3Q 2011 Earnings Release

October 24, 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Caterpillar Third-Quarter Sales and Revenues an All-Time Record;

Thousands of Jobs Added, and the 2011 Outlook Improves

2012 Sales and Revenues expected to be up 10 to 20 percent

PEORIA, Ill.— Continued improvement in demand, a company-wide focus on effectively managing the ramp-up through the Caterpillar Production System, and focused cost management drove third-quarter sales and revenues and profit for Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT). The company today reported third-quarter 2011 profit per share of $1.71, up 40 percent from $1.22 per share in the third quarter of 2010. Profit was $1.141 billion, an increase of 44 percent from $792 million in the third quarter of 2010. Sales and revenues of $15.716 billion, an all-time record for the company, were up 41 percent from $11.134 billion in the third quarter of 2010.

Excluding the impacts of the recent acquisition of Bucyrus International, Inc. (Bucyrus), profit was $1.93 per share, up 58 percent from a year ago. Sales and revenues excluding Bucyrus were $14.581 billion, up 31 percent from the third quarter of 2010. Excluding the impacts of Bucyrus, it was an all-time record quarter for both sales and revenues and profit.

“I am pleased with how we’re performing and optimistic about demand for our products, and that is why we are moving forward with needed investment in our business to support our long-term growth opportunities,” said Caterpillar Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Doug Oberhelman. “This was the best quarter for sales in our history, and our order backlog is at an all-time high. Excluding Bucyrus impacts, this was also our best profit quarter in history, and year-to-date operating profit as a percent of sales was higher than any full year in more than three decades. Machinery and Power Systems operating cash flow has also been very positive, with the first nine months of the year better than any full year in our history,” Oberhelman added.

“We were pleased to be able to continue adding jobs—about 4,800 in the third quarter, with more than 2,000 in the United States—as demand for our products and U.S. exports continued to improve. This is a continuation of Caterpillar’s strong hiring over the past couple of years. In fact, since the beginning of 2010, we have added more than 30,000 jobs to our global workforce, not including the impact of our acquisitions and divestitures,” Oberhelman said.

Revised 2011 Outlook

The outlook for 2011 sales and revenues and profit has improved. Total company sales and revenues are expected to be about $58 billion in 2011. The previous outlook was a range of $56 to $58 billion. The 2011 outlook includes about $2 billion in Bucyrus sales. Excluding the impact of the Bucyrus acquisition, we expect sales and revenues will be about $56 billion in 2011; that is an improvement from the previous outlook of $54 to $56 billion.

The profit outlook has improved, and we now expect 2011 profit of about $6.75 per share. The prior outlook was a range of $6.25 to $6.75. The outlook includes a negative impact from the acquisition of Bucyrus of about $0.50 per share, which is unchanged from the previous outlook. Excluding the impact of Bucyrus, we expect 2011 profit of about $7.25 per share; the prior outlook expected profit of $6.75 to $7.25 per share.

“Although there is a good deal of economic and political uncertainty in the world, we are not seeing it much in our business at this point. We believe continued economic recovery, albeit a slow recovery, is the most likely scenario as we move forward,” Oberhelman said. “2011 has been an outstanding year for Caterpillar, and we are on pace for all-time record sales and profit,” Oberhelman added.

“In the United States, we were pleased with the bipartisan approach that recently resulted in passage of Free Trade Agreements with Colombia, Panama and South Korea. That, along with growing bipartisan understanding that we need to do something positive about infrastructure in the United States, makes us hopeful that greater cooperation in Washington will result in actions that will help the economy, improve the prospects for job creation and help U.S.-based businesses compete around the world,” Oberhelman said.

Preliminary 2012 Outlook

The preliminary outlook for 2012 sales and revenues is based on improving, but slow, growth in the developed parts of the world with continuing improvement in sales from what are currently low levels. Growth in developing countries in 2012 is expected to be similar to 2011, supporting higher sales of our products and services. We expect sales and revenues to improve 10 to 20 percent from the 2011 outlook of about $58 billion.

The 2012 outlook includes a full year of Bucyrus-related sales of about $5 billion, up from a partial year of about $2 billion in 2011.

“We’re having a great year in 2011, and 2012 is shaping up to be better. Our leadership team is working on plans for next year, and it looks like 2012 will see improvements in sales and revenues across our businesses,” Oberhelman added. “We are continuing to increase production levels for many of our products and expect that supply will remain tight in 2012. That’s why we are making strategic investments in our business to position Caterpillar for continued success well beyond 2012,” Oberhelman said. “Of course, we realize the world faces economic uncertainty and risk. A key part of our planning process is to make sure we’re prepared if the situation turns negative. Each of our businesses prepares ‘trough’ plans—a standard practice at Caterpillar—to help us act faster should we need to take action,” Oberhelman added.

CONSOLIDATED RESULTS

Consolidated Sales and Revenues

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Sales and Revenues between the third quarter of 2010 (at left) and the third quarter of 2011 (at right). Items favorably impacting sales and revenues appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting sales and revenues appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. The bar entitled Sales Volume includes the sales impact of the divestiture of Carter Machinery Company, Inc. (Carter). Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees.

Sales and Revenues

Total sales and revenues were $15.716 billion in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $4.582 billion, or 41 percent, from the third quarter of 2010.

The improvement was largely a result of $2.829 billion higher sales volume. While sales for new equipment and after-market parts improved, the most significant increase was for new equipment. Price realization improved $129 million, and currency impacts added $356 million. Bucyrus, which was acquired during the third quarter of 2011, added a further $1.135 billion in sales. Sales for Electro-Motive Diesel (EMD), which was acquired during the third quarter of 2010, increased $122 million. Financial Products revenues improved slightly.

The improvement in sales volume occurred across the world in all geographic regions and in nearly all segments. The volume increase was primarily the result of higher deliveries to end users. Dealer-reported new machine inventory levels were up more than $650 million during the quarter, while they were up about $200 million during the third quarter of 2010. Dealer-reported inventory in months of supply was higher than the end of the third quarter of 2010 but similar to the historical average.

Growth in the global economy improved demand for commodities, and commodity prices remained attractive for investment. This was positive for mining in all regions of the world.

Construction activity continued to grow in many developing countries. In developed countries, despite a continued weak level of construction activity, sales increased as a result of customers upgrading machine fleets and replacing some older equipment and dealers refreshing some equipment in their rental fleets.

Power Systems sales increased as a result of worldwide economic growth, energy prices at levels that encouraged continued investment, higher sales for our rail products and services and increased demand from industrial engine customers that manufacture agricultural and construction equipment.

Consolidated Operating Profit

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in Consolidated Operating Profit between the third quarter of 2010 (at left) and the third quarter of 2011 (at right). Items favorably impacting operating profit appear as upward stair steps with the corresponding dollar amounts above each bar, while items negatively impacting operating profit appear as downward stair steps with dollar amounts reflected in parentheses above each bar. Caterpillar management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate with the company’s Board of Directors and employees. The bar entitled Other includes the operating profit impact of the divestiture of Carter and consolidating adjustments and Machinery and Power Systems other operating (income) expenses.

Operating profit for the third quarter of 2011 was $1.759 billion compared with $1.187 billion for the third quarter of 2010. The improvement was primarily the result of higher sales volume and better price realization. The improvements were partially offset by higher manufacturing costs, the negative impact of currency, acquisitions, and higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses.

Manufacturing costs were up $330 million, primarily due to higher period costs related to increased production volume, capacity expansion programs and higher incentive compensation. Material and freight costs were up from the third quarter of 2010. The increase in material was primarily due to higher steel costs.

SG&A and R&D expenses increased 6 percent, reflecting strong cost control given the significant increase in sales. The $82 million increase was primarily due to higher volume, increased costs to support product programs and higher incentive compensation, partially offset by a favorable change in mark-to-market deferred compensation expense.

Currency had a $160 million unfavorable impact on operating profit as the benefit from $356 million on sales was more than offset by a negative $516 million impact on costs.

Financial Products’ operating profit improved by $49 million.

Operating profit was negatively impacted by $143 million related to Bucyrus, while EMD negatively impacted operating profit by $8 million.

Other Profit/Loss Items

· Interest expense excluding Financial Products increased $27 million from the third quarter of 2010 due to debt issued to complete the acquisition of Bucyrus.

· Other income/expense was expense of $13 million compared with income of $1 million in the third quarter of 2010.

· The provision for income taxes in the third quarter reflects an estimated annual effective tax rate of 29 percent compared with 28 percent for the third quarter of 2010. The third quarter of 2010 tax provision also included a $14 million benefit related to a decrease in the estimated annual effective tax rate. The 2011 estimated effective tax rate of 29 percent is higher than the comparable full-year 2010 rate of 25 percent primarily due to an expected change in our geographic mix of profits from a tax perspective.

Global Workforce

Caterpillar worldwide full-time employment was 121,513 at the end of the third quarter of 2011 compared with 102,336 at the end of the third quarter of 2010, an increase of 19,177 full-time employees. In addition, we increased the flexible workforce by 7,117 for a total increase in the global workforce of 26,294.

We increased our workforce primarily to support higher sales volume across all geographic regions. In addition, acquisitions, primarily Bucyrus, added 12,397 people, while the sale of Carter Machinery in the first quarter of 2011 reduced the workforce by 1,157 people.

Construction Industries

Construction Industries’ sales were $4.900 billion in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $1.434 billion, or 41 percent, from the third quarter of 2010. The improvement in sales was a result of significantly higher sales volume in all geographic regions and across all major products. While sales for new equipment and after-market parts improved, the most significant increase was for new equipment. In addition to volume, sales were higher as a result of currency impacts from a weaker U.S. dollar.

Continuing economic growth in most developing countries resulted in higher sales overall. New machine sales were above or near record levels across much of the developing world. China was an exception, and machine industry sales to end users were lower in the third quarter of 2011 than in the third quarter of 2010 as a result of economic tightening by the Chinese government to reduce inflation. However, our sales in China were higher in the third quarter of 2011 than in the third quarter of 2010 as dealer deliveries to end users, while down, held up better than the industry overall, and machine production was sufficient to allow dealers to build inventory for the upcoming selling season.

In most developed countries, sales increased significantly despite relatively weak construction activity. The improvement in sales was largely driven by the need for customers to upgrade machine fleets and replace older equipment and dealers refreshing some equipment in their rental fleets. Despite the increase from a year ago, sales of new machines to customers in developed countries remain significantly below previous peak levels. The size of rental fleets increased slightly from post-recession lows, but the average age remained near the historical high.

Construction Industries’ profit was $496 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $246 million in the third quarter of 2010. The increase in profit was primarily due to higher sales volume, which included the impact of an unfavorable mix of products, and improved price realization. The benefit from higher sales was partially offset by increased period manufacturing costs and higher freight and variable labor costs. The period cost increase is primarily due to higher production volume and start-up costs associated with global capacity expansion.

Resource Industries

Resource Industries’ sales were $4.599 billion in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $2.337 billion, or 103 percent, from the third quarter of 2010. About half of the sales increase was from the acquisition of Bucyrus during the third quarter of 2011, and about half was from higher sales volume.

Metals prices softened during the third quarter of 2011 in response to economic concerns, but production continued to increase. While commodity prices are off their highs, they remain favorable for investment, and that is driving significant demand for our large mining products and improved parts sales.

Bucyrus sales were $1.135 billion in the third quarter of 2011, with $266 million in North America, $185 million in Latin America, $248 million in EAME and $436 million in Asia/Pacific.

Resource Industries’ profit was $745 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $538 million in the third quarter of 2010. The acquisition of Bucyrus negatively impacted profit by $143 million. A table on page 15 provides further detail of the Bucyrus impact.

Excluding Bucyrus, Resource Industries’ profit increased $350 million, primarily due to higher sales volume. The improvement was partially offset by higher manufacturing and R&D costs. The manufacturing costs increase was primarily due to higher period, freight and material costs.

Power Systems

Power Systems’ sales were $5.075 billion in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $879 million, or 21 percent, from the third quarter of 2010. The improvement was a result of higher sales volume for both new equipment and parts, the acquisition of EMD, currency and price realization. Sales were up in all geographic regions except for Latin America, which declined as a result of the absence of two large orders for turbines in the third quarter of 2010.

Worldwide demand for energy at price levels that encourage continued investment has resulted in higher demand for engines and turbines for petroleum applications. Sales of our rail products and services and industrial engines also increased.

Power Systems’ profit was $794 million in the third quarter of 2011 compared with $694 million in the third quarter of 2010. The improvement was primarily due to higher sales volume, which included the impact of an unfavorable mix of products, and improved price realization. The improvements were partially offset by higher manufacturing costs, primarily driven by higher period costs and facility start-up expenses, and SG&A expense.

Sales for EMD, which was acquired on August 2, 2010, increased $122 million, and profit for EMD decreased by $6 million.

Financial Products Segment

Financial Products’ revenues were $757 million, an increase of $20 million, or 3 percent, from the third quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily due to the impact from higher average earning assets and higher miscellaneous net revenues, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from lower interest rates on new and existing finance receivables.

Financial Products’ profit was $145 million in the third quarter of 2011, compared with $108 million in the third quarter of 2010. The increase was primarily due to a $17 million decrease in provision expense at Cat Financial, a $14 million favorable impact from miscellaneous net revenues and a $13 million favorable impact from higher net yield on average earning assets.

At the end of the third quarter of 2011, past dues at Cat Financial were 3.54 percent, a decrease from 3.73 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2011, 3.87 percent at the end of 2010 and 4.88 percent at the end of

the third quarter of 2010. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $50 million for the third quarter of 2011, down from $78 million in the third quarter of 2010.

As of September 30, 2011, Cat Financial’s allowance for credit losses totaled $362 million, or 1.49 percent of net finance receivables, compared with $363 million, or 1.57 percent of net finance receivables, at year-end 2010. The allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2010, was $367 million, which was 1.61 percent of net finance receivables.

Corporate Items and Eliminations

Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $589 million in the third quarter of 2011, an increase of $45 million from the third quarter of 2010. Corporate items and eliminations include corporate-level expenses; timing differences, as some expenses are reported in segment profit on a cash basis; retirement benefit costs other than service cost; currency differences, as segment profit is reported using annual fixed exchange rates, and inter-segment eliminations.

Segment profit for 2011 is based on fixed exchange rates set at the beginning of 2011, while segment profit for 2010 is based on fixed exchange rates set at the beginning of 2010. 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. The increased expense for Corporate items and eliminations includes currency differences not allocated to segments, as third-quarter 2011 actual exchange rates were unfavorable compared with 2011 fixed exchange rates. In addition, corporate level expenses increased, but were partially offset by favorable impacts of timing differences and mark-to-market deferred compensation expense.

Outlook

2011 Economic Outlook

Eurozone government debt problems, U.S. difficulties in raising the federal debt limit and signs of slowing economic growth caused stock markets and confidence indicators to decline in the third quarter of 2011. While concerning, we do not believe these developments signal the onset of recession. The indicators that we track suggest slow growth the rest of the year. We expect the world economy will grow about 3 percent in 2011, down from 4 percent in 2010. Metals prices softened in response to economic concerns, but production continued to increase, and mining companies appear to be continuing with investments. While commodity prices are off their highs, we expect that they will remain favorable for mining investment and production.

