We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and ~~approximately~~over 7,200 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 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 ~~third~~second quarters of ~~2015~~2016 and ~~2014~~2015 ended on ~~September 27~~July 3 and ~~September~~June 28, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

~~The preparation~~Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts presented and disclosed in ~~the~~our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in theseCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment and are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, 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 rates and other ~~rate~~ assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit costs, warranty programs, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease ~~classifications,~~classification, contingencies and restructuring ~~actions and contingencies.~~costs. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

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 and ~~nine month periods~~six months ended ~~September 27,~~July 3, 2016 and June 28, 2015, ~~and September 28, 2014~~, were as follows:

Our interim period financial results for the three and ~~nine~~six 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.

⁽¹⁾

All results from acquired entities were included in Distribution segment results subsequent to the acquisition date. Previously consolidated entities were accounted for as equity transactions (EQUITY). Newly consolidated entities were accounted for as business combinations (COMB) with gains recognized based on the requirement to remeasure our pre-existing ownership to fair value in accordance with GAAP and are included in the ~~Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income~~ ~~as "Other income, net."~~


⁽²⁾	~~Intangible assets acquired in business combinations were mostly customer related, the majority of which will be amortized over a period of up to five years from the date of the acquisition.~~


⁽³⁾	~~Sales amounts are not fully incremental to our consolidated sales as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity.~~

⁽⁴⁾~~Purchase accounting for these acquisitions are preliminary, awaiting customary adjustments to~~agreement, we paid the full $500 million purchase price and initially received approximately 4.1 million shares representing approximately 80 percent of the shares expected to be repurchased. The unsettled portion of the ASR met the criteria to be accounted for as a forward contract indexed to our stock and qualified as an equity transaction. This resulted in ~~accordance with~~a $100 million reduction to additional paid-in capital during the ~~purchase agreements.~~


⁽⁵⁾	The "Total Purchase Consideration" represents the total amount that will or is estimated to be paid to complete the acquisition. In some instances a portion of the acquisition payment has not yet been made and will be paid in future periods in accordance with the purchase contract. The total estimated remaining consideration at September 27, 2015, was $15 million.

first quarter of 2016. In the second quarter of 2016, the ASR was completed, and we received approximately 0.6 million additional shares, based on our volume-weighted average stock price

during the term of the transaction, less a discount, for a total of 4.7 million shares purchased under the ASR at an average purchase price of $105.50 per share. The settlement resulted in the reclassification of the $100 million reduction of additional paid-in capital recognized in the first quarter of 2016 to treasury stock.

The delivery of shares resulted in a reduction to our common stock outstanding used to calculate earnings per share in the quarter the shares were received and subsequent quarters.

We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2016 of $43 million. The estimated $146 million of pension contributions for the full year include voluntary contributions of approximately $102 million. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2016 net periodic pension cost to approximate $42 million.

The components of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs under our plans were as follows:

NOTE 6.5. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate ~~29.5~~27.0 percent,, excluding any one-time items that may arise. The expected tax rate does not include the benefits of the research tax credit, which expired December 31, 2014 and has not yet been renewed by Congress. If the research credit is reinstated during 2015, we anticipate the 2015 effective tax rate will be reduced to 28.5 percent. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign ~~income.~~ income and the research tax credit.

~~The~~Our effective tax rate for the three and ~~nine month periods~~six months ended ~~September 27, 2015~~,July 3, 2016, was ~~30.1~~25.7 percent and ~~28.7~~26.9 percent, respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 28, 2015, was 29.5 percent and 28.1 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the ~~nine month period~~six months ended ~~September 27,~~June 28, 2015, included ~~a net $14~~an $18 million discrete tax benefit ~~primarily~~ to reflect the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to a favorable federal audit settlement.

~~Our effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2014, was~~ ~~34.4 percent~~ and 30.4 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2014, included a $19 million discrete tax expense to reflect the reduction in value of state tax credits as a result of a favorable state tax rate change that will lower future taxes. Additionally, the tax rate for the nine month period included a $2 million discrete tax benefit for the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to multiple state audit settlements, a $12 million discrete tax expense attributable primarily to state deferred tax adjustments, as well as a $6 million discrete net tax benefit resulting from a $70 million dividend paid from China earnings generated prior to 2012.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended ~~September 27, 2015,~~July 3, 2016, versus the comparable ~~period~~periods in ~~2014~~2015 was primarily due to favorable changes in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax ~~income and the 2014 unfavorable discrete tax items.~~income.

It is reasonably possible that our existing liabilities for uncertain tax benefits may decrease in an amount ranging from $0$40 million to ~~$70~~$90 million within the next ~~twelve~~12 months for U.S. and non-U.S. audits that are in ~~process.~~progress.

⁽¹⁾The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated ~~primarily~~ using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs where available, including market transactions and third-party pricing ~~services.~~services, or net asset values provided to investors. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities and there were no transfers between Level 2 or 3 during the first ~~nine months~~half of ~~2015 and 2014.~~2016 or for the year ended December 31, 2015.

A description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for our Level 2 fair value measures was as follows:

Bank debentures— These investments provide us with a contractual rate of return and generally range in maturity from three months to one year. 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 us with the respective financial institution, our fair value measure is the financial institutions’ month-end statement.

Debt mutual funds— 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.

Equity mutual funds— The fair value measure for these investments is the net asset value published by the issuing brokerage. Daily quoted prices are available from reputable third party pricing services and are used on a test basis to corroborate this Level 2 input measure.

Government debt securities-non-U.S.— 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.

The proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities and gross realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities were as follows:

NOTE ~~11.~~10. 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.

Loss Contingency

Engine systems sold in the U.S. must be certified to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission standards. EPA and CARB regulations require that in-use testing be performed on vehicles by the emission certificate holder and reported to the EPA and CARB in order to ensure ongoing compliance with these emission standards. We are the holder of this emission certificate for our engines, including engines installed in certain vehicles with one customer on which we did not also manufacture or sell the emission aftertreatment system. During 2015, a

quality issue in certain of these third party aftertreatment systems caused some of our inter-related engines to fail in-use emission testing. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the vehicle manufacturer made a request that we assist in the design and bear the financial cost of a field campaign (Campaign) to address the technical issue purportedly causing some vehicles to fail the in-use testing.

While we are not responsible for the warranty issues related to a component that we did not manufacture or sell, as the emission compliance certificate holder, we are responsible for proposing a remedy to the EPA and CARB. As a result, we have proposed actions to the agencies that we believe will address the emission failures. As the certificate holder, we expect to participate in the cost of the proposed voluntary Campaign and recorded a charge for this Campaign in other operating expenses of$60 million in 2015. The campaign design was finalized with our OEM customer, reviewed with the EPA and submitted for final approval in the second quarter and we recorded an additional accrual of $39 million. We continue to work with the vehicle manufacturer on campaign execution plans and a cost sharing agreement. The Campaign is not expected to be completed for some time and our final cost could differ from what we have recorded.

We do not currently expect any fines or penalties from the EPA or CARB related to this matter.

Guarantees and Commitments

From time to time we enter into guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financings, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of joint ventures or third-party obligations. ~~As of September 27, 2015,~~At July 3, 2016, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was ~~$20 million.~~ $40 million, of which $15 million was recorded as a liability on the balance sheet.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. ~~As of September 27, 2015,~~At July 3, 2016, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately ~~$134~~$124 million,, of which ~~$78~~$61 million relates to a contract with a components supplier that extends to 2018. ~~These~~Most of these arrangements enable us to secure critical components. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

~~During 2014, we began entering~~We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum, palladium and ~~palladium~~copper to purchase minimum volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, not to exceed two years. ~~As of September 27, 2015,~~At July 3, 2016, the total commitments under these contracts were ~~$38~~$40 million. These arrangements enable us to fix the prices of these commodities, which otherwise are subject to market volatility.

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~~$69~~ $78 million at ~~September 27, 2015and$76 million~~ at ~~December 31, 2014~~.

July 3, 2016.

Indemnifications

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

NOTE 12. RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS AND OTHER CHARGES

We executed restructuring actions primarily in the form of professional voluntary and involuntary employee separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2015. These actions were in response to the continued deterioration in our global markets in the second half of 2015, as well as expected reductions in orders in most U.S. and global markets in 2016. We reduced our worldwide workforce by approximately 1,900 employees, including approximately 370 employees accepting voluntary retirement packages with the remainder of the reductions being involuntary. We incurred a charge of $90 million in the fourth quarter of 2015, of which $86 million related to severance costs for both voluntary and involuntary terminations and $4 million was for asset impairments and other charges.

Employee termination and severance costs were recorded based on approved plans developed by the businesses and corporate management which specified positions to be eliminated, benefits to be paid under existing severance plans or statutory requirements and the expected timetable for completion of the plan. Estimates of restructuring costs and benefits were made based on information available at the time charges were recorded. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved, actual amounts paid for such activities may differ from amounts initially recorded and we may need to revise previous estimates.

Restructuring actions and other charges were included in each segment in our operating results as follows:



In millions	Year ended December 31, 2015 ⁽¹⁾
Power Systems	26
Distribution	23
Engine	17
Components	13
Non-segment	11
Restructuring actions and other charges	$	90

⁽¹⁾ Restructuring actions and other charges by segment were re-allocated in conjunction with our segment realignment. See Note 13, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," for additional information.

At July 3, 2016, substantially all terminations have been completed.

The table below summarizes the activity and balance of accrued workforce reductions, which is included in "Other accrued expenses" in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

NOTE 13. 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,~~Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. ~~Cummins' chief operating decision-maker (CODM)~~Our CODM is the Chief ~~Executive~~Operating Officer.

We use segment EBIT (defined as earnings before interest expense, income 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.

As previously announced, beginning with the second quarter of 2016, we realigned certain of our reportable segments to be consistent with changes to our organizational structure and how the CODM monitors the performance of our segments. We reorganized our business to combine our Power Generation segment and our high horsepower engine business to create the new Power Systems segment. Our reportable operating segments consist ~~of the following:~~of: Engine, Distribution, Components and Power ~~Generation. This~~Systems. We began to report results for our new reporting structure in the second quarter of 2016 and also reflected this change for historical periods.

We allocate certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal, finance and supply chain management. In addition to the reorganization noted above, we reevaluated the allocation of these costs, considering the new segment structure created in April 2016 and adjusted our allocation methodology accordingly. The revised methodology, which is based on a combination of relative segment sales and relative service usage levels, is effective for the periods beginning after January 1, 2016 and resulted in the revision of our segment operating results, including segment EBIT, for all four segments for the first quarter of 2016 with a greater share of costs allocated to the Distribution and Components segments than in previous years. Prior periods were not revised for the new allocation methodology. These changes had no impact on our consolidated results.

Our new reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and less in size) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various ~~industrial~~off-highway 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~~power generation systems and ~~gas, rail and military equipment.~~other off-highway applications. 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. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems. The Power ~~Generation~~Systems segment is an integrated power provider, ~~of power systems,~~ which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas and marine), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and ~~alternators.~~

The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in our 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~~As noted above, we allocate 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.segments. We ~~also~~ do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior service 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.

NOTE 14. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its standards related to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This amendment introduces new guidance for the accounting for credit losses on instruments including trade receivables and available for sale debt securities. The new rules will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In March 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for stock compensation. This amendment addresses several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions that could change for us including, but not limited to, recognition of excess tax benefits or deficiencies in the income statement each period and classification of the excess tax benefits or deficiencies as operating activities in the cash flow statement. The new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for leases. Under the new standard, lessees will now be required to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as both a right-of-use-asset and a liability. The standard will continue to have two types of leases for income statement recognition purposes: operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases will result in the recognition of a single lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term similar to the treatment for operating leases under today's standards. Finance leases will result in an accelerated expense similar to the accounting for capital leases under today's standards. The determination of a lease classification as operating or finance will be done in a manner very similar to today's standard. The new standard also contains amended guidance regarding the identification of embedded leases in service contracts and the identification of lease and non-lease components in an arrangement. The new standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact the standard could have on our Consolidated Financial Statements; however, while we have not yet quantified the amount, we do expect the standard will have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the recognition of additional assets and liabilities for operating leases.

In January 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for certain financial instruments. This amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The new rules will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB amended its standards related to revenue recognition. This amendment replaces all existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that we will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that we will recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The ~~standard allows either full or modified retrospective adoption. The~~ guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The amendment also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in those judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. The ~~new rules would have become~~standard allows either full or modified retrospective adoption effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, ~~2017. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year delay of the effective date of the standard to January 1, 2018, to provide adequate time for implementation.~~2018. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial ~~Statements~~Statements. ~~, and~~We expect to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach. While we ~~are further considering~~have not yet completed our evaluation process, we have identified transactions where revenue recognition is currently limited to the amount of billings not contingent on our future performance. With the allocation provisions of the new model, we expect to accelerate the timing of

revenue recognition for amounts related to satisfied performance obligations that would have been delayed under the current guidance. We do not expect the impact of ~~each method of adoption.~~this change to be material, but we are still quantifying the impact.

~~NOTE 15. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS~~

On October 27, 2015, we announced we will reduce our worldwide professional work force by up to 2,000 employees in response to lower demand for our products in the United States and key markets around the world. The employee reductions will come from all parts of the company. We will incur a pre-tax fourth quarter charge in the range of $70 million to $90 million for the headcount reductions. In addition to these reductions, we expect to close or restructure several manufacturing facilities over time which could increase the fourth quarter charge and may result in additional charges in the future.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide.We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Daimler Trucks North America, Navistar International Corporation, Fiat Chrysler ~~Group, LLC (Chrysler)~~Automobiles (Fiat Chrysler), Volvo AB, Komatsu ~~Navistar International Corporation, Aggreko plc, Ford Motor Company~~ and MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and ~~approximately~~over 7,200 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

Our reportable operating segments consist of ~~the following:~~ Engine, Distribution, Components and Power ~~Generation.~~Systems. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and less in size) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various ~~industrial~~off-highway 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~~power generation systems and ~~gas, rail and military equipment.~~other off-highway applications. 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. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers and fuel systems. The Power ~~Generation~~Systems segment is an integrated power provider, ~~of power systems,~~ which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas and marine), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and ~~alternators.~~other power components.

Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve, particularly the on-highway, construction and general industrial markets. Demand in these markets tends to fluctuate in response to overall economic conditions. Our sales may also be impacted by OEM inventory levels, ~~and~~ production schedules and stoppages. Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reduced sales of our products and can result in price reductions in certain products and/or markets. As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by currency, political, economic and regulatory matters, including adoption and enforcement of environmental and emission standards, in the countries we serve. As part of our growth strategy, we invest in businesses in certain countries that carry high levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia and countries in the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped limit the impact from a drop in demand in any one industry or customer or the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.

Worldwide revenues decreased 610 percent in the three months ended ~~September 27, 2015,~~July 3, 2016, as compared to the same period in ~~2014~~,2015, primarily due to lower demand in most global on-highway markets, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations ~~lower global~~and decreased demand in most ~~industrial markets, lower on-highway demand in international markets and weakness in~~ global power generation markets, partially offset by sales increases related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, ~~2013.~~2014. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada declined by 13 percent primarily due to decreased demand in the North American on-highway markets and lower demand in the industrial oil and gas markets, partially offset by increased Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of North American distributors. Continued ~~international~~global economic weakness in the ~~third~~second quarter of ~~2015~~2016 negatively impacted our international revenues ~~(exclude~~(excludes the ~~United States~~U.S. and Canada), which declined by 184 percent, with sales down in ~~most~~many of our markets, ~~primarily~~especially in ~~Brazil, as a result of challenging economic conditions~~the U.K., Mexico and ~~slower growth in China.~~Brazil. The decline in international sales was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 41 percent (primarily in ~~Europe, Brazil, Australia, India~~the Chinese renminbi, Brazilian real, Indian rupee, Australian dollar and ~~the United Kingdom),~~British pound) and lower demand in ~~international industrial markets led by declines in the commercial marine market, the construction market (primarily in Europe) and~~ the on-highway markets, especially in ~~Brazil.~~Mexico.

Worldwide revenues declined 9 percent in the first six months of 2016 as compared to the same period in 2015, primarily due to lower demand in most global on-highway markets, decreased demand in most global power generation markets, unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and lower demand in most global industrial markets, partially offset by sales increases related to the acquisition of North American distributors since December 31, 2014. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada ~~improved~~declined by 412 percent primarily due to decreased demand in the North American on-highway markets and lower demand in the industrial oil and gas and construction markets, partially offset by increased Distribution segment sales related to the ~~consolidation~~acquisition of North American ~~distributors and higher demand in the North American on-highway markets, partially offset by lower demand in the industrial mining and construction markets.~~

Worldwide revenues increased 2 percent in the first nine months of 2015 as compared to the same period in 2014, primarily due to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2013 and higher demand in North American on-highway markets, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, lowerdistributors. Continued global demand in many industrial markets and lower on-highway demand in international markets. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada improved by 11 percent primarily due to increased Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of North American distributors and higher demand in North American on-highway markets, partially offset by lower demand in mining and construction markets. Continued international economic weakness in ~~the first nine months of 2015~~2016 negatively impacted our international revenues (excludes the U.S. and Canada), which declined by 106 percent, with sales down in most of our markets, especially in ~~Europe~~South America, the U.K. and ~~Brazil, as a result of their challenging economic conditions and slower growth in China.~~Mexico. The decline in international sales was primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 42 percent (primarily in ~~Europe,~~the Brazilian real, Chinese renminbi, Indian rupee, Australian dollar, British pound and South African rand), lower demand in the on-highway markets in Brazil ~~Australia, the U.K.~~ and ~~India), declines~~Mexico and decreased demand in international industrial markets led by declines in ~~the construction market (primarily in Europe)~~marine and the commercial marine market and lower demand in on-highway markets (primarily in Brazil and China). These decreases were partially offset by increased international demand in certain power generation markets, especially in the Middle East and Africa.mining markets.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate ~~29.5~~27.0 percent, excluding any one-time items that may arise. The expected tax rate does not include the benefits of the research tax credit, which expired December 31, 2014 and has not yet been renewed by Congress. If the research credit is reinstated during 2015, we anticipate the 2015 effective tax rate will be reduced to 28.5 percent. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign ~~income.~~income and the research tax credit.

~~The~~Our effective tax rate for the three and ~~nine month periods~~six months ended ~~September 27,~~July 3, 2016, was 25.7 percent and 26.9 percent, respectively.

Our effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 28, 2015, was ~~30.1~~29.5 percent and ~~28.7~~28.1 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the ~~nine month period~~six months ended ~~September 27,~~June 28, 2015, included ~~a net $14~~an $18 million discrete tax benefit ~~primarily~~ to reflect the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to a favorable federal audit settlement.

Our effective tax rate for the three and nine month periods ended September 28, 2014, was 34.4 percent and 30.4 percent, respectively. The tax rate for the three months ended September 28, 2014, included a $19 million discrete tax expense to reflect the reduction in value of state tax credits as a result of a favorable state tax rate change that will lower future taxes. Additionally, the tax rate for the nine month period included a $2 million discrete tax benefit for the release of reserves for uncertain tax positions related to multiple state audit settlements, a $12 million discrete tax expense attributable primarily to state deferred tax adjustments, as well as a $6 million discrete net tax benefit resulting from a $70 million dividend paid from China earnings generated prior to 2012.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the three months ended ~~September 27, 2015,~~July 3, 2016, decreased $4 million primarily due to lower earnings at ~~Wuxi~~ Cummins ~~Turbo Technologies Co.~~India Ltd. ~~and a decline from the acquisition of the remaining interest in previously consolidated North American distributors since December 31, 2013.~~

Noncontrolling interests in income of consolidated subsidiaries for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September 27, 2015,~~July 3, 2016, decreased $9 million primarily due to lower earnings ~~at Wuxi Cummins Turbo Technologies Co. Ltd. and~~as a ~~decline from~~result of the acquisition of the remaining interest in ~~previously consolidated~~ North American distributors since December 31, ~~2013, partially offset by higher~~2014 and lower earnings at Cummins India Ltd.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

Our ~~reportable operating segments consist of the following: Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Generation. This~~ reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment ~~serves~~.serves. We use segment EBIT as the primary basis for the ~~chief operating decision-maker~~Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) to evaluate the performance of each of our operating segments.

As previously announced, beginning with the second quarter of 2016, we realigned certain of our reportable segments to be consistent with changes to our organizational structure and how the CODM monitors the performance of our segments. We reorganized our business to combine our Power Generation segment and our high horsepower engine business to create the new Power Systems segment. Our reportable operating segments consist of: Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Systems. We began to report results for our new reporting structure in the second quarter of 2016 and also reflected this change for historical periods. The formation of the Power Systems segment combined two businesses that are already strongly interdependent, which will allow us to streamline business and technical processes to accelerate innovation, grow market share and more efficiently manage our supply chain and manufacturing operations.

Following is a discussion of results for each of our operating segments.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Key Working Capital and Balance Sheet Data

We fund our working capital with cash from operations and short-term borrowings, including commercial paper, when necessary. Various assets and liabilities, including short-term debt, can fluctuate significantly from month to month depending on short-term liquidity needs. As a result, working capital is a prime focus of management attention. Working capital and balance sheet measures are provided in the following table:

Net cash used in financing activities increased $63 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September 27, 2015,~~July 3, 2016, versus the comparable period in ~~2014,~~2015, primarily due to ~~higher dividend payments of $82 million and~~ higher common stock repurchases of ~~$45~~$181 million, higher payments on borrowings and capital lease obligations of $102 million and higher dividend payments of $53 million, partially offset by net borrowings of commercial paper of $200 million and increased proceeds from borrowings of $97 million.

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the six months ended July 3, 2016, versus the comparable period in 2015, decreased $136 million primarily due to the British pound which decreased cash and cash equivalents by $122 million.

Sources of Liquidity

We generate significant ongoing cash flow, which has been used, in part, to fund working capital, common stock repurchases, capital expenditures, dividends on our common stock, acquisitions, projected pension obligations and debt service. Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity with ~~$1.1 billion~~$734 million provided in the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September 27, 2015.~~ July 3, 2016.

~~As of September 27, 2015,~~At July 3, 2016, our other sources of liquidity included:



	July 3, 2016

~~Table of Contents~~

aThe revolving credit facility ~~with $1.7 billion~~is maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At July 3, 2016, we had $200 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facility to $1.55 billion.

⁽³⁾ The available capacity is net of letters of ~~credit and~~

~~international and other domestic credit facilities with $197 million available.~~credit.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S. At ~~September 27, 2015, the total of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was~~ ~~$1.0 billion, the majority of which was located in the U.K., China and Singapore.~~ The geographic location of our cash and marketable securities aligns well with our ongoing investments. We manage our worldwide cash requirements considering available funds among the many subsidiaries through which we conduct our business and the cost effectiveness with which those funds can be accessed. As a result, we do not anticipate any local liquidity restrictions to preclude us from funding our ~~targeted expansion or~~ operating needs with local resources.

If we distribute our foreign cash balances to the U.S. or to other foreign subsidiaries, we could be required to accrue and pay U.S. ~~taxes. For~~taxes, for example, ~~we would be required to accrue and pay additional U.S. taxes~~ if we repatriated cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings we have asserted are permanently reinvested outside of the U.S. Foreign earnings for which we assert permanent reinvestment outside the U.S. consist primarily of earnings of our China and U.K. domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings from these subsidiaries for which we have asserted permanent reinvestment. However, to help fund cash needs of the U.S. or other international subsidiaries as they arise, we repatriate available cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings are not permanently reinvested when it is cost effective to do so. Earnings generated after 2011 from our China operations are considered permanently reinvested, while earnings generated prior to 2012, for which U.S. deferred tax liabilities have been recorded, are expected to be repatriated in future ~~years~~.years.

Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity

In February 2016, the Board of Directors authorized the issuance of up to $1.75 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to a commercial paper program. The program will facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes.

We have a ~~$1.7~~$1.75 billion revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which can be used for general corporate purposes. This facility expires on November ~~9, 2018. We expect~~13, 2020. The revolving credit facility is maintained primarily to ~~successfully negotiate~~provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings, letters of credit and general corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility and commercial paper program should not exceed $1.75 billion.

As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an ~~amended and restated revolver agreement at similar terms in the fourth quarter of 2015.~~

~~We have a current~~automatic shelf registration ~~filed~~for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the Securities and Exchange Commission ~~under which~~on February 16, 2016. Under this shelf registration we may offer, from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred and preference stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units.

The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows in the intermediate term. Required annual principal payments range from $9 million to $40 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2015).

Uses of Cash

~~Capital Expenditures~~

~~Capital expenditures and spending on internal use software for the nine months ended September 27, 2015, were $431 million compared to $449 million in the comparable period in~~ ~~2014~~. Despite the challenging international economies, we continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend between $650 million and $700 million in 2015 as we continue with product launches and facility improvements. Approximately 40 percent of our capital expenditures are expected to be invested outside of the U.S. in 2015.

⁽¹⁾ The remaining authorized capacities under the ~~2012~~2014 and ~~2014~~2015 Plans were calculated based on the cost to purchase the shares but exclude commission expenses in accordance with the authorized Plans.

⁽²⁾ Upon completion of the ASR in the second quarter of 2016, the shares purchased and average cost per share were updated based on the final valuation.

On February 9, 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a third party financial institution to repurchase $500 million of our common stock under our previously announced share repurchase plans. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we paid the full $500 million purchase price and initially received approximately 4.1 million shares representing approximately 80 percent of the shares expected to be repurchased. The unsettled portion of the ASR met the criteria to be accounted for as a forward contract indexed to our stock and qualified as an equity transaction. This resulted in a $100 million reduction to additional paid-in capital during the first quarter of 2016. In the second quarter of 2016, the ASR was completed, and we received approximately 0.6 million additional shares, based on our volume-weighted average stock price during the term of the transaction, less a discount, for a total of 4.7 million shares purchased under the ASR at an average purchase price of $105.50 per share. The settlement resulted in the reclassification of the $100 million reduction of additional paid-in capital recognized in the first quarter of 2016 to treasury stock.

We may continue to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during ~~2015~~2016 to enhance shareholder value and to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation ~~plans and to enhance shareholder value.~~plans.

Dividends

In July ~~2015, the~~2016, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 255.1 percent from ~~$0.78~~$0.975 per share to ~~$0.975~~$1.025 per share. We paid dividends of ~~$452~~$333 million during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September 27,~~July 3, 2016.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures and spending on internal use software for the six months ended July 3, 2016, were $216 million compared to $269 million in the comparable period in 2015. Despite the challenging conditions in many of our markets, we continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend between $600 million and $650 million in 2016 as we continue with product launches and facility improvements. Approximately 50 percent of our capital expenditures are expected to be invested outside of the U.S. in 2016.

Pensions

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 111 percent funded at December 31, 2015. Our U.S. qualified plan, which represents approximately 57 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 119 percent funded and our U.K. plan was 123 percent funded. The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. In the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015~~, 2016, the investment return on our U.S. pension trust was ~~negative 0.8~~9.0 percent while our U.K. pension trust return was ~~0.2~~14.0 percent.Approximately 7778 percent of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 2322 percent of our plan assets are held in less liquid, but market valued

investments, including real estate, private equity and insurance contracts.

~~We sponsor funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans. Contributions to these plans were as follows:~~

The estimated ~~$175~~$146 million of pension contributions for the full year include voluntary contributions of approximately ~~$82 million~~.$102 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. ~~Claims and~~

~~premiums for other postretirement benefits are expected to approximate~~ ~~$40 million~~ in ~~2015~~. We expect our ~~2015~~2016 net periodic pension cost to approximate ~~$63~~$42 million.

Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt

We had $200 million of commercial paper outstanding at July 3, 2016, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows in the intermediate term. Required annual principal payments range from $7 million to $38 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2016).

Restructuring Actions

~~On October 27, 2015, we announced we will reduce~~We executed restructuring actions primarily in the form of professional voluntary and involuntary employee separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2015. We reduced our worldwide ~~professional work force~~workforce by ~~up to 2,000 employees in response to lower demand for our products in the U.S. and key markets around the world.

Management's Assessment of Liquidity

Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Our solid balance sheet and credit ratings enable ready access to credit and the capital markets. We assess our liquidity in terms of our ability to generate adequate cash to fund our operating, investing and financing activities.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, “SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES,” of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our ~~2014~~2015 Form 10-K, which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that often require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and the change would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our senior management has discussed the development and selection of our accounting policies, related accounting estimates and the disclosures set forth below with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Our critical accounting estimates disclosed in the Form 10-K address the estimation of liabilities for warranty programs, accounting for income taxes and pension benefits.

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our ~~2014~~2015 Form 10-K under the caption “APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES.” Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2015.~~2016.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk may be found in Item 7A of our ~~2014~~2015 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our ~~2014~~2015 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended ~~September 27, 2015~~,July 3, 2016, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under such programs as of July 3, 2016, was $579 million.

In November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2014 repurchase plan. On February 9, 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a third party financial institution to repurchase $500 million of our common stock under our previously announced share repurchase plans. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we paid the full $500 million purchase price and initially received approximately 4.1 million shares representing approximately 80 percent of the shares expected to be repurchased. The unsettled portion of the ASR met the criteria to be accounted for as a forward contract indexed to our stock

and qualified as an equity transaction. This resulted in a $100 million reduction to additional paid-in capital during the first quarter of 2016. In the second quarter of 2016, the ASR was completed, and we received approximately 0.6 million additional shares, based on our volume-weighted average stock price during the term of the transaction, less a discount, for a total of 4.7 million shares purchased under the ASR at an average purchase price of $105.50 per share. The settlement resulted in the reclassification of the $100 million reduction of additional paid-in capital recognized in the first quarter of 2016 to treasury stock. We repurchased ~~$136~~a total of $192 million of stock under the ~~2014 Board of Directors~~2015 authorized stock repurchase plan during the three months ended ~~September 27, 2015.~~July 3, 2016, including the ASR shares discussed above.

~~Table of Contents~~

During the three months ended ~~September 27, 2015~~,July 3, 2016, we repurchased ~~800~~13,235 shares from employees in connection with the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. Loans are issued for five-year terms at a fixed interest rate established at the date of purchase and may be refinanced after its initial five-year period for an additional five-year period. Participants must hold shares for a minimum of six months from date of ~~purchase and after~~purchase. If the shares are sold before the loan is paid off, the employee must wait six months before another share purchase may be made. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect repurchase shares if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. There is no maximum amount of shares that we may purchase under this plan.
