kscarbel2 Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Transport Topics / February 9, 2017 Cummins posted higher fourth-quarter net income and slightly lower revenue. Net income for the period ended Dec. 31 jumped to $378 million, or $2.25 per diluted share, compared with $161 million, or 92 cents, a year earlier. “Despite weak conditions in a number of our largest markets, Cummins delivered fourth-quarter results that were a little better than expected due to our strong market share in on-highway markets in North America and the benefits of our cost reduction work,” said Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger. Revenue was $4.5 billion, down 6% from the same quarter in 2015, largely reflecting lower commercial truck production in North America and weak global demand for industrial engines and power-generation equipment. It shipped 18,500 heavy-duty engines in the quarter, down from 24,300 a year earlier. Medium-duty shipments were 58,000, down 1,700 engines from a year earlier. The Environmental Protection Agency has certified Cummins’ full range of heavy- and medium-duty diesel engines as meeting the 2017 greenhouse gas-emission standards. Net income attributable to Cummins for the full year was $1.39 billion, or $8.23, compared with $1.4 billion, or $7.84, in 2015. Revenue for the full year 2016 was $17.5 billion, 8% lower than in 2015. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
