2016 2015 Change Change
Operating Profit $168 $227 ($59) (26) %
Financial Products' revenues were $743 million in the first quarter of 2016, a
decrease of $52 million, or 7 percent, from the first quarter of 2015. The
decline was primarily due to lower average earning assets and lower average
financing rates. Average earning assets were down in Asia/Pacific, Latin
America and EAME, partially offset by higher average earning assets in North
America. Average financing rates decreased across all regions.
Financial Products' profit was $168 million in the first quarter of 2016,
compared with $227 million in the first quarter of 2015. The decrease was
primarily due to a $17 million decrease in net yield on average earning assets
reflecting geographic mix changes and currency impacts, an $11 million increase
in the provision for credit losses at Cat Financial and a $10 million
unfavorable impact from lower average earning assets.
At the end of the first quarter of 2016, past dues at Cat Financial were 2.78
percent, compared with 3.08 percent at the end of the first quarter of 2015 and
2.14 percent at the end of 2015. There is some seasonality in past due
percentages and it is common to see an increase in the first quarter.
Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $31 million for the first quarter of 2016,
compared with $12 million for the first quarter of 2015. The increase in
write-offs, net of recoveries, was primarily driven by Caterpillar Power
Finance and North American portfolios.
As of March 31, 2016, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $340
million, or 1.21 percent of net finance receivables, compared with $392
million, or 1.38 percent of net finance receivables at March 31, 2015. The
allowance for credit losses at year-end 2015 was $338 million, or 1.22 percent
of net finance receivables.
Corporate Items and Eliminations
Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $358 million in the first
quarter of 2016, an increase of $42 million from the first quarter of 2015.
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; currency differences for ME&T, as segment profit is reported using annual
fixed exchange rates; cost of sales methodology differences as segments use a
current cost methodology; and inter-segment eliminations.
The increase in expense from the first quarter of 2015 was primarily due to a
$126 million increase in restructuring costs, partially offset by lower
stock-based compensation expense and methodology differences.
2016 OUTLOOK
We have seen recent increases in commodity prices, some signs of improvement in
construction equipment in China and better order activity than we expected at
bauma, the world's leading trade fair for many of the industries we serve.
While we are seeing a few positive signals, other parts of our business remain
challenged. As a result, we have lowered the midpoint of the outlook for 2016
sales and revenues about 2 percent.
Sales and revenues in 2016 are expected to be in a range of $40 to $42 billion
with a midpoint of $41 billion. The previous outlook was a range of $40 to $44
billion with a midpoint of $42 billion. The decline in the midpoint of the
sales and revenues outlook range is a result of several factors that, while not
individually large in the context of the outlook, collectively add up to about
$1 billion. Those factors include lower transportation sales (rail, marine and
the ending of production of on-highway vocational trucks), lower mining sales
and weaker price realization than previously expected.
The profit outlook at the midpoint of the sales and revenues range is now $3.00
per share, or $3.70 per share excluding restructuring costs. The previous
profit outlook was $3.50 per share, or $4.00 per share excluding restructuring
costs at the midpoint of the previous sales and revenues outlook. The expected
decline in sales and revenues and an increase in expected restructuring costs
are the primary reasons for the decline in the profit outlook.
Restructuring costs are now expected to be about $550 million in 2016, up $150
million from the previous outlook. The decision to end production of
on-highway vocational trucks is the primary reason for the increase in
restructuring costs.
2016 REPORTING CHANGES
We made several reporting changes effective January 1, 2016. Our 2015
financial information has been recast to be consistent with the 2016
presentation.
Pension and OPEB Costs
Effective January 1, 2016, we changed our accounting principle for recognizing
actuarial gains and losses and expected returns on assets for our pension and
OPEB plans. Gains and losses historically recognized as a component of equity
and amortized to earnings in future periods will be recognized in earnings in
the period in which they occur. In addition, we changed our policy for
recognizing expected returns on plan assets from a market-related value method
(based on a three-year smoothing of asset returns) to a fair value method.
Under the new principle, we will immediately recognize actuarial gains and
losses as a mark-to-market gain or loss through earnings upon the annual
remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering
events warrant remeasurement.
The change in accounting principle has no impact on future pension or OPEB
funding or benefits paid to plan participants.
The impact of the change in accounting principle on our 2015 Results of
Operations is presented on page 15. Actuarial losses (mark-to-market
adjustments) for 2015 are shown separately from the other impacts of the
change, which are primarily reversals of actuarial losses that had been
amortized to earnings under the prior accounting principle.
Segment Reporting
Effective January 1, 2016, we made the following changes that impacted our
segment reporting. These changes were made to reflect changes in
organizational accountabilities and refinements to our internal reporting.
* Responsibility for remanufacturing of Cat engines and components and
responsibility for on-highway vocational trucks moved from the All Other
segments to Energy & Transportation.
* Responsibility for forestry and paving products moved from All Other
segments to Construction Industries.
* Responsibility for industrial and waste products moved from All Other
segments to Resource Industries.
* Internal charges for component manufacturing and logistics services
provided by All Other segments to Construction Industries, Resource
Industries and Energy & Transportation in excess of cost have been adjusted
to approximate actual cost, resulting in a reduction in profit in the All
Other segments and corresponding increases in profit in the other three
segments.
* Costs that previously had been included in ME&T Corporate Items, primarily
for company-wide strategies such as information technology and
manufacturing process transformation, have been included in the ME&T
segments that benefit from the costs.
The impacts of both the pension and OPEB and segment reporting changes on our
2015 quarterly operating profit are presented on page 16. The pension and OPEB
change is reported in ME&T Corporate Items and had no impact on segment
results.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Q1: Your 2015 profit changed from what you reported last year. Can you please
explain the change?
A: Effective January 1, 2016, we changed how we account for pension and OPEB
costs. Under the new accounting principle, we will recognize actuarial
gains and losses as a mark-to-market gain or loss when they occur rather
than amortizing them to earnings over time. The presentation of 2015
results has been recast to be consistent with the new method. The change
resulted in an increase to 2015 pre-tax profit of $584 million or $0.68 per
share. This is an accounting principle change only and has no impact on
future pension or OPEB funding or benefits paid to plan participants.
Below is the impact on 2015 profit per share.

Restructuring Costs and MTM
Q2: Can you update us on the progress of the restructuring actions announced on
September 24, 2015?
A: Since September 30, 2015, our global workforce is down approximately 8,600,
which is a combination of restructuring actions and production
volume-related actions. Restructuring has resulted in the elimination of
approximately 5,300 positions since the September 24 announcement through
the first quarter of 2016. We are delivering significant cost reduction as
a result of these actions. We continue to contemplate facility
consolidations and closures in order to right size our capacity needs.
Since the September 24 announcement, we've announced the closure or
consolidation of about 15 facilities.
Q3: What caused the price deterioration in the first quarter, especially in
Construction Industries? What do you expect for the balance of the year?
A: We continue to see competitive pressure that started in the last half of
2015 driven by excess industry capacity, unfavorable currency pressure and
an overall weak economic environment. We expect the current competitive
pressure to continue for the remainder of the year, although it is expected
most of the year-over-year weakness will occur in the first half of 2016,
as price realization was more negative in the second half of 2015 compared
to the first half.
Q4: Oil prices have improved from the beginning of 2016. How does this affect
your thinking about shipments of reciprocating engines and turbines to this
important end market for 2016?
A: While oil prices have improved since the beginning of 2016, it is not clear
at this time that the current price level is either sustainable or
sufficient to drive increased demand for equipment. We monitor a number of
factors in addition to oil prices that shape our outlook, including recent
order rates, quotation activity, our current backlog, trends in retail
statistics and discussions with our customers. Based on all of these
factors, we do not see the current oil price driving a turnaround in demand
for our products in 2016.
Q5: Can you discuss changes in dealer inventories in the first quarter of 2016?
A: Dealers generally increase inventories in the first quarter in preparation
for the spring selling season. Dealer machine and engine inventories
increased about $300 million in the first quarter of 2016, compared with an
increase of about $900 million in the first quarter of 2015.
