Table of ContentsPART IITEM 1.BusinessOVERVIEWWe were founded in 1919 as Cummins Engine Company, a corporation in Columbus, Indiana and one of the first diesel engine manufacturers. In 2001, we changed our name toCummins Inc. We are a global power leader that designs, manufactures, distributes and services diesel, natural gas, electric and hybrid powertrains and powertrain-relatedcomponents including filtration, aftertreatment, turbochargers, fuel systems, controls systems, air handling systems, automated transmissions, electric power generation systems,batteries, electrified power systems, hydrogen production and fuel cell products. We sell our products to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), distributors, dealers andother customers worldwide. We serve our customers through a network of over 500 wholly-owned, joint venture and independent distributor locations and over 9,000 Cumminscertified dealer locations with service to approximately 190 countries and territories.COVID-19The outbreak of the coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) spread throughout the world and became a global pandemic with the resultant economic impacts evolving into aworldwide recession. The pandemic triggered a significant downturn in our markets globally, which continued to unfavorably impact market conditions throughout 2020 andthese challenging market conditions could continue for an extended period of time. In an effort to contain the spread of COVID-19, maintain the well-being of our employeesand stakeholders, match the reduced demand from our customers and in accordance with governmental requirements, we closed or partially shut down certain office,manufacturing, distribution and technical center facilities around the world in March 2020. Although most of our manufacturing, distribution and technical center facilities reopened early in the second quarter of 2020, some operated at reduced capacities, most of our global office buildings remained closed through the remainder of 2020. Despitemany of our markets recovering in the second half of 2020, the ongoing spread of the virus prior to widespread vaccination presents several risks to our business, especially inthe first half of 2021.COVID-19 vaccines are currently being administered around the world with the hope that the majority of the population will have access to the vaccine by the middle of 2021. Ifthe distribution and the effectiveness of the vaccine are consistent with current government and health organization estimates, we anticipate the vaccine will mitigate the spreadof the virus by the end of 2021 and allow a return to more normal operations in the second half of the year.OPERATING SEGMENTSWe have five complementary operating segments: Engine, Distribution, Components, Power Systems and New Power. These segments share technology, customers, strategicpartners, brand recognition and our distribution network in order to compete more efficiently and effectively in their respective markets. In each of our operating segments, wecompete worldwide with a number of other manufacturers and distributors that produce and sell similar products. Our products primarily compete on the basis of performance,price, total cost of ownership, fuel economy, emissions compliance, speed of delivery, quality and customer support.We use segment earnings or losses before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization and noncontrolling interests (EBITDA) as the primary basis for theChief Operating Decision Maker to evaluate the performance of each of our reportable operating segments. We believe EBITDA is a useful measure of our operatingperformance as it assists investors and debt holders in comparing our performance on a consistent basis without regard to financing methods, capital structure, income taxes ordepreciation and amortization methods, which can vary significantly depending upon many factors. See Note 22, "OPERATING SEGMENTS," to the Consolidated FinancialStatements for additional information and a reconciliation of our segment information to the corresponding amounts in ourConsolidated Statements of Net Income.Engine SegmentEngine segment sales and EBITDA as a percentage of consolidated results were:Years ended December 31,2020Percent of consolidated net sales(1)Percent of consolidated EBITDA(1)(1)201932 %41 %Measured before intersegment eliminations5201834 %41 %35 %41 %
