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 billiona, primarily driven by acquisitions in the Distribution and Components segments.

05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What were the main drivers of the decline in net income for the second quarter and first half of 2013?
The decline in net income was primarily driven by lower gross margins due to unfavorable product mix and lower volumes, a higher effective tax rate compared to the prior year, and unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations. In the first six months, lower equity, royalty, and interest income from investees also contributed to the decrease.
How did the company's market segments perform in the second quarter?
The Components segment sales increased by 8% and the Distribution segment sales increased by 20%, largely due to acquisitions. However, the Engine segment sales decreased by 7% and the Power Generation segment sales decreased by 10%, reflecting weaker demand in their respective markets. Foreign currency fluctuations also negatively impacted sales.
What is the company's outlook for the remainder of 2013?
Cummins anticipates improving demand in its emission solutions business and market share gains in North America medium-duty trucks. However, challenges remain due to sluggish European markets, currency volatility, continued weakness in North American oil and gas, potential weakening in mining markets, and declining demand in Indian on-highway markets and international power generation.
How is the company managing its liquidity and capital resources?
Cummins maintains a strong liquidity position with $1.4 billion in cash and equivalents and marketable securities as of June 30, 2013, along with substantial availability under its credit facilities. The company generated strong operating cash flow, used for capital expenditures, dividends, and share repurchases, indicating ample financial flexibility.
