DEERFIELD, Ill. - Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) today announced second-quarter 2021 sales and revenues of USD12.9 billion, a 29% increase compared with USD10.0 billion in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume driven by higher end-user demand for equipment and services and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers decreased their inventories more during the second quarter of 2020 than during the second quarter of 2021.

Operating profit margin was 13.9% for the second quarter of 2021, compared with 7.8% for the second quarter of 2020. Second-quarter 2021 profit per share was USD2.56, compared with USD0.84 profit per share in the second quarter of 2020. Adjusted profit per share in the second quarter of 2021 was USD2.60, compared with second-quarter 2020 adjusted profit per share of USD1.27. Adjusted profit per share for both quarters excluded restructuring costs, while the second quarter of 2020 also excluded remeasurement losses of USD0.19 per share, resulting from the settlements of pension obligations. Please see a reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures in the appendix on page 13.

For the first half of 2021, enterprise operating cash flow was USD4.0 billion. In total, the company returned USD0.8 billion to shareholders in the quarter, after increasing the dividend and reinstating share repurchases. The company ended the period with USD10.8 billion of enterprise cash.

"Our dedicated global team remains focused on serving our customers, executing our strategy and investing for future profitable growth," said Caterpillar Chairman and CEO Jim Umpleby. "We're encouraged by higher sales and revenues across all regions and in our three primary segments, which reflect continued improvement in our end markets."

Consolidated Operating Profit

DJ Caterpillar Inc.: Files Form 8-K Earnings Release -2-

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated operating profit between the second quarter of 2020 (at left) and the second quarter of 2021 (at right). Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company's Board of Directors and employees. The bar titled Other includes consolidating adjustments and Machinery, Energy & Transportation's other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2021 was USD1.789 billion, an increase of USD1.005 billion, or 128%, compared with USD784 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume. Favorable price realization, lower restructuring expenses (included in other) and higher profit from Financial Products were mostly offset by higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses and higher manufacturing costs.

The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was mainly driven by higher short-term incentive compensation expense, which was reinstated in 2021.

Unfavorable manufacturing costs reflected higher period manufacturing and material costs, partially offset by favorable cost absorption. Period manufacturing costs increased primarily due to higher short-term incentive compensation expense and higher labor-related costs. Cost absorption was favorable as inventory increased during the second quarter of 2021, compared with a decrease during the second quarter of 2020.

Other Profit/Loss and Tax Items 1. Other income (expense) in the second quarter of 2021 was income of USD201 million, compared with income of USD29

million in the second quarter of 2020. The change was primarily due to the absence of remeasurement losses

resulting from the settlements of pension obligations that occurred in the second quarter of 2020, as well as

favorable pension and other postemployment benefit (OPEB) costs. 2. The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2021 reflected a lower estimated annual tax rate of 26%,

compared with 31% for the second quarter of 2020, excluding the discrete items discussed below. The comparative tax

rate for full-year 2020 was approximately 28%. The decrease in the estimated annual tax rate from full-year 2020

was mainly related to changes in the expected geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective for 2021.

In addition, a discrete tax benefit of USD17 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2021 for the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense. A USD21 million tax benefit was also recorded in the second quarter of 2020 related to the USD122 million of remeasurement losses resulting from the settlements of pension obligations.

Construction Industries' total sales were USD5.656 billion in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of USD1.608 billion, or 40%, compared with USD4.048 billion in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was due to higher sales volume, favorable price realization and favorable currency impacts from the euro, Australian dollar and Chinese yuan. The increase in sales volume was driven by higher end-user demand for equipment and aftermarket parts and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Overall, dealers decreased inventories more during the second quarter of 2020 than during the second quarter of 2021. 1. In North America, sales increased due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization. Higher sales volume

was driven by higher end-user demand primarily in residential construction and the impact from changes in dealer

inventories. Dealers decreased inventories more during the second quarter of 2020 than during the second quarter of

2021. 2. Sales increased in Latin America mostly due to higher sales volume driven by higher end-user demand across the

region for equipment and aftermarket parts and the impact of changes in dealer inventories. Dealers increased

inventories during the second quarter of 2021, compared with a decrease during the second quarter of 2020. 3. In EAME, sales increased due to higher sales volume and favorable currency impacts primarily from a stronger euro.

Higher sales volume was driven by higher end-user demand and the impact from changes in dealer inventories. Dealers

increased inventories during the second quarter of 2021, compared with a decrease during the second quarter of

2020. 4. Sales increased in Asia/Pacific primarily due to favorable currency impacts from a stronger Australian dollar and

Chinese yuan and favorable price realization, partially offset by lower sales volume. Lower sales volume was driven

by lower end-user demand for equipment, primarily in China, partially offset by the impacts from changes in dealer

inventories and higher end-user demand for aftermarket parts. Dealers decreased inventories more during the second

quarter of 2020 than during the second quarter of 2021.

Construction Industries' profit was USD1.024 billion in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of USD506 million, or 98%, compared with USD518 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization, partially offset by higher SG&A/R&D expenses and unfavorable manufacturing costs.

The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was driven by higher short-term incentive compensation expense.

Increased manufacturing costs reflected higher period manufacturing and material costs partially offset by favorable impacts of cost absorption and variable labor and burden. The increase in period manufacturing costs was driven by higher short-term incentive compensation expense and higher labor costs. Cost absorption was favorable as inventory increased during the second quarter of 2021, compared with a decrease during the second quarter of 2020.

The increase was due to higher sales volume driven by higher end-user demand for equipment and aftermarket parts and the impacts of changes in dealer inventories. Dealers decreased inventories during the second quarter of 2020, compared to remaining about flat during the second quarter of 2021. End-user demand was higher in heavy construction and quarry and aggregates; it was also higher in mining, although to a lesser extent.

Resource Industries' profit was USD361 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of USD209 million, or 138%, compared with USD152 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to higher sales volume, partially offset by higher SG&A/R&D expenses. The increase in SG&A/R&D expenses was driven by higher short-term incentive compensation expense.

Energy & Transportation's total sales were USD4.975 billion in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of USD826 million, or 20%, compared with USD4.149 billion in the second quarter of 2020. Sales increased across all applications. 1. Oil and Gas - Sales increased mainly due to higher sales of reciprocating engine aftermarket parts in all regions.

The increase was partially offset by lower sales in reciprocating engines used in well servicing applications and

turbines and turbine-related services. 2. Power Generation - Sales increased due to higher sales volume in large reciprocating engines, primarily driven by

data centers, and reciprocating engine aftermarket parts. 3. Industrial - Sales were up due to higher demand across all regions. 4. Transportation - Sales increased in rail services and marine.

Energy & Transportation's profit was USD731 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of USD107 million, or 17%, compared with USD624 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was due to higher sales volume partially offset by higher SG&A/R&D expenses and period manufacturing costs. Both SG&A/R&D expenses and period manufacturing costs were driven by higher short-term incentive compensation expense and acquisition-related expenses.

Financial Products' segment revenues were USD774 million in the second quarter of 2021, an increase of USD11 million, or 1%, from the second quarter of 2020.

Financial Products' segment profit was USD243 million in the second quarter of 2021, compared with USD148 million in the second quarter of 2020. The increase was mainly due to lower provision for credit losses at Cat Financial, higher net yield on average earning assets and a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment. These favorable impacts were partially offset by an increase in SG&A expenses primarily due to higher short-term incentive compensation expense.

At the end of the second quarter of 2021, past dues at Cat Financial were 2.58%, compared with 3.74% at the end of the second quarter of 2020. Past dues decreased across all portfolio segments as global markets generally improved. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were USD54 million for the second quarter of 2021, compared with USD30 million for the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2021, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled USD402 million, or 1.46% of finance receivables, compared with USD441 million, or 1.64% of finance receivables at March 31, 2021. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2020 was USD479 million, or 1.77% of finance receivables.

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was USD482 million in the second quarter of 2021, a decrease of USD98 million from the second quarter of 2020, primarily due to favorable impacts of segment reporting methodology differences and lower restructuring costs, partially offset by higher expenses due to timing differences.

APPENDIX

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following definitions are provided for the non-GAAP financial measures. 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.

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 (i) restructuring costs, which were incurred to generate longer-term benefits and (ii) remeasurement losses resulting from the settlements of pension obligations in the second quarter of 2020. 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. The company intends to discuss adjusted profit per share for the fourth quarter and full-year 2021, excluding mark-to-market gains or losses for remeasurement of pension and other postemployment benefit plans along with any other discrete items.

Reconciliations of adjusted results to the most directly comparable GAAP measure are as follows:
