Cummins’ second quarter revenues of $6.6 billion were an increase of 8 percent from the same quarter in 2021. Sales in North America increased 15 percent while international revenues decreased 2 percent, driven primarily by a slowdown in China and the indefinite suspension of the company’s operations in Russia.
“The company achieved record revenues and solid profitability in the second quarter of 2022, with demand for our products remaining strong across most of our key markets and regions, apart from China,” said President and CEO Jennifer Rumsey. “Employees across our organization have worked tirelessly in the face of supply chain challenges and rising costs that continue to impact our industry. While navigating these challenges, we will continue to focus on enabling our customers’ success, driving cycle-over-cycle improvement in financial performance, investing in sustainable solutions that will protect our planet for future generations and returning excess cash to shareholders.”
Net income attributable to Cummins in the second quarter was $702 million to $600 million in 2021.
Other highlights during the quarter include Cummins being ranked No. 4 on Forbes 2022 list of the Best Employers for Diversity, its highest ranking ever on that particular list, and it was named to 3BL Media’s list of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens.
During the quarter Cummins announced collaborations with Daimler Truck North America and Scania to deliver fuel cell electric powertrains for heavy-duty truck applications, and with Komatsu on the development of zero-emissions haulage equipment, including hydrogen fuel cell solutions for large mining haul truck applications. Cummins, Chevron, and Walmart are also working together to integrate Cummins X15N natural gas engine, powered by renewable natural gas, into Walmart’s heavy-duty truck fleet.
Rumsey is now president and CEO, as well as chief operating officer. She is the seventh CEO, and first female, in the company’s history. Tom Linebarger, Cummins long-standing CEO, assumed the role of executive chairman, which includes continuing to serve as chairman on the board of directors and taking on select executive responsibilities, such as the pending acquisition of Meritor.
