What CAT's management wrote with each quarter's results: the press release and, when the company files them, its prepared remarks or the call transcript. The call itself is not filed with SEC, so most quarters have the release only.

In the company's own words

IRVING, Texas, Oct. 29, 2026 – Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) announced third- quarter 2026 results.

“Our third-quarter results reflect the durability of our end markets, with strong order rates and a record backlog,” said Caterpillar Chairman and CEO Joe Creed. “Our team continues to execute our strategic priorities in a dynamic environment, positioning us for a strong year while delivering long-term value for our customers and shareholders.”

Sales and revenues for the third quarter of 2026 were $20.7 billion, a 17% increase compared with $17.6 billion in the third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to higher sales volume of $2.2 billion and favorable price realization of $663 million.

Operating profit margin was 20.4% for the third quarter of 2026, compared with 17.3% for the third quarter of 2025. Adjusted operating profit margin was 20.6% for the third quarter of 2026, compared with 17.5% for the third quarter of 2025. Third-quarter 2026 profit per share was $7.13, compared with third-quarter 2025 profit per share of $4.88. Adjusted profit per share in the third quarter of 2026 was $7.20, compared with third-quarter 2025 adjusted profit per share of $4.95.

For the third quarter of 2026, enterprise operating cash flow was $4.4 billion, and the company ended the third quarter with $7.9 billion of enterprise cash.

Financial Products’ segment profit was $264 million in the third quarter of 2026, an increase of $23 million, or 10%, compared with $241 million in the third quarter of 2025.

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

The company believes it is important to separately quantify the profit impact of one significant item in order for the company’s results to be meaningful to readers. This item consists of (i) restructuring costs. The company does not consider this item indicative of earnings from ongoing business activities and believes the non-GAAP measure provides investors with useful perspective on underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing the company’s period-over-period results. The company intends to discuss adjusted profit per share for the fourth quarter and full-year 2026, excluding mark-to-market gains or losses for remeasurement of pension and other postemployment benefit plans.

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

13 The company believes it is important to separately disclose the annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items for the results to be meaningful to readers. The annual effective tax rate is discussed using non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of amounts associated with discrete items recorded fully in the quarter they occur. For the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, these items consist of (i) the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense, (ii) the increase in the annual effective tax rate in 2025 and (iii) the impact of changes in estimates related to prior years in 2025. The company believes the non-GAAP measures will provide investors with useful perspective on underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing the company's period-over-period results.

A reconciliation of the effective tax rate to annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items is below:

The company is providing supplemental consolidating data for the purpose of additional analysis. The data has been grouped as follows:

– The company defines MP&E as it is presented in the supplemental data as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries, excluding Financial Products. MP&E’s information relates to the design, manufacturing and marketing of its products.

– The company defines Financial Products as it is presented in the supplemental data as its finance and insurance subsidiaries, primarily Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial) and Caterpillar Insurance Holdings Inc. (Insurance Services). Financial Products’ information relates to the financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment.

The nature of the MP&E and Financial Products businesses is different, especially with regard to the financial position and cash flow items. Caterpillar management utilizes this presentation internally to highlight these differences. The company believes this presentation will assist readers in understanding its business.

for our customers and shareholders.”

Sales and revenues for the third quarter of 2026 were $20.7 billion, a 17%

• Other income (expense) in the third quarter of 2026 was income of $135
million, compared with income of $208 million in the third quarter of 2025. The
change was primarily driven by unfavorable impacts from total return swap
contracts, partially offset by favorable impacts from commodity hedges.

• The effective tax rate for the third quarter of 2026 was 22.9% compared to
26.7% for the third quarter of 2025. Excluding the discrete items discussed
below, the global estimated annual effective tax rate was 23.0% for the third
quarter of 2026, compared with 24.0% for the third quarter of 2025.

A discrete tax benefit of $3 million was recorded in the third quarter of 2026,
compared with a $10 million benefit in the third quarter of 2025, for the
settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductions in
excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense.

In the third quarter of 2025, the company also recorded a $54 million charge for
an increase in the global estimated annual effective tax rate through the first
six months and a discrete tax charge of $41 million to reflect changes in
estimates related to prior years.

Financial Products’ segment revenues were $1.177 billion in the third quarter of
2026, an increase of $101 million, or 9%, compared with $1.076 billion in the
third quarter of 2025. The increase was primarily due to a favorable impact from

offset by an unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates of $38
million across all regions except Asia/Pacific.

Financial Products’ segment profit was $264 million in the third quarter of
2026, an increase of $23 million, or 10%, compared with $241 million in the
third quarter of 2025. The increase was mainly due to a favorable impact from
higher average earning assets of $52 million, partially offset by higher
provision for credit losses at Cat Financial of $34 million.

At the end of the third quarter of 2026, past dues at Cat Financial were 1.31%,
compared with 1.47% at the end of the third quarter of 2025. Write-offs, net of

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $453 million in the third
quarter of 2026, a decrease of $131 million from the third quarter of 2025. This

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

The company believes it is important to separately quantify the profit impact of
one significant item in order for the company’s results to be meaningful to
readers. This item consists of (i) restructuring costs. The company does not
consider this item indicative of earnings from ongoing business activities and
believes the non-GAAP measure provides investors with useful perspective on
underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing the company’s
period-over-period results. The company intends to discuss adjusted profit per
share for the fourth quarter and full-year 2026, excluding mark-to-market gains
or losses for remeasurement of pension and other postemployment benefit plans.

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

The company believes it is important to separately disclose the annual effective
tax rate, excluding discrete items for the results to be meaningful to readers.
The annual effective tax rate is discussed using non-GAAP financial measures
that exclude the effects of amounts associated with discrete items recorded
fully in the quarter they occur. For the three months ended September 30, 2026
and 2025, these items consist of (i) the settlement of stock-based compensation
awards with associated tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP
compensation expense, (ii) the increase in the annual effective tax rate in 2025
and (iii) the impact of changes in estimates related to prior years in 2025. The
company believes the non-GAAP measures will provide investors with useful
perspective on underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing
the company's period-over-period results.

A reconciliation of the effective tax rate to annual effective tax rate,
excluding discrete items is below:
