Summary
Cummins Inc. (CMI) reported its second-quarter and year-to-date results for the period ending June 30, 2013. For the quarter, net sales increased slightly year-over-year to $4.525 billion, primarily driven by acquisitions in the Distribution and Components segments. However, consolidated net income attributable to Cummins Inc. decreased by 12% to $414 million ($2.20 per diluted share) compared to $469 million ($2.47 per diluted share) in the prior year's quarter. This decline was attributed to lower gross margins, a higher effective tax rate, and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, despite efforts to control operating expenses. For the first six months of the year, net sales saw a 5% decline to $8.447 billion, with most segments experiencing reduced demand, particularly in on-highway, mining, and oil & gas markets. Consolidated net income attributable to Cummins Inc. for this period fell significantly by 25% to $696 million ($3.69 per diluted share) from $924 million ($4.85 per diluted share) in the same period last year. The company generated strong operating cash flows of $960 million for the first half of 2013, an increase from the prior year, and maintained a strong liquidity position with $1.4 billion in cash and equivalents and significant revolving credit facilities.
