SUMMARY OF RESULTS

On July 17, 2003, Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT) reported second-quarter 2003 sales and revenues of $5.93 billion and profit of $399 million or $1.15 per share. Through the first half of the year, sales and revenues were $10.75 billion and profit was $528 million or $1.52 per share.

Sales and revenues were a record $5.93 billion, up 12 percent compared to $5.29 billion in the second quarter 2002. The increase was primarily due to a favorable currency impact of $221 million (due mainly to the stronger euro and Australian dollar), higher machinery and engine volume of $213 million and improved revenue yield of $107 million. In addition, Financial Products' revenues for the second quarter increased $55 million or about 15 percent compared to the second quarter 2002.

"Even though many economic indicators have not improved from a year ago, our sales this quarter are encouraging although sales mix remains challenging," said Chairman and CEO Glen Barton. "We are seeing signs that a replacement cycle has begun in our machinery business after a long waiting period. Certainly we saw evidence of this trend in sales to our dealers' rental operations, which jumped this quarter from a year ago, as dealers updated their rental fleets."

Profit of $399 million or $1.15 per share increased 99 percent compared to $200 million or 58 cents per share in the second quarter 2002 due to $107 million improved revenue yield, $138 million lower core operating costs and $44 million favorable net currency impact. Partially offsetting these favorable items was $69 million of higher retiree pension, healthcare and related benefit costs and the $22 million net unfavorable impact of changes in emissions standards. We also experienced unfavorable sales mix, which more than offset the favorable profit impact of additional machinery and engine sales volume, resulting in a net unfavorable profit impact of $10 million.

"These strong results demonstrate the real and sustainable benefits of 6 Sigma projects company-wide," said Barton. "We are redesigning processes with 6 Sigma and driving efficiencies throughout the company. Overall, the 6 Sigma benefits are accruing faster than we expected."

"Political and economic uncertainty continued in the second quarter, but we made significant progress by focusing on areas we could control. We held the gains on revenue yield, controlled costs and continued to produce quality products our customers value," Barton concluded.

OUTLOOK

"We now expect 2003 sales and revenues to be up about 10 percent. Full-year profit per share is expected to be in the range of $2.75 to $2.90," Barton said.
