Financial Summary
Caterpillar is engaged in the manufacturing and marketing of construction and mining equipment, diesel and natural gas engines, and industrial turbines; and also provides financing and insurance services. For the six months ended 6/30/01, revenues rose less than 1% to $10.30 billion. Net income fell 24% to $433 million. Results reflect a higher yield and larger receivables portfolio at Cat Financial, offset by cost inefficiencies due to volume shifts and higher SGA costs.
