair values, and primarily included accounts payable of $19 million, advance payments of $33 million and net deferred tax liabilities of $13 million. Goodwill of $109 million, non-deductible for income tax purposes, represented the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represented the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill include Berg’s

strategic fit into our product portfolio, the opportunity to provide worldwide support to marine operators for a complete, optimized propulsion package, and the acquired assembled workforce. These values represent a preliminary allocation of purchase price subject to finalization of post-closing procedures. Berg will be reported in the Power Systems segment in Note 15. Assuming this transaction had been made at the beginning of any period presented, the consolidated pro forma results would not be materially different from reported results.

ERA Mining Machinery Limited (Siwei)

During the second quarter of 2012, Caterpillar, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Caterpillar (Luxembourg) Investment Co. S.A. (CAT Lux), completed a tender offer to acquire the issued shares of ERA Mining Machinery Limited (Siwei), including its wholly-owned subsidiary Zhengzhou Siwei Mechanical Manufacturing Co., Ltd. Substantially all of the issued shares of Siwei, a public company listed on the Hong Kong Exchange, were acquired at the end of May 2012. In October 2012, the remaining shares of Siwei common stock were acquired for approximately $7 million in cash. Siwei primarily designs, manufactures, sells and supports underground coal mining equipment in mainland China and is known for its expertise in manufacturing mining roof support equipment. The acquisition supports Caterpillar's long-term commitment to invest in China in order to support our growing base of Chinese customers and will further expand our underground mining business both inside and outside of China.

The tender offer allowed Siwei shareholders to choose between two types of consideration in exchange for their shares. The alternatives were either cash consideration of HK$0.88 or a HK$1.00 loan note issued by CAT Lux to the former shareholders of Siwei that provided, subject to its terms, for the holder to receive on redemption a minimum of HK$0.75 up to a maximum of HK$1.15 depending on Siwei's consolidated gross profit for 2012 and 2013. Approximately 4 billion Siwei shares were tendered for the cash alternative and approximately 1.6 billion Siwei shares were tendered for the loan note alternative. The purchase price of approximately $677 million was comprised of net cash paid of approximately $444 million ($475 million in cash paid for shares and to cancel share options less cash acquired of $31 million), the fair value of the loan notes of $152 million, approximately $168 million of assumed third-party short term borrowings and notes payable, a loan and interest payable to Caterpillar from Siwei of $51 million, less restricted cash acquired of approximately $138 million. The noncontrolling interest for the outstanding shares not tendered was approximately $7 million.

The transaction was financed with available cash and included the issuance of loan notes to certain former shareholders of Siwei, which had a debt component and a portion that was contingent consideration. The $152 million fair value represented the minimum redemption amount of the debt component payable in April 2013.

Tangible assets as of the acquisition date and after giving effect to the adjustments described below were $598 million, recorded at their fair values, and primarily included cash of $31 million, restricted cash of $138 million, receivables of $184 million, inventories of $77 million and property, plant and equipment of $94 million. Finite-lived intangible assets acquired of $112 million were primarily related to customer relationships and also included trade names. The finite-lived intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted average amortization period of approximately 14 years. Liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date and after giving effect to the adjustments described below were $626 million, recorded at their fair values, and primarily included accounts payable of $352 million, third-party short term borrowings and notes payable of $168 million and accrued expenses of $37 million. Additionally, deferred tax liabilities were $25 million. Goodwill of $625 million, substantially all of which is non-deductible for income tax purposes, represented the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represented the estimated future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be tested for impairment at least annually. Factors that contributed to a purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill include expected cost savings primarily from increased purchasing power for raw materials, improved working capital management, expanded underground mining equipment sales opportunities in China and internationally, along with the acquired assembled workforce. The results of the acquired business for the period from the acquisition date are included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and are reported in the Resource Industries segment in Note 15. Assuming this transaction had been made at the beginning of any period presented, the consolidated pro forma results would not be materially different from reported results.

In November 2012, Caterpillar became aware of inventory accounting discrepancies at Siwei which led to an internal investigation. Caterpillar's investigation determined that Siwei had engaged in accounting misconduct prior to Caterpillar's acquisition of Siwei in mid-2012. The accounting misconduct included inappropriate accounting practices involving improper cost allocation that resulted in overstated profit and improper revenue recognition practices involving early and, at times unsupported, revenue recognition. Due to the identified accounting misconduct that occurred before the

Table of Contents

acquisition, measurement period adjustments were made to the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities during the fourth quarter of 2012. The fair values presented above are a final allocation of the purchase price and reflect these changes, which are primarily comprised of a decrease in finite-lived intangible assets of $82 million, a decrease in receivables of $29 million, a decrease in inventory of $17 million and a net increase in liabilities of $23 million, resulting in an increase in goodwill of $149 million.

Because of the accounting misconduct identified in the fourth quarter of 2012, Siwei's goodwill was tested for impairment as of November 30, 2012. We determined the carrying value of Siwei, which is a separate reporting unit, exceeded its fair value at the measurement date, requiring step two in the impairment test process. The fair value of the Siwei reporting unit was determined primarily using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows. We assigned the fair value to the reporting unit's assets and liabilities and determined the implied fair value of goodwill was substantially below the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill. Accordingly, we recognized a $580 million goodwill impairment charge, which resulted in goodwill of approximately $45 million remaining for Siwei. The goodwill impairment was a result of changes in the assumptions used to determine the fair value resulting from the accounting misconduct that occurred before the acquisition. There was no tax benefit associated with this impairment charge. The Siwei goodwill impairment charge was reported in the fourth quarter of 2012 in the Resource Industries segment.

In May 2013, Caterpillar and its wholly-owned subsidiaries CAT Lux and Siwei entered into a settlement agreement with two former directors of Siwei and two other parties with an interest in the settlement, including Mining Machinery Limited (MML). The agreement settles the dispute between the parties which arose from Caterpillar's determination that Siwei senior managers had engaged in accounting misconduct for several years prior to Caterpillar's announcement of the completion of its tender offer for Siwei in the second quarter of 2012.

Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the parties agreed that (i) the loan notes issued by CAT Lux (and guaranteed by Caterpillar) as a portion of the Siwei purchase price and held by MML and (ii) loans made by the two former Siwei directors to Siwei prior to its acquisition by Caterpillar would all be canceled and discharged in exchange for payments by CAT Lux to MML and the two former directors in an aggregate amount of approximately $30 million. As of the settlement in May 2013, the loan notes had a book value of approximately $152 million and the obligation related to the loans by the two former directors was approximately $13 million. The settlement agreement contains a mutual release and discharge of the parties' respective claims with respect to the dispute and contains an agreement by Caterpillar and CAT Lux not to pursue any such claims against either the auditors or former directors of Siwei. The settlement and discharge of the loan obligations resulted in the recognition of a gain of approximately $135 million reported in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations and is included in the Resource Industries segment.

20. Divestitures and Assets Held for Sale

Bucyrus Distribution Business Divestiture

In conjunction with our acquisition of Bucyrus in July 2011, we announced our intention to sell the Bucyrus distribution business to Caterpillar dealers that support mining customers around the world in a series of individual transactions. Bucyrus predominantly employed a direct to end customer model to sell and support products. The intention is for all Bucyrus products to be sold and serviced by Caterpillar dealers, consistent with our long-held distribution strategy. These transitions are occurring in phases based on the mining business opportunity within each dealer territory.

As portions of the Bucyrus distribution business are sold or classified as held for sale, they will not qualify as discontinued operations because Caterpillar expects significant continuing direct cash flows from the Caterpillar dealers after the divestitures. The gain or loss on disposal, along with the continuing operations of these disposal groups, will be reported in the Resource Industries segment. Goodwill will be allocated to each disposal group using the relative fair value method. The value of the customer relationship intangibles related to each portion of the Bucyrus distribution business to be sold will be included in the disposal groups. The disposal groups will be recorded at the lower of their carrying value or fair value less cost to sell. The portions of the distribution business that were sold were not material to our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

We completed two sale transactions during the first quarter, one during the second quarter and three during the third quarter of 2013 whereby we sold portions of the Bucyrus distribution business to Caterpillar dealers for an aggregate price of $199 million. For the first nine months of 2013, after-tax profit was unfavorably impacted by $44 million as a result of the Bucyrus distribution divestiture activities. This is comprised of $64 million of gains related to the sales transactions, a $34 million unfavorable adjustment due to a change in estimate to increase the reserve for parts returns

Table of Contents

related to prior sale transactions (both included in Other operating (income) expenses) and costs incurred related to the Bucyrus distribution divestiture activities of $85 million (included in Selling, general and administrative expenses), offset by an income tax benefit of $11 million.

Assets sold in the first nine months of 2013 primarily consisted of customer relationship intangibles of $31 million, allocated goodwill of $24 million, inventory of $20 million and fixed assets of $8 million related to the divested portions of the Bucyrus distribution business.

As of September 30, 2013, nine divestiture transactions were classified as held for sale and are expected to close in 2013 and 2014. Current assets held for sale were included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and non-current assets held for sale were included in Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position.

The major classes of assets held for sale for a portion of the Bucyrus distribution business were as follows:



(Millions of dollars)	September 30, 2013		December 31, 2012

Inventories	$	63	$	30

Third Party Logistics Business Divestiture

On July 31, 2012 Platinum Equity acquired a 65 percent equity interest in Caterpillar Logistics Services LLC, the third party logistics division of our wholly owned subsidiary, Caterpillar Logistics Inc., for $567 million subject to certain working capital adjustments. The purchase price of $567 million was comprised of a $107 million equity contribution from Platinum Equity to, and third party debt raised by, Caterpillar Logistics Services LLC. The sale of the third party logistics business supports Caterpillar's increased focus on the continuing growth opportunities in its core businesses. Under the terms of the agreement, Caterpillar retained a 35 percent equity interest.

As a result of the divestiture, we recorded a pretax gain of $276 million (included in Other operating (income) expenses). In addition, we recognized $8 million of incremental incentive compensation expense. The fair value of our retained noncontrolling interest was $58 million, as determined by the $107 million equity contribution from Platinum Equity, and was included in Investments in unconsolidated affiliated companies in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The disposal did not qualify as discontinued operations because Caterpillar has significant continuing involvement through its noncontrolling interest. The financial impact of the disposal was reported in the All Other operating segment. Results for our remaining interest are recorded in Equity in profit (loss) of unconsolidated affiliated companies and are reported in the All Other operating segment.

The controlling financial interest in Caterpillar Logistics Services LLC was not material to our results of operations, financial position or cash flow.

21. Employee Separation Charges

In 2012, we reported employee separation charges of $94 million in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations primarily related to the closure of the Electro-Motive Diesel facility located in London, Ontario and separation programs in Europe. The majority of the charges were related to the Power Systems segment.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized employee separation charges of $34 million and $57 million, respectively, in Other operating (income) expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Results of Operations primarily related to separation programs in North America and Europe. The charges were related primarily to the Resource Industries and Construction Industries segments.

Table of Contents

Our accounting for separations was dependent upon how the particular program was designed. For voluntary programs, eligible separation costs were recognized at the time of employee acceptance. For involuntary programs, eligible costs were recognized when management had approved the program, the affected employees had been properly notified and the costs were estimable.

The following table summarizes the 2012 and 2013 separation activity:



(Millions of dollars)
	Total
Liability balance at December 31, 2011	$	90
Increase in liability (separation charges)	94
Reduction in liability (payments and other adjustments)	(155		)

Increase in liability (separation charges)	57
Reduction in liability (payments and other adjustments)	(43		)
Liability balance at September 30, 2013	$	43

The remaining liability balances as of September 30, 2013 represent costs for employees that have either not yet separated from the Company or their full severance has not yet been paid. The majority of these remaining costs are expected to be paid in 2013 and 2014.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

We reported third-quarter 2013 sales and revenues of $13.423 billion, an 18 percent decrease from third-quarter 2012 sales and revenues of $16.445 billion. Profit per share for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.45, a 43 percent decrease from third-quarter 2012 profit per share of $2.54. Profit was $946 million in the quarter, a decrease of 44 percent from $1.699 billion in the third quarter of 2012.

Sales and revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were $41.254 billion, down $8.546 billion, or 17 percent, from $49.800 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Profit per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $4.21, a 43 percent decrease from the nine months ended September 30, 2012 profit per share of $7.44. Profit was $2.786 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of 44 percent from $4.984 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Highlights for the third quarter of 2013 include:

•

Nearly 80 percent of the decline in third-quarter sales volume was in Resource Industries resulting from changes in dealer inventories and lower deliveries to end users as customers in all geographic regions have reduced capital expenditures across the mining industry. While Resource Industries’ sales are very low, sales in Power Systems and Construction Industries have been more stable. The diversity of these businesses and the industries we serve, along with the continued strong performance of our Financial Products segment has provided a balance to our overall results.


•	The decline in profit per share of $1.09 from the third quarter of 2012 is primarily a result of the $3 billion drop in sales and revenues and the absence of last year’s gain from the sale of a majority interest in our third-party logistics business.


•	The impact of lower sales volume in the third quarter of 2013 was partially offset by aggressive cost cutting measures including temporary plant shutdowns, significant workforce reductions, temporary layoffs for thousands of salaried management employees and general austerity measures across the company.


•	Our inventory continued to decline in the third quarter of 2013, which was positive to operating cash flow but unfavorable to profit. Inventory was about $500 million below the end of the second quarter of 2013 and about $2.2 billion below year-end 2012.


•	Machinery and Power Systems (M&PS) operating cash flow was $2.109 billion in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $994 million in the third quarter of 2012. The improvement was the result of favorable changes in working capital, primarily inventory and accounts payable, partially offset by lower profit.


•	M&PS debt-to-capital ratio was 34.1 percent, down from 34.9 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2013.


•	We repurchased $1 billion of stock in the third quarter of 2013 in addition to the $1 billion repurchased in the second quarter of 2013.

Sales and Revenues

Total sales and revenues were $13.423 billion in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $3.022 billion, or 18 percent, from the third quarter of 2012. When reviewing the change in sales and revenues, we focus on the following perspectives:

•

Reasons for the change: Sales volume decreased $2.729 billion with nearly 80 percent of the decline in Resource Industries. More than half of the total volume decrease was related to changes in dealer machine and engine inventories and the remainder was primarily a result of lower dealer deliveries to end users, primarily in Resource Industries. During the third quarter of 2012, dealers increased machine and engine inventories by about $800 million, and during the third quarter of 2013, dealers reduced machine and engine inventories by about $800 million. Most of the change in both periods was in Resource Industries related to mining. During the third quarter of 2012, dealers received products that they had previously ordered in anticipation of higher demand. During the third quarter of 2013, most of the decline was related to dealers adjusting inventory levels in response to lower end-user demand resulting primarily from mining companies reducing their capital expenditures. We expect another substantial decline in dealer inventories in the fourth quarter.

Dealers are independent and there could be many reasons for changes in their inventory levels. In general, dealers adjust inventory based on their expectations of future demand and product delivery times. Dealers’ demand expectations take into account seasonal changes, macroeconomic conditions and other factors. Delivery times can vary based on availability of product from Caterpillar factories and product distribution centers. In addition, dealers are utilizing inventory from our product distribution centers at a higher rate to meet end-user demand, primarily for Construction Industries’ products.

In addition, currency was unfavorable $188 million primarily due to the weaker Japanese yen, as sales in yen translated into fewer U.S. dollars. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures was unfavorable $87 million, with more than half of the decline due to the absence of our third party logistics business. Price realization was unfavorable $57 million mainly due to continuing sales from a large government order in Brazil and an increasingly competitive pricing environment primarily within Construction Industries which we expect to continue. We expect continuing machine sales in 2014 pursuant to an additional government order in Brazil, although not to the same extent as the current order. The increasingly competitive pricing

Table of Contents

environment is attributable to a number of factors including excess industry capacity caused by weaker than expected economic conditions. These decreases were partially offset by increased Financial Products’ revenues of $39 million.

While almost all of the decline in sales was related to new equipment, aftermarket parts sales declined slightly.

•

Sales by geographic region: While sales declined in all geographic regions, the most significant reduction was in Asia/Pacific. The Asia/Pacific decline was primarily related to lower sales in Australia where the most significant decrease was in mining sales, due to continued low demand. While sales in Asia/Pacific declined overall, sales in China increased as we focused on improving our competitive position through building out the Caterpillar business model, the key elements of which focus on increasing field population, improving customer loyalty and providing superior customer support in conjunction with our independent dealers. Our total company sales and revenues in China were about $800 million in the third quarter 2013 as compared with about $600 million in the third quarter of 2012. This represents an increase of about 30 percent from the third quarter of 2012 and was primarily related to sales in Construction Industries. Sales and revenues in China represented about 6 percent of total company sales and revenues in the third quarter of 2013. The declines in North America and EAME were primarily due to unfavorable changes in dealer inventories.

•

Sales by segment: Sales decreased in all segments. The most significant was a 42-percent decline in Resource Industries resulting primarily from changes in dealer inventories and weaker demand in mining primarily due to mining companies reducing their capital expenditures. Power Systems’ sales and Construction Industries’ sales both decreased 7 percent. Financial Products segment revenues were up 4 percent.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PROFIT

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profit between the third quarter of 2012 (at left) and the third quarter of 2013 (at right). Items favorably impacting operating profit appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting operating profit appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's Board of Directors and employees. The bar entitled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery and Power Systems other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the third quarter of 2013 was $1.401 billion, a decline of $1.195 billion, or 46 percent, from the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of lower sales volume, which included an unfavorable mix of products. The unfavorable mix was primarily due to a more significant decline in Resource Industries’ sales than sales for other segments. Acquisitions and divestitures negatively impacted operating profit by $268 million primarily due to the absence of a gain from the sale of a majority interest in our external logistics business during the third quarter of 2012. Price realization was unfavorable mainly due to continuing sales from a large government order in Brazil and an increasingly competitive pricing environment primarily within Construction Industries which we expect will continue. These unfavorable impacts were partially offset by decreases in SG&A and R&D expenses, a favorable impact from currency and lower manufacturing costs.

Table of Contents

Decreases in SG&A and R&D expenses were primarily due to lower discretionary and program spending driven by cost reduction measures implemented in response to lower volumes. The favorable impact of currency was mostly due to the Japanese yen. We have a sizable manufacturing presence in Japan, and while some of this production is sold in Japan, we are a net exporter, and therefore, a weaker yen provides a cost benefit.

Manufacturing costs decreased $102 million. The decrease was primarily due to lower material costs and warranty expense, partially offset by unfavorable changes in cost absorption resulting from a decrease in inventory during the third quarter of 2013 and an increase in inventory during the third quarter of 2012.

The reduction in Caterpillar inventory was about $500 million in the third quarter of 2013. The reduction was primarily in finished goods, including inventory held at our product distribution centers. We are working throughout the company to improve our supply chain and inventory performance. We are not expecting a significant change in our inventory in the fourth quarter.

Volume adjusted costs (manufacturing costs and SG&A and R&D expenses) for Machinery & Power Systems were down over $350 million in the third quarter of 2013 as compared with the third quarter of 2012. Excluding the impact of cost absorption resulting from changes in inventory, volume adjusted costs were down over $450 million.

Despite the significant reduction in sales volume, manufacturing efficiencies were about flat due to cost reduction initiatives including temporary factory shutdowns, rolling layoffs throughout much of the company and reductions in our workforce. We are evaluating a wide range of actions throughout our business to improve our cost structure and anticipated changes may include rationalization of some products, shifting production between certain facilities, rationalization of some of our smaller facilities, workforce reductions and the consolidation of functions within our management structure.

The third-quarter short term incentive compensation expense related to 2013 was about $100 million, and we expect the full year will be about $460 million. Short term incentive compensation expense in the third quarter of 2012 was about $130 million, and full-year 2012 was about $825 million.

Other Profit/Loss Items


•	Interest expense excluding Financial Products decreased $13 million compared with the third quarter of 2012.


•	Other income/expense was expense of $24 million compared with expense of $17 million in the third quarter of 2012. Both periods include unfavorable impacts from currency translation and hedging.


•	The provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2013 reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent compared with 30.5 percent for 2012, excluding the items discussed below. The decrease is primarily due to the U.S. research and development tax credit that was expired in 2012, along with expected changes in our geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.

The tax provision for the third quarter of 2013 also includes a benefit of $55 million resulting from true-up of estimated amounts used in the tax provision to the 2012 U.S. tax return as filed in September 2013. The tax provision for the third quarter of 2012 included a negative impact of $6 million from nondeductible goodwill.

Construction Industries

Construction Industries’ sales were $4.547 billion in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $357 million, or 7 percent, from the third quarter of 2012. The sales decrease was due to the unfavorable impact of currency, lower sales volume and unfavorable price realization. Sales of new equipment declined, and sales of aftermarket parts were about flat.


•	The unfavorable currency impact was primarily from a weaker Japanese yen, as sales in yen translated into fewer U.S. dollars.


•	The decline in sales volume was primarily related to changes in dealer inventories which more than offset improvements in deliveries to end users in North America and Latin America.


•	Price realization was unfavorable primarily due to continuing sales from a large government order in Brazil and an increasingly competitive pricing environment.

Sales declined in all geographic regions except Latin America.


•	The increase in Latin America was primarily due to continuing sales from a large government order in Brazil.


•	In EAME, end-user demand declined as a result of continuing economic weakness in Europe, dealer inventory changes were negative and price realization was unfavorable, due to an increasingly competitive pricing environment.

•

In North America, end-user demand increased, but was more than offset by the negative impact of dealer inventory changes. The increase in end-user demand resulted primarily from construction-related spending in the United States. Although still below prior peaks, the housing industry has improved and many state and local government budgets are showing signs of improvement which we expect to favorably impact construction spending.


•	In Asia/Pacific, higher sales in China were more than offset by negative currency impacts primarily from the weaker Japanese yen and lower sales in other countries due to slower economic growth. We believe higher sales in China, particularly with

respect to hydraulic excavators, were due primarily to an increase in our competitive position through building out the Caterpillar business model, the key elements of which focus on increasing field population, improving customer loyalty and providing superior customer support in conjunction with our independent dealers.

During the third quarter of 2013, dealers utilized inventory from our product distribution centers at a higher rate to meet end-user demand. We expect production levels to increase in the fourth quarter of 2013.

Construction Industries’ profit was $262 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $459 million in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in profit was primarily due to unfavorable price realization, lower sales volume, which included an unfavorable mix of products, and the absence of a gain on sale of land from the third quarter of 2012. The unfavorable mix of products is primarily attributable to relatively higher sales of small and mid-size machines which generally have lower margins than larger size machines which are also sold into mining applications.

Resource Industries

Resource Industries’ sales were $3.004 billion in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $2.210 billion, or 42 percent, from the third quarter of 2012, almost all from lower sales volume. Although production of most mined commodities is near or above a year ago, after several years of increasing capital expenditures, mining customers in all geographic regions have reduced spending across the mining industry. As a result, we believe that mining companies are increasing productivity at existing mines rather than investing in expansions or new mine openings which results in lower demand for our mining products. As a result, end-user demand was lower, and new orders for mining equipment continued to be weak in the quarter.

About half of the decline in sales volume was due to changes in dealer machine inventory. Dealers continued to significantly reduce machine inventory during the third quarter of 2013 to better align inventory levels with demand. This compares with an increase in dealer machine inventory during the third quarter of 2012. Demand was also lower as dealer deliveries to end users declined resulting from mining companies reducing their capital expenditures. Almost all of the sales decline was related to new equipment. Aftermarket part sales also declined as some companies are delaying maintenance and rebuild activities.

Sales were lower in every region of the world, with the most significant decline in Asia/Pacific, where about half of the worldwide dealer inventory impacts occurred.

Resource Industries’ profit was $409 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $1.113 billion in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of lower sales volume, partially offset by lower SG&A and R&D expenses and decreased manufacturing costs.

SG&A and R&D expenses were lower primarily due to decreased spending for new product introduction programs and other cost cutting measures in response to lower volumes. The decrease in manufacturing costs was driven by lower period manufacturing expenses due to cost reduction measures and lower material costs. These favorable impacts were partially offset by unfavorable changes in cost absorption resulting from a decrease in inventory during the third quarter of 2013 and an increase in inventory during the third quarter of 2012.

We are expecting lower mining sales in 2014 and are continuing our efforts to lower structural costs. In order to be well-positioned when the industry improves, we are working to reduce costs, but are not expecting to make substantial changes in physical capacity.

Power Systems

Power Systems’ sales were $4.922 billion in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $395 million, or 7 percent, from the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily a result of lower volume for electric power applications. In addition, sales for rail and petroleum applications were lower. Sales declines in electric power and petroleum applications were driven by dealers reducing their inventory levels in the third quarter of 2013, compared with dealers increasing inventory levels in the third quarter of 2012. Turbine-related sales, which are sold directly to end users and are not affected by dealer inventory, were about flat. Decreases in rail were driven by a reduction in services and timing of shipments of locomotives.

Sales decreased in all regions except Latin America.

•

In North America, the sales decrease was due to declines in end-user demand, primarily in petroleum applications and rail services. For petroleum, lower demand was due to an oversupply of equipment used in drilling and well servicing applications. For rail services, declines in railway coal traffic resulted in lower maintenance and repair needs. In addition, changes in dealer inventories were unfavorable for electric power applications as dealers increased inventories in anticipation of higher demand during the third quarter of 2012, and reduced their inventories during the third quarter of 2013.


•	In EAME, the sales decrease was primarily due to the impact of dealer inventory changes for electric power applications. During the third quarter of 2012, dealers increased inventories in anticipation of higher demand and reduced their inventories during the third quarter of 2013.

Table of Contents


•	In Asia/Pacific, the decline in sales was due to unfavorable changes in dealer inventories. During the third quarter of 2012, dealers increased inventories in anticipation of higher demand and reduced their inventories during the third quarter of 2013. Those negative impacts were partially offset by higher end-user demand across most applications.


•	The improvement in Latin America was primarily due to the completion of two large turbine projects.

Power Systems’ profit was $883 million in the third quarter of 2013 compared with $943 million in the third quarter of 2012. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume, partially offset by lower manufacturing costs, decreased SG&A and R&D expenses and favorable price realization.

The decrease in manufacturing costs was driven by lower material costs and a favorable change in cost absorption resulting from an increase in inventory during the third quarter of 2013 and a decrease in inventory during the third quarter of 2012. SG&A and R&D expenses were favorable primarily due to lower program costs.

Financial Products Segment

Financial Products’ revenues were $807 million, an increase of $31 million, or 4 percent, from the third quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to the favorable impact from higher average earning assets across all geographic regions except Asia/Pacific and an increase in Cat Insurance revenues in North America partially offset by declines in EAME and Latin America. These increases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates on new and existing finance receivables and operating leases across all geographic regions.

Financial Products’ profit was $218 million in the third quarter of 2013, compared with $190 million in the third quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to an $18 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets and a $17 million favorable impact from lower claims experience at Cat Insurance.

At the end of the third quarter of 2013, past dues at Cat Financial were 2.45 percent compared with 2.64 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2013, 2.26 percent at the end of 2012 and 2.80 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2012. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $58 million for the third quarter of 2013, up from $29 million for the third quarter of 2012. The increase in write-offs was primarily related to Cat Financial’s European marine portfolio and was previously provided for in the allowance for credit losses.

As of September 30, 2013, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $404 million or 1.40 percent of net finance receivables, compared with $426 million or 1.49 percent of net finance receivables at year-end 2012. The allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2012, was $404 million or 1.47 percent of net finance receivables.

All Other Segment

All Other Segment includes groups that provide services such as component manufacturing, remanufacturing and logistics.

The decrease in sales was primarily due to the absence of our third party logistics business, which was sold in the third quarter of 2012. Lower profit was primarily due to the absence of the gain on the sale of our third party logistics business.

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $477 million in the third quarter of 2013, a decrease of $44 million from the third quarter of 2012. Corporate items and eliminations include: corporate-level expenses; timing differences, as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis; retirement benefit costs other than service cost; currency differences for M&PS, as segment profit is reported using annual fixed exchange rates; and inter-segment eliminations.

The decrease in expense from the third quarter of 2012 was primarily due to favorable impacts from timing differences, partially offset by unfavorable impacts from currency. Segment profit for 2013 is based on fixed exchange rates set at the beginning of 2013, while segment profit for 2012 is based on fixed exchange rates set at the beginning of 2012. The difference in actual exchange rates compared with fixed exchange rates is included in corporate items and eliminations and is not reflected in segment profit.

NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 COMPARED WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2012

CONSOLIDATED SALES AND REVENUES

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Sales and Revenues between the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (at left) and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (at right). Items favorably impacting sales and revenues appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting sales and revenues appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's Board of Directors and employees.

Total sales and revenues were $41.254 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $8.546 billion, or 17 percent, from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. When reviewing the change in sales and revenues, we focus on the following perspectives:

•

Reasons for the change: Sales volume decreased $7.945 billion with the most significant decline in Resource Industries. More than half of the total volume decrease was related to changes in dealer machine and engine inventories and the remainder was primarily due to lower dealer deliveries to end users, primarily in Resource Industries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, dealers increased machine and engine inventories by about $2.3 billion. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, dealers reduced their machine and engine inventories by about $2.6 billion. Most of the change in both periods was in Resource Industries related to mining. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, dealers received products that they had previously ordered in anticipation of higher demand. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, most of the decline was related to dealers adjusting inventory levels in response to lower end-user demand resulting primarily from mining companies reducing their capital expenditures. We expect another substantial decline in dealer inventories in the fourth quarter.

Dealers are independent, and there could be many reasons for changes in their inventory levels. In general, dealers adjust inventory based on their expectations of future demand and product delivery times. Dealers’ demand expectations take into account seasonal changes, macroeconomic conditions and other factors. Delivery times can vary based on availability of product from Caterpillar factories and product distribution centers. In addition, dealers are utilizing inventory from our product distribution centers at a higher rate to meet end-user demand, primarily for Construction Industries’ products.

In addition, the impact of currency was unfavorable $399 million primarily due to the weakening of the Japanese yen, as sales in yen translated into fewer U.S. dollars. The net impact of acquisitions and divestitures was unfavorable $398 million mainly due to the absence of our third party logistics business. These decreases were partially offset by increased Financial Products' revenues of $117 million and favorable price realization of $79 million.

While almost all of the decline in sales was related to new equipment, aftermarket parts sales declined slightly.


•	Sales by geographic region: Sales declined in all geographic regions. The decline in Asia/Pacific was primarily related to lower sales in Australia where the most significant decrease was in mining sales, due to continued low demand. While sales

Table of Contents

in Asia/Pacific declined overall, sales in China increased as we focused on improving our competitive position through building out the Caterpillar business model, the key elements of which focus on increasing field population, improving customer loyalty and providing superior customer support in conjunction with our independent dealers. Our total company sales and revenues in China for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 were about $2.5 billion compared with about $2.1 billion for the same period a year ago, with over half of the increase in Construction Industries. Sales were lower in North America and EAME primarily due to changes in dealer inventories and lower dealer deliveries to end users. In Latin America, the sales decline was primarily due to changes in dealer inventories, partially offset by increases in deliveries to end users.


•	Sales by segment: Sales decreased in all segments. The most significant decrease was in Resource Industries, with sales down 33 percent primarily from dealer inventory changes and weaker demand in mining. Construction Industries' sales decreased 11 percent, and Power Systems' sales were 8 percent lower. Financial Products' segment revenues were up 5 percent.

CONSOLIDATED OPERATING PROFIT

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profit between the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (at left) and the nine months ended September 30, 2013 (at right). Items favorably impacting operating profit appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting operating profit appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's Board of Directors and employees. The bar entitled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery and Power Systems other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $4.176 billion compared with $7.535 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012, a 45 percent decrease. The decrease was primarily the result of lower sales volume, which included an unfavorable mix of products. The unfavorable mix was primarily due to a more significant decline in Resource Industries’ sales than sales for other segments. The impact of acquisitions and divestitures and increased manufacturing costs were also unfavorable to operating profit.

Acquisitions and divestitures negatively impacted operating profit by $461 million primarily due to the absence of a gain from the sale of a majority interest in our external logistics business during the third quarter of 2012. Additionally, the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included substantial pre-tax gains on the sale of portions of the Bucyrus distribution business, while the impact on the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was negative. The $135 million favorable impact from the settlement with the previous owners of our Siwei acquisition was partially offset by other operating losses at Siwei.

Manufacturing costs increased $313 million. The increase was primarily due to unfavorable changes in cost absorption resulting from a decrease in inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and an increase in inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This unfavorable impact was partially offset by lower material costs.

We reduced inventory both in the fourth quarter of 2012 and the first nine months of 2013. The groundwork for these reductions began in mid-2012 as order rates declined and actions were needed to bring inventory levels in line with expected demand. Based on dealers’ expectation of future demand, macro-economic conditions and the amount of finished goods we had available in our product distribution centers, dealers also took action to lower their inventories. As a result, new orders from dealers declined

Table of Contents

sharply in the third quarter of 2012, and we began lowering production schedules and incoming material purchases from suppliers around the world. While production schedules began to decline in the third quarter of 2012, the most significant impacts on production and inventory, including rolling plant shutdowns at a number of facilities, occurred in the fourth quarter of 2012 and continued throughout the first nine months of 2013. The inventory decline during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was primarily in Construction Industries and Resource Industries.

We are evaluating a wide range of actions throughout our business to improve our cost structure and anticipated changes may include rationalization of some products, shifting production between certain facilities, rationalization of some of our smaller facilities, workforce reductions and the consolidation of functions within our management structure.

The decline in SG&A and R&D expenses was positive to operating profit by $363 million, primarily due to lower discretionary and program spending driven by cost reduction measures implemented in response to lower volumes and decreased incentive compensation expense, partially offset by higher wage and benefit inflation.

Short term incentive compensation expense related to the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was about $350 million, compared with about $625 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We expect short-term incentive compensation expense for the full year of 2013 to be about $460 million compared with about $825 million for the full year of 2012.

Currency favorably impacted operating profit by $285 million, mostly due to the Japanese yen. We have a sizable manufacturing presence in Japan, and while some of this production is sold in Japan, we are a net exporter, and therefore, a weaker yen provides a cost benefit. Financial Products' operating profit increased $174 million.

Volume adjusted costs (manufacturing costs and SG&A and R&D expenses) for Machinery & Power Systems were down about $700 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, excluding about $650 million unfavorable cost absorption resulting from changes in inventory, as compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Other Profit/Loss Items

•

Other income/expense was expense of $79 million compared with income of $141 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The change was primarily due to the unfavorable impact of currency translation and hedging gains and losses. Translation and hedging losses in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 totaled $230 million, primarily due to translation losses. Most of the impact in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was a result of our net asset/liability positions and exchange rate movements and hedging primarily for Japanese yen and Brazilian real. In the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we had translation and hedging losses of $46 million.


•	The provision for income taxes for the first nine months of 2013 reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent compared with 30.5 percent for 2012, excluding the items discussed below. The decrease is primarily due to the U.S. research and development tax credit that was expired in 2012, along with expected changes in our geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.

Construction Industries

Construction Industries' sales were $13.594 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $1.712 billion, or 11 percent, from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Although the worldwide construction industry is showing some signs of improvement and order rates are improving, it remains relatively depressed from a historical standpoint, which is negative for the construction equipment industry. The sales decrease was mainly due to lower volume resulting primarily from changes in dealer machine inventory. Dealer-reported machine inventory decreased in the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and increased in the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Throughout 2013 dealers have been utilizing inventory from our product distribution centers at a higher rate to meet end-user demand. Continued reductions in dealer machine inventory are expected during the fourth quarter of 2013.

The impact of currency was unfavorable to sales, primarily from a weaker Japanese yen, as sales in yen translated into fewer U.S. dollars. Most of the $88 million unfavorable impact from price realization was due to sales from a large government order in Brazil. We expect continuing machine sales in 2014 pursuant to an additional government order in Brazil, although not to the same extent as the current order. In addition, there was an unfavorable impact on price realization from an increasingly competitive pricing environment, which we expect to continue. The increasingly competitive pricing environment is attributable to a number of factors including excess industry capacity caused by weaker than expected economic conditions. Sales of new equipment declined, and sales of aftermarket parts were about flat.

Sales declined in EAME, Asia/Pacific and North America and were about flat in Latin America. The lower sales in EAME were primarily due to changes in dealer inventory, and construction activity in Europe remains low as economic weakness continues.

Table of Contents

In Asia/Pacific, higher sales in China were more than offset by negative currency impacts primarily from the weaker Japanese yen and lower sales in other countries due to slower economic growth. We believe higher sales in China, particularly with respect to hydraulic excavators, were due primarily to an increase in our competitive position through building out the Caterpillar business model. In North America, lower sales were due to changes in dealer inventories, partially offset by increased dealer deliveries to end users. The increase in end-user demand resulted primarily from construction-related spending in the United States. Although still below prior peaks, the housing industry has improved, and many state and local government budgets are showing signs of improvement which we expect to favorably impact construction spending.

Construction Industries' profit was $863 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with $1.763 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease in profit was primarily due to lower sales volume, including an unfavorable mix of products, increased manufacturing costs and unfavorable price realization. The unfavorable mix of products is primarily attributable to relatively higher sales of small and mid-size machines which generally have lower margins than larger size machines which are also sold into mining applications. Higher manufacturing costs were driven primarily by unfavorable changes in cost absorption resulting from a decrease in inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and an increase in inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, partially offset by lower material costs.

Resource Industries

Resource Industries' sales were $10.251 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $5.131 billion, or 33 percent, from the nine months ended September 30, 2012, almost all from lower sales volume. Although production of most mined commodities is near or above a year ago, after several years of increasing capital expenditures, mining customers in all geographic regions have reduced spending across the mining industry. As a result, we believe that mining companies are increasing productivity at existing mines rather than investing in expansions or new mine openings which results in lower demand for our mining products. As a result, end-user demand was lower, and new orders for mining equipment continued to be weak during the first nine months of 2013. The decline in sales volume was primarily due to changes in dealer machine inventory and lower deliveries to end users. While dealer deliveries to end users have declined, we believe sales of our equipment are doing better than the equipment industry overall. Sales decreased in every region of the world. The most significant decline was in Asia/Pacific, where nearly half of the worldwide dealer inventory impacts occurred.

Dealers reduced machine inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to better align their inventory levels with expected demand. This compares with an increase in dealer machine inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Continued reductions in dealer machine inventory are expected during the fourth quarter of 2013.

Almost all of the sales decline was related to new equipment. Aftermarket part sales also declined as some companies are delaying maintenance and rebuild activities.

Resource Industries' profit was $1.436 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with $3.707 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of lower sales volume, the unfavorable impact of acquisitions and divestitures and increased manufacturing costs, partially offset by lower SG&A and R&D expenses.

Acquisitions and divestitures negatively impacted profit by $109 million. The nine months ended September 30, 2012 included substantial pre-tax gains on the sale of portions of the Bucyrus distribution business, while the impact on the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was negative. The $135 million favorable impact from the settlement with the previous owners of our Siwei acquisition was partially offset by other operating losses at Siwei.

The increase in manufacturing costs was primarily driven by unfavorable changes in cost absorption resulting from a decrease in inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and an increase in inventory during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. This increase was partially offset by lower material costs.

Decreases in SG&A and R&D expenses were driven by cost-reduction measures implemented in response to lower volumes.

Power Systems

Power Systems' sales were $14.590 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $1.225 billion, or 8 percent, compared with the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease was primarily the result of lower volume, primarily for electric power, petroleum and rail applications, partially offset by higher price realization.

Sales declines in electric power applications were primarily driven by dealers reducing their inventory levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared with dealers increasing inventory levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

The decline in petroleum application sales was due to the impact of changes in dealer inventory and decreases in dealer deliveries to end users. The decrease in dealer deliveries to end users for petroleum applications was primarily for drilling and well servicing due to an oversupply of equipment.

Table of Contents

Turbine-related sales, which are sold directly to end users and are not affected by dealer inventory, were slightly higher primarily for petroleum production and gas compression applications due to continued strong demand for oil and natural gas.

Decreases in rail were driven by a reduction in services as declines in railway coal traffic resulted in lower maintenance and repair needs partially offset by higher locomotive sales as we continue to implement the Caterpillar business model.

Sales decreased in North America and EAME and were about flat in Latin America and Asia/Pacific. In North America, the sales decrease was primarily due to declines in dealer deliveries to end users with the largest decline in petroleum drilling and well servicing applications, partially offset by higher sales into gas compression applications. Decreases in rail were driven by a reduction in services partially offset by higher locomotive sales. For rail services, declines in railway coal traffic resulted in lower maintenance and repair needs. In addition, changes in dealer inventories were unfavorable for electric power applications as dealers increased inventories in anticipation of higher demand during the first nine months of 2012, and reduced their inventories during the first nine months of 2013.

In EAME, the sales decrease was primarily due to the impact of dealer inventory changes for electric power applications. During the first nine months of 2012, dealers increased inventories in anticipation of higher demand and reduced their inventories during the first nine months of 2013.

Power Systems' profit was $2.436 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 compared with $2.737 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The decrease resulted primarily from lower sales volume, partially offset by decreased costs and favorable price realization. Costs were lower primarily due to lower incentive compensation expense, material costs and program-related costs.

Financial Products Segment

Financial Products’ revenues were $2.408 billion for the first nine months of 2013, an increase of $107 million, or 5 percent, from the first nine months of 2012. The increase was primarily due to the favorable impact from higher average earning assets across all geographic regions and an increase in Cat Insurance revenues, primarily in North America. These increases were partially offset by the unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates on new and existing finance receivables and operating leases across all geographic regions.

Financial Products’ profit was $724 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared with $583 million for the first nine months of 2012. The increase was primarily due to a $97 million favorable impact from lower claims experience at Cat Insurance, which includes favorable reserve adjustments, and an $83 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets. These increases were partially offset by a $24 million unfavorable impact from currency gains and losses.

All Other Segment

All Other Segment includes groups that provide services such as component manufacturing, remanufacturing and logistics.

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $1.628 billion in the nine months ended September 30, 2013, a decrease of $303 million from the nine months ended September 30, 2012. Corporate items and eliminations include: corporate-level expenses; timing differences, as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis; retirement benefit costs other than service cost; currency differences for M&PS, as segment profit is reported using annual fixed exchange rates; and inter-segment eliminations.

The decrease in expense from the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to timing differences.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Sources of funds

We generate significant capital resources from operating activities, which are the primary source of funding for our Machinery and Power Systems' operations. Funding for these businesses is also provided by commercial paper and long-term debt issuances. Financial Products' operations are funded primarily from commercial paper, term debt issuances and collections from the existing portfolio. Throughout the third quarter of 2013, we experienced favorable liquidity conditions globally in both our Machinery and Power Systems and Financial Products' operations. On a consolidated basis, we ended the third quarter of 2013 with $6.36 billion of cash, an increase of $867 million from year-end 2012. Given the uncertainty in the global economy, we intend to maintain a strong cash and liquidity position. Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world with approximately $3.5 billion held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Amounts held outside the United States are available for general corporate use and could be used in the United States without incurring significant additional U.S. taxes.

Consolidated operating cash flow for the first nine months of 2013 was $7.61 billion, up from $3.22 billion for the same period a year ago. The increase was primarily due to changes in inventory. In the first nine months of 2013, inventory decreased significantly, whereas during the same period of 2012, there was a significant increase in inventory. In mid-2012, as order rates declined, we started lowering production schedules and incoming material purchases from suppliers around the world to bring inventory levels in line with expected demand. While production schedules began to decline in the third quarter of 2012, the most significant impacts on inventory occurred in the fourth quarter of 2012 and continued into 2013. In addition, changes in receivables had a positive impact on operating cash flow in 2013. These favorable items were partially offset by lower profit. See further discussion of operating cash flow under Machinery and Power Systems and Financial Products.

Total debt as of September 30, 2013 was $39.54 billion, a decrease of $606 million from year-end 2012. Debt related to Financial Products increased $458 million, primarily at Cat Financial, reflecting increasing portfolio balances. Debt related to Machinery and Power Systems decreased $1.06 billion from year-end 2012, primarily due to payments on matured long-term debt.

We have three global credit facilities with a syndicate of banks totaling $10.00 billion (Credit Facility) available in the aggregate to both Caterpillar and Cat Financial for general liquidity purposes. Based on management's allocation decision, which can be revised from time to time, the portion of the Credit Facility available to Machinery and Power Systems as of September 30, 2013 was $2.75 billion.

Table of Contents


•	In September 2013, we renewed the 364-day facility. The 364-day facility of $3.00 billion (of which $0.82 billion is available to Machinery and Power Systems) now expires in September 2014.


•	In September 2013, we amended and extended the 2010 four-year facility. The 2010 four-year facility, as amended, of $2.60 billion (of which $0.72 billion is available to Machinery and Power Systems) now expires in September 2016.


•	In September 2013, we amended and extended the 2011 five-year facility. The 2011 five-year facility, as amended, of $4.40 billion (of which $1.21 billion is available to Machinery and Power Systems) now expires in September 2018.

At September 30, 2013, Caterpillar's consolidated net worth was $24.71 billion, which was above the $9.00 billion required under the Credit Facility. The consolidated net worth is defined as the consolidated stockholders' equity including preferred stock but excluding the pension and other postretirement benefits balance within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

At September 30, 2013, Cat Financial's covenant interest coverage ratio was 1.81 to 1. This is above the 1.15 to 1 minimum ratio calculated as (1) profit excluding income taxes, interest expense and net gain/(loss) from interest rate derivatives to (2) interest expense calculated at the end of each calendar quarter for the rolling four quarter period then most recently ended, required by the Credit Facility.

In addition, at September 30, 2013, Cat Financial's covenant leverage ratio was 8.27 to 1. This is below the maximum ratio of debt to net worth of 10 to 1, calculated (1) on a monthly basis as the average of the leverage ratios determined on the last day of each of the six preceding calendar months and (2) at each December 31, required by the Credit Facility.

In the event Caterpillar or Cat Financial does not meet one or more of their respective financial covenants under the Credit Facility in the future (and are unable to obtain a consent or waiver), the bank group may terminate the commitments allocated to the party that does not meet its covenants. Additionally, in such event, certain of Cat Financial's other lenders under other loan agreements where similar financial covenants or cross default provisions are applicable, may, at their election, choose to pursue remedies under those loan agreements, including accelerating the repayment of outstanding borrowings. At September 30, 2013, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility.

Our total credit commitments as of September 30, 2013 were:



	September 30, 2013

Other consolidated credit lines with banks as of September 30, 2013 totaled $5.03 billion. These committed and uncommitted credit lines, which may be eligible for renewal at various future dates or have no specified expiration date, are used primarily by our subsidiaries for local funding requirements. Caterpillar or Cat Financial may guarantee subsidiary borrowings under these lines.

In the event that Caterpillar or Cat Financial, or any of their debt securities, experiences a credit rating downgrade, it would likely result in an increase in our borrowing costs and make access to certain credit markets more difficult. In the event economic conditions deteriorate such that access to debt markets becomes unavailable, our Machinery and Power Systems' operations would rely on cash flow from operations, use of existing cash balances, borrowings from Cat Financial and access to our Credit Facility. Our Financial Products' operations would rely on cash flow from its existing portfolio, utilization of existing cash balances, access to our Credit Facility and other credit line facilities of Cat Financial and potential borrowings from Caterpillar. In addition, we maintain a support agreement with Cat Financial, which requires Caterpillar to remain the sole owner of Cat Financial and which may, under certain circumstances, require Caterpillar to make payments to Cat Financial should Cat Financial fail to maintain certain financial ratios.

Machinery and Power Systems

Net cash provided by operating activities was $6.25 billion in the first nine months of 2013, compared with $2.51 billion for the same period in 2012. The increase was primarily due to changes in inventory. In the first nine months of 2013, inventory decreased significantly, whereas during the same period of 2012, there was a significant increase in inventory. In mid-2012, as order rates declined, we started lowering production schedules and incoming material purchases from suppliers around the world to bring inventory levels in line with expected demand. While production schedules began to decline in the third quarter of 2012, the most significant impacts on inventory occurred in the fourth quarter of 2012 and continued into 2013. In addition, changes in receivables and payables had a positive impact on operating cash flow. These favorable items were partially offset by lower profit and customer advances.

Net cash used for investing activities in the first nine months of 2013 was $1.81 billion, compared with $1.32 billion for the same period in 2012. The change was primarily due to the absence of the cash proceeds received from the sale of a majority interest in our third party logistics business during the third quarter of 2012. In addition, cash proceeds from the sale of portions of the Bucyrus distribution business were lower during the first nine months of 2013 as compared with the same period a year ago. Partially offsetting these items were lower capital expenditures and lower cash paid for investments and acquisitions. During 2013 capital expenditures were reduced in response to lower sales and revenues. Cash paid for investments and acquisitions was higher in 2012 primarily due to the acquisition of Siwei.

Net cash used for financing activities in the first nine months of 2013 was $3.62 billion, compared with net cash provided by financing activities of $371 million in the first nine months of 2012. The change was primarily due to the repurchase of $2 billion of stock as well as the net payment of long-term debt in the first nine months of 2013 as compared with the net issuance of long-term debt in the first nine months of 2012.

Our priorities for the use of cash are maintaining a strong financial position that helps maintain our credit rating, providing capital to support growth, appropriately funding employee benefit plans, paying dividends and repurchasing common stock with excess cash.

Strong financial position – A key measure of Machinery and Power Systems' financial strength used by both management and our credit rating agencies is Machinery and Power Systems' debt-to-capital ratio. Debt-to-capital is defined as short-term borrowings, long-term debt due within one year and long-term debt due after one year (debt) divided by the sum of debt and stockholders' equity. Debt also includes Machinery and Power Systems borrowings from Financial Products. The debt-to-capital ratio for Machinery and Power Systems was 34.1 percent at September 30, 2013, within our target range of 30 to 45 percent, and represents a substantial improvement over the past five years from the 57.5 percent debt-to-capital ratio at the end of 2008. The Machinery and Power Systems' debt-to-capital ratio was 37.4 percent at December 31, 2012. Payments on debt during the first nine months of 2013 were the primary contributor to the reduction in the debt-to-capital ratio.

Capital to support growth – Capital expenditures were $1.9 billion during the first nine months of 2013, compared to $2.32 billion for the same period in 2012. The reduction in capital expenditures was in response to lower sales and revenues. We expect capital expenditures for 2013 to be less than $3 billion.

Appropriately funded employee benefit plans – We made $398 million of contributions to our pension plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. We currently anticipate full-year 2013 contributions of approximately $500 million, all of which are required. We made $488 million of contributions to our pension plans during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Paying dividends – Dividends paid totaled $730 million in the second and third quarters of 2013, representing 52 cents per share paid in the second quarter and 60 cents per share in the third quarter. During the first quarter of 2013, there was no dividend payment, as it was accelerated into the fourth quarter of 2012. Each quarter, our Board of Directors reviews the company's dividend for the applicable quarter. The Board evaluates the financial condition of the company and considers the economic outlook, corporate cash flow, the company's liquidity needs and the health and stability of global credit markets to determine whether to maintain or change the quarterly dividend.

Common stock repurchases – In February 2007, the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of $7.5 billion of Caterpillar stock, and in December 2011, the authorization was extended through December 2015. We repurchased $1 billion in stock in both the second and third quarters of 2013. Through the end of the third quarter of 2013, we have repurchased $5.8 billion of Caterpillar stock, leaving $1.7 billion in the authorization. With our M&PS debt-to-capital ratio well within our target range and strong cash flow, there is potential to complete the remaining $1.7 billion of the authorization before it expires at the end of 2015. Basic shares outstanding as of September 30, 2013 were 636 million.

Financial Products

Financial Products' operating cash flow was $919 million in the first nine months of 2013, compared with $854 million for the same period a year ago. Net cash used for investing activities was $1.64 billion for the first nine months of 2013, compared with $3.12 billion for the same period in 2012. The change was primarily due to less net cash used for finance receivables due to slower growth in Cat Financial's portfolio. Net cash provided by financing activities was $803 million for the first nine months of 2013, compared with $3.46 billion for the same period in 2012. The change was primarily due to lower debt issuances needed to maintain Cat Financial's desired cash position and lower funding requirements for investing activities.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The more significant estimates include: residual values for leased assets, fair values for goodwill impairment tests, impairment of available-for-sale securities, warranty liability, stock-based compensation, reserves for product liability and insurance losses, postretirement benefits, post-sale discounts, credit losses and income taxes. We have incorporated many years of data into the determination of each of these estimates and we have not historically experienced significant adjustments. These assumptions are reviewed at least annually with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Following are the methods and assumptions used in determining our estimates and an indication of the risks inherent in each.

Residual values for leased assets – The residual values for Cat Financial’s leased assets, which are based upon the estimated wholesale market value of leased equipment at the time of the expiration of the lease, are based on a careful analysis of historical wholesale market sales prices, projected forward on a level trend line without consideration for inflation or possible future pricing action. At the inception of the lease, residual values are derived from consideration of the following critical factors: market size and demand, any known significant market/product trends, total expected hours of usage, machine configuration, application, location, model changes, quantities and past re-marketing experience, third-party residual guarantees and contractual customer purchase options. Many of these factors are gathered in an application survey that is completed prior to quotation. The lease agreement also clearly defines applicable return conditions and remedies for non-compliance, to ensure that the leased equipment will be in good operating condition upon return. Model changes and updates, as well as market strength and product acceptance, are monitored and adjustments are made to residual values in accordance with the significance of any such changes. Remarketing sales staff works closely with customers and dealers to manage the sale of lease returns and the recovery of residual exposure.

During the term of the leases, residual amounts are monitored. If estimated market values reflect a non-temporary impairment due to economic factors, obsolescence or other adverse circumstances, the residuals are adjusted to the lower estimated values by a charge to earnings. For equipment on operating leases, the charge is recognized through depreciation expense. For finance leases, it is recognized through a reduction of finance revenue.

Fair values for goodwill impairment tests – We test goodwill for impairment annually, at the reporting unit level, and whenever events or circumstances make it likely that an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to sell all or a portion of a reporting unit. We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitor for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis.

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment utilizing a qualitative assessment or a two-step process. We have an option to make a qualitative assessment of a reporting unit's goodwill for impairment. If we choose to perform a qualitative assessment and determine the fair value more likely than not exceeds the carrying value, no further evaluation is necessary. For reporting units where we perform the two-step process, the first step requires us to compare the fair value of each reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, there is an indication that an impairment may exist and the second step is required. In step two, the implied fair value of goodwill is calculated as the excess of the fair value of a reporting unit over the fair values assigned to its assets and liabilities. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit's goodwill, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.

The impairment test process requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on a discounted five year forecasted cash flow with a year-five residual value. The residual value is computed using the constant growth method, which values the forecasted cash flows in perpetuity. The income approach is supported by a reconciliation of our calculated fair value for Caterpillar to the company's market capitalization. The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on each reporting unit's long-term forecast and are subject to review and approval by senior

management. The discount rate is a risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital, which we believe approximates the rate from a market participant's perspective. The estimated fair value could be impacted by changes in market conditions, interest rates, growth rates, tax rates, costs, pricing and capital expenditures.

A prolonged economic downturn resulting in lower long-term growth rates and reduced long-term profitability may reduce the fair value of our reporting units. Industry specific events or circumstances that have a negative impact to the valuation assumptions may also reduce the fair value of our reporting units. Should such events occur and it becomes more likely than not that a reporting unit's fair value has fallen below its carrying value, we will perform an interim goodwill impairment test(s), in addition to the annual impairment test. Future impairment tests may result in a goodwill impairment, depending on the outcome of both step one and step two of the impairment review process. A goodwill impairment would be reported as a non-cash charge to earnings.

Impairment of available-for-sale securities – Available-for-sale securities, primarily at Cat Insurance, are reviewed at least quarterly to identify fair values below cost which may indicate that a security is impaired and should be written down to fair value.

For debt securities, once a security’s fair value is below cost we utilize data gathered by investment managers, external sources and internal research to monitor the performance of the security to determine whether an other-than-temporary impairment has occurred. These reviews, which include an analysis of whether it is more likely than not that we will be required to sell the security before its anticipated recovery, consist of both quantitative and qualitative analysis and require a degree of management judgment. Securities in a loss position are monitored and assessed at least quarterly based on severity and timing of loss and may be deemed other-than-temporarily impaired at any time. Once a security’s fair value has been 20 percent or more below its original cost for six consecutive months, the security will be other-than-temporarily impaired unless there are sufficient facts and circumstances supporting otherwise.

For equity securities in a loss position, determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired requires an analysis of that security's historical sector return as well as the volatility of that return. This information is utilized to estimate a security’s future fair value and to assess whether the security has the ability to recover to its original cost over a reasonable period of time. Both historical annualized sector returns and the volatility of those returns are considered over a two year period to arrive at these estimates.

For both debt and equity securities, qualitative factors are also considered in determining whether a security is other-than-temporarily impaired. These include reviews of the following: significant changes in the regulatory, economic or technological environment of the investee, significant changes in the general market condition of either the geographic area or the industry in which the investee operates, and length of time and the extent to which the fair value has been less than cost. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.

Warranty liability – At the time a sale is recognized, we record estimated future warranty costs. The warranty liability is determined by applying historical claim rate experience to the current field population and dealer inventory. Generally, historical claim rates are based on actual warranty experience for each product by machine model/engine size by customer or dealer location (inside or outside North America). Specific rates are developed for each product shipment month and are updated monthly based on actual warranty claim experience. Warranty costs may differ from those estimated if actual claim rates are higher or lower than our historical rates.

Stock-based compensation – We use a lattice-based option-pricing model to calculate the fair value of our stock options and SARs. The calculation of the fair value of the awards using the lattice-based option-pricing model is affected by our stock price on the date of grant as well as assumptions regarding the following:

•

Volatility is a measure of the amount by which the stock price is expected to fluctuate each year during the expected term of the award and is based on historical Caterpillar stock price movement and current implied volatilities from traded options on Caterpillar stock. The implied volatilities from traded options are impacted by changes in market conditions. An increase in the volatility would result in an increase in our expense.

•

The expected term represents the period of time that awards granted are expected to be outstanding and is an output of the lattice-based option-pricing model. In determining the expected term of the award, future exercise and forfeiture patterns are estimated from Caterpillar employee historical exercise behavior. These patterns are also affected by the vesting conditions of the award. Changes in the future exercise behavior of employees or in the vesting period of the award could result in a change in the expected term. An increase in the expected term would result in an increase to our expense.


•	The weighted-average dividend yield is based on Caterpillar’s historical dividend yields. As holders of stock-based awards do not receive dividend payments, this could result in employees retaining the award for a longer period of time

Table of Contents

if dividend yields decrease or exercising the award sooner if dividend yields increase. A decrease in the dividend yield would result in an increase in our expense.


•	The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at time of grant. As the risk-free interest rate increases, the expected term increases, resulting in an increase in our expense.

The fair value of our RSUs is determined by reducing the stock price on the date of grant by the present value of the estimated dividends to be paid during the vesting period. The estimated dividends are based on Caterpillar’s weighted-average dividend yields. A decrease in the dividend yield would result in an increase in our expense.

Stock-based compensation expense recognized during the period is based on the value of the number of awards that are expected to vest. In determining the stock-based compensation expense to be recognized, a forfeiture rate is applied to the fair value of the award. This rate represents the number of awards that are expected to be forfeited prior to vesting and is based on Caterpillar employee historical behavior. Changes in the future behavior of employees could impact this rate. A decrease in this rate would result in an increase in our expense.

Product liability and insurance loss reserve – We determine these reserves based upon reported claims in process of settlement and actuarial estimates for losses incurred but not reported. Loss reserves, including incurred but not reported reserves, are based on estimates and ultimate settlements may vary significantly from such estimates due to increased claims frequency or severity over historical levels.

Postretirement benefits – Primary actuarial assumptions were determined as follows:

•

The U.S. expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is based on our estimate of long-term passive returns for equities and fixed income securities weighted by the allocation of our plan assets. Based on historical performance, we increase the passive returns due to our active management of the plan assets. A similar process is used to determine the rate for our non-U.S. pension plans. This rate is impacted by changes in general market conditions, but because it represents a long-term rate, it is not significantly impacted by short-term market swings. Changes in our allocation of plan assets would also impact this rate. For example, a shift to more fixed income securities would lower the rate. A decrease in the rate would increase our expense.

•

The assumed discount rate is used to discount future benefit obligations back to today’s dollars. The U.S. discount rate is based on a benefit cash flow-matching approach and represents the rate at which our benefit obligations could effectively be settled as of our measurement date, December 31. The benefit cash flow-matching approach involves analyzing Caterpillar’s projected cash flows against a high quality bond yield curve, calculated using a wide population of corporate Aa bonds available on the measurement date. The very highest and lowest yielding bonds (top and bottom 10 percent) are excluded from the analysis. A similar approach is used to determine the assumed discount rate for our most significant non-U.S. plans. This rate is sensitive to changes in interest rates. A decrease in the discount rate would increase our obligation and future expense.


•	The expected rate of compensation increase is used to develop benefit obligations using projected pay at retirement. It represents average long-term salary increases. This rate is influenced by our long-term compensation policies. An increase in the rate would increase our obligation and expense.

•

The assumed health care trend rate represents the rate at which health care costs are assumed to increase and is based on historical and expected experience. Changes in our projections of future health care costs due to general economic conditions and those specific to health care (e.g., technology driven cost changes) will impact this trend rate. An increase in the trend rate would increase our obligation and expense.

Post-sale discount reserve – We provide discounts to dealers through merchandising programs. We have numerous programs that are designed to promote the sale of our products. The most common dealer programs provide a discount when the dealer sells a product to a targeted end user. The amount of accrued post-sale discounts was $1.07 billion as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The reserve represents discounts that we expect to pay on previously sold units and is reviewed at least quarterly. The reserve is adjusted if discounts paid differ from those estimated. Historically, those adjustments have not been material.

Credit loss reserve – Management's ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses considers both impaired and unimpaired finance receivables and takes into consideration past loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower's ability to repay, estimated value of underlying collateral and current economic conditions. In estimating probable credit losses, we review accounts that are past due, non-performing, in bankruptcy or otherwise identified as at risk for potential credit loss including accounts which have been modified. Accounts are identified as at risk for

Table of Contents

potential credit loss using information available about the customer, such as financial statements, news reports and published credit ratings, as well as general information regarding industry trends and the economic environment in which our customers operate.

The allowance for credit losses attributable to specific accounts is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the liquidation of collateral. In determining collateral value, we estimate the current fair market value of the collateral. In addition, consideration is given to credit enhancements such as additional collateral and contractual third-party guarantees in determining the allowance for credit losses attributable to non-performing receivables. The allowance for credit losses attributable to the remaining accounts is a general allowance based upon the risk in the portfolio, primarily using probabilities of default and an estimate of associated losses. In addition, qualitative factors not able to be fully captured in previous analysis including industry trends, macroeconomic factors and model imprecision are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.

While management believes it has exercised prudent judgment and applied reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that in the future, changes in economic conditions or other factors would not cause changes in the financial health of our customers. If the financial health of our customer deteriorates, the timing and level of payments received could be impacted and therefore, could result in a change to our estimated losses.

Income tax reserve – We are subject to the income tax laws of the many jurisdictions in which we operate. These tax laws are complex, and the manner in which they apply to our facts is sometimes open to interpretation. In establishing the provision for income taxes, we must make judgments about the application of these inherently complex tax laws.

Despite our belief that our tax return positions are consistent with applicable tax laws, we believe that taxing authorities could challenge certain positions. Settlement of any challenge can result in no change, a complete disallowance, or some partial adjustment reached through negotiations or litigation. We record tax benefits for uncertain tax positions based upon management’s evaluation of the information available at the reporting date. To be recognized in the financial statements, a tax benefit must be at least more likely than not of being sustained based on technical merits. The benefit for positions meeting the recognition threshold is measured as the largest benefit more likely than not of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority that has full knowledge of all relevant information. Significant judgment is required in making these determinations and adjustments to unrecognized tax benefits may be necessary to reflect actual taxes payable upon settlement. Adjustments related to positions impacting the effective tax rate affect the provision for income taxes. Adjustments related to positions impacting the timing of deductions impact deferred tax assets and liabilities.

Our income tax positions and analysis are based on currently enacted tax law. Future changes in tax law could significantly impact the provision for income taxes, the amount of taxes payable, and the deferred tax asset and liability balances. Deferred tax assets generally represent tax benefits for tax deductions or credits available in future tax returns. Certain estimates and assumptions are required to determine whether it is more likely than not that all or some portion of the benefit of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. In making this assessment, management analyzes and estimates the impact of future taxable income, reversing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Should a change in facts or circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the ultimate realizability of a deferred tax asset, we record or adjust the related valuation allowance in the period that the change in facts and circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding increase or decrease in the provision for income taxes.

A provision for U.S. income taxes has not been recorded on undistributed profits of our non-U.S. subsidiaries that we have determined to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. If management intentions or U.S. tax law changes in the future, there may be a significant negative impact on the provision for income taxes to record an incremental tax liability in the period the change occurs. A deferred tax asset is recognized only if we have definite plans to generate a U.S. tax benefit by repatriating earnings in the foreseeable future.

GLOBAL WORKFORCE

Caterpillar worldwide full-time employment was 121,506 at the end of the third quarter of 2013 compared with 129,113 at the end of the third quarter of 2012, a decrease of 7,607 full-time employees. The flexible workforce decreased 6,054 for a total decrease in the global workforce of 13,661.

The decrease was primarily the result of lower production volume.

Retirement Benefits

We recognized pension expense of $207 million and $560 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $180 million and $542 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The increase in expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, is primarily due to higher amortization of net actuarial losses primarily due to lower discount rates at the end of 2012 and a $31 million charge to recognize a previously unrecorded liability related to a subsidiary's pension plans. The increase in expense was partially offset by lower interest costs, higher expected return on plan assets due to higher asset levels, $10 million of special termination benefits related to the closure of the Electro-Motive Diesel facility (discussed below) recognized in the first quarter 2012 and $7 million of curtailment expense due to changes in our hourly U.S. pension plan (discussed below) and $6 million of settlement losses due to the disposal of the third party logistics business recognized in the third quarter 2012. Accounting guidance on retirement benefits requires companies to discount future benefit obligations back to today's dollars using a discount rate that is based on high-quality fixed-income investments. A decrease in the discount rate increases the pension benefit obligation, while an increase in the discount rate decreases the pension benefit obligation. This increase or decrease in the pension benefit obligation is recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently amortized into earnings as an actuarial gain or loss. The guidance also requires companies to use an expected long-term rate of return on plan assets for computing current year pension expense. Differences between the actual and expected returns are also recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently amortized into earnings as actuarial gains and losses. As of September 30, 2013, total actuarial losses, recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive

Table of Contents

income (loss), related to pensions were $8.65 billion. The majority of the actuarial losses are due to lower discount rates, plan asset losses and losses from other demographic and economic assumptions over the past several years.

Other postretirement benefit expense was $68 million and $211 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, respectively, as compared to $71 million and $174 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. The increase in expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2013, was primarily the result of $40 million of curtailment gains recognized in the first quarter 2012, of which $37 million is related to the closure of the Electro-Motive Diesel facility discussed below. Actuarial losses that were recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) for other postretirement benefit plans were $1.45 billion at September 30, 2013. These losses reflect several years of declining discount rates, changes in our health care trend assumption and plan asset losses, partially offset by gains from lower than expected health care costs.

Actuarial losses for both pensions and other postretirement benefits will be impacted in future periods by actual asset returns, actual health care inflation, discount rate changes, actual demographic experience and other factors that impact these expenses. These losses, reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), will generally be amortized as a component of net periodic benefit cost on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active employees expected to receive benefits under the plans. For pension plans in which all or almost all of the plan's participants are inactive and other postretirement benefit plans in which all or almost all of the plan's participants are fully eligible for benefits under the plan, prior service cost (credit) and net actuarial loss (gain) are amortized using the straight-line method over the remaining life expectancy of those participants. At the end of 2012, the average remaining service period of active employees or life expectancy for fully eligible or inactive participants was 11 years for our U.S. and non-U.S. pension plans and 10 years for other postretirement benefit plans. We expect our total amortization of net actuarial losses to increase approximately $90 million in 2013 as compared to 2012, primarily due to a decrease in discount rates during 2012 and plan asset losses during 2011, partially offset by higher amortization of plan asset gains from 2010 and 2012.

In August 2012, we announced changes to our U.S. hourly pension plan, which impacted certain hourly employees. For the impacted employees, pension benefit accruals were frozen on January 1, 2013 or will freeze on January 1, 2016, at which time employees will become eligible for various provisions of company sponsored 401(k) plans including a matching contribution and an annual employer contribution. The plan changes resulted in a curtailment and required a remeasurement as of August 31, 2012. The curtailment and the remeasurement resulted in a net increase in our Liability for postemployment benefits of $243 million and a net loss of $153 million, net of tax, recognized in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). The increase in the liability was primarily due to a decline in the discount rate. Also, the curtailment resulted in expense of $7 million which was recognized in Other operating (income) expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Accounting guidance requires recognition of the overfunded or underfunded status of pension and other postretirement benefit plans on the balance sheet. Based on September 30, 2013 discount rates (approximately 4.6 percent for our U.S. plans) which are higher than the discount rates used at December 31, 2012, we would be required to recognize a decrease in our underfunded status of approximately $2.6 billion at December 31, 2013. This would result in a decrease in our Liability for postemployment benefits of approximately $2.6 billion and an increase in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) of approximately $1.7 billion, net of tax. It is difficult to predict the adjustment amount, as it is dependent on several factors including the discount rate, actual returns on plan assets and other actuarial assumptions. Final determination will only be known on the measurement date, which is December 31, 2013.

Order Backlog

The dollar amount of backlog believed to be firm was approximately $19.1 billion at September 30, 2013 and June 30, 2013. Continuing decreases for Resource Industries were offset by increases for Construction Industries. Compared to the end of the third quarter of 2012, the order backlog declined significantly, primarily due to a substantial reduction in mining-related products within Resource Industries. This decline was partially offset by an increase for Construction Industries. The dollar amount of backlog believed to be firm was approximately $20.2 billion at December 31, 2012. Of the total backlog, approximately $3.9 billion at September 30, 2013, $4.0 billion at June 30, 2013, and $4.5 billion at December 31, 2012 was not expected to be filled in the following twelve months.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following definitions are provided for “non-GAAP financial measures” in connection with Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or substituted for the related GAAP measures.

Supplemental Consolidating Data

We are providing supplemental consolidating data for the purpose of additional analysis. The data has been grouped as follows:

Consolidated – Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries.

Machinery and Power Systems – Caterpillar defines Machinery and Power Systems as it is presented in the supplemental data as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries with Financial Products accounted for on the equity basis. Machinery and Power Systems information relates to the design, manufacture and marketing of our products. Financial Products information relates to the financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment. The nature of these businesses is different especially with regard to the financial position and cash flow items. Caterpillar management utilizes this presentation internally to highlight these differences. We also believe this presentation will assist readers in understanding our business.

Financial Products – Our finance and insurance subsidiaries, primarily Cat Financial and Cat Insurance.

Consolidating Adjustments – Eliminations of transactions between Machinery and Power Systems and Financial Products.

Non-U.S. Employee Stock Purchase Plans

We have 28 employee stock purchase plans administered outside the United States for our non-U.S. employees. As of September 30, 2013, those plans had approximately 14,500 active participants in the aggregate. During the third quarter of 2013, approximately 268,000 shares of Caterpillar common stock or foreign denominated equivalents were distributed under the plans. Participants in some foreign plans have the option of receiving non-U.S. share certificates (foreign-denominated equivalents) in lieu of U.S. shares of Caterpillar common stock upon withdrawal from the plan. These equivalent certificates are tradable only on the local stock market and are included in our determination of shares outstanding.

Distributions of Caterpillar stock under the plans are exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 (Act) pursuant to 17 CFR 230.903.
