Overview Total sales and revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were $16.569 billion, a decrease of $120 million, or 1 percent, compared with $16.689 billion in the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was primarily due to unfavorable price realization of $414 million, partially offset by higher sales volume of $237 million and higher Financial Products ' revenues of $46 million. Higher sales volume was mainly driven by higher sales of equipment to end users. 48 Table of Contents Second-quarter 2025 profit per share was $4.62, compared with $5.48 profit per share in the second quarter of 2024. In the second quarter of 2025 and 2024, profit per share included restructuring costs. Profit for the second quarter of 2025 was $2.179 billion, a decrease of $502 million, or 19 percent, compared with $2.681 billion for the second quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to unfavorable manufacturing costs . Unfavorable manufacturing costs largely reflected the impact of higher tariffs. Trends and Economic Conditions Outlook for Key End Markets We continue to see strong orders across our three primary segments as demand remains resilient supported by infrastructure spending and growing energy needs. As a result, the backlog increased by about $2.5 billion with increases across all three primary segments. In Construction Industries, we are encouraged by another quarter of higher sales of equipment to end users, strong order rates across many of our regions, and backlog growth. Customers continue to be responsive to the attractive rates we are offering through Cat Financial. As a result, we anticipate growth in sales of equipment to end users in 2025 despite softness in the global industry. In North America, overall construction spending remains at healthy levels and infrastructure projects funded by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) continue to be awarded. We now expect growth for sales of equipment to end users in North America in 2025. Dealer rental revenues are also expected to grow and dealer rental fleet loading is expected to increase in the second half of 2025. In Asia Pacific, we anticipate growth in sales of equipment to end users in 2025. China is showing positive momentum, and we expect growth in the above 10-ton excavator industry, but from a very low level of activity. In Asia Pacific, outside of China, we expect economic conditions to be soft. In EAME , we expect moderate growth in sales of equipment to end users in 2025, driven by healthy construction activity in Africa and the Middle East and improving economic conditions in Europe. Despite weaker construction activity in Latin America , we expect growth in sales of equipment to end users in 2025. In Resource Industries, we currently anticipate lower sales of equipment to end users for 2025 compared to 2024, as customers continue to display capital discipline. However, we see positive momentum with strong order rates and backlog growth, particularly for large mining and articulated trucks. Although most key commodities remain above investment thresholds, declining coal prices have caused an increase in the number of parked trucks. As a result, we expect slightly lower rebuild activity throughout the second half of 2025. Overall, customer product utilization remains high, and the age of the fleet remains elevated. We also continue to see growing demand and customer acceptance of our autonomous solutions. We believe the evolving energy landscape will support increased commodity demand over time providing further opportunities for long-term profitable growth. In Energy & Transportation, the backlog growth was driven by robust order activity in Power Generation, Oil and Gas, and Transportation. For Power Generation, we expect growth in 2025 as demand remains strong for both prime and backup power applications, driven by increasing energy demands to support data center growth related to cloud computing and generative artificial intelligence (AI). In Oil and Gas, we expect moderate growth in 2025. For Oil and Gas reciprocating engines and services, we continue to expect softness in well servicing due to ongoing capital discipline by our customers, industry consolidation and efficiency improvements in our customers’ operations. Also within Oil and Gas, we do see positive momentum in demand for reciprocating engines used in gas compression applications. For turbines and turbine-related services used in Oil and Gas applications, backlog remains strong, and we see healthy order and inquiry activity. Demand for products in Industrial applications is expected to improve from previous low levels. Transportation is expected to remain stable. Full-Year 2025 Company Trends and Expectations We are optimistic about our sales and revenues expectations. Demand signals have remained healthy, including backlog growth across our three primary segments. For 2025, we expect slightly higher sales and revenues as compared to 2024, with a stronger second half of 2025 than is typical. Services revenues are expected to be about flat for 2025 as compared to 2024. The environment continues to be dynamic. The incremental tariffs announced in 2025 and expected to be in place on August 7 will be a headwind to profitability during the remainder of the year. While we have taken initial mitigating actions to reduce the impact, tariff and trade negotiations continue to be fluid. We will remain flexible, and we intend to implement longer-term actions once there is sufficient certainty. We are considering all options to further reduce the impact from incremental tariffs going forward. Based on the incremental tariffs announced in 2025 and expected to be in place on August 7, we expect the incremental tariff impact for 2025 to be around $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion, net of some mitigating actions and cost controls. This assumes higher net incremental tariff impacts in both the third and fourth quarters compared to the second-quarter level. Due to the timing of recent rate changes, the impact is likely to be larger in the fourth quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2025. 49 Table of Contents In 2025, we expect restructuring costs of approximately $300 to $350 million and capital expenditures of around $2.5 billion. We are evaluating the impact from recently enacted U.S. legislation and do not expect a material impact on the estimated annual effective tax rate of 23.0 percent in 2025. Second-Half 2025 Company Trends and Expectations We anticipate higher machine sales volume, including growth in sales of equipment to end users, in the second half of 2025 as compared to the second half of 2024. We also continue to expect machine dealer inventory will be about flat for the full-year 2025 as compared to 2024, which implies an increase in the second half of 2025 as compared to a decrease in the second half of 2024. In Energy & Transportation, we expect higher sales in the second half of 2025 compared to the second half of 2024. We expect unfavorable price realization in the second half of 2025 as compared to the second half of 2024, although we expect it to be less unfavorable than the first half of 2025 as compared to the first half of 2024. Third-Quarter 2025 Company Trends and Expectations In the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, we expect moderately higher sales and revenues, primarily driven by higher sales volume across all three primary segments. In Construction Industries, we expect higher sales in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable price realization. We expect higher sales volume to be mainly driven by higher sales of equipment to end users. Though the year-over-year price comparison begins to ease in the third quarter of 2025, we expect our sales merchandising programs will continue to support higher sales of equipment to end users. The unfavorable impact of price realization in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 is expected to be about half of the impact in the second quarter of 2025 when compared to the second quarter of 2024. In Resource Industries, in the third quarter of 2025, we expect slightly higher sales as compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily due to higher sales volume, partially offset by unfavorable price realization. The unfavorable impact of price realization in the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024 is expected to be similar to the impact in the second quarter of 2025 as compared to the second quarter of 2024. In Energy & Transportation, in the third quarter of 2025, we anticipate higher sales as compared to the third quarter of 2024, primarily driven by continued strength in Power Generation. We also expect higher sales in Oil and Gas, driven by turbines and turbine-related services. Price realization is expected to remain favorable. In the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, excluding the net impact from incremental tariffs, we expect the profit impact of higher sales volume to be about offset by unfavorable price realization and higher selling, general and administrative (SG&A) and research and development (R&D) expenses. In the third quarter of 2025, we expect a net incremental tariff impact of about $400 to $500 million. In the third quarter of 2025 as compared to the third quarter of 2024, in Construction Industries, excluding the net impact from incremental tariffs, we expect the profit impact of higher sales volume will be about offset by unfavorable price realization. We expect about 55 percent of the net incremental tariff impact will be incurred in Construction Industries. In Resource Industries, excluding the net impact from incremental tariffs, we expect unfavorable price realization and higher SG&A/R&D expenses. We expect about 20 percent of the net incremental tariff impact will be incurred in Resource Industries. In Energy & Transportation, excluding the net impact from incremental tariffs, we expect profit impact of higher sales volume and favorable price realization, partially offset by higher manufacturing costs. We expect about 25 percent of the net incremental tariff impact will be incurred in Energy & Transportation. Global Business Conditions We continue to monitor a variety of external factors around the world, such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary cost, labor pressures and the impact of trade policies. Areas of particular focus include transportation, certain components and raw materials. We continue to work to minimize supply chain challenges that may impact our ability to meet customer demand. We continue to assess the environment to determine if additional actions need to be taken. Risk Factors Risk factors are disclosed within Item 1A. Risk Factors of the 2024 Form 10-K.

The increase was mainly due to a favorable impact from equity securities of $28 million and a favorable impact from higher average earning assets of $20 million, partially offset by higher provision for credit losses at Cat Financial of $13 million and an unfavorable impact from lower net yield on average earning assets of $10 million. At the end of the second quarter of 2025, past dues at Cat Financial were 1.62 percent, compared with 1.74 percent at the end of the second quarter of 2024. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $18 million for both the second quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2025, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $290 million, or 0.94 percent of finance receivables, compared with $282 million, or 0.95 percent of finance receivables at March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2024 was $267 million, or 0.91 percent of finance receivables. Corporate Items and Eliminations Expense for corporate items and eliminations was $602 million in the second quarter of 2025, an increase of $15 million from the second quarter of 2024. Lower restructuring costs, primarily due to the absence of the divestiture of two non-U.S. entities in 2024, and lower corporate costs, were more than offset by increased expenses due to timing differences, an unfavorable change in fair value adjustments related to deferred compensation plans and unfavorable impacts of segment reporting methodology differences. 55 Table of Contents SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2025 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2024 CONSOLIDATED SALES AND REVENUES The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated sales and revenues between the six months ended June 30, 2024 (at left) and the six months ended June 30, 2025 (at right).

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Sources of funds We generate significant capital resources from operating activities, which are the primary source of funding for our ME&T operations. Funding for these businesses is also available from commercial paper and long-term debt issuances. Financial Products’ operations are funded primarily from commercial paper, term debt issuances and collections from its existing portfolio. On a consolidated basis, we had positive operating cash flow in the first six months of 2025 and ended the second quarter with $5.442 billion of cash, a decrease of $1.447 billion from year-end 2024. In addition, ME&T invests in available-for-sale debt securities and bank time deposits that are considered highly liquid and are available for current operations. These ME&T securities were $1.221 billion as of June 30, 2025 and are included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets and Other assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. We intend to maintain a strong cash and liquidity position. Consolidated operating cash flow for the first six months of 2025 was $4.411 billion, down $662 million compared to the same period a year ago. The decrease was primarily due to lower profit before taxes adjusted for non-cash items partially offset by changes in working capital. Within working capital, changes in accounts payable and customer advances favorably impacted cash flow, partially offset by changes in inventories. Total debt as of June 30, 2025 was $40.748 billion, an increase of $2.339 billion from year-end 2024. Debt related to ME&T increased $2.103 billion in the first six months of 2025 primarily due to the issuance of new debt in the second quarter of 2025. ME&T issued $1.700 billion of ten-year bonds at 5.2 percent and $300 million of thirty-year bonds at 5.5 percent. The proceeds from the offering will be used for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment of existing indebtedness. Debt related to Financial Products increased $1.265 billion, of which $1.000 billion is related to intercompany borrowings with ME&T. As of June 30, 2025, we had three global credit facilities with a syndicate of banks totaling $10.500 billion (Credit Facility) available in the aggregate to both Caterpillar and Cat Financial for general liquidity purposes. Based on management’s allocation decision, which can be revised from time to time, the portion of the Credit Facility available to ME&T as of June 30, 2025 was $2.750 billion. Information on our Credit Facility is as follows: 63 Table of Contents • The 364-day facility of $3.150 billion (of which $825 million is available to ME&T) expires in August 2025. • The three-year facility, as amended in August 2024, of $2.730 billion (of which $715 million is available to ME&T) expires in August 2027. • The five-year facility, as amended in August 2024, of $4.620 billion (of which $1.210 billion is available to ME&T) expires in August 2029. At June 30, 2025, Caterpillar’s consolidated net worth was $18.726 billion, which was above the $9.000 billion required under the Credit Facility. The consolidated net worth is defined in the Credit Facility as Caterpillar's consolidated shareholders’ equity including preferred stock but excluding the pension and other postretirement benefits balance within Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). At June 30, 2025, Cat Financial’s covenant interest coverage ratio was 1.51 to 1. This was above the 1.15 to 1 minimum ratio calculated as (1) profit excluding income taxes, interest expense and net gain (loss) from interest rate derivatives to (2) interest expense calculated at the end of each fiscal quarter for the prior four consecutive fiscal quarter period, required by the Credit Facility. In addition, at June 30, 2025, Cat Financial’s six-month covenant leverage ratio was 7.18 to 1. This was below the maximum ratio of debt to net worth of 10 to 1, calculated (1) on a monthly basis as the average of the leverage ratios determined on the last day of each of the six preceding calendar months and (2) at each December 31, required by the Credit Facility. In the event Caterpillar or Cat Financial does not meet one or more of their respective financial covenants under the Credit Facility in the future (and are unable to obtain a consent or waiver), the syndicate of banks may terminate the commitments allocated to the party that does not meet its covenants. Additionally, in such event, certain of Cat Financial’s other lenders under other loan agreements where similar financial covenants or cross default provisions are applicable may, at their election, choose to pursue remedies under those loan agreements, including accelerating the repayment of outstanding borrowings. At June 30, 2025, there were no borrowings under the Credit Facility. The aforementioned financial covenants are being reported as calculated under the Credit Facility and not pursuant to U.S. GAAP. Please refer to the credit agreements governing the Credit Facility filed as an exhibit to our periodic reports for further information related to the calculation thereof. For risks related to our indebtedness and compliance with these covenants, please refer to the risk factor "Restrictive covenants in our debt agreements could limit our financial and operating flexibility" set forth in Part I, Item 1A of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K. Our total credit commitments and available credit as of June 30, 2025 were: June 30, 2025 (Millions of dollars) Consolidated Machinery, Energy & Transportation Financial Products Credit lines available: Global credit facilities $ 10,500 $ 2,750 $ 7,750 Other external 4,084 617 3,467 Total credit lines available 14,584 3,367 11,217 Less: Commercial paper outstanding (3,985) — (3,985) Less: Utilized credit (800) — (800) Available credit $ 9,799 $ 3,367 $ 6,432 The other external consolidated credit lines with banks as of June 30, 2025 totaled $4.084 billion. These committed and uncommitted credit lines, which may be eligible for renewal at various future dates or have no specified expiration date, are used primarily by our subsidiaries for local funding requirements. Caterpillar or Cat Financial may guarantee subsidiary borrowings under these lines. 64 Table of Contents We receive debt ratings from the major credit rating agencies. Fitch maintains a "high-A" debt rating, while Moody’s and S&P maintain a “mid-A” debt rating. A downgrade of our credit ratings by any of the major credit rating agencies could result in increased borrowing costs and could make access to certain credit markets more difficult. In the event economic conditions deteriorate such that access to debt markets becomes unavailable, ME&T’s operations would rely on cash flow from operations, use of existing cash balances, borrowings from Cat Financial and access to our committed credit facilities. Our Financial Products’ operations would rely on cash flow from its existing portfolio, existing cash balances, access to our committed credit facilities and other credit line facilities of Cat Financial, and borrowings from Caterpillar. In addition, we maintain a support agreement with Cat Financial, which requires Caterpillar to remain the sole owner of Cat Financial and may, under certain circumstances, require Caterpillar to make payments to Cat Financial should Cat Financial fail to maintain certain financial ratios. We facilitate voluntary supplier finance programs (the “Programs”) through participating financial institutions. We account for the payments made under the Programs, the same as other accounts payable, as a reduction to our cash flows from operations. We do not believe that changes in the availability of the programs will have a significant impact on our liquidity. Additional information related to the programs is included in Note 21 – "Supplier finance programs" of Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements." Machinery, Energy & Transportation Net cash provided by operating activities was $3.862 billion in the first six months of 2025, compared with net cash provided of $4.573 billion for the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to lower profit before taxes, adjusted for non-cash items, partially offset by lower working capital requirements. Within working capital, changes in customer advances and accounts payable favorably impacted cash flow but were partially offset by changes in inventories. Net cash used by investing activities in the first six months of 2025 was $1.530 billion, compared with net cash provided of $1.381 billion in the first six months of 2024. The change was primarily due to lower proceeds from maturities and sale of securities, primarily due to time deposit maturities in 2024; increased activity related to intercompany lending with Financial Products; and an increase in capital expenditures. Net cash used for financing activities during the first six months of 2025 was $4.050 billion, compared with net cash used of $8.573 billion in the same period of 2024. The change was primarily due to higher proceeds from debt issued, lower payments to purchase common stock and lower payments on debt in the first six months of 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. While our short-term priorities for the use of cash may vary from time to time as business needs and conditions dictate, our long-term cash deployment strategy is focused on the following priorities. Our top priority is to maintain a strong financial position in support of a mid-A rating. Next, we intend to fund operational requirements and commitments. Then, we intend to fund priorities that profitably grow the company and return capital to shareholders through dividend growth and share repurchases. Additional information on cash deployment is as follows: Strong financial position – Our top priority is to maintain a strong financial position in support of a mid-A rating. We track a diverse group of financial metrics that focus on liquidity, leverage, cash flow and margins which align with our cash deployment actions and the various methodologies used by the major credit rating agencies. Operational excellence and commitments – Capital expenditures were $1.287 billion during the first six months of 2025, compared to $841 million for the same period in 2024. We expect ME&T’s capital expenditures in 2025 to be about $2.5 billion. We made $276 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the first six months of 2025. We currently anticipate full-year 2025 contributions of approximately $354 million. In comparison, we made $172 million of contributions to our pension and other postretirement benefit plans during the first six months of 2024. Fund strategic growth initiatives and return capital to shareholders – We intend to utilize our liquidity and debt capacity to fund targeted investments that drive long-term profitable growth focused in the areas of expanded offerings, services and sustainability, including acquisitions. 65 Table of Contents As part of our capital allocation strategy, ME&T free cash flow is a liquidity measure we use to determine the cash generated and available for financing activities including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. We define ME&T free cash flow as cash from ME&T operations less capital expenditures, excluding discretionary pension and other postretirement benefit plan contributions. A goal of our capital allocation strategy is to return substantially all ME&T free cash flow to shareholders over time in the form of dividends and share repurchases, while maintaining our mid-A rating. Each quarter, our Board of Directors reviews the company’s dividend for the applicable quarter. The Board evaluates the financial condition of the company and considers corporate cash flow, the company’s liquidity needs, the economic outlook, and the health and stability of global credit markets to determine whether to maintain or change the quarterly dividend. In June 2025, the Board of Directors approved a seven percent increase in the quarterly dividend to $1.51 per share, and we continue to expect our strong financial position to support the dividend. Dividends paid totaled $1.336 billion in the first six months of 2025. Our share repurchase plans are subject to the company’s cash deployment priorities and are evaluated on an ongoing basis considering the financial condition of the company, corporate cash flow, the company’s liquidity needs, the economic outlook, and the health and stability of global credit markets. The timing and amount of future repurchases may vary depending on market conditions and investing priorities. In May 2022, the Board approved a share repurchase authorization (the 2022 Authorization) of up to $15.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock effective August 1, 2022, with no expiration. In June 2024, the Board approved an additional share repurchase authorization (the 2024 Authorization) of up to $20.0 billion of Caterpillar common stock, effective June 12, 2024, with no expiration. In the first six months of 2025, we repurchased $4.488 billion of Caterpillar common stock. As of June 30, 2025, the 2022 Authorization was fully utilized and $15.640 billion remained available under the 2024 Authorization. Our basic shares outstanding as of June 30, 2025 were approximately 468 million. Financial Products Net cash provided by operating activities was $597 million in the first six months of 2025, compared with $715 million for the same period in 2024. Net cash used for investing activities was $990 million in the first six months of 2025, compared with $1.351 billion for the same period in 2024. The change was primarily due to portfolio related activity and the 2024 divestiture of a non-U.S. subsidiary. Net cash provided by financing activities was $670 million in the first six months of 2025, compared with $635 million for the same period in 2024. The change was primarily due to increased intercompany borrowings from ME&T, partially offset by decreased external borrowings. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 2 – “New accounting guidance” of Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements." CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES For a discussion of the company’s critical accounting estimates, see Part II, Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting estimates since our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K. OTHER MATTERS Information related to legal proceedings appears in Note 14 – "Environmental and legal matters" of Part I, Item 1 “Financial Statements.” Order Backlog At the end of the second quarter of 2025, the dollar amount of backlog believed to be firm was approximately $37.5 billion, about $2.5 billion higher than the first quarter of 2025. The order backlog increased across the primary segments, with the largest increase in Energy & Transportation. Of the total backlog at June 30, 2025, approximately $10.3 billion was not expected to be filled in the following twelve months. 66 Table of Contents NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES We provide the following definitions for the non-GAAP financial measures used in this report. These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning prescribed by U.S. GAAP and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to the calculation of similar measures for other companies. Management does not intend these items to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. We believe it is important to separately quantify the profit impact of two significant items in order for the company’s results to be meaningful to our readers. These items consist of (i) other restructuring income/costs and (ii) restructuring income/costs related to the divestitures of certain non-U.S. entities in 2024. We do not consider these items indicative of earnings from ongoing business activities and believe the non-GAAP measure provides investors with useful perspective on underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing the company’s period-over-period results. Reconciliations of adjusted results to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are as follows: (Dollars in millions except per share data) Operating Profit Operating Profit Margin Profit Before Taxes Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes Profit Profit per Share Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 - U.S. GAAP $ 2,860 17.3 % $ 2,818 $ 646 $ 2,179 $ 4.62 Other restructuring (income) costs 56 0.3 % 56 12 47 0.10 Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 - Adjusted $ 2,916 17.6 % $ 2,874 $ 658 $ 2,226 $ 4.72 Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 - U.S. GAAP $ 3,482 20.9 % $ 3,500 $ 836 $ 2,681 $ 5.48 Restructuring costs - divestiture of two non-U.S. entities 228 1.3 % 228 — 228 0.47 Other restructuring (income) costs 30 0.2 % 30 6 24 0.04 Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 - Adjusted $ 3,740 22.4 % $ 3,758 $ 842 $ 2,933 $ 5.99 Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 - U.S. GAAP $ 5,439 17.6 % $ 5,388 $ 1,220 $ 4,182 $ 8.82 Other restructuring (income) costs 88 0.3 % 89 20 72 0.15 Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 - Adjusted $ 5,527 17.9 % $ 5,477 $ 1,240 $ 4,254 $ 8.97 Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 - U.S. GAAP $ 7,001 21.5 % $ 7,032 $ 1,524 $ 5,537 $ 11.23 Restructuring (income) costs - divestitures of certain non-U.S. entities 164 0.5 % 164 54 110 0.22 Other restructuring (income) costs 88 0.3 % 88 20 68 0.14 Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 - Adjusted $ 7,253 22.3 % $ 7,284 $ 1,598 $ 5,715 $ 11.59 We believe it is important to separately disclose our annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items for our results to be meaningful to our readers. The annual effective tax rate is discussed using non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the effects of amounts associated with discrete items recorded fully in the quarter they occur. These items consist of (i) the settlement of stock-based compensation awards with associated tax deductions in excess of cumulative U.S. GAAP compensation expense and (ii) restructuring income/costs related to the divestitures of certain non-U.S. entities in 2024. We believe the non-GAAP measures will provide investors with useful perspective on underlying business results and trends and aids with assessing the company's period-over-period results. 67 Table of Contents A reconciliation of our effective tax rate to annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items is below: (Millions of dollars) Profit Before Taxes Provision (Benefit) for Income Taxes Effective Tax Rate Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 - U.S. GAAP $ 2,818 $ 646 23.0 % Excess stock-based compensation — 1 Annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items 2,818 647 23.0 % Excess stock-based compensation — (1) Other restructuring (income) costs 56 12 Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 - Adjusted $ 2,874 $ 658 Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 - U.S. GAAP $ 3,500 $ 836 23.9 % Restructuring costs - divestiture of two non-U.S. entities 228 — Excess stock-based compensation — 4 Annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items 3,728 840 22.5 % Excess stock-based compensation — (4) Other restructuring (income) costs 30 6 Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 - Adjusted $ 3,758 $ 842 Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 - U.S. GAAP $ 5,388 $ 1,220 22.6 % Excess stock-based compensation — 18 Annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items 5,388 1,238 23.0 % Excess stock-based compensation — (18) Other restructuring (income) costs 89 20 Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 - Adjusted $ 5,477 $ 1,240 Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 - U.S. GAAP $ 7,032 $ 1,524 21.7 % Restructuring (income) costs - divestitures of certain non-U.S. entities 164 54 Excess stock-based compensation — 42 Annual effective tax rate, excluding discrete items 7,196 1,620 22.5 % Excess stock-based compensation — (42) Other restructuring (income) costs 88 20 Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 - Adjusted $ 7,284 $ 1,598 In addition, we provide a calculation of ME&T free cash flow as we believe it is an important measure for investors to determine the cash generation available for financing activities including debt repayments, dividends and share repurchases. 68 Table of Contents Reconciliations of ME&T free cash flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measure, net cash provided by operating activities are as follows: (Millions of dollars) Six Months Ended June 30, 2025 2024 ME&T net cash provided by operating activities 1 $ 3,862 $ 4,573 ME&T capital expenditures (1,287) (841) ME&T free cash flow $ 2,575 $ 3,732 1 See reconciliation of ME&T net cash provided by operating activities to consolidated net cash provided by operating activities on pages 76 - 77 . Supplemental Consolidating Data We are providing supplemental consolidating data for the purpose of additional analysis. The data has been grouped as follows: Consolidated – Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries. Machinery, Energy & Transportation – We define ME&T as it is presented in the supplemental data as Caterpillar Inc. and its subsidiaries, excluding Financial Products. ME&T’s information relates to the design, manufacturing and marketing of our products. Financial Products – We define Financial Products as it is presented in the supplemental data as our finance and insurance subsidiaries, primarily Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation (Cat Financial) and Caterpillar Insurance Holdings Inc. (Insurance Services). Financial Products’ information relates to the financing to customers and dealers for the purchase and lease of Caterpillar and other equipment. Consolidating Adjustments – Eliminations of transactions between ME&T and Financial Products. The nature of the ME&T and Financial Products 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 believe this presentation will assist readers in understanding our business.
