NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Overview
Cummins Inc. ("Cummins," "we," "our" or "us") was 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 committed to powering a more prosperous world. Since 1919, we have delivered innovative solutions that move people, goods and economies forward. Our five reportable segments - Engine, Components, Distribution, Power Systems and Accelera - offer a broad portfolio, including advanced diesel, electric and hybrid powertrains; integrated power generation systems; critical components such as aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls, transmissions, axles and brakes; and zero emissions technologies like battery and electric powertrain systems. With a global footprint, deep technical expertise and an extensive service network, we deliver dependable, cutting-edge solutions tailored to our customers' needs, supporting them through the energy transition with our Destination Zero strategy. 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 640 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and more than 13,000 Cummins certified dealer locations in approximately 190 countries and territories.
Interim Condensed Financial Statements
The unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations, financial position and cash flows. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements were condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. Our interim period financial results for the three month periods presented are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all required annual disclosures.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts for prior year periods were reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements
Preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts presented and disclosed in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Significant estimates and assumptions in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements require the exercise of judgment. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.
Weighted-Average Diluted Shares Outstanding
The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding exclude the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share were as follows:

Accounts payable to nonconsolidated equity investees 352 263 Accounts payable (principally trade)
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 original due date, which generally have 60 to 90 day payment terms. The maximum amount that we could have outstanding under these programs was $564 million at March 31, 2026. We do not reimburse vendors for any costs they incur for participation in the program; their participation is completely voluntary and there are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the finance provider or intermediary. As a result, all amounts owed to the financial intermediaries are presented as accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts due to the financial intermediaries reflected in accounts payable at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, were $157 million and $153 million, respectively.
NOTE 2. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Long-term Contracts
We have certain arrangements, primarily long-term maintenance agreements, construction contracts, product sales with associated performance obligations extending beyond a year, product sales with lead times extending beyond one year that are non-cancellable or for which the customer incurs a penalty for cancellation and extended warranty coverage arrangements that span a period in excess of one year. The aggregate amount of the transaction price for these contracts, excluding extended warranty coverage arrangements, at March 31, 2026, was $6.9 billion. We expect to recognize the related revenue of $4.0 billion over the next 12 months and $2.9 billion over periods up to 10 years. See NOTE 10, "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.
Deferred and Unbilled Revenue
The following is a summary of our unbilled and deferred revenue and related activity:
In millions March 31,

Unbilled revenue $ 323 $ 439
Deferred revenue 2,644 2,660
We recognized revenue of $519 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared with $350 million for the comparable period in 2025, that was included in the deferred revenue balance at the beginning of each year. We did not record any impairment losses on our unbilled revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2026 or 2025.

Our Amplify Cell Technologies LLC (Amplify) joint venture was formed in May 2024 and meets the definition of a variable interest entity since the equity-at-risk is not currently sufficient to support the future operations of the joint venture. Accelera, Daimler Trucks and Buses U.S. Holding LLC and PACCAR, Inc. each own 30 percent of the joint venture and have two board positions, while EVE Energy owns 10 percent and has one board position. All significant decisions require majority or super-majority approval of the board. As a result, we are not the primary beneficiary of the joint venture, and it is not consolidated. We account for the joint venture using the equity method. Our Amplify joint venture will manufacture battery cells for electric commercial vehicles and industrial applications.
During the first quarter, expectations on electric vehicle demand in the commercial vehicle market continued to change. As a result, the joint venture partners agreed to finish building out the facility while delaying the timing for installing the manufacturing capacity. At this time, the production start date is uncertain. We evaluated the recoverability of our investment for a potential impairment and concluded that no impairment currently exists. As of March 31, 2026, we contributed $412 million and are contractually committed to future contributions of $418 million. The timing of those future contributions is uncertain. Our investment balance at March 31, 2026, net of operating losses, was $353 million. We will continue to monitor future events and developments that could impact our assessment of fair value which could result in an impairment in the future.
NOTE 5. INCOME TAXES
Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were 27.2 percent and 23.9 percent, respectively.
The three months ended March 31, 2026, had an unfavorable discrete tax impact due to the $199 million loss on sale of business and settlement of current and future customer obligations for which no tax benefit was recognized. Other discrete items were net favorable by $7 million. See NOTE 14, "REPORTABLE SEGMENTS," for additional information on loss on sale and settlement of current and future customer obligations.
The three months ended March 31, 2025, contained net favorable discrete tax items of $7 million, primarily due to $8 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefits, partially offset by $1 million of other unfavorable adjustments.

The fair value of Level 1 securities is derived from the market price at the end of the period. 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 levels during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or the year ended December 31, 2025. All debt securities are Level 2 and classified as available-for-sale.
A description of the valuation techniques and inputs used for our Level 2 fair value measures is as follows:
•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.
•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.
•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.

(1) Loans payable consist primarily of loans payable to various international and domestic financial institutions. It is not practicable to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.
(2) The weighted-average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was 3.12 percent and 3.20 percent at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
We can issue up to $4.0 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board authorized commercial paper programs. These 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.
Revolving Credit Facilities
Our committed credit facilities provide access up to $4.0 billion from our $2.0 billion 3-year credit facility and our $2.0 billion 5-year facility. 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 general corporate purposes. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, the $349 million of outstanding commercial paper effectively reduced the $4.0 billion of revolving credit capacity to $3.7 billion.
At March 31, 2026, we also had an additional $777 million available for borrowings under our uncommitted international and other domestic credit facilities.

NOTE 11. 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; environmental and regulatory matters, including the enforcement of environmental and emissions standards; and asbestos claims. 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 is probable and can be reasonably estimated based upon 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.
In December 2023, we reached an agreement in principle with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the California Air Resources Board, the Environmental and Natural Resources Division of the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the California Attorney General's Office to resolve certain regulatory civil claims regarding our emissions certification and compliance process for certain engines primarily used in approximately one million of our pick-up truck applications in the U.S., which became final and effective in April 2024 (collectively, the Settlement Agreements). As part of the Settlement Agreements, among other things, we agreed to pay civil penalties, complete recall requirements, undertake mitigation projects, provide extended warranties, undertake certain testing, take certain corporate compliance measures and make other payments. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Settlement Agreements will subject us to further stipulated penalties. We recorded a charge of $2.0 billion in 2023 to resolve the matters addressed by the Settlement Agreements and made $1.9 billion of required payments in 2024. Of the $2.0 billion charge, $1.7 billion (primarily related to penalties) was non-deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The remaining amount, related to emissions mitigation projects and payments, extended warranties and other related compliance expenses, was deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subsequently we recorded additional immaterial amounts related to stipulated penalties we determined to be probable and estimable. Any future non-compliance with the Settlement Agreements will likely subject us to further stipulated penalties and other adverse consequences.
In connection with our announcement of our entry into the agreement in principle, we became subject to shareholder, consumer and third-party litigation regarding the matters covered by the Settlement Agreements.
The consequences resulting from the resolution of the foregoing matters are uncertain and the related expenses and reputational damage could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
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 March 31, 2026, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $46 million.
We have arrangements with certain suppliers or other third parties that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At March 31, 2026, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $462 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 March 31, 2026, the total commitments under these contracts were $35 million. These arrangements enable us to guarantee the purchase prices of these commodities, which otherwise are subject to market volatility.

Table of Contents
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 $262 million at March 31, 2026.
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 13. DERIVATIVES
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 and locks. 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.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
We had foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $4.8 billion at March 31, 2026, with the following currencies comprising 83 percent of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts: British pound, Chinese renminbi, Australian dollar, Euro and Canadian dollar. We had foreign currency forward contracts with notional amounts of $5.2 billion at December 31, 2025, with the following currencies comprising 82 percent of outstanding foreign currency forward contracts: British pound, Chinese renminbi, Euro, Australian dollar and Canadian dollar.
We are further exposed to foreign currency exchange risk as many of our subsidiaries are subject to fluctuations as the functional currencies of the underlying entities are not our U.S. dollar reporting currency. To help reduce volatility in the equity value of our subsidiaries, we enter into foreign exchange forwards designated as net investment hedges for certain of our investments. Under the terms of our foreign exchange forwards, we agreed with third parties to sell British pounds, Chinese renminbi and Euros in exchange for U.S. dollar currency at a specified rate at the maturity of the contract. The notional amount of these hedges at March 31, 2026, was $1.3 billion. In the second quarter of 2025, we began entering into cross-currency interest rate swaps designated as net investment hedges for certain of our investments to help reduce volatility in the equity value of our subsidiaries. Under the current terms of our cross-currency interest rate swaps, we generally pay fixed-rate interest in Euros or Chinese renminbi and receive fixed-rate interest in U.S. dollars. The notional amount of these hedges at March 31, 2026, was $500 million.

Interest Rate Risk
In 2021, we 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 currently equal to the three-month SOFR.
In December 2025, we entered into $150 million of interest rates swaps and in January 2026, we entered into additional $150 million of interest rate swaps. These series of swaps effectively convert a portion of our senior notes, due in 2054, from a fixed rate of 5.45 percent to a floating rate equal to the daily SOFR plus a spread, in which $50 million matures in 2036 and $250 million matures in 2041.
We designated the swaps 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 interest rate swaps on our 2030 debt and 2054 debt had notional amounts outstanding at March 31, 2026 of $680 million and $300 million, respectively.

We do not currently have any Level 3 input measures and there were no transfers into or out of Level 2 or 3 during the three months ended March 31, 2026, or the year ended December 31, 2025.
We elected to present our derivative contracts on a gross basis in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Had we chosen to present on a net basis, we would have derivatives in a net asset position of $35 million and $20 million and derivatives in a net liability position of $63 million and $69 million at March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
NOTE 14. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
Reportable 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 Chief Executive Officer.
23
Table of Contents
Our reportable segments consist of Engine, Components, Distribution, Power Systems and Accelera. 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 Components segment sells axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems for commercial diesel and natural gas applications, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, fuel systems, valvetrain technologies, automated transmissions and electronics. 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, maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world and providing selected sales and aftermarket support for our Accelera business. The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells standby and prime power generators, engines (16 liters and larger) for standby and prime power generator sets and industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine, rail and defense), alternators and other power components. The Accelera segment designs, manufactures, sells and supports electrified power systems with innovative components and subsystems, including battery and electric powertrain technologies. The Accelera segment is currently in the early stages of commercializing these technologies with efforts primarily focused on the development of electrified power systems and related components and subsystems. We continue to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end customers.
Our CODM uses segment earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA) as the basis to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable segments. EBITDA provides our CODM with a full picture of the profitability of a segment to drive decisions and resource allocation. EBITDA is used as the key profitability measure when we set our annual operating plan, is the metric with which our CODM assesses results and is a key component of our annual variable compensation plans. Segment amounts exclude certain expenses not specifically identifiable to segments.
The accounting policies of our reportable segments are the same as those applied in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our reportable 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 IT, human resources, legal, finance and supply chain management. We do not allocate gains or losses of corporate-owned life insurance. EBITDA may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

NOTE 15. RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)", which requires public business entities to disclose in the notes to the financial statements more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions in the consolidated financial statements, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation and depreciation and amortization. The amendments are effective for us beginning with our 2027 annual period and in interim periods beginning in 2028. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03 on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related disclosures.
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40)", to modernize the accounting guidance for costs to develop software for internal use. The new guidance amends the existing standard to remove references to various stages of a software development project to better align with current software development methods such as agile programming. The types of costs required to be capitalized has not significantly changed. In addition, the new standard requires costs to begin capitalization when (1) management has authorized and committed to funding the project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform its intended function. The new standard is effective for us beginning January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, "Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (Topic 832)", which establishes accounting requirements for grants received by a business entity. A government grant is defined as a transfer of a monetary asset or a tangible non-monetary asset, other than in an exchange transaction. The scope does not include income taxes or guarantees. The amendments are effective for us beginning January 1, 2029. Early adoption is permitted. The ASU may be adopted prospectively or retrospectively. As the standard is largely consistent with our current policy on accounting for government grants (as disclosed in NOTE 1, "SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2025 Form 10-K), we do not expect implementation of the new standard to have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
Overview
We are a global power leader committed to powering a more prosperous world. Since 1919, we have delivered innovative solutions that move people, goods and economies forward. Our five reportable segments - Engine, Components, Distribution, Power Systems and Accelera - offer a broad portfolio, including advanced diesel, electric and hybrid powertrains; integrated power generation systems; critical components such as aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls, transmissions, axles and brakes; and zero emissions technologies like battery and electric powertrain systems. With a global footprint, deep technical expertise and an extensive service network, we deliver dependable, cutting-edge solutions tailored to our customers' needs, supporting them through the energy transition with our Destination Zero strategy. 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., Traton Group, Daimler Trucks AG and Stellantis N.V. We serve our customers through a service network of approximately 640 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and more than 13,000 Cummins certified dealer locations in approximately 190 countries and territories.
Our segment 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 Components segment sells axles, drivelines, brakes and suspension systems for commercial diesel and natural gas applications, aftertreatment systems, turbochargers, fuel systems, valvetrain technologies, automated transmissions and electronics. 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, maintaining relationships with various OEMs throughout the world and providing selected sales and aftermarket support for our Accelera business. The Power Systems segment is an integrated power provider, which designs, manufactures and sells standby and prime power generators, engines (16 liters and larger) for standby and prime power generator sets and industrial applications (including mining, oil and gas, marine, rail and defense), alternators and other power components. The Accelera segment designs, manufactures, sells and supports electrified power systems with innovative components and subsystems, including battery and electric powertrain technologies. The Accelera segment is currently in the early stages of commercializing these technologies with efforts primarily focused on the development of electrified power systems and related components and subsystems. We continue to serve all our markets as they adopt electrification, meeting the needs of our OEM partners and end customers.
Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve, particularly the on-highway, off-highway, power generation 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 geopolitical risks, currency fluctuations, political and economic uncertainty, tariffs and related trade disruptions, public health crises (epidemics or pandemics) and regulatory matters, including adoption and enforcement of environmental and emission standards. As part of our growth strategy, we invest in businesses in certain countries that carry higher levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India, Mexico and other countries in Europe, 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, region, customer or the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.
Global Trade Environment
As disclosed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, 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, including higher tariffs, trade disruptions (such as embargoes, sanctions and export controls) and broader geopolitical tensions, could adversely impact the demand for our products and our competitive position. In 2025, the U.S. imposed tariffs on certain countries and products, which was followed by retaliatory tariffs and other trade actions against U.S. goods and services. On February 20, 2026, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that U.S. tariffs imposed under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) on goods imported into the U.S. were unauthorized. After this ruling, new tariffs were subsequently imposed under different statutes. The global trade environment has contributed to ongoing market volatility and heightened concerns about potential economic impacts. Our primary risks include reduced global movement of goods impacting freight activity, increased costs for suppliers and end-users and uncertainty around supply availability. These factors could lead to a decline in business confidence, reduced demand for our products and increased product costs. We continue to pursue mitigation strategies, including engaging with our suppliers, exploring alternative sourcing and negotiating agreements with our customers to recover tariff-related costs. The financial impact of tariffs, net of mitigation actions and U.S. government tariff refunds (net of amounts to be returned to customers), was immaterial to our profitability and operating cash flows during the first quarter of 2026. However, continued and increasing tariff costs, the effectiveness of our mitigation efforts and ongoing market volatility could materially and adversely affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in the future. We continue to monitor developments and take actions to minimize the related impacts to our business to the extent possible. See the "OUTLOOK" section for a discussion of the potential tariff impacts for the remainder of 2026.
2026 First Quarter Results
A summary of our results is as follows:
Three months ended
March 31,
In millions, except per share amounts 2026 2025
Net sales $ 8,398 $ 8,174
Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. 654 824
Earnings per common share attributable to Cummins Inc.
Basic $ 4.73 $ 5.99
Diluted 4.71 5.96
Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. was $654 million, or $4.71 per diluted share, on sales of $8.4 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2026, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins Inc. of $824 million, or $5.96 per diluted share, on sales of $8.2 billion. The decreases in net income attributable to Cummins Inc. and earnings per diluted share were driven by the loss on sale of business and settlement of current and future customer obligations as well as higher compensation costs, partially offset by improved gross margin and favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Euro). See NOTE 14, "REPORTABLE SEGMENTS," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on loss on sale of business and settlement of current and future customer obligations.
The table below presents our consolidated net sales by geographic area based on the location of the customer:

Table of Contents
Worldwide revenues increased by 3 percent in the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily due to higher demand in power generation markets, especially data center and commercial markets, partially offset by weaker demand in on-highway commercial truck markets. International sales (excludes the U.S. and Canada) improved 16 percent primarily due to higher sales in China and Europe. The increase in international sales was primarily due to higher power generation demand and favorable foreign currency fluctuation impacts of 5 percent (primarily the Euro and Chinese renminbi). Net sales in the U.S. and Canada declined 6 percent primarily due to lower demand in medium-duty and heavy-duty truck markets, partially offset by higher sales in power generation markets.
The following table contains sales and EBITDA (defined as earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests) by reportable segment for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. See NOTE 14, "REPORTABLE SEGMENTS," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.

(1) On March 31, 2026, we sold our low pressure fuel cell business to a customer, cancelled future commitments and resolved certain claims against us with that customer resulting in a net payment by us of $175 million. These transactions resulted in a net charge of $199 million which is reflected in other operating expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.
2026 Highlights
We generated $309 million in cash from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to using $3 million for the comparable period in 2025. 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 March 31, 2026, was 36.5 percent, compared to 36.0 percent at December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily due to a higher debt balance since December 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026, we had $3.2 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and access to our $4.0 billion credit facilities (net of $349 million of commercial paper outstanding), if necessary, to meet working capital, investment, acquisition and funding needs.
In the first quarter of 2026, we repurchased $243 million, or 0.5 million shares, of common stock.
On March 31, 2026, we sold our low pressure fuel cell business to a customer, cancelled future commitments and resolved certain claims against us with that customer resulting in a net payment by us of $175 million. These transactions resulted in a net charge of $199 million, which is reflected in other operating expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.
In January 2026, we entered into a series of interest rates swaps to convert $150 million of our senior notes, due in 2054, from a fixed rate of 5.45 percent to a floating rate equal to the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) plus a spread. See NOTE 13, "DERIVATIVES," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
As of the date of this filing, our credit ratings and outlooks from the credit rating agencies remain unchanged. See the section titled "Credit Ratings" in the "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES" section for our current ratings.

Net Sales
Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, increased by $224 million versus the comparable period in 2025. The primary drivers were as follows:
•Power Systems segment sales increased 19 percent primarily due to higher demand in power generation markets, especially in China and North America.
•Distribution segment sales increased 7 percent principally due to higher demand in power generation markets, especially in Asia Pacific and North America.
•Favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the Euro, Chinese renminbi and Brazilian real).
These increases were partially offset by the following:
•Components segment sales decreased 5 percent mainly due to lower demand in North American medium-duty and heavy-duty truck markets.
•Engine segment sales decreased 4 percent largely due to lower demand in North American medium-duty and heavy-duty truck markets.

Cost of Sales
The types of expenses included in cost of sales are the following: parts and material consumption, including direct and indirect materials; compensation and related expenses, including variable compensation, salaries and fringe 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 and rent for production facilities and other production overhead.
Gross Margin
Gross margin increased $88 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and increased 0.3 points as a percentage of net sales versus the comparable period in 2025. The increases in gross margin and gross margin as a percentage of sales were primarily due to favorable pricing, improved mix and favorable foreign currency impacts (primarily in the Euro and Brazilian real), partially offset by increased compensation expenses. The net impact of tariff costs and related recoveries was immaterial for the three month period ended March 31, 2026.
The provision for base warranties issued as a percentage of sales for the three months ended March 31, 2026, was 1.9 percent compared to 1.9 percent for the comparable period in 2025.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $74 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and increased 0.7 points as a percentage of net sales versus the comparable period in 2025. The increases were mainly due to higher compensation expenses. Compensation and related expenses included salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation.
Research, Development and Engineering Expenses
Research, development and engineering expenses increased $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and increased 0.1 points as a percentage of net sales versus the comparable period in 2025. The increases were mainly due to higher compensation expenses. Compensation and related expenses included salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation.
Research activities continue to focus on development of new products and improvements of current technologies 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 electrified power systems with innovative components and systems including battery and electric power technologies.
Equity, Royalty and Interest Income from Investees
Equity, royalty and interest income from investees increased $17 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to increased earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Chongqing Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Dongfeng Cummins Engine Co., Ltd., Guangxi Cummins Industrial Power Co., Ltd. and Xian Cummins Engine Company Limited, partially offset by lower royalty and interest income from investees.

Our effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, were 27.2 percent and 23.9 percent, respectively.
The three months ended March 31, 2026, had an unfavorable discrete tax impact due to the $199 million loss on sale of business and settlement of current and future customer obligations for which no tax benefit was recognized. Other discrete items were net favorable by $7 million. See NOTE 14, "REPORTABLE SEGMENTS," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on loss on sale and settlement of current and future customer obligations.
The three months ended March 31, 2025, contained net favorable discrete tax items of $7 million, primarily due to $8 million of favorable share-based compensation tax benefits, partially offset by $1 million of other unfavorable adjustments.
Comprehensive Income - Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment
The foreign currency translation adjustment was a net loss of $109 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to a net gain of $117 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, driven by the following:

REPORTABLE SEGMENT RESULTS
Our reportable segments consist of the Engine, Components, Distribution, Power Systems and Accelera segments. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. We use segment EBITDA as the basis for the Chief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable 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 14, "REPORTABLE SEGMENTS," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.
Tariff related costs and recoveries were evaluated independently of all other drivers included in the disclosures below and all references to "price" and "material cost" variances exclude these separately evaluated tariff costs and recoveries. The net impact of tariff costs and related recoveries were immaterial to each reportable segment's EBITDA, unless specifically noted.
Following is a discussion of results for each of our reportable segments.

On March 31, 2026, we sold our low pressure fuel cell business to a customer, cancelled future commitments and resolved certain claims against us with that customer resulting in a net payment by us of $175 million. These transactions resulted in a net charge of $199 million which is reflected in other operating expense, net in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Net Income.
OUTLOOK
The global trade environment, characterized by tariffs, export controls and broader geopolitical tensions, has created significant market volatility while introducing uncertainty around future demand for capital goods as well as potential impacts to our supply chain and our related product costs. Given the breadth, severity and uncertain duration of these global trade measures, our outlook presented below could be negatively impacted by policy-driven volatility. We are proactively taking steps in our supply chain to mitigate impacts where possible and we are working with our customers to pass through incremental costs.
2026 Outlook
Our outlook reflects the following positive trends and challenges to our business that could impact our revenue and earnings potential in 2026.
Positive Trends
•We expect demand within markets served by our Power Systems business to remain strong, including the power generation and industrial markets.
39
Table of Contents
•We anticipate our aftermarket business will remain stable, driven primarily by demand in our Engine and Power Systems businesses.
•We expect demand for medium-duty and heavy-duty trucks in North America to begin improving over the remainder of 2026.
Challenges
•Increases in costs, tariffs, as well as other inflationary pressures, could negatively impact earnings.
•The potential for trade disruptions (including embargoes, sanctions, export controls and the ongoing conflict in Iran) could cause disruptions in production, further increases in the price of oil and other inputs and could negatively impact earnings.
•The slower adoption of zero-emission solutions reduced Accelera's near-term revenue outlook, prompting significant restructuring actions in 2024 and 2025 and a refined strategic investment approach. While we anticipate these actions will gradually improve the cost structure, we expect ongoing investments in priority technologies to result in continued near-term operating losses.
Current Regulatory Challenges For 2026 and Beyond
•Changes in government policies (such as reduced incentives, delayed infrastructure mandates or revised emissions standards) may impact Accelera's ability to compete, scale or recover investments in zero-emission technologies.
•Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements governing emissions, including greenhouse gas (GHG) standards set by the EPA and fuel consumption standards set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). To comply with these regulations, we utilize banking and trading of regulatory compliance credits. In June 2025, NHTSA published an interpretive rule questioning the current regulatory framework of allowing credits as a compliance vehicle. In July 2025, the EPA published a proposed rule that would repeal GHG emissions standards and thus remove the requirement for vehicle and engine manufacturers to measure, control and report these emissions from vehicles. In February 2026, the EPA finalized the rescission of the 2009 Greenhouse Gas Endangerment Finding and repealed all GHG emission standards for on-highway vehicles and engines with an effective date of April 20, 2026. NHTSA rules currently still allow credits as a compliance vehicle. Depending on NHTSA's future rulemaking as indicated by the June 2025 interpretive rule, we may no longer utilize emission compliance credits on future engines sales and the credits could have a minimal, if any value to us. While the rules will likely be subject to legal challenges, in the period NHTSA finalizes a rule, we could be required to incur a non-cash expense up to the value of our existing credits. At March 31, 2026, we had $99 million of emission compliance credits.
•We are navigating a dynamic regulatory environment in the U.S. that could impact future product launches and we are actively engaged with customers, regulators and suppliers to ensure product development and certification requirements are met while delivering high-quality, dependable products that align with customer needs.

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:
Dollars in millions March 31,
2026 December 31,
2025
Working capital (1)

Cash Flows
Cash and cash equivalents were impacted as follows:
Three months ended
March 31,
In millions 2026 2025 Change
Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities $ 309 $ (3) $ 312

Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents (13) 18 (31)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents $ (231) $ (139) $ (92)
Net cash provided by operating activities increased $312 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to lower working capital requirements of $382 million. The lower working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $599 million compared to a cash outflow of $981 million in the comparable period of 2025, mainly due to favorable changes in accrued expenses and accounts payable, partially offset by unfavorable changes in accounts and notes receivable.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased $236 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to lower net investments in marketable securities.
Net cash used in financing activities increased $609 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, primarily due to decreased net borrowings of commercial paper of $485 million and higher repurchases of common stock of $243 million, partially offset by increased proceeds from borrowings of $161 million.
The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended March 31, 2026, versus the comparable period in 2025, declined $31 million primarily due to unfavorable fluctuations in the British pound and Euro.

Sources of Liquidity
We typically generate significant ongoing cash flow and cash provided by operations is generally our principal source of liquidity. Our sources of liquidity include the following:
March 31, 2026
In millions Total U.S. International Primary location of international balances
Cash and cash equivalents $ 2,614 $ 861 $ 1,753 Singapore, China, Australia, Belgium, United Kingdom, Mexico, India, Romania, France and Germany

Total $ 3,182 $ 946 $ 2,236
Available credit capacity
Revolving credit facilities (2)
$ 3,651
International and other uncommitted domestic credit facilities $ 777
(1) The majority of marketable securities could be liquidated into cash within a few days.
(2) The 5-year credit facility for $2.0 billion and the 3-year credit facility for $2.0 billion, maturing June 2030 and June 2028, respectively, are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At March 31, 2026, we had $349 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced our available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.7 billion.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
A significant portion of our cash flow is 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, Canada (including underlying subsidiaries) and Netherlands domiciled subsidiaries. At present, we do not foresee a need to repatriate any earnings for which we assert 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 completely permanently reinvested when cost effective to do so.
Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity
Our committed credit facilities provide access up to $4.0 billion from our $2.0 billion 3-year credit facility and our $2.0 billion 5-year facility. These revolving credit facilities are maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. We intend to maintain credit facilities at the current or higher aggregate amounts by renewing or replacing these facilities at or before expiration. There were no outstanding borrowings under these facilities at March 31, 2026.
Our committed credit facilities also provide access up to $4.0 billion of unsecured, short-term promissory notes (commercial paper) pursuant to the Board of Directors (the Board) authorized commercial paper programs. These 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 $4.0 billion. At March 31, 2026, we had $349 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced our available capacity under our revolving credit facilities to $3.7 billion. See NOTE 9, "DEBT," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
In January 2026, we entered into a series of interest rates swaps to convert $150 million of our senior notes, due in 2054, from a fixed rate of 5.45 percent to a floating rate equal to the daily SOFR plus a spread. See NOTE 13, "DERIVATIVES," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
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, 2025. 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.

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 original due date, which generally have 60 to 90 day payment terms. The maximum amount that we could have outstanding under these programs was $564 million at March 31, 2026. We do not reimburse vendors for any costs they incur for participation in the program; their participation is completely voluntary and there are no assets pledged as security or other forms of guarantees provided for the committed payment to the finance provider or intermediary. As a result, all amounts owed to the financial intermediaries are presented as accounts payable in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount due to the financial intermediaries reflected in accounts payable at March 31, 2026, was $157 million.
Accounts Receivable Sales Program
In May 2024, we entered into an accounts receivable sales agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., to sell certain accounts receivable up to the Board approved limit of $500 million. There was no activity under the program during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Uses of Cash
Dividends
We paid dividends of $276 million during the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Capital Expenditures
Capital expenditures for the three months ended March 31, 2026, were $189 million versus $162 million in the comparable period in 2025. We continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend an estimated $1.35 billion to $1.45 billion in 2026 on capital expenditures with over 65 percent of these expenditures expected to be invested in North America.
Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt
We had $349 million of commercial paper outstanding at March 31, 2026, that matures in less than one year. Required annual long-term debt principal payments range from $83 million to $863 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2026). See NOTE 9, "DEBT," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.
Stock Repurchases
In December 2021, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the $2.0 billion repurchase plan authorized in 2019. In the first three months of March 31, 2026, we made the following purchases under our stock repurchase programs:

Total 0.5 536.97 $ 243
We intend to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2026 to enhance shareholder value.
Settlement of Current and Future Customer Obligations
On March 31, 2026, we sold our low pressure fuel cell business to a customer, cancelled future commitments and resolved certain claims against us with that customer resulting in a net payment by us of $175 million. See NOTE 14, "REPORTABLE SEGMENTS," to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

Pensions
Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 112 percent funded at December 31, 2025. Our U.S. defined benefit plans (qualified and non-qualified), which represented approximately 70 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, were 115 percent funded, and our U.K. defined benefit plans were 105 percent funded at December 31, 2025. The funded status of our pension plans is dependent upon a variety of variables and assumptions including return on invested assets, market interest rates and levels of voluntary contributions to the plans. In the first three months of 2026, the investment loss on our U.S. pension trust was 0.3 percent, while our U.K. pension trusts' loss was 0.5 percent. We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2026 of $35 million for our U.S. and U.K. qualified and non-qualified pension plans. These contributions may be made from trusts or company funds either to increase pension assets or to make direct benefit payments to plan participants. We expect our 2026 annual net periodic pension cost to approximate $75 million.
Credit Ratings

(1) Credit ratings are not recommendations to buy, are subject to change, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. In addition, we undertake no obligation to update disclosures concerning our credit ratings, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
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 in combination with access to our revolving credit facilities and commercial paper programs as noted above. We believe our access to the capital markets, our existing cash and marketable securities, operating cash flow and revolving credit facilities provide us with the financial flexibility needed to fund dividend payments, targeted capital expenditures, debt service obligations, common stock repurchases, projected pension obligations, joint venture contributions and acquisitions through 2026 and beyond.
APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
A summary of our significant accounting policies is included in NOTE 1, "SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES," of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2025 Form 10-K, which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.
Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that often require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and the change would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our senior management has discussed the development and selection of our accounting policies, related accounting estimates and the disclosures set forth below with the Audit Committee of the Board. Our critical accounting estimates disclosed in the Form 10-K address estimating liabilities for warranty programs, assessing goodwill impairment and accounting for income taxes and pension benefits.
A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis" section of our 2025 Form 10-K under the caption "APPLICATION OF CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES." Within the context of these critical accounting estimates, we are not currently aware of any reasonably likely events or circumstances that would result in different policies or estimates being reported in the first three months of 2026.

(1) Shares repurchased under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan only occur in the event of a participant default, which cannot be predicted, and were excluded from this column.
In December 2021, the Board authorized the acquisition of up to $2.0 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the $2.0 billion repurchase plan authorized in 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we repurchased $218 million of common stock under the 2019 authorization, completing this program, and repurchased $25 million of common stock under the 2021 authorization. The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under the 2021 program at March 31, 2026, was $1.98 billion.
Our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. We hold participants' shares as security for the loans and would, in effect, repurchase shares only if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. Shares associated with participants' sales are sold as open-market transactions via a third-party broker.
