Caterpillar Reports Second-Quarter 2016 Results

PEORIA, Ill., July 26, 2016 --

	Second Quarter
($ in billions except profit per share)	2015	2016

Sales and Revenues	$12.317	$10.342
Profit Per Share	$1.31	$0.93
Profit Per Share	$1.40	$1.09
(Excluding Restructuring Costs)

Caterpillar Inc. today announced profit per share of $0.93 for the second quarter of 2016, a decrease from $1.31 per share in the second quarter of 2015. Excluding restructuring costs, profit per share was $1.09, down from $1.40 per share in the second quarter of 2015. Second-quarter 2016 sales and revenues were $10.3 billion, down from $12.3 billion, or 16 percent, in the second quarter of 2015.

"I'm pleased with our financial performance and focus on our long-term strategy given the difficult economic and industry environment we're facing. Our goal when sales decrease is to lower costs so the decline in operating profit is no more than 25 to 30 percent of the decline in sales and revenues. For the quarter, our decremental operating profit pull through was better than our target range. Together with our dealers, we're having success managing through the downturn in industries like mining and oil and gas, and in sluggish economic conditions in much of the developing world. In what is likely to be our fourth down year for sales and revenues, we're proud of what we're accomplishing – our machine market position has increased, including in China, product quality continues to be at high levels, and the safety in our facilities is world class," said Caterpillar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Doug Oberhelman.

2016 Outlook

World economic growth remains subdued and is not sufficient to drive improvement in most of the industries and markets we serve. Commodity prices appear to have stabilized, but at low levels. Global uncertainty continues, and the recent Brexit outcome and the turmoil in Turkey add to risks, especially in Europe.

The outlook for 2016 that we provided with our first-quarter financial results in April expected sales and revenues in a range of $40 to $42 billion. At the midpoint of that range, profit was expected to be $3.00 per share, or $3.70 per share excluding restructuring costs. Over the past quarter, economic risks have persisted and, as a result, our current expectations for 2016 sales and revenues are closer to the bottom end of that outlook range.

Restructuring costs in 2016, which were expected to be about $550 million, are now forecast to be about $700 million, or about $0.80 per share. Additional workforce reductions expected in the second half of 2016 are the primary reason for the increase in restructuring costs. Sales and revenues for 2016 are expected to be in a range of $40.0 to $40.5 billion, and the profit outlook at the midpoint of the sales and revenues range is about $2.75 per share, or about $3.55 per share excluding restructuring costs. Our revised outlook for both sales and revenues and profit per share excluding restructuring costs is in line with the Thompson First Call analyst consensus.

"Despite a solid second quarter, we're cautious as we enter the second half of the year. We're not expecting an upturn in important industries like mining, oil and gas and rail to happen this year. We're continuing significant restructuring plans, which are designed to bring our cost structure more in line with demand while maintaining our capability to quickly serve our customers when our business recovers. Once it does recover, we expect substantial incremental profit improvement, realizing the benefits of the tough actions we're implementing now coupled with our ongoing investments in products and digital capabilities. Amidst these very challenging market conditions, our balance sheet remains strong, and our employees are delivering better performance on everything from safety, quality and cost management to machine market position. I'm inspired by our people as they're the primary reason we're weathering this downturn as successfully as we are," said Oberhelman.

Sales and Revenues

Total sales and revenues were $10.342 billion in the second quarter of 2016, a decline of $1.975 billion, or 16 percent, compared with $12.317 billion in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to lower sales volume resulting from continued weak commodity prices globally and economic weakness in developing countries. While sales for both new equipment and aftermarket parts declined in all segments, most of the decrease was for new equipment. Unfavorable price realization also contributed to the decline.

Sales declined in all regions. In North America, sales decreased 16 percent primarily due to lower end-user demand for construction, continuing declines in mining and the impact of low oil prices. In EAME, sales declined 15 percent primarily in Africa/Middle East due to weak economic conditions resulting from low oil and other commodity prices and an uncertain political environment. Sales decreased 31 percent in Latin America primarily due to continued widespread economic weakness across the region. The most significant decreases were in Brazil and Mexico. Asia/Pacific sales declined 13 percent primarily due to lower end-user demand for Energy & Transportation applications.

Sales decreased in all segments. Energy & Transportation's sales declined 20 percent largely due to lower end-user demand for oil and gas and transportation applications. Resource Industries' sales declined 29 percent mostly due to continued low end-user demand. Construction Industries' sales decreased 8 percent primarily due to unfavorable price realization and lower demand from end users. Financial Products' segment revenues were down 3 percent primarily due to lower average earning assets.

Consolidated Operating Profit

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profit (Loss) between the second quarter of 2015 (at left) and the second quarter of 2016 (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, Energy & Transportation other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2016 was $785 million, compared with $1.333 billion in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease of $548 million was primarily due to lower sales volume, including an unfavorable mix of products. In addition, price realization and restructuring costs were unfavorable. The unfavorable price realization resulted from competitive market conditions and an unfavorable geographic mix of sales. These items were partially offset by significantly lower costs.

Period costs were lower primarily due to substantial restructuring activities and other cost reduction actions over the past year and lower short-term incentive compensation expense. The reductions primarily impacted period manufacturing costs and selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A).

More than half of the improvement in variable manufacturing costs was from lower material costs. In addition, both cost absorption and freight costs were favorable. The impact of cost absorption was due to a more significant inventory decrease in the second quarter of 2015, compared to the second quarter of 2016.

Restructuring costs of $139 million in the second quarter of 2016 were related to several restructuring programs across the company. In the second quarter of 2015, restructuring costs were $86 million.

Other Profit/Loss Items

Other income/expense in the second quarter of 2016 was income of $84 million, compared with expense of $72 million in the second quarter of 2015. The favorable change was primarily due to the net impact from currency translation and hedging gains and losses and a gain on the sale of securities in the second quarter of 2016. The favorable impact from currency translation and hedging was primarily due to the absence of net losses during the second quarter of 2015.

The provision for income taxes in the second quarter reflects an estimated annual tax rate of 25 percent, compared to 29.5 percent for the second quarter of 2015 and 25.5 percent for the full-year 2015 excluding discrete items. The full-year rate for 2015 of 25.5 percent was lower than the second-quarter 2015 rate primarily due to changes in the geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective, along with the impact of the permanent renewal of the U.S. research and development tax credit in the fourth quarter.

Global Workforce

Caterpillar worldwide, full-time employment was about 100,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2016, compared with about 111,200 at the end of the second quarter of 2015, a decrease of about 11,200 full-time employees. The flexible workforce decreased by about 2,700 for a total decrease in the global workforce of about 13,900. The decrease was primarily the result of restructuring programs and lower production volumes.

1 Does not include inter-segment sales of $12 million and $26 million in second quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Construction Industries' sales were $4.426 billion in the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $377 million, or 8 percent, from the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in sales was due to unfavorable price realization and lower volume. While sales declined for both new equipment and aftermarket parts, most of the decrease was for new equipment.

Unfavorable price realization resulted from competitive market conditions globally and an unfavorable geographic mix of sales.
Sales volume declined primarily due to lower end-user demand.

Sales decreased in North America and Latin America while slightly increasing in Asia/Pacific. Sales in EAME were flat.

In North America, the sales decline was primarily due to lower end-user demand. Although residential and nonresidential construction activity is improving, we believe declines in activity related to oil and gas have resulted in the availability of existing equipment to support the increased demand. The decline was also due to unfavorable price realization and the unfavorable impact of dealers decreasing inventories in the second quarter of 2016, compared to flat inventories in the second quarter of 2015.
In Latin America, end-user demand was down across the region, with the most significant declines in Brazil due to the continued recession.
Sales in Asia/Pacific were higher as a result of the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories, which were about flat in the second quarter of 2016 and decreased in the second quarter of 2015.
Sales in EAME were flat. Price realization was unfavorable, and sales declined in oil-producing economies and in South Africa. Price realization was unfavorable due to competitive market conditions, and the sales decline in South Africa was a result of continued weak economic conditions. These unfavorable items were about offset by sales increases in several European countries, reflecting modest improvements in economic conditions.

Construction Industries' profit was $550 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $588 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decrease in profit was primarily due to unfavorable price realization and lower sales volume, including an unfavorable mix of products. The decline was largely offset by favorable costs, primarily due to restructuring and cost reduction actions, lower material costs, favorable cost absorption and improved freight costs. The favorable cost absorption was a result of inventory decreasing more in the second quarter of 2015 than in the second quarter of 2016.

Resource Industries' sales were $1.457 billion in the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $591 million, or 29 percent, from the second quarter of 2015. The decline was primarily due to lower sales volume. While sales were lower for both new equipment and aftermarket parts, most of the decrease was for new equipment.

The sales decrease was primarily due to lower end-user demand across all regions. While commodity prices have improved from their recent lows, it is not clear at this time if the current prices are sufficient to drive increased demand for equipment. Mining customers continued to focus on improving productivity in existing mines and reducing their total capital expenditures, as they have for several years. As a result, sales and new orders in Resource Industries continue to be weak.

Resource Industries incurred a loss of $163 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with a profit of $27 million in the second quarter of 2015. The unfavorable change was due to a decrease in sales volume, partially offset by lower period costs due to restructuring and cost reduction actions and favorable material costs.

1 Does not include inter-segment sales of $658 million and $766 million in second quarter 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Energy & Transportation's sales were $3.750 billion in the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $958 million, or 20 percent, from the second quarter of 2015. The decrease was primarily the result of lower sales volume. Sales decreased in all applications with nearly 80 percent of the decline in oil and gas and transportation.

Oil and Gas – Sales continued to decrease in much of the world due to low oil prices. The sales decline was most significant in EAME and Asia/Pacific, primarily due to lower demand for equipment used for gas compression, production and drilling applications. The decline in sales in North America was mostly due to lower end-user demand for reciprocating engines used in gas compression applications.
Transportation – Sales decreased in all geographic regions. The most significant decline was in Asia/Pacific primarily due to lower demand for equipment used in marine applications. The decrease in North America was due to discontinued production of on-highway vocational trucks. Weakness continued in the rail industry across all regions and was the most significant reason for the sales declines in EAME and Latin America. Sales into the rail industry in North America were about flat.
Power Generation – Sales decreased in EAME, Asia/Pacific and North America and were about flat in Latin America. The decline in EAME was a result of competitive price pressures, as well as continued weakness in the Middle East with low oil prices limiting investments. The decline in Asia/Pacific and North America was due to the absence of several large projects.
Industrial – Sales were lower primarily in North America and Latin America for most industrial applications due to lower end-user demand.

Energy & Transportation's profit was $602 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $942 million in the second quarter of 2015. The decline was due to lower sales volume, including an unfavorable mix of products, partially offset by lower costs primarily due to a decrease in short-term incentive compensation expense, the impact of restructuring and cost reduction actions, as well as favorable material costs.

Financial Products' revenues were $759 million in the second quarter of 2016, a decrease of $26 million, or 3 percent, from the second quarter of 2015. The decline was primarily due to lower average earning assets in Asia/Pacific and Latin America, partially offset by higher average earning assets in North America.

Financial Products' profit was $202 million in the second quarter of 2016, compared with $184 million in the second quarter of 2015. The improvement was primarily due to a $30 million increase in gains on sales of securities at Insurance Services and a $13 million decrease in SG&A expenses. These favorable impacts were partially offset by an $11 million unfavorable impact from the sale of returned or repossessed equipment primarily driven by the absence of gains in second quarter of 2015.

At the end of the second quarter of 2016, past dues at Cat Financial were 2.93 percent, compared with 2.97 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2015. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $33 million for the second quarter of 2016, compared with $38 million for the second quarter of 2015.

As of June 30, 2016, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $346 million, or 1.25 percent of net finance receivables, compared with $405 million, or 1.42 percent of net finance receivables at June 30, 2015. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2015 was $338 million, or 1.22 percent of net finance receivables.

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $328 million in the second quarter of 2016, an increase of $5 million from the second quarter of 2015. Corporate items and eliminations include: corporate-level expenses; restructuring costs; timing differences, as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis; retirement benefit costs other than service cost; currency differences for ME&T, as segment profit is reported using annual fixed exchange rates; cost of sales methodology differences, as segments use a current cost methodology; and inter-segment eliminations.

The increase in expense from the second quarter of 2015 was primarily due to an increase in restructuring costs and methodology differences, largely offset by timing differences and lower corporate costs.

2016 OUTLOOK

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1:	What caused the price deterioration in the second quarter, especially in Construction Industries? What do you expect for the balance of the year?

A:	We continue to see competitive pressure that started in the last half of 2015 driven by excess industry capacity, unfavorable currency pressure and an overall weak economic environment. We expect the current competitive pressure to continue for the remainder of 2016, although we expect our year-over-year comparison for price realization in the second half of the year will be better than the first half.

Q2:	Oil prices have improved from the beginning of 2016 and have stabilized. How does this affect your thinking about shipments of reciprocating engines and turbines for 2016?

A:	While oil prices have improved since the beginning of 2016, it is not clear at this time that the current price level is sufficient to drive increased demand. We have seen minimal change in the continued low drill rig counts and little improvement in our customers' fleet utilization rates. We continue to monitor a number of factors in addition to oil prices that shape our outlook, including recent order rates, quotation activity, current backlog, trends in retail statistics and discussions with our customers. Based on all of these factors, we do not see the current price driving significant increase in demand for our products in 2016.

Q3:	Can you discuss changes in dealer inventories during 2016?

A:	Changes in dealer inventories had little impact on sales from the second quarter of 2015 to the second quarter of 2016. Dealer machine and engine inventories decreased about $400 million in the second quarter of 2016 and about $300 million in the second quarter of 2015.

	During the first six months of 2016, dealer machine and engine inventories decreased about $100 million. We expect dealers will reduce inventories during the remainder of 2016, resulting in lower year-end inventories in 2016, compared to 2015.

Q4:	Can you comment on your order backlog?

A:	At the end of the second quarter of 2016, the order backlog was $11.8 billion. This represents about a $1.3 billion reduction from the end of the first quarter of 2016. About two-thirds of the decrease was in Construction Industries. It is not uncommon for the construction order backlog to decline during the second-quarter selling season, and we believe the reduction also reflects increased machine availability through our factories and product distribution centers. In addition, the order backlog for Energy & Transportation and Resource Industries declined. Compared to the second quarter of 2015, the order backlog has declined about $3.0 billion with decreases in all segments.

Q5:	Can you comment on expense related to your 2016 short-term incentive compensation plans?

A:	Short-term incentive compensation expense is directly related to financial and operational performance, measured against targets set annually. Second-quarter 2016 expense was about $85 million. Second-quarter 2015 expense was about $200 million.

	For 2016, our outlook includes short-term incentive compensation expense of about $410 million. Full-year 2015 short-term incentive compensation expense was about $585 million.

Q6:	Can you give us an update on how Cat Financial is performing?

A:	Cat Financial's portfolio continues to perform well overall despite ongoing weakness in many key end markets. The second quarter of 2016 past dues were 2.93 percent, compared with 2.97 percent in the second quarter of 2015, with current past dues remaining lower than historical averages. Write-offs in the second quarter of 2016 were $33 million, or 0.48 percent of the average retail portfolio, compared with $38 million, or 0.56 percent of the average retail portfolio in second quarter of 2015, and only slightly above historical averages for the second quarter. We believe customer risk exposure is well managed, with a broad distribution of portfolio exposure across a global customer base. Cat Financial continues to work closely with its customers to provide financing support for new Caterpillar product purchases and to actively monitor global portfolio health.

