Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Basis of Consolidation
CMI is a holding company with no significant operations other than those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CMI and its wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of September 30, 2025, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements (“Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. As a result, these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations.

Income Tax Disclosures. In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which updates income tax disclosures by requiring consistent categories and additional disaggregation of information in the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and is effective for the Company beginning in the annual report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026. The amendments should be applied prospectively; however, retrospective application is permitted. The Company will adopt the disclosure requirements of ASU 2023-09 in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2026, which will result in additional disclosures related to income tax but will not impact the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. In November 2024, the FASB issued amended guidance related to disclosure of disaggregated expenses (“ASU 2024-03”). This amendment requires public business entities to provide detailed disclosures in the notes to financial statements disaggregating specific expense categories, including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, depletion, and intangible asset amortization, as well as certain other disclosures to provide enhanced transparency into the nature and function of expenses. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning with the Company’s annual report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2028, and interim periods following annual adoption, with early adoption permitted. This guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with retrospective application permitted. Management is currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.

Interim Reporting. In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”), to improve the guidance for interim reporting and clarify when that guidance is applicable. This ASU provides a comprehensive list of required interim disclosures and also requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. For the Company, the guidance becomes effective in the first interim period of the fiscal year ended September 30, 2029. Early adoption is permitted. Management is currently evaluating ASU 2025-11 to determine its impact on the Company’s disclosures.
Presentation
Presentation

In the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, the presentation of Principal payments to pay down term loan of $(191.3) million has been reclassified in the nine months ended June 30, 2025 to Principal payments on long-term debt to conform to current year presentation.
Deferred Revenue
Deferred Revenue
Deferred revenue represents collections under contracts before the related product or service is transferred to the customer. The portion of deferred revenue that is anticipated to be recognized as revenue during the succeeding twelve-month period is recorded in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company is subject to various types of market risks, including interest rate risk, foreign currency exchange rate transaction and translation risk and commodity pricing risk. Management may take actions to mitigate the exposure to these types of risks, including entering into forward purchase contracts and other financial instruments. The Company manages a portion of its commodity pricing risks and foreign currency exchange rate risks by using derivative instruments. From time to time, the Company may enter into foreign exchange contracts to mitigate foreign exchange risk. The Company does not seek to engage in trading activities or take speculative positions with any financial instrument arrangement. The Company enters into natural gas derivative instruments and foreign currency derivative instruments with counterparties it views as creditworthy. However, the Company does attempt to mitigate its counterparty credit risk exposures by, among other things, entering into master netting agreements with some of these counterparties. The Company records derivative financial instruments as either assets or liabilities at fair value in its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and the balances were not material as of June 30, 2026 and September 30, 2025.
Derivatives qualify for treatment as hedges when there is a high correlation between the change in fair value of the derivative instrument and the related change in value of the underlying hedged item. Depending on the exposure being hedged, the Company must designate the hedging instrument as a fair value hedge, a cash flow hedge or a net investment in foreign operations hedge. For the qualifying derivative instruments that have been designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the change in fair value is recorded through earnings when the underlying transaction being hedged affects earnings, allowing a derivative’s gains and losses to offset related results from the hedged item in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Any ineffectiveness related to these instruments accounted for as hedges was not material for any of the periods presented. For derivative instruments that have not been designated as hedges, the entire change in fair value is recorded through earnings in the period of change.