Q6: Can you comment on your order backlog by segment?
A: At the end of the first quarter of 2016, the order backlog was $13.1
billion, about the same in total and by segment as the end of 2015.
Compared to the first quarter of 2015, the order backlog declined about
$3.5 billion with decreases in all segments.
Q7: Can you comment on expense related to your 2016 short-term incentive
compensation plans?
A: Short-term incentive compensation expense is directly related to financial
and operational performance, measured against targets set annually.
First-quarter 2016 expense was about $120 million. First-quarter 2015
expense was about $215 million.
For 2016, our outlook includes short-term incentive compensation expense of
about $480 million.
Q8: Can you give us an update on how Cat Financial is performing?
A: Cat Financial's portfolio continues to perform well overall despite ongoing
weakness in many key end markets. The first quarter of 2016 past dues were
2.78 percent, compared with 3.08 percent in the first quarter of 2015, with
current past dues remaining lower than historical averages for the first
quarter. Write-offs in the first quarter of 2016 were $31 million, or 0.47
percent of the average retail portfolio. Although an increase from $12
million in the first quarter of 2015, write-offs were only slightly above
historical averages for the first quarter. We believe customer risk
exposure is well managed, with broad distribution of portfolio exposure
across a global customer base. Cat Financial continues to work closely
with its customers to provide financing support for new Caterpillar product
purchases and to actively monitor global portfolio health.
Q9: Can you comment on your balance sheet and cash priorities?
A: The ME&T debt-to-capital ratio was 37.7 percent, improved from 39.0 percent
at the end of 2015. Our cash and liquidity positions remain strong with an
enterprise cash balance of $5.886 billion as of March 31, 2016. ME&T
operating cash flow for the first quarter of 2016 was $218 million compared
with $1.042 billion in the first quarter of 2015. The decline was
primarily due to lower profit.
While our long-term priorities for cash deployment are unchanged, we are
very focused on the continuing strength of our balance sheet to maintain
our credit rating and the dividend.

represents the net operating profit impact of changes in the relative
weighting of Machinery, Energy & Transportation sales with respect to total
sales.
20. Variable Manufacturing Costs - Represents volume-adjusted costs excluding
the impact of currency. Variable manufacturing costs are defined as having
a direct relationship with the volume of production. This includes
material costs, direct labor and other costs that vary directly with
production volume such as freight, power to operate machines and supplies
that are consumed in the manufacturing process.
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.
The non-GAAP financial measures we use have no standardized meaning prescribed
by U.S. GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of
similar measures for other companies. Management does not intend these items
to be considered in isolation or substituted for the related GAAP
measure.
Profit Per Share Excluding Restructuring Costs and Mark-to-Market Losses
We incurred significant restructuring costs in 2015 and expect to incur
additional restructuring costs in 2016. We believe it is important to
separately quantify the profit per share impact of restructuring costs in order
for our 2016 results and the 2016 outlook to be meaningful to our readers. We
have also provided 2015 profit per share excluding restructuring costs
comparable to the 2016 presentation. In addition, we believe it is important
to separately quantify the per share impact of the pension and OPEB
mark-to-market losses resulting from plan remeasurements for our 2015 results
to be meaningful. We have provided recast 2015 results comparable to the 2016
presentation. Reconciliations of profit per share excluding restructuring
costs and mark-to-market losses (2015 only) to the most directly comparable
GAAP measure, diluted profit per share, are as follows:

Machinery, Energy & Transportation
Caterpillar defines Machinery, Energy & Transportation as it is presented in
the supplemental data as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries with Financial
Products accounted for on the equity basis. Machinery, Energy & Transportation
information relates to the design, manufacture and marketing of our products.
Financial Products' information relates to the financing to customers and
dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment. The
nature of these businesses is different, especially with regard to the
financial position and cash flow items. Caterpillar management utilizes this
presentation internally to highlight these differences. We also believe this
presentation will assist readers in understanding our business. Pages 22-28
