Question

I'm building a discounted-cash-flow model for Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT). From its most recent annual report (the FY2025 Form 10-K, fiscal year ended December 31, 2025), assemble the inputs I need for an unlevered free-cash-flow DCF: the revenue trajectory (FY2023-FY2025), FY2025 operating profit and the effective tax rate, the non-cash add-backs (depreciation & amortization and stock-based compensation), capital expenditures, operating cash flow and free cash flow, the net-debt bridge (ALL interest-bearing debt plus cash & equivalents), total shareholders' equity and the diluted share count, the below-the-line restructuring charge to normalize, and management's forward growth outlook. Give the as-filed figures.

TL;DR

DCF-input assembly across the 10-K (the valuation use-case) — MetricDuck gathers the multi-source inputs (8 cited sources) an analyst would otherwise grind through by hand.

Building a DCF means assembling a dozen inputs scattered across the 10-K — and the credibility is tracing each back to the filing. From Caterpillar's FY2025 10-K the agent gathered the full unlevered-FCF input set in one pass, citing 8 sources: revenue $67.06B → $64.81B → $67.59B (FY23–25), FY2025 operating profit $11.15B at a 24.0% effective tax rate, D&A $2.26B and SBC $242M, the net-debt bridge ($43.33B total interest-bearing debt − $9.98B cash = $33.35B net debt), $11.74B operating cash flow / $8.92B free cash flow, $21.32B equity and 472.3M diluted shares, plus the restructuring normalizer and management's forward outlook. MetricDuck served every figure; a calculator did the arithmetic (the effective tax rate, the debt bridge, the growth rates), shown in full in the trace.

Restructuring income/costs

Our accounting for employee separations is dependent upon how the particular program is designed. For voluntary programs, we recognize eligible separation costs at the time of employee acceptance unless the acceptance requires explicit approval by the company. For involuntary programs, we recognize eligible costs when management has approved the program, the affected employees have been properly notified and the costs are estimable.
Restructuring costs for 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows:

| (Millions of dollars) | | 2025 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
| Employee separations1 | | $106 | | $64 | | $74 |
| Divestitures1 | | 30 | | 164 | | 586 |

For a discussion of recent accounting pronouncements, see Note 1J — “New accounting guidance” of Part II, Item 8 “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. The more significant estimates include: residual values for leased assets, fair values for goodwill impairment tests, warranty liability, reserves for product liability and insurance losses, postretirement benefits, post-sale discounts, credit losses and income taxes. We have incorporated many years of data into the determination of each of these estimates and we have not historically experienced significant adjustments. We review these assumptions at least annually with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Following are the methods and assumptions used in determining our estimates and an indication of the risks inherent in each.

Residual values for leased assets
— We determine the residual value of Cat Financial’s leased equipment based on its estimated end-of-term market value.  We estimate the residual value of leased equipment at the inception of the lease based on a number of factors, including historical wholesale market sales prices, past remarketing experience and any known significant market/product trends.  We also consider the following critical factors in our residual value estimates: lease term, market size and demand, total expected hours of usage, machine configuration, application, location, model changes, quantities, third-party residual guarantees and contractual customer purchase options.

Residual values for leased assets

— We determine the residual value of Cat Financial’s leased equipment based on its estimated end-of-term market value.  We estimate the residual value of leased equipment at the inception of the lease based on a number of factors, including historical wholesale market sales prices, past remarketing experience and any known significant market/product trends.  We also consider the following critical factors in our residual value estimates: lease term, market size and demand, total expected hours of usage, machine configuration, application, location, model changes, quantities, third-party residual guarantees and contractual customer purchase options.

Upon termination of the lease, the equipment is either purchased by the lessee or sold to a third-party, in which case we may record a gain or a loss for the difference between the estimated residual value and the sale proceeds.

During the term of our leases, we monitor residual values.  For operating leases, we record adjustments to depreciation expense reflecting changes in residual value estimates prospectively on a straight-line basis.  For finance leases, we recognize residual value adjustments through a reduction of finance revenue over the remaining lease term.

[CAT | 10-K FY 2025 | Outlook and Guidance | Chunk 2/7]

We evaluate the carrying value of equipment on operating leases for potential impairment when we determine a triggering event has occurred.  When a triggering event occurs, we perform a test for recoverability by comparing projected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying value of the equipment on operating leases.  If the test for recoverability identifies a possible impairment, we measure the fair value of the equipment on operating leases in accordance with the fair value measurement framework.  We recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value of the equipment on operating leases exceeds its estimated fair value.

At December 31, 2025, the aggregate residual value of equipment on operating leases was $1.57 billion.  Without consideration of other factors such as third-party residual guarantees or contractual customer purchase options, a 10 percent non-temporary decrease in the market value of our equipment subject to operating leases would reduce residual value estimates and result in the recognition of approximately $65 million of additional annual depreciation expense.

Fair values for goodwill impairment tests —
We test goodwill for impairment annually, at the reporting unit level, and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to sell all or a portion of a reporting unit.  We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitor for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis.

Fair values for goodwill impairment tests —

We test goodwill for impairment annually, at the reporting unit level, and whenever events or circumstances make it more likely than not that an impairment may have occurred, such as a significant adverse change in the business climate or a decision to sell all or a portion of a reporting unit.  We perform our annual goodwill impairment test as of October 1 and monitor for interim triggering events on an ongoing basis.

We review goodwill for impairment utilizing either a qualitative assessment or a quantitative goodwill impairment test.  If we choose to perform a qualitative assessment and determine the fair value more likely than not exceeds the carrying value, no further evaluation is necessary.  For reporting units where we perform the quantitative goodwill impairment test, we compare the fair value of each reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill.  If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, we do not consider the goodwill impaired.  If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, we recognize the difference as an impairment loss.

[CAT | 10-K FY 2025 | Outlook and Guidance | Chunk 3/7]

For reporting units where we perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test, the process requires valuation of the respective reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on a discounted five year forecasted cash flow with a year-five residual value.  We compute the residual value using the constant growth method, which values the forecasted cash flows in perpetuity.  The assumptions about future cash flows and growth rates are based on each reporting unit's long-term forecast and are subject to review and approval by senior management.  A reporting unit’s discount rate is a risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital, which we believe approximates the rate from a market participant’s perspective.  The estimated fair value could be impacted by changes in market conditions, interest rates, growth rates, tax rates, costs, pricing and capital expenditures.  We categorize the fair value determination as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to its use of internal projections and unobservable measurement inputs.

The Company completed its annual goodwill impairment tests in the fourth quarter of 2025. Based on those tests, the fair value of each reporting unit was substantially above its respective carrying value, including goodwill, resulting in no impairment charges. Caterpillar's market capitalization has remained significantly above the net book value of the Company.

An unfavorable change in our expectations for the financial performance of our reporting units, particularly long-term growth and profitability, would reduce the fair value of our reporting units.  The demand for our equipment and related parts is highly cyclical and significantly impacted by commodity prices, although the impact may vary by reporting unit.  The energy and mining industries are major users of our products, including the mineral extraction, oil and natural gas industries.  Decisions to purchase our products are dependent upon the performance of those industries, which in turn are dependent in part on commodity prices.  Lower commodity prices or industry specific circumstances that have a negative impact to the valuation assumptions may reduce the fair value of our reporting units.  Should such events occur and it becomes more likely than not that a reporting unit’s fair value has fallen below its carrying value, we will perform an interim goodwill impairment test(s), in addition to the annual impairment test.  Future impairment tests may result in a goodwill impairment, depending on the outcome of the quantitative impairment test.  We would report a goodwill impairment as a non-cash charge to earnings.

Product warranty liability
— At the time we recognize a sale, we record estimated future warranty costs.  We determine the product warranty liability by applying historical claim rate experience to the current field population and dealer inventory.  Generally, we base historical claim rates on actual warranty experience for each product by machine model/engine size by customer or dealer location (inside or outside North America).  We develop specific rates for each product shipment month and update them monthly based on actual warranty claim experience.  Warranty costs may differ from those estimated if actual claim rates are higher or lower than our historical rates.

Product liability and insurance loss reserve
— We determine these reserves based upon reported claims in process of settlement and actuarial estimates for losses incurred but not reported. Loss reserves, including incurred but not reported reserves, are based on estimates, and ultimate settlements may vary significantly from such estimates due to increased claims frequency or severity over historical levels. The amount of these reserves totaled $1.6 billion and $1.5 billion at December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.  The majority of the balance in both 2025 and 2024 consisted of unearned insurance premiums.

Postretirement benefits
— We sponsor defined benefit pension plans and/or other postretirement benefit plans (retirement healthcare and life insurance) to employees in many of our locations throughout the world.  There are assumptions used in the accounting for these defined benefit plans that include discount rate, expected return on plan assets, expected rate of compensation increase, the future health care cost trend rate, mortality and other economic and demographic assumptions.  The actuarial assumptions we use may change or differ significantly from actual results, which may result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

There are assumptions used in the accounting for these defined benefit plans that include discount rate, expected return on plan assets, expected rate of compensation increase, the future health care cost trend rate, mortality and other economic and demographic assumptions.  The actuarial assumptions we use may change or differ significantly from actual results, which may result in a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

The effects of actual results differing from our assumptions and the effects of changing assumptions are considered actuarial gains or losses. We utilize a mark-to-market approach in recognizing actuarial gains or losses immediately through earnings upon the annual remeasurement in the fourth quarter, or on an interim basis as triggering events warrant remeasurement.

Primary actuarial assumptions were determined as follows:

•
The discount rate is used to discount the future benefit obligations back to today’s dollars.  The U.S. discount rate is based on a benefit cash flow-matching approach and represents the rate at which our benefit obligations could effectively be settled as of our measurement date, December 31.  The benefit cash flow-matching approach involves analyzing Caterpillar’s projected cash flows against a high quality bond yield curve, calculated using a wide population of corporate Aa bonds available on the measurement date.  We use a similar approach to determine the assumed discount rate for our most significant non-U.S. plans.  In estimating the service and interest cost components of net periodic benefit cost, we utilize a full yield curve approach in determining a discount rate.  This approach applies the specific spot rates along the yield curve used in the determination of the benefit obligation to the relevant projected cash flows. Discount rates are sensitive to changes in interest rates.

•
The expected rate of return on plan assets is based on our estimate of long-term returns for equities and fixed income securities weighted by the allocation of our plan assets.  This rate is impacted by changes in general market conditions, but because it represents a long-term rate, it is not significantly impacted by short-term market swings.  Changes in our allocation of plan assets would also impact this rate.  For example, a shift to more fixed income securities would lower the rate.  The expected return on plan assets is based on asset allocations as of our measurement date, December 31.

The assumed health care cost trend rate represents the rate at which costs are assumed to increase and is based on historical and expected experience.  Changes in our projections of future health care costs due to general economic conditions and those specific to health care (e.g., technology driven cost changes) will impact this trend rate.

21Thinking

The `mda_outlook` section didn't have the actual forward guidance - it contained critical accounting estimates instead. I need to look at the MDA overview or MDA full section for the forward guidance. Also, I need to compute the effective tax rate from the data I have. From the income tax footnote: - Pre-tax income (U.S. + Non-U.S.): $11,541M (from FY2025 data in Chunk 2, but wait - that $11,541M seems to be a total from a different year. Let me re-read.) - U.S.: $5,407M and Non-U.S.: $6,134M totaling $11,541M - Income tax provision: $2,303M current plus $465M deferred equals $2,768M total - This gives an effective tax rate of about 24%, but I need to verify this is actually the FY2025 pre-tax income by cross-checking against the net income figure. The discrepancy between the calculated pre-tax income and the filed amount suggests I should rely on the tax reconciliation data, which indicates a pre-tax income of approximately $11,541M and an effective tax rate of about 24.0%. Now I need to find the forward guidance. I'm noticing the gross margin calculation seems off—a 99.93% margin doesn't align with Caterpillar's typical business structure, so I should verify the actual P&L figures from the footnotes to ensure I'm working with the correct revenue and cost of goods sold numbers. For the unlevered free cash flow DCF model, I've got the key inputs lined up: revenue figures across the three fiscal years, operating income, an effective tax rate around 24%, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, and I'm pulling together the capital expenditure data. I'm also computing the net debt position from the balance sheet—total debt of $36.21B minus cash of $9.98B gives me net debt of $26.23B—and I have the equity and share count metrics. There's a restructuring charge of $448M to account for, and now I need to pull the forward guidance from the management discussion section to complete the picture.

22Narration

The `mda_outlook` section returned critical accounting estimates rather than the business outlook. Let me fetch the actual forward guidance from the MDA overview and the short-term debt breakdown in parallel.

Trends and Economic Conditions

Outlook for Key End Markets

In Construction Industries, we expect another year of sales of equipment to end users growth in 2026 compared to 2025, supported by elevated order rates and a robust backlog. The outlook for North America remains positive, as sales of equipment to end users should grow moderately compared to 2025 with construction spending remaining healthy due to Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding and other critical infrastructure programs. We also anticipate accelerated investment in data centers, which will further bolster overall construction spending. In 2026, dealer rental fleet loading and dealer's rental revenue are both projected to increase, compared to 2025. In
EAME
, economic conditions in Europe are expected to strengthen, and construction activity in Africa and the Middle East is projected to remain strong. In Asia Pacific, outside of China, moderate economic conditions are expected in 2026. We anticipate positive momentum in China from low levels, with growth in the above 10-ton excavator industry in 2026. Growth in
Latin America
is expected to continue in 2026 at a similar rate to 2025.

[CAT | 10-K FY 2025 | MD&A Overview | Chunk 2/17]

In Resource Industries, sales of equipment to end users is expected to increase in 2026 as compared to 2025, primarily driven by rising demand for copper and gold, and positive growth trends in heavy construction and quarry and aggregates. In mining, most key commodities remain above investment thresholds, and customer product utilization is high while the age of the fleet remains elevated. With modest increases in commodity prices projected in 2026, we expect rebuild activity to increase slightly compared to 2025.

In Power & Energy, we anticipate growth in Power Generation for both reciprocating engines and turbines and turbine-related
services
in 2026, driven by increasing energy demand to support data center build-out related to cloud computing and generative Artificial Intelligence (AI). Additionally, we are starting to see orders for prime power trend higher as data center customers look for alternative power solutions to keep pace with their growth. After reaching record levels in 2025, Oil & Gas is expected to see moderate growth in 2026. Reciprocating engine sales are expected to increase, driven by strong demand in gas compression applications. For turbines and turbine-related services used in Oil & Gas applications, we expect another year of strong sales in 2026 comparable to our record 2025 performance as backlog remains healthy, with continued solid order and inquiry activity. Demand for products in Industrial applications is expected to grow moderately in 2026 as we see continued recovery from previous lows. In Transportation, we anticipate growth in rail services and locomotive deliveries in 2026 compared to 2025.

Full-Year 2026 Company Trends and Expectations

[CAT | 10-K FY 2025 | MD&A Overview | Chunk 3/17]

Our expectations assume the Rail division within Power & Energy, as was the case through year-end 2025. In March 2026, we will file a Form 8-K recasting historical periods to reflect the movement of the Rail division to Resource Industries. This will establish an appropriate baseline for evaluating future segment-level performance and expectations. If necessary, we will also update any segment specific forward-looking assumptions impacted by this change. There will be no impact on the enterprise-wide assumptions due to the Rail division recast.

For the full-year 2026, we anticipate sales and revenues to grow around the top end of our 5 to 7 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) target, as compared to 2025. The strong backlog coupled with healthy end markets supports our expectations for sales volume growth in all three primary segments, as well as favorable price realization of about 2 percent of sales and revenues. We expect machine dealer inventory to increase in 2026 and offset the $500 million decrease in 2025. Services revenues are also expected to grow in 2026 as compared to 2025.

Based on the incremental tariffs announced in 2025 and in place by January 29, 2026, we expect the impact from tariffs to be around $2.6 billion in 2026, which is $800 million higher than incurred in 2025. If we do not take the mitigating actions we plan to take in 2026, the impact from tariffs could be around 20 percent higher. We remain confident that we will manage the impact of tariffs over time.

In 2026, we expect restructuring costs of approximately $300 million to $350 million and capital expenditures of around $3.5 billion. We anticipate our 2026 estimated annual effective tax rate to be 23.0 percent, excluding discrete items.

First-Quarter 2026 Company Trends and Expectations

In the first quarter of 2026 as compared to the first quarter of 2025, we expect stronger sales and revenues primarily due to higher sales volume and favorable price realization. We expect higher sales volume to be mainly driven by higher sales of equipment to end users and by the impact from changes in machine
dealer inventories
. We expect machine dealer inventory to increase in excess of $1.0 billion during the first quarter of 2026, aligning with the seasonal pattern, compared to roughly flat levels in the first quarter of 2025.

[CAT | 10-K FY 2025 | MD&A Overview | Chunk 6/17]

Asia/Pacific sales decreased 2 percent primarily due to unfavorable currency impacts related to the Australian dollar, and lower sales volume. The decrease in sales volume was mainly driven by lower sales of equipment to end users.

Total dealer inventory increased about $900 million during 2025, compared to an increase of about $400 million during 2024. Machine dealer inventory decreased about $500 million during 2025, compared to a decrease of about $700 million during 2024. Dealers are independent, and the reasons for changes in their inventory levels vary, including their expectations of future demand and product delivery times. Dealers’ demand expectations take into account seasonal changes, macroeconomic conditions, machine rental rates and other factors. Delivery times can vary based on availability of product from Caterpillar factories and product distribution centers. We expect machine dealer inventory to increase in 2026 and offset the $500 million decrease in 2025.

29Thinking

Now I have all the information I need. Let me compile the complete DCF inputs: 1. **Revenue Trajectory (FY2023–FY2025)**: - FY2023: $67,060M ($67.06B) - FY2024: $64,809M ($64.81B) - FY2025: $67,589M ($67.59B) - FY2024 vs FY2023: -3.4% - FY2025 vs FY2024: +4.3% 2. **FY2025 Operating Profit and Effective Tax Rate**: - Operating Income: $11,151M with a 16.50% margin - Pre-tax income of $11,541M split between U.S. and non-U.S. operations - Income tax provision of $2,768M yielding an effective tax rate of approximately 24% Let me verify this calculation against the statutory rate to ensure consistency with the filing data. Now I'm looking at the key operating metrics: depreciation and amortization came to $2.26 billion, while stock-based compensation was $242 million in the fiscal year. For capital expenditures, the property and equipment spending was $2.8 billion, though there's an additional $1.5 billion tied to equipment leased through the financing subsidiary—depending on the valuation approach, I might include just the core CapEx or both figures. Operating cash flow hit $11.7 billion with free cash flow of $8.9 billion after accounting for capital spending. On the debt side, I'm reconciling the various borrowing components across both the main business and financial products divisions to get a complete picture of total interest-bearing debt, which appears to be around $43 billion when I add up the short-term borrowings, current portion of long-term debt, and long-term obligations. I see the discrepancy now—the get_financials total of $36,210M excludes the current portion of long-term debt ($7,120M), capturing only the short-term borrowings and the long-term debt due after one year, which means the full interest-bearing debt picture is actually $43,330M when you include that intermediate maturity bucket. With cash of $9,980M, net debt comes to $33,350M. I should note that Caterpillar's Financial Products segment operates as a captive financing arm, so some analysts exclude that debt when modeling the core industrial business, but I'll present the complete balance sheet with that distinction flagged. Now looking at the equity and share count data: shareholders' equity stands at $21,318M with a diluted share count of 472.3M weighted average shares. For the restructuring charges in FY2025, there's $448M total across employee separations, divestitures, contract terminations, and asset impairments, all excluded from segment profit reporting. Looking ahead to 2026, management expects sales growth around the top end of their 5-7% CAGR target with roughly 2% price realization, CapEx guidance of $3.5B, and restructuring costs between $300-350M. The effective tax rate is estimated at 23%, and there's a significant tariff headwind projected at $2.6B—up $800M from 2025's $1.8B impact. the income statement structure: The gross margin reported by MetricDuck looks anomalous (99.9%). This is because Caterpillar structures its income statement differently - their "COGS" (or cost of goods sold) line in the XBRL tags may represent only a small subset. The operating expenses line of $56.44B is more representative. Looking at the actual income statement structure from the filing: From Statement 5 (cash flows) and the overview, we know: - Sales and revenues: $67,589M - Operating profit: $11,151M - Operating margin: 16.5% This seems correct. The anomalous gross margin is a known artifact of how CAT files its XBRL data - they classify their manufacturing costs under "Cost of goods sold" in the operating expenses subtotal, but the XBRL might not always cleanly separate this. For the DCF model, what matters most is: - Operating income I'm noticing the gross margin from MetricDuck appears inflated at 99.9% because Caterpillar's XBRL filing structure doesn't cleanly separate manufacturing costs—they're embedded in the operating expenses rather than isolated as traditional COGS. The actual operating margin of 16.5% based on the $11,151M operating profit against $67,589M in sales is what's meaningful for valuation purposes.

Now I have everything I need to compile the complete DCF input sheet for Caterpillar. Let me organize all the data: **Source filing:** FY2025 Form 10-K, filed 2026-02-13, Accession 0000018230-26-000008 **1. Revenue Trajectory (FY2023–FY2025)** - FY2023: $67,060M - FY2024: $64,809M (−3.4% YoY) - FY2025: $67,589M (+4.3% YoY) **2. FY2025 Operating Profit and Effective Tax Rate** From the 10-K, I can see the operating income came in at $11,151M with a 16.50% margin. The pre-tax income breaks down between U.S. and non-U.S. operations at $5,407M and $6,134M respectively, totaling $11,541M. The company paid $2,768M in income taxes (split between current and deferred), which gives me an effective tax rate of 24.0%. **3. Non-Cash Add-Backs** Depreciation and amortization totaled $2,262M, with stock-based compensation at $242M, bringing the total non-cash add-backs to $2,504M. **4. Capital Expenditures** The company invested $2,821M in property, plant and equipment, plus another $1,465M for equipment leased to others through Cat Financial, totaling $4,286M in capital expenditures. For free cash flow calculations, I'll use the $2,821M figure as the standard approach, though the full investing CapEx is $4,286M. **5. Operating Cash Flow and Free Cash Flow** Operating cash flow came to $11,739M, and after subtracting PP&E CapEx, free cash flow landed at $8,918M with a 13.2% margin. **6. Net-Debt Bridge** Looking at the interest-bearing debt structure, I'm seeing short-term borrowings of $5,514M from Financial Products, current portions of long-term debt totaling $7,120M across both segments, and long-term debt due later of $30,696M, which adds up to $43,330M in total debt. After deducting $9,980M in cash, net debt stands at $33,350M. The machinery and power equipment segment carries $10,713M in gross long-term debt while Financial Products has $32,617M. **7. Total Shareholders' Equity** Total equity is $21,318M, and I'm breaking down the components now. **8. Diluted Share Count** The weighted average diluted shares came in at 472.3M for the year, with period-end shares at 465.3M, resulting in diluted EPS of $18.81. **9. Restructuring Charge** The company took $448M in restructuring charges during the year, primarily driven by $291M in inventory write-downs concentrated in the Rail division, along with $106M in employee separation costs, $30M from divestitures, and smaller charges for contract terminations and asset impairments. These charges are excluded from segment profit and recorded separately in operating expenses. **10. Forward Growth Outlook** For 2026, the company expects revenue growth around the top end of its 5-7% CAGR target (implying roughly 7% growth to approximately $72.3B), with price realization contributing about 2% of sales. All three primary segments are projected to grow, capital expenditures are planned at $3.5B, restructuring charges are estimated at $300-$350M, the effective tax rate is expected around 23%, and tariffs are anticipated to create a $2.6B headwind with roughly $800M incremental impact versus 2025.

### 1. Revenue Trajectory (FY2023–FY2025)
*Source: Consolidated income statement / MD&A overview*

| Fiscal Year | Revenue | YoY Change |
|---|---|---|
| FY2023 | $67,060M | — |
| FY2024 | $64,809M | −3.4% |
| FY2025 | $67,589M | +4.3% |

FY2025 growth was driven by higher sales volume to end users, partially offset by unfavorable price realization. The Power & Energy segment was the primary growth engine (+12% to $32.2B); Construction Industries declined −2%; Resource Industries was flat.

### 2. FY2025 Operating Profit & Effective Tax Rate
*Source: Consolidated income statement; Note on Income Taxes*

| Item | FY2025 |
|---|---|
| Operating Income (EBIT) | $11,151M |
| Operating Margin | 16.50% |
| Pre-tax income (U.S. $5,407M + Non-U.S. $6,134M) | $11,541M |
| Tax provision — Current | $2,303M |
| Tax provision — Deferred | $465M |
| **Total provision for income taxes** | **$2,768M** |
| **Effective Tax Rate** (= $2,768M ÷ $11,541M) | **24.0%** |

The ETR exceeds the 21% statutory rate primarily due to other Non-U.S. jurisdiction effects (+$342M) and state/local taxes (+$160M), partially offset by Switzerland's favorable statutory rate difference (−$310M).

### 6. Net-Debt Bridge — All Interest-Bearing Debt
*Source: Consolidated balance sheet (Statement 3) + Note on Debt and Credit Facilities*

**Gross debt (as-filed, December 31, 2025):**

| Tranche | Amount |
|---|---|
| Short-term borrowings — Financial Products | $5,514M |
| Current portion of LT debt — Machinery, Power & Energy | $35M |
| Current portion of LT debt — Financial Products | $7,085M |
| LT debt due after one year — Machinery, Power & Energy | $10,678M |
| LT debt due after one year — Financial Products | $20,018M |
| **Total interest-bearing debt** | **$43,330M** |

*MP&E-only gross debt:* $10,678M + $35M = **$10,713M** (senior unsecured notes/debentures, effective yield 2.04%–8.64%)  
*Cat Financial gross debt:* $5,514M + $7,085M + $20,018M = **$32,617M** (medium-term notes, w/avg rate 3.8%)

| Bridge item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Total interest-bearing debt | $43,330M |
| Less: Cash & cash equivalents | ($9,980M) |
| **Net debt** | **$33,350M** |

> **DCF note:** Cat Financial is a captive-finance subsidiary. For an industrial-operations-only DCF, many practitioners isolate MP&E net debt ($10,713M gross) and treat Cat Financial separately. For a consolidated approach, use $43,330M gross / $33,350M net.

Upcoming maturities (2026–2030): $7,120M / $8,920M / $7,747M / $3,112M / $1,261M — front-loaded by Cat Financial medium-term note rollovers.

| Profit employed in the business (retained earnings) | $65,448M |
| Accumulated other comprehensive loss | ($1,772M) |
| **Total shareholders' equity** | **$21,318M** |

### 9. Restructuring Charge to Normalize (Below-the-Line)
*Source: Note on Restructuring and Related Charges*

| Component | FY2025 | FY2024 | FY2023 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Employee separations | $106M | $64M | $74M |
| Divestitures | $30M | $164M | $586M |
| Contract terminations | $4M | $7M | $7M |
| Long-lived asset impairments | $17M | $6M | $3M |
| Other (primarily inventory write-downs, Rail division) | $291M | $118M | $110M |
| **Total restructuring costs** | **$448M** | **$359M** | **$780M** |

All FY2025 restructuring costs were **excluded from segment profit** (the $448M flows through "Other operating (income) expenses" and Cost of goods sold). Add back **$448M pre-tax** (= ~$341M after-tax at 24.0% ETR) to normalize EBIT/NOPAT for a recurring earnings base. The elevated "Other" bucket ($291M) primarily reflects inventory write-downs in the Rail division related to restructuring.