Q7:	Can you comment on your balance sheet and cash priorities?

A:	The ME&T *debt-to-capital ratio* was 39.0 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2016, compared with 37.7 percent at the end of the first quarter. Our cash and liquidity positions remain strong with an enterprise cash balance of $6.764 billion as of June 30, 2016. ME&T operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2016 was $1.165 billion, compared with $1.638 billion in the second quarter of 2015. The decline was primarily due to lower profit and the absence of a dividend from Cat Financial that was paid in the second quarter of 2015.

	Our long-term cash deployment priorities are unchanged, and we remain focused on the continued strength of our balance sheet in order to maintain our credit rating and the dividend.

Q8:	On June 23, 2016, the citizens of the United Kingdom voted to exit the European Union (Brexit). Although it is still early, how do you expect this vote will impact your business?

A:	Although the new U.K. government confirmed its intent to move forward with Brexit, there is little economic data available that reflects activity since the referendum was held. It is possible that in the short term the uncertainty could impact our customers' purchasing decisions. We have a substantial manufacturing presence in the U.K., and a weaker British pound would be positive for our exports from the U.K. However, it is still too early to draw any definitive conclusions about what impact, if any, the Brexit vote will have on our business and on long-term economic growth in Europe.

Q9:	Can you comment on your Solar Turbines business and how 2016 is progressing as compared with initial estimates? Also, how do you expect continued low oil and gas prices will affect how your customers administer parts and service?

A:	At the beginning of the year, we forecasted Solar's sales to be down less than 10 percent in 2016. The market fundamentals are playing out like we forecasted, with new equipment sales related to oil down significantly, offset by higher sales into gas compression. The increase in midstream compression for turbines is being driven by pipeline capacity additions and significant infrastructure investment, primarily in North America, due to fuel switching to natural gas for power generation and the build out of new Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) export facilities. Customer services are also an important part of Solar's business. Unlike equipment sold into many other industries Caterpillar serves, turbines operating in the field are generally not taken out of production in a market downturn. They are still operating and require parts, overhaul and field service. The backlog for Solar is flat from the end of the first quarter, and slightly up from the beginning of the year. However, customers are continuing to squeeze their maintenance budgets, and we expect them to delay some work into 2017. Based on our latest forecast, we now expect Solar's sales to be down about 10 percent from 2015.

Q10:	Can you provide an update on the readiness of your North American Tier 4 locomotives?

A:	Our North American Tier 4 freight locomotive is on schedule for deliveries in the second half of 2016. In addition, we recently introduced our entry into the passenger rail locomotive business with a Tier 4 offering to a U.S. customer.

Q11:	Did the tax rate related to restructuring costs change?

A:	During the second quarter, we revised how we report the tax impact of restructuring costs. Previously, we used the estimated annual tax rate (25 percent for 2016). We are now using statutory tax rates for the jurisdictions where the costs are deductible to compute the after tax impact of restructuring costs. This change would have lowered per share restructuring costs in our April 2016 outlook from $0.70 to $0.62. This change had no impact on our April profit per share outlook of $3.00 per share; however, it would have lowered our outlook for profit per share excluding restructuring costs by $0.08 ($3.70 per share would have been $3.62 per share). As a result of this change, first-quarter 2016 per share restructuring costs were revised from $0.21 to $0.18. There was no impact to first-quarter 2016 profit per share of $0.46, however profit per share excluding restructuring costs was revised from $0.67 to $0.64.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following definition is provided for "non-GAAP financial measures" in connection with Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures we use 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 measure.

Profit Per Share Excluding Restructuring Costs

We incurred restructuring costs in 2015 and in the first and second quarters of 2016 and expect to incur additional restructuring costs in the second half of 2016. We believe it is important to separately quantify the profit per share impact of restructuring costs in order for our results and outlook to be meaningful to our readers as these costs are incurred in the current year to generate longer-term benefits. Reconciliation of profit per share excluding restructuring costs to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, diluted profit per share, are as follows:


	First Quarter	Second Quarter		2016 Outlook
