Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) today announced second-quarter 2018 sales and revenues of $14.0 billion, compared with $11.3 billion in the second quarter of 2017, a 24 percent increase. Second-quarter 2018 profit per share of $2.82 was a second-quarter record. Profit per share was $1.35 in the second quarter of 2017. Adjusted profit per share in the second quarter of 2018 was $2.97, compared with second-quarter 2017 adjusted profit per share of $1.49.

During the second quarter of 2018, Machinery, Energy & Transportation (ME&T) operating cash flow was $2.1 billion, and the company repurchased $750 million of Caterpillar common stock. In June 2018, the board of directors approved an increase to the quarterly dividend of 10 percent to $0.86 per share. The second quarter of 2018 ended with an enterprise cash balance of $8.7 billion.

"Caterpillar delivered record second-quarter profit per share," said Caterpillar CEO Jim Umpleby. "Our team is doing a great job executing our strategy for profitable growth, focusing on operational excellence, expanded offerings and services."

2018 Outlook

The company is raising its 2018 profit per share outlook to a range of $10.50 to $11.50. Excluding restructuring costs of about $400 million, the company expects adjusted profit per share to be in a range of $11.00 to $12.00. The prior profit per share outlook range was $9.75 to $10.75, and the adjusted profit per share outlook range was $10.25 to $11.25.

"Based on outstanding results in the first half of the year and continued strength in many of our end markets, Caterpillar is again raising our profit outlook for 2018. We remain focused on operational excellence, cost discipline and investing for long-term profitable growth," said Umpleby.

Sales and revenues - Most end markets continue to improve, order rates are healthy, and the backlog remained solid in the quarter. For certain applications, particularly in oil and gas and mining, the company is seeing strong demand and taking orders for delivery well into 2019.

Operating profit - The company is raising the outlook range primarily due to the continued strength in many end markets. Recently imposed tariffs are expected to impact material costs in the second half of the year by approximately $100 million to $200 million, and the company expects supply chain challenges to continue to pressure freight costs. However, the company intends to largely offset these impacts through announced mid-year price increases and using the Operating & Execution Model to further drive operational excellence and structural cost discipline.

The outlook does not include a mark-to-market gain or loss for remeasurement of pension and other postemployment benefit (OPEB) plans, changes to provisional estimates recorded in 2017 for U.S. tax reform, or any impact from future geopolitical risks, including increased trade restrictions above those currently in place.

Share Repurchase; Authorization for New $10 Billion Share Repurchase Program

In January 2014, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of $10.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock. The current program expires at the end of this year. Under this authorization, the company repurchased $1.25 billion in common stock in the first half of 2018, of which $750 million was repurchased in the second quarter. As of June 30, 2018, $4.2 billion remained on the current authorization. The company currently expects share repurchases during the second half of 2018 to be in a similar range as the first half, but the amount could vary depending upon market conditions and investing priorities. Aligned with the cash deployment strategy, the company plans to be in the market for share repurchases on a fairly consistent basis.

In July 2018, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of up to $10.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective January 1, 2019, with no expiration date.

Consolidated Operating Profit

Consolidated Operating Profit Comparison
Second Quarter 2018 vs. Second Quarter 2017

To access this chart, go to http://www.caterpillar.com/en/investors/quarterly-results.html for the downloadable version of Caterpillar 2Q 2018 earnings.

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profit between the second quarter of 2017 (at left) and the second quarter of 2018 (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 2018 was $2.167 billion, compared to $1.184 billion in the second quarter of 2017. The increase of $983 million was mostly due to higher sales volume. Favorable price realization was partially offset by higher manufacturing costs.

Manufacturing costs were higher due to increased freight and material costs, partially offset by lower warranty expense. Freight costs were unfavorable primarily due to supply chain inefficiencies as the industry responds to strong global demand. Material costs were higher primarily due to increases in steel prices.

Lower operating profit from Financial Products and slightly higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses were partially offset by a decrease in restructuring costs.

Other Profit/Loss Items

    --  Other income/expense in the second quarter of 2018 was income of $121
        million, compared with income of $96 million in the second quarter of
        2017. The favorable change was primarily a result of lower currency
        translation and hedging net losses, the impact from pension and OPEB
        plans and other miscellaneous items, mostly offset by the absence of a
        pretax gain of $85 million on the sale of Caterpillar's equity
        investment in IronPlanet in the second quarter of 2017.


    --  The provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2018 reflected
        an estimated annual tax rate of 24 percent, compared to 32 percent for
        the second quarter of 2017, excluding the discrete items discussed in
        the following paragraph. The decrease was primarily due to the reduction
        in the U.S. corporate tax rate beginning January 1, 2018, along with
        other changes in the geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.
        The provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2018 also
        included a $25 million benefit for the release of a valuation allowance
        against the deferred tax assets of a non-U.S. subsidiary. In addition, a
        discrete tax benefit of $9 million was recorded in the second quarter of
        2018, compared to $10 million in the second quarter of 2017, for the
        settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax
        deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense.

Global Workforce

Caterpillar worldwide, full-time employment was about 101,600 at the end of the second quarter of 2018. The increase of about 6,800 full-time employees from the end of the second quarter of 2017 was primarily due to an increase in production employment to support higher volumes. The flexible workforce increased by about 3,300, also primarily due to higher production volumes. In total, the global workforce increased by about 10,100 from the end of the second quarter of 2017.

Construction Industries' total sales were $6.172 billion in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $4.959 billion in the second quarter of 2017. The increase was mostly due to higher sales volume for construction equipment. Sales were also higher due to currency impacts, primarily from a stronger Chinese yuan and euro, partially offset by unfavorable price realization.

Sales increased in all regions.

    --  In North America, the sales increase was mostly due to higher demand for
        construction equipment, primarily due to oil and gas, including
        pipelines, and non-residential construction activities. The sales
        increase was partially offset by unfavorable price realization.
    --  Although construction activities remained weak in Latin America, sales
        were slightly higher in the region.
    --  Sales increased in EAME primarily due to higher demand and the favorable
        impact of currency, mostly from a stronger euro. Higher demand was
        driven by increased construction activities across several countries in
        the region.
    --  Sales in Asia/Pacific were higher across the region, with most of the
        improved demand in China stemming from increased building construction
        and infrastructure investment. The favorable impact of a stronger
        Chinese yuan also contributed to increased sales.

Construction Industries' profit was $1.154 billion in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $900 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in profit was a result of higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable price realization, higher material and freight costs, and increased SG&A/R&D expenses.

Resource Industries' total sales were $2.526 billion in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $690 million from the second quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher demand for equipment across all regions. Commodity prices remained strong in the second quarter of 2018, and the company saw mining customers invest in current fleets and mine expansions, resulting in higher equipment sales. However, the company believes mining customers have not yet commenced full-scale fleet replacements. Increased mine production and higher machine utilization resulted in improved aftermarket parts sales. In addition, global economic growth contributed to stronger sales for heavy construction equipment. Favorable price realization also contributed to increased sales.

Resource Industries' profit was $411 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $99 million in the second quarter of 2017. The improvement was mostly due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization. Manufacturing costs were favorable primarily due to lower warranty expense, partially offset by higher freight costs. The favorable warranty was mostly driven by the absence of a customer warranty program that occurred in the second quarter of 2017.

Energy & Transportation's total sales were $5.724 billion in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $4.768 billion in the second quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume across all applications. Favorable currency impacts, mostly from a stronger euro, and favorable price realization also contributed to the increase in sales.

    --  Oil and Gas - Sales increased due to higher demand in North America for
        gas compression, well servicing and production applications. Higher
        energy prices and growth in U.S. onshore oil and gas drove increased
        sales for reciprocating engines and related aftermarket parts. Sales in
        North America were also positively impacted by the timing of turbine
        project deliveries.
    --  Power Generation - Sales improved mostly due to higher demand in EAME,
        primarily from growth in the gas power generation market and favorable
        currency impacts.
    --  Industrial - Sales were higher in North America and Asia/Pacific due to
        favorable economic conditions.
    --  Transportation - Sales were higher for rail services, driven primarily
        by acquisitions in Asia/Pacific and EAME, and increased rail traffic in
        North America. Marine sales were higher in EAME primarily due to
        activity in the cruise sector and favorable currency.

Energy & Transportation's profit was $1.012 billion in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $694 million in the second quarter of 2017. The improvement was due to higher sales volume, favorable price realization and lower short-term incentive compensation expense. This was partially offset by higher freight costs and increased spending for targeted investments.

Financial Products' segment revenues were $829 million in the second quarter of 2018, an increase of $53 million, or 7 percent, from the second quarter of 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher average financing rates in North America and higher average earning assets in Asia/Pacific and North America, partially offset by lower intercompany lending activity in North America and lower average earning assets in Latin America.

Financial Products' segment profit was $134 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared with $191 million in the second quarter of 2017. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in the provision for credit losses at Cat Financial, partially offset by an increase in net yield on average earning assets and a favorable impact from higher average earning assets.

At the end of the second quarter of 2018, past dues at Cat Financial were 3.16 percent, compared with 2.71 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2017. Write-offs, net of recoveries, in the second quarter of 2018 were $80 million, compared with $26 million in the second quarter of 2017. The increase in write-offs, net of recoveries, was primarily driven by a small number of customers in the Cat Power Finance portfolio and recent collection experience in the Latin America portfolio.

As of June 30, 2018, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $416 million, or 1.48 percent of finance receivables, compared with $403 million, or 1.45 percent of finance receivables at March 31, 2018. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2017 was $365 million, or 1.33 percent of finance receivables.

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $471 million in the second quarter of 2018, a decrease of $123 million from the second quarter of 2017. Corporate items and eliminations include: restructuring costs; corporate-level expenses; timing differences, as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis; 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 decrease in expense was primarily due to lower restructuring costs and cost of sales methodology differences. Restructuring costs were $114 million in the second quarter of 2018, compared to $169 million in the second quarter of 2017.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS


    Q1:                Can you discuss changes in dealer
                       inventories during the second quarter
                       of 2018?


    A:                 Dealer machine and engine inventories
                       increased about $100 million in the
                       second quarter of 2018, compared to a
                       decrease of about $300 million in the
                       second quarter of 2017. During the
                       first six months of 2018, dealer
                       machine and engine inventories
                       increased about $1.3 billion, compared
                       to a decrease of about $100 million in
                       the first six months of 2017.


    Q2:                Can you discuss changes to your order
                       backlog by segment?


    A:                 At the end of the second quarter of
                       2018, the order backlog was $17.7
                       billion, about flat with the first
                       quarter of 2018. Energy &
                       Transportation's order backlog
                       increased, while Construction
                       Industries' order backlog decreased.
                       It is not uncommon for the
                       construction order backlog to decline
                       during the second-quarter selling
                       season. Resource Industries' order
                       backlog was about flat as increased
                       order rates were about offset by
                       increased production and sales.


                       Compared with the second quarter of
                       2017, the order backlog increased
                       about $2.9 billion with increases
                       across the three primary segments.


    Q3:                Can you comment on expense related to
                       your 2018 short-term incentive
                       compensation plans and the impact on
                       the 2018 outlook?


    A:                 Short-term incentive compensation
                       expense is directly related to
                       financial and operational performance,
                       measured against targets set annually.
                       Second-quarter 2018 expense was about
                       $360 million, compared to second-
                       quarter 2017 expense of about $415
                       million.


                      For the full year of 2018, across the
                       current outlook range, short-term
                       incentive compensation expense is
                       expected to be about $1.4 billion,
                       nearly the same as 2017.


    Q4:                Can you give us an update on the
                       quality of Cat Financial's asset
                       portfolio? How are write-offs and
                       past dues performing?


    A:                 Cat Financial's core asset portfolio
                       continues to perform well overall.
                       Write-offs, net of recoveries, were
                       $80 million for the second quarter of
                       2018, primarily driven by a small
                       number of customers in the Cat Power
                       Finance portfolio and recent
                       collection experience in the Latin
                       America portfolio.


                      At the end of the second quarter of
                       2018, past dues at Cat Financial were
                       3.16 percent, mostly impacted by
                       higher delinquencies in the Cat Power
                       Finance and Latin America portfolios.
                       This is below the second-quarter 10-
                       year historical average past dues of
                       3.52 percent.


    Q5:                First-half 2018 sales and revenues
                       were up 27 percent. Is this
                       significant ramp in demand impacting
                       availability?


    A:                 The sharp increase in demand has led to
                       supply chain challenges. Although the
                       company continues to see improvements
                       in material flows, constraints remain
                       for some parts and components that are
                       impacting lead times and availability.

                     revenues, sales volume represents the
                     impact of changes in the quantities sold
                     for Machinery, Energy & Transportation as
                     well as the incremental sales impact of
                     new product introductions, including
                     emissions-related product updates. With
                     respect to operating profit, sales volume
                     represents the impact of changes in the
                     quantities sold for Machinery, Energy &
                     Transportation combined with product mix
                     as well as the net operating profit impact
                     of new product introductions, including
                     emissions-related product updates.
                     Product mix represents the net operating
                     profit impact of changes in the relative
                     weighting of Machinery, Energy &
                     Transportation sales with respect to total
                     sales. The impact of sales volume on
                     segment profit includes inter-segment
                     sales.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following definitions are provided for the non-GAAP financial measures used in this report. These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures.

Adjusted Profit Per Share

The company believes it is important to separately quantify the profit impact of two special items in order for the company's results to be meaningful to readers. These items consist of restructuring costs, which are incurred in the current year to generate longer-term benefits, and a gain on sale of an equity investment in the second quarter of 2017. The company does not consider these items indicative of earnings from ongoing business activities and believes the non-GAAP measure provides investors with useful perspective on underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing the company's period-over-period results.

Reconciliations of adjusted profit per share to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, diluted profit per share, are as follows:
