NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.Basis of Presentation

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of (a) the consolidated profit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, (b) the consolidated comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, (c) the consolidated financial position at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, (d) the consolidated changes in shareholder’s equity for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025 and (e) the consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts. Significant estimates include residual values for leased assets, allowance for credit losses and income taxes. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (2025 Form 10-K). The December 31, 2025 financial position data included herein was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2025 Form 10-K but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cat Financial and a consolidated variable interest entity (VIE). We consolidate all VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. For VIEs, we assess whether we are the primary beneficiary as prescribed by the accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIEs. Please refer to Note 7 for more information.

We have customers and dealers that are VIEs of which we are not the primary beneficiary. Our maximum exposure to loss from our involvement with these VIEs is limited to the credit risk inherently present in the financial support that we have provided. Credit risk was evaluated and reflected in our financial statements as part of our overall portfolio of finance receivables and related allowance for credit losses.

2.New Accounting Pronouncements

A.Adoption of New Accounting Standards

We consider the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standards Updates (ASUs). We determined that the ASUs effective January 1, 2026 were either not applicable or did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

B. Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Adopted

Disaggregation of income statement expenses (ASU 2024-03) - In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued accounting guidance to enhance transparency into the nature and function of income statement expenses. The amendments require that, on an annual and interim basis, entities disclose disaggregated operating expense information about specific categories, including employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. The expanded annual disclosures are effective for our year ending December 31, 2027, and the expanded interim disclosures are effective in 2028, with early adoption permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of this new guidance on the related disclosures.

Internal-use software costs (ASU 2025-06) - In September 2025, the FASB issued accounting guidance to modernize the accounting for internal-use software costs. Under this guidance, capitalization for internal-use software costs begins when management has authorized and committed to funding the project and it is probable the project will be completed, and the software will be used to perform the intended function. This guidance is effective January 1, 2028, with early adoption permitted, and can be applied on a prospective basis, a modified basis for in-process projects, or a retrospective basis. We are in the process of evaluating the effect of this new guidance on our financial statements.

All other ASUs issued but not yet adopted were assessed, and we determined that they either were not applicable or were not expected to have a material impact on our financial statements.

3.Finance Receivables

A summary of finance receivables included in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position was as follows:


(Millions of dollars)	September 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Retail loans(1)	$	20,086	$	19,218
Retail finance leases	6,620		6,870
Caterpillar purchased receivables	6,924		5,500
Wholesale loans(1)	2,673		1,511

Total finance receivables	36,303		33,099
Less: Allowance for credit losses	(332)		(284)
Total finance receivables, net	$	35,971	$	32,815

(1) Includes failed sale leasebacks.

Finance leases

Leases classified as sales-type or direct financing are reported as finance leases. Revenues from finance leases were $117 million and $120 million for the three months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, and $355 million and $350 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Revenues from finance leases are included in retail finance revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Profit.

A.Allowance for credit losses

Portfolio segments

A portfolio segment is the level at which we develop a systematic methodology for determining our allowance for credit losses. Our portfolio segments and related methods for estimating expected credit losses are as follows:

Customer

We provide loans and finance leases to end-user customers primarily for the purpose of financing new and used Caterpillar machinery, engines and equipment for commercial use. We also provide financing for power generation facilities that incorporate Caterpillar products. The average original term of our customer finance receivables portfolio was approximately 51 months with an average remaining term of approximately 28 months as of September 30, 2026.

We typically maintain a security interest in financed equipment and generally require physical damage insurance coverage on the financed equipment, both of which provide us with certain rights and protections. If our collection efforts fail to bring a defaulted account current, we generally can repossess the financed equipment, after satisfying local legal requirements, and sell it within the Caterpillar dealer network or through third-party auctions.

We estimate the allowance for credit losses related to our customer finance receivables based on loss forecast models utilizing probabilities of default and our estimated loss given default based on past loss experience adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts capturing country and industry-specific economic factors.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, our forecasts reflected global market and geopolitical uncertainty and actions by global central banks aimed at balancing economic growth and managing inflation. We believe the economic forecasts employed represent reasonable and supportable forecasts, followed by a reversion to long-term trends.

Dealer

We provide financing to Caterpillar dealers on a secured and unsecured basis in the form of wholesale financing plans and retail loans. Our wholesale financing plans provide financing to dealers for their new Caterpillar equipment inventory and rental fleets. The retail loans to dealers are primarily for working capital.

We estimate the allowance for credit losses for dealer finance receivables based on historical loss rates with consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

In general, our Dealer portfolio segment has not historically experienced large increases or decreases in credit losses based on changes in economic conditions due to our close working relationships with the dealers and their financial strength. Therefore, we made no adjustments to historical loss rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Caterpillar Purchased Receivables

We purchase receivables from Caterpillar, primarily related to the sale of equipment and parts to dealers. Caterpillar purchased receivables are non-interest-bearing short-term trade receivables that are purchased at a discount.

We estimate the allowance for credit losses for Caterpillar purchased receivables based on historical loss rates with consideration of current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

In general, our Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segment has not historically experienced large increases or decreases in credit losses based on changes in economic conditions due to the short-term maturities of the receivables, our close working relationships with the dealers and their financial strength. Therefore, we made no adjustments to historical loss rates during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026.

Classes of finance receivables

We further evaluate our portfolio segments by the class of finance receivables, which is defined as a level of information (below a portfolio segment) in which the finance receivables have the same initial measurement attribute and a similar method for assessing and monitoring credit risk. Our classes, which align with management reporting for credit losses, are as follows:

•North America - Finance receivables originated in the United States and Canada.

•EAME - Finance receivables originated in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Eurasia.

•Asia/Pacific - Finance receivables originated in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and India.

•Latin America - Finance receivables originated in Mexico and Central and South American countries.

•Mining - Finance receivables originated worldwide related primarily to large mining customers.

•Power - Finance receivables originated worldwide related to large power customers of Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems.

An analysis of the allowance for credit losses was as follows:

B.Credit quality of finance receivables

At origination, we evaluate credit risk based on a variety of credit quality factors including prior payment experience, customer financial information, credit ratings, loan-to-value ratios, probabilities of default, industry trends, macroeconomic factors and other internal metrics. On an ongoing basis, we monitor credit quality based on past-due status as there is a meaningful correlation between the past-due status of customers and the risk of loss. In determining past-due status, we consider the entire finance receivable past due when any installment is over 30 days past due.

There were no finance receivables in our Dealer portfolio segment on non-accrual status as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Modifications

We periodically modify the terms of our finance receivable agreements. Typically, the types of modifications granted are payment deferrals, interest-only payment periods and/or term extensions. Many modifications we grant are for commercial reasons or for borrowers experiencing some form of short-term financial stress and may result in insignificant payment delays. We do not consider these borrowers to be experiencing financial difficulty. Modifications for borrowers we do consider to be experiencing financial difficulty typically result in payment deferrals and/or reduced payments for a period of four months or longer, term extension of six months or longer, or a combination of both.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, there were no finance receivable modifications granted to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in our Dealer or Caterpillar Purchased Receivables portfolio segments.

The ending amortized cost of finance receivables modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty in our Customer portfolio segment was as follows:


(Millions of dollars)	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2026			2025			2026			2025
Amortized cost of finance receivables modified	$	8		$	19		$	31		$	37
Modifications as a percentage of Customer portfolio	0.03		%	0.08		%	0.12		%	0.15		%

The financial effects of term extensions and payment delays for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were as follows:


(In months)	Three Months Ended September 30,		Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2026	2025	2026	2025
Weighted average extension to term of modified contracts	10	20	10	17
Weighted average payment deferral and/or interest only periods	7	5	7	6

After we modify a finance receivable, we continue to track its performance under its most recent modified terms. Defaults of loans modified in the prior twelve months were not significant during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025.

The effect of most modifications made to finance receivables for borrowers experiencing financial difficulty is already included in the allowance for credit losses based on the methodologies used to estimate the allowance; therefore, a change to the allowance for credit losses is generally not recorded upon modification. On rare occasions when principal forgiveness is provided, the amount forgiven is written off against the allowance for credit losses.

4.Derivative Financial Instruments and Risk Management

Our earnings and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. Our Risk Management Policy allows for the use of derivative financial instruments to prudently manage foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate exposures. Our policy specifies that derivatives are not to be used for speculative purposes. Derivatives that we use are primarily foreign currency forward, option and cross currency contracts and interest rate contracts. Our derivative activities are subject to the management, direction and control of our senior financial officers. We present at least annually to our Board of Directors and the Audit Committee of the Caterpillar Board of Directors on our risk management practices, including our use of derivative financial instruments.

We recognize all derivatives at their fair value in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the derivative instrument is (1) designated as a hedge of the fair value of a recognized asset or liability (fair value hedge), (2) designated as a hedge of a forecasted transaction or the variability of cash flows (cash flow hedge) or (3) undesignated. We record in current earnings changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a fair value hedge, along with the gain or loss on the hedged recognized asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk. For foreign exchange contracts designated as fair value hedges, the interim settlements are excluded from the effectiveness assessment and are recognized under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument within Interest expense. We record in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (AOCI) changes in the fair value of a derivative that is qualified, designated and highly effective as a cash flow hedge, to the extent effective, in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position until we reclassify them to earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. We report changes in the fair value of undesignated derivative instruments in current earnings. We classify cash flows from designated derivative financial instruments within the same category as the item being hedged in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. We include cash flows from undesignated derivative financial instruments in the investing category in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

We formally document all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow.

We also formally assess, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the designated derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair value or cash flow of hedged items. When a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable, we discontinue hedge accounting prospectively, in accordance with the derecognition criteria for hedge accounting.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk

We have balance sheet positions and expected future transactions denominated in foreign currencies, thereby creating exposure to movements in exchange rates. In managing foreign currency risk, our objective is to minimize earnings volatility resulting from conversion and the remeasurement of net foreign currency balance sheet positions and future transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our policy allows the use of foreign currency forward, option and cross currency contracts to offset the risk of currency mismatch between our assets and liabilities and exchange rate risk associated with future transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Our foreign currency forward and option contracts are primarily undesignated. We designate fixed-to-fixed cross currency contracts as cash flow hedges to protect against movements in exchange rates on foreign currency fixed-rate assets and liabilities. We designate float-to-float cross currency contracts as fair value hedges to protect against movements in exchange rates on floating-rate assets and liabilities.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate movements create a degree of risk by affecting the amount of our interest receipts and payments on our finance receivables and debt portfolios. Our practice is to use interest rate contracts to manage our exposure to interest rate changes.

We have a match-funding policy that addresses interest rate risk by aligning the interest rate profile (fixed or floating rate and duration) of our debt portfolio with the interest rate profile of our finance receivables portfolio within predetermined ranges on an ongoing basis. In connection with that policy, we use interest rate derivative instruments to modify the debt structure to match assets within the finance receivables portfolio. This matched funding reduces the volatility of margins between interest-bearing assets and interest-bearing liabilities, regardless of which direction interest rates move.

Our policy allows us to use fixed-to-floating, floating-to-fixed and floating-to-floating interest rate contracts to meet the match-funding objective. We designate fixed-to-floating interest rate contracts as fair value hedges to protect debt against changes in fair value due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. We designate most floating-to-fixed interest rate contracts as cash flow hedges to protect against the variability of cash flows due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. If we liquidate fixed-to-floating or floating-to-fixed interest rate contracts, we amortize any deferred gains or losses into earnings over the remaining term of the previously hedged item.

The location and fair value of derivative instruments reported in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position were as follows:

The total notional amount of our derivative instruments was $22.51 billion and $18.21 billion as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. The notional amounts of derivative financial instruments do not represent amounts exchanged by the parties. We calculate the amounts exchanged by the parties by referencing the notional amounts and by other terms of the derivatives, such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

As of September 30, 2026, less than $1 million of deferred net gains, net of tax, included in equity (AOCI in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position), related to our cash flow hedges, are expected to be reclassified to earnings over the next twelve months. The actual amount recorded in earnings will vary based on interest rates and exchange rates at the time the hedged transactions impact earnings.

We enter into International Swaps and Derivatives Association master netting agreements that permit the net settlement of amounts owed under their respective derivative contracts. Under these master netting agreements, net settlement generally permits us or the counterparty to determine the net amount payable for contracts due on the same date and in the same currency for similar types of derivative transactions. The master netting agreements may also provide for net settlement of all outstanding contracts with a counterparty in the case of an event of default or a termination event. Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties is limited to only those gains that we have recorded, but for which we have not yet received cash payment.

Collateral is typically not required of the counterparties or us under the master netting agreements. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, no cash collateral was received or pledged under the master netting agreements.

The effects of net settlement provisions of the master netting agreements on our derivative balances upon an event of default or a termination event were as follows:

6.Segment Information

A. Basis for Segment Information

Our executive office is comprised of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM) and five Vice Presidents. Each of our regional operating segments: North America, EAME, Asia/Pacific and Latin America is led by a Vice President. The Mining and Power operating segments are led by one Vice President. Our CEO allocates resources and manages operating performance at the Vice President level.

B. Description of Segments

Our operating segments provide financing alternatives to customers and dealers around the world for Caterpillar products and services and power generation facilities that incorporate Caterpillar products. Financing plans include operating and finance leases, revolving charge accounts, retail loans, working capital loans to Caterpillar dealers and wholesale financing plans within each of the operating segments. Certain operating segments also purchase short-term trade receivables from Caterpillar.

We have six operating segments that offer financing services. Following is a brief description of our segments:

•North America - Includes our operations in the United States and Canada.

•EAME - Includes our operations in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and Eurasia.

•Asia/Pacific - Includes our operations in Australia, New Zealand, China, Japan, Southeast Asia and India.

•Latin America - Includes our operations in Mexico and Central and South American countries.

•Mining - Provides financing worldwide primarily to large mining customers.

•Power - Provides financing worldwide to large power customers of Caterpillar electrical power generation, gas compression and co-generation systems and non-Caterpillar equipment that is powered by these systems.

C. Segment Measurement and Reconciliations

We determine segment profit on a pretax basis. Cash, debt and other expenses are allocated to our segments based on their respective portfolios. Interest expense is calculated based on the amount of allocated debt and the rates associated with that debt using a consistent leverage ratio.

Our CODM uses segment profit to evaluate the performance of each segment by monitoring key performance metrics to identify trends and evaluate which segments require additional resources or strategic adjustments. The CODM also uses segment profit to support the allocation of resources predominantly in the annual budget and forecasting process and monitors forecast-to-actual variances monthly.

Reconciling items are created based on accounting differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting. The following is a list of significant reconciling items:

•Unallocated - Corporate requirements and strategies that are considered to be for the benefit of the entire organization, including notes receivable from Caterpillar. Also included are the consolidated results of the special-purpose corporation (SPC) (see Note 7 for additional information).

•Timing - Timing differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting.

•Methodology - Methodology differences between segment reporting and consolidated external reporting are as follows:

◦The impact of differences between the actual leverage and the segment leverage ratios.

◦Interest expense includes realized forward points on foreign currency forward contracts within segment reporting.

◦Segment results include off-balance sheet managed assets for which we maintain servicing responsibilities.

◦Designated derivative activity is excluded from segment results, except where hedging specific segment exposures.

Supplemental segment data and reconciliations to consolidated external reporting for the three months ended September 30 were as follows:

7.Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Guarantees

We provide credit guarantees and residual value guarantees to third parties for financing and leasing associated with Caterpillar machinery. In addition, we provide standby letters of credit issued to third parties on behalf of our customers. These guarantees and standby letters of credit have varying terms.

No significant loss has been experienced or is anticipated under any of these guarantees. At September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the related recorded liability was less than $1 million. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted and without reduction for any amounts that may possibly be recovered under recourse or collateralized provisions) we could be required to make under the guarantees was $31 million and $25 million at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

We provide guarantees to purchase certain loans of Caterpillar dealers from an SPC that qualifies as a VIE. We receive a fee for providing this guarantee. The purpose of the SPC is to provide short-term working capital loans to Caterpillar dealers. This SPC issues commercial paper and uses the proceeds to fund its loan program. We are the primary beneficiary of the SPC as our guarantees result in us having both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPC’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses, and therefore we have consolidated the financial statements of the SPC. As of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the SPC’s assets of $1.26 billion and $1.19 billion, respectively, were primarily comprised of loans to dealers, which are included in Finance receivables, net in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, and the SPC’s liabilities of $1.26 billion and $1.19 billion, respectively, were primarily comprised of commercial paper, which is included in Short-term borrowings in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The assets of the SPC are not available to pay our creditors. We may be obligated to perform under the guarantee if the SPC experiences losses. No loss has been experienced or is anticipated under this loan purchase agreement.

Litigation and claims

We are involved in unresolved legal actions that arise in the normal course of business. The aggregate range of reasonably possible losses in excess of accrued liabilities, if any, associated with these unresolved legal actions is not material. In some cases, we cannot reasonably estimate a range of loss because there is insufficient information regarding the matter. However, we believe there is no more than a remote chance that any liability arising from these matters would be material. Although it is not possible to predict with certainty the outcome of our unresolved legal actions, we believe that these unresolved legal actions will neither individually nor in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

8.Fair Value Disclosures

A.Fair Value Measurements

The guidance on fair value measurements defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. This guidance also specifies a fair value hierarchy based upon the observability of inputs used in valuation techniques. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

•Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level 2 – Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets.

•Level 3 – Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value-drivers are unobservable.

When available, we use quoted market prices to determine fair value and we classify such measurements within Level 1. In some cases where market prices are not available, we make use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the measurements are classified within Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon valuations in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including internally developed models that use, where possible, current market-based parameters such as interest rates, yield curves and currency rates. These measurements are classified within Level 3.

We classify fair value measurements according to the lowest level input or value-driver that is significant to the valuation. We may therefore classify a measurement within Level 3 even though there may be significant inputs that are readily observable.

Fair value measurement includes the consideration of nonperformance risk. Nonperformance risk refers to the risk that an obligation (either by a counterparty or us) will not be fulfilled. For financial assets traded in an active market, the nonperformance risk is included in the market price. For certain other financial assets and liabilities, our fair value calculations have been adjusted accordingly.

Derivative financial instruments

The fair value of interest rate contracts is primarily based on a standard industry accepted valuation model that utilizes the appropriate market-based forward swap curves and zero-coupon interest rates to determine discounted cash flows. The fair value of foreign currency forward and cross currency contracts is based on standard industry accepted valuation models that discount cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate.

Derivative financial instruments are measured on a recurring basis at fair value and are classified as Level 2 measurements. We had derivative financial instruments included in our Consolidated Statements of Financial Position in a net liability position of $98 million and a net asset position of $125 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. See Note 4 for additional information.

B.Fair Values of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash (included in Other assets in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position) and Short-term borrowings are classified as Level 1 measurements and carrying amount approximates fair value. We use the following methods and assumptions to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments not carried at fair value:

•Finance receivables, net – We estimate fair value by discounting the future cash flows using current rates representative of receivables with similar remaining maturities.

•Long-term debt – We estimate fair value for fixed and floating-rate debt based on quoted market prices.

Fair values of our financial instruments not carried at fair value were as follows:


(Millions of dollars)	September 30, 2026				December 31, 2025
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Fair Value Levels	Reference
Assets
Finance receivables, net (excluding finance leases(1))	$	28,847	$	28,247	$	25,346	$	25,012	3	Note 3
Liabilities
Long-term debt	$	29,696	$	29,536	$	27,103	$	27,204	2

(1) Represents finance leases and failed sale leasebacks of $7.12 billion and $7.47 billion as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Certain loans are subject to measurement at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are classified as Level 3 measurements. These are loans for which the company has determined that collection of contractual amounts due is not probable. Generally, the fair value of these receivables is measured using the fair value of collateral less estimated selling costs. We had loans carried at fair value of $64 million and $63 million as of September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Revenues

We reported third-quarter 2026 revenues of $1.02 billion, an increase of $95 million, or 10 percent, compared with $926 million in the third quarter of 2025. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a favorable impact from higher average earning assets of $125 million, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates of $38 million.

Retail revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $499 million, an increase of $25 million from the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to a favorable impact from higher average earning assets of $30 million, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates on retail finance receivables of $5 million. For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, retail average earning assets were $26.64 billion, an increase of $1.49 billion from the same period in 2025. The annualized average yield was 7.49 percent for the third quarter of 2026, compared with 7.54 percent for the third quarter of 2025.

Operating lease revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $241 million, an increase of $10 million from the same period in 2025. The increase was primarily due to a favorable impact from higher average earning assets of $15 million, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from lower rental rates on operating leases of $5 million.

Wholesale revenue for the third quarter of 2026 was $230 million, an increase of $46 million from the same period in 2025. The increase was due to a favorable impact from higher average earning assets of $86 million, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates on wholesale finance receivables of $40 million. For the quarter ended September 30, 2026, wholesale average earning assets were $9.05 billion, an increase of $2.97 billion from the same period in 2025. The annualized average yield was 10.19 percent for the third quarter of 2026, compared with 12.07 percent for the third quarter of 2025.

Other revenue, net items were as follows:


(Millions of dollars)	Three Months Ended September 30,

The chart above graphically illustrates reasons for the change in consolidated profit before income taxes between third quarter 2025 (at left) and third quarter 2026 (at right). Management utilizes these charts internally to visually communicate results.

Third-quarter 2026 profit before income taxes was $194 million, an increase of $10 million, or 5 percent, compared with $184 million profit for the third quarter of 2025. The increase was mainly driven by a favorable impact from higher average earning assets of $52 million and a favorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment of $8 million, partially offset by higher provision for credit losses of $34 million and an unfavorable impact from margin of $19 million.

There was a favorable impact from currency translation on profit before income taxes of $3 million in the third quarter of 2026. Currency translation represents the net impact from converting the results of our subsidiaries to U.S. dollar reporting currency and is included in all financial statement line items.

The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 included a $10 million expense for a valuation allowance against the deferred tax assets of a non-U.S. subsidiary.

FINANCE RECEIVABLES AND EQUIPMENT ON OPERATING LEASES

New Business Volume


(Millions of dollars)	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2026		2025		Change
New retail financing	$	9,928	$	9,294	$	634
New retail operating lease activity	1,029		899		130
New wholesale financing	53,620		41,592		12,028
Total	$	64,577	$	51,785	$	12,792

New retail financing increased due to higher volume across all segments. The increase in new retail operating lease activity was mainly driven by higher rentals of Caterpillar equipment in Mining, North America, and EAME. New wholesale financing increased primarily due to higher purchases of trade receivables from Caterpillar.

Total Managed Portfolio

We define total portfolio as Finance receivables, net plus Equipment on operating leases, net. We also manage and service receivables and leases that have been sold by us to third parties with limited or no recourse in order to mitigate our concentration of credit risk with certain customers. These assets are not available to pay our creditors. Total managed portfolio was as follows:


(Millions of dollars)	September 30, 2026		December 31, 2025		Change
Finance receivables, net	$	35,971	$	32,815	$	3,156
Equipment on operating leases, net	2,993		2,927		66
Total portfolio	$	38,964	$	35,742	$	3,222

Retail loans	$	199	$	99	$	100
Retail leases	27		27		—
Operating leases	6		8		(2)
Total off-balance sheet managed assets	$	232	$	134	$	98

Total managed portfolio	$	39,196	$	35,876	$	3,320

Total Portfolio Metrics

At the end of the third quarter of 2026, past dues were 1.31 percent, compared with 1.47 percent at the end of the third quarter of 2025. Total non-performing finance receivables, which represent finance receivables currently on non-accrual status, were $168 million and $163 million at September 30, 2026 and at December 31, 2025, respectively. Total non-performing finance receivables as a percentage of our finance receivables were less than 1 percent at September 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $28 million for the third quarter of 2026, compared with $40 million for the third quarter of 2025.

Our allowance for credit losses as of September 30, 2026 was $332 million, or 0.91 percent of finance receivables, compared with $284 million, or 0.86 percent, as of December 31, 2025. The allowance is subject to an ongoing evaluation based on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including past loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of underlying collateral and economic forecasts. We believe our allowance is sufficient to provide for losses over the remaining life of our finance receivables portfolio as of September 30, 2026.

Global Business Conditions

Caterpillar continues to monitor a variety of external factors around the world, such as supply chain disruptions, inflationary costs, labor pressures and the impact of trade policies. We are monitoring the potential downstream impacts from these factors on our business, while remaining focused on portfolio health and continuing to provide qualified customers and dealers with new financing to support their current and future business needs.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Maintaining and managing adequate capital and liquidity resources includes management of funding sources and their utilization based on current, future and contingent needs. Throughout the third quarter of 2026, we experienced favorable liquidity conditions. We ended the third quarter of 2026 with $662 million of cash, an increase of $129 million from year-end 2025. Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world with approximately $200 million held by our non-U.S. subsidiaries. Amounts held by non-U.S. subsidiaries are available for general corporate use and could be used in the U.S. without incurring significant additional U.S. taxes. We expect to meet our U.S. funding needs without repatriating undistributed profits that are indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S.

Borrowings

Borrowings consist primarily of medium-term notes and commercial paper, the combination of which is used to manage interest rate risk and funding requirements.

We receive debt ratings from the major credit rating agencies. Fitch and Moody's maintain a “high-A” debt rating, while S&P maintains 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, we would rely on cash flows from our existing portfolio, existing cash balances, access to our committed credit facilities and other credit line facilities, and potential borrowings from Caterpillar. In addition, Caterpillar maintains a support agreement with us, which requires Caterpillar to remain our sole owner and may, under certain circumstances, require Caterpillar to make payments to us should we fail to maintain certain financial ratios.

Total borrowings outstanding as of September 30, 2026 were $36.08 billion, an increase of $2.44 billion from December 31, 2025. Outstanding borrowings were as follows:


(Millions of dollars)	September 30, 2026		December 31, 2025
Medium-term notes, net	$	28,958	$	26,437
Commercial paper, net of unamortized discount	4,717		5,408

Notes payable to Caterpillar	1,526		1,024
Other	1		1
Total outstanding borrowings	$	36,077	$	33,641

Medium-term notes

We issue medium-term unsecured notes through securities dealers or underwriters in the U.S., Europe and other international capital markets. These notes are offered in several currencies and with a variety of maturities. These notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company. Medium-term notes issued totaled $10.02 billion and redeemed totaled $7.12 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2026. Medium-term notes, net outstanding as of September 30, 2026 mature as follows:

Total	$	28,958

Commercial paper

We issue unsecured commercial paper in the U.S., Europe and other international capital markets. These short-term promissory notes are issued on a discounted basis and are payable at maturity.

Revolving credit facilities

As of September 30, 2026, we had three global credit facilities with a syndicate of banks totaling $11.50 billion (Credit Facility) available in the aggregate to both Caterpillar and us 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 us as of September 30, 2026 was $8.63 billion. Information on our Credit Facility is as follows:

•In August 2026, we entered into a new 364-day facility of $3.50 billion (of which $2.63 billion is available to us), which expires in August 2027.

•In August 2026, we amended and extended the three-year facility (as amended and restated, the "three-year facility"). The three-year facility of $3.00 billion (of which $2.25 billion is available to us) expires in August 2029.

•In August 2026, we amended and extended the five-year facility (as amended and restated, the "five-year facility"). The five-year facility of $5.00 billion (of which $3.75 billion is available to us) expires in August 2031.

At September 30, 2026, Caterpillar’s consolidated net worth was $21.55 billion, which was above the $9.00 billion required covenant in 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 September 30, 2026, our covenant interest coverage ratio was 1.53 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 in the Credit Facility.

In addition, at September 30, 2026, our six-month covenant leverage ratio was 8.01 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 in the Credit Facility.

In the event that either Caterpillar or we do not meet one or more of our 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 our 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 September 30, 2026, 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 exhibits 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 2025 Form 10-K.

Bank borrowings

Available credit lines with banks as of September 30, 2026 totaled $3.39 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 non-U.S. subsidiaries for local funding requirements. We may guarantee subsidiary borrowings under these lines. As of September 30, 2026, we were in compliance with all debt covenants under these credit lines.

Notes receivable from/payable to Caterpillar

Under our variable amount and term lending agreements with Caterpillar, we may borrow up to $3.56 billion from Caterpillar and Caterpillar may borrow up to $2.33 billion from us. Most variable amount lending agreements are in effect for indefinite periods of time and may be changed or terminated by either party with 30 days’ notice. The term lending agreements have remaining maturities ranging up to approximately eight years.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We are a party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements, primarily in the form of guarantees. Please refer to Note 7 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Cash Flows

Net cash provided by operating activities was $772 million in the first nine months of 2026, compared with $724 million for the same period in 2025. Net cash used for investing activities was $3.43 billion in the first nine months of 2026, compared with $2.03 billion for the same period in 2025. The change was primarily due to portfolio-related activity. Net cash provided by financing activities was $2.78 billion in the first nine months of 2026, compared with $1.41 billion for the same period in 2025. The change was due to increased external borrowing activity, partially offset by decreased borrowings from Caterpillar.
