PEORIA, Ill., July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) today announced profit per share of $1.57 for the second quarter of 2014, an increase from $1.45 per share in the second quarter of 2013.  The second quarter of 2014 included a negative impact of $0.12 per share for previously announced restructuring activities.  Excluding restructuring costs, profit per share was $1.69.  Second-quarter 2014 sales and revenues were $14.150 billion, slightly lower than second-quarter 2013 sales and revenues of $14.621 billion.

"We're pleased with our second-quarter results, particularly the improvement in profit.  We increased the bottom line despite a weak quarter for our Resource Industries segment, which is principally mining.  Three key things are contributing to the continuing strength of our financial results—the diversity of our businesses, substantial success in operational improvements through the execution of our strategy and the strength of our cash flow and balance sheet," said Caterpillar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Doug Oberhelman.             

"Our Construction Industries and Energy & Transportation segments continue to improve.  Construction Industries had a good quarter with sales up 11 percent and operating profit up 83 percent from the second quarter of 2013.  The improvement in Construction Industries, along with sales stability and record profit from Energy & Transportation, has helped us improve profit despite the downturn in the mining industry," added Oberhelman. 

"We understand that we don't control the economy or the timing of a turnaround in mining.  That's why we've been so focused on executing our strategy and improving our operational performance, which have helped us control costs with year-to-date manufacturing costs and SG&A and R&D expenses improving nearly $500 million.  We've also improved our balance sheet and cash flow over the past few years, and that's contributed to our ability to return value to our stockholders—including today's announcement that we intend to repurchase $2.5 billion of Caterpillar stock in the third quarter," Oberhelman said.

2014 Outlook

The outlook for 2014 sales and revenues has been reasonably consistent with the preliminary outlook that was provided with the third quarter financial release in October of 2013.  With half of 2014 now complete, we have tightened the outlook range for the year.  The updated outlook for 2014 sales and revenues is a range of $54 to $56 billion.  The previous outlook for sales and revenues was $56 billion in a range of plus or minus 5 percent ($53.2 to $58.8 billion).  The range of expectations is tighter and the mid-point of the outlook is slightly lower.  Most of the change in the mid-point of the range is in Construction Industries and reflects weaker sales in China, the CIS and in the Africa/Middle East region.

Despite a slightly lower mid-point of the sales and revenues outlook the company is increasing its 2014 profit per share outlook.  To provide a better understanding of the company's expectations for 2014 profit, the profit outlook is being provided with and without anticipated restructuring costs.  The expectation for restructuring costs in 2014 is now about $400 million—the bottom end of the $400 to $500 million range that was previously expected.  With sales and revenues at $55 billion, the mid-point of the outlook range, the revised profit outlook for 2014 including restructuring costs of about $400 million is $5.75 per share, an improvement from the previous outlook of $5.55 per share.  Excluding restructuring costs, the profit outlook is $6.20 per share, an increase from the previous outlook of $6.10 per share.

"After a sizable drop in sales and revenues in 2013, our ongoing forecasting process has, since the third quarter of last year, pegged 2014 as a roughly ­flat year for sales.  That's still the case.  There have been plusses and minuses, but they've both been relatively muted in the context of our total sales and revenues.  While we'd certainly like to see improvement in economies around the world, and more specifically, the mining industry, the stability that we've seen this year has helped.  Even though sales and revenues are relatively flat compared to last year, we've improved the bottom line with better execution and continued focus on costs," Oberhelman said. 

Stock Repurchase

Caterpillar is announcing its intention to repurchase approximately $2.5 billion of Caterpillar common stock during the third quarter of 2014.  This repurchase is part of the $10 billion stock repurchase authorization previously approved by the Board of Directors in the first quarter of 2014.  The $2.5 billion repurchase expected in the third quarter is in addition to the approximately $1.7 billion that was repurchased by the company in the first quarter of 2014. 

"With a strong balance sheet, positive cash flow, sufficient cash on hand and more modest needs for capital expenditures, it makes sense to continue to reward stockholders.  In 2013, we repurchased $2 billion of stock and raised the dividend by 15 percent.  In June of 2014, we increased the dividend an additional 17 percent, and by the end of the third quarter, we expect to have repurchased about $4.2 billion of stock in 2014.  Rewarding stockholders is an important goal and our actions demonstrate our commitment," Oberhelman said.

  • Second-quarter sales and revenues were $14.150 billion, compared with $14.621 billion in the second quarter of 2013.  Decreases in Resource Industries' sales were partially offset by increases in Construction Industries' sales.  Energy & Transportation's sales and Financial Products' revenues were about flat.
  • Restructuring costs were $114 million in the second quarter of 2014 with an after-tax impact of $0.12 per share.
  • Profit per share was $1.57 in the second quarter of 2014 and excluding restructuring costs of $0.12 per share was $1.69 per share.  Profit in the second quarter of 2013 was $1.45 per share.
  • Machinery, Energy & Transportation (ME&T) operating cash flow was $2.064 billion in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $3.049 billion in the second quarter of 2013.
  • ME&T debt-to-capital ratio was 32.5 percent compared with 30.2 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2014. 
  • Caterpillar announced its intention to repurchase approximately $2.5 billion of Caterpillar common stock during the third quarter of 2014.  This repurchase is part of the $10 billion stock repurchase authorization previously approved by the Board of Directors in the first quarter of 2014.

2014 Outlook

  • Our outlook for sales and revenues is now a range of $54 to $56 billion.  The previous outlook expected sales and revenues of about $56 billion in a range of plus or minus 5 percent ($53.2 to $58.8 billion).
  • While our expectations for 2014 sales and revenues have not changed significantly, the 2 percent decline in the mid-point of our outlook is primarily related to expected lower sales of construction equipment in developing countries.
  • At the mid-point of the sales and revenues outlook range, our revised profit outlook for 2014, excluding restructuring costs, is $6.20 per share, an improvement of $0.10 per share from the previous outlook and including restructuring costs of $0.45 per share, our profit outlook for 2014 improved $0.20 per share to $5.75 per share.
  • The company expects ME&T capital expenditures for 2014 will be about $2 billion.

Sales and Revenues

Total sales and revenues were $14.150 billion in the second quarter of 2014, down $471 million or 3 percent from the second quarter of 2013.  When reviewing the change in sales and revenues, we focus on the following perspectives:

  • Reason for the change:  Sales volume decreased $610 million primarily due to lower volume in Resource Industries, partially offset by higher volume in Construction Industries.  The sales volume decrease was partially offset by favorable price realization.

The volume decrease was primarily the result of lower end-user demand for mining equipment in Resource Industries, as customers are continuing to reduce their capital expenditures.  This decrease was partially offset by the favorable impact of changes in dealer machine and engine inventories, as dealers reduced inventories about $500 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared to a decrease of more than $1 billion in the second quarter of 2013.  Aftermarket parts sales were about flat with the second quarter of 2013.

  • Sales by geographic region: Sales declines in Asia/Pacific and Latin America were partially offset by an increase in North America.  Asia/Pacific sales declined 14 percent as a result of weak mining sales across the region, timing of large Energy & Transportation projects and a slowing construction equipment industry in China.  Sales decreased in Latin America 16 percent, primarily due to lower end-user demand for mining equipment.  In North America, sales increased 6 percent, primarily due to improving demand for construction equipment in the United States.  Sales into EAME were about flat as lower end-user demand was about offset by the absence of unfavorable changes in dealer inventory during the second quarter of 2013.  While EAME sales were about flat, the impact from strengthening economic conditions in Europe was about offset by sales declines in the CIS and Africa/Middle East.  The declines were a result of political unrest in the CIS and lower mining sales in Africa/Middle East.
  • Sales by segment: Sales decreases in Resource Industries were partially offset by increases in Construction Industries' sales.  Resource Industries' sales decreased 29 percent, primarily due to lower end-user demand for mining equipment.  Construction Industries' sales increased 11 percent, primarily due to the favorable impact of changes in dealer inventories and increases in dealer deliveries to end users.  Energy & Transportation's sales and Financial Products segment revenues were about flat.

Consolidated Operating Profit

Second Quarter 2014 vs. Second Quarter 2013

To access this chart, go to http://www.caterpillar.com/en/investors/quarterly-results.html and download the full version of the Caterpillar 2Q 2014 earnings release.

Operating profit for the second quarter of 2014 was $1.475 billion, down $82 million or 5 percent from the second quarter of 2013.  Restructuring costs in the second quarter of 2014 were $114 million compared with $28 million in the second quarter of 2013, an increase of $86 million.  The second quarter of 2014 restructuring costs were primarily related to a reduction in workforce at our Gosselies, Belgium, facility.  Excluding restructuring costs operating profit was about flat as lower sales volume and the absence of a $135 million gain related to a settlement with previous owners of Caterpillar (Zhengzhou) Ltd. were about offset by lower manufacturing costs and favorable price realization. 

Manufacturing costs decreased $110 million.  The improvement was primarily due to favorable changes in cost absorption as inventory decreased significantly in the second quarter of 2013 compared with a modest increase in the second quarter of 2014.  Material costs were also favorable.  These items were partially offset by higher period manufacturing costs and increased warranty expense.  The increase in period manufacturing costs was primarily driven by higher incentive compensation expense.  SG&A and R&D expenses were about flat despite an increase in incentive compensation expense. 

Other Profit/Loss Items

  • Other income/expense was income of $65 million compared with expense of $84 million in the second quarter of 2013.  The change was primarily due to the favorable net impact from currency translation and hedging gains and losses.  The second quarter of 2014 included net gains related to currency translation and hedging compared to significant net losses in the second quarter of 2013. 

  • The provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2014 reflects an estimated annual tax rate of 29.5 percent compared with 29 percent for the second quarter of 2013.  The increase from the full-year 2013 rate of 28.5 percent is primarily due to the expiration of the U.S. research and development tax credit. 

Global Workforce

Caterpillar worldwide full-time employment was 115,292 at the end of the second quarter of 2014 compared with 122,402 at the end of the second quarter of 2013, a decrease of 7,110 full-time employees.  The flexible workforce increased by 370 for a total decrease in the global workforce of 6,740.  The decrease was primarily the result of restructuring programs.

1  Does not include inter-segment sales of $56 million and $91 million in the second quarter 2014 and 2013, respectively.





















































 

Construction Industries' sales were $5.407 billion in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $532 million, or 11 percent, from the second quarter of 2013.  The sales increase was primarily due to higher sales volume in North America.  Price realization was also favorable.  Sales of new equipment increased, and sales of aftermarket parts were about flat. 

  • The sales volume increase was primarily related to favorable changes in dealer inventories as dealers lowered their inventories more significantly in the second quarter of 2013 than in the second quarter of 2014.  Generally dealer inventories decline in the second quarter due to seasonal selling patterns.  Additionally, dealer deliveries to end users increased primarily due to higher demand in North America, partially offset by lower demand in Asia/Pacific.

Sales increased in North America and EAME and were about flat in Latin America and Asia/Pacific.

  • In North America, the sales increase was primarily due to higher dealer deliveries to end users resulting from an increase in construction-related spending in the United States.  Although still below the 2006 peak, construction-related sales are improving in the United States. 
  • In EAME, higher sales were primarily due to favorable changes in dealer inventories as dealers increased inventory in the second quarter of 2014 and decreased inventory in the second quarter of 2013.  
  • In Asia/Pacific, sales were about flat as lower deliveries to end users due to weaker economic conditions across the region were about offset by favorable changes in dealer inventories. 

Construction Industries' profit was $674 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $368 million in the second quarter of 2013.  The increase in profit was primarily due to higher sales volume, the favorable impact of currency, improved price realization and lower manufacturing costs. 

Manufacturing costs improved primarily due to lower material costs and favorable changes in cost absorption resulting from a significantly larger decrease in inventory during the second quarter of 2013 than in the second quarter of 2014.  These favorable impacts were partially offset by increased depreciation and incentive compensation expense. 

SG&A and R&D expenses were about flat despite the increase in sales volume and higher incentive compensation expense.

Resource Industries' sales were $2.241 billion in the second quarter of 2014, a decrease of $894 million, or 29 percent, from the second quarter of 2013.  Sales declined in all geographic regions primarily due to lower end-user demand partially offset by favorable changes in dealer inventories.  While dealers continued to reduce machine inventories worldwide during the second quarter of 2014, the reductions were much less significant than in the second quarter of 2013.  Although prices of most mined commodities remained above investment thresholds, customers in all geographic regions have reduced spending across the mining industry.  We believe that mining companies are increasing productivity at existing mines, rather than investing in expansions or new mine openings, which results in lower demand for our mining products.  New orders for mining equipment continued to be weak in the quarter.

Aftermarket part sales declined in Asia/Pacific and EAME and were about flat in Latin America and North America.  We believe some companies are continuing to delay maintenance and rebuild activities. 

Resource Industries' profit was $133 million in the second quarter of 2014 compared with $524 million in the second quarter of 2013.  The decrease was primarily the result of lower sales volume and the absence of a $135 million gain related to the settlement with previous owners of Caterpillar (Zhengzhou) Ltd., partially offset by an improvement in manufacturing costs. 

The improvement in manufacturing costs was primarily driven by favorable changes in cost absorption as inventory remained about flat during the second quarter of 2014, compared with a decrease in inventory during the second quarter of 2013.  Material costs were also favorable.  These improvements were partially offset by increased warranty expense.

SG&A and R&D expenses were about flat as cost cutting measures offset higher incentive compensation expense.

Energy & Transportation's sales were $5.175 billion in the second quarter of 2014, about flat with the second quarter of 2013.  Sales decreased slightly into power generation applications and were about flat for transportation, industrial and oil and gas applications.  While overall sales were about flat, sales of aftermarket parts increased. 

  • Power Generation – Sales decreased in North America and EAME and were about flat in Latin America and Asia/Pacific.  The decline in North America and EAME was due to lower end-user demand resulting primarily from the timing of large projects. 
  • Oil and Gas – Sales were about flat, as increases in North America and EAME were about offset by decreases in Asia/Pacific and Latin America.  In North America, higher sales were primarily the result of increased demand for gas compression and well servicing.  The increase in sales in EAME, as well as the declines in Asia/Pacific and Latin America, were primarily due to the timing of large turbine projects.
  • Industrial and Transportation – Sales for both applications were about flat across all geographic regions.

Energy & Transportation's profit was $1.009 billion in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $953 million in the second quarter of 2013.  The increase was primarily due to favorable price realization. 

Manufacturing costs were about flat as the favorable impact of cost absorption and lower material costs were about offset by increased period manufacturing costs, including higher incentive compensation expense.  The favorable impact of cost absorption resulted from an increase in inventory in the second quarter of 2014 compared to a decrease in inventory in the second quarter of 2013. 

SG&A and R&D expenses were about flat as reduced program spending offset higher incentive compensation expense.

Financial Products' revenues were $834 million, an increase of $28 million, or 3 percent, from the second quarter of 2013.  The increase was primarily due to the favorable impact from higher average earning assets in North America, EAME and Latin America, partially offset by a decrease in Asia/Pacific.

Financial Products' profit was $244 million in the second quarter of 2014, compared with $233 million in the second quarter of 2013.  The increase was primarily due to the absence of a $23 million currency loss in the second quarter of 2013 and a $17 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets.  These increases were partially offset by the absence of $23 million in favorable reserve adjustments in the second quarter of 2013 at Insurance Services. 

At the end of the second quarter of 2014, past dues at Cat Financial were 2.63 percent compared with 2.44 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2014, 2.37 percent at the end of 2013 and 2.64 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2013.  The increase in past dues from the first quarter of 2014 and the end of 2013 reflects higher past dues in Cat Financial's Latin American, Asia/Pacific, and European portfolios.  Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $19 million for the second quarter of 2014, compared with $27 million for the second quarter of 2013.

As of June 30, 2014, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $387 million, or 1.27 percent of net finance receivables, compared with $373 million or 1.25 percent of net finance receivables as of March 31, 2014 and $378 million or 1.30 percent of net finance receivables at year-end 2013.  The allowance for credit losses as of June 30, 2013, was $422 million or 1.46 percent of net finance receivables.

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $734 million in the second quarter of 2014, an increase of $76 million from the second quarter of 2013.  Corporate items and eliminations include: corporate-level expenses; restructuring costs; timing differences, as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis; retirement benefit costs other than service cost and currency differences for ME&T, as segment profit is reported using annual fixed exchange rates and inter-segment eliminations. 

The increase in expense from the second quarter of 2013 was primarily due to restructuring costs and the unfavorable impact of currency.  Segment profit for 2014 is based on fixed exchange rates set at the beginning of 2014, while segment profit for 2013 is based on fixed exchange rates set at the beginning of 2013.  The difference in actual exchange rates compared with fixed exchange rates is included in corporate items and eliminations and is not reflected in segment profit.  These unfavorable items were partially offset by other methodology differences and decreased retirement benefit costs.

2014 Outlook

Economic Outlook

We anticipate global economic growth in 2014 of about 2.5 percent, a modest improvement from 2013 levels.  Most developed countries continue to pursue pro-growth policies, which should continue to benefit those economies.  However, many developing countries have raised interest rates and in many of those countries rates are near the peak reached in 2011.  At that time, higher rates slowed those economies, and similar problems are occurring now.  Our economic outlook assumes that developed economies will continue to improve while developing economies will remain challenged.

We expect global economic growth in 2014 to be sufficient to increase demand for mined commodities and energy, keeping commodity prices at levels that support production.  Mining company profits improved in 2013, and increased production and cost cutting should support further improvement.  While most commodity prices should remain high enough to make investments attractive, we expect mining companies will continue to be cautious about resuming equipment investments, and we expect mining capital expenditures in 2014 to be below 2013.

Developed Countries

  • Economic policies in most developed countries should continue to support growth in 2014.  Average short-term interest rates are at a record low and major central banks are expected to keep rates low for an extended period.  We expect inflation will remain subdued, allowing central banks to focus less on austerity measures and more on promoting growth and employment.  We expect economic growth in developed countries to exceed 1.5 percent in 2014.  While this is lower than our previous outlook, due in part to weak first-quarter U.S. GDP growth, the underlying economic trends are improving and most sectors important to our business are performing well.

Developing Countries

  • High interest rates, as well as political and labor issues, are affecting growth in many developing countries.  Inflation eased throughout the recovery but central banks started increasing interest rates in mid-2013, we believe either to defend their currencies or address inflation concerns.  We believe interest rates are near a peak and will remain at current levels in 2014, which could further limit growth.  We expect economic growth in developing countries will fall below 4.5 percent this year.

Risks

  • Most economies are growing slower than before the financial crisis and the first two years of recovery.  We believe this reflects decisions to remove policy stimulus before these economies had fully recovered.  Developing countries recently tightened policies prematurely and signs of improving growth in developed countries may prompt similar premature policy tightening.  These policy shifts may contribute to a more sluggish recovery and undermine business confidence.
  • China's actions to slow credit growth contributed to a sharp decline in building construction and some slowing of the overall economy in 2014.  Policies have eased recently but we expect building construction will remain weak the rest of the year.
  • Political conflicts and social unrest disrupted economic activity in several developing regions, in particular CIS, Africa and the Middle East.  Further disruption is a risk to our economic outlook and could lower growth more than we are currently projecting.

