CUMMINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)

 

NOTE 1NATURE OF OPERATIONS

 

Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “we,” “our” or “us”) is a leading global power provider that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, engine-related component products, including emission solutions, filtration, fuel systems and air handling systems, and power generation products, including electric power generation systems and related products.  We were founded in 1919 as one of the first manufacturers of diesel engines and are headquartered in the United States (U.S.) in Columbus, Indiana.  We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide.  We serve our customers through a network of more than 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and approximately 6,500 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

 

NOTE 2.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

 

The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows.  All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim financial information.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations.  Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period amounts to conform to the presentation of the current period condensed financial statements.

 

Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period.  The first quarters of 2012 and 2011 ended on April 1, and March 27, respectively.  The interim period for 2012 contained 13 weeks while the interim period for 2011 contained 12 weeks.  Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  Significant estimates and assumptions in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment and are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment tests, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, warranty programs, determination of discount and other rate assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit expenses, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease classifications and contingencies.  Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

 

In preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, we evaluated subsequent events through the date our quarterly report was filed with the SEC.

 

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock.  The options excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended April 1, 2012, and March 27, 2011, were as follows:

 

 

 

Three months ended

 

 

 

April 1, 2012

 

March 27, 2011

 

Options excluded

 

143,300

 

3,750

 

 

You should read these interim condensed financial statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.  Our interim period financial results for the three month interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.  The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

We made $43 million of pension contributions in the three month period ended April 1, 2012, and we anticipate making an additional $87 million of contributions during the remainder of 2012. We paid $9 million of claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits in the three month period ended April 1, 2012; payments for the remainder of 2012 are expected to be $42 million. The $130 million of contributions for the full year include voluntary contributions of approximately $109 million.  These contributions and payments may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants.

NOTE 6.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

 

The majority of the assets and liabilities we carry at fair value are available-for-sale (AFS) securities and derivatives.  AFS securities are derived from level 1 or level 2 inputs.  Derivative assets and liabilities are derived from level 2 inputs.  The predominance of market inputs are actively quoted and can be validated through external sources, including brokers, market transactions and third-party pricing services.  When material, we adjust the values of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk.  There were no transfers into or out of Levels 2 or 3 in the first three months of 2012.

The substantial majority of our assets were valued utilizing a market approach.  A description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for our level 2 fair value measures are as follows:

 

Debt mutual funds — Assets in level 2 consist of exchange traded mutual funds that lack sufficient trading volume to be classified at level 1.  The fair value measure for these investments is the daily net asset value published on a regulated governmental website.  Daily quoted prices are available from the issuing brokerage and are used on a test basis to corroborate this level 2 input.

 

11



Table of Contents

 

Bank debentures and Certificates of deposit — These investments provide us with a fixed rate of return and generally range in maturity from six months to three years.  The counter-parties to these investments are reputable financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings.  Since these instruments are not tradable and must be settled directly by Cummins with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institutions’ month-end statement.

 

Government debt securities-non-U.S. and Corporate debt securities — The fair value measure for these securities are broker quotes received from reputable firms.  These securities are infrequently traded on a national stock exchange and these values are used on a test basis to corroborate our level 2 input measure.

 

Foreign currency forward contracts — The fair value measure for these contracts are determined based on forward foreign exchange rates received from third-party pricing services.  These rates are based upon market transactions and are periodically corroborated by comparing to third-party broker quotes.

 

Commodity swap contracts — The fair value measure for these contracts are current spot market data adjusted for the appropriate current forward curves provided by external financial institutions.  The current spot price is the most significant component of this valuation and is based upon market transactions.  We use third-party pricing services for the spot price component of this valuation which is periodically corroborated by market data from broker quotes.

 

Interest rate contracts — We currently have only one interest rate contract.  We utilize the month-end statement from the issuing financial institution as our fair value measure for this investment.  We corroborate this valuation through the use of a third-party pricing service for similar assets and liabilities.

 

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

 

Based on borrowing rates currently available to us for bank loans with similar terms and average maturities, considering our risk premium, the fair value and carrying value of total debt, including current maturities, at April 1, 2012 and December 31, 2011, are set forth in the table below.  The carrying values of all other receivables and liabilities approximated fair values (derived from Level 2 inputs).

NOTE 8.  PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY

 

We charge the estimated costs of warranty programs, other than product recalls, to income at the time products are shipped to customers.  We use historical claims experience to develop the estimated liability.  We review product recall programs on a quarterly basis and, if necessary, record a liability when we commit to an action, or when they become probable and estimable, which is reflected in the provision for warranties issued line.  We also sell extended warranty coverage on several engines.  The following is a tabular reconciliation of the product warranty liability, including the deferred revenue related to our extended warranty coverage and accrued recall programs:

NOTE 10.  DERIVATIVES

 

We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.  This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments including foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swap contracts and interest rate swaps.  As stated in our policies and procedures, financial derivatives are used expressly for hedging purposes, and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes.  When material, we adjust the value of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk.

 

Foreign Exchange Rates

 

As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risks.  We transact business in foreign currencies and, as a result, our income experiences some volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates.  To help manage our exposure to exchange rate volatility, we use foreign exchange forward contracts on a regular basis to hedge forecasted intercompany and third-party sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies.  Our internal policy allows for managing anticipated foreign currency cash flows for up to one year.  These foreign currency forward contracts are designated and qualify as foreign currency cash flow hedges under GAAP.  The effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss on the forward contract is deferred and reported as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” (AOCL).  When the hedged forecasted transaction (sale or purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into income in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects income.  The ineffective portion of the hedge, unrealized gain or loss, if any, is recognized in current income during the period of change.  As of April 1, 2012, the amount we expect to reclassify from AOCL to income over the next year is an unrealized net loss of $1 million.  For the three month periods ended April 1, 2012 and March 27, 2011, there were no circumstances that would have resulted in the discontinuance of a foreign currency cash flow hedge.

 

To minimize the income volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and payables denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts, which are considered economic hedges.  The objective is to offset the gain or loss from remeasurement with the gain or loss from the fair market valuation of the forward contract.  These derivative instruments are not designated as hedges under GAAP.

 

The table below summarizes our outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.  Only the U.S. dollar forward contracts are designated and qualify for hedge accounting as of each period presented below.  The currencies in this table represent 96 percent and 98 percent of the notional amounts of contracts outstanding as of April 1, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

Commodity Price Risk

 

We are exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices due to contractual agreements with component suppliers.  In order to protect ourselves against future price volatility and, consequently, fluctuations in gross margins, we periodically enter into commodity swap contracts with designated banks to fix the cost of certain raw material purchases with the objective of minimizing changes in inventory cost due to market price fluctuations.  Certain commodity swap contracts are derivative contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges under GAAP.  We also have commodity swap contracts that represent an economic hedge, however do not qualify for hedge accounting and are marked to market through earnings.  For those contracts that qualify for hedge accounting, the effective portion of the unrealized gain or loss is deferred and reported as a component of AOCL.  When the hedged forecasted transaction (purchase) occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into income in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects income.  The ineffective portion of the hedge, if any, is recognized in current income in the period in which the ineffectiveness occurs.  As of April 1, 2012, we expect to reclassify an unrealized net loss of $1 million from AOCL to income over the next year.  Our internal policy allows for managing these cash flow hedges for up to three years.

 

The following table summarizes our outstanding commodity swap contracts that were entered into to hedge the cost of certain raw material purchases:

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are exposed to market risk from fluctuations in interest rates.  We manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations through the use of interest rate swaps.  The objective of the swaps is to more effectively balance our borrowing costs and interest rate risk.

 

In November 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap to effectively convert our $250 million debt issue, due in 2028, from a fixed rate of 7.125 percent to a floating rate based on a LIBOR spread. The terms of the swap mirror those of the debt, with interest paid semi-annually. This swap qualifies as a fair value hedge under GAAP. The gain or loss on this derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in current income as “Interest expense.” The following table summarizes these gains and losses for the three month interim reporting periods presented below:

NOTE 11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

 

We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement; contractual liability; the conduct of our business; tax reporting in foreign jurisdictions; distributor termination; workplace safety; and environmental matters. We also have been identified as a potentially responsible party at multiple waste disposal sites under U.S. federal and related state environmental statutes and regulations and may have joint and several liability for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to such sites.  We have denied liability with respect to many of these lawsuits, claims and proceedings and are vigorously defending such lawsuits, claims and proceedings.  We carry various forms of commercial, property and casualty, product liability and other forms of insurance; however, such insurance may not be applicable or adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these lawsuits, claims and proceedings.  We do not believe that these lawsuits are material individually or in the aggregate.  While we believe we have also established adequate accruals for our expected future liability with respect to pending lawsuits, claims and proceedings, where the nature and extent of any such liability can be reasonably estimated based upon then presently available information, there can be no assurance that the final resolution of any existing or future lawsuits, claims or proceedings will not have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

We conduct significant business operations in Brazil that are subject to the Brazilian federal, state and local labor, social security, tax and customs laws.  While we believe we comply with such laws, they are complex, subject to varying interpretations and we are often engaged in litigation regarding the application of these laws to particular circumstances.

 

U.S. Distributor Commitments

 

Our distribution agreements with independent and partially-owned distributors generally have a three-year term and are restricted to specified territories.  Our distributors develop and maintain a network of dealers with which we have no direct relationship.  Our distributors are permitted to sell other, noncompetitive products only with our consent.  We license all of our distributors to use our name and logo in connection with the sale and service of our products, with no right to assign or sublicense the trademarks, except to authorized dealers, without our consent.  Products are sold to the distributors at standard domestic or international distributor net prices, as applicable.  Net prices are wholesale prices we establish to permit our distributors an adequate margin on their sales.  Subject to local laws, we can generally refuse to renew these agreements upon expiration or terminate them upon written notice for inadequate sales, change in principal ownership and certain other reasons.  Distributors also have the right to terminate the agreements upon 60-day notice without cause, or 30-day notice for cause.  Upon termination or failure to renew, we are required to purchase the distributor’s current inventory, signage and special tools, and may, at our option purchase other assets of the distributor, but are under no obligation to do so.

 

Other Guarantees and Commitments

 

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time we periodically enter into other guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financing, residual value guarantees on equipment leased under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of third-party obligations.  As of April 1, 2012, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees is summarized as follows (where the guarantee is in a foreign currency the amount below represents the amount in U.S. dollars at current exchange rates):

The amount of liability related to Beijing Foton Cummins Energy Company and Cummins Olayan Energy Limited were each less than $1 million.

 

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties.  The penalty amounts are less than our purchase commitments and essentially allow the supplier to recover their tooling costs in most instances.  As of April 1, 2012, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $33 million, of which $32 million relates to a contract with an engine parts supplier that extends to 2013.  We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.  In addition, we also have a “take or pay” contract with an emission solutions business supplier requiring us to purchase approximately $73 million annually from 2012 to 2018.  These arrangements enable us to secure critical components.

 

We have guarantees with certain customers that require us to satisfactorily honor contractual or regulatory obligations, or compensate for monetary losses related to nonperformance.  These performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees were $78 million at April 1, 2012.

 

Indemnifications

 

Periodically, we enter into various contractual arrangements where we agree to indemnify a third-party against certain types of losses.  Common types of indemnifications include:

 

·                  product liability and license, patent or trademark indemnifications,

 

·                  asset sale agreements where we agree to indemnify the purchaser against future environmental exposures related to the asset sold and

 

·                  any contractual agreement where we agree to indemnify the counter-party for losses suffered as a result of a misrepresentation in the contract.

We regularly evaluate the probability of having to incur costs associated with these indemnifications and accrue for expected losses that are probable.  Because the indemnifications are not related to specified known liabilities and due to their uncertain nature, we are unable to estimate the maximum amount of the potential loss associated with these indemnifications.

 

Joint Venture Commitments

 

As of April 1, 2012, we have committed to invest an additional $67 million into existing joint ventures of which $56 million is expected to be funded in 2012.

 

NOTE 12.  OPERATING SEGMENTS

 

Operating segments under GAAP are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-maker, or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.  Cummins chief operating decision-maker (CODM) is the Chief Executive Officer.

 

Our reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Components, Power Generation and Distribution.  This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves and allows management to focus its efforts on providing enhanced service to a wide range of customers.  The Engine segment produces engines and parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various industrial markets.  Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, mining, agriculture, marine, oil and gas, rail and military equipment.  The Components segment sells filtration products, exhaust aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems.  The Power Generation segment is an integrated provider of power systems.  The segment sells engines, generator sets, alternators, power systems and services.  The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world.

 

We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, taxes and noncontrolling interests) as a primary basis for the CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments.  Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.

 

The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.  We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions.  We have allocated certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.  These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal and finance.  We also do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior services costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance or income taxes to individual segments.  Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.