Key points related to our economic outlook include:

· The U.S. economy averaged 0.8 percent annual growth in the first half of 2011 as federal, state and local governments reduced spending at over a 3 percent annual rate. We anticipate the U.S. economy will improve its growth rate in the second half of 2011, allowing full-year growth of about 1.7 percent. We expect capital investment to continue to grow faster than the overall economy.

· The Eurozone’s difficulties in addressing its government debt crisis and policy tightening slowed economic growth and weakened confidence. The European Central Bank (ECB) began increasing bank liquidity during the third quarter of 2011 and announced additional actions in October. We anticipate the ECB will start reversing recent interest rate increases in the fourth quarter of 2011. Economic growth is expected to be about 1.5 percent in 2011 with capital investment growing even faster.

· Japan’s economy has declined for three quarters, in large part due to natural disasters. We expect increased government spending and near-record banking liquidity will allow a recovery in the second half of 2011. As a

result, we expect economic output in 2011 to be about even with last year. Capital spending is expected to improve in the second half of 2011.

· Difficulties in developed economies prompted most developing countries to halt policy tightening, with several countries reducing interest rates. Our outlook assumes developing countries will grow about 6 percent in 2011, about a percentage point slower than in 2010.

· Asia/Pacific countries tightened economic policies in 2011, which we expect will slow economic growth to less than 7 percent. We believe that rate of growth would be sufficient for both construction and commodity demand to increase.

· China’s economy averaged 9.4 percent growth in the first three quarters of 2011, and we expect past policy tightening will slow full-year growth to 9.3 percent. Inflation appears to have peaked, and liquidity growth has slowed to a rate consistent with past easing. We expect no further policy tightening this year.

· Our outlook assumes Latin American economic growth will slow to about 4.5 percent in 2011, the result of prior interest rate increases. Brazil recently cut interest rates, and other countries appear near the end of policy tightening.

· Africa/Middle East economies are benefiting from low interest rates and favorable commodity prices. We expect economic growth will exceed 4.5 percent in 2011.

· Countries in the CIS have maintained low interest rates and are benefiting from favorable commodity prices. Our outlook assumes economic growth will improve to over 5 percent this year.

2012 Preliminary Economic Outlook

We expect the world economy will continue to recover in 2012, with growth improving to about 3.5 percent. The United States and Japan should account for much of the improvement.

· Economic uncertainty over the past quarter has caused many countries to reconsider policy tightening, and several countries have already cut interest rates. Overall, we expect interest rates will trend lower in 2012.

· An expanding world economy will likely increase demand for most commodities. We expect producers will continue to struggle to meet this demand, and most commodity prices should average higher than in 2011.

· The U.S. Federal Reserve announced it would hold interest rates in a zero to twenty-five basis point range well into 2013, and we expect additional actions to maintain liquidity growth. Our outlook assumes the U.S. economy will grow about 2.5 percent in 2012, and we expect business investment to grow even faster.

· We expect economic growth will improve employment and household formations in the United States—the major driver of housing demand. Housing starts will likely improve somewhat with multi-unit starts increasing the most. While we expect housing starts in the United States to improve modestly, they will likely remain below what is needed to support a rate of household formations consistent with ongoing population growth.

· Our outlook assumes nonresidential building construction in the United States will improve due to lower vacancy rates, increased building prices and easier credit terms. Infrastructure-related construction will remain constrained by government budget restrictions and the lack of a new federal highway program.

· We expect the ECB will reverse its two 2011 rate increases by the end of first quarter 2012 and that bank liquidity will continue to improve. These actions will help offset tighter government budgets. We expect the Eurozone economy will grow about 1 percent in 2012, but capital spending should increase faster.

· Other European economies will likely continue to outperform the Eurozone, and we expect economic growth in all of Europe will average less than 1.5 percent.

· We anticipate the Bank of Japan will hold interest rates near zero and increase bank liquidity. Favorable economic policies, along with reconstruction spending, will likely lead to about 4 percent economic growth.

· Our outlook assumes Asia/Pacific economies will grow more than 7 percent in 2012, a slight improvement over 2011. Although we expect China will relax economic policies, growth will ease to about 9 percent. Growth in the other large regional economies, India and Indonesia, should improve slightly.

· Continued economic growth in Asia will likely improve construction activity and commodity demand, and we expect mining production to increase.

· Interest rates in several of the key Latin American economies will likely decline in 2012. We expect economic growth of more than 4 percent, with further increases in both mining and construction.

· Africa/Middle East and CIS regions were slower to recover, and interest rates are not much higher than a year ago. Continued favorable commodity prices should provide additional help, and we expect economic growth close to 5.5 percent in 2012.

Economic Risks

· The large developed economies of the United States, Eurozone and Japan pose the most significant risks to our outlook. A decade of weak growth has left these economies with high unemployment, governments struggling to fund operations and depressed construction spending.

· Economic policies of developed countries have not been up to the task of securing sustained, stronger economic growth. Governments have too often engaged in confidence-destroying battles over budgets, and central banks have too often overestimated the stimulus provided by their policies.

· Our forecast of improved growth in these economies rests on the assumption that central banks will continue recent efforts to provide more liquidity, allowing modest recoveries to continue. Should they prematurely tighten these policies, recessions could develop.

2011 Sales and Revenues Outlook

Even with expectations for moderate economic growth, our business has continued to improve, and, as a result, we have revised our 2011 outlook for sales and revenues. We expect sales and revenues will be about $58 billion in 2011. That is an improvement from our previous outlook of $56 to $58 billion. We expect that Bucyrus will add about $2 billion to sales in 2011. Excluding Bucyrus, we expect sales and revenues will be about $56 billion in 2011. Our previous outlook excluding Bucyrus was a range of $54 to $56 billion.

2011 Profit Outlook

In total, including the Bucyrus acquisition, we have improved our outlook for profit in 2011. We now expect profit of about $6.75 per share. Our prior outlook was a range of $6.25 to $6.75 per share.

We expect that Bucyrus will negatively impact profit about $0.50 per share, which is unchanged from our previous outlook.

Excluding the impact of Bucyrus, we expect 2011 profit of about $7.25 per share. Our prior outlook excluding Bucyrus expected profit of $6.75 to $7.25 per share.

The improvement in the profit outlook is primarily a result of the increase in the 2011 outlook for sales and revenues.

Preliminary 2012 Outlook for Sales and Revenues

Our preliminary outlook for 2012 sales and revenues is based on continuing slow growth in the developed parts of the world but with continuing improvement in sales of machines from what are currently low levels. Growth in developing countries in 2012 is expected to be similar to 2011, supporting higher sales of our products and services. We expect sales and revenues to improve 10 to 20 percent from the 2011 outlook of about $58 billion. The outlook includes a full year of Bucyrus-related sales of about $5 billion, up from a partial year in 2011 of about $2 billion. Some key factors related to our preliminary sales and revenues outlook include:

· Our order backlog has steadily increased throughout the year and is currently at a record level.

· Commodity prices, while off earlier highs, are at levels that should continue to be favorable for mining investment.

· We expect dealers to continue to add to rental fleets to reduce average machine ages and increase fleet sizes.

· Users in developed countries still need to catch up on deferred replacements. In addition, we expect modest improvement in construction activity.

· We expect construction activity to continue to improve in developing countries, requiring further machine fleet expansions.

· We expect that dealers throughout the world will modestly increase machine inventories to support higher deliveries.

· We also expect that demand for engines, turbines, and rail should improve.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q1: Can you summarize the impact of Bucyrus on third-quarter financial results?

A: Following is a table that summarizes the impact of Bucyrus on 2011 year-to-date financial results. The table is in two sections. The first shows the impact of Bucyrus on the individual results of operations line items down to profit (loss) before tax. The bottom section of the table shows the impact of Bucyrus by category as we defined them in our second quarter financial release.

Q2: Can you discuss how the impact of Bucyrus on 2011 has changed from what you expected in your second-quarter financial release?

A: In the outlook we issued with our second-quarter financial results in July, we expected that the Bucyrus acquisition would add about $2 billion of sales, but be negative to profit about $0.50 per share.

While our estimate of the full-year impact is still about $2 billion of sales and a negative $0.50 per share, there has been some change in the elements. Two notable changes are incremental intangible amortization and the inventory step-up. We now expect incremental intangible amortization that resulted from the acquisition will be about $35 million lower than our previous estimate of $150 million, but the impact of the inventory step-up will be about $50 million higher than our previous estimate of $250 million.

Q3: Have you updated your 2012 estimate for Bucyrus?

A: Not yet. We are currently in the process of planning for 2012 throughout Caterpillar. We provided a preliminary outlook for total company sales and revenues, but as is usual at this time of the year, we are not through the complete planning process and have not provided a profit outlook for 2012. In our preliminary outlook for sales and revenues, we said that we expected Bucyrus-related sales to be about $5 billion for the full-year 2012.

Our practice is to provide a profit outlook for the total company with our year-end financial release in January. We expect to discuss the impact of the Bucyrus acquisition on 2012 profit at that time.

Q4: We understand that you are in discussions with Cat dealers to sell them Bucyrus distribution businesses. Can you quantify what that impact will be and how the discussions are progressing?

A: We are discussing the Bucyrus distribution businesses with Cat dealers that have mining activity in their territories, and we intend to sell these businesses to those dealers. The discussions are progressing, but it is too early to provide any details.

It is also too early to discuss the timing or impact that these transactions may have on our financial results going forward. For that reason, our estimate of the impact of the Bucyrus acquisition on 2011 profit does not assume any impact from selling distribution businesses to dealers.

Q5: Is there an update on the timing of the closing of the MWM Holding GmbH (MWM) acquisition?

A: We recently received clearance from European regulators and expect the MWM acquisition to close before year-end 2011.

Q6: Can you comment on your plans for your external logistics business?

A: We have received significant interest from around the world and expect to make a decision on the future of our external logistics business by the end of the year.

Q7: Have you included any impact related to the MWM acquisition or changes to the external logistics business in your 2011 outlook or your preliminary 2012 sales and revenues outlook?

A: No, because the MWM transaction has not closed and a final decision on our external logistics business has not been made.

Q8: Can you comment on new machine inventories held by your dealers and your expectations for the full-year 2011?

A: During the third quarter of 2011, dealers reported new machine inventory increases of more than $650 million from the end of the second quarter of 2011—about $500 million in Asia/Pacific and $200 million in North America. In months of supply, inventories (in total and by region) are close to historic averages. Year-to-date dealer inventories are up about $1.8 billion and are up in all regions. By product category, machines for mining applications have increased the most and account for about 40 percent of the year-to-date increase.

We expect dealer inventories will be flat to slightly down in the fourth quarter of 2011.

Q9: Can you comment on your order backlog?

A: The following table summarizes our order backlog:

(billions of dollars)	9/30/2010		12/31/2010		6/30/2011		9/30/2011
Order Backlog Excluding Bucyrus	$	17.4	$	18.7	$	21.9	$	24.4
Bucyrus Impact							4.2
Order Backlog	$	17.4	$	18.7	$	21.9	$	28.6

* Bucyrus backlog was $3.5 billion on July 8, 2011, the date we acquired Bucyrus.

Our order backlog improved throughout the third quarter of 2011 and was at a record level at the end of the quarter with, and without, the impact of Bucyrus.

Q10: Since mid-2010 you have announced numerous investments in additional capacity around the world. Are they going forward? Does your view of economic growth still support the plans you have announced?

A: While plans are always subject to some adjustment, we are largely on track and moving ahead. Our preliminary outlook for 2012 sales and revenues means that we need to continue to increase production. We are expecting 2012 to remain tight in terms of capacity for many of our products, and, in some cases, capacity will be a limiting factor for sales growth—particularly large machines for mining. We intend to continue to invest in our business to be prepared for continued growth beyond 2012.

Q11: Can you comment on expense related to your short-term incentive compensation plans in the third quarter and your expectation for the full-year 2011?

A: Short-term incentive compensation expense is directly related to financial and operational performance. As a result of increasing our outlook for 2011, we have increased our estimate of short-term incentive compensation. At the end of the second quarter, we expected about $1.050 billion of expense in 2011, and we have increased that to about $1.120 billion.

Expense was $315 million in the third quarter of 2011, $305 million in the second quarter and $220 million in the first quarter.

Short-term incentive compensation in the third quarter of 2010 was $240 million.

Q12: We calculate incremental operating profit pull through, but the impact of your recent acquisitions makes the calculation difficult. Can you adjust for acquisitions? Can you calculate this for both the third quarter and year-to-date?

A: For the third quarter, excluding the impact of our Bucyrus and EMD acquisitions, incremental operating profit versus 2010 was about 22 percent of incremental sales and revenues.

In addition to adjusting for acquisitions, to better understand the underlying operational impacts, it is also useful to consider currency impacts. The table below starts with our reported sales and revenues and reported operating profit and adjusts for the acquisitions of EMD and Bucyrus and the impacts of currency on sales and operating profit.

For the third quarter, adjusting for acquisitions and currency, the incremental margin rate was approximately 30 percent.

	Third Quarter			Third Quarter
(Millions of dollars)	2011			2010			$ Change
Sales and Revenues	$	15,716		$	11,134		$	4,582

Incremental Margin Rate excluding EMD, Bucyrus and Currency Impacts							30		%

For year-to-date excluding the impact of our Bucyrus and EMD acquisitions, incremental operating profit versus 2010 was about 24 percent of incremental sales and revenues. Adjusting for acquisitions and currency, the incremental margin rate was approximately 28 percent.

Incremental Margin Rate excluding EMD, Bucyrus and Currency Impacts							28		%

Q13: Can you comment on the M&PS financial position post the Bucyrus acquisition?

A: Caterpillar’s financial position strengthened in the third quarter of 2011. As a result of our increasing profit and strong cash flow, the M&PS debt-to-capital ratio at September 30, 2011, was 41.1 percent versus 42.6 percent at June 30, 2011.

Q14: Can you comment on your M&PS operating cash flow in 2011?

A: M&PS operating cash flow was $6.1 billion through the third quarter of 2011 compared with $3.3 billion through the third quarter of 2010. In fact, M&PS operating cash flow in the first nine months of 2011 was more than any full year in Caterpillar history. The positive cash flow has been a result of strong profit performance and significant focus on asset management. Our new OPACC metric (Operating Profit After Capital Charge) has helped improve the focus on asset management throughout the company.

Product mix represents the net operating profit impact of changes in the relative weighting of Machinery and Power Systems sales with respect to total sales.

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.

Bucyrus-Related Sales and Profit-Per-Share Impacts

We acquired Bucyrus International, Inc. on July 8, 2011. The third quarter loss was primarily due to inventory step-up, deal-related and integration costs (including severance-related costs), incremental amortization of intangible assets and interest expense, partially offset by operating profit from ongoing operations. We believe it is important to separately quantify the sales and revenues and profit-per-share impacts in order for our 2011 actual results and 2011 outlook to be meaningful to our readers and more comparable to prior period results. Reconciliation of sales and revenues and profit per share excluding Bucyrus impacts to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, is as follows:

(Dollars in billions except per share data)	Third Quarter 2011		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2011		2011 Outlook
Sales and Revenues	$	15.716	$	42.895	$	58

Machinery and Power Systems

Caterpillar defines Machinery and Power Systems as it is presented in the supplemental data as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries with Financial Products accounted for on the equity basis. Machinery and Power Systems 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 26-31 reconcile Machinery and Power Systems with Financial Products on the equity basis to Caterpillar Inc. consolidated financial information.