Sales and Revenues Outlook

Our outlook for 2014 sales and revenues has remained relatively consistent with our preliminary outlook for 2014 that we provided with our third-quarter 2013 financial release in October of 2013.  However, with half of 2014 complete, we are tightening the range around the outlook for 2014 sales and revenues.  

Our outlook for sales and revenues is now a range of $54 to $56 billion.  The previous outlook expected sales and revenues of about $56 billion in a range of plus or minus 5 percent ($53.2 billion to $58.8 billion).  

While our expectations for 2014 sales and revenues have not changed significantly, the 2 percent decline in the mid-point of our outlook is primarily related to our expectation of lower sales of construction equipment in developing countries such as China, the CIS and the Africa/Middle East region.  The construction industry in China has softened since the end of the first quarter and the political problems in the CIS and Africa/Middle East are concerning.

Profit Outlook

In 2013, we took substantial actions to reduce costs and are taking additional actions in 2014.  The restructuring actions expected for 2014 are widespread across the company.  To provide a better understanding of our profit expectations for 2014, we are providing our outlook with and without restructuring costs.

Despite a slightly lower mid-point of the sales and revenues outlook the company is increasing its 2014 profit per share outlook.  The expectation for restructuring costs in 2014 is now about $400 million—the bottom end of the $400 to $500 million range that was previously expected.  With sales and revenues at $55 billion, the mid-point of the outlook range, the revised profit outlook for 2014, including restructuring costs of about $400 million is $5.75 per share, an improvement from the previous outlook of $5.55 per share.  Excluding restructuring costs, the profit outlook is $6.20 per share, an increase from the previous outlook of $6.10 per share.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS



Q1:

Can you discuss changes in dealer inventories in the second quarter?



A:

Dealer machine and engine inventories decreased in the second quarter of 2014 by about $500 million.  This compares with a decrease of more than $1 billion in the second quarter of 2013.  We expect that dealers will continue to decrease inventory in the third and fourth quarters of 2014.  We believe that dealer inventory levels for construction equipment are reasonably aligned to expected end-user demand.  For the full year, we expect the reduction to be more than we had previously expected, primarily related to Resource Industries' products as dealers are satisfying more customer demand from inventory.  Customer demand for mining equipment has not improved, and as a result, dealers need less inventory and are making reductions to align inventory with demand. 



Q2:

Can you comment on expense related to your short-term incentive compensation plans?



A:

Short-term incentive compensation expense is directly related to financial and operational performance measured against targets set annually.  The second-quarter 2014 expense was about $360 million, and we expect the full year will be about $1.2 billion.  Short-term incentive compensation in the second quarter of 2013 was about $125 million, and full-year 2013 was about $545 million.



Q3:

Can you comment on the change in your order backlog during the second quarter of 2014?



A:

At the end of the second quarter, the backlog was $19.3 billion and about flat with the end of the first quarter of 2014.  Decreases in Resource Industries and Construction Industries were offset by increases in Energy & Transportation.  The decline in Resource Industries reflects continuing weakness in mining and the decline in Construction Industries is impacted by seasonality and weakness in developing markets.



Q4:

Can you comment on your balance sheet and ME&T operating cash flow in the second quarter of 2014?



A:

ME&T operating cash flow for the second quarter of 2014 was $2.064 billion compared with $3.049 billion in the second quarter of 2013.  The decrease was primarily due to the absence of a significant decline in inventory that occurred during the second quarter of 2013.




Our top cash deployment priority is to maintain a strong financial position to support our credit rating.  ME&T debt-to-capital ratio was 32.5 percent, up from 30.2 percent at the end of the first quarter.  The increase was mostly due to a net increase in debt of $1.25 billion in the second quarter.  Our cash and liquidity positions remain strong with an enterprise cash balance of $7.927 billion at June 30, 2014.




Our priorities for the uses of cash are providing capital to support growth, appropriately funding employee benefit plans, paying dividends and repurchasing common stock.  During the second quarter, capital expenditures totaled $0.3 billion, funding for defined benefit pension plans was $0.1 billion, and the quarterly dividend payment was $0.4 billion.  We further demonstrated our commitment to deliver superior returns to stockholders through the business cycles with the announcement to increase the quarterly cash dividend by 17 percent to $0.70 per share of common stock.  Through dividends and the repurchase of common stock, we have returned a total of about $2.5 billion to stockholders in the first half of 2014.



Q5:

In the June Retail Statistics published yesterday, July 23, 2014, the total retail sales for Energy & Transportation units dropped to "down 10 percent" from the same three-month period ending June 2013.  Are these numbers representative of your 2014 outlook?



A:

The large project nature of many of the Energy & Transportation end markets, including Oil & Gas, Power Generation and Transportation, can cause short-term volatility in the three-month Retail Statistics that may not be indicative of our full-year sales and revenues outlook.  We base our full-year outlook on a number of factors, including recent order rates, quotation activity, our current backlog, trends in retail statistics and discussions with our dealers and customers. 



Q6:

Based on what you are currently seeing, can you provide an update on prospects for improvement in mining?



A:

We have not yet seen signs that an upturn in mining is going to occur this year.  Parts sales, while lower than the second quarter of 2013, have improved modestly from the first quarter of 2014.  The mining industry remains weak and quoting activity and order rates remain at low levels.  While we have not seen evidence of an upturn in the industry, because of the low level of sales of new equipment, we believe the likelihood of significant decline from current levels is limited.  



Q7:

Over the last three quarters, Construction Industries margins have shown strong improvement.  Should we expect this favorable result to continue through the rest of 2014?



A:

Construction Industries' performance has improved over the past few quarters.  However, we expect sales in the second half to be lower than in the first half of the year in developing markets.  As a result of lower sales and production in the second half we are expecting margins to be lower than in the first half of 2014.



Q8:

Can you provide an update on China, your expectations about the construction equipment industry and how Caterpillar is performing?



A:

In the first half of 2014, the overall China construction machinery market was approximately five percent lower than the same period in 2013 in part due to the decline of China's property market.  Despite the lower industry, our dealer deliveries to end users improved.  We believe our success in China is a result of the continuing build out of our Caterpillar business model.  Over the past few months the construction equipment industry in China has seen more significant declines.  We expect it to continue to be weaker in the second half, and for the full year to be down about 10 percent.  The construction industry in China is one of the largest and most important in the world.  We are pleased with the progress we are making in China and expect to build on the solid foundation we have in place.



Q9:

Why did you lower your expectations for 2014 restructuring costs from $400 to $500 million to about $400 million?



A:

We lowered our estimate because we expect some of the costs related to 2014 restructuring activities will now be incurred in 2015.  This reduction is primarily for programs in Europe and is due to the timing of when the expenses will be recognized.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

The following definition is provided for "non-GAAP financial measures" in connection with Regulation G issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.  This non-GAAP financial measure has no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore is unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures for other companies.  Management does not intend this item to be considered in isolation or substituted for the related GAAP measure.

Profit Per Share Excluding Restructuring Costs

We anticipate incurring significant restructuring costs in 2014.  We believe it is important to separately quantify the profit-per-share impact of restructuring costs in order for our second-quarter 2014 results and the 2014 outlook to be meaningful to our readers.  We have also provided second quarter of 2013 profit per share excluding restructuring costs comparable to the 2014 presentation.  Reconciliation of profit per share excluding restructuring costs to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, profit per share is as follows:
