ITEM 1.    Business

OVERVIEW

PART I

We were founded in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company, a corporation in Columbus, Indiana and one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. In 2001, we changed our name to
Cummins Inc. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-related
components including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, electric power generation systems,
batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen production and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and
other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a service network of approximately 500 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and
more than 10,000 Cummins certified dealer locations in approximately 190 countries and territories.

COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 became a global pandemic with the resultant economic impacts evolving into a worldwide recession. The pandemic triggered a
significant downturn in our markets globally, which negatively impacted our sales and results of operations during 2020. While the majority of the negative impacts to demand
largely subsided in 2021, we are still experiencing supply chain disruptions and related financial impacts reflected as increased cost of sales. Our industry continues to be
unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints leading to shortages across multiple components categories and limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand. Our
customers are also experiencing other supply chain issues and slowing production.

OPERATING SEGMENTS

We have five complementary operating segments: Engine, Distribution, Components, Power Systems and New Power. These segments share technology, customers, strategic
partners, brand recognition and our distribution network in order to compete more efficiently and effectively in their respective markets. In each of our operating segments, we
compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell similar products. Our products primarily compete on the basis of performance,
price, total cost of ownership, fuel economy, emissions compliance, speed of delivery, quality and customer support.

We use segment earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA) as the primary basis for the
Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable operating segments. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating
performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or
depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. See Note 22, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to the Consolidated Financial
Statements for additional information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in our Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

SUPPLY

The  performance  of  the  end-to-end  supply  chain,  extending  through  to  our  suppliers,  is  foundational  to  our  ability  to  meet  customers'  expectations  and  support  long-term
growth. We are committed to having a robust strategy for how we select and manage our suppliers to enable a market focused supply chain. This requires us to continuously
evaluate and upgrade our supply base, as necessary, as we strive to ensure we are meeting the needs of our customers.

We use a combination of proactive and reactive methodologies to enhance our understanding of supply base risks, which guide the development of risk monitoring and sourcing
strategies. Our category strategy process (a process designed to create the most value for the company) supports the review of our long-term needs and guides decisions on what
we make internally and what we purchase externally. For the items we decide to purchase externally, the strategies also identify the suppliers we should partner with long-term to
provide the best technology, the lowest total cost and highest supply chain performance. We design and/or manufacture our strategic components used in or with our engines and
power generation units and New Power products. Key suppliers are managed through long-term supply agreements that secure capacity, delivery, quality  and cost requirements
are met over an extended period.

Other important elements of our sourcing strategy include:

• selecting and managing suppliers to comply with our Supplier Code of Conduct and

• assuring our suppliers comply with our prohibited and restricted materials policy.

As we adjust to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid return of demand in many manufacturing industries, we are experiencing supply chain disruptions,
incremental costs and related challenges throughout the supply chain. We continue to monitor the supply chain disruptions utilizing early detection technology complemented
by structured supplier risk and resiliency assessments. We increased frequency of formal and informal supplier engagement to address potentially impactful supply base
constraints and enhanced collaboration to develop specific countermeasures to mitigate risks. Our global team, located in different regions of the world, uses various approaches
to identify and resolve threats to supply continuity.

PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS

We own or control a significant number of patents and trademarks relating to the products we manufacture. These patents and trademarks were granted and registered over a
period of years. Although these patents and trademarks are generally considered beneficial to our operations, we do not believe any patent, group of patents or trademark (other
than our leading brand house trademarks) is significant to our business.

SEASONALITY

While individual product lines may experience modest seasonal variation in production, there is no material effect on the demand for the majority of our products on a quarterly
basis with the exception that our Power Systems segment normally experiences seasonal declines in the first quarter due to general declines in construction spending during this
period.

LARGEST CUSTOMERS

We have thousands of customers around the world and have developed long-standing business relationships with many of them. PACCAR is our largest customer, accounting
for 15 percent of our consolidated net sales in 2021, 15 percent in 2020 and 17 percent in 2019. We have long-term supply agreements with PACCAR for our heavy-duty and
medium-duty engines and aftertreatment systems. While a significant number of our sales to PACCAR are under long-term supply agreements, these agreements provide for
particular engine requirements for specific vehicle models and not a specific volume of engines or aftertreatment systems. PACCAR is our only customer accounting for more
than 10 percent of our net sales in 2021. The loss of this customer or a significant decline in the production level of PACCAR vehicles that use our engines would have an
adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. We have supplied engines to PACCAR for 77 years. A summary of principal customers for each operating
segment is included in our segment discussion.

In addition to our agreement with PACCAR, we have long-term heavy-duty and medium-duty engine and aftertreatment system supply agreements with Navistar and Daimler.
We also have an agreement with Stellantis to supply engines for its Ram trucks. Collectively, our net sales to these four customers, including PACCAR, were 33 percent of our
consolidated net sales in 2021, 32 percent in 2020 and 37 percent in 2019. Excluding PACCAR, net sales to any single customer were less than 8 percent of our consolidated net
sales in 2021, less than 7 percent in 2020 and less than 9 percent in 2019. These agreements contain standard purchase and sale agreement terms covering engine, aftertreatment
and engine parts pricing, quality and delivery commitments, as well as engineering product support obligations. The basic nature of our agreements with OEM customers is that
they are long-term price and operations agreements that help prove for the availability of our products to each customer through the duration of the respective agreements.
Agreements with most OEMs contain bilateral termination provisions giving either party the right to terminate in the event of a material breach, change of control or insolvency
or bankruptcy of the other party.

BACKLOG

As we adjust to the recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid return of demand in many manufacturing industries, we are experiencing supply chain disruptions,
incremental costs and related challenges throughout the supply chain. The supply chain disruptions are impacting our business as well as our suppliers and customers resulting
in longer lead times in some of our businesses. We have supply agreements with some truck and off-highway equipment OEMs, however most of our business is transacted
through open purchase orders. These open orders are historically subject to month-to-month releases and are subject to cancellation on reasonable notice without cancellation
charges and therefore are not considered firm. We are working closely with our suppliers as discussed in the Supply section above as well as with customers to meet the demand
and work through backlogs as efficiently as possible.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In 2021, we continued to invest in future critical technologies and products. We will continue to make investments to develop new products and improve our current
technologies to meet future emission requirements around the world and improve fuel economy performance of diesel and natural gas-powered engines and related components
as well as development activities around fully electric, hybrid and hydrogen power solutions and hydrogen production.

Our research and development programs are focused on product improvements, product extensions, innovations and cost reductions for our customers. Research and
development expenditures include salaries, contractor fees, building costs, utilities, testing, technical information technology expenses, administrative expenses and allocation of
corporate costs and are expensed, net of contract reimbursements, when incurred. From time to time, we enter into agreements with customers and government agencies to fund
a portion of the research and development costs of a particular project. When not associated with a sales contract, we generally account for these reimbursements as an offset to
the related research and development expenditure. Research and development expenses, net of contract reimbursements, were $1.1 billion in 2021, $903 million in 2020 and
$998 million in 2019. Contract reimbursements were $104 million, $86 million and $90 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY

We are committed to making people's lives better by powering a more prosperous world. That prosperity includes strong communities, robust business and environmental
sustainability.

The highest level of accountability for our climate-related risks and opportunities is with the Safety, Environment and Technology (SET) Committee of the Board of Directors
(the Board). The internal Action Committee for Environmental Sustainability meets monthly and reports to the Chairman and to the SET Committee at least annually.

In late 2019, we introduced PLANET 2050, a sustainability strategy focused on three priority areas: addressing climate change and air emissions, using natural resources in the
most sustainable way and improving communities. Additional commitments followed in 2021 with Cummins Water Works, which is our multi-million dollar program for
strengthening communities through sustainable water and addressing the global water crisis. The PLANET 2050 strategy includes nine specific goals to achieve by 2030,
including science-based carbon dioxide reduction targets for newly sold products and facilities, as well as aspirational targets for 2050. We are currently evaluating how the new
goals will be integrated into business planning and will report on progress beginning in 2022. Key areas of focus in 2021 included product decarbonization pathways, customer
sustainability collaboration and circular economy efforts such as incorporating expanded lifecycle analysis tools.

The nine PLANET 2050 goals for 2030 are as follows:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

Reduce absolute greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from facilities and operations by 50 percent.

Reduce scope three absolute lifetime GHG emissions from newly sold products by 25 percent.

Partner with customers to reduce scope three GHG emissions from products in the field by 55 million metric tons.

Reduce volatile organic compounds emissions from paint and coating operations by 50 percent.

Create a circular lifecycle plan for every part to use less, use better, use again.

Generate 25 percent less waste in facilities and operations as percent of revenue.

Reuse or responsibly recycle 100 percent of packaging plastics and eliminate single-use plastics in dining facilities, employee amenities and events.

Reduce absolute water consumption in facilities and operations by 30 percent.

Produce net water benefits that exceed our annual water use in all our regions.

The most recent Sustainability Progress Report, prior reports and a Data Book of more detailed environmental data in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative's Standard
core compliance designation is available on our website at www.cummins.com. Our annual submission to the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) for climate change and water are
also available on the website. The climate submission provides information on our scenario planning for climate and other risks and detailed facility emissions data as requested
by CDP. In 2021, we published our second report in accordance with the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board as well as our first report following the framework of the
Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures. These reports and data book are not incorporated into this Form 10-K by reference.

We continue to articulate our positions on key public policy issues and on a wide range of environmental issues. We are actively engaged around the world to promote science-
based climate policies by working with regulatory, industry and other stakeholders, including joining advocacy groups and testifying before legislators and regulators. We will
continue to work in partnership with others to advocate for tough, clear and enforceable regulations around the globe to address air and GHG emissions. In 2021, we were named
to the S&P Dow Jones World and North American Sustainability Indices. It was the sixteenth consecutive time we were named to the North American index and the first time
we were named to the world index since 2013. We were also named one of the inaugural recipients of the Prince Charles' Terra Carta Seal, recognizing companies for their
leadership in climate action and sustainability.

We were named to Investor Business Daily's Best ESG Companies list for performance on environmental, social and governance matters, ranking number 37. We were also
ranked number 84 among Barron's Top 100 Most Sustainable Companies.

ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE

Product Certification and Compliance

Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that directly or indirectly impose standards governing emissions and noise. Over the past several
years we have increased our global environmental compliance presence and expertise to understand and meet emerging product environmental regulations around the world.
Our ability to comply with these and future

12

Table of Contents

emission standards is an essential element in maintaining our leadership position in regulated markets. We made, and will continue to make, significant capital and research
expenditures to comply with these standards.

We strive to be a leader in developing and implementing technologies that provide customers with the highest performing products while minimizing the impact on the
environment, and we have a long history of working with governments and regulators to achieve these goals. We remain committed to ensuring our products meet all current
and future emission standards and delivering value to our customers.

Formed in 2019, the Product Compliance and Regulatory Affairs team leads both engine emissions certification and compliance and regulatory affairs initiatives and is overseen
and reports directly to the SET Committee of the Board at least annually. This organization is led by the Vice President - Product Compliance and Regulatory Affairs who
reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer. The Vice President is a member of both the Cummins Executive Team and Cummins Leadership Team. The focus of this
organization is to strengthen our ability to design great products that help our customers win while complying with increasingly challenging global emission regulations. The
organization also works to enhance our collaboration with the agencies setting the direction and regulations of emissions as we strive to meet every expectation today while
planning for future changes.

Following conversations with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) regarding certification for the engines in the 2019
RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks, we made the decision to review our certification process and compliance with emission standards. This review is being conducted with external
advisers as we strive to ensure the certification and all of our processes for our pick-up truck applications are consistent with our internal policies, engineering standards and
applicable laws. We are working closely with the regulators to enhance our emissions systems to improve the effectiveness of all of our pick-up truck applications and to fully
address the regulators’ requirements. Based on discussions with the regulators, we have developed a new calibration for the engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500
trucks that has been included in all engines shipped since September 2019. During our discussions, the regulators turned their attention to other model years and other engines,
most notably our pick-up truck applications for RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks for model years 2013 through 2018. We will continue to work together closely with the relevant
regulators to develop and implement recommendations for improvement as part of our ongoing commitment to compliance. See Note 14, "COMMITMENTS AND
CONTINGENCIES," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Engine Certifications

Our engines are certified globally through various categories within on-highway and off-highway applications. Regulations in these categories typically control nitrogen oxides
(NOx), particulate matter (PM) and GHG. The current on-highway NOx and PM emission standards came into effect in India on April 1, 2020, (Bharat Stage VI), China on July
1, 2019, (National Standard NS VI), the European Union (EU) on January 1, 2013, (Euro VI) and on January 1, 2010, for the EPA. To meet these regulations, mid-range and
heavy-duty engines for India, China, EU and EPA require NOx aftertreatment. NOx reduction is achieved by an integrated technology solution comprised of the XPI High
Pressure Common Rail fuel system, SCR technology (in some cases), next-generation cooled EGR, advanced electronic controls, proven air handling and the Cummins Diesel
Particulate Filter (DPF). The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Ministry of Ecology and Environment, EU, EPA and CARB certified that our engines meet the current
emission requirements. Emission standards in international markets, including Japan, Mexico, Australia, Brazil and Russia are becoming more stringent. We believe that our
experience in meeting the EU and EPA emission standards leaves us well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in these markets as the need for emission control
capability grows.

In 2013, we certified to EPA's first ever GHG regulations for on-highway medium and heavy-duty engines. Additionally, the EPA's 2013 regulations added the requirement of
on-board diagnostics, which were introduced on the ISX 15 in 2010, across the full on-highway product line while maintaining the same near-zero emission levels of NOx and
PM required in 2010. On-board diagnostics provide enhanced service capability with standardized diagnostic trouble codes, service tool interface, in-cab warning lamp and
service information availability. The new GHG and fuel-efficiency regulations were required for all heavy-duty diesel and natural gas engines beginning in January 2014. Our
TM
GHG certification was the first engine certificate issued by the EPA and uses the same proven base engine with the XPI fuel system, variable geometry turbocharger (VGT )
and Cummins aftertreatment system with DPF and SCR technology. Application of these engines and aftertreatment technologies continues in our products that comply with the
2021 GHG regulations.

TM

Our off-highway engines designed for Tier 4 / Stage V standards were based on our extensive on-highway experience developing SCR, high pressure fuel systems, DPF and
VGT . Our products offer low fuel consumption, high torque rise and power output, extended maintenance intervals, reliable and durable operation and a long life to overhaul
period, all while meeting the most stringent emission standards in the industrial market. Our off-highway products power multiple applications including construction, mining,
marine, agriculture, rail, defense and oil and gas and serve a global customer base. The current EPA Tier 4 off-highway emission standards came into effect between 2013-2015
for all engine power categories. The current EU Stage V off-highway emission standards became effective in 2019 for certain engine power categories and were completely
effective January 2021 for all remaining categories.

Other Environmental Statutes and Regulations

Expenditures for environmental control activities and environmental remediation projects at our facilities in the U.S. were not a substantial portion of our annual expenses and
are not expected to be material in 2022. We believe we are in compliance in all material respects with laws and regulations applicable to our plants and operations.

In the U.S., pursuant to notices received from federal and state agencies and/or defendant parties in site environmental contribution actions, we were identified as a potentially
responsible party under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended or similar state laws, at fewer than 20 waste
disposal sites.

Based upon our experiences at similar sites we believe that our aggregate future remediation costs will not be material. We have established accruals that we believe are
adequate for our expected future liability with respect to these sites. In addition, we have several other sites where we are working with governmental authorities on remediation
projects. The costs for these remediation projects are not expected to be material.

HUMAN CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2021, we employed approximately 59,900 persons worldwide. Approximately 21,200 of our employees worldwide are represented by various unions under
collective bargaining agreements that expire between 2022 and 2026.

Throughout our company’s 100-year history, we always recognized that people drive the strength of our business and our ability to effectively serve our clients and sustain our
competitive position. We are focused on harmonizing our approach to talent to provide seamless opportunities and better experiences to our employees around the world. The
disruptive events in 2020 and 2021 highlighted the importance for us to complete the strategic work in Human Resources to encourage all employees to reach their full potential.
This strategy has key focus areas: creating a diverse and inclusive work environment; engaging employees and their families in improving wellness; developing self-aware and
effective leaders; and extending our talent management philosophies in performance management, compensation management, competency building, and access to development
opportunities to all employees.

Leadership and Talent Management

Managing our human capital resources is a key focus of the company. In 2020, the Board recast our Compensation Committee as the Talent Management and Compensation
Committee to reflect the Board’s commitment to overseeing and providing guidance to our leadership team in this important work.

We strive to create a leadership culture that begins with authentic leaders who create an outstanding place to work by encouraging all employees to achieve their full potential.
We encourage leaders to connect our people and their work to our mission, vision, values, brand promise and strategies of the company, motivating and giving them a higher
sense of purpose. We have developed leadership and employee development programs for employees ranging from the manufacturing floor and technicians through middle
management and executive development. When an individual joins Cummins, we are committed to providing both that employee and their manager with the tools and resources
to manage their career and navigate in a large global organization. Through our Talent Management strategy our goal is to provide all employees access to the development and
career opportunities that a global company enables.

Competitive Pay and Benefits

To attract and retain the best employees, we focus on providing competitive pay and benefits. Our programs target the market for competitiveness and sustainability while
ensuring that we honor our core values. We provide benefit programs with the goal of improving physical, mental and financial wellness of our employees throughout their
lifetime. Some examples include base and variable pay, medical, paid time off, retirement saving plans and employee stock purchase plans.

When designing our base pay compensation ranges, we do market analysis to be sure ranges are current and our employees are advancing their earning potential. We also do
annual compensation studies to assess market movement, pay equity and living wages. For example, in 2018, we conducted a living wage analysis globally as we strive to
ensure our employees were making a living wage in the countries they live and work. We incorporated this living wage assessment into our annual compensation structure to
work to ensure that current and new hires never fall below this threshold. In the U.S. for example, the living wage in 2019 was $15 per hour, although most positions pay more
than that. We review wages globally as we continuously work to ensure we are fair, equitable, competitive and can attract and retain the best talent.

We also provide diverse benefit programs that are aligned with our values and focused on supporting employees and their families based on their unique needs, some of which
are: tiered health care cost so that more junior employees pay less for their premiums; paid parental leave for primary and secondary caregivers; advanced medical services from
clinicians to support complex health care needs and employee assistance programs with diverse providers that can meet a range of employee needs from race related trauma to
financial planning to transgender transition support.

Employee Safety and Wellness

Cummins is committed to being world-class in health and safety. We strive to ensure a workplace with zero incidents. We are committed to removing conditions that cause
personal injury or occupational illness and we make decisions and promote behaviors that protect others from risk of injury. We publicly disclose metrics on our rate of
recordable injuries, our rate of lost workdays due to injury and the rate of injuries involving contractors.

Our response to the COVID-19 global pandemic illustrated our commitment to safety. To support both our customers and communities, we made keeping employees safe our
top priority. Most of our employees who can work from home have done so since the outbreak of the pandemic and we provided them with the tools and support to do so. This
allowed us to focus resources and investments on our engineering and production facilities. In those facilities, we have taken many steps to protect the health and safety of our
people, including:

• Masks required inside open plants and facilities.

•

•

Redesigned exits, entrances and production lines to encourage social distancing.

Expanded healthcare and leave programs to support employees and their families.

• Manufacturing our own face masks to provide to our employees free of charge.

•

In 2021, we launched an aggressive global effort to acquire vaccines and provide them onsite or near-site to our employees, their families and other stakeholders. By
partnering with governments and health care providers, we facilitated the delivery of over 45,000 doses of approved vaccines to employees at or near the workplace. This
includes over 5,000 shots in the U.S., over 30,000 shots in India and over 10,000 shots in Mexico.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion

Diversity, equity and inclusion at all levels of the company are critical to our ability to innovate, to win in the marketplace and to create sustainable success. Having diverse,
equitable and inclusive workplaces allows us to attract and retain the best employees to deliver results for our shareholders. This is exemplified by the composition of the Board
of which 5 of 13 directors are female and 5 of 13 directors are ethnically diverse. In addition, over 50 percent of our executive team is female, and 45 percent of our leadership
team is female. We disclose publicly the percentage of women in supervisory roles and the overall workforce. We also launched several initiatives to increase representation of
minorities in the workplace. We created a Global Inclusion Leadership Council to oversee more than 100 employee resource groups around the world to provide opportunities
to employees from all backgrounds for leadership training, cross cultural learning and professional development. In 2020, we launched Cummins Advocating for Racial Equity
(CARE), which seeks to drive a sustainable impact in dismantling institutional racism and creating systemic equity. CARE now has hundreds of employees engaged and has
deployed over $20 million in funding to fight racial injustice in the U.S.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

Set forth below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K 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 and 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.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

We are conducting a formal internal review of our emission certification process and compliance with emission standards with respect to our pick-up truck applications and
are working with the EPA and CARB to address their questions about these applications. Due to the continuing nature of our formal internal review and on-going
discussions with the EPA and CARB, we cannot predict the final results of this formal review and these regulatory processes, nor whether, or the extent to which, they
could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

We previously announced that we are conducting a formal internal review of our emissions certification process and compliance with emission standards with respect to all of
our pick-up truck applications, following conversations with the EPA and CARB regarding certification of our engines for model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. During
conversations with the EPA and CARB about the effectiveness of our pick-up truck applications, the regulators raised concerns that certain aspects of our emissions systems
may reduce the effectiveness of our emissions control systems and thereby act as defeat devices. As a result, our internal review focuses, in part, on the regulators’ concerns. We
are working closely with the regulators to enhance our emissions systems to improve the effectiveness of all of our pick-up truck applications and to fully address the regulators’
requirements. Based on discussions with the regulators, we have developed a new calibration for the engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks that has been
included in all engines shipped since September 2019. During our discussions, the regulators turned their attention to other model years and other engines, most notably our
pick-up truck applications for RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks for model years 2013 through 2018. We will continue to work together closely with the relevant regulators to develop
and implement recommendations for improvement as part of our ongoing commitment to compliance. 

Due to the continuing nature of the formal review, our ongoing cooperation with the regulators and the presence of many unknown facts and circumstances, we are not yet able
to estimate the financial impact of these matters. It is possible that the consequences of any remediation plans resulting from our formal review and these regulatory processes
could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

Our products are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that can significantly increase our costs and, along with increased scrutiny from regulatory
agencies and unpredictability in the adoption, implementation and enforcement of increasingly stringent and fragmented emission standards by multiple jurisdictions
around the world, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emissions and noise, including standards imposed by the EPA, the EU, state regulatory
agencies (such as the CARB) and other regulatory agencies around the world. Regulatory agencies are making certification and compliance with emissions and noise standards
more stringent and subjecting diesel engine products to an increasing level of scrutiny. The discovery of noncompliance issues could have a material adverse impact on our
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Developing engines and components to meet more stringent and changing 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. While we
have met previous deadlines, our ability to comply with existing and future regulatory standards will be essential for us to maintain our competitive position in the engine
applications and industries 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 our worldwide markets are
unpredictable and subject to change. Any delays in implementation or enforcement could result in a loss of our competitive advantage and could have a material adverse impact
on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We operate our business on a global basis and changes in international, national and regional trade laws, regulations and policies affecting and/or restricting international
trade could adversely impact the demand for our products and our competitive position.

We manufacture, sell and service products globally and rely upon a global supply chain to deliver the raw materials, components, systems and parts that we need to manufacture
and service our products. Changes in laws, regulations and government policies on foreign trade and investment can affect the demand for our products and services, cause non-
U.S. customers to shift preferences toward domestically manufactured or branded products and impact the competitive position of our products or prevent us from being able to
sell products in certain countries. Our business benefits from free trade agreements, such as the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement and the U.S. trade relationship with
China, Brazil and France and efforts to withdraw from, or substantially modify such agreements or arrangements, in addition to the implementation of more restrictive trade
policies, such as more detailed inspections, higher tariffs (including, but not limited to, additional tariffs on the import of steel or aluminum and imposition of new or retaliatory
tariffs against certain countries, including based on developments in U.S., China and Russia relations), import or export licensing requirements and exchange controls or new
barriers to entry, could limit our ability to capitalize on current and future growth opportunities in international markets, impair our ability to expand the business by offering
new technologies, products and services, and could adversely impact our production costs, customer demand and our relationships with customers and suppliers. Any of these
consequences could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Embargoes, sanctions and export controls imposed by the U.S. and other governments restricting or prohibiting transactions with certain persons or entities, including financial
institutions, to certain countries or regions, or involving certain products, limit the sales of our products. Embargoes, sanctions and export control laws are changing rapidly for
certain geographies, including with respect to China and Russia. In particular, changing U.S. export controls and sanctions on China, as well as other restrictions affecting
transactions involving China and Chinese parties and Russian and Russian parties, could affect our ability to collect receivables, provide aftermarket and warranty support for
our products, sell products and otherwise impact our reputation and business, any of which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition
and cash flows.

The U.S. government’s pending rules and regulations concerning mandatory COVID-19 vaccination of U.S.-based employees of companies that work on or in support of
federal contracts could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

On September 9, 2021, President Biden issued an executive order requiring all employers with U.S. government contracts to ensure that their U.S.-based employees, contractors
and subcontractors, that work on or in support of U.S. government contracts, are fully vaccinated against COVID-19 as required by the executive order. The executive order
includes on-site and remote U.S.-based employees, contractors and subcontractors and provides for limited medical and religious exceptions. As of December 2021, the
executive order has been put on hold by numerous federal courts, pending a final outcome by one or more federal appellate courts and possibly the U.S. Supreme Court. In the
meantime, we continue to track the status of our federal contracts and otherwise prepare for the possible implementation of the order.

It is currently not possible to predict with certainty the impact the executive order will have on our workforce if it survives the legal challenges. Additional vaccine mandates
may be announced in jurisdictions in which our businesses operate. Our implementation of these requirements may result in attrition, including attrition of critically skilled
labor, and difficulty securing future labor needs, which could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

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
the adoption of new tax legislation, changes in earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities 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-

19

Table of Contents

corruption, such as the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and similar laws from other countries, as well as new regulatory requirements regarding data privacy, such as the
European Union General Data Protection Regulation. 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, financial
condition and cash flows. 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.

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.

Future bans or limitations on the use of diesel-powered vehicles or other applications could have a material adverse impact on our business over the long term.

In an effort to limit greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change, multiple countries and cities have announced that they plan to implement a ban on the use in their
countries or cities of diesel-powered products in the near or distant future. These countries include China, India and Germany. In addition, California government officials have
called for the state to phase out sales of certain diesel-powered vehicles by 2035. To the extent that these types of bans are actually implemented in the future on a broad basis,
or in one or more of our key markets, our diesel business over the long-term could experience material adverse impacts.

BUSINESS CONDITIONS / DISRUPTIONS

We are vulnerable to raw material, transportation and labor price fluctuations and supply shortages, which impacted and could continue to impact our results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows.

We are experiencing supply chain disruptions and related challenges throughout the supply chain. We single source a significant number of parts and raw materials critical to
our business operations. 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 the COVID-19 pandemic, capacity constraints, port congestion, labor
disputes, economic downturns, availability of credit or impaired financial condition), suppliers' allocations to other purchasers, weather emergencies, natural disasters, acts of
government or acts of war or terrorism. In particular, if the COVID-19 pandemic continues and results in extended periods of travel, commercial and other restrictions, we could
continue to incur global supply disruptions. Any extended delay in receiving critical supplies could impair our ability to deliver products to our customers and have a material
adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In addition, the current economic environment has resulted, and may continue to result, in price volatility and inflation of many of our raw material, transportation and other
costs. Further, the labor market for skilled manufacturing remains tight as the U.S. economy recovers after the COVID-19 pandemic shutdowns, and our labor costs have
increased as a result. Material, transportation, labor and other cost inflation has impacted and could continue to impact our results of operations, financial condition and cash
flows.

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

Our markets are cyclical in nature and we face periods when demand fluctuates significantly higher or lower than our normal operating levels, including variability driven by
supply chain inconsistency. Accurately forecasting our expected volumes and appropriately adjusting our capacity are important factors in determining our results of operations
and cash flows. We manage our capacity by adjusting our manufacturing workforce, capital expenditures and purchases from suppliers. In periods of weak demand we may
face under-utilized capacity and un-recovered overhead costs, while in periods of strong demand we may experience unplanned costs and could fail to meet customer demand.
We cannot guarantee that we will be able to adequately adjust our manufacturing capacity in response to significant changes in customer demand, which could harm our
business. If we do not accurately align our manufacturing capabilities with demand it could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and
cash flows.

Table of Contents

We derive significant earnings from investees that we do not directly control, with more than 50 percent of these earnings from our China-based investees.

For 2021, we recognized $506 million of equity, royalty and interest income from investees, compared to $452 million in 2020. Approximately half of our equity, royalty and
interest income from investees is from three of our 50 percent owned joint ventures in China - Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company,
Ltd. and Chongqing Cummins Engine Company, Ltd. 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 and cash flows.

Our truck manufacturers and OEM customers discontinuing outsourcing their engine supply needs, financial distress, particularly related to bankruptcy or a change-in-
control of one of our large truck OEM customers, could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We recognize significant sales of engines and components to a few large on-highway truck OEM customers which have been an integral part of our positive business results for
several years. Many are truck manufacturers or OEMs that manufacture engines for some of their own vehicles. 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 compliance 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. In addition, 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, financial distress of one of our large truck OEM customers due to bankruptcy or a
change-in-control, could likely lead to significant reductions in our sales volumes, commercial disputes, receivable collection issues, and other negative consequences that could
have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

PRODUCTS AND TECHNOLOGY

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

Our products are subject to recall for performance or safety-related issues. Product recalls subject us to reputational risk, 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 known or suspected performance or safety issues. Any significant product recalls could have material adverse effects on our results of operations,
financial condition and cash flows. See Note 13, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY" to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

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 and cash flows. In addition, while the use of commodity price hedging instruments and contractual pricing adjustments 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.

The development of new technologies may materially reduce the demand for our current products and services.

We are investing in new products and technologies, including electrified powertrains, hydrogen production and fuel cells, for planned introduction into certain new and existing
markets. Given the early stages of development of some of these new products and technologies, there can be no guarantee of the future market acceptance and investment
returns with respect to our planned products, which will face competition from an array of other technologies and manufacturers. The increased adoption of electrified
powertrains in some market segments could result in lower demand for current diesel or natural gas engines and components and, over time, reduce the demand for related parts
and service revenues from diesel or natural gas powertrains. Furthermore, it is possible that we may not be successful in developing segment-leading electrified or alternate fuel
powertrains and some of our existing customers

21

Table of Contents

could choose to develop their own, or source from other manufacturers, and any of these factors could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.

Lower-than-anticipated market acceptance of our new or existing products or services could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial
condition and cash flows.

Although we conduct market research before launching new or refreshed engines and introducing new services, many factors both within and outside our control affect the
success of new or existing products and services in the marketplace. Offering engines and services that customers desire and value can mitigate the risks of increasing
competition and declining demand, but products and services that are perceived to be less than desirable (whether in terms of price, quality, overall value, fuel efficiency or
other attributes) can exacerbate these risks. With increased consumer interconnectedness through the internet, social media and other media, mere allegations relating to poor
quality, safety, fuel efficiency, corporate responsibility or other key attributes can negatively impact our reputation or market acceptance of our products or services, even if
such allegations prove to be inaccurate or unfounded.

Our business is exposed to potential 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. At any given time, we are subject to various and multiple product liability claims, any one of which, if decided adversely to us,
may have a material adverse effect on our reported results of operation in the period in which our liability with respect to any such claim is recognized. 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. Furthermore, 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.

GENERAL

We may not complete the separation of our filtration business within the time frame we anticipate or at all. The separation may present difficulties that could have an
adverse effect on us and/or the independent business resulting from the separation and/or costs associated with the separation may be higher than anticipated.
Additionally, if we complete the separation, we may not realize some or all of the expected benefits of the separation.

In August 2021, we announced our exploration of strategic alternatives for our filtration business unit, including the potential separation of the business into a stand-alone
company (the “separation”). Any separation would be complex in nature, and unanticipated developments or changes, including changes in law, the macroeconomic
environment and market conditions or regulatory or political conditions may affect our ability to complete the separation, within the anticipated time frame or at all.

Whether or not the separation is completed, our businesses may face material challenges in connection with this transaction, including, without limitation:

•

the diversion of management’s attention from ongoing business concerns and impact on our businesses as a result of the devotion of management’s attention to strategic
alternatives for the filtration business, including the separation;

• maintaining employee morale and retaining key management and other employees;

•

•

•

•

retaining existing business and operational relationships, including with customers, suppliers, employees and other counterparties, and attracting new business and
operational relationships;

execution and related risks in connection with financing transactions undertaken in connection with the separation;

foreseen and unforeseen dis-synergy costs, costs of restructuring transactions (including taxes) and other significant costs and expenses; and

any potential negative reactions from the financial markets resulting from the separation.

Any of these factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. In addition, if the separation is completed,
the new independent company will incur ongoing costs, including costs of operating as an independent company, that the separated business will no longer be able to share.
Those costs may exceed our estimates or could diminish the benefits we expect to realize from the separation.

Table of Contents

Our plan to reposition our portfolio of product offerings through exploration of strategic acquisitions and divestitures may expose us to additional costs and risks.

Part of our strategic plan is to improve our revenue growth, gross margins and earnings by exploring the repositioning of our portfolio of product line offerings through the
pursuit of potential strategic acquisitions and/or divestitures to provide future strategic, financial and operational benefits and improve shareholder value. There can be no
assurance that we will be able to identify suitable candidates or consummate these transactions on favorable terms. The successful identification and completion of any strategic
transaction depends on a number of factors that are not entirely within our control, including the availability of suitable candidates and our ability to negotiate terms acceptable
to all parties involved, conclude satisfactory agreements and obtain all necessary regulatory approvals. Accordingly, we may not be able to successfully negotiate and complete
specific transactions. The exploration, negotiation and consummation of strategic transactions may involve significant expenditures by us, which may adversely affect our
results of operations at the time such expenses are incurred, and may divert management’s attention from our existing business. Strategic transactions also may have adverse
effects on our existing business relationships with suppliers and customers.

If required, the financing for strategic acquisitions could result in an increase in our indebtedness, dilute the interests of our shareholders or both. Any acquisition may not be
accretive to us for a significant period of time following the completion of such acquisition. Also, our ability to effectively integrate any potential acquisition into our existing
business and culture may not be successful, which could jeopardize future financial and operational performance for the combined businesses. In addition, if an acquisition
results in any additional goodwill or increase in other intangible assets on our balance sheet and subsequently becomes impaired, we would be required to record a non-cash
impairment charge, which could result in a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

Similarly, any strategic divestiture of a product line or business may reduce our revenue and earnings, reduce the diversity of our business, result in substantial costs and
expenses and cause disruption to our employees, customers, vendors and communities in which we operate.

We operate in challenging markets for talent and may fail to attract, develop and retain key personnel.

We depend on the skills, institutional knowledge, working relationships, and continued services and contributions of key personnel, including our leadership team and others at
all levels of the company, as a critical part of our human capital resources. In addition, our ability to achieve our operating and strategic goals depends on our ability to identify,
hire, train and retain qualified individuals. We compete with other companies both within and outside of our industry for talented personnel and we may lose key personnel or
fail to attract other talented personnel. Any such loss or failure could have material adverse effects on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We may be adversely impacted by the effects of climate change and may incur increased costs and experience other impacts due to new or more stringent greenhouse gas
regulations designed to address climate change.

The scientific consensus indicates that emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) continue to alter the composition of Earth’s atmosphere in ways that are affecting, and are
expected to continue to affect, the global climate. The potential impacts of climate change on our customers, product offerings, operations, facilities and suppliers are
accelerating and uncertain, as they will be particular to local and customer-specific circumstances. These potential impacts may include, among other items, physical long-term
changes in freshwater availability and the frequency and severity of weather events as well as customer product changes either through preference or regulation.

Concerns regarding climate change may lead to additional international, national, regional and local legislative and regulatory responses. Various stakeholders, including
legislators and regulators, shareholders and non-governmental organizations, are continuing to look for ways to reduce GHG emissions. We could face risks to our brand
reputation, investor confidence and market share due to an inability to innovate and develop new products that decrease GHG emissions. Increased input costs, such as fuel,
utility, transportation and compliance-related costs could increase our operating costs and negatively impact customer operations and demand for our products. As the impact of
any future GHG legislative or regulatory requirements on our global businesses and products is dependent on the timing, scope and design of the mandates or standards, we are
currently unable to predict its potential impact which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

Our information technology environment and our products are exposed to potential security breaches or other disruptions which may adversely impact our competitive
position, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We rely on the capacity, reliability and security of our information technology environment and data security infrastructure in connection with various aspects of our business
activities. We also rely on our ability to expand and continually update these technologies and related infrastructure in response to the changing needs of our business. As we
implement new technologies, they may not perform as expected. We face the challenge of supporting our older technologies and implementing necessary upgrades. In

23

Table of Contents

addition, some of these technologies are managed by third-party service providers and are not under our direct control. If we experience a problem with an important
technology, including during upgrades and/or new implementations of technologies, the resulting disruptions could have an adverse effect on our business and reputation. As
customers adopt and rely on cloud-based digital technologies and services we offer, any disruption of the confidentiality, integrity or availability of those services could have an
adverse effect on our business and reputation.

The data handled by our technologies is vulnerable to security threats. Our operations routinely involve receiving, storing, processing and transmitting sensitive information
pertaining to our business, customers, dealers, suppliers, employees and other sensitive matters. While we continually work to safeguard our information technology
environment and mitigate potential risks, there is no assurance that these actions will be sufficient to prevent information technology security threats, such as security breaches,
computer malware, ransomware attacks and other "cyber attacks," which are increasing in both frequency and sophistication, along with power outages or hardware failures.
These threats could result in unauthorized public disclosures of information, create financial liability, subject us to legal or regulatory sanctions, disrupt our ability to conduct
our business, result in the loss of intellectual property or damage our reputation with customers, dealers, suppliers and other stakeholders. As a result of the COVID-19
pandemic a large percentage of our salaried employees continue to work remotely full or part-time. This remote working environment may pose a heightened risk for security
breaches or other disruptions of our information technology environment.

In addition, our products, including our engines, contain interconnected and increasingly complex technologies that control various processes and these technologies are
potentially subject to "cyber attacks" and disruption. The impact of a significant information technology event on either our information technology environment or our
products could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, reputation, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We are exposed to political, economic and other risks that arise from operating a multinational business. Greater political, economic and social uncertainty and the
evolving globalization of businesses could significantly change the dynamics of our competition, customer base and product offerings and impact our growth globally.

Our business is subject to the political, economic and other risks that are inherent in operating in numerous countries. These risks include:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

public health crises, including the spread of a contagious disease, such as COVID-19, and other catastrophic events;

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, including changes in relationship with the U.S., in countries where we operate, particularly in China, Russia and
emerging markets.

As we continue to operate and grow 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.

In addition, there continues to be significant uncertainty about the future relationships between the U.S. and China and the U.S. and Russia, including with respect to trade
policies, treaties, government regulations and tariffs. Any increased trade barriers or restrictions on global trade, especially trade with China or Russia, could adversely impact
our competitive position, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

We face significant competition in the regions 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 with diesel engines and related diesel products; however, new technologies continue to be developed for gasoline, natural gas, hydrogen, electrification
and other technologies, and we will continue to face new competition from these expanding technologies. Our products primarily compete on the basis of performance, price,
total cost of ownership, fuel economy, emissions compliance, speed of delivery, quality and customer support. We also face competitors in some emerging regions who have
established local practices and long standing relationships with participants in these

24

Table of Contents

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.

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

At December 31, 2021, we employed approximately 59,900 persons worldwide. Approximately 21,200 of our employees worldwide were represented by various unions under
collective bargaining agreements that expire between 2022 and 2026. 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 slowdowns experienced by us, our customers or suppliers could result in
slowdowns or closures that would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flow.

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, financial
condition and cash flows. 

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. See Management's Discussion and Analysis
for additional information.

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 current and 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 and length 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.

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.

(SEC) on February 10, 2021.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Overview

We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-related components
including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, electric power generation systems, batteries,
electrified power systems, hydrogen production and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and other
customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Navistar International
Corporation, Daimler Trucks North America and Stellantis N.V. We serve our customers through a service network of approximately 500 wholly-owned, joint venture and
independent distributor locations and more than 10,000 Cummins certified dealer locations in approximately 190 countries and territories.

Our reportable operating segments consist of Engine, Distribution, Components, Power Systems and New Power. This reporting structure is organized according to the products
and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and smaller) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-
highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture,
power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling
engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the
world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, electronics, fuel systems and automated transmissions. The Power Systems
segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine
and rail), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and other power components. The New Power segment designs, manufactures, sells and supports hydrogen
production solutions as well as electrified power systems ranging from fully electric to hybrid along with innovative components and subsystems, including battery and fuel cell
technologies. The New Power segment is currently in the development phase with a primary focus on research and development activities for our power systems, components
and subsystems. We continue to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification and alternative power technologies, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end
customers.

Table of Contents

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, production
schedules, stoppages and supply chain challenges. Economic downturns in markets we serve generally result in reduced sales of our products and can result in price reductions in
certain products and/or markets. As a worldwide business, our operations are also affected by currency, political, economic, public health crises, epidemics or pandemics 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.

COVID-19 Update

The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 became a global pandemic with the resultant economic impacts evolving into a worldwide recession. The pandemic triggered a
significant downturn in our markets globally, which negatively impacted our sales and results of operations during 2020. While the majority of the negative impacts to demand
largely subsided in 2021, we are still experiencing supply chain disruptions and related financial impacts reflected as increased cost of sales. Our industry continues to be
unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints leading to shortages across multiple components categories and limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand. Our
customers are also experiencing other supply chain issues and slowing production. Should the supply chain issues continue for an extended period of time or worsen, the impact
on our production and supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our Board of Directors (the Board)
continues to monitor and evaluate all of these factors and the related impacts on our business and operations, and we are diligently working to minimize the supply chain
impacts to our business and to our customers.

Worldwide revenues improved 21 percent in 2021 compared to 2020, as we experienced higher demand in all operating segments and all geographic regions due to an improved
economic environment and fewer effects from the COVID-19 pandemic. International demand (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved by 27 percent compared to 2020, with
higher sales in all geographic regions. The increase in international sales was principally due to higher demand in all components businesses (primarily emission solutions in
India and Western Europe), industrial (especially mining) and power generation equipment (mainly in China and India), most distribution product lines and most off-highway
markets (principally construction markets in Europe, Asia Pacific and China). Favorable foreign currency fluctuations impacted international sales by 3 percent (mainly the
Chinese renminbi, Euro and Australian dollar). Net sales in the U.S. and Canada improved by 17 percent primarily due to increased demand in North American on-highway
markets, which positively impacted all components businesses.

The following table contains sales and EBITDA (defined as earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests)
by operating segment for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. See Note 22, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in our Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

Cost of sales, selling, general and administrative and research, development and engineering expenses increased due to higher compensation costs (primarily driven by the
restoration of 2020 salary reductions, higher variable compensation and 2020 salary increases deferred until 2021), which impacted the variances in gross margin and net
income as well as all of our operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. for 2021 was $2.1 billion, or $14.61 per diluted share, on sales of $24.0 billion, compared to 2020 net income attributable to
Cummins Inc. of $1.8 billion, or $12.01 per diluted share, on sales of $19.8 billion.

The increases in net income attributable to Cummins Inc. and earnings per diluted share was driven by higher net sales, increased gross margin, higher equity, royalty and
interest income from investees (primarily in China due to stronger demand for trucks and construction equipment in the first half of the year), favorable foreign currency
fluctuations (principally the Chinese renminbi and Australian dollar, partially offset by the Brazilian real and British pound) and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by
higher compensation expenses and incremental costs associated with supply chain constraints. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to higher volumes and favorable
pricing, partially offset by higher compensation expenses, increased freight costs and higher material costs. The 1.0 percentage point decrease in gross margin as a percentage of
net sales was primarily due to higher compensation expenses and increased freight costs due to supply chain constraints, which increased at a faster rate than the increase in net
sales. Diluted earnings per common share for 2021 benefited $0.34 per share from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding, primarily due to the stock repurchase program.

We generated $2.3 billion of operating cash flows in 2021, compared to $2.7 billion in 2020. See the section titled "Cash Flows" in the "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL
RESOURCES" section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.

Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at December 31, 2021, was 30.7 percent, compared to 31.7 percent at December 31, 2020. The decrease was
primarily due to a $412 million higher equity balance driven by strong returns on pension assets. At December 31, 2021, we had $3.2 billion in cash and marketable securities on
hand and access to our $3.5 billion credit facilities, if necessary, to meet currently anticipated working capital, investment and funding needs.

In 2021, we repurchased $1.4 billion or 5.7 million shares of common stock. In December 2021, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common
stock upon completion of the 2019 repurchase plan. See Note 15, "CUMMINS INC. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY" to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional
information.

On August 18, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated five-year revolving credit agreement, which allows us to borrow up to $2 billion of unsecured funds at any time
prior to August 18, 2026. On August 18, 2021, we also entered into an amended and restated 364-day credit agreement, which allows us to borrow up to $1.5 billion of
unsecured funds at any time prior to August 17, 2022. This credit agreement amended and restated the prior $1.5 billion 364-day credit facility that matured on August 18,
2021.

On August 3, 2021, we announced our exploration of strategic alternatives for our filtration business. Potential strategic alternatives to be explored include the separation of our
filtration business into a stand-alone company. The execution of this exploration process is dependent upon business and market conditions, along with a number of other factors
and considerations.

In July 2021, the Board authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 7.4 percent from $1.35 per share to $1.45 per share.

In 2021, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trust was 8.1 percent while our U.K. pension trust gain was 5.1 percent. Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and
non-qualified plans, were 121 percent funded at December 31, 2021. Our U.S. defined benefit plan, which represented approximately 52 percent of the worldwide pension
obligation, was 138 percent funded, and our U.K. defined benefit plan was 127 percent funded at December 31, 2021. We expect to contribute approximately $47 million in
cash to our global pension plans in 2022. In addition, we expect our 2022 net periodic pension cost to approximate $33 million. See application of critical accounting estimates
within MD&A and Note 10, "PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS," to the Consolidated Financial Statements, for additional information concerning
our pension and other postretirement benefit plans.

As of the date of this filing, our credit ratings and outlooks from the credit rating agencies remain unchanged.

Cost of sales, selling, general and administrative and research, development and engineering expenses increased due to higher compensation costs (primarily driven by the
restoration of 2020 salary reductions, higher variable compensation and 2020 salary increases deferred until 2021), which impacted the variances in gross margin and net
income as well as all of our operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Net Sales

Net sales increased $4.2 billion, primarily driven by the following:

•

•

•

•

Engine segment sales increased 24 percent principally due to higher volumes in global medium-duty truck markets and the North American heavy-duty truck and pick-up
truck markets.

Components segment sales increased 27 percent largely due to higher emission solutions demand in North America, India and Western Europe.

Power Systems segment sales increased 22 percent primarily due to higher demand in power generation markets in China, India and North America and global mining
markets.

Distribution segment sales increased 9 percent mainly due to higher demand across all product lines in North America and improved demand in Russia, Asia Pacific,
Africa and India.

Table of Contents

•

•

Favorable foreign currency fluctuations of 2 percent of total sales, primarily in the Chinese renminbi, Euro and Australian dollar.

New Power segment sales increased 61 percent principally due to higher sales in North America.

Sales to international markets (excluding the U.S. and Canada), based on location of customers, were 44 percent of total net sales in 2021, compared with 42 percent of total net
sales in 2020. A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the "OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS" section.

Cost of Sales

The types of expenses included in cost of sales are the following: parts and material consumption, including direct and indirect materials; salaries, wages and benefits;
depreciation on production equipment and facilities and amortization of technology intangibles; estimated costs of warranty programs and campaigns; production utilities;
production-related purchasing; warehousing, including receiving and inspection; freight costs; engineering support costs; repairs and maintenance; production and warehousing
facility property insurance; rent for production facilities and other production overhead.

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased $801 million and decreased 1.0 points as a percentage of sales. The increase in gross margin was mainly due to higher volumes and favorable pricing,
partially offset by higher compensation expenses, increased freight costs and higher material costs. The 1.0 percentage point decrease in gross margin as a percentage of net
sales was primarily due to higher compensation expenses and increased freight costs due to supply chain constraints, which increased at a faster rate than the increase in net
sales. The provision for base warranties issued as a percentage of sales, was 2.1 percent in 2021 and 2.2 percent in 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $249 million, primarily due to higher compensation expenses. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a
percentage of sales, decreased to 9.9 percent in 2021 from 10.7 percent in 2020. The decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales was mainly
due to net sales increasing at a faster rate than the increase in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses increased $184 million, primarily due to higher compensation expenses and increased spending on consulting. Overall,
research, development and engineering expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 4.5 percent in 2021 from 4.6 percent in 2020, mainly due to net sales increasing at a
faster rate than the increase in research, development and engineering expenses. Research activities continue to focus on development of new products to meet future emission
standards around the world, improvements in fuel economy performance of diesel and natural gas-powered engines and related components as well as development activities
around fully electric, hybrid and hydrogen powertrain solutions.

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income From Investees

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees increased $54 million, primarily due to higher earnings at Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Tata Cummins Ltd.
(excluding the 2020 benefits noted below) and Chongqing Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., as well as the absence of $13 million of impairment charges and an $8 million loss on
sale of a joint venture both recorded in 2020. These increases were partially offset by the absence of a $37 million favorable adjustment ($18 million of which related to Tata
Cummins Ltd.) as the result of tax changes within India's 2020-2021 Union Budget (India Tax Law Changes) passed in March 2020 and $18 million of technology fee revenue
related to Tata Cummins Ltd., both recorded in 2020. See NOTE 4, "INCOME TAXES" to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on India Tax Law
Changes.

Our joint venture agreement for Cummins Westport, Inc. expired on December 31, 2021, and will not be renewed. Beginning in January 2022, engines previously sold through
the joint venture will now be included in our consolidated results.

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for 2021 was 21.3 percent compared to 22.5 percent for 2020.

The year ended December 31, 2021, contained unfavorable net discrete tax items of $9 million, primarily due to $12 million of unfavorable provision to return adjustments
related to the 2020 filed tax returns, partially offset by $3 million of favorable other discrete tax items.

The year ended December 31, 2020, contained $26 million of unfavorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to $33 million of unfavorable changes in tax reserves and
$10 million of withholding tax adjustments, partially offset by $15 million of favorable changes due to the India Tax Law Change. The India Tax Law Change eliminated the
dividend distribution tax and replaced it with a lower rate withholding tax as the burden shifted from the dividend payor to the dividend recipient for a net favorable income
statement impact of $35 million. See NOTE 4, "INCOME TAXES" to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on India Tax Law Changes.

The change in effective tax rate for the year ended December 31, 2021, versus year ended December 31, 2020, was primarily due to a $16 million decrease in net discrete tax
items.

Our effective tax rate for 2022 is expected to approximate 21.5 percent, excluding any discrete tax items that may arise.

Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests eliminate the income or loss attributable to non-Cummins ownership interests in our consolidated entities. Noncontrolling interests in income of
consolidated subsidiaries increased $11 million principally due to higher earnings at Cummins India Limited and Eaton Cummins Joint Venture, partially offset by the absence
of a $19 million unfavorable adjustment as the result

Table of Contents

of India Tax Law Changes passed in March 2020. See NOTE 4, "INCOME TAXES" to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on India Tax Law
Changes.

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

Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc. decreased $342 million and $2.60 per share, respectively, primarily due to higher net sales, increased
gross margin, higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees (primarily in China due to stronger demand for trucks and construction equipment in the first half of the
year), favorable foreign currency fluctuations (principally the Chinese renminbi and Australian dollar, partially offset by the Brazilian real and British pound) and a lower
effective tax rate, partially offset by higher compensation expenses and incremental costs associated with supply chain constraints. Diluted earnings per common share for 2021
benefited $0.34 per share from fewer weighted-average shares outstanding, primarily due to the stock repurchase program.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS

Our reportable operating segments consist of the Engine, Distribution, Components, Power Systems and New Power segments. This reporting structure is organized according to
the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBITDA as the primary basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of
our reportable operating segments. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance
on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending
upon many factors. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments. See Note 22, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for additional information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in our Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 became a global pandemic with the resultant economic impacts evolving into a worldwide recession. The pandemic triggered a
significant downturn in our markets globally, which negatively impacted our sales and results of operations during 2020. While the majority of the negative impacts to demand
largely subsided in 2021, we are still experiencing supply chain disruptions and related financial impacts reflected as increased cost of sales. Our industry continues to be
unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints leading to shortages across multiple components categories and limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand. Our
customers are also experiencing other supply chain issues and slowing production.

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

For all prior year segment results comparisons to 2019 see the Results of Operations section of our 2020 Form 10-K.

2022 OUTLOOK

COVID-19 Impacts

The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 became a global pandemic with the resultant economic impacts evolving into a worldwide recession. The pandemic triggered a
significant downturn in our markets globally, which negatively impacted our sales and results of operations during 2020. While the majority of the negative impacts to demand
largely subsided in 2021, we are still experiencing supply chain disruptions and related financial impacts reflected as increased cost of sales. Our industry continues to be
unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints leading to shortages across multiple components categories and limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand. Our
customers are also experiencing other supply chain issues and slowing production. Should the supply chain issues continue for an extended period of time or worsen, the impact
on our production and supply chain could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Our Board of Directors (the Board)
continues to monitor and evaluate all of these factors and the related impacts on our business and operations, and we are diligently working to minimize the supply chain
impacts to our business and to our customers.

Business Outlook

Our outlook reflects the following positive trends and challenges to our business that could impact our revenue and earnings potential in 2022.

Positive Trends

• We expect demand for pick-up trucks in North America to remain strong.

• We estimate North American medium-duty and heavy-duty truck demand will continue to improve.

• We believe market demand for trucks in India will continue the improvement trend from the second half of 2021.

• We anticipate our aftermarket business will continue to improve, driven primarily by increased truck utilization in North America.

•

Our liquidity of $6.4 billion in cash, marketable securities and available credit facilities puts us in a strong position to deal with any uncertainties that may arise in 2022.

Challenges

•

•

•

Supply constraints driven by strong demand in multiple end markets and regions may lead to increased costs, including higher freight and conversion costs.

Continued increases in material and commodity costs could negatively impact earnings.

Our industry's sales continue to be unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints leading to shortages across multiple components categories and limiting our
collective ability to meet end-user demand. Our customers are also experiencing other supply chain issues slowing production.

• We expect market demand in truck and construction markets in China to decline from 2021 full year levels.

Separation of Filtration Business

On August 3, 2021, we announced our exploration of strategic alternatives for our filtration business. Potential strategic alternatives to be explored include the separation of our
filtration business into a stand-alone company. The execution of this exploration process is dependent upon business and market conditions, along with a number of other factors
and considerations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Key Working Capital and Balance Sheet Data

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

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $466 million, primarily due to higher working capital requirements of $724 million and a net decrease in changes in other
liabilities of $195 million, partially offset by higher consolidated net income of $353 million and lower restructuring payments of $109 million. During 2021, higher working
capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $359 million compared to a cash inflow of $365 million in 2020, mainly due to higher inventories, partially offset by higher
accrued expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $154 million, principally due to higher capital expenditures of $206 million, partially offset by favorable changes in cash flows
from derivatives not designated as hedges of $45 million and increased proceeds from sale of land of $20 million.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $2,507 million, primarily due to lower proceeds from borrowings of $1,935 million, mainly resulting from our $2 billion bond
issuance in 2020, and higher repurchases of common stock of $761 million, partially offset by lower net payments of commercial paper of $327 million.

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents increased $46 million, primarily due to favorable fluctuations in the British pound of $55 million, partially
offset by unfavorable fluctuations in the South Korean won, Chinese renminbi and Australian dollar.

 The five-year credit facility for $2.0 billion and the 364-day credit facility for $1.5 billion, maturing August 2026 and August 2022, respectively, are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for
our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At December 31, 2021, we had $313 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our
revolving credit facilities to $3.2 billion.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

A significant portion of our cash flows are generated outside the U.S. 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 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 withholding taxes, for example, if we repatriated
cash from certain foreign subsidiaries whose earnings we asserted are completely or partially permanently reinvested. Foreign earnings for which we assert permanent
reinvestment outside the U.S. consist primarily of earnings of our China, India and Netherlands domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any
earnings for which we 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.

Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity

On August 18, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated five-year revolving credit agreement, which allows us to borrow up to $2 billion of unsecured funds at any time
prior to August 18, 2026. On August 18, 2021, we also entered into an amended and restated 364-day credit agreement, which allows us to borrow up to $1.5 billion of
unsecured funds at any time prior to August 17, 2022. This credit agreement amended and restated the prior $1.5 billion 364-day credit facility that matured on August 18,
2021. See Note 12, "DEBT," to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

We have access to committed credit facilities that total $3.5 billion, including the $1.5 billion 364-day facility that expires August 17, 2022 and our $2.0 billion five-year
facility that expires on August 18, 2026. We intend to maintain credit facilities at the current or higher aggregate amounts by renewing or replacing these facilities at or before
expiration. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes. Both
credit agreements include various financial covenants, including, among others, maintaining a net debt to capital ratio of no more than 0.65 to 1.0. At December 31, 2021, our
leverage ratio was 0.12 to 1.0. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at December 31, 2021.

We can issue up to $3.5 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board authorized commercial paper programs. The programs
facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third-party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper borrowings for general
corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facilities and commercial paper programs should not exceed $3.5 billion. See Note 12,
"DEBT," to our Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

At December 31, 2021, we had $313 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.2
billion.

Table of Contents

In the second half of 2021, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our $500 million senior notes, due in 2025, from a fixed rate of 0.75 percent to a
floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. We also entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert $765 million of our $850 million senior
notes, due in 2030, from a fixed rate of 1.50 percent to a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. The swaps were designated, and will be accounted for, as
fair value hedges.

As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the SEC on February 13, 2019. Under
this shelf registration we may offer, from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred and preference stock, depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and
stock purchase units. We plan to file a new shelf registration statement in the first quarter of 2022, prior to the expiration of the shelf registration statement currently in effect.

In July 2017, the U.K.'s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), announced it intends to phase out LIBOR by the end of
2021. The cessation date for submission and publication of rates for certain tenors of LIBOR has since been extended until mid-2023. Various central bank committees and
working groups continue to discuss replacement of benchmark rates, the process for amending existing LIBOR-based contracts and the potential economic impacts of different
alternatives. The Alternative Reference Rates Committee has identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as its preferred alternative rate for U.S. dollar LIBOR.
SOFR is a measure of the cost of borrowing cash overnight, collateralized by U.S. Treasury securities, and is based on directly observable U.S. Treasury-backed repurchase
transactions. We have evaluated the potential impact of the replacement of the LIBOR benchmark interest rate including risk management, internal operational readiness and
monitoring the Financial Accounting Standards Board standard-setting process to address financial reporting issues that might arise in connection with transition from LIBOR
to a new benchmark rate. While we do not believe the change will materially impact us due to our operational and system readiness coupled with relevant contractual fallback
language, we continue to evaluate all eventual transition risks. In anticipation of LIBOR's phase out, our most recent revolving credit agreements include a well-documented
transition mechanism for selecting a benchmark replacement rate for LIBOR, subject to our agreement. Additionally, with respect to our $1.3 billion in LIBOR-based fixed to
variable rate swaps maturing in 2025 and 2030, we reviewed and believe our adherence to the 2020 LIBOR fallback protocol will allow for a smooth transition to the designated
replacement rate when that transition occurs.

Supply Chain Financing

We currently have supply chain financing programs with financial intermediaries, which provide certain vendors the option to be paid by financial intermediaries earlier than
the due date on the applicable invoice. When a vendor utilizes the program and receives an early payment from a financial intermediary, they take a discount on the invoice. We
then pay the financial intermediary the face amount of the invoice on the regularly scheduled due date. The maximum amount that we may have outstanding under the program
is $361 million. We do not reimburse vendors for any costs they incur for participation in the program and their participation is completely voluntary. As a result, all amounts
owed to the financial intermediaries are presented as "Accounts payable" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts due to the financial intermediaries reflected in accounts
payable at December 31, 2021, were $147 million.

Uses of Cash

Stock Repurchases

In December 2021, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2019 repurchase plan. In December 2019, the
Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2018 repurchase plan. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we
made the following purchases under our stock repurchase program:

Dividends

Total dividends paid to common shareholders in 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $809 million, $782 million and $761 million, respectively. Declaration and payment of dividends in
the future depends upon our income and liquidity position, among other factors, and is subject to declaration by the Board, who meets quarterly to consider our dividend
payment. We expect to fund dividend payments with cash from operations.

In July 2021, the Board authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 7.4 percent from $1.35 per share to $1.45 per share. Cash dividends per share paid to common

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures, including spending on internal use software, were $786 million, $575 million and $775 million in 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We continue to
invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend an estimated $850 million to $900 million in 2022 on capital expenditures, excluding internal
use software, with over 60 percent of these expenditures expected to be invested in North America. In addition, we plan to spend an estimated $70 million to $80 million on
internal use software in 2022.

Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt

We had $313 million of commercial paper outstanding at December 31, 2021, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not
require significant cash outflows until 2023 when our 3.65 percent senior notes and 2025 when our 0.75 percent senior notes are due. Required annual long-term debt principal
payments range from $24 million to $536 million over the next five years. See Note 12, "DEBT," to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Pensions

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 121 percent funded at December 31, 2021. Our U.S. defined benefit plan, which represented
approximately 52 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, was 138 percent funded, and our U.K. defined benefit plan was 127 percent funded at December 31, 2021. 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 2021, the investment gain on our U.S. pension trust was 8.1 percent while our U.K. pension trust gain was 5.1 percent. Approximately 69 percent
of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 31 percent of our plan assets are held in less liquid,
but market valued investments, including real estate, private equity, venture capital, opportunistic credit and insurance contracts.

We sponsor funded and unfunded domestic and foreign defined benefit pension plans. Contributions to the U.S. and U.K. plans were as follows:

future events or otherwise.

Management's Assessment of Liquidity

Our financial condition and liquidity remain strong. Our solid balance sheet and credit ratings enable us 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 believe our existing cash and marketable securities,
operating cash flow and revolving credit facilities provide us with the financial flexibility needed to fund common stock repurchases, dividend payments, targeted capital
expenditures, projected pension obligations, acquisitions, working capital and debt service obligations through 2022 and beyond. We continue to generate significant cash from
operations and maintain access to our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper programs as noted above.

APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in Note 1, "SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES," of our Consolidated Financial
Statements which discusses accounting policies that we selected from acceptable alternatives.

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. which often requires 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

50

Table of Contents

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 the Board. We believe our critical accounting estimates include estimating liabilities for
warranty programs, assessing goodwill impairments, accounting for income taxes and pension benefits.

Warranty Programs

We estimate and record a liability for base warranty programs at the time our products are sold. Our estimates are based on historical experience and reflect management's best
estimates of expected costs at the time products are sold and subsequent adjustment to those expected costs when actual costs differ. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding
the nature and frequency of product recall programs, the liability for such programs is recorded when we commit to a recall action or when a recall becomes probable and
estimable, which generally occurs when management internally approves or commits to the action. Our warranty liability is generally affected by component failure rates, repair
costs and the point of failure within the product life cycle. Future events and circumstances related to these factors could materially change our estimates and require
adjustments to our liability. New product launches require a greater use of judgment in developing estimates until historical experience becomes available. Product specific
experience is typically available four or five quarters after product launch, with a clear experience trend evident eight quarters after launch. We generally record warranty
expense for new products upon shipment using a preceding product's warranty history and a multiplicative factor based upon preceding similar product experience and new
product assessment until sufficient new product data is available for warranty estimation. We then use a blend of actual new product experience and preceding product historical
experience for several subsequent quarters and new product specific experience thereafter. Note 13, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," to our Consolidated Financial
Statements contains a summary of the activity in our warranty liability account for 2021, 2020 and 2019 including adjustments to pre-existing warranties.

Goodwill Impairment

We are required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether a goodwill impairment event has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to
determine the fair value of our reporting units. We test for goodwill impairment at the reporting unit level and our reporting units are the operating segments or the components
of operating segments that constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and is regularly reviewed by management. 

We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis
for determining whether it is necessary to perform an annual quantitative goodwill impairment test. We elected this option on certain reporting units. The following events and
circumstances are considered when evaluating whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount:

• Macroeconomic conditions, such as a deterioration in general economic conditions, fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and/or other developments in equity and credit

markets;

•

•

•

•

•

Industry and market considerations, such as a deterioration in the environment in which an entity operates, material loss in market share and significant declines in
product pricing;

Cost factors, such as an increase in raw materials, labor or other costs;

Overall financial performance, such as negative or declining cash flows or a decline in actual or forecasted revenue;

Other relevant entity-specific events, such as material changes in management or key personnel and

Events affecting a reporting unit, such as a change in the composition or carrying amount of its net assets including acquisitions and dispositions.

The examples noted above are not all-inclusive, and we consider other relevant events and circumstances that affect the fair value of a reporting unit in determining whether to
perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test.

Our goodwill recoverability assessment is based on our annual strategic planning process. This process includes an extensive review of expectations for the long-term growth of
our businesses and forecasted future cash flows. In order to determine the valuation of our reporting units, we use either the market approach or the income approach using a
discounted cash flow model. Our income approach method uses a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods, plus a terminal value at the
end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate rate of return. Our estimates are based upon our historical experience, our current knowledge
from our commercial relationships and available external information about future trends.

51

Table of Contents

The discounted cash flow model requires us to make projections of revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, working capital investment and fixed asset additions for the
reporting units over a multi-year period. Additionally, management must estimate a weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects a market rate, for each reporting unit for use
as a discount rate. The discounted cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit and, if less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as a goodwill
impairment loss. In addition, we also perform a sensitivity analysis to determine how much our forecasts can fluctuate before the fair value of a reporting unit would be lower
than its carrying amount. We perform the required procedures as of the end of our fiscal third quarter.

Accounting for Income Taxes

We determine our income tax expense using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects of
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Future tax benefits of net operating loss
and credit carryforwards are also recognized as deferred tax assets. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future
profitability and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our net deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2021, we recorded net deferred tax assets of
$25 million. The assets included $395 million for the value of net operating loss and credit carryforwards. A valuation allowance of $360 million was recorded to reduce the tax
assets to the net value management believed was more likely than not to be realized. In the event our operating performance deteriorates, future assessments could conclude that
a larger valuation allowance will be needed to further reduce the deferred tax assets.

In addition, we operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an
extended period of time to resolve. We accrue for the estimated additional tax and interest that may result from tax authorities disputing uncertain tax positions. We believe we
made adequate provisions for income taxes for all years that are subject to audit based upon the latest information available. A more complete description of our income taxes
and the future benefits of our net operating loss and credit carryforwards is disclosed in Note 4, "INCOME TAXES," to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Pension Benefits

We sponsor a number of pension plans globally, with the majority of assets in the U.S. and the U.K. In the U.S. and the U.K., we have major defined benefit plans that are
separately funded. We account for our pension programs in accordance with employers' accounting for defined benefit pension plans, which requires that amounts recognized in
financial statements be determined using an actuarial basis. As a result, our pension benefit programs are based on a number of statistical and judgmental assumptions that
attempt to anticipate future events and are used in calculating the expense and liability related to our plans each year at December 31. These assumptions include discount rates
used to value liabilities, assumed rates of return on plan assets, future compensation increases, employee turnover rates, actuarial assumptions relating to retirement age,
mortality rates and participant withdrawals. The actuarial assumptions we use may differ significantly from actual results due to changing economic conditions, participant life
span and withdrawal rates. These differences may result in a material impact to the amount of net periodic pension cost to be recorded in our Consolidated Financial Statements
in the future.

The expected long-term return on plan assets is used in calculating the net periodic pension cost. We considered several factors in developing our expected rate of return on plan
assets. The long-term rate of return considers historical returns and expected returns on current and projected asset allocations. Projected returns are based primarily on broad,
publicly traded passive fixed income and equity indices and forward-looking estimates of the value added by active investment management. At December 31, 2021, based
upon our target asset allocations, it is anticipated that our U.S. investment policy will generate an average annual return over the 30-year projection period equal to or in excess
of 6.25 percent, including the additional positive returns expected from active investment management.

The one-year return for our U.S. plans was 8.1 percent for 2021. Our U.S. plan assets averaged annualized returns of 8.61 percent over the prior ten years and resulted in
approximately $431 million of actuarial gains in accumulated other comprehensive loss (AOCL) in the same period. Based on the historical returns and forward-looking return
expectations for capital markets, as plan assets continue to be de-risked, consistent with our investment policy, we believe our investment return assumption of 6.25 percent in
2022 for U.S. pension assets is reasonable and attainable.

The methodology used to determine the rate of return on pension plan assets in the U.K. was based on establishing an equity-risk premium over current long-term bond yields
adjusted based on target asset allocations. At December 31, 2021, based upon our target asset allocations, it is anticipated that our U.K. investment policy will generate an
average annual return over the 20-year projection period equal to or in excess of 4 percent. The one-year return for our U.K. plans was 5.1 percent for 2021. We generated
average annualized returns of 9.14 percent over ten years, resulting in approximately $767 million of actuarial gains in AOCL. Our strategy with respect to our investments in
pension plan assets is to be invested with a long-term outlook. Based on the historical returns and forward-looking return expectations as the plan assets continue to be de-
risked, we believe that an investment return assumption of

52

Table of Contents

3.75 percent in 2022 for U.K. pension assets is reasonable and attainable. Our target allocation for 2022 and pension plan asset allocations at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are

The differences between the actual return on plan assets and expected long-term return on plan assets are recognized in the asset value used to calculate net periodic cost over
five years. The table below sets forth our expected rate of return for 2022 and the expected return assumptions used to develop our pension cost for the period 2019-2021.

Pension accounting offers various acceptable alternatives to account for the differences that eventually arise between the estimates used in the actuarial valuations and the actual
results. It is acceptable to delay or immediately recognize these differences. Under the delayed recognition alternative, changes in pension obligations (including those resulting
from plan amendments) and changes in the value of assets set aside to meet those obligations are not recognized in net periodic pension cost as they occur but are recognized
initially in AOCL and subsequently amortized as components of net periodic pension cost systematically and gradually over future periods. In addition to this approach, we may
also adopt immediate recognition of actuarial gains or losses. Immediate recognition introduces volatility in financial results. We have chosen to delay recognition and amortize
actuarial differences over future periods. If we adopted the immediate recognition approach, we would record a loss of $545 million ($418 million after-tax) from cumulative
actuarial net losses for our U.S. and U.K. pension plans.

The difference between the expected return and the actual return on plan assets is deferred from recognition in our results of operations and under certain circumstances, such as
when the difference exceeds 10 percent of the greater of the market value of plan assets or the projected benefit obligation, the difference is amortized over future years of
service. This is also true of changes to actuarial assumptions. Under the delayed recognition alternative, the actuarial gains and losses are recognized and recorded in AOCL. As
our losses related to the U.S. and U.K. pension plans exceed 10 percent of their respective plan assets, the excess is amortized over the average remaining service lives of
participating employees. Net actuarial gains increased our shareholders' equity by $280 million after-tax in 2021. The gain is primarily due to strong asset returns and higher
discount rates in the U.S. and U.K.

The table below sets forth the net periodic pension cost for the years ended December 31 and our expected cost for 2022.

We expect 2022 net periodic pension cost to decrease compared to 2021, primarily due to higher discount rates in the U.S. and U.K., and favorable actuarial experience in the
U.S., partially offset by a lower expected rate of return in the U.K. The decrease in net periodic pension cost in 2021 compared to 2020 was primarily due to favorable actuarial
experience and investment returns, partially offset by lower discount rates in the U.S. and U.K. The increase in net periodic pension cost in 2020 compared to 2019 was due to
lower discount rates in the U.S. and U.K.

The weighted-average discount rates used to develop our net periodic pension cost are set forth in the table below.

The discount rate enables us to state expected future cash payments for benefits as a present value on the measurement date. The guidelines for setting this rate suggest the use of
a high-quality corporate bond rate. We used bond information provided by Moody's Investor Services, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Rating Services. All bonds used to develop
our hypothetical portfolio in the U.S. and U.K. were deemed high-quality, non-callable bonds (Aa or better) at December 31, 2021, by at least one of the bond rating agencies.

Our model called for projected payments until near extinction for the U.S. and the U.K. For both countries, our model matches the present value of the plan's projected benefit
payments to the market value of the theoretical settlement bond portfolio. A single equivalent discount rate is determined to align the present value of the required cash flow
with the value of the bond portfolio. The resulting discount rate is reflective of both the current interest rate environment and the plan's distinct liability characteristics.

The table below sets forth the estimated impact on our 2022 net periodic pension cost relative to a change in the discount rate and a change in the expected rate of return on plan
assets.

The above sensitivities reflect the impact of changing one assumption at a time. A higher discount rate decreases the plan obligations and decreases our net periodic pension
cost. A lower discount rate increases the plan obligations and increases our net periodic pension cost. It should be noted that economic factors and conditions often affect
multiple assumptions simultaneously and the effects of changes in key assumptions are not necessarily linear. Note 10, "PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT
BENEFITS," to our Consolidated Financial Statements provides a summary of our pension benefit plan activity, the funded status of our plans and the amounts recognized in
our Consolidated Financial Statements.

ITEM 7A.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to financial risk resulting from volatility in foreign exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. This risk is closely monitored and managed through the
use of physical forward contracts (which are not considered derivatives), and financial derivative instruments including foreign currency forward contracts, commodity swap
contracts and interest rate swaps. 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 counterparty 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.

We also enter into physical forward contracts with certain suppliers to purchase minimum volumes of commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods. These
arrangements, as further described below, enable us to fix the prices of portions of our normal purchases of these commodities, which otherwise are subject to market volatility.

The following describes our risk exposures and provides the results of a sensitivity analysis performed at December 31, 2021. The sensitivity analysis assumes instantaneous,
parallel shifts in foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

As a result of our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks. We transact business in foreign currencies and, as a result, our income
experiences some volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. To help manage our exposure to exchange rate volatility, we use foreign currency forward
contracts on a regular basis to hedge forecasted intercompany and third-party sales and purchases denominated in non-functional currencies. Our foreign currency cash flow
hedges generally mature within two years. These foreign currency forward contracts are designated and qualify as foreign currency cash flow hedges. For the years ended
December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no circumstances that resulted in the discontinuance of a foreign currency cash flow hedge.

To minimize the income volatility resulting from the remeasurement of net monetary assets and payables denominated in a currency other than the functional currency, we enter
into foreign currency forward contracts, which are considered economic hedges. The

54

Table of Contents

objective is to offset the gain or loss from remeasurement with the gain or loss from the fair market valuation of the forward contract. These derivative instruments are not
designated as hedges.

At December 31, 2021, the potential gain or loss in the fair value of our outstanding foreign currency contracts, assuming a hypothetical 10 percent fluctuation in the currencies
of such contracts, would be approximately $103 million. The sensitivity analysis of the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates assumes the notional value to
remain constant for the next 12 months. The analysis ignores the impact of foreign exchange movements on our competitive position and potential changes in sales levels. Any
change in the value of the contracts, real or hypothetical, would be significantly offset by an inverse change in the value of the underlying hedged items.

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 and interest rate
locks. The objective of the swaps is to more effectively balance our borrowing costs and interest rate risk. See "Interest Rate Risk" section in Note 12, "DEBT," to our
Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

At any time, a change in interest rates could have an adverse impact on the fair value of our portfolios. Assuming a hypothetical adverse movement in interest rates of one
percentage point, the combined value of our interest rate derivatives portfolios would be reduced by $64 million, as calculated as of December 31, 2021. However, this does not
take into consideration an offset in the underlying hedged items. While these are our best estimates of the impact of the specified interest rate scenario, actual results could
differ from those projected. The sensitivity analysis presented assumes interest rate changes are instantaneous, parallel shifts in the yield curve.

Commodity Price Risk

We are exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices due to contractual agreements with component suppliers. In order to protect ourselves against future price volatility and,
consequently, fluctuations in gross margins, we periodically enter into commodity swap and forward contracts with designated banks and other counterparties to fix the cost of
certain raw material purchases with the objective of minimizing changes in inventory cost due to market price fluctuations. These commodity swaps are designated and qualify
as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2021, realized and unrealized gains and losses related to these hedges were not material to our financial statements. We also enter into
physical forward contracts, which qualify for the normal purchases scope exceptions and are treated as purchase commitments.

We also limit our exposure to commodity price risk by entering into purchasing arrangements to fix the price of certain volumes of platinum and palladium expected to be used
in our products. We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum and palladium to purchase some volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices
for various periods, generally less than two years. These arrangements enable us to fix the prices of a portion of our purchases of these commodities, which otherwise are
subject to market volatility.

Management's Report on Financial Statements and Practices

MANAGEMENT'S REPORT TO SHAREHOLDERS

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements of Cummins Inc. were prepared by management, which is responsible for their integrity and objectivity. The statements
were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and include amounts that are based on management's best judgments and estimates. The other
financial information included in the annual report is consistent with that in the financial statements.

Management also recognizes its responsibility for conducting our affairs according to the highest standards of personal and corporate conduct. This responsibility is
characterized and reflected in key policy statements issued from time to time regarding, among other things, conduct of its business activities within the laws of the host
countries in which we operate, within the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and potentially conflicting interests of its employees. We maintain a systematic program to assess
compliance with these policies.

To comply with the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, we designed and implemented a structured and comprehensive compliance process to
evaluate our internal control over financial reporting across the enterprise.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Cummins Inc. is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Internal control over financial reporting is a
process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements for external purposes
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and concluded it was effective as of December 31, 2021. In making its assessment,
management utilized the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).

The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2021, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public
accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears herein.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Cummins Inc.

Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cummins Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related
consolidated statements of net income, comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021, including
the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway
Commission (COSO).

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and
2020, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2021 in conformity with accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2021, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.

Basis for Opinions

The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment
of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our
responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We
are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was
maintained in all material respects.

Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether
due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and
disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of
internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control
based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for our opinions.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of
financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those
policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the
company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company;
and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a
material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to
future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures
may deteriorate.

Critical Audit Matters

The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to
be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially
challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken
as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which
they relate.

Goodwill Impairment Test - Automated Transmission Reporting Unit

As described in Notes 1 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated goodwill balance was $1,287 million, and the goodwill associated with the
Automated Transmission reporting unit was $544 million as of December 31, 2021. Management performs an impairment test as of the end of the fiscal third quarter each year,
or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. Management performs the annual or interim goodwill
impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. Management’s valuation method is an income approach using a discounted cash flow
model. The discounted cash flow model requires projections of revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, working capital investment and fixed asset additions for the
Automated Transmission reporting unit over a multi-year period, and a discount rate based upon a weighted-average cost of capital.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the goodwill impairment test for the Automated Transmission reporting unit is a critical
audit matter are (i) the significant judgment by management when developing the fair value of the Automated Transmission reporting unit; (ii) a high degree of auditor
judgment, subjectivity, and effort in performing procedures and evaluating the significant assumptions related to projections of revenue and projections of gross margin; and (iii)
the audit effort involved the use of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s goodwill impairment test, including controls over the valuation of the Automated
Transmission reporting unit. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing the fair value of the Automated Transmission
reporting unit. This included evaluating the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model, testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the discounted
cash flow model, and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management related to projections of revenue and projections of gross margin.
Evaluating management’s assumptions related to projections of revenue and projections of gross margin involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were
reasonable considering (i) the current and past performance of the Automated Transmission reporting unit and (ii) the consistency with external market and industry data.
Professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in the evaluation of the appropriateness of the Company’s discounted cash flow model.

Base Product Warranty Liability

As described in Notes 1 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, management estimates and records a liability for base product warranty programs at the time products
are sold. As of December 31, 2021, the accrued liability for base product warranty programs was $1,439 million. The estimate for one of the base product warranty programs is
based on historical experience and reflects management's best estimates of expected costs at the time products are sold and subsequent adjustment to those expected costs when
actual costs differ. Management’s estimate of the base product warranty liability is generally affected by component failure rates, repair costs, and the point of failure within the
product life cycle.

The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the base product warranty liability is a critical audit matter are (i) the significant
judgment by management when determining the estimate for the base product warranty liability; and (ii) a high degree of auditor judgment, subjectivity, and effort in
performing procedures and evaluating the significant assumptions related to component failure rates, repair costs, and the point of failure within the product life cycle.

Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements.
These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to management’s estimate for the base product warranty liability, including controls related to the
determination of component failure rates, repair costs, and the point of failure within the product life cycle. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s
process for determining the base product warranty liability. This included evaluating the appropriateness of the method used by management,

59

Table of Contents

testing the completeness and accuracy of underlying data used in the warranty estimate, and evaluating the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management
related to the component failure rates, repair costs, and the point of failure within the product life cycle. Evaluating management’s assumptions related to the component failure
rates, repair costs, and the point of failure within the product life cycle involved evaluating whether the assumptions used by management were reasonable considering the
historical product experience of the Company.

CUMMINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Nature of Operations

We were founded in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company, a corporation in Columbus, Indiana and one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. In 2001, we changed our name to
Cummins Inc. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-related
components including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, electric power generation systems,
batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen production and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers and
other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a service network of approximately 500 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and
more than 10,000 Cummins certified dealer locations in approximately 190 countries and territories.

COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020 became a global pandemic with the resultant economic impacts evolving into a worldwide recession. The pandemic triggered a
significant downturn in our markets globally, which negatively impacted our sales and results of operations during 2020. While the majority of the negative impacts to demand
largely subsided in 2021, we are still experiencing supply chain disruptions and related financial impacts reflected as increased cost of sales. Our industry continues to be
unfavorably impacted by supply chain constraints leading to shortages across multiple components categories and limiting our collective ability to meet end-user demand. Our
customers are also experiencing other supply chain issues and slowing production.

Principles of Consolidation

Our Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP). All intercompany
balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

We include the accounts of all wholly-owned and majority-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries where our ownership is more than 50 percent of outstanding equity
interests except for majority-owned subsidiaries that are considered variable interest entities (VIEs) where we are not deemed to have a controlling financial interest. In
addition, we also consolidate, regardless of our ownership percentage, VIEs or joint ventures for which we are deemed to have a controlling financial interest. We have variable
interests in several businesses accounted for under the equity method of accounting, however most of these VIEs are unconsolidated.

For consolidated entities where our ownership interest is less than 100 percent, the noncontrolling ownership interests are reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. The
noncontrolling ownership interest in our income, net of tax, is classified as "Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests" in our Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for 2020 and 2019 were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.

Investments in Equity Investees

We use the equity method to account for our investments in joint ventures, affiliated companies and alliances in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence,
generally represented by equity ownership or partnership equity of at least 20 percent but not more than 50 percent. Generally, under the equity method, original investments in
these entities are recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted by our share of equity in income or losses after the date of acquisition. Investment amounts in excess of our share
of an investee's net assets are amortized over the life of the related asset creating the excess, except goodwill which is not amortized. Equity in income or losses of each investee
is recorded according to our level of ownership; if losses accumulate, we record our share of losses until our investment has been fully depleted. If our investment has been
fully depleted, we recognize additional losses only when we are the primary funding source. We eliminate (to the extent of our ownership percentage) in our Consolidated
Financial Statements the profit in inventory held by our equity method investees that has not yet been sold to a third-party. Dividends received from equity method investees
reduce the amount of our investment when received and do not impact our earnings. Our investments are classified as "Investments and advances related to equity method
investees" in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our share of the results from joint ventures, affiliated companies and alliances is reported in our Consolidated Statements of Net
Income as "Equity, royalty and interest income from investees," and is reported net of all applicable income taxes.

Our foreign equity investees are presented net of applicable foreign income taxes in our Consolidated Statements of Net Income. Our remaining U.S. equity investees are
partnerships (non-taxable), thus there is no difference between gross or net of tax presentation as the investees are not taxed. See Note 3, "INVESTMENTS IN EQUITY
INVESTEES," for additional information.

Use of Estimates in the Preparation of the Financial Statements

Preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts presented and disclosed in our Consolidated Financial
Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgement and are used for, but not limited to, 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 rate and other assumptions for pensions and other postretirement benefit costs, restructuring costs, income taxes, deferred tax valuation allowances,
contingencies and allowances for doubtful accounts. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different
from these estimates.

Current supply chain disruptions and related future financial impacts cannot be estimated at this time. This uncertainty could have an impact on certain estimates used in the
preparation of our 2021 financial results.

Revenue From Contracts with Customers

Revenue Recognition Sales of Products

We sell to customers either through long-term arrangements or standalone purchase orders. Our long-term arrangements generally do not include committed volumes until
underlying purchase orders are issued. Our performance obligations vary by contract, but may include diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products,
including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, electric power generation systems and
construction related projects, batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen production and fuel cell products, parts, maintenance services and extended warranty coverage.

Typically, we recognize revenue on the products we sell at a point in time, generally in accordance with shipping terms, which reflects the transfer of control to the customer.
Since control of construction projects transfer to the customer as the work is performed, revenue on these projects is recognized based on the percentage of inputs incurred to
date compared to the total expected cost of inputs, which is reflective of the value transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized under long-term maintenance and other
service agreements over the term of the agreement as underlying services are performed based on the percentage of the cost of services provided to date compared to the total
expected cost of services to be provided under the contract. Sales of extended coverage are recognized based on the pattern of expected costs over the extended coverage period
or, if such a pattern is unknown, on a straight-line basis over the coverage period as the customer is considered to benefit from our stand ready obligation over the coverage
period. In all cases, we believe cost incurred is the most representative depiction of the extent of service performed to date on a particular contract.

Our arrangements may include the act of shipping products to our customers after the performance obligation related to that product has been satisfied. We have elected to
account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill the promise to transfer goods and have not allocated revenue to the shipping activity. All related shipping and handling
costs are accrued at the time the related performance obligation is satisfied.

Our sales arrangements may include the collection of sales and other similar taxes that are then remitted to the related taxing authority. We have elected to present the amounts
collected for these taxes net of the related tax expense rather than presenting them as additional revenue.

We grant credit limits and terms to customers based upon traditional practices and competitive conditions. Typical terms vary by market, but payments are generally due in 90
days or less from invoicing for most of our product and service sales, while payments on construction and other similar arrangements may be due on an installment basis.

For contracts where the time between cash collection and performance is less than one year, we have elected to use the practical expedient that allows us to ignore the possible
existence of a significant financing component within the contract. For contracts where this time period exceeds one year, generally the timing difference is the result of business
concerns other than financing. We do have a limited amount of customer financing for which we charge or impute interest, but such amounts are immaterial to our Consolidated
Statements of Net Income.

Sales Incentives

We provide various sales incentives to both our distribution network and OEM customers. These programs are designed to promote the sale of our products in the channel or
encourage the usage of our products by OEM customers. When there is uncertainty surrounding these sales incentives, we may limit the amount of revenue we recognize under
a contract until the uncertainty has been resolved. Sales incentives primarily fall into three categories:

•

Volume rebates;

• Market share rebates; and

66

Table of Contents

•

Aftermarket rebates.

For volume rebates, we provide certain customers with rebate opportunities for attaining specified volumes during a particular quarter or year. We consider the expected amount
of these rebates at the time of the original sale as we determine the overall transaction price. We update our assessment of the amount of rebates that will be earned quarterly
based on our best estimate of the volume levels the customer will reach during the measurement period. For market share rebates, we provide certain customers with rebate
opportunities based on the percentage of their production that utilizes our product. These rebates are typically measured either quarterly or annually and we assess them at least
quarterly to determine our current estimates of amounts expected to be earned. These estimates are considered in the determination of transaction price at the time of the original
sale based on the current market shares, with adjustments made as the level changes. For aftermarket rebates, we provide incentives to promote sales to certain dealers and end-
markets. These rebates are typically paid on a quarterly, or more frequent basis. At the time of the sales, we consider the expected amount of these rebates when determining the
overall transaction price. Estimates are adjusted at the end of each quarter based on the amounts yet to be paid. These estimates are based on historical experience with the
particular program.

Sales Returns

The initial determination of the transaction price may also be impacted by expected product returns. Rights of return do not exist for the majority of our sales other than for
quality issues. We do offer certain return rights in our aftermarket business, where some aftermarket customers are permitted to return small amounts of parts and filters each
year, and in our power generation business, which sells portable generators to retail customers. An estimate of future returns is accounted for at the time of sale as a reduction in
the overall contract transaction price based on historical return rates.

Multiple Performance Obligations

Our sales arrangements may include multiple performance obligations. We identify each of the material performance obligations in these arrangements and allocate the total
transaction price to each performance obligation based on its relative selling price. In most cases, the individual performance obligations are also sold separately and we use that
price as the basis for allocating revenue to the included performance obligations. When an arrangement includes multiple performance obligations and invoicing to the customer
does not match the allocated portion of the transaction price, unbilled revenue or deferred revenue is recorded reflecting that difference. Unbilled and deferred revenue are
discussed in more detail below.

Long-term Contracts

Our long-term maintenance agreements often include a variable component of the transaction price. We are generally compensated under such arrangements on a cost per hour
of usage basis. We typically can estimate the expected usage over the life of the contract, but reassess the transaction price each quarter and adjust our recognized revenue
accordingly. Certain maintenance agreements apply to generators used to provide standby power, which have limited expectations of usage. These agreements may include
monthly minimum payments, providing some certainty to the total transaction price. For these particular contracts that relate to standby power, we limit revenue recognized to
date to an amount representing the total minimums earned to date under the contract plus any cumulative billings earned in excess of the minimums. We reassess the estimates
of progress and transaction price on a quarterly basis. For prime power arrangements, revenue is not subject to such a constraint and is generally equal to the current estimate on
a percentage of completion basis times the total expected revenue under the contract.

Deferred Revenue

The timing of our billing does not always match the timing of our revenue recognition. We record deferred revenue when we are entitled to bill a customer in advance of when
we are permitted to recognize revenue. Deferred revenue may arise in construction and other power generation system contracts, where billings may occur in advance of
performance or in accordance with specific milestones. Deferred revenue may also occur in long-term maintenance contracts, where billings are often based on usage of the
underlying equipment, which generally follows a predictable pattern that often will result in the accumulation of collections in advance of our performance of the related
maintenance services. Finally, deferred revenue exists in our extended coverage contracts, where the cash is collected prior to the commencement of the coverage period.
Deferred revenue is included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of current liabilities for the amount expected to be recognized in revenue in a period of less
than one year and long-term liabilities for the amount expected to be recognized as revenue in a period beyond one year. Deferred revenue is recognized as revenue when control
of the underlying product, project or service passes to the customer under the related contract.

Unbilled Revenue

We recognize unbilled revenue when the revenue has been earned, but not yet billed. Unbilled revenue is included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as a component of
current assets for those expected to be collected in a period of less than one year and long-term assets for those expected to be collected in a period beyond one year. Unbilled
revenue relates to our right to consideration for our completed performance under a contract. Unbilled revenue generally arises from contractual provisions that delay a portion
of the

67

Table of Contents

billings on genset deliveries until commissioning occurs. Unbilled revenue may also occur when billings trail the provision of service in construction and long-term maintenance
contracts. Our unbilled revenue is assessed for collection risks at the time the amounts are initially recorded. This estimate of expected losses reflects those losses expected to
occur over the contractual life of the unbilled amount through the time of collection. We did not record any impairment losses on our unbilled revenues during the years ended
December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Contract Costs

We are required to record an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer and other costs to fulfill a contract not otherwise required to be immediately
expensed when we expect to recover those costs. The only material incremental cost we incur is commission expense, which is generally incurred in the same period as the
underlying revenue. Costs to fulfill a contract are generally limited to customer-specific engineering expenses that do not meet the definition of research and development
expenses. As a practical expedient, we have elected to recognize these costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when the related contract period is less than one year. When
the period exceeds one year, this asset is amortized over the life of the contract. We did not have any material capitalized balances at December 31, 2021 or 2020.

Extended Warranty

We sell extended warranty coverage on most of our engines and on certain components. We consider a warranty to be extended coverage in any of the following situations:

• When a warranty is sold separately or is optional (extended coverage contracts, for example) or

• When a warranty provides additional services.

The consideration collected is initially deferred and is recognized as revenue in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in performing services over the contract period.
We compare the remaining deferred revenue balance quarterly to the estimated amount of future claims under extended warranty programs and provide an additional accrual
when the deferred revenue balance is less than expected future costs.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

We translate assets and liabilities of foreign entities to U.S. dollars, where the local currency is the functional currency, at month-end exchange rates. We translate income and
expenses to U.S. dollars using weighted-average exchange rates. We record adjustments resulting from translation in a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive
loss (AOCL) and include the adjustments in net income only upon sale, loss of controlling financial interest or liquidation of the underlying foreign investment.

Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in current net income. For foreign entities where the U.S. dollar is the functional currency, including those operating
in highly inflationary economies when applicable, we remeasure non-monetary balances and the related income statement amounts using historical exchange rates. We include
the resulting gains and losses in income, including the effect of derivatives in our Consolidated Statements of Net Income, which combined with transaction gains and losses
amounted to a net gain of $2 million, $4 million and $28 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements

A three-level valuation hierarchy, based upon the observable and unobservable inputs, is used for fair value measurements. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from
independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect market assumptions based on the best evidence available. These two types of inputs create the following fair value
hierarchy:

•

•

•

Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active and model-derived
valuations whose significant inputs are observable; and

Level 3 - Instruments whose significant inputs are unobservable.

Derivative Instruments

We make use of derivative instruments in foreign exchange, commodity price and interest rate hedging programs. Derivatives currently in use are foreign currency forward
contracts, commodity swap and interest rate swaps and locks. These contracts are used strictly for hedging and not for speculative purposes.

68

Table of Contents

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 and locks. The
objective is to more effectively balance our borrowing costs and interest rate risk for current and future exposure. The gain or loss on the swaps as well as the offsetting gain or
loss on the hedged item are recognized in current income as "Interest expense." The gain or loss on the locks is deferred and reported as a component of AOCL. For more detail
on our interest rate swaps, see Note 12, "DEBT."

Due to our international business presence, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. We transact in foreign currencies and have assets, liabilities and investments in
subsidiaries denominated in foreign currencies. Consequently, our income experiences some volatility related to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. In order to
benefit from global diversification and after considering naturally offsetting currency positions, we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to minimize our existing
exposures (recognized assets and liabilities) and hedge forecasted transactions. Foreign currency forward contracts are designated and qualify as foreign currency cash flow
hedges. The unrealized gain or loss on the forward contract is deferred and reported as a component of AOCL. When the hedged forecasted transaction (sale or purchase)
occurs, the unrealized gain or loss is reclassified into income in the same line item associated with the hedged transaction in the same period or periods during which the hedged
transaction affects income. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, realized and unrealized gains and losses related to these hedges were not material to our financial statements.

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

We are exposed to fluctuations in commodity prices due to contractual agreements with component suppliers. In order to protect ourselves against future price volatility and,
consequently, fluctuations in gross margins, we periodically enter into commodity swap and forward contracts with designated banks and other counterparties to fix the cost of
certain raw material purchases with the objective of minimizing changes in inventory cost due to market price fluctuations. These commodity swaps are designated and qualify
as cash flow hedges. At December 31, 2021, realized and unrealized gains and losses related to these hedges were not material to our financial statements. We also enter into
physical forward contracts, which qualify for the normal purchases scope exceptions and are treated as purchase commitments. Additional information on the physical forwards
is included in Note 14, "COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES."

We record all derivatives at fair value in our financial statements. Cash flows related to derivatives that are designated as hedges are included in the cash flows from operating
activities, while cash flows related to derivatives, that are not designated as hedges, are included in cash flows from investing activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash
Flows.

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. When material, we adjust the value of our derivative contracts for counter-party or our credit risk. None of
our derivative instruments are subject to collateral requirements.

Income Tax Accounting

We determine our income tax expense using the asset and liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax effects of
temporary differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Future tax benefits of net operating loss
and credit carryforwards are also recognized as deferred tax assets. We evaluate the recoverability of our deferred tax assets each quarter by assessing the likelihood of future
profitability and available tax planning strategies that could be implemented to realize our net deferred tax assets. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the tax assets to
the net value management believes is more likely than not to be realized. In the event our operating performance deteriorates, future assessments could conclude that a larger
valuation allowance will be needed to further reduce the deferred tax assets. In addition, we operate within multiple taxing jurisdictions and are subject to tax audits in these
jurisdictions. These audits can involve complex issues, which may require an extended period of time to resolve. We accrue for the estimated additional tax and interest that may
result from tax authorities disputing uncertain tax positions. We believe we made adequate provisions for income taxes for all years that are subject to audit based upon the latest
information available. A more complete description of our income taxes and the future benefits of our net operating loss and credit carryforwards is disclosed in Note 4,
"INCOME TAXES."

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash equivalents are defined as short-term, highly liquid investments with an original maturity of 90 days or less at the time of purchase. The carrying amounts reflected in our
Consolidated Balance Sheets for cash and cash equivalents approximate fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.

Debt securities are classified as "held-to-maturity," "available-for-sale" or "trading." We determine the appropriate classification of debt securities at the time of purchase and re-
evaluate such classifications at each balance sheet date. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, all of our debt securities were classified as available-for-sale. Debt and equity
securities are carried at fair value with the unrealized gain or loss, net of tax, reported in other comprehensive income and other income, respectively. For debt securities,
unrealized losses considered to be "other-than-temporary" are recognized currently in other income. The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
The fair value of most investment securities is determined by currently available market prices. Where quoted market prices are not available, we use the market price of similar
types of securities that are traded in the market to estimate fair value. See Note 5, "MARKETABLE SECURITIES," for a detailed description of our investments in marketable
securities.

Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

Trade accounts receivable represent amounts billed to customers and not yet collected or amounts that were earned, but may not be billed until the passage of time, and are
recorded when the right to consideration becomes unconditional. Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount, which approximates net realizable value, and
generally do not bear interest. The allowance for doubtful accounts is our best estimate of the amount of expected credit losses in our existing accounts receivable. We
determine the allowance based on our historical collection experience and by performing an analysis of our accounts receivable in light of the current economic environment.
This estimate of expected losses reflects those losses expected to occur over the contractual life of the receivable. We review our allowance for doubtful accounts on a regular
basis. In addition, when necessary, we provide an allowance for the full amount of specific accounts deemed to be uncollectible. Account balances are charged off against the
allowance in the period in which we determine that it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The allowance for doubtful accounts balances were $33 million and $39
million at December 31, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and bad debt write-offs were not material.

Inventories

Our inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 15 percent and 14 percent, respectively,
of our consolidated inventories (primarily heavy-duty and high-horsepower engines and parts) were valued using the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method. The cost of other
inventories is generally valued using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost method. Our inventories at interim and year-end reporting dates include estimates for adjustments related
to annual physical inventory results and for inventory cost changes under the LIFO cost method. Due to significant movements of partially-manufactured components and parts
between manufacturing plants, we do not internally measure, nor do our accounting systems provide, a meaningful segregation between raw materials and work-in-process. See
Note 6, "INVENTORIES," for additional information.

Property, Plant and Equipment

We record property, plant and equipment at cost, inclusive of assets under finance lease assets. We depreciate the cost of the majority of our property, plant and equipment using
the straight-line method with depreciable lives ranging from 20 to 40 years for buildings and 3 to 15 years for machinery, equipment and fixtures. Finance lease asset
amortization is recorded in depreciation expense. We expense normal maintenance and repair costs as incurred. Depreciation expense totaled $514 million, $504 million and
$494 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. See Note 7, "PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT" and Note 8, "LEASES," for
additional information.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review our long-lived assets for possible impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset or asset group may not be recoverable.
We assess the recoverability of the carrying value of the long-lived assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other
assets and liabilities. An impairment of a long-lived asset or asset group exists when the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges)
estimated to be generated by the asset or asset group is less than its carrying value. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset or asset group, an
impairment loss is measured based on the difference between the estimated fair value and carrying value of the asset or asset group. Assumptions and estimates used to estimate
cash flows in the evaluation of impairment and the fair values used to determine the impairment are subject to a degree of judgment and complexity. Any changes to the
assumptions and estimates resulting

70

 
Table of Contents

from changes in actual results or market conditions from those anticipated may affect the carrying value of long-lived assets and could result in a future impairment charge.

Leases

We determine if an arrangement contains a lease in whole or in part at the inception of the contract. Right-of-use (ROU) assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for
the lease term while lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. All leases greater than 12 months result in the recognition of a ROU
asset and a liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. As most of our leases do not provide the information
required to determine the implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the present value of
lease payments. This rate is determined considering factors such as the lease term, our credit standing and the economic environment of the location of the lease. We use the
implicit rate when readily determinable.

Our lease terms include all non-cancelable periods and may include options to extend (or to not terminate) the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that
option. Leases that have a term of 12 months or less at the commencement date are expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease term and do not result in the recognition of
an asset or a liability.

Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease expense for finance leases are generally front-loaded as the finance lease
ROU asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis, but interest expense on the liability is recognized utilizing the interest method that results in more expense during the early
years of the lease. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, primarily related to real estate, vehicle and information technology (IT) assets. For vehicle
and real estate leases, we account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. For IT leases, we allocate the payment between the lease and non-lease
components based on the relative value of each component. See Note 8, "LEASES," for additional information.

Goodwill

We have the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value as a basis
for determining whether it is necessary to perform an annual quantitative goodwill impairment test. We elected this option on certain reporting units. The quantitative
impairment test is only required if an entity determines through this qualitative analysis that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its
carrying value. In addition, the carrying value of goodwill must be tested for impairment on an interim basis in certain circumstances where impairment may be indicated. We
perform our annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An impairment charge is recognized for the
amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value.

When we are required or opt to perform the quantitative impairment test, the fair value of each reporting unit is estimated with either the market approach or the income
approach using a discounted cash flow model. Our income approach method uses a discounted cash flow model in which cash flows anticipated over several periods, plus a
terminal value at the end of that time horizon, are discounted to their present value using an appropriate rate of return. Our reporting units are generally defined as one level
below an operating segment. However, there are three situations where we have aggregated two or more reporting units which share similar economic characteristics and thus
are aggregated into a single reporting unit for testing purposes. These three situations are described further below:

• Within our Components segment, our emission solutions and filtration businesses were aggregated into a single reporting unit,

• Within our New Power segment, our electrified power, fuel cell and hydrogen technologies businesses were aggregated into a single reporting unit and

•

Our Distribution segment is considered a single reporting unit as it is managed geographically and all regions share similar economic characteristics and provide similar
products and services.

The discounted cash flow model requires us to make projections of revenue, gross margin, operating expenses, working capital investment and fixed asset additions for the
reporting units over a multi-year period. Additionally, management must estimate a weighted-average cost of capital, which reflects a market rate, for each reporting unit for use
as a discount rate. The discounted cash flows are compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit and, if less than the carrying value, the difference is recorded as a goodwill
impairment loss. In addition, we also perform a sensitivity analysis to determine how much our forecasts can fluctuate before the fair value of a reporting unit would be lower
than its carrying amount. We perform the required procedures as of the end of our fiscal third quarter.

71

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2021, our recorded goodwill was $1,287 million, of which approximately 42 percent or $544 million resided in the automated transmissions reporting unit, 30
percent in the aggregated emission solutions and filtration reporting unit, 20 percent in the new power reporting unit and 6 percent in the distribution reporting unit. Changes in
our projections or estimates, a deterioration of our operating results and the related cash flow effect or a significant increase in the discount rate could decrease the estimated fair
value of our reporting units and result in a future impairment of goodwill. See Note 9, "GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS," for additional information.

Other Intangible Assets

We capitalize other intangible assets, such as trademarks, patents and customer relationships, that were acquired either individually or with a group of other assets. These
intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives generally ranging from 3 to 25 years. Intangible assets are reviewed for impairment when
events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives of the assets. See Note 9, "GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE
ASSETS," for additional information.

Software

We capitalize software that is developed or obtained for internal use. Software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives generally ranging
from 2 to 12 years. Software assets are reviewed for impairment when events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable over the remaining lives
of the assets. Upgrades and enhancements are capitalized if they result in significant modifications that enable the software to perform tasks it was previously incapable of
performing. Software maintenance, training, data conversion and business process reengineering costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. See Note 9,
"GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS," for additional information.

Warranty

We estimate and record a liability for base warranty programs at the time our products are sold. Our estimates are based on historical experience and reflect management's best
estimates of expected costs at the time products are sold and subsequent adjustment to those expected costs when actual costs differ. Factors considered in developing these
estimates included component failure rates, repair costs and the point of failure within the product life cycle. As a result of the uncertainty surrounding the nature and frequency
of product campaigns, the liability for such campaigns is recorded when we commit to a recall action or when a recall becomes probable and estimable, which generally occurs
when it is announced. The liability for these campaigns is reflected in the provision for warranties issued. We review and assess the liability for these programs on a quarterly
basis. We also assess our ability to recover certain costs from our suppliers and record a receivable when we believe a recovery is probable. In addition to costs incurred on
warranty and product campaigns, from time to time we also incur costs related to customer satisfaction programs for items not covered by warranty. We accrue for these costs
when agreement is reached with a specific customer. These costs are not included in the provision for warranties, but are included in cost of sales. In addition, we sell extended
warranty coverage on most of our engines. See Extended Warranty policy discussion above and Note 13, "PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," for additional information.

Research and Development

Our research and development programs are focused on product improvements, product extensions, innovations and cost reductions for our customers. Research and
development expenditures include salaries, contractor fees, building costs, utilities, testing, technical information technology expenses, administrative expenses and allocation of
corporate costs and are expensed, net of contract reimbursements, when incurred. From time to time, we enter into agreements with customers and government agencies to fund
a portion of the research and development costs of a particular project. When not associated with a sales contract, we generally account for these reimbursements as an offset to
the related research and development expenditure. Research and development expenses, net of contract reimbursements, were $1.1 billion, $903 million and $998 million for
the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Contract reimbursements were $104 million, $86 million and $90 million for the years ended December 31,
2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Related Party Transactions

In accordance with the provisions of various joint venture agreements, we may purchase products and components from our joint ventures, sell products and components to our
joint ventures and our joint ventures may sell products and components to unrelated parties. Joint venture transfer prices may differ from normal selling prices. Certain joint
venture agreements transfer product at cost, some transfer product on a cost-plus basis, and others transfer product at market value. Our related party sales are presented on the
face of our Consolidated Statements of Net Income. Our related party purchases were not material to our financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 2. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS

Long-term Contracts

The majority of our contracts are for a period of less than one year. We have certain long-term maintenance agreements, construction contracts and extended warranty coverage
arrangements that span a period in excess of one year. The aggregate amount of the transaction price for long-term maintenance agreements and construction contracts allocated
to performance obligations that were not satisfied as of December 31, 2021, was $740 million. We expect to recognize the related revenue of $114 million over the next 12
months and $626 million over periods up to 10 years. See Note 13,"PRODUCT WARRANTY LIABILITY," for additional disclosures on extended warranty coverage
arrangements. Our other contracts generally are for a duration of less than one year, include payment terms that correspond to the timing of costs incurred when providing goods
and services to our customers or represent sales-based royalties.

Manufacturing Entities

Our manufacturing joint ventures were generally formed with customers and are primarily intended to allow us to increase our market penetration in geographic regions, reduce
capital spending, streamline our supply chain management and develop technologies. Our largest manufacturing joint ventures are based in China and are included in the list
below. Our engine manufacturing joint ventures are supplied by our Components segment in the same manner as it supplies our wholly-owned Engine segment and Power
Systems segment manufacturing facilities. Our Components segment joint ventures and wholly-owned entities provide electronics, fuel systems, filtration, aftertreatment
systems, turbocharger products and automated transmissions that are used with our engines as well as some competitors' products. The results and investments in our joint
ventures in which we have 50 percent or less ownership interest (except for Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies joint venture, which is consolidated due to
our majority voting interest) are included in “Equity, royalty and interest income from investees” and “Investments and advances related to equity method investees” in our
Consolidated Statements of Net Income and Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

the joint venture will now be included in our consolidated results.

Distribution Entities

We have an extensive worldwide distributor and dealer network through which we sell and distribute our products and services. Generally, our distributors are divided by
geographic region with some of our distributors being wholly-owned by Cummins, some partially-owned and some independently owned. We consolidate all wholly-owned
distributors and partially-owned distributors where we are the primary beneficiary and account for other partially-owned distributors using the equity method of accounting.

Komatsu Cummins Chile, Ltda. - Komatsu Cummins Chile, Ltda. is a joint venture with Komatsu America Corporation. The joint venture is a distributor that offers the full
range of our products and services to customers and end-users in Chile and Peru.

In certain cases where we own a partial interest in a distributor, we may be obligated to purchase the other equity holders' interests if certain events occur (such as the death or
resignation of the distributor principal or a change in control of Cummins Inc.). The purchase consideration of the equity interests may be determined based on the fair value of
the distributor's assets. Repurchase obligations and practices vary by geographic region.

All distributors that are partially-owned are considered to be related parties in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Our effective tax rate for 2021 was 21.3 percent compared to 22.5 percent for 2020 and 20.0 percent for 2019. The year ended December 31, 2021, contained unfavorable net
discrete tax items of $9 million, primarily due to $12 million of unfavorable provision to return adjustments related to the 2020 filed tax returns, partially offset by $3 million of
favorable other discrete tax items.

The year ended December 31, 2020, contained $26 million of unfavorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to $33 million of unfavorable changes in tax reserves and
$10 million of withholding tax adjustments, partially offset by $15 million of favorable changes due to the India Tax Law Change. The India Tax Law Change eliminated the
dividend distribution tax and replaced it with a lower rate withholding tax as the burden shifted from the dividend payor to the dividend recipient for a net favorable income
statement impact of $35 million.

The India Tax Law Change resulted in the following adjustments to the Consolidated Statements of Net Income for the year ended December 31, 2020:

In millions
Equity, royalty and interest income from investees

The year ended December 31, 2019, contained $34 million of favorable net discrete tax items, primarily due to withholding taxes and provision to return adjustments.

At December 31, 2021, $4.1 billion of non-U.S. earnings are considered indefinitely reinvested in operations outside the U.S. for which deferred taxes were not provided.
Determination of the related deferred tax liability, if any, is not practicable because of the complexities associated with the hypothetical calculation.

Our 2021 U.S. carryforward benefits include $218 million of state credit and net operating loss carryforward benefits that begin to expire in 2022. Our foreign carryforward
benefits include $177 million of net operating loss carryforwards that begin to expire in 2022. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the gross deferred tax assets to an
amount we believe is more likely than not to be realized. The valuation allowance is $360 million and increased in 2021 by a net $14 million. The valuation allowance is
primarily attributable to the uncertainty regarding the realization of a portion of the U.S. state and foreign net operating loss and tax credit carryforward benefits.

Included in the December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, balances are $85 million, $114 million and $69 million, respectively, related to tax positions that, if recognized, would
favorably impact the effective tax rate in future periods. We also accrued interest expense related to the unrecognized tax benefits of $15 million, $17 million and $5 million as
of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We recognize potential accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense.

Audit outcomes and the timing of audit settlements are subject to significant uncertainty. Although we believe that adequate provision has been made for such issues, there is the
possibility that the ultimate resolution of such issues could have an adverse effect on our earnings. Conversely, if these issues are resolved favorably in the future, the related
provision would be reduced, thus having a positive impact on earnings.

As a result of our global operations, we file income tax returns in various jurisdictions including U.S. federal, state and foreign jurisdictions. We are routinely subject to
examination by taxing authorities throughout the world, including Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, India, Mexico, the U.K. and the U.S. With few exceptions,
our U.S. federal, major state and foreign jurisdictions are no longer subject to income tax assessments for years before 2017.

 Unrealized gains and losses for debt securities are recorded in other comprehensive income while unrealized gains and losses for equity securities are recorded in "Other income, net" in our
Consolidated Statements of Net Income .

All debt securities are classified as available-for-sale. All marketable securities presented use a Level 2 fair value measure. The fair value of Level 2 securities is estimated using
actively quoted prices for similar instruments from brokers and observable inputs where available, including market transactions and third-party pricing services, or net asset
values provided to investors. We do not currently have any Level 3 securities, and there were no transfers between Level 2 or 3 during 2021 or 2020.

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

•

•

•

•

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

Debt mutual funds— The fair value measures for the vast majority of these investments are the daily net asset values published on a regulated governmental
website. Daily quoted prices are available from the issuing brokerage and are used on a test basis to corroborate this Level 2 input measure.

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

Debt securities— The fair value measures for these securities are broker quotes received from reputable firms. These securities are infrequently traded on a national
exchange and these values are used on a test basis to corroborate our Level 2 input measure.

The proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities were as follows:

NOTE 8. LEASES

Our lease portfolio consists primarily of real estate and equipment leases. Our real estate leases primarily consist of land, office, distribution, warehousing and manufacturing
facilities. These leases typically range in term from 2 to 50 years and may contain renewal options for periods up to 10 years at our discretion. Our equipment lease portfolio
consists primarily of vehicles (including service vehicles), fork trucks and IT equipment. These leases typically range in term from two to three years and may contain renewal
options. Our leases generally do not contain variable lease payments other than (1) certain foreign real estate leases which have payments indexed to inflation and (2) certain
real estate executory costs (such as taxes, insurance and maintenance), which are paid based on actual expenses incurred by the lessor during the year. Our leases generally do
not include residual value guarantees other than our service vehicle fleet, which has a residual guarantee based on a percentage of the original cost declining over the lease term.

The components of our lease cost were as follows:

In millions
Operating lease cost
Finance lease cost

Amortization of right-of-use asset

NOTE 10. PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

Pension Plans

We sponsor several pension plans covering substantially all employees. Generally, pension benefits for salaried employees are determined as a function of employee’s
compensation. Pension benefits for most hourly employees are determined similarly and as a function of employee’s compensation, with the exception of a small group of
hourly employees whose pension benefits were grandfathered in accordance with agreements with their union representation and are based on their years of service and
compensation during active employment. The level of benefits and terms of vesting may vary among plans and are offered in accordance with applicable laws. Pension plans
assets are administered by trustees and are principally invested in fixed income securities and equity securities. It is our policy to make contributions to our various qualified
plans in accordance with statutory and contractual funding requirements, and any additional contributions we determine are appropriate.

Obligations, Assets and Funded Status

Benefit obligation balances presented below reflect the projected benefit obligation (PBO) for our pension plans. The changes in the benefit obligations, the various plan assets,

In addition to the pension plans in the above table, we also maintain less significant defined benefit pension plans in 14 other countries outside of the U.S. and the U.K. that
comprise approximately 4 percent and 5 percent of our pension plan assets and obligations, respectively, at December 31, 2021. These plans are reflected in "Other liabilities"
on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. In 2021 and 2020, we made $13 million and $16 million of contributions to these plans, respectively.

Our investment policies in the U.S. and U.K. provide for the rebalancing of assets to maintain our long-term strategic asset allocation. We are committed to this long-term
strategy and do not attempt to time the market. Given empirical evidence that asset allocation is critical, rebalancing of the assets has and continues to occur, maintaining the
proper weighting of assets to achieve the expected total portfolio returns. We believe that our portfolio is highly diversified and does not have any significant exposure to
concentration risk. The plan assets for our defined benefit pension plans do not include any of our common stock.

U.S. Plan Assets

For the U.S. qualified pension plans, our assumption for the expected return on assets was 6.25 percent in 2021. Projected returns are based primarily on broad, publicly traded
equity and fixed income indices and forward-looking estimates of active portfolio and investment management. We expect additional positive returns from this active
investment management. Based on the historical returns and forward-looking return expectations, we elected to maintain our assumption of 6.25 percent in 2022.

The primary investment objective is to exceed, on a net-of-fee basis, the rate of return of a policy portfolio comprised of the following:

Asset Class
U.S. equities
Non-U.S. equities
Global equities

Total equities

Real assets
Private equity/venture capital

The fixed income component is structured to represent a custom bond benchmark that will closely hedge the change in the value of our liabilities. This component is structured
in such a way that its benchmark covers approximately 100 percent of the plan's exposure to changes in its discount rate (AA corporate bond yields). In order to achieve a hedge
on more than the targeted 72 percent of plan assets invested in fixed income securities, our Benefits Policy Committee (BPC) permits the fixed income managers, other
managers or the custodian/trustee to utilize derivative securities, as part of a liability driven investment strategy to further reduce the plan's risk of declining interest rates.
However, all managers hired to manage assets for the trust are prohibited from using leverage unless approved by the BPC.

U.K. Plan Assets

For the U.K. qualified pension plans, our assumption for the expected return on assets was 4.0 percent in 2021. The methodology used to determine the rate of return on pension
plan assets in the U.K. was based on establishing an equity-risk premium over current long-term bond yields adjusted based on target asset allocations. Our strategy with respect
to our investments in these assets is to be invested in a suitable mixture of return-seeking assets such as equities, real estate and liability matching assets such as group annuity
insurance contracts and duration matched bonds. Therefore, the risk and return balance of our U.K. asset portfolio should reflect a long-term horizon. To achieve these
objectives we established the following targets:

Asset Class
Equities
Private markets/secure income assets
Credit
Diversifying strategies
Fixed income/insurance annuity
Cash

Total

Target

10.0 %
12.0 %
16.0 %
5.0 %
56.0 %
1.0 %
100.0 %

As part of our strategy in the U.K. we have not prohibited the use of any financial instrument, including derivatives. As in the U.S. plan, derivatives may be used to better match
liability duration and are not used in a speculative way. The 56 percent fixed income component is structured in a way that covers approximately 90 percent of the plan's
exposure to changes in its discount rate. Based on the above discussion, we elected an assumption of 3.75 percent in 2022.

Level 3 Assets

The investments in an insurance annuity contract, venture capital, private equity and real estate, for which quoted market prices are not available, are valued at their estimated
fair value as determined by applicable investment managers or by quarterly financial statements of the funds. These financial statements are audited at least annually. In
conjunction with our investment consultant and actuary, we monitor the fair value of the insurance contract as periodically reported by our insurer and their counterparty risk.
The fair value of all real estate properties, held in the partnerships, are valued at least once per year by an independent professional real estate valuation firm. Fair value
generally represents the fund's proportionate share of the net assets of the investment partnerships as reported by the general partners of the underlying partnerships. Some
securities with no readily available market are initially valued at cost, utilizing independent professional valuation firms as well as market comparisons with subsequent
adjustments to values which reflect either the basis of meaningful third-party transactions in the private market or the fair value deemed appropriate by the general partners of the
underlying investment partnerships. In such instances, consideration is also given to the financial condition and operating results of the issuer, the amount that the investment
partnerships can reasonably expect to realize upon the sale of the securities and any other factors deemed relevant. The estimated fair values are subject to uncertainty and
therefore may differ from the values that would have been used had a ready market for such investments existed and such differences could be material.

We also sponsor defined contribution plans for certain hourly and salaried employees. Our contributions to these plans were $92 million, $85 million and $102 million for the
years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019.

Other Postretirement Benefits

Our other postretirement benefit (OPEB) plans provide various health care and life insurance benefits to eligible employees, who retire and satisfy certain age and service
requirements, and their dependents. The plans are contributory and contain cost-sharing features such as caps, deductibles, coinsurance and spousal contributions. Employer
contributions are limited by formulas in each plan. Retiree contributions for health care benefits are adjusted annually, and we reserve the right to change benefits covered under
these plans. There were no plan assets for OPEB plans as our policy is to fund benefits and expenses for these plans as claims and premiums are incurred.

Obligations and Funded Status

Benefit obligation balances presented below reflect the accumulated postretirement benefit obligations for our OPEB plans. The changes in the benefit obligations, the funded

NOTE 12. DEBT

Loans Payable and Commercial Paper

Loans payable at December 31, 2021 and 2020 were $208 million and $169 million, respectively, and consisted primarily of notes payable to financial institutions. The
weighted-average interest rate for notes payable, bank overdrafts and current maturities of long-term debt at December 31 was as follows:

We can issue up to $3.5 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized commercial paper
programs. The programs facilitate the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third-party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper
borrowings for general corporate purposes. We had $313 million and $323 million in outstanding borrowings under our commercial paper programs at December 31, 2021 and
2020, respectively. The weighted-average interest rate for commercial paper at December 31 was as follows:

 The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was negative  0.01 percent at December 31,
2021. This included $113 million of borrowings under the Europe program that were at a negative weighted-
average interest rate of 0.39 percent and $200 million of borrowings under the U.S. program at a weighted-average
interest rate of 0.21 percent.
 The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was negative  0.01 percent at December 31,
2020. This included $123 million of borrowings under the Europe program that were at a negative weighted-
average interest rate of 0.34 percent and $200 million of borrowings under the U.S. program at a weighted-average
interest rate of 0.19 percent.

Revolving Credit Facilities

On August 18, 2021, we entered into an amended and restated 5-year revolving credit agreement, which allows us to borrow up to $2 billion of unsecured funds at any time
prior to August 18, 2026. This credit agreement replaces the prior $2 billion 5-year credit agreement that would have matured on August 22, 2023. Amounts payable under our
revolving credit facility will rank pro rata with all of our unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness. Up to $300 million under this credit facility is available for swingline loans.
Based on our current long-term debt ratings, the applicable margin on LIBOR rate loans was 0.75 percent per annum as of December 31, 2021. Advances under the facility may
be prepaid without premium or penalty, subject to customary breakage costs.

On August 18, 2021, we also entered into an amended and restated 364-day credit agreement, which allows us to borrow up to $1.5 billion of unsecured funds at any time prior
to August 17, 2022. This credit agreement amended and restated the prior $1.5 billion 364-day credit facility that matured on August 18, 2021.

Both credit agreements include various covenants, including, among others, maintaining a net debt to total capital ratio of no more than 0.65 to 1.0. At December 31, 2021, we
were in compliance with the financial debt covenants. We intend to maintain credit facilities at the current or higher aggregate amounts by renewing or replacing these facilities
at or before expiration. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate
purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at December 31, 2021.

At December 31, 2021, our $313 million of commercial paper outstanding effectively reduced the $3.5 billion available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.2
billion.

At December 31, 2021, we also had $234 million available for borrowings under our international and other domestic credit facilities.

On August 24, 2020, we issued $2 billion aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes consisting of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75 percent senior
unsecured notes due in 2025, $850 million aggregate principal amount of 1.50 percent senior unsecured notes due in 2030 and $650 million aggregate principal amount of 2.60
percent senior unsecured notes due in 2050. We received net proceeds of $1.98 billion. The senior unsecured notes pay interest semi-annually on March 1 and September 1,
commencing on March 1, 2021. The indenture governing the senior unsecured notes contains covenants that, among other matters, limit (i) our ability to consolidate or merge
into, or sell, assign, convey, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our and our subsidiaries' assets to another person, (ii) our and certain of our
subsidiaries' ability to create or assume liens and (iii) our and certain of our subsidiaries' ability to engage in sale and leaseback transactions.

The $250 million 7.125 percent debentures and $165 million 5.65 percent debentures are unsecured and are not subject to any sinking fund requirements. We can redeem these
debentures at any time prior to maturity at the greater of par plus accrued interest or an amount designed to ensure that the debenture holders are not penalized by the early
redemption.

Our debt agreements contain several restrictive covenants. The most restrictive of these covenants applies to our revolving credit facility which will upon default, among other
things, limit our ability to incur additional debt or issue preferred stock, enter into sale-leaseback transactions, sell or create liens on our assets, make investments and merge or
consolidate with any other entity. At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of the financial debt covenants under our borrowing agreements.

Shelf Registration

As a well-known seasoned issuer, we filed an automatic shelf registration for an undetermined amount of debt and equity securities with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (SEC) on February 13, 2019. Under this shelf registration we may offer, from time to time, debt securities, common stock, preferred and preference stock,
depositary shares, warrants, stock purchase contracts and stock purchase units. Our current shelf is scheduled to expire in February 2022. We have begun the renewal process
and plan to file a new automatic shelf registration statement in the first quarter of 2022.

Interest Expense

For the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, total interest incurred was $113 million, $102 million and $112 million, respectively, and interest capitalized was $2
million, $2 million and $3 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

In the second half of 2021, we entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert our $500 million senior notes, due in 2025, from a fixed rate of 0.75 percent to a
floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. We also entered into a series of interest rate swaps to effectively convert $765 million of our $850 million senior
notes, due in 2030, from a fixed rate of 1.50 percent to a floating rate equal to the three-month LIBOR plus a spread. The swaps were designated, and will be accounted for, as
fair value hedges. 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 net swap settlements that accrue each period are also reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements as "Interest expense."

We had 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. The debt is included in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as "Long-term debt." The terms of the swaps mirrored those of the debt, with
interest paid semi-annually. The swaps were designated, and were accounted for, as fair value hedges. 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, were recognized in current income as "Interest expense." The net swap settlements that accrued each period were
also reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements as "Interest expense." A basis adjustment related to credit risk, excluded from the assessment of effectiveness, was being
amortized over the life of the hedge using a straight-line method and was considered de minimis.

In June and July of 2020, we settled our February 2014 interest rate swaps, which previously converted our $500 million debt issue, due in 2023, from fixed rate to floating rate
based on a LIBOR spread. The $24 million gain realized upon settlement is being amortized over the remaining three-year term of the related debt.

The following table summarizes the gains and losses:

 The difference between the gain (loss) on swaps and borrowings represented hedge ineffectiveness.

In 2019 we entered into $350 million of interest rate lock agreements, and in the first half of 2020 we entered into an additional $150 million of lock agreements to reduce the
variability of the cash flows of the interest payments on a total of $500 million of fixed rate debt forecast to be issued in 2023 to replace our senior notes at maturity. The terms
of the rate locks mirror the time period of the expected fixed rate debt issuance and the expected timing of interest payments on that debt. The gains and losses on these
derivative instruments will be initially recorded in other comprehensive income and will be released to earnings in "Interest expense" in future periods to reflect the difference in
(1) the fixed rates economically locked in at the inception of the hedge and (2) the actual fixed rates established in the debt instrument at issuance.

During 2017, the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) selected certain of our pre-2013 model year engine systems
for additional emissions testing. Some of these engine systems failed CARB and EPA tests as a result of degradation of an aftertreatment component. In the second quarter of
2018, we reached agreement with the CARB and EPA regarding our plans to address the affected populations. From the fourth quarter of 2017 through the second quarter of
2018, we recorded charges for the expected costs of field campaigns to repair these engine systems.

The campaigns launched in the third quarter of 2018 are being completed in phases across the affected population. The total engine system campaign charge, excluding supplier
recoveries, was $410 million. In the fourth quarter of 2020, we recorded an additional $20 million charge related to this campaign, as a change in estimate, to bring the total
campaign, excluding supplier recoveries, to $430 million. At December 31, 2021, the remaining accrual balance was $82 million.

NOTE 14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

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; product recalls; 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.

On April 29, 2019, we announced that we were conducting a formal internal review of our emissions certification process and compliance with emission standards for our pick-
up truck applications, following conversations with the EPA and CARB regarding certification of our engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks. This review is
being conducted with external advisors as we strive to ensure the certification and compliance processes for all of our pick-up truck applications are consistent with our internal
policies, engineering standards and applicable laws. During conversations with the EPA and CARB about the effectiveness of our pick-up truck applications, the regulators
raised concerns that certain aspects of our emissions systems may reduce the effectiveness of

99

 
 
 
 
 
 
Table of Contents

our emissions control systems and thereby act as defeat devices. As a result, our internal review focuses, in part, on the regulators’ concerns. We are working closely with the
regulators to enhance our emissions systems to improve the effectiveness of all of our pick-up truck applications and to fully address the regulators’ requirements. Based on
discussions with the regulators, we have developed a new calibration for the engines in model year 2019 RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks that has been included in all engines
shipped since September 2019. During our ongoing discussions, the regulators turned their attention to other model years and other engines, most notably our pick-up truck
applications for RAM 2500 and 3500 trucks for model years 2013 through 2018. Due to the continuing nature of our formal review, our ongoing cooperation with our
regulators and the presence of many unknown facts and circumstances, we cannot predict the final outcome of this review and these regulatory processes, nor whether, or the
extent to which, they could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations and cash flows.

Guarantees and Commitments

Periodically, we enter into guarantee arrangements, including guarantees of non-U.S. distributor financings, residual value guarantees on equipment under operating leases and
other miscellaneous guarantees of joint ventures or third-party obligations. At December 31, 2021, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $39 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At December 31, 2021, if we were to stop
purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $73 million. These arrangements enable us to secure supplies of critical
components and IT services. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum and palladium to purchase certain volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various
periods, which generally fall within two years. At December 31, 2021, the total commitments under these contracts were $101 million. These arrangements enable us to
guarantee the prices of these commodities, which otherwise are subject to market volatility.

We have guarantees with certain customers that require us to satisfactorily honor contractual or regulatory obligations, or compensate for monetary losses related to
nonperformance. These performance bonds and other performance-related guarantees were $103 million at December 31, 2021.

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 counterparty for losses suffered as a result of a misrepresentation in the contract.

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

NOTE 15. CUMMINS INC. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY

Preferred and Preference Stock

We are authorized to issue one million shares of zero par value preferred and one million shares of preference stock with preferred shares being senior to preference shares. We

Treasury Stock

Shares of common stock repurchased by us are recorded at cost as treasury stock and result in a reduction of shareholders' equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Treasury
shares may be reissued as part of our stock-based compensation programs. When shares are reissued, we use the weighted-average cost method for determining cost. The gains
between the cost of the shares and the issuance price are added to additional paid-in-capital. The losses are deducted from additional paid-in capital to the extent of the gains.
Thereafter, the losses are deducted from retained earnings. Treasury stock activity for the three-year period ended December 31, 2021, consisting of shares issued and
repurchased is presented in our Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity.

In December 2021, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2019 repurchase plan. In December 2019, the
Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2018 repurchase plan. For the year ended December 31, 2021, we

Dividends

Total dividends paid to common shareholders in 2021, 2020 and 2019 were $809 million, $782 million and $761 million, respectively. Declaration and payment of dividends in
the future depends upon our income and liquidity position, among other factors, and is subject to declaration by the Board, who meet quarterly to consider our dividend
payment. We expect to fund dividend payments with cash from operations.

NOTE 18. STOCK INCENTIVE AND STOCK OPTION PLANS

Our stock incentive plan (the Plan) allows for granting of up to 8.5 million total shares of equity awards to executives, employees and non-employee directors. Awards available
for grant under the Plan include, but are not limited to, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares and other stock awards. Shares issued under the Plan may be
newly issued shares or reissued treasury shares.

Stock options are generally granted with a strike price equal to the fair market value of the stock on the date of grant and a life of 10 years. Stock options granted have a three-
year vesting period. The strike price may be higher than the fair value of the stock on the date of the grant, but cannot be lower. Compensation expense is recorded on a straight-
line basis over the vesting period beginning on the grant date. The compensation expense is based on the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing
model. Options granted to employees eligible for retirement under our retirement plan are fully expensed at the grant date.

Stock options are also awarded through the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan (KESIP) which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common
stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. For every block of 100 KESIP shares purchased by the employee 50 stock options are granted. The options
granted through the KESIP program are considered awards under the Plan and are vested immediately. Compensation expense for stock options granted through the KESIP
program is recorded based on the fair value of each option grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

Performance shares are granted as target awards and are earned based on certain measures of our operating performance. A payout factor has been established ranging from 0 to
200 percent of the target award based on our actual performance during the three-year performance period. The fair value of the award is equal to the average market price,
adjusted for the present value of dividends over the vesting period, of our stock on the grant date. Compensation expense is recorded ratably over the period beginning on the
grant date until the shares become unrestricted and is based on the amount of the award that is expected to be earned under the plan formula, adjusted each reporting period
based on current information.

Restricted common stock is awarded from time to time at no cost to certain employees. Most awards are entitled to cash dividends and voting rights. Restrictions limit the sale
or transfer of the shares during a defined period. Generally, one-third of the shares become vested and free from restrictions after two years and one-third of the shares issued
become vested and free from restrictions each year thereafter on the anniversary of the grant date, provided the participant remains an employee. The fair value of the award is
equal to the average market price of our stock on the grant date. Compensation expense is determined at the grant date and is recognized over the restriction period on a straight-
line basis.

Employee compensation expense (net of estimated forfeitures) related to our share-based plans for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, was approximately $36
million, $30 million and $48 million, respectively. In addition, non-employee director share-based compensation expense for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and
2019, was approximately $1 million, $1 million and $1 million, respectively. Shares granted to non-employee directors vest immediately and have no restrictions or
performance conditions. The excess tax benefit associated with our employee share-based plans for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, was $9 million, $4
million and $4 million, respectively. The total unrecognized compensation expense (net of estimated forfeitures) related to nonvested awards for our employee share-based
plans was approximately $55 million at December 31, 2021 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years.

Expected life—The expected life of employee stock options represents the weighted-average period the stock options are expected to remain outstanding based upon our
historical data.

Risk-free interest rate—The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon the observed U.S. treasury security rate appropriate for the expected life of our employee stock
options.

Expected volatility—The expected volatility assumption is based upon the weighted-average historical daily price changes of our common stock over the most recent period
equal to the expected option life of the grant, adjusted for activity which is not expected to occur in the future.

Dividend yield—The dividend yield assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts.

NOTE 19. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE ATTRIBUTABLE TO CUMMINS INC.

We calculate basic earnings per share (EPS) of common stock by dividing net income attributable to Cummins Inc. by the weighted-average number of common shares
outstanding for the period. The calculation of diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive share equivalents outstanding. We excluded shares
of common stock held in the Employee Benefits Trust (EBT) from the calculation of the weighted-average common shares outstanding until those shares are distributed from
the EBT to the Retirement Savings Plan. The EBT was fully depleted at December 31, 2021. Following are the computations for basic and diluted earnings per share:

 All results from the acquired entity were included in segment results subsequent to the acquisition date, and the acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and included in the New Power
segment on the date of acquisition.
Intangible assets acquired in the business combination were mostly customer and technology related, the majority of which will be amortized over a period of up to  20 years from the date of the acquisition.

No material acquisitions occurred during the years ended December 31, 2021 or 2020.

NOTE 21. RESTRUCTURING ACTIONS

We executed restructuring actions in the form of voluntary and involuntary employee separation programs in the fourth quarter of 2019. These actions were in response to the
continued deterioration in our global markets in the second half of 2019, as well as expected reductions in orders in most U.S. and international markets in 2020. We reduced
our worldwide workforce by approximately 2,300 employees. We incurred a charge of $119 million ($90 million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2019 for these actions. The
voluntary actions were completed by December 31, 2019 and the involuntary actions were completed by June 28, 2020.

NOTE 22. 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 (CODM), or decision-making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Our CODM is the President and Chief
Operating Officer.

Our reportable operating segments consist of Engine, Distribution, Components, Power Systems and New Power. This reporting structure is organized according to the products
and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and smaller) and associated parts for sale to customers in on-highway and various off-
highway markets. Our engines are used in trucks of all sizes, buses and recreational vehicles, as well as in various industrial applications, including construction, agriculture,
power generation systems and other off-highway applications. The Distribution segment includes wholly-owned and partially-owned distributorships engaged in wholesaling
engines, generator sets and service parts, as well as performing service and repair activities on our products and maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the
world. The Components segment sells filtration products, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, electronics, fuel systems and automated transmissions. The Power Systems
segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells engines (16 liters and larger) for industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine
and rail), standby and prime power generator sets, alternators and other power components. The New Power segment designs, manufactures, sells and supports hydrogen
production solutions as well as electrified power systems ranging from fully electric to hybrid along with innovative components and subsystems, including battery and fuel cell
technologies. The New Power segment is currently in the development phase with a primary focus on research and development activities for our power systems, components
and subsystems. We continue to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification and alternative power technologies, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end
customers.

We use segment earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA) as the primary basis for the
CODM to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable operating segments. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operating performance as it assists investors
and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes or depreciation and amortization
methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. 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 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 allocate
certain common costs and expenses, primarily corporate functions, among segments differently than we would for stand-alone financial information prepared in accordance
with GAAP. These include certain costs and expenses of shared services, such as information technology, human resources, legal, finance and supply chain management. We do
not allocate gains or losses of corporate owned life insurance to individual segments. EBITDA may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.
