PART I

Item 1. Business.

Overview

        Cummins Inc. is a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel and natural gas engines, electric power generation systems and engine-related products, including filtration and emissions solutions, fuel systems, controls and air handling systems. We were founded in 1919 as one of the first manufacturers of diesel engines and are headquartered in Columbus, Indiana. 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 DaimlerChrysler, Volvo AB, PACCAR Inc., Navistar International Corporation, CNH Global N.V., Scania AB and General Electric Company.

        Our financial performance depends, in large part, on varying conditions in the markets we serve, particularly the automotive, construction and general industrial markets. Demand in these markets tends to fluctuate in response to overall economic conditions and is particularly sensitive to changes in interest rate levels and fuel costs. OEM inventory levels, production schedules and work stoppages also impact our sales. Economic downturns in the markets we serve generally result in a sales reduction, which affect our profits and cash flow.

        Since 2000, the markets we serve in North America have experienced a downturn, primarily markets for heavy-duty trucks, medium-duty trucks, construction equipment and a number of consumer-driven markets, such as those for light-duty trucks. These conditions had a negative impact on the performance of our Engine Business. In addition, weak conditions in the markets served by our Power Generation Business have resulted in reduced demand and high inventory levels, which have negatively affected our performance in this segment. During the fourth quarter of 2000, the first quarter of 2001 and the second quarters of 2001 and 2002 we recorded restructuring charges as a result of the downturn in the North American heavy-duty truck market and several other end-markets. These actions were necessary in order to achieve lower production costs and improve operating efficiencies under difficult economic conditions. The charges related to the programs, included staffing reorganizations and reductions in our business segments, asset impairment write-downs for manufacturing equipment and facility closure and consolidation costs. As of December 31, 2002 all activities associated with the 2000 and 2001 restructuring actions were completed.

        In the fourth quarter 2002, we announced plans to consolidate our heavy-duty engine assembly and test operations at our Jamestown, New York engine plant. Approximately 200 positions in the heavy-duty business were eliminated as a result of the consolidation, which was completed by the end of the first quarter 2003.

Competitive Strengths

        We believe the following competitive strengths are instrumental to our success:

•

Leading Brands. Our product portfolio includes products marketed under the following brands, each of which holds a leading position in its respective market:



•

•

Customers and Partners. To maintain technology leadership and a global presence in a cost-effective manner, we have established strategic alliances with a number of our leading customers. These partnerships provide us with a knowledge and understanding of our customers' technology and business needs, and enable us to develop products and services, which better meet their requirements at lower costs. For example, we have both customer and supplier arrangements with Komatsu, Ltd., including multiple manufacturing joint ventures and a product development joint venture through which we have partnered in the development of several engines. We are also the exclusive supplier of engines for Komatsu mining equipment. In addition, we have been the exclusive diesel engine supplier to DaimlerChrysler for its Dodge Ram truck since 1988, and our exclusivity agreement extends through model year 2007. We have long-term agreements with Volvo, PACCAR and Navistar for the supply of heavy-duty truck engines. These agreements afford us long-term price stability and eliminate certain dealer and end-user discounts. We also have multiple international joint ventures to manufacture midrange engines, including partnerships with Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company, the leading truck manufacturer in India, and Dongfeng Automotive Corporation, the second largest truck manufacturer in China.



•

Global Presence. We have a strong global presence including a world class distribution system, manufacturing and engineering facilities around the world and a network of global supply sources. Our worldwide presence has enabled us to take advantage of growth opportunities in international markets, with our sales outside the US growing from 39 percent of total sales in 1999 to 45 percent of total sales in 2002. In the last 45 years, we have developed a distribution and service network that includes more than 500 company-owned and independent distributor locations and 4,700 independent dealers located throughout 131 countries and territories. We also have manufacturing operations and product engineering centers around the world, with facilities in the United Kingdom (UK), Brazil, Mexico, Canada, France, Australia, China, India, South Africa and Singapore. In addition, we have developed a global network of high-quality, low-cost supply sources to support our manufacturing base.



•

Leading Technology. We have an established reputation for delivering high-quality, technologically advanced products. We continuously work with our customers to develop new products that improve the performance of their vehicles, equipment or systems at competitive cost levels. We are a leader in developing technologies to reduce diesel engine emissions, a key concern of our customers and regulators around the world. We were the first company to develop engines that were certified to meet new emissions standards governing heavy-duty diesel engines. These standards went into effect in the U.S. on October 1, 2002. We also developed low-emission, high-performance natural gas engines as an alternative fuel option for the on-highway, industrial and power generation markets. Our technology leadership enables us to develop integrated product solutions for the power generation and filtration markets, allowing our customers to use a single high-performance, low-cost system as opposed to multiple components from different suppliers.

Business Strategy

        The three key elements of our business strategy are as follows:

•

Aggressively Pursue Cost Leadership. In many of our markets, product or system cost is a critical performance parameter for our customers. To achieve cost leadership, we will continue to

5

leverage our innovative technology, economies of scale, global presence and customer partnerships. Beginning in 2000, we launched several focused initiatives to dramatically reduce costs and lower our breakeven point:

•

Six Sigma. This is the cornerstone of our cost reduction effort. Since the program's inception in 2000, we have trained 1,300 "belts" who have delivered more than $400 million of savings and have substantially improved product and service quality.



•

Direct/Indirect Purchasing. Our cost reduction efforts in supply chain management have saved more than $315 million in the cost of purchased materials during the last four years.



•

Overhead Reduction. We reduced selling, administrative and research expenses by $78 million in 2001 compared to 2000, and an additional $6 million in 2002 compared to 2001.



•

Restructuring. Since January 1, 2000, we have closed six plants, consolidated multiple operations and reduced our global headcount by over 17 percent. These efforts resulted in savings of more than $80 million in 2002.

We will continue to pursue cost reduction opportunities through our Six Sigma initiatives, global sourcing, consolidation of operations and product design and quality improvement.

•

Expand into Related Markets. We will grow in related businesses where we can use our existing investments in products or technology, leading brand names or market presence to establish a competitive advantage. We will target related markets that will offer us higher rates of growth, attractive returns and more stable cash flows through product and end market diversity. For example, we are growing our International Distributor Business through expansion of our aftermarket parts and service business by capitalizing on our global customer base. Through our Emission Solutions business, we will leverage our filtration, exhaust and engine technologies to provide integrated solutions for our customers and meet increasingly stringent emissions requirements. Our Power Generation Business is focused on increasing sales of power electronics and controls, such as transfer switches and switchgear.



•

Maximize Return on Capital. Return on capital, specifically return on average net assets (ROANA), is our primary measure of financial performance. Each of our business segments has ROANA targets, and we allocate capital based on segment performance against those targets.

As a result of our intense focus on ROANA, we have been able to reduce capital spending while still funding key development programs, including the completion of a full range of emission-compliant engines. We have reduced our 2002 capital expenditure requirements over $100 million compared to capital expenditures in the previous three years. In addition, despite unprecedented weakness in most of our markets, we generated an operating profit in both 2002 and 2001.

One of our goals is to regain an investment grade credit rating from the rating agencies. To achieve this goal, we have put significant management focus on increasing earnings, improving cash flow and reducing financial leverage. To this end, we generated $193 million in cash flow from operations in 2002.

Our Business Segments

        We operate four complementary business segments that share technology, customers, strategic partners, brands and our distribution network to gain a competitive advantage in their respective markets. With our size and global presence, we provide world-class products, service and support to our

6

customers in a cost- effective manner. In each of our business segments, we compete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell similar products. Our products primarily compete on the basis of price, performance, fuel economy, speed of delivery, quality and customer support.

Engine Business

        Our Engine Business manufactures and markets a broad array of diesel and natural gas-powered engines under the Cummins brand name for the heavy and medium-duty truck, bus, recreational vehicle (RV), light-duty automotive, agricultural, construction, mining, marine, oil and gas, rail and governmental equipment markets. We offer a wide variety of engine products with displacement from 3.3 liters to 91 liters and horsepower ranging from 60 to 3,500. In addition, we provide a full range of new parts and service, as well as remanufactured parts and engines, through our extensive distribution network. Our Engine Business is our largest business segment, accounting for approximately 56 percent of total sales in 2002.

        The principal customers of our heavy and medium-duty truck engines include truck manufacturers, such as International Truck and Engine, Volvo Trucks North America, PACCAR and Freightliner, manufacturers of school, transit and shuttle buses and manufacturers of construction, agriculture and marine equipment. The principal customers of our light-duty automotive engines are DaimlerChrysler and manufacturers of RVs.

        In the markets served by our Engine Business, we compete with independent engine manufacturers as well as OEMs who manufacture engines for their own products. Our primary competitors in North America are Caterpillar, Inc., Detroit Diesel Corporation, Mack Trucks, Inc. and Navistar. Our primary competitors in international markets vary from country to country, with local manufacturers generally predominant in each geographic market. Other engine manufacturers in international markets include Mercedes Benz, Volvo, Renault Vehicules Industriels, Scania and Nissan Diesel Motor Co., Ltd.

        Our Engine Business organizes its engine, parts and service businesses around the following end-user focused groups:

Heavy-Duty Truck

        We manufacture a complete line of diesel engines that range from 310 horsepower to 565 horsepower serving the worldwide heavy-duty truck market. We offer the ISL, ISM, ISX and in Australia, the Signature 620 series engines, which we believe comprise the most modern product engine line in our industry. Most major heavy-duty truck manufacturers in North America offer our diesel engines as standard or optional power. In 2002, we held a 24 percent share of the engine market for North American heavy-duty trucks. We also have significant market share overseas, including Europe and Latin America, and are the market leader in Mexico, South Africa and Australia. Our largest customer for heavy-duty truck engines in 2002 was International Truck and Engine Corporation with sales to this customer representing 5 percent of our net sales in 2002.

        In order to reduce our cost structure, improve customer service and increase market share, we recently entered into long-term supply agreements with three key customers. In October 2000, we entered into a long-term agreement with Volvo Trucks North America, Inc. under which we act as its sole external engine supplier. In 2001, we entered into long-term supply agreements with PACCAR and International Truck and Engine covering our heavy-duty engine product line. These supply agreements provide long-term, stable pricing for engines and eliminate certain dealer and end-user discounts, in order to provide our customers with full responsibility for total vehicle cost and pricing. In addition, these agreements provide for joint work on engine/vehicle integration with a focus on reducing product proliferation. These efforts are expected to reduce product cost while creating enhanced value for

7

end-users through better product quality and performance. The joint sales and service efforts also will provide better customer support at a significantly reduced cost to the partners.

Medium-Duty Truck and Bus

        We manufacture a product line of diesel engines ranging from 185 horsepower to 315 horsepower serving medium-duty and inter-city delivery truck customers worldwide. We believe that our ISB and ISC series diesel engines comprise the most advanced product line in the industry. We entered the North American medium-duty truck market in 1990 and had a 13 percent share of the market for diesel powered medium-duty trucks in 2002. We also sell our ISB and ISC series engines and engine components outside North America to medium-duty truck manufacturers in Asia, Europe and South America. Freightliner LLC, a division of DaimlerChrysler, was our largest customer in the medium-duty truck market in 2002, representing 4 percent of our net sales.

        We also offer both diesel and alternative fuel engines for school buses, transit buses and shuttle buses. We offer the ISB, ISC, ISL and ISM diesel engines for the bus markets. We also offer our B and C series engines for natural gas applications, which are focused primarily on transit and school bus markets. The demand for alternative fuel products continues to grow both domestically and internationally. Cummins Westport Inc., a joint venture formed in 2001 with Westport Innovations, Inc., offers low emission, propane and natural gas engines that are currently used in municipal transportation markets in Los Angeles, Boston, Salt Lake City and Vancouver, BC.

Light-Duty Automotive

        We are the exclusive provider of diesel engines used by DaimlerChrysler in its Dodge Ram trucks. Our relationship with DaimlerChrysler extends over 13 years, and in 2002 we shipped approximately 99,900 engines for use in Dodge Ram trucks. DaimlerChrysler was our largest customer for midrange engines in this market. In 2002, we were selected as the exclusive diesel power provider for Dodge Ram truck models through the 2007 model year.

        We are the leading manufacturer of diesel engines for use in the Class A recreational vehicle market. We hold a 30 percent share of the overall class A motorhome market, representing a 70 percent share of the market for diesel-powered recreational vehicles. Sales of diesel engines to the recreational vehicle market have increased significantly during the last five years. This indicates strong growth in the use of diesel power for these applications, as opposed to gasoline.

        In 2002, our contract with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a light-duty automotive engine suitable for use in light pickup truck and sport utility vehicles was renewed. Prototype engines are currently undergoing test and development. We believe that we are well positioned to take advantage of the growing interest in diesel engines for use in these vehicles.

Medium and Heavy-Duty Industrial

        Our medium and heavy-duty engines power a wide variety of equipment in the construction, agricultural and marine markets throughout the world. Our major construction OEM customers are in North America, Europe, South Korea and Japan. These OEMs manufacture approximately one million pieces of equipment per year for a diverse set of applications and utilize engines from our complete product range. Agricultural OEM customers are primarily in North America, South America and Europe, serving end use markets that span the globe. In the marine markets, our joint venture, Cummins Mercruiser Diesel Marine is the market share leader in the North American recreational boat segment. Our engines are sold to both recreational and commercial boat builders, primarily in North America, Europe and Asia.

8

High-Horsepower Industrial

        We design, manufacture and market high-horsepower engines for mining, rail, government, oil and gas, power generation and marine applications. Our engine size ranges from 19 liters to 91 liters, representing 550 horsepower to 3,500 horsepower, and is the most modern high-horsepower product line in the industry.

        We offer a full product line for mining applications that compete in all segments from small underground mining equipment to 400-ton haul trucks. The launch of the QSK78 at MINExpo 2000 extends our mining products up to 3,500 horsepower, the largest in the mining industry. We occupy the number two position in this market. Our sales to the rail market are primarily in Europe and Asia, and we are a leader in the worldwide railcar market. With our new QSK60 and QSK78 engines, we will be able to move into a larger proportion of the locomotive and railcar markets outside North America and commercial marine markets worldwide. Government sales represent a small portion of the high-horsepower market and are primarily to defense contractors in North America and Europe. Our new high-horsepower engines allow us to offer our customers in the oil and gas business a full line of high-horsepower products.

Power Generation Business

        The Power Generation Business is our second largest business segment, representing 20 percent of our total sales in 2002. This business is one of the most integrated providers of power solutions in the world, designing and manufacturing most of the components that make up power generation systems, including loose engines, controls, alternators, transfer switches and switchgear. This business is a global provider of power generation systems and services for a diversified customer base needing self-generated or standby power. Standby power solutions are provided to customers that rely on uninterrupted sources of power and sophisticated backup power systems. Prime power customers include those in developing countries with less comprehensive electrical power infrastructures. We are also a key player in the distributed power generation market, in which generating capacity is moved closer to end-users rather than kept solely in large, centralized utility plants.

        Our power generation products are marketed under the Cummins, Onan and Newage brands, and include diesel and alternative fuel electrical generator sets for commercial and residential applications, such as office buildings, hospitals, municipalities and homes. We offer reciprocating engine based power generation systems worldwide with a power range of 2 kilowatts to 2 megawatts for either standby or prime power applications. Engines are offered with a choice of fuels, including diesel, natural gas or gasoline. Our Newage division is a leader in the alternator industry, supplying alternators up to 4 megawatts. Newage supplies its products internally as well as to other generator set assemblers.

        We also sell engines, alternators, control systems and switchgear to other generator set assemblers, and are the worldwide leader in auxiliary generator sets for RVs and diesel powered recreational marine applications. Our Power Rent business offers the rental of power equipment for both standby and prime power purposes. Our Power Generation Business also markets service contracts, whereby it sells power by the hour rather than the actual power generating equipment and provides a range of services, such as long-term maintenance contracts and turn-key power solutions.

        This business segment continuously explores emerging technologies, such as microturbines and fuel cells, and is leveraging our experience in building business partnerships to develop cost-effective and environmentally-sound power solutions.

        Our customer base for our power generation products is highly diversified, with customer groups varying based upon their power needs. General Electric is one of our largest customers of power generation products.

        This business competes on a global scale with a variety of engine manufacturers and generator set assemblers. Caterpillar remains our primary competitor as a result of its acquisition of MAK Americas Inc., Perkins Engines Inc. and FG Wilson Inc. DaimlerChrysler, through its acquisition of Detroit Diesel Corporation, and Volvo are other major engine manufacturers with a presence in the high-speed generation segment of the market. Newage competes globally with Emerson Electric Co., Marathon Electric and Meccalte, among others.

Filtration and Other Business

        Our Filtration and Other Business produces filters, silencers and intake and exhaust systems under the Fleetguard, Nelson, Kuss and Universal Silencer brand names and is the largest worldwide supplier of turbochargers for commercial applications through our Holset brand. This segment manufactures filtration and exhaust systems for on-and-off highway heavy-duty equipment and is a supplier of filtration products for industrial and passenger car applications, exhaust systems for small engine equipment and silencing systems for gas turbines. In addition, we operate an emission solutions business through which we develop systems to help our customers meet increasingly stringent emissions standards. In 2002, our Filtration and Other Business segment accounted for approximately 15 percent of our net sales.

        Fleetguard is a leading designer and manufacturer of filters and filtration systems for heavy-duty equipment. Its products are produced and sold in global markets, including Europe, North America, South America, India, China, Australia and the Far East. In a recent 2002 North America on-highway truck market survey published by a leading independent market research company, Fleetguard ranked as the top brand preference for diesel engine air, oil, fuel and coolant filtration products. Nelson Industries, Inc., designs and manufactures air filtration and exhaust systems for on-and-off highway applications ranging from heavy duty equipment to small engine driven consumer applications. Together, Fleetguard and Nelson provide advanced, integrated filtration systems, including air intake and exhaust filtration, emission and noise reduction, engine filtration and mobile hydraulic filtration systems. Our Filtration and Other Business also makes products for the automotive specialty filtration market and the industrial filtration market through our Kuss subsidiary, located in Findlay, Ohio, and Universal Silencer, located in Stoughton, Wisconsin. Our Filtration and Other Business' revenue is split between first fit OEM customers (approximately 40 percent) and replacement part business (approximately 60 percent).

        Holset designs, manufactures and markets turbochargers worldwide. Holset manufacturers turbochargers in five countries and has worldwide sales and distribution. Holset provides critical technology for engines to meet worldwide emissions standards, including variable geometry turbochargers, and is the market leader in turbochargers for heavy-duty equipment. Holset's joint venture with Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company assembled and shipped its first turbochargers in 1996. A joint venture with Wuxi Littleswan Co., Ltd. in China also began production in 1996. In 1999, Holset began full production in the UK of a variable geometry turbocharger designed for truck powertrains. In 2001, Holset completed consolidation of its U.S. manufacturing facilities into one site located in Charleston, South Carolina.

        Customers of our Filtration and Other Business segment generally include truck manufacturers and other OEMs that are also customers of our Engine Business, such as Deere, and other manufacturers that use our filtration products in their product platforms, such as Harley Davidson. Our customer base for replacement filtration parts is highly fragmented, and primarily consists of various end-users of filtration systems.

        Our Filtration and Other Business competes with other manufacturers of filtration systems and components and turbochargers. Our primary competitors in these markets include Donaldson

10

Company, Inc., Clarcor Inc., Mann+Hummel Group, Tokyo Roki Co., Ltd. and Honeywell International.

International Distributor Business

        In the fourth quarter of 2001, we realigned our reporting structure and created the International Distributor Business as a result of the growing size and importance of the retail distribution business. In 2002, International Distributor Business sales were 9 percent of our total net sales. Our International Distributor Business consists of 17 company-owned distributors and two joint ventures that distribute the full range of our products and services to end-users at 111 locations in 50 countries and territories. Through this network, our trained personnel provide parts and service to our customers, as well as full service solutions, including maintenance contracts, engineering services and integrated products where we customize our products to cater to specific end-users. Our company-owned distributors are located in key markets, including India, China, Japan, Australia, the UK and South Africa. Our distributors also serve the dealers and end-users in their territories by providing product maintenance, repair and overhaul services.

        Our International Distributor Business serves a highly diverse customer base consisting of various end-users in the specific geographic markets in which our distributors are located.

        In our International Distributor Business, each distributor that we own or operate in a particular geographic region competes with other distributors and dealers that offer similar products within that region. In many cases, competing distributors and dealers are owned by, or affiliated with, OEMs of those competing products.

Segment Financial Information

        Financial information about our business segments is incorporated by reference from Note 17 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Supply

        We have developed and maintain a world class supply base in terms of technology, quality and cost. We source our materials and manufactured components from leading suppliers both domestically and internationally, and we have adequate sources of supply of raw materials and components. We machine and assemble many of the components used in our engines, including blocks, heads, rods, turbochargers, crankshafts and fuel systems. We also have arrangements with certain suppliers who are the sole source for specific products or supply items.

Patents and Trademarks

        We own or control a significant number of patents and trademarks relating to the products we manufacture. These have been granted and registered over a period of years. Although these patents and trademarks are generally considered beneficial to our operations, we do not believe any patent, group of patents, or trademark (other than our leading brand house trademarks) is considered significant in relation to our business.

Seasonality

        While individual product lines may experience modest seasonal declines in production, there is no material effect on the demand for the majority of our products on a quarterly basis. However, our Power Generation Business normally experiences seasonal declines in the first quarter of the fiscal year due to general declines in construction spending and our International Distributor Business normally experiences seasonal declines in first quarter sales due to holiday periods in Asia and Australia.

11

Largest Customer

        We have thousands of customers around the world and have developed long-standing business relationships with many of them. DaimlerChrysler is our largest customer, accounting for approximately 14 percent of our net sales in 2002, primarily relating to sales of our ISB engine for use in Dodge Ram trucks and sales of our heavy and medium-duty engines to the Freightliner division of DaimlerChrysler. While a significant number of our sales to DaimlerChrysler are under long-term supply agreements, these agreements provide for the supply of DaimlerChrysler's engine requirements for particular models and not a specific number of engines. DaimlerChrysler is our only customer accounting for more than 10 percent of our net sales in 2002, and accordingly, the loss of this customer or a significant decline in the production level of DaimlerChrysler vehicles that use our engines would have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We have been supplying engines to DaimlerChrysler for more than 13 years. A summary of our principal customers for each of our business segments is included in the discussion of each of our segments.

Backlog

        While we have supply agreements with some truck and off-highway equipment OEMs, most of our business is transacted through open purchase orders. These open orders are historically subject to month-to-month releases and may be canceled on reasonable notice without cancellation charges and therefore are not considered technically firm.

Distribution

        Over the last 45 years, we have developed a distribution and service network that includes more than 500 distributor locations and 4,700 dealers in 131 countries and territories. This network is comprised of independent distributors, as well as distributors that are partially or wholly owned by us. Each distributor sells the full range of our products, as well as complementary products and services. Our International Distributor Business operates within this network, operating company-owned distributors in 111 locations across 50 countries and territories.

        Our distribution capability is a key element of our business strategy and competitive position, particularly in our efforts to increase customer access to aftermarket replacement parts and repair service. There are approximately 8,900 locations in North America, primarily owned and operated by OEMs or their dealers, at which Cummins trained service personnel and parts are available to service, maintain and repair our engines. We also have parts distribution centers located strategically throughout the world in order to serve our customers.

        We consolidate the financial results of all wholly-owned distributors and account for partially-owned distributors using the equity method of accounting (see Note 1 and Note 5 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements).

Research and Development

        We have an extensive research and engineering program to achieve product improvements, innovations and cost reductions for our customers, as well as to satisfy legislated emissions requirements. We are nearing completion of a program to renew and extend our engine range. We have introduced a variety of concepts in the diesel industry that combine electronic controls, computing capability and information technology. We also offer alternative fuel engines for certain markets. In 2002, our research and development expenditures were $201 million. We continue to invest in technologies to meet increasingly more stringent emissions standards. For example, we have had three heavy-duty diesel truck engines certified by the EPA as in compliance with new emissions standards for heavy-duty diesel engines that went into effect in the U.S. on October 1, 2002. We were the first company to have an engine certified by the EPA as being in compliance with the new EPA standards.

Employment

        As of December 31, 2002, we employed approximately 23,700 persons worldwide. Approximately 9,700 of our employees are represented by various unions under collective bargaining agreements that expire between 2003 and 2005. We believe that we have a good working relationship with our employees.

Environmental Compliance

Product Environmental Compliance

        Our engines are subject to extensive statutory and regulatory requirements that directly or indirectly impose standards governing emissions and noise. Our products comply with emissions standards that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and other state regulatory agencies, as well as other regulatory agencies around the world, have established for heavy-duty on-highway diesel and gas engines and off-highway engines produced through 2003. Our ability to comply with these and future emissions standards is an essential element in maintaining our leadership position in regulated markets. We have made, and will continue to make, significant capital and research expenditures to comply with these standards. Failure to comply with these standards could result in adverse effects on our future financial results.

EPA Engine Certifications

        In the fourth quarter 2002, we implemented new on-road emissions standards. These were implemented in accordance with the terms of a consent decree that we and a number of other engine manufacturers entered into with the EPA, the U.S. Department of Justice and CARB. The consent decree was in response to concerns raised by these agencies regarding the level of nitrogen oxide emissions (NOx) from heavy-duty diesel engines.

        EPA regulations governing our operations also establish several means for the EPA to ensure and verify compliance with emissions standards, including tests of new engines as they come off the assembly line (selective enforcement audits (SEAs)) and tests of field engines (in-use compliance tests). The EPA has used the SEA provisions for several years to verify the compliance of heavy-duty engines. In the product development process, we anticipate SEA requirements when we set emissions design

14

targets. If we fail an SEA, we might be required to cease production of any non-compliant engines and recall engines produced prior to the audit. None of our engines was chosen for in-use compliance testing in 2003. The EPA will increase the in-use test rate in future years, and one or more of our engines may be selected.

        In 1988, the CARB promulgated a rule that requires the reporting of failures of emissions related components when the failure rate reaches a specified level. At higher failure rates, a recall may be required. In 2002, we did not submit any emissions-related component failure reports. EPA also requires the submission of defect reports. Pursuant to this requirement, we notified EPA that 811 ISB engines produced at our Darlington Engine Plant in England contained pistons produced by a supplier that are not in compliance with specifications, resulting in slightly higher particulate emissions. We have proposed a solution which is under review by the EPA.

        A second element of the consent decree requires us to pull forward by one year to January 1, 2005, the implementation of Tier 3 emissions standards for off-road engines in the horsepower range from 320 to 750 horsepower. Development is well under way for achieving this milestone for all engine families in all horsepower ranges.

        Emissions standards in international markets, including Europe and Japan, are becoming more stringent. We believe that our experience in meeting U.S. emissions standards leaves us well positioned to take advantage of opportunities in these markets as the need for emissions control capability grows.

Other Environmental Statutes and Regulations

        We believe we are in compliance in all material respects with laws and regulations applicable to our plants and operations. During the last five years, expenditures for environmental control activities and environmental remediation projects at our facilities in the U.S. have not been a substantial portion of annual capital outlays and are not expected to be material in 2003. Pursuant to notices received from federal and state agencies and/or defendant parties in site environmental contribution actions, we have been identified as potentially responsible parties (PRPs) under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, or similar state laws, at approximately 10 waste disposal sites. Under such laws, we typically are jointly and severally liable for any investigation and remediation costs incurred with respect to the sites. Therefore, our ultimate responsibility for such costs could be greater than the percentage of waste we actually contributed to the site.

        We are unable to determine the aggregate cost of remediation at these sites. However, for each site we have attempted to calculate our liability by analyzing the amounts and constituents of waste we contributed to the sites, the estimated costs for remediation at the sites, the number and identities of other PRPs and the level of our insurance coverage. At some of these sites, we will be released from liability at the site as a de minimis PRP for a nominal amount. With respect to some sites at which we have been named as a PRP, we cannot accurately estimate the future remediation costs. At several sites, the remedial action has not been determined. In other cases, we have only recently been named a PRP and we are collecting information on the site. Finally, in some cases, we believe we have no liability at the site and are actively contesting our designation as a PRP.

        Based upon our experiences at similar sites, however, we believe that our aggregate future remediation costs will not be significant. We believe that we have good defenses to liability at several of the sites while our percentage contribution at other sites is likely to be insignificant and that other PRPs will bear most of the future remediation costs at the sites where we could have liability. Because environmental laws impose joint and several liability, our liability may be based upon many factors outside our control, however, and could be material if we become obligated to pay a significant portion of expenses that would otherwise be the responsibility of other PRPs. Based upon information presently available, we believe that such an outcome is unlikely at any site for which we have been named a PRP.

In addition, engines and engine components are manufactured by joint ventures or independent licensees at plants in the UK, France, China, India, Japan, Pakistan, South Korea, Turkey and Indonesia.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

        We are at any one time party to a number of lawsuits or subject to claims arising out of the ordinary course of our business, including actions related to product liability, patent, trademark or other intellectual property infringement, contractual liability, workplace safety and environmental claims and cases, some of which involve claims for substantial damages. We and our subsidiaries are currently defendants in a number of pending legal actions, including actions related to use and performance of our products. While we carry product liability insurance covering significant claims for damages involving personal injury and property damage, we cannot assure you that such insurance would be adequate to cover the costs associated with a judgment against us with respect to these claims. We have also been identified as a PRP at several waste disposal sites under federal and state environmental statutes, as more fully described above under "Environmental Compliance Other Environmental Statutes and Regulations." We deny liability with respect to many of these legal actions and environmental proceedings and are vigorously defending such actions or proceedings. While we have established accruals that we believe are adequate for our expected future liability with respect to our pending legal actions and proceedings, we cannot assure that our liability with respect to any such action or proceeding would not exceed our established accruals. Further, we cannot assure that litigation having a material adverse affect on our financial condition will not arise in the future. The information in Item 1 "Other Environmental Statutes and Regulations" is incorporated herein by reference. See also Note 19, Contingencies, Guarantees and Indemnifications, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Restatement of Previously-Issued Financial Statements

        The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations set forth in this Item 7 has been revised to reflect the restatement of the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements for the years 2001 and 2000 and certain events occurring subsequent to the original due date for filing this 2002 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In addition, we have updated our disclosure with respect to recently issued accounting standards.

        On April 14, 2003, we announced that we had determined that our previously issued financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 2001 would require restatement and reaudit. The restatement was necessary to correct prior period accounting errors related primarily to unreconciled accounts payable accounts at two of our manufacturing locations, the majority of which

18

were associated with the integration of a new enterprise resource planning system into our accounting processes. We were required to have these restated financial statements audited by our current auditors, since Arthur Andersen LLP, our predecessor auditor for the years subject to restatement, had ceased operations.

        The restatement and reaudit of our financial statements included a comprehensive review of the accounting records underlying our financial statements for the related periods. The accompanying financial statements reflect adjustments made to our previously reported information as a result of this comprehensive review and the work performed during the restatement and reaudit process in order to correct accounting errors primarily associated with the period of accounting recognition. We have segregated these adjustments into the following categories:
