CUMMINS INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. NATURE OF OPERATIONS

Cummins Inc. (“Cummins,” “we,” “our” or “us”) was founded in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company, a corporation in Columbus, Indiana, as one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. We changed our name to Cummins Inc. in 2001. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 wholly-owned and independent distributor locations and over 7,400 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

NOTE 2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

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 have been 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 for interim financial information. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations.

These interim condensed 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, 2016. 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 disclosures required by GAAP.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts for prior year periods have been reclassified to conform to the presentation of the current year.

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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 and are used for, but not limited to, allowance for doubtful accounts, estimates of future cash flows and other assumptions associated with goodwill and long-lived asset impairment tests, useful lives for depreciation and amortization, warranty programs, determination of discount rate and other assumptions for pension and other postretirement benefit costs, income taxes and deferred tax valuation allowances, lease classification and contingencies. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved in making estimates, actual results reported in future periods may be different from these estimates.

Reporting Period

Our reporting period usually ends on the Sunday closest to the last day of the quarterly calendar period. The first quarters of 2017 and 2016 ended on April 2 and April 3, respectively. Our fiscal year ends on December 31, regardless of the day of the week on which December 31 falls.

Weighted-average Diluted Shares Outstanding

The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding excludes the anti-dilutive effect of certain stock options since such options had an exercise price in excess of the monthly average market value of our common stock. The options excluded from diluted earnings per share were as follows:

	Three months ended
	April 2, 2017	April 3, 2016
Options excluded	116,535	1,687,666

Accelerated Share Repurchase

On February 9, 2016, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (ASR) agreement with a third party financial institution to repurchase $500 million of our common stock under our previously announced share repurchase plans. Pursuant to the terms of the agreement, we paid the full $500 million purchase price and received approximately 4.1 million shares at a price of $98.43 per share, representing approximately 80 percent of the shares expected to be repurchased. The unsettled portion of the ASR met the criteria to be accounted for as a forward contract indexed to our stock and qualified as an equity transaction. This resulted in a $100 million reduction to additional paid-in capital during the first quarter of 2016. The initial delivery of shares resulted in a reduction to our common stock outstanding used to calculate earnings per share in the first quarter of 2016.

NOTE 3. PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

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



	Three months ended
In millions	April 2, 2017		April 3, 2016
Defined benefit pension plans

Mandatory contribution	—		12
Defined benefit pension contributions	$	43	$	60

Other postretirement plans	$	15	$	13

Defined contribution pension plans	$	29	$	21

We anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2017 of $91 million for our U.S. and U.K pension plans. Approximately $133 million of the estimated $134 million of pension contributions for the full year are voluntary. 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 2017 net periodic pension cost to approximate $83 million.

The components of net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs under our plans were as follows:



	Pension

Government debt securities	2		—		2		2		—		2
Total marketable securities	$	144	$	1	$	145	$	260	$	—	$	260

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾All marketable securities are classified as Level 2 securities. 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 the first three months of 2017 and for the year ended 2016.

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


•	Debt mutual funds— The fair value measure for the vast majority of these investments is the daily net asset value 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.

•

Bank debentures— 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 institutions’ month-end statement.


•	Equity mutual funds— The fair value measure for these investments is the net asset value 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.


•	Government debt securities— The fair value measure for these securities is broker quotes received from reputable firms. These securities are infrequently traded on a national stock 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 and gross realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities were as follows:



	Three months ended
In millions	April 2, 2017		April 3, 2016
Proceeds from sales and maturities of marketable securities ⁽¹⁾	$	147	$	35

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾Gross realized gains and losses from the sale of available-for-sale securities were immaterial.

The fair value of available-for-sale investments in debt securities that utilize a Level 2 fair value measure is shown by contractual maturity below:



Contractual Maturity (In millions)	April 2, 2017

NOTE 7. DEBT

Loans Payable and Commercial Paper

Loans payable, commercial paper and the related weighted-average interest rates were as follows:



In millions	April 2, 2017		December 31, 2016
Loans payable ⁽¹⁾	$	48	$	41
Commercial paper ⁽²⁾	274		212

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾ Loans payable consist primarily of notes payable to various domestic and international financial institutions. It is not practical to aggregate these notes and calculate a quarterly weighted-average interest rate.

⁽²⁾ The weighted average interest rate, inclusive of all brokerage fees, was 0.94 percent and 0.79 percent at April 2, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

NOTE 9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; 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 pursuant to GAAP 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.

Loss Contingency Charges

Engine systems sold in the U.S. must be certified to comply with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and California Air Resources Board (CARB) emission standards. EPA and CARB regulations require that in-use testing be performed on vehicles by the emission certificate holder and reported to the EPA and CARB in order to ensure ongoing compliance with these emission standards. We are the holder of this emission certificate for our engines, including engines installed in certain vehicles with one customer on which we did not also manufacture or sell the emission aftertreatment system. During 2015, a quality issue in certain of these third party aftertreatment systems caused some of our inter-related engines to fail in-use emission testing. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the vehicle manufacturer made a request that we assist in the design and bear the financial cost of a field campaign (Campaign) to address the technical issue purportedly causing some vehicles to fail the in-use testing.

While we are not responsible for the warranty issues related to a component that we did not manufacture or sell, as the emission compliance certificate holder, we are responsible for proposing a remedy to the EPA and CARB. As a result, we have proposed actions to the agencies that we believe will address the emission failures. As the certificate holder, we expect to participate in the cost of the proposed voluntary Campaign and recorded a charge of $60 million in 2015. The Campaign design was finalized with our OEM customer, reviewed with the EPA and submitted for final approval in 2016. We concluded based upon additional in-use emission testing performed in 2016, that the Campaign should be expanded to include a larger population of vehicles manufactured by this one OEM. We recorded additional charges of $138 million in 2016 to reflect the estimated cost of our participation in the Campaign. We continue to work with our OEM customer to resolve the allocation of costs for the Campaign, including pending litigation between the parties. The Campaign is not expected to be completed for some time and our final cost could differ from the amount we have recorded.

We do not currently expect any fines or penalties from the EPA or CARB related to this matter.

Table of Contents

The Campaign began in the fourth quarter of 2016. The remaining accrual of $181 million is included in ''Other accrued expenses'' in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 April 2, 2017, the maximum potential loss related to these guarantees was $43 million.

We have arrangements with certain suppliers that require us to purchase minimum volumes or be subject to monetary penalties. At April 2, 2017, if we were to stop purchasing from each of these suppliers, the aggregate amount of the penalty would be approximately $119 million, of which $41 million relates to a contract with a components supplier that extends to 2018 and $35 million relates to a contract with a power systems supplier that extends to 2019. Most of these arrangements enable us to secure critical components. We do not currently anticipate paying any penalties under these contracts.

We enter into physical forward contracts with suppliers of platinum, palladium and copper to purchase minimum volumes of the commodities at contractually stated prices for various periods, not to exceed two years. At April 2, 2017, the total commitments under these contracts were $24 million. These arrangements enable us to fix 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 $83 million at April 2, 2017.

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 11. 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 Chief Operating Officer.

Our reportable operating segments consist of Engine, Distribution, Components and Power Systems. This reporting structure is organized according to the products and markets each segment serves. The Engine segment produces engines (15 liters and less in size) 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 and fuel systems. 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.

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

The accounting policies of our operating segments are the same as those applied in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. We prepared the financial results of our operating segments on a basis that is consistent with the manner in which we internally disaggregate financial information to assist in making internal operating decisions. We 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 debt-related items, actuarial gains or losses, prior service costs or credits, changes in cash surrender value of corporate owned life insurance or income taxes to individual segments. Segment EBIT may not be consistent with measures used by other companies.

Summarized financial information regarding our reportable operating segments is shown in the table below:

NOTE 12. RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) amended its standards related to the accounting for stock compensation which became effective for us beginning January 1, 2017. We adopted certain provisions prospectively in accordance with the standard, while others were required to be adopted retrospectively. The amendment replaced the requirement to record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (APIC) with prospectively recording all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense / benefit in the income statement. Excess tax benefits and deficiencies are required to be recorded as discrete items in the period in which they occur and were not material for three months ended April 2, 2017. In addition, the standard impacted our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as excess tax benefits are now required to be presented as an operating activity (we elected a retrospective presentation) and the cash paid to tax authorities when shares are withheld to satisfy the employer's statutory income tax withholding obligation are required to be presented as a financing activity (requiring retrospective presentation). This resulted in a net reclassification of $4 million from operating to financing activities for the three months ended April 3, 2016. Finally, in accordance with the standard, we elected to continue our historical approach of estimating forfeitures during the award's vesting period and adjusting our estimate when it is no longer probable that the employee will fulfill the service condition. The adoption of the standard was not material to our diluted earnings per common share.

Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective

In March 2017, the FASB amended its standards related to the presentation of pension and other postretirement benefit costs in the financial statements. Under the new standard, we will be required to separate service costs from all other elements of pension costs and reflect the other elements of pension costs outside of operating income in our Consolidated Statements of Income. In addition, the standard will limit the amount eligible for capitalization (into inventory or self-constructed assets) to the amount of service cost. This portion of the standard will be applied on a prospective basis. The new standard is effective for us on a retrospective basis beginning January 1, 2018. While we are still evaluating the impact of this standard, the change in presentation will likely result in a decrease in operating income primarily due to the requirement to present the effects of expected return on plan assets outside of operating income.

In August 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments. The new standard will make eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. The new standard will require adoption on a retrospective basis unless it is impracticable to apply, in which case it would be required to apply the amendments prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. We are in the process of evaluating the impact this standard will have on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In June 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for credit losses on financial instruments. This amendment introduces new guidance for accounting for credit losses on instruments including trade receivables and held-to-maturity debt securities. The new rules are effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2019. Early

Table of Contents

adoption is permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for leases. Under the new standard, lessees will now be required to recognize substantially all leases on the balance sheet as both a right-of-use-asset and a liability. The standard will continue to have two types of leases for income statement recognition purposes: operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases will result in the recognition of a single lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term similar to the treatment for operating leases under today's standards. Finance leases will result in an accelerated expense similar to the accounting for capital leases under today's standards. The determination of a lease classification as operating or finance will occur in a manner similar to today's standard. The new standard also contains amended guidance regarding the identification of embedded leases in service contracts and the identification of lease and non-lease components of an arrangement. The new standard is effective on January 1, 2019, with early adoption permitted. We are still evaluating the impact the standard could have on our Consolidated Financial Statements; however, while we have not yet quantified the amount, we do expect the standard will have a material impact on our Consolidated Balance Sheets due to the recognition of additional assets and liabilities for operating leases.

In January 2016, the FASB amended its standards related to the accounting for certain financial instruments. This amendment addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure. The new rules will become effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In May 2014, the FASB amended its standards related to revenue recognition. This amendment replaces all existing revenue recognition guidance and provides a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers. The standard contains principles that we will apply to determine the measurement of revenue and timing of when it is recognized. The underlying principle is that we will recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of goods or services to customers at an amount that we expect to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. Other major provisions include capitalization of certain contract costs, consideration of the time value of money in the transaction price and allowing estimates of variable consideration to be recognized before contingencies are resolved in certain circumstances. The amendment also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in those judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to fulfill a contract. The standard allows either full or modified retrospective adoption effective for annual and interim periods beginning January 1, 2018. We are in the process of evaluating the impact the amendment will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements. We expect to adopt the standard using the modified retrospective approach. While we have not yet completed our evaluation process, we have identified that a change will be required related to our accounting for remanufactured product sales that include an exchange of the used product, referred to as core. Revenue is not currently recognized related to the core component unless the used product is not returned. Under the new standard, the transaction will be accounted for as a gross sale and a purchase of inventory. As a result the exchange will increase both sales and cost of sales, in equal amounts, related to core. This will not impact gross margin dollars, but will impact the gross margin percentage. We are still quantifying the amount of this change. We have also identified transactions where revenue recognition is currently limited to the amount of billings not contingent on our future performance. With the allocation provisions of the new model, we expect to accelerate the timing of revenue recognition for amounts related to satisfied performance obligations that would have been delayed under the current guidance. We do not expect the impact of this change to be material, but we are still quantifying the impact.

NOTE 13. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On April 10, 2017, we entered into an agreement to form a joint venture with Eaton Corporation PLC, subject to regulatory approvals. We will purchase a 50 percent interest in the new venture named Eaton Cummins Automated Transmission Technologies, for approximately $600 million in cash. The joint venture will design, assemble, sell and support medium-duty and heavy-duty automated transmissions for the commercial vehicle market, including new product launches. We expect the transaction to close in the third quarter of 2017, at which time we will consolidate the results of the joint venture in our Components segment as we have a majority voting interest in the venture by virtue of a tie-breaking vote on the board of directors.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines and engine-related component products, including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems and electric power generation systems. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors and other customers worldwide. We have long-standing relationships with many of the leading manufacturers in the markets we serve, including PACCAR Inc, Daimler Trucks North America, Navistar International Corporation and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. We serve our customers through a network of approximately 600 wholly-owned and independent distributor locations and over 7,400 dealer locations in more than 190 countries and territories.

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 and stoppages. 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 and regulatory matters, including adoption and enforcement of environmental and emission standards, in the countries we serve. As part of our growth strategy, we invest in businesses in certain countries that carry high levels of these risks such as China, Brazil, India, Mexico, Russia and countries in the Middle East and Africa. At the same time, our geographic diversity and broad product and service offerings have helped limit the impact from a drop in demand in any one industry or customer or the economy of any single country on our consolidated results.

Worldwide revenues increased 7 percent in the three months ended April 2, 2017, as compared to the same period in 2016, primarily due to higher demand in most global industrial markets, increased demand in all Components businesses, organic sales growth in our Distribution segment and the consolidation of North American distributors since December 31, 2015, partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations and decreased demand in most on-highway markets. International demand growth (excludes the U.S. and Canada) in the first quarter of 2017 improved revenues by 17 percent, with sales up in most of our markets, especially in China, India, Russia and the U.K. The increase in international sales was primarily due to increased demand in industrial markets (especially construction markets in China and mining markets in Eastern Europe) and increased demand in all Components businesses (especially in China), partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency impacts of 3 percent (primarily in the British pound and Chinese renminbi). Revenue in the U.S. and Canada improved by 1 percent primarily due to increased Distribution segment sales related to organic growth and the consolidation of North American distributors, partially offset by decreased demand in the North American on-highway markets.

The following tables contain sales and earnings before interest expense, income tax expense and noncontrolling interests (EBIT) by operating segment for the three months ended April 2, 2017 and April 3, 2016. Refer to the section titled “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” for a more detailed discussion of sales and EBIT by operating segment, including the reconciliation of segment EBIT to net income attributable to Cummins Inc.

Net income attributable to Cummins was $396 million, or $2.36 per diluted share, on sales of $4.6 billion for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable prior year period net income attributable to Cummins of $321 million, or $1.87 per diluted share, on sales of $4.3 billion. The increase in net income and earnings per diluted share was driven by higher gross margin, improved equity, royalty and interest income from investees and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to higher volumes and favorable pricing, partially offset by higher warranty costs of $34 million due to a change in estimate in the first quarter of 2017 driven by higher claims for certain 2013 and 2014 engines in our Engine Segment. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended April 2, 2017, benefited $0.01 from fewer weighted average shares outstanding due to purchases under the stock repurchase programs.

We generated $379 million of operating cash flows for the three months ended April 2, 2017, compared to $267 million for the comparable period in 2016. Refer to the section titled "Cash Flows" in the "LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES" section for a discussion of items impacting cash flows.

During the first three months of 2017, we repurchased $51 million, or 0.3 million shares of common stock.

Our debt to capital ratio (total capital defined as debt plus equity) at April 2, 2017, was flat at 20.6 percent, compared to December 31, 2016. At April 2, 2017, we had $1.5 billion in cash and marketable securities on hand and access to our credit facilities, if necessary, to meet currently anticipated investment and funding needs.

We expect our effective tax rate for the full year of 2017 to approximate 26.0 percent, excluding any one-time tax items.

Net Sales

Net sales for the three months ended April 2, 2017, increased by $298 million versus the comparable period in 2016. The primary drivers were as follows:


•	Distribution segment sales increased 12 percent primarily due to an increase in organic sales and higher sales related to the acquisition of North American distributors since December 31, 2015.


•	Components segment sales increased 9 percent primarily due to higher demand across all lines of businesses, primarily in China.


•	Power Systems segment sales increased 9 percent, across all product lines, primarily due to higher demand in industrial markets, especially European mining and North American rail markets.


•	Engine segment sales increased 2 percent primarily due to higher demand in off-highway markets, partially offset by lower demand in heavy-duty truck and light-duty automotive markets.

These increases were unfavorably impacted by foreign currency fluctuations of approximately 1 percent, primarily in the British pound and Chinese renminbi.

Sales to international markets (excluding the U.S. and Canada), based on location of customers, for the three months ended April 2, 2017, were 43 percent of total net sales compared with 39 percent of total net sales for the comparable period in 2016. A more detailed discussion of sales by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Table of Contents

Gross Margin

Gross margin increased $72 million for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016 and remained flat as a percentage of sales. The increase in gross margin dollars was primarily due to higher volumes and favorable pricing, partially offset by higher warranty costs of $34 million due to a change in estimate in the first quarter of 2017 driven by higher claims for certain 2013 and 2014 engines in our Engine Segment.

The provision for base warranties issued, excluding campaigns, as a percent of sales for the three months ended April 2, 2017, was 1.9 percent compared to 2.0 percent for the comparable period in 2016. A detailed discussion of margin by segment is presented in the “OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS” section.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $47 million for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to higher consulting expenses ($20 million) and higher compensation expenses ($19 million). Compensation and related expenses include salaries, fringe benefits and variable compensation. Overall, selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percentage of sales, increased to 11.7 percent in the three months ended April 2, 2017, from 11.4 percent in the comparable period in 2016.

Research, Development and Engineering Expenses

Research, development and engineering expenses decreased $8 million for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to increased expense recovery from customers and external parties ($7 million). Overall, research, development and engineering expenses, as a percentage of sales, decreased to 3.4 percent in the three months ended April 2, 2017, from 3.9 percent in the comparable period in 2016.

Research activities continue to focus on development of new products to meet future emission standards around the world and improvements in fuel economy performance of diesel and natural gas powered engines.

Equity, Royalty and Interest Income from Investees

Equity, royalty and interest income from investees increased $36 million for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to higher earnings at Beijing Foton Cummins Engine Co., Ltd. and Dongfeng Cummins Engine Company, Ltd.

Other Operating Income (Expense), Net

Income Tax Expense

Our effective tax rate for the year is expected to approximate 26.0 percent, excluding any one-time items that may arise. Our tax rate is generally less than the 35 percent U.S. statutory income tax rate primarily due to lower tax rates on foreign income and the research tax credit.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 2, 2017, was 26.1 percent and contained only immaterial discrete items.

Our effective tax rate for the three months ended April 3, 2016, was 28.4 percent and did not include any discrete items.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, was primarily due to favorable changes in the jurisdictional mix of pre-tax income.

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 for the three months ended April 2, 2017, decreased $3 million versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to the acquisition of the remaining interest in Wuxi Cummins Turbo Technologies Co. Ltd, in the fourth quarter of 2016.

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

Net income and diluted earnings per share attributable to Cummins Inc. for the three months ended April 2, 2017, increased $75 million and $0.49 per share, respectively versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to higher gross margin, improved equity, royalty and interest income from investees and a lower effective tax rate, partially offset by increased selling, general and administrative expenses. Diluted earnings per share for the three months ended April 2, 2017, benefited $0.01 from fewer weighted average shares outstanding due to purchases under the stock repurchase programs.

Sales

Engine segment sales for the three months ended April 2, 2017, increased $47 million versus the comparable period in 2016, driven by higher off-highway sales of $73 million primarily due to improved demand in most global industrial markets with increased unit shipments of 66 percent in international construction markets.

The increase above was partially offset by the following:


•	Heavy-duty truck sales decreased $11 million primarily due to lower demand in the North American heavy-duty truck market with decreased engine shipments of 14 percent.


•	Light-duty automotive sales decreased $10 million primarily due to lower sales to Nissan and lower sales of light commercial vehicles, partially offset by higher sales to Chrysler.

Total on-highway-related sales for the three months ended April 2, 2017, were 78 percent of total engine segment sales, compared to 82 percent for the comparable period in 2016.

Segment EBIT

Engine segment EBIT for the three months ended April 2, 2017, increased $32 million versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:



	Three months ended

Sales

Components segment sales for the three months ended April 2, 2017, increased $107 million, across all lines of business, versus the comparable period in 2016. The following were the primary drivers:


•	Fuel systems sales increased $33 million primarily due to higher demand in China.


•	Emission solutions sales increased $27 million primarily due to higher demand in China, Western Europe and India, partially offset by unfavorable pricing in North America.


•	Filtration sales increased $25 million primarily due to higher demand in North America, Australia, Southeast Asia and China.


•	Turbo technologies sales increased $22 million primarily due to higher demand in China.

These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily in the Chinese renminbi and British pound.

Segment EBIT

Components segment EBIT for the three months ended April 2, 2017, increased $16 million versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to higher gross margin, lower research, development and engineering expenses and higher equity, royalty and interest income from investees, partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses.

Sales

Power Systems segment sales for the three months ended April 2, 2017, increased $74 million, across all product lines, versus the comparable period in 2016. The following were the primary drivers:


•	Industrial sales increased $60 million primarily due to higher demand in international mining markets and North American rail markets.


•	Power generation sales increased $8 million primarily due to higher demand in Western Europe, partially offset by lower demand in the Middle East.

These increases were partially offset by unfavorable foreign currency fluctuations, primarily due to the British pound.

Segment EBIT

Power Systems segment EBIT for the three months ended April 2, 2017, increased $11 million versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to higher gross margin and favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the British pound), partially offset by higher selling, general and administrative expenses. Major components of EBIT and related changes to segment EBIT and EBIT as a percentage of sales were as follows:



	Three months ended
	April 2, 2017 vs. April 3, 2016
	Favorable/(Unfavorable) Change
In millions	Amount			Percent		Percentage point change as a percent of total sales
Gross margin	$	15		8	%	(0.2	)
Selling, general and administrative expenses	(3		)	(3	)%	0.7
Research, development and engineering expenses	(1		)	(2	)%	0.4
Equity, royalty and interest income from investees	2			20	%	0.2

The increase in gross margin for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, was primarily due to higher volumes and favorable foreign currency fluctuations (primarily in the British pound), partially offset by unfavorable mix and higher commodity costs. The increase in selling, general and administrative expenses was primarily due to higher consulting expenses.

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 attention. Working capital and balance sheet measures are provided in the following table:



Dollars in millions	April 2, 2017			December 31, 2016
Working capital ⁽¹⁾	$	3,497		$	3,382
Current ratio	1.75			1.78
Accounts and notes receivable, net	$	3,247		$	3,025
Days’ sales in receivables	62			61
Inventories	$	2,894		$	2,675
Inventory turnover	4.8			4.7
Accounts payable (principally trade)	$	2,168		$	1,854
Days' payable outstanding	52			51
Total debt	$	1,945		$	1,856
Total debt as a percent of total capital	20.6		%	20.6		%

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾Working capital includes cash and cash equivalents.

Cash Flows

Cash and cash equivalents were impacted as follows:



	Three months ended
In millions	April 2, 2017			April 3, 2016			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	379		$	267		$	112
Net cash used in investing activities	(27		)	(388		)	361
Net cash used in financing activities	(164		)	(636		)	472
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents	14			(39		)	53
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	202		$	(796	)	$	998

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $112 million for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to higher consolidated net income, the absence of restructuring payments and lower working capital levels. During the first three months of 2017, the lower working capital requirements resulted in a cash outflow of $128 million compared to a cash outflow of $140 million in the comparable period in 2016.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $361 million for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to lower net investments in marketable securities of $377 million.

Net cash used in financing activities decreased $472 million for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, primarily due to lower repurchases of common stock of $524 million and higher borrowings of commercial paper of $12 million, partially offset by lower proceeds from borrowings of $105 million.

The effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents for the three months ended April 2, 2017, versus the comparable period in 2016, increased $53 million primarily due to the British pound, which increased cash and cash equivalents by $46 million.

Sources of Liquidity

We generate significant ongoing cash flow. Cash provided by operations is our principal source of liquidity with $379 million provided in the three months ended April 2, 2017.

Table of Contents

At April 2, 2017, our other sources of liquidity included:



	April 2, 2017
In millions	Total		U.S.		International		Primary location of international balances
Cash and cash equivalents	$	1,322	$	438	$	884	U.K., Singapore, China, Australia, Canada
Marketable securities ⁽¹⁾	145		40		105		India
Total	$	1,467	$	478	$	989
Available credit capacity
Revolving credit facility ⁽²⁾	$	1,476
International and other uncommitted domestic credit facilities ⁽³⁾	153

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾The majority of marketable securities could be liquidated into cash within a few days.

⁽²⁾The revolving credit facility is maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings and general corporate purposes. At April 2, 2017, we had $274 million of commercial paper outstanding, which effectively reduced the available capacity under our revolving credit facility to $1.48 billion.

⁽³⁾ The available capacity is net of letters of credit.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities

A significant portion of our cash flows is generated outside the U.S. The geographic location of our cash and marketable securities aligns well with our ongoing investments. 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.

Debt Facilities and Other Sources of Liquidity

We can issue up to $1.75 billion of unsecured short-term promissory notes ("commercial paper") pursuant to a commercial paper program. The program facilitates the private placement of unsecured short-term debt through third party brokers. We intend to use the net proceeds from the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes.

We have a $1.75 billion revolving credit facility, the proceeds of which can be used for general corporate purposes. This facility expires on November 13, 2020. The revolving credit facility is maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for our commercial paper borrowings, letters of credit and general corporate purposes. The total combined borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility and commercial paper program should not exceed $1.75 billion.

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 on February 16, 2016. 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.

Uses of Cash

Share Repurchases

In December 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2015 repurchase plan. In the first three months of 2017, we made the following purchases under the 2015 stock repurchase program:



In millions, except per share amounts	Shares Purchased	Average Cost Per Share		Total Cost of Repurchases		Remaining Authorized Capacity ⁽¹⁾
April 2	0.3	$	151.32	$	51	$	445

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾ The remaining authorized capacity under the 2015 Plan was calculated based on the cost to purchase the shares but excludes commission expenses in accordance with the authorized Plan.

Table of Contents

We may continue to repurchase outstanding shares from time to time during 2017 to enhance shareholder value and to offset the dilutive impact of employee stock based compensation plans.

Dividends

In July 2016, our Board of Directors authorized an increase to our quarterly dividend of 5.1 percent from $0.975 per share to $1.025 per share. We paid dividends of $171 million during the three months ended April 2, 2017.

Agreement to Form a Joint Venture

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures and spending on internal use software for the three months ended April 2, 2017, were $108 million compared to $84 million in the comparable period in 2016. We continue to invest in new product lines and targeted capacity expansions. We plan to spend between $500 million and $530 million in 2017 on capital expenditures as we continue with product launches and facility improvements. Approximately 50 percent of our capital expenditures are expected to be invested outside of the U.S. in 2017.

Pensions

Our global pension plans, including our unfunded and non-qualified plans, were 110 percent funded at December 31, 2016. Our U.S. qualified plans, which represent approximately 56 percent of the worldwide pension obligation, were 118 percent funded and our U.K. plans were 121 percent funded. 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 2017, the investment return on our U.S. pension trust was 3.1 percent while our U.K. pension trust return was 2.7 percent. Approximately 77 percent of our pension plan assets are held in highly liquid investments such as fixed income and equity securities. The remaining 23 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 anticipate making additional defined benefit pension contributions during the remainder of 2017 of $91 million for our U.S. and U.K pension plans. Approximately $133 million of the estimated $134 million of U.S. and U.K. pension contributions for the full year are voluntary. 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 2017 net periodic pension cost to approximate $83 million.

Current Maturities of Short and Long-Term Debt

We had $274 million of commercial paper outstanding at April 2, 2017, that matures in less than one year. The maturity schedule of our existing long-term debt does not require significant cash outflows in the intermediate term. Required annual principal payments range from $4 million to $45 million over the next five years (including the remainder of 2017).

Credit Ratings

Our ratings and outlook from each of the credit rating agencies as of the date of filing are shown in the table below.



	Long-Term	Short-Term
Credit Rating Agency ⁽¹⁾	Senior Debt Rating	Debt Rating	Outlook
Standard & Poor’s Rating Services	A+	A1	Stable

⁽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. We believe our operating cash flow and liquidity provides us with the financial flexibility

needed to fund working capital, common stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, dividend payments, projected pension obligations and debt service obligations. We continue to generate cash from operations and maintain access to our revolving credit facility 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 the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements of our 2016 Form 10-K, which discusses accounting policies that we have selected from acceptable alternatives.

Our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles that often require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions regarding uncertainties that affect the reported amounts presented and disclosed in the financial statements. Management reviews these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience, changes in business conditions and other relevant factors they believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. In any given reporting period, our actual results may differ from the estimates and assumptions used in preparing our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Critical accounting estimates are defined as follows: the estimate requires management to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the estimate was made; different estimates reasonably could have been used; or if changes in the estimate are reasonably likely to occur from period to period and the change would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. Our senior management has discussed the development and selection of our accounting policies, related accounting estimates and the disclosures set forth below with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Our critical accounting estimates disclosed in the Form 10-K address the estimation of liabilities for warranty programs, accounting for income taxes and pension benefits.

A discussion of our critical accounting estimates may be found in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2016 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 2017.

RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

See Note 12, "RECENTLY ADOPTED AND RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS," in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information.

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

A discussion of quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk may be found in Item 7A of our 2016 Form 10-K. There have been no material changes in this information since the filing of our 2016 Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e). Based upon that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (1) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and (2) accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended April 2, 2017, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

We are subject to numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability; personal injury; the use and performance of our products; warranty matters; 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 pursuant to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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.

The disclosure set forth under "Loss Contingency" in Note 9, "COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES," to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to other information set forth in this report, you should consider other risk factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K or the "CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION" in this Quarterly report are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently judge to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition or operating results.

ITEM 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

The following information is provided pursuant to Item 703 of Regulation S-K:



	Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

____________________________________

⁽¹⁾ Shares purchased represent shares under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan established in 1969 (there is no maximum repurchase limitation in this plan) and our Board of Directors authorized share repurchase programs.

⁽²⁾ These values reflect the sum of shares held in loan status under our Key Employee Stock Investment Plan. The repurchase programs authorized by the Board of Directors do not limit the number of shares that may be purchased and were excluded from this column. The dollar value remaining available for future purchases under such programs as of April 2, 2017, was $1.4 billion.

In December 2016, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon completion of the 2015 repurchase plan. In November 2015, our Board of Directors authorized the acquisition of up to $1 billion of additional common stock upon the completion of the 2014 repurchase plan. During the three months ended April 2, 2017, we repurchased $51 million of common stock under the 2015 Board of Directors authorized plan.

Table of Contents

During the three months ended April 2, 2017, we repurchased 24,507 shares from employees in connection with the Key Employee Stock Investment Plan which allows certain employees, other than officers, to purchase shares of common stock on an installment basis up to an established credit limit. Loans are issued for five-year terms at a fixed interest rate established at the date of purchase and may be refinanced after their initial five-year period for an additional five-year period. Participants must hold shares for a minimum of six months from date of purchase. If the shares are sold before the loan is paid off, the employee must wait six months before another share purchase may be made. We hold participants’ shares as security for the loans and would, in effect repurchase shares if the participant defaulted in repayment of the loan. There is no maximum amount of shares that we may purchase under this plan.
