Cummins reported first quarter revenues of $6.4 billion increased 5% from the same quarter in 2021. Sales in North America increased 12% while international revenues decreased 3% driven primarily by a slowdown in China.

“Demand for our products remains strong across many of our key markets and regions, resulting in record revenues in the first quarter of 2022,” said Chairman and CEO Tom Linebarger. “We have implemented pricing actions to counter rising input costs, which contributed to solid profitability in the first quarter. Supply chain constraints continue to be a challenge and are limiting growth in our industry.”

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) in the first quarter were $755 million (11.8% of sales), compared to $980 million (16.1% of sales) a year ago.

2022 Outlook

Based on the current forecast, Cummins is raising its full year 2022 revenue guidance to up 8%, an increase from up 6% due to stronger demand in North America and other markets. Full-year 2022 EBITDA is expected to be approximately 15.5%, in line with our previous guidance. The company plans to return approximately 50% of Operating Cash Flow to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
