Cummins Inc. is a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes, and services diesel, natural gas, electric, and hybrid powertrains, as well as related components. The company sells its products to original equipment manufacturers, distributors, dealers, and other customers worldwide, with a service network spanning approximately 190 countries and territories. Cummins competes on the basis of performance, price, total cost of ownership, fuel economy, emissions compliance, speed of delivery, quality and customer support.
Consolidated net sales increased by 21% year-over-year, reaching $34.1 billion, primarily due to the Meritor acquisition and higher demand in most operating segments and geographic regions. However, this was partially offset by a decrease in Russian sales due to the suspension of operations.
Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. decreased significantly to $735 million, or $5.15 per diluted share, compared to $2.2 billion in the prior year, primarily due to a $2.036 billion charge related to the Agreement in Principle with the EPA, CARB, DOJ and CA AG.
Operating cash flow increased to $4.0 billion, compared to $2.0 billion in the prior year, primarily due to lower working capital requirements, partially offset by lower net income. This indicates strong cash generation despite the net income decrease.
