FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE








Cat Financial Announces Second-Quarter 2024 Results


Cat Financial reported second-quarter 2024 revenues of $865 million, an increase of $72 million, or 9%, compared with $793 million in the second quarter of 2023. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a $50 million favorable impact from higher average financing rates and a $32 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets. Second-quarter 2024 loss was $65 million, a decrease of $215 million, or 143%, compared with $150 million profit in the second quarter of 2023.


Second-quarter 2024 loss before income taxes was $18 million, mainly driven by a $210 million loss on divestiture of a non-U.S. entity. Excluding the loss on divestiture, second-quarter 2024 profit before income taxes was $192 million, a decrease of $13 million, or 6%, compared with $205 million profit in the second quarter of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to $27 million in higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by $16 million due to the absence of prior year unfavorable currency impacts.


The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2024 was $47 million on $18 million loss before income taxes compared with $52 million on $205 million profit before income taxes for the second quarter of 2023. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was negatively impacted by the loss on divestiture of a non-U.S. entity with no related tax benefit.


During the second quarter of 2024, retail new business volume was $3.41 billion, an increase of $260 million, or 8%, compared with $3.15 billion in the second quarter of 2023. The increase was primarily driven by higher volume in North America.


At the end of the second quarter of 2024, past dues were 1.74%, compared with 2.15% at the end of the second quarter of 2023. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $18 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared with $8 million for the second quarter of 2023. As of June 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses totaled $254 million, or 0.89% of finance receivables, compared with $281 million, or 1.01% of finance receivables at March 31, 2024. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2023 was $331 million, or 1.18% of finance receivables.
