Caterpillar Inc. Caterpillar Inc.: Exhibit 99.1 to Form 8-K Earnings Release Dated October 23, 2018 23-Oct-2018 / 23:06 CET/CEST Dissemination of a French Regulatory News, transmitted by EQS Group. The issuer is solely responsible for the content of this announcement. Caterpillar Inc. **************** 3Q 2018 Earnings Release October 23, 2018 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Caterpillar Reports Third-Quarter 2018 Results ********************************************** Record Third-Quarter Profit Per Share Driven by Higher Sales and Strong Operational Performance DEERFIELD, Ill. - Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) today announced third-quarter 2018 sales and revenues of $13.5 billion, compared with $11.4 billion in the third quarter of 2017, an 18 percent increase. Third-quarter 2018 profit per share of $2.88 was a third-quarter record. Profit per share was $1.77 in the third quarter of 2017. Excluding restructuring costs and a net tax benefit to adjust deferred tax balances, adjusted profit per share in the third quarter of 2018 was $2.86, compared with third-quarter 2017 adjusted profit per share of $1.95. During the third quarter of 2018, Machinery, Energy & Transportation (ME&T) operating cash flow was $848 million. In the quarter, the company deployed significant capital, including a discretionary pension contribution of $1.0 billion, the repurchase of $750 million of Caterpillar common stock and a dividend payment of $511 million. The enterprise cash balance at the end of the third quarter of 2018 was $8.0 billion. "This was the best third-quarter profit per share in our company's history," said Caterpillar CEO Jim Umpleby. "Our global team continues to do excellent work focusing on our customers' success and executing our strategy for profitable growth." 2018 Outlook The company's 2018 profit per share outlook is a range of $10.65 to $11.65. The company is maintaining the adjusted profit per share outlook range of $11.00 to $12.00. The current profit per share outlook now includes a net tax benefit of $95 million that was recorded in the third quarter of 2018 to adjust deferred tax balances. The outlook for adjusted profit per share excludes restructuring costs of about $400 million and the net tax benefit. Most end markets continue to improve. Order rates and backlog remain healthy. In the fourth quarter, price realization, operational excellence and cost discipline are expected to more than offset higher material and freight costs, including tariffs. The outlook does not include a mark-to-market gain or loss for remeasurement of pension and other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans and any additional changes to provisional estimates recorded in 2017 for U.S. tax reform.

Machinery, Energy & Transportation other operating (income) expenses.
Operating profit for the third quarter of 2018 was $2.135 billion, compared to $1.509 billion in the third quarter of 2017. The
increase of $626 million was mostly due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization.
Manufacturing costs were higher due to increased material and freight costs. Material costs were higher primarily due to increases
in steel prices and tariffs. Freight costs were unfavorable primarily due to supply chain inefficiencies as the industry continues
to respond to strong global demand. Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses
increased primarily due to investments aligned with the company's strategic growth initiatives.
Other Profit/Loss Items
- Other income/expense in the third quarter of 2018 was income of $102 million, compared with income of $132 million in the third
quarter of 2017. The unfavorable change was primarily a result of higher currency translation and hedging net losses.
- The provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2018 reflected an estimated annual tax rate of 24 percent, compared to
32 percent in the third quarter of 2017, excluding the discrete items discussed in the following paragraph. The decrease was
primarily due to the reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate beginning January 1, 2018, along with other changes in the
geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.
The provision for income taxes in the third quarter of 2018 included a $95 million net benefit to adjust deferred tax balances. In
addition, a discrete tax benefit of $3 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2018, compared to $18 million in the third
quarter of 2017, for the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S.
GAAP compensation expense.
Global Workforce
The global workforce increased about 8,200 from the end of the third quarter of 2017, primarily due to higher production volumes.

Construction Industries' total sales were $5.683 billion in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $4.886 billion in the third
quarter of 2017. The increase was mostly due to higher sales volume for construction equipment.
Sales increased in all regions except Latin America.
? In North America, the sales increase was mostly due to higher demand for new equipment, primarily to support oil and gas
activities, including pipelines, and non-residential building construction activities.
? Construction activities remained weak in Latin America.
? Sales increased in EAME as infrastructure and building construction activities drove higher demand across several countries in
the region.
? Sales in Asia/Pacific were higher across the region, with the most significant impact from improved demand in China, including
an increase in dealer inventories from low levels, stemming from increased non-residential building construction and
infrastructure activities.
Construction Industries' profit was $1.058 billion in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $884 million in the third quarter of
2017. The increase in profit was a result of higher sales volume, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs. Manufacturing
costs were higher primarily due to increased material and freight costs.
Resource Industries' total sales were $2.638 billion in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $682 million from the third
quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher demand for both mining and heavy construction equipment. Commodity market
fundamentals remained positive, contributing to higher mining equipment sales. In addition, increased sales to heavy construction
and quarry and aggregate customers were driven by positive global economic growth. Resource Industries' customers globally continue
to focus on improving the productivity and efficiency of existing machine assets, thereby extending equipment life cycles and
lowering operating costs. Rebuild, overhaul and maintenance activity remains strong, resulting in higher aftermarket parts sales.
Favorable price realization also contributed to the sales improvement.
Resource Industries' profit was $414 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $229 million in the third quarter of 2017.
The improvement was mostly due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization. The increase was partially offset by higher
manufacturing costs, including freight and material costs, and increased SG&A/R&D expenses primarily due to investments aligned
with strategic growth initiatives.
Energy & Transportation's total sales were $5.555 billion in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $4.838 billion in the third
quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume across all applications except Industrial.
? Oil and Gas - Sales increased due to higher demand in North America for well servicing and gas compression applications. Higher
energy prices and growth in U.S. onshore oil and gas drove increased sales for reciprocating engines.
? Power Generation - Sales improved across all regions, with the largest increases in North America and Asia/Pacific primarily
for reciprocating engine applications, including data centers and power plants, and for aftermarket parts.
? Industrial - Sales were lower in EAME primarily due to economic uncertainty in a few countries in the Middle East, partially
offset by slightly higher sales in Asia/Pacific and North America.
? Transportation - Sales were higher primarily due to rail services, driven by acquisitions in Asia/Pacific and EAME, and
increased rail traffic in North America.
Energy & Transportation's profit was $973 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $743 million in the third quarter of
2017. The improvement was mostly due to higher sales volume. The increase was partially offset by higher manufacturing costs,
including freight costs, and increased SG&A/R&D expenses primarily due to investments aligned with strategic growth initiatives.
Financial Products' segment revenues were $845 million in the third quarter of 2018, an increase of $71 million, or 9 percent, from
the third quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher average financing rates and higher average earning assets in
North America and Asia/Pacific as well as a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment. These favorable impacts were
partially offset by lower intercompany lending activity in North America, lower average earning assets in Latin America and lower
average financing rates in Europe.
Financial Products' segment profit was $201 million in the third quarter of 2018, compared with $185 million in the third quarter
of 2017. The increase was primarily due to a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment, higher average earning assets
and an increase in net yield on average earning assets. This was partially offset by an unfavorable impact from available for sale
securities in Insurance Services.
At the end of the third quarter of 2018, past dues at Cat Financial were 3.47 percent, compared with 2.73 percent at the end of the
third quarter of 2017. The increase in past dues was primarily driven by the Cat Power Finance portfolio. Write-offs, net of
recoveries, in the third quarter of 2018 were $40 million, compared with $47 million in the third quarter of 2017.
As of September 30, 2018, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $416 million, or 1.49 percent of finance receivables,
compared with $416 million, or 1.48 percent of finance receivables at June 30, 2018. The allowance for credit losses at December
31, 2017, was $365 million, or 1.33 percent of finance receivables.
Corporate Items and Eliminations
Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $401 million in the third quarter of 2018, a decrease of $58 million from the
third quarter of 2017, primarily due to methodology differences and lower corporate costs. Restructuring costs were $110 million in
the third quarter of 2018, compared to $90 million in the third quarter of 2017.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
*********************
Q1: Can you discuss changes in dealer inventories during the third quarter of 2018?
A: Dealer machine and engine inventories increased about $800 million during the third quarter of 2018, compared to an increase of
about $200 million during the third quarter of 2017. The favorable change impacted sales for the three primary segments about
equally. During the first nine months of 2018, dealer machine and engine inventories increased about $2.1 billion, compared to an
increase of about $100 million during the first nine months of 2017. We believe the increase in dealer inventories is reflective of
current end-user demand.
Q2: Can you discuss changes to your order backlog by segment?
A: At the end of the third quarter of 2018, the order backlog was $17.3 billion, about $400 million lower than the second quarter
of 2018, with decreases across the three primary segments.
The order backlog increased about $1.9 billion from the end of the third quarter of 2017, with increases across the three primary
segments.
Q3: Can you comment on expense related to your 2018 short-term incentive compensation plans and the impact on the 2018 outlook?
A: Short-term incentive compensation expense is directly related to financial and operational performance, measured against targets

set annually. Third-quarter 2018 expense was about $350 million, compared to third-quarter 2017 expense of about $400 million. For the full year of 2018, across the current outlook range, short-term incentive compensation expense is expected to be about $1.4 billion, nearly the same as 2017. Q4: Can you provide more information on the adjustment to deferred tax balances made during the third quarter of 2018? A: The net tax benefit of $95 million includes a $154 million reduction to the provisionally estimated charge recognized during the fourth quarter of 2017 due to the enactment of U.S. tax reform legislation, partially offset by a $59 million adjustment to the valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets for prior years. The $154 million benefit revises the estimated impact of the write-down of U.S. net deferred tax assets to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. This benefit primarily related to the decision to make an additional discretionary pension contribution of $1.0 billion to U.S. pension plans in the third quarter of 2018, treated as deductible on the 2017 U.S. tax return. Q5: What was the impact of recently imposed tariffs on material costs in the third quarter of 2018? A: The impact of recently imposed tariffs was about $40 million in the third quarter of 2018. For the full year of 2018, we expect the impact of recently imposed tariffs will be at the low end of the previously provided range of $100 million to $200 million. Q6: Sales and revenues for the first nine months of 2018 were up 24 percent. Is this significant ramp in demand impacting availability? A: The sharp increase in demand has led to supply chain challenges across the industry. Although the company is making efforts to improve material flows, constraints remain for some parts and components that are impacting lead times and availability. Q7: What price action are you anticipating for 2019? A: In the third quarter of 2018, we notified our dealers of an upcoming price action of 1 to 4 percent worldwide on machines and engines with exceptions on specific products and regions. This price action will be effective in January 2019, and is a result of current industry factors and general economic conditions. Q8: Do you expect to exclude restructuring costs from adjusted profit per share in 2019? A: On September 24, 2015, we announced a significant restructuring program expected to be completed by the end of 2018. Although we expect restructuring to continue as part of ongoing business activities, restructuring costs should decline in 2019, and we do not plan to exclude restructuring costs from adjusted profit per share in 2019.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
***************************
The following definitions are provided for the non-GAAP financial measures used in this report. 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 as a substitute for the
related GAAP measures.
Adjusted Profit Per Share
The company believes it is important to separately quantify the profit impact of two significant items in order for the company's
results to be meaningful to readers. These items consist of restructuring costs, which are incurred in the current year to generate
longer-term benefits, and a net tax benefit to adjust deferred tax balances in the third quarter of 2018. The company does not
consider these items indicative of earnings from ongoing business activities and believes the non-GAAP measure provides investors
with useful perspective on underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing the company's period-over-period results.
Reconciliations of adjusted profit per share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, diluted profit per share, are as
follows:
