NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was founded in 1919 as a corporation in Columbus, Indiana, as one of the first diesel engine manufacturers.  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 over600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and over6,800dealer 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 first quarters of 2014 and 2013 ended on March 30 and March 31, respectively.  The interim periods for both 2014 and 2013 contained 13 weeks.  Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

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

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock.  The options excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013, were as follows:

	Three months ended
	March 30, 2014	March 31, 2013
Options excluded	1,430	563,350

You should read these interim condensed financial statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Our interim period financial results for the three month interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.  The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

In September 2013, we announced our intention to acquire the equity that we do not already own in most of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors over the next three to five years.

8

Cummins Mid-South LLC

On February 14, 2014, we acquired the remaining 62.2 percent interest in Cummins Mid-South LLC (Mid-South) from the former distributor principal. The preliminary purchase consideration was $116 million, which included $32 million in cash and an additional $61 million paid to eliminate outstanding debt. The remaining$23 million will be paid in future periods, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of the acquired entity were included in the Distribution operating segment subsequent to the acquisition date. As a result of this transaction, first quarter 2014 Distribution segment results included a $6 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 37.8 percent ownership interest in Mid-South to fair value in accordance with GAAP. The transaction generated $3 million of goodwill based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Net sales for Mid-South were $368 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This amount is not fully incremental to our consolidated sales as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity.

Cummins Northwest LLC

In January 2013, we acquired the remaining50 percent interest in Cummins Northwest LLC (Northwest) from the former principal for consideration of approximately $18 million.  We immediately formed a new partnership with a new distributor principal and sold 20.01 percent to the new distributor principal. We retained a new ownership in Northwest of79.99 percent. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity included in the Distribution segment subsequent to the acquisition date.  Distribution segment results also included a $7 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 50 percent ownership interest in Northwest to fair value in accordance with GAAP.  The transaction generated $3 million of goodwill.  Net sales for Northwest were $137 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.  This amount is not fully incremental to our consolidated sales as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity.

In July 2013, we acquired the remaining 20.01 percent from the new distributor principal for an additional $4 million. Since the entity was already consolidated, this was accounted for as an equity transaction.

NOTE 4. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

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

	Three months ended
In millions	March 30, 2014		March 31, 2013

Defined contribution pension plans	$	26	$	22

We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions and other postretirement benefit payments during the remainder of 2014 of $91 million and $31 million, respectively.  The $205 million of pension contributions for the full year include voluntary contributions of approximately $111 million.  These contributions and payments may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants.

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 28.5 percent, excluding any one-time items that may arise.  The research tax credit expired December 31, 2013 and has not yet been renewed by Congress. 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.  The effective tax rate for the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, was 29.9 percent.  This tax rate includes a $12 million discrete tax expense attributable primarily to state deferred tax adjustments, as well as a $5 million discrete net tax benefit resulting from a $70 million dividend paid from China earnings generated prior to 2012.

Our effective tax rate for the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, was 27.6 percent. This tax rate included a discrete tax benefit of $28 million attributable to the 2012 research credit reinstated in January 2013, as well as a discrete tax expense of $17 million, which primarily related to the write-off of a deferred tax asset deemed unrecoverable. The increase in the three month effective tax rate from 2013 to 2014 is attributable primarily to one-time discrete tax benefits in 2013 that did not repeat in 2014 and changes in U.S. state tax legislation that unfavorably impacted our 2014 effective tax rate.

We anticipate that we may resolve tax matters related primarily to certain tax credits presently under examination in U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions. As of March 30, 2014, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax

10

benefits may decrease in an amount ranging from $0 to $75 million in the next twelve months due to the resolution of these issues. We do not expect this resolution to have a material impact on our results of operations.

NOTE 7. MARKETABLE SECURITIES

A summary of marketable securities, all of which are classified as current, was as follows:

	March 30, 2014						December 31, 2013
In millions	Cost		Gross unrealized gains/(losses)		Estimated fair value		Cost		Gross unrealized gains/(losses)			Estimated fair value

 ________________________________________________________________________________________

⁽¹⁾The fair value of Level 1 securities is estimated primarily by referencing quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

⁽²⁾The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated primarily using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs, including market transactions and third-party pricing services. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities, and there were no transfers into or out of Level 2 or 3 during the first three months of 2014 and 2013.

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:

	Three months ended

Proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities	$	108	$	187
Gross realized gains from the sale of available-for-sale securities	1		10

At March 30, 2014, the fair value of available-for-sale investments in debt securities that utilize a Level 2 fair value measure by contractual maturity was as follows:

Maturity date	Fair value (in millions)
1 year or less	$	35

_________________________________________________________________________

⁽¹⁾In February 2014, we settled our November 2005 interest rate swap which previously converted our $250 million debt issue, due in 2028, from a fixed rate to a floating rate based on a LIBORspread. We will amortize the $52 million gain realized upon settlement over the remaining 14-year term of related debt.Also, in February 2014, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our September 2013, $500 million debt issue, due in 2023, from a fixed rate of 3.65 percent to a floating rate equal to the one-month LIBORplus a spread. See Note 12, "DERIVATIVES" for further details.

Principal payments required on long-term debt during the next five years are as follows:

NOTE 10. PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY

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

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

13

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

U.S. Distributor Commitments

Our distribution agreements with independent and partially-owned distributors generally have a renewablethree-year term and are restricted to specified territories.  Our distributors develop and maintain a network of dealers with which we have no direct relationship.  Our distributors are permitted to sell other, noncompetitive products only with our consent.  We license all of our distributors to use our name and logo in connection with the sale and service of our products, with no right to assign or sublicense the trademarks, except to authorized dealers, without our consent.  Products are sold to the distributors at standard domestic or international distributor net prices, as applicable.  Net prices are wholesale prices we establish to permit our distributors an adequate margin on their sales.  Subject to local laws, we can generally refuse to renew these agreements upon expiration or terminate them upon written notice for inadequate sales, change in principal ownership and certain other reasons.  Distributors also have the right to terminate the agreements upon60-day notice without cause, or 30-day notice for cause.  Upon termination or failure to renew, we are required to purchase the distributor’s current inventory, signage and special tools and may, at our option purchase other assets of the distributor, but are under no obligation to do so.

Other Guarantees and Commitments

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time we enter into other guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financing, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of third-party obligations.  As of March 30, 2014, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees was $8 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties.  The penalty amounts are less than our purchase commitments and essentially allow the supplier to recover their tooling costs in most instances.  As of March 30, 2014, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $105 million, of which$57 million relates to a contract with an engine parts supplier that extends to 2016.  These arrangements enable us to secure critical components.  We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

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 million at March 30, 2014and$66 million at December 31, 2013.

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.

Joint Venture Commitments

As of March 30, 2014, we have committed to invest an additional$54 million in existing joint ventures, of which the entire $54 million is expected to be funded in 2014.

NOTE 12. DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.  This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments including foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swap contracts, commodity zero-cost collars and interest rate swaps.  These instruments, as further described below, are accounted for as cashflow or fair value hedges or as economic hedges not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Financial derivatives are used expressly for hedging purposes and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes.  When material, we adjust the estimated fair value of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk.  None of our derivative instruments are subject to collateral requirements.  Substantially all of our derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements which provide us with the option to settle certain contracts on a net basis when they settle on the same day with the same currency.  In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event.

Interest Rate Risk

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

In February 2014, we settled our November 2005 interest rate swap which previously converted our $250 million debt issue, due in 2028, from a fixed rate to a floating rate based on a LIBORspread. We will amortize the $52 million gain realized upon settlement over the remaining 14-year term of related debt.

Also, in February 2014, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our September 2013, $500 million debt issue, due in 2023, from a fixed rate of 3.65 percent to a floating rate equal to the one-month LIBORplus a spread. The terms of the swaps mirror those of the debt, with interest paid semi-annually. The swaps were designated, and will be accounted for, as fair value hedges under GAAP. The gain or loss on these derivative instruments, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current income as “Interest expense.”

The following table summarizes these gains and losses for the three month period presented below:

	Three months ended

⁽¹⁾Commodity zero-cost collars are not designated as hedging instruments and had a notional quantity of5,104and5,421 metric tons of copper at March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These instruments are not included in the notional amounts above as they were subject to a USD denominated cap and floor; however, they are included in the total asset and liability balances as appropriate. The average cap and floor at March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $7,468and$6,841 and $7,639and$6,978, respectively.

⁽²⁾Estimates of the fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities above are derived from Level 2 inputs, which are estimated primarily using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs, including market transactions and third-party pricing services. We do not currently have any Level 3 input measures and there were no transfers into or out of Level 2 or 3 during the first three months of 2014 and 2013.

We have elected to present our derivative contracts on a gross basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Had we chosen to present on a net basis, we would have derivatives in a net asset position of$2 million and derivatives in a net liability position of $8 million.

NOTE 14. OPERATING SEGMENTS

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

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

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

The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in 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 certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.  These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal and finance.  We also do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance, divestiture gains or losses or income taxes to individual segments.  Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

Summarized financial information regarding our reportable operating segments for the three month periods is shown in the table below:

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, Chrysler Group, LLC (Chrysler), Volvo AB, Komatsu, Navistar International Corporation, Aggreko plc, Ford Motor Company and MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG.We serve our customers through a network of over600 company-owned and independent distributor locations and over6,800dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

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

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 reductions in sales and pricing of our products.  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 increased 12 percent in the three months ended March 30, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to improvements in North American demand. Revenue in the U.S. and Canada improved by 25 percent driven primarily by increased demand in the North American on-highway markets driving sales in both the Engine and Components segments, as well as improved Distribution segment sales related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2012. These increases were partially offset by the reduced demand in the North American power generation markets as well as the mining market. International economic uncertainty continued in the first quarter of 2014 and our international (excludes the United States and Canada) revenues declined by less than 1 percent with sales down or relatively flat in most markets.  Declines were led by the reduced power generation equipment demand and reduced off-highway mining engine demand with decreased unit shipments of 19 percent and 43 percent, respectively. These decreases were partially offset by improved demand in China.

The following table contains sales and earnings before interest expense, income taxes and noncontrolling interests (EBIT) results by operating segment for the three month periods ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013.  Refer to the section titled “Operating Segment Results” for a more detailed discussion of net sales and EBIT by operating segment, including the reconciliation of segment EBIT to income before taxes.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $338 million, or $1.83 per diluted share, on sales of $4.4 billion for the three month interim reporting period ended March 30, 2014, versus the comparable prior year period with net income attributable to Cummins of $282 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, on sales of $3.9 billion.  The increase in net income and earnings per share was driven by improved gross margin as a percentage of sales, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and a higher effective tax rate of 29.9 percent versus 27.6 percent in the comparable prior year period. The improved gross margin was the result of higher volumes and lower material and commodity costs, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 30, 2014, benefited $0.01 from lower shares outstanding due to first quarter 2014 purchases under the stock repurchase program.

We generated $263 million of operating cash flows for the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, compared to $428 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013.  Refer to the section titled “Operating Activities” in the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.

In September 2013, we announced our intention to acquire the equity that we do not already own in most of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors over the next three to five years. We plan to spend approximately $400 million to $500 million on distributor acquisitions and debt retirements in 2014.

In the first quarter of 2014, we acquired the remaining 62.2 percent interest in Cummins Mid-South LLC (Mid-South) from the former distributor principal. The preliminary purchase consideration was $116 million, which included $32 million in cash, $61 million to eliminate outstanding debt, and $23 million payable in future periods.

In December 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2011 repurchase plan.  We repurchased $419 million under this plan during the first quarter of 2014.

Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at March 30, 2014, was 18.0 percent, compared to 18.1 percent at December 31, 2013.  As of the date of filing this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we had an 'A' credit rating with a 'Stable' outlook from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services, an 'A' credit rating with a 'Stable' outlook from Fitch Ratings and a 'A3' credit rating with a 'Stable' outlook from Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. In addition to the $2.3 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand, we also have access to our credit facilities, if necessary, to meet currently anticipated investment and funding needs.

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 107 percent funded at December 31, 2013.  Our U.S. qualified plan, which represents approximately 55 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 121 percent funded and our United Kingdom (U.K.) plan was 106 percent funded.  We expect to contribute $205 million to our global pension plans in 2014. We anticipate pension and other postretirement benefit cost in 2014 to decrease by approximately $36 million pre-tax, or approximately $0.12 per diluted share, when compared to 2013 due to reduced loss amortizations resulting from improved U.S. asset performance and a higher discount rate, Refer to Note 4, "PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS" for additional information regarding our pension plans.

We expect our effective tax rate for the full year of 2014 to approximate 28.5 percent, excluding any one-time tax items that may arise, compared to 25.1 percent for 2013.

OUTLOOK

Near-Term

In the first quarter of 2014, demand continued to improve in several end markets in North America compared to the same period in the prior year, led by market share gains in the North American medium-duty truck market and increased demand in our emission solutions business. Demand remained weak in most international markets due to lower demand for power generation equipment and engines for mining applications.

We currently expect the following positive trends for the remainder of 2014:

• Market share gains in the North American medium-duty truck market are expected to continue in 2014 and should positively impact sales in both the Engine and Components segments.

• Demand in the North American heavy-duty truck market is expected to continue to improve in 2014.

• We plan to continue acquiring our partially-owned North American distributors, which will increase our Distribution segment revenues and profitability.

• The new Euro VI regulations, effective January 1, 2014, are expected to continue to positively impact sales for aftertreatment products. 

We currently expect the following challenges to our business that may reduce our earnings potential for the remainder of 2014:

• Power generation markets are expected to remain weak.

• Demand in most end markets in India is expected to remain weak.

• Weak economic growth in Brazil could continue to negatively impact our on-highway and power generation businesses.

• Demand in certain European markets could remain weak due to continued economic uncertainty.

• Growth in emerging markets could be negatively impacted if emission regulations are not strictly enforced.

• Foreign currency volatility could continue to put pressure on earnings.

• Domestic and international mining markets could continue to deteriorate.

Long-Term

We believe that, over the longer term, there will be economic improvements in most of our current markets and that our opportunities for long-term profitable growth will continue as the result of the following four macroeconomic trends that should benefit our businesses:

• tightening emissions controls across the world;

• infrastructure needs in emerging markets;

• energy availability and cost issues and

• globalization of industries like ours.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended March 30, 2014, increased versus the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to increased demand and the impact from the acquisitions of the partially-owned North American distributors since March 31, 2013. The primary drivers by segment were as follows:

• Engine segment sales increased by 11 percent due to increased demand in the North American on-highway markets, partially offset by lower demand in power generation and industrial markets.

• Components segment sales increased by 21 percent and increased in all businesses and in most markets primarily due to increased demand in the North American on-highway markets and increased demand in Europe and China.

• Distribution segment sales increased by 22 percent primarily due to the acquisitions of the North American distributors.

These increases were partially offset by the following:

• Power Generation segment sales decreased by 14 percent and decreased in all businesses, mainly due to lower volumes within the power systems and the power products businesses.

• Foreign currency fluctuations unfavorably impacted sales.

A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Sales to international markets, based on location of customers, for the three months ended March 30, 2014, were 44 percent of total net sales compared with 50 percent of total net sales for the comparable period in 2013.

26

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased for the three months ended March 30, 2014, versus the comparable period in 2013, and increased as a percentage of sales by 0.9 percentage points as higher volumes, lower material and commodity costs and lower product coverage were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. 

The provision for base warranties issued as a percent of sales for the three months ended March 30, 2014, was 1.8 percent compared to 2.5 percent for the comparable period in 2013. This change was primarily driven by a reduction in base warranty provisions for products sold, partially offset by higher engine volumes in the first quarter of 2014. A more detailed discussion of margin by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 30, 2014, increased versus the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to increased compensation and related expenses of $18 million, higher consulting expenses and acquisitions in our Distribution segment. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses for the three months ended March 30, 2014, increased versus the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to increased compensation and related expenses of $8 million, partially offset by decreased consulting expenses of $3 million. Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation.  Research activities continue to focus on development of new products to meet future emission standards around the world and improvements in fuel economy performance.

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income From Investees

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees increased for the three months ended March 30, 2014, versus the comparable period in 2013. The primarily drivers were as follows:

	Increase/(Decrease)
	March 30, 2014 vs. March 31, 2013
In millions	Three months ended
Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. (Light-duty)	$	5

Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. (Heavy-duty)	(3		)
Other equity income	5
Cummins share of net income	6
Royalty and interest income	2
Equity, royalty and interest income from investees	$	8

The overall increase for the three months ended March 30, 2014, was primarily due to increased demand at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. (Light-duty) and Dongfeng Cummins Engine Comapany, Ltd., partially offset by the consolidation of the partially-owned North American distributors since March 31, 2013 and increased expenses at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. (Heavy-duty) as we continue to launch this new joint venture.

As we execute our plan to acquire partially-owned distributors, equity earnings for our North American distributors will continue to decrease as the earnings are now included in our consolidated results. See Note 3, “ACQUISITIONS,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

⁽¹⁾ See Note 3, “ACQUISITIONS,” to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 28.5 percent, excluding any one-time items that may arise.  The research tax credit expired December 31, 2013 and has not yet been renewed by Congress. 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.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 30, 2014, was 29.9 percent.  This tax rate includes a $12 million discrete tax expense primarily attributable to state deferred tax adjustments, as well as a $5 million discrete net tax benefit resulting from a $70 million dividend paid from China earnings generated prior to 2012.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013, was 27.6 percent. This tax rate included a discrete tax benefit of $28 million attributable to the 2012 research credit reinstated in January 2013 as well as a discrete tax expense of $17 million, which primarily related to the write-off of a deferred tax asset deemed unrecoverable. The increase in the three month effective tax rate from 2013 to 2014 is attributable primarily to one-time discrete tax benefits in 2013 that did not repeat in 2014 and changes in U.S. state tax legislation that unfavorably impacted our 2014 effective tax rate.

28

Net Income Attributable to Cummins Inc. and Diluted Earnings Per Share Attributable to Cummins Inc.

Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins for the three months ended March 30, 2014, increased versus the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to higher gross margin, mainly driven by higher volumes and lower material and commodity costs, particularly in the Engine and Components segments. These increases were partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses, a higher effective tax rate of 29.9 percent in the first quarter of 2014 versus 27.6 percent in the first quarter of 2013 and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 30, 2014, benefited $0.01 from lower shares outstanding due to first quarter 2014 purchases under the stock repurchase program.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

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

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

Total unit shipments	151,100	123,700	27,400		22	%

Sales

Engine segment sales for the three months ended March 30, 2014, increased versus the comparable period in 2013.  The following were the primary drivers by market:

• Medium-duty truck and bus sales increased primarily due to market share gains in the North American medium-duty truck market and increased demand in the North American bus markets due to market share gains and lower sales in the first quarter of 2013, as a result of pre-buy activity in 2012 ahead of the implementation of the emission regulations beginning in the first quarter of 2013.

• Light-duty automotive and RV sales increased primarily due to a 31 percent improvement of units shipped to Chrysler and increased recreational vehicle engine sales.

• Heavy-duty truck engine sales increased due to improved demand in North America.

The increases above were partially offset by the following:

• Stationary power engine sales decreased due to lower demand in power generation markets.

• Industrial market sales decreased primarily due to a 40 percent reduction in global mining shipments. partially offset by improved commercial marine shipments. 

Total on-highway-related sales for the three months ended March 30, 2014, were 66 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 59 percent for the comparable period in 2013.

Segment EBIT

Engine segment EBIT for the three months ended March 30, 2014, increased versus the comparable period in 2013.  Higher gross margin and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees were partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses and higher research, development and engineering expenses. Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:

	Three months ended
	March 30, 2014 vs. March 31, 2013
	Favorable/(Unfavorable) Change
In millions	Amount			Percent		Percentage point change as a percent of sales

Research, development and engineering expenses	(11		)	(10	)%	0.1
Equity, royalty and interest income from investees	9			39	%	0.2

The increase in gross margin for the three months ended March 30, 2014, versus the comparable period in 2013, was primarily due to increased volumes, lower material and commodity costs, lower product coverage and favorable foreign currency fluctuations.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased headcount, higher discretionary spending and higher variable compensation. The increase in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to higher discretionary spending to support new product initiatives and higher variable compensation.  The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due to increased earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Company, Ltd (Light-duty) and Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd.

Total sales	$	1,230	$	1,018	$	212	21	%

Sales

Components segment sales for the three months ended March 30, 2014, increased versus the comparable period in 2013 in all lines of businesses and across most markets. The following were the primary drivers by market:

• Emission solutions business sales increased primarily due to improved demand in the North American on-highway markets and increased demand for our products in Europe and China to meet new emissions requirements.

• Turbo technologies business sales increased as a result of improved on-highway demand in North America, Europe and China.

These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.

Segment EBIT

Components segment EBIT for the three months ended March 30, 2014, increased versus the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to higher gross margin, lower research, development and engineering expenses and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:

	Three months ended

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees	2			29	%	—

31

The increase in gross margin for the three months ended March 30, 2014, versus the comparable period in 2013, was primarily due to higher volumes, mainly in the emission solutions and turbo technologies businesses, lower material and commodity costs, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to increased headcount and higher discretionary spending. The decrease in research, development and engineering expenses was primarily due to lower discretionary spending, partially offset by increased headcount. The increase in equity, royalty and interest income from investees was primarily due to increased earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Emission Solutions Co., Ltd.

Sales

Power Generation segment sales for the three months ended March 30, 2014, decreased versus the comparable period in 2013 in all lines of businesses and across most markets. The following were the primary drivers by business:

• Power systems sales decreased primarily due to reduced demand in North America, Asia and India, partially offset by increased demand in Russia.

• Power products sales decreased primarily due to lower demand in India and North America and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by increased demand in Europe.

• Alternators sales decreased primarily due to lower demand in Western Europe and India.

• Power solutions sales decreased primarily due to lower volumes in Africa.

Segment EBIT

Power Generation segment EBIT for the three months ended March 30, 2014, decreased versus the comparable period in 2013 primarily due to lower gross margin and higher selling, general and administrative expenses, partially offset by increased equity, royalty and interest income from investees. Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:

Research, development and engineering expenses	(1		)	(6	)%	(0.6	)
Equity, royalty and interest income from investees	1			14	%	0.4

The decrease in gross margin for the three months ended March 30, 2014, versus the comparable period in 2013, was primarily due to lower volumes and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, partially offset by lower warranty accruals and favorable product mix.  The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to a one-time legal reserve released in the first quarter of 2013 and higher spending on strategic projects.

Sales

Distribution segment sales for the three months ended March 30, 2014, increased versus the comparable period in 2013 primarily due to $151 million of segment sales related to the consolidation of partially-owned North American distributors since December 31, 2012, $10 million of segment sales related to the 2013 acquisition of a partially-owned international distributor and $53 million of increased sales in North America and Europe. These increases were partially offset by decreased demand in NE/SE Asia/South Pacific and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations.

Segment EBIT

Distribution segment EBIT for the three months ended March 30, 2014, decreased versus the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. The consolidation of North American distributors increased gross margin, increased selling, general and administrative expenses and reduced equity, royalty and interest income from investees.  Amortization of acquisition related intangible assets also negatively impacted EBIT for the three months ended March 30, 2014. These acquisitions resulted in a $6 million gain for the three months endedMarch 30,2014, related to the remeasurement of our pre-existing 37.8 percent ownership interest in Mid-South in the first quarter of 2014, compared to a $7 million gain related to the remeasurement of our pre-exisiting 50 percent ownership interest in Northwest in the three months ended March 31, 2013. The gains are included in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. EBIT as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 30, 2014, was 8.0 percent compared to 12.2 percent for the comparable period in 2013. Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management’s Assessment of Liquidity

Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong.  Our solid balance sheet and credit ratings enable us to continue to have 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.  We generate significant ongoing cash flow, which has been used, in part, to fund capital expenditures, pay dividends on our common stock, fund repurchases of common stock and make acquisitions.  Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity.  As of March 30, 2014, other sources of liquidity include:

• cash and cash equivalents of $2.2 billion, of which approximately 49 percent is located in the U.S. and 51 percent is located primarily in the U.K., China, Singapore and Belgium,

• marketable securities of $129 million, of which 76 percent is located in India and 24 percent is located in the U.S. and the majority of which could be liquidated into cash within a few days,

• revolving credit facility with $1.7 billion available, net of letters of credit and

• international and other domestic credit facilities with $318 million available.

• We have a current shelf registration with the Securities Exchange Commission under which 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.

We believe our liquidity provides us with the financial flexibility needed to fund working capital, capital expenditures, projected pension obligations, dividend payments, common stock repurchases, acquisitions of our North American distributors and debt service obligations. We continue to generate cash from operations in the U.S. and maintain access to $1.7 billion of our revolver as noted above.

A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S.  As of March 30, 2014, the total of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was $1.2 billion, the majority of which was located in the U.K., China, Singapore, India and Belgium.  The geographic location of our cash and marketable securities aligns well with our business growth strategy.  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 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. In the first quarter of 2014, we repatriated $70 million of China earnings generated prior to 2012 through a dividend.

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 $56 million over each of the next five years.

Working Capital Summary

We fund our working capital with cash from operations and short-term borrowings 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.

Current ratio	2.39		2.57
Days’ sales in receivables	58		54
Inventory turnover	5.2		5.4

Current assets decreased 2 percent compared to December 31, 2013, primarily due to decreases in cash and cash equivalents as a result of $419 million of share repurchases in the first quarter of 2014 and a decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets, partially offset by increases in accounts and notes receivable and inventories.

Current liabilities increased 6 percent compared to December 31, 2013, primarily due to an increase in accounts payable trade, partially offset by a decrease in accrued compensation, benefits and retirement costs.

Days’ sales in receivables increased 4 days versus December 31, 2013.  The increase was primarily due to higher accounts receivable balances.

Inventory turnover decreased 0.2 turns versus December 31, 2013.  The decrease was due to inventory acquired as part of the acquisition of Mid-South in the first quarter of 2014, certain businesses restocking from lower inventory levels in December and some businesses increasing inventory for anticipated demand improvements in the second quarter of 2014.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents decreased $521 million during the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, compared to a $114 millionincrease in cash and cash equivalents during the comparable period in 2013.  Cash and cash equivalents were impacted as follows.

Net cash provided by operating activities	$	263		$	428		$	(165	)

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased for the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, versus the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to unfavorable working capital fluctuations and higher pension contributions in excess of expense, partially offset by higher consolidated net income.  During the first three months of 2014, the higher working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $158 million compared to a cash inflow of $14 million in the comparable period in 2013.  This change of $172 million was primarily driven by an increase in accounts and notes receivable and a smaller decrease in other current assets, partially offset by an increase in accounts payable in the three months endedMarch 30, 2014 versus the comparable period in 2013. The change in other current assets was largely due to lower net tax payments of $192 million as the result of the receipt of an income tax refund in 2013.

Pensions

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 three months of 2014, the investment return on our U.S. pension trust was 4.7 percent while our U.K. pension trust return was 1.8 percent.Approximately 77 percent of our pension plan assets are invested in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities.  The remaining 23 percent of our plan assets are invested in less liquid, but market valued investments, including real estate, private equity and insurance contracts. We made $114 million of pension contributions in the three months ended, and we anticipate making total contributions of approximately $205 million to our pension plans in 2014, which include voluntary contributions of approximately $111 million.  Expected contributions to our defined benefit pension plans in 2014 will meet or exceed the current funding requirements.  Claims and premiums for other postretirement benefits are expected to approximate $43 million in 2014.  The $114 million of pension contributions in the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, included voluntary contributions of $39 million.  These contributions and payments include payments from our funds either to increase pension plan assets or to make direct payments to plan participants.

Net cash used in investing activities increased for the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, versus the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to higher cash investment for the acquisition of businesses in 2014 and lower net investments in marketable securities, partially offset by favorable settlement of derivatives not designated as hedges and lower investments in and advances to equity investees.

In September 2013, we announced our intention to acquire the equity that we do not already own in most of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors over the next three to five years. We plan to spend approximately $400 million to $500 million on distributor acquisitions and debt retirements in 2014.

Capital expenditures for the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, were $107 million compared to $114 million in the comparable period in 2013.  Despite the challenging economies around the world, we continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions.  We plan to spend between $700 million and $800 million in 2014 as we continue with product launches and facility improvements and prepare for future emission standards.  Over 50 percent of our capital expenditures are expected to be invested outside of the U.S. in 2014.As of March 30, 2014, we have committed to invest an additional$54 million in existing joint ventures, of which the entire $54 million is expected to be funded in 2014.

Net cash used in financing activities increased for the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, versus the comparable period in 2013, primarily due to the repurchase of common stock and payments on short-term borrowings.

Our total debt was $1.7 billion as of March 30, 2014, compared with $1.7 billion as of December 31, 2013.  Total debt as a percent of our total capital (total capital defined as debt plus equity) was 18.0 percent at March 30, 2014, compared with 18.1 percent at December 31, 2013.

In December 2012, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2011 repurchase plan.In 2014, we made the following quarterly purchases under the 2012 repurchase program as indicated:

___________________________________________________________

⁽¹⁾The remaining authorized capacity is calculated based on the cost to purchase the shares, but excludes commission expenses according to the Board authorization.

We may continue to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2014 to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans and to enhance shareholder value.

Credit Ratings

A number of our contractual obligations and financing agreements, such as our revolving credit facility have restrictive covenants and/or pricing modifications that may be triggered in the event of downward revisions to our corporate credit rating.  There were no downgrades of our credit ratings in the first quarter of 2014 that have impacted these covenants or pricing modifications.  In April 2014, Fitch reaffirmed our rating.

Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, are subject to change and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.  In addition, we undertake no obligation to update disclosures concerning our credit ratings, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Our ratings and outlook from each of the credit rating agencies as of the date of filing are shown in the table below.

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 2013 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.  We believe our critical accounting estimates include those addressing 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 2013 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 three months of 2014.

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 2013 Form 10-K.  There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2013 Form 10-K.  Further information regarding financial instruments and risk management is discussed in Note 12, “DERIVATIVES,” in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

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 March 30, 2014, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.Legal Proceedings

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.

ITEM 1A.Risk Factors

Set forth below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are some of the principal risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual business results to differ materially from any forward-looking statements contained in this Report and could individually, or in combination, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial position or cash flows. These risk factors should be considered in addition to our cautionary comments concerning forward-looking statements in this Report, including statements related to markets for our products and trends in our business that involve a number of risks and uncertainties. Our separate section above, "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION," should be considered in addition to the following statements.

A sustained slowdown or significant downturn in our markets could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

Global economic uncertainty continued throughout 2013 as we experienced declining or relatively flat demand in many global markets. If the global economy or some of our significant markets encounter a sustained slowdown; depending upon the length, duration and severity of such a slowdown, our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow would almost certainly be materially adversely affected. Specifically, our revenues would likely decrease, we may be forced to consider further restructuring actions, we may need to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts, our days sales outstanding may increase and we could experience impairments to assets of certain of our businesses.

A slowdown in infrastructure development could adversely affect our business.

Infrastructure development has been a significant driver of our business in recent years, especially in the emerging markets of China and Brazil. General weakness in economic growth or the perception that infrastructure has been overbuilt could lead to a decline in infrastructure spending. Any sustained downturns in infrastructure development that result from these or other circumstances could adversely affect our business.

Unpredictability in the adoption, implementation and enforcement of increasingly stringent emission standards by multiple jurisdictions around the world could adversely affect our business.

Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emission and noise, including standards imposed by the EPA, the European Union, state regulatory agencies (such as the CARB) and other regulatory agencies around the world. We have made, and will be required to continue to make, significant capital and research expenditures to comply with these emission standards. Developing engines to meet numerous changing government regulatory requirements, with different implementation timelines and emission requirements, makes developing engines efficiently for multiple markets complicated and could result in substantial additional costs that may be difficult to recover in certain markets. In some cases, we may be required to develop new products to comply with new regulations, particularly those relating to air emission. While we have met previous deadlines, our ability to comply with other existing and future regulatory standards will be essential for

42

us to maintain our position in the engine markets we serve. The successful development and introduction of new and enhanced products in order to comply with new regulatory requirements are subject to other risks, such as delays in product development, cost over-runs and unanticipated technical and manufacturing difficulties.

In addition to these risks, the nature and timing of government implementation and enforcement of increasingly stringent emission standards in emerging markets are unpredictable and subject to change, or delays which could result in the products we developed or modified to comply with these standards becoming unnecessary or becoming necessary later than expected and in some cases negating our competitive advantage. This in turn can delay, diminish or eliminate the expected return on capital and research expenditures that we have invested in such products and may adversely affect our perceived competitive advantage in being an early, advanced developer of compliant engines.

We derive significant income from investees that we do not directly control.

Our net income includes significant equity, royalty and interest income from investees that we do not directly control. For 2013, we recognized $361 million of equity, royalty and interest income from investees, compared to $384 million in 2012. The majority of our equity, royalty and interest income from investees is from our nine unconsolidated North American distributors and from two of our joint ventures in China, Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. (DCEC) and Chongqing Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. (CCEC) at December 31, 2013. Our equity ownership interests in our unconsolidated North American distributors ranged from 37 percent to 50 percent at December 31, 2013. We have 50 percent equity ownership interests in DCEC and CCEC. As a result, although a significant percentage of our net income is derived from these unconsolidated entities, we do not unilaterally control their management or their operations, which puts a substantial portion of our net income at risk from the actions or inactions of these entities. A significant reduction in the level of contribution by these entities to our net income would likely have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our truck manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) customers may not continue to outsource their engine supply needs.

Several of our engine customers, including PACCAR, Volvo AB, Navistar, Chrysler and DCEC, are truck manufacturers or OEMs that manufacture engines for some of their own products. Despite their own engine manufacturing abilities, these customers have historically chosen to outsource certain types of engine production to us due to the quality of our engine products, our emission capabilities, our systems integration, their customers' preferences, their desire for cost reductions, their desire for eliminating production risks and their desire to maintain company focus. However, there can be no assurance that these customers will continue to outsource, or outsource as much of, their engine production in the future. Increased levels of OEM vertical integration could result from a number of factors, such as shifts in our customers' business strategies, acquisition by a customer of another engine manufacturer, the inability of third-party suppliers to meet product specifications and the emergence of low-cost production opportunities in foreign countries. Any significant reduction in the level of engine production outsourcing from our truck manufacturer or OEM customers could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

A downturn in the North American truck industry or other factors negatively affecting any of our truck OEM customers could materially adversely impact our results of operations.

We make significant sales of engines and components to a few large truck OEMs in North America. If the North American truck market suffers a significant downturn, or if one of our large truck OEM customers experienced financial distress or bankruptcy, such circumstance would likely lead to significant reductions in our revenues and earnings, commercial disputes, receivable collection issues, and other negative consequences that could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations.

The discovery of any significant problems with our recently-introduced engine platforms in North America could materially adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

The EPA and CARB have certified all of our 2012/2013 on-highway and off-highway engines, which utilize SCR technology to meet requisite emission levels. We introduced SCR technology into our engine platforms in 2010. The effective performance of SCR technology and the overall performance of these engine platforms impact a number of our operating segments and remain crucial to our success in North America. While these 2010 and 2013 engine platforms have performed well in the field, the discovery of any significant problems in these platforms could result in recall campaigns, increased warranty costs, reputational risk and brand risk, and could materially adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

43

We are vulnerable to supply shortages from single-sourced suppliers.

During 2013, we single sourced approximately 60 to 70 percent of the total types of parts in our product designs. Any delay in our suppliers' deliveries may adversely affect our operations at multiple manufacturing locations, forcing us to seek alternative supply sources to avoid serious disruptions. Delays may be caused by factors affecting our suppliers, including capacity constraints, labor disputes, economic downturns, availability of credit, the impaired financial condition of a particular supplier, suppliers' allocations to other purchasers, weather emergencies, natural disasters or acts of war or terrorism. Any extended delay in receiving critical supplies could impair our ability to deliver products to our customers and our results of operations.

Our products are exposed to variability in material and commodity costs.

Our businesses establish prices with our customers in accordance with contractual time frames; however, the timing of material and commodity market price increases may prevent us from passing these additional costs on to our customers through timely pricing actions. Additionally, higher material and commodity costs around the world may offset our efforts to reduce our cost structure. While we customarily enter into financial transactions and contractual pricing adjustment provisions with our customers that attempt to address some of these risks (notably with respect to copper, platinum and palladium), there can be no assurance that commodity price fluctuations will not adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, while the use of commodity price hedging instruments may provide us with some protection from adverse fluctuations in commodity prices, by utilizing these instruments we potentially forego the benefits that might result from favorable fluctuations in price. As a result, higher material and commodity costs, as well as hedging these commodity costs during periods of decreasing prices, could result in declining margins.

Our products are subject to recall for performance or safety-related issues.

Our products may be subject to recall for performance or safety-related issues. Product recalls subject us to harm to our reputation, loss of current and future customers, reduced revenue and product recall costs. Product recall costs are incurred when we decide, either voluntarily or involuntarily, to recall a product through a formal campaign to solicit the return of specific products due to a known or suspected performance issue. Any significant product recalls could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Failure to successfully integrate the planned acquisitions of the equity we do not already own of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors could have an adverse impact on our realization of expected benefits to our financial condition and results of operations.

The completion of our plan to acquire all of the equity we do not already own of our partially- owned United States and Canadian distributors (each, an ''Acquisition,'' and collectively, the ''Acquisitions''), is subject to various risks, including, among other things, our ability to realize the full extent of the incremental revenue, earnings, cash flow, cost savings and other benefits that we expect to realize as a result of the completion of the Acquisitions within the anticipated time frame, or at all; the costs that are expected to be incurred in connection with evaluating, negotiating, consummating and integrating the Acquisitions; the ability of management to focus adequate time and attention on evaluating, negotiating, consummating and integrating the Acquisitions; and diversion of management's attention from base strategies and objectives, both during and after the acquisition process. Further, as with all merger and acquisition activity, there can be no assurance that we will be able to negotiate, consummate and integrate the Acquisitions in accordance with our plans. Those persons holding the third-party ownership of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors may not agree to our acquisition proposals, including the terms and conditions thereof, and may claim that our proposals to exercise certain contractual rights that we have with respect to acquiring such distributors may violate applicable state franchise and distributor laws, which may prohibit, delay or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of such Acquisitions on terms and conditions that are less favorable to us than we currently anticipate, or not at all.

After completion of the Acquisitions, we may fail to realize the expected enhanced revenue, earnings, cash flow, cost savings and other benefits.

The financial success of the Acquisitions will depend, in substantial part, on our ability to successfully combine our business with the businesses of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors, transition operations and realize the expected enhanced revenue, earnings, cash flow, cost savings and other benefits from such Acquisitions. While we currently believe that these enhanced revenue, earnings, cash flow, cost savings and other benefits estimates are achievable, it is possible that we will be unable to achieve these objectives within the anticipated time frame, or at all. Our enhanced revenue, earnings, cash flow, cost savings and other benefits estimates also depend on our ability to execute and integrate the Acquisitions in a manner that permits those benefits to be realized. If these estimates turn out to be incorrect or we are not able to execute our integration strategy successfully, the anticipated enhanced revenue, earnings, cash flow, cost savings and other benefits, resulting from the Acquisitions may not be realized fully, or at all, or may take longer to realize than expected.

44

Specifically, issues that must be addressed in integration in order to realize the anticipated benefits and costs savings of the Acquisitions include, among other things:

• maintaining and improving management and employee engagement, morale, motivation and productivity;

• recruiting and retaining executives and key employees;

• retaining and strengthening relationships with existing customers and attracting new customers;

• conforming standards, controls, procedures and policies, business cultures and compensation structures among the companies;

• consolidating and streamlining corporate and administrative infrastructures;

• consolidating sales, customer service and marketing operations;

• identifying and eliminating redundant and underperforming operations and assets;

• integrating the distribution, sales, customer service and administrative support activities among the companies;

• integrating information technology systems, including those systems managing data security for sensitive employee, customer and vendor information, and diverse network applications across the companies;

• managing the broadened competitive landscape, including responding to the actions taken by competitors in response to the Acquisitions;

• coordinating geographically dispersed organizations;

• managing the additional business risks of businesses that we have not previously directly managed; and

• managing tax costs or inefficiencies associated with integrating our operations following completion of the Acquisitions.

Delays encountered in the process of integrating the Acquisitions could negatively impact our revenues, expenses, operating results, cash flow and financial condition after completion of the Acquisitions, including through the loss of current customers or suppliers. Although significant benefits, such as enhanced revenue, earnings, cash flow and cost savings, are expected to result from the Acquisitions, there can be no assurance that we will realize any of these anticipated benefits after completion of any or all of the Acquisitions.

Additionally, significant costs are expected to be incurred in connection with the integration of the Acquisitions. We continue to assess the magnitude of these costs and additional unanticipated costs may be incurred, including costs associated with assuming our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors' exposure to outstanding and anticipated legal claims and other liabilities. Although we believe that the elimination of duplicative costs, as well as the realization of other synergies and efficiencies related to the integration of the Acquisitions, will offset incremental integration-related costs over time, no assurances can be given that this net benefit will be achieved in the near term, or at all. In addition, the process of integrating the operations of our partially- owned United States and Canadian distributors may distract management and employees from delivering against base strategies and objectives, which could negatively impact other segments of our business following the completion of the Acquisitions.

Furthermore, the Acquisitions and the related integration efforts, could result in the departure of key managers and employees, and we may fail to identify managerial resources to fill both executive-level and lower-level managerial positions and replace key employees, including those who oversee customer relationships, any of which could have a negative impact on our business, and, prior to the completion of the Acquisitions, the businesses of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors.

The completion of the Acquisitions may be subject to the receipt of certain required clearances or approvals from governmental entities that could prevent or delay their completion or impose conditions that could have an adverse effect on us.

Completion of each of the Acquisitions may be conditioned upon the receipt of certain governmental clearances or approvals, including, but not limited to, the expiration or termination of any applicable waiting periods under U.S. competition and trade laws with respect to such Acquisitions as well as applicable state regulations and restrictions. There can be no assurance that these clearances and approvals will be obtained, and, additionally, government authorities from which these clearances and approvals are required may impose conditions on the completion of any, or all, of the Acquisitions or require changes to their respective terms. If, in order to obtain any clearances or approvals required to complete any of the Acquisitions, we become

45

subject to any material conditions after completion of any of such Acquisitions, our business and results of operations after completion of any of such Acquisitions may be adversely affected.

We face significant competition in the markets we serve.

The markets in which we operate are highly competitive. We compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell similar products. We primarily compete in the market with diesel engines and related diesel products; however, new technologies continue to be developed for gasoline, natural gas and other technologies and we will continue to face new competition from these expanding technologies. Our products primarily compete on the basis of price, performance, fuel economy, speed of delivery, quality and customer support. We also face competitors in some emerging markets who have established local practices and long standing relationships with participants in these markets. There can be no assurance that our products will be able to compete successfully with the products of other companies and in other markets. For a more complete discussion of the competitive environment in which each of our segments operates, see “Operating Segments” in “Item 1 Business” in our 2013 Form 10-K.

Increasing global competition among our customers may affect our existing customer relationships and restrict our ability to benefit from some of our customers' growth.

As our customers in emerging markets continue to grow in size and scope, they are increasingly seeking to export their products to other countries. This has meant greater demand for our advanced engine technologies to help these customers meet the more stringent emissions requirements of developed markets, as well as greater demand for access to our distribution systems for purposes of equipment servicing. As these emerging market customers enter into and begin to compete in more developed markets, they may increasingly begin to compete with our existing customers in these markets. Our further aid to emerging market customers could adversely affect our relationships with developed market customers and, as a result, we may be pressured to restrict sale or support of some of our products in the areas of increased competition. In addition, to the extent the competition does not correspond to overall growth in demand, we may see little or no benefit from this type of expansion by our emerging market customers.

We are exposed to, and may be adversely affected by, information technology security threats and sophisticated "cyber attacks."

We rely on our information technology systems and networks in connection with various of our business activities. Some of these networks and systems are managed by third party service providers and are not under our direct control. Our operations routinely involve receiving, storing, processing and transmitting sensitive information pertaining to our business, customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and other sensitive matters. Information technology security threats, including security breaches, computer malware and other “cyber attacks” are increasing in both frequency and sophistication. These threats could create financial liability, subject us to legal or regulatory sanctions or damage our reputation with customers, dealers, suppliers and other stakeholders. We continuously seek to maintain a robust program of information security and controls, but the impact of a material information technology event could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

We are exposed to political, economic and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business.

Approximately 52 percent of our net sales for 2013 and 53 percent in 2012 were attributable to customers outside the U.S. Accordingly, our business is subject to the political, economic and other risks that are inherent in operating in numerous countries. These risks include:

• the difficulty of enforcing agreements and collecting receivables through foreign legal systems;

• trade protection measures and import or export licensing requirements;

• the imposition of taxes on foreign income and tax rates in certain foreign countries that exceed those in the U.S.;

• the imposition of tariffs, exchange controls or other restrictions;

• difficulty in staffing and managing widespread operations and the application of foreign labor regulations;

• required compliance with a variety of foreign laws and regulations; and

• changes in general economic and political conditions in countries where we operate, particularly in emerging markets.

As we continue to operate our business globally, our success will depend, in part, on our ability to anticipate and effectively manage these and other related risks. There can be no assurance that the consequences of these and other factors relating to our multinational operations will not have a material adverse effect upon us.

46

Unanticipated changes in our effective tax rate, the adoption of new tax legislation or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could adversely affect our profitability.

We are subject to income taxes in the U.S. and numerous international jurisdictions. Our income tax provision and cash tax liability in the future could be adversely affected by changes in the distribution of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes to our assertions regarding permanent re-investment of our foreign earnings, changes in tax laws and the discovery of new information in the course of our tax return preparation process. The carrying value of deferred tax assets, which are predominantly in the U.S., is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable income in the U.S. We are also subject to ongoing tax audits. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve and can be highly judgmental. Tax authorities may disagree with certain tax reporting positions taken by us and, as a result, assess additional taxes against us. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. The amounts ultimately paid upon resolution of these or subsequent tax audits could be materially different from the amounts previously included in our income tax provision and, therefore, could have a material impact on our tax provision.

Our global operations are subject to laws and regulations that impose significant compliance costs and create reputational and legal risk.

Due to the international scope of our operations, we are subject to a complex system of commercial and trade regulations around the world. Recent years have seen an increase in the development and enforcement of laws regarding trade compliance and anti-corruption such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws from other countries. Our numerous foreign subsidiaries, affiliates and joint venture partners are governed by laws, rules and business practices that differ from those of the U.S. The activities of these entities may not comply with U.S. laws or business practices or our Code of Business Conduct. Violations of these laws may result in severe criminal or civil sanctions, could disrupt our business, and result in an adverse effect on our reputation, business and results of operations or financial condition. We cannot predict the nature, scope or effect of future regulatory requirements to which our operations might be subject or the manner in which existing laws might be administered or interpreted.

We face the challenge of accurately aligning our capacity with our demand.

We can experience capacity constraints and longer lead times for certain products in times of growing demand while we can also experience idle capacity as economies slow or demand for certain products decline. Accurately forecasting our expected volumes and appropriately adjusting our capacity have been, and will continue to be, important factors in determining our results of operations. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to increase manufacturing capacity to a level that meets demand for our products, which could prevent us from meeting increased customer demand and could harm our business. However, if we overestimate our demand and overbuild our capacity, we may have significantly underutilized assets and we may experience reduced margins. If we do not accurately align our manufacturing capabilities with demand it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.

Our business is exposed to risks of product liability claims.

We face an inherent business risk of exposure to product liability claims in the event that our products' failure to perform to specification results or is alleged to result in property damage, bodily injury and/or death. We may experience material product liability losses in the future. While we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain product liability claims, we may not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage against product liability claims. In addition, product liability claims can be expensive to defend and can divert the attention of management and other personnel for significant periods of time, regardless of the ultimate outcome. An unsuccessful defense of a significant product liability claim could have a material adverse effect upon us. In addition, even if we are successful in defending against a claim relating to our products, claims of this nature could cause our customers to lose confidence in our products and us.

We may need to write off significant investments in our new North American light-duty diesel engine platform if customer commitments deteriorate.

We began development of a new North American light-duty diesel engine platform in July 2006 to be used in a variety of on- and off-highway applications. Since that time, and as of December 31, 2013, we have capitalized investments of approximately $242 million. Market uncertainty due to the global recession resulted in some customers delaying or cancelling their vehicle programs, while others remained active. In August 2013, we reached an agreement to supply Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. with our light-duty diesel engine beginning in 2015, however, if customer expectations or volume projections deteriorate from our current expected levels and we do not identify new customers, we may need to recognize an impairment charge and write the assets down to net realizable value.

47

Our operations are subject to increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations.

Our plants and operations are subject to increasingly stringent environmental laws and regulations in all of the countries in which we operate, including laws and regulations governing air emission, discharges to water and the generation, handling, storage, transportation, treatment and disposal of waste materials. While we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with these environmental laws and regulations, there can be no assurance that we will not be adversely impacted by costs, liabilities or claims with respect to existing or subsequently acquired operations, under either present laws and regulations or those that may be adopted or imposed in the future. We are also subject to laws requiring the cleanup of contaminated property. If a release of hazardous substances occurs at or from any of our current or former properties or at a landfill or another location where we have disposed of hazardous materials, we may be held liable for the contamination and the amount of such liability could be material.

We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate and other related risks.

We conduct operations in many areas of the world involving transactions denominated in a variety of currencies. We are subject to foreign currency exchange rate risk to the extent that our costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn revenues. In addition, since our financial statements are denominated in U.S. dollars, changes in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will continue to have, an impact on our results of operations. While we customarily enter into financial transactions that attempt to address these risks and many of our supply agreements with customers include foreign currency exchange rate adjustment provisions, there can be no assurance that foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will not adversely affect our results of operations. In addition, while the use of currency hedging instruments may provide us with some protection from adverse fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, by utilizing these instruments we potentially forego the benefits that might result from favorable fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates.

We also face risks arising from the imposition of foreign exchange controls and currency devaluations. Foreign exchange controls may limit our ability to convert foreign currencies into U.S. dollars or to remit dividends and other payments by our foreign subsidiaries or businesses located in or conducted within a country imposing controls. Currency devaluations result in a diminished value of funds denominated in the currency of the country instituting the devaluation.

We are exposed to risks arising from the price and availability of energy.

The level of demand for our products and services is influenced in multiple ways by the price and availability of energy. High energy costs generally drive greater demand for better fuel economy in almost all countries in which we operate. Some of our engine products have been developed with a primary purpose of offering fuel economy improvements, and if energy costs decrease or increase less than expected, demand for these products may likewise decrease. The relative unavailability of electricity in some emerging market countries also influences demand for our electricity generating products, such as our diesel generators. If these countries add energy capacity by expanding their power grids at a rate equal to or faster than the growth in demand for energy, the demand for our generating products could also decrease or increase less than would otherwise be the case.

Significant declines in future financial and stock market conditions could diminish our pension plan asset performance and adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

We sponsor both funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined benefit pension and other retirement plans. Our pension cost and the required contributions to our pension plans are directly affected by the value of plan assets, the projected and actual rates of return on plan assets and the actuarial assumptions we use to measure our defined benefit pension plan obligations, including the discount rate at which future projected and accumulated pension obligations are discounted to a present value. We could experience increased pension cost due to a combination of factors, including the decreased investment performance of pension plan assets, decreases in the discount rate and changes in our assumptions relating to the expected return on plan assets.

Significant declines in future financial and stock market conditions could cause material losses in our pension plan assets, which could result in increased pension cost in future years and adversely impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow. Depending upon the severity of market declines and government regulatory changes, we may be legally obligated to make pension payments in the U.S. and perhaps other countries and these contributions could be material.

48

We may be adversely impacted by work stoppages and other labor matters.

As of December 31, 2013, we employed approximately 47,900 persons worldwide. Approximately 15,650 of our employees worldwide are represented by various unions under collective bargaining agreements that expire between 2014 and 2016. While we have no reason to believe that we will be materially impacted by work stoppages or other labor matters, there can be no assurance that future issues with our labor unions will be resolved favorably or that we will not encounter future strikes, work stoppages, or other types of conflicts with labor unions or our employees. Any of these consequences may have an adverse effect on us or may limit our flexibility in dealing with our workforce. In addition, many of our customers and suppliers have unionized work forces. Work stoppages or slow-downs experienced by our customers or suppliers could result in slow-downs or closures that would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

Our financial statements are subject to changes in accounting standards that could adversely impact our profitability or financial position.

Our financial statements are subject to the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP), which are periodically revised and/or expanded. Accordingly, from time to time we are required to adopt new or revised accounting standards issued by recognized authoritative bodies, including the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Recently, accounting standard setters issued new guidance which further interprets or seeks to revise accounting pronouncements related to revenue recognition and lease accounting as well as to issue new standards expanding disclosures. The impact of accounting pronouncements that have been issued but not yet implemented is disclosed in our annual and quarterly reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. An assessment of proposed standards is not provided, as such proposals are subject to change through the exposure process and, therefore, their effects on our financial statements cannot be meaningfully assessed. It is possible that future accounting standards we are required to adopt could change the current accounting treatment that we apply to our consolidated financial statements and that such changes could have a material adverse effect on the reported results of operations and financial position.

We will amortize the $52 million gain realized upon settlement over the remaining 14-year term of related debt. Also, in February 2014, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our September 2013, $500 million debt issue, due in 2023, from a fixed rate of 3.65 percent to a floating rate equal to the one-month LIBOR plus a spread. See Note 12, "DERIVATIVES" for further details.

⁽¹⁾In February 2014, we settled our November 2005 interest rate swap which previously converted our $250 million debt issue, due in 2028, from a fixed rate to a floating rate based on a LIBORspread. We will amortize the $52 million gain realized upon settlement over the remaining 14-year term of related debt.Also, in February 2014, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our September 2013, $500 million debt issue, due in 2023, from a fixed rate of 3.65 percent to a floating rate equal to the one-month LIBORplus a spread. See Note 12, "DERIVATIVES" for further details.

Principal repayments on long-term debt

Principal payments required on long-term debt during the next five years are as follows:

Segment Reporting [Abstract]

OPERATING SEGMENTS

NOTE 14. OPERATING SEGMENTS

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

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

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

The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in 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 certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.  These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal and finance.  We also do not allocate debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance, divestiture gains or losses or income taxes to individual segments.  Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

Summarized financial information regarding our reportable operating segments for the three month periods is shown in the table below:

Business Combinations [Abstract]

ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES

NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS

In September 2013, we announced our intention to acquire the equity that we do not already own in most of our partially-owned United States and Canadian distributors over the next three to five years.

Cummins Mid-South LLC

On February 14, 2014, we acquired the remaining 62.2 percent interest in Cummins Mid-South LLC (Mid-South) from the former distributor principal. The preliminary purchase consideration was $116 million, which included $32 million in cash and an additional $61 million paid to eliminate outstanding debt. The remaining$23 million will be paid in future periods, subject to customary purchase price adjustments. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of the acquired entity were included in the Distribution operating segment subsequent to the acquisition date. As a result of this transaction, first quarter 2014 Distribution segment results included a $6 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 37.8 percent ownership interest in Mid-South to fair value in accordance with GAAP. The transaction generated $3 million of goodwill based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. Net sales for Mid-South were $368 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. This amount is not fully incremental to our consolidated sales as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity.

Cummins Northwest LLC

In January 2013, we acquired the remaining50 percent interest in Cummins Northwest LLC (Northwest) from the former principal for consideration of approximately $18 million.  We immediately formed a new partnership with a new distributor principal and sold 20.01 percent to the new distributor principal. We retained a new ownership in Northwest of79.99 percent. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination, with the results of the acquired entity included in the Distribution segment subsequent to the acquisition date.  Distribution segment results also included a $7 million gain, as we were required to re-measure our pre-existing 50 percent ownership interest in Northwest to fair value in accordance with GAAP.  The transaction generated $3 million of goodwill.  Net sales for Northwest were $137 million for the year ended December 31, 2012.  This amount is not fully incremental to our consolidated sales as the amount would be reduced by the elimination of sales to the previously unconsolidated entity.

In July 2013, we acquired the remaining 20.01 percent from the new distributor principal for an additional $4 million. Since the entity was already consolidated, this was accounted for as an equity transaction.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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

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

U.S. Distributor Commitments

Our distribution agreements with independent and partially-owned distributors generally have a renewablethree-year term and are restricted to specified territories.  Our distributors develop and maintain a network of dealers with which we have no direct relationship.  Our distributors are permitted to sell other, noncompetitive products only with our consent.  We license all of our distributors to use our name and logo in connection with the sale and service of our products, with no right to assign or sublicense the trademarks, except to authorized dealers, without our consent.  Products are sold to the distributors at standard domestic or international distributor net prices, as applicable.  Net prices are wholesale prices we establish to permit our distributors an adequate margin on their sales.  Subject to local laws, we can generally refuse to renew these agreements upon expiration or terminate them upon written notice for inadequate sales, change in principal ownership and certain other reasons.  Distributors also have the right to terminate the agreements upon60-day notice without cause, or 30-day notice for cause.  Upon termination or failure to renew, we are required to purchase the distributor’s current inventory, signage and special tools and may, at our option purchase other assets of the distributor, but are under no obligation to do so.

Other Guarantees and Commitments

In addition to the matters discussed above, from time to time we enter into other guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financing, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and other miscellaneous guarantees of third-party obligations.  As of March 30, 2014, the maximum potential loss related to these other guarantees was $8 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties.  The penalty amounts are less than our purchase commitments and essentially allow the supplier to recover their tooling costs in most instances.  As of March 30, 2014, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $105 million, of which$57 million relates to a contract with an engine parts supplier that extends to 2016.  These arrangements enable us to secure critical components.  We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

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 million at March 30, 2014and$66 million at December 31, 2013.

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.

Joint Venture Commitments

As of March 30, 2014, we have committed to invest an additional$54 million in existing joint ventures, of which the entire $54 million is expected to be funded in 2014.

INCOME TAXES

NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 28.5 percent, excluding any one-time items that may arise.  The research tax credit expired December 31, 2013 and has not yet been renewed by Congress. 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.  The effective tax rate for the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, was 29.9 percent.  This tax rate includes a $12 million discrete tax expense attributable primarily to state deferred tax adjustments, as well as a $5 million discrete net tax benefit resulting from a $70 million dividend paid from China earnings generated prior to 2012.

Our effective tax rate for the three months endedMarch 30, 2014, was 27.6 percent. This tax rate included a discrete tax benefit of $28 million attributable to the 2012 research credit reinstated in January 2013, as well as a discrete tax expense of $17 million, which primarily related to the write-off of a deferred tax asset deemed unrecoverable. The increase in the three month effective tax rate from 2013 to 2014 is attributable primarily to one-time discrete tax benefits in 2013 that did not repeat in 2014 and changes in U.S. state tax legislation that unfavorably impacted our 2014 effective tax rate.

We anticipate that we may resolve tax matters related primarily to certain tax credits presently under examination in U.S. federal and state tax jurisdictions. As of March 30, 2014, we estimate that it is reasonably possible that unrecognized tax benefits may decrease in an amount ranging from $0 to $75 million in the next twelve months due to the resolution of these issues. We do not expect this resolution to have a material impact on our results of operations.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 first quarters of 2014 and 2013 ended on March 30 and March 31, respectively.  The interim periods for both 2014 and 2013 contained 13 weeks.  Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

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

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock.  The options excluded from diluted earnings per share for the three month periods ended March 30, 2014 and March 31, 2013, were as follows:

	Three months ended
	March 30, 2014	March 31, 2013
Options excluded	1,430	563,350

You should read these interim condensed financial statements in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.  Our interim period financial results for the three month interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year.  The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

DERIVATIVES

NOTE 12. DERIVATIVES

We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, commodity prices and interest rates.  This risk is closely monitored and managed through the use of financial derivative instruments including foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swap contracts, commodity zero-cost collars and interest rate swaps.  These instruments, as further described below, are accounted for as cashflow or fair value hedges or as economic hedges not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Financial derivatives are used expressly for hedging purposes and under no circumstances are they used for speculative purposes.  When material, we adjust the estimated fair value of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk.  None of our derivative instruments are subject to collateral requirements.  Substantially all of our derivative contracts are subject to master netting arrangements which provide us with the option to settle certain contracts on a net basis when they settle on the same day with the same currency.  In addition, these arrangements provide for a net settlement of all contracts with a given counterparty in the event that the arrangement is terminated due to the occurrence of default or a termination event.

Interest Rate Risk

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

In February 2014, we settled our November 2005 interest rate swap which previously converted our $250 million debt issue, due in 2028, from a fixed rate to a floating rate based on a LIBORspread. We will amortize the $52 million gain realized upon settlement over the remaining 14-year term of related debt.

Also, in February 2014, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our September 2013, $500 million debt issue, due in 2023, from a fixed rate of 3.65 percent to a floating rate equal to the one-month LIBORplus a spread. The terms of the swaps mirror those of the debt, with interest paid semi-annually. The swaps were designated, and will be accounted for, as fair value hedges under GAAP. The gain or loss on these derivative instruments, as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk, are recognized in current income as “Interest expense.”

The following table summarizes these gains and losses for the three month period presented below:

⁽¹⁾Commodity zero-cost collars are not designated as hedging instruments and had a notional quantity of5,104and5,421 metric tons of copper at March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. These instruments are not included in the notional amounts above as they were subject to a USD denominated cap and floor; however, they are included in the total asset and liability balances as appropriate. The average cap and floor at March 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were $7,468and$6,841 and $7,639and$6,978, respectively.

⁽²⁾Estimates of the fair value of all derivative assets and liabilities above are derived from Level 2 inputs, which are estimated primarily using actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs, including market transactions and third-party pricing services. We do not currently have any Level 3 input measures and there were no transfers into or out of Level 2 or 3 during the first three months of 2014 and 2013.

We have elected to present our derivative contracts on a gross basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.  Had we chosen to present on a net basis, we would have derivatives in a net asset position of$2 million and derivatives in a net liability position of $8 million.
