) were $148 million, also a single quarter record for the Company. The EBIT represents 7.0 percent of sales, well within the Company's targeted performance range.

"Our second-quarter results were outstanding and reflect our customers' very positive reactions to our product line," said Tim Solso, Cummins Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Sales were very good in all segments, profits were up significantly and margins strong."

Record second-quarter sales of $2.12 billion were 38 percent higher than the $1.54 billion reported for the same period in 2003. Cummins previous sales record was $1.84 billion in the fourth quarter of 1999.

For the first six months of the year, the Company reported net earnings of $115 million - or $2.53 a share on a fully diluted basis - on sales of $3.9 billion.

As a result of continued performance improvement, Cummins has today increased its earnings guidance for the full year. The Company now expects to earn between $5.55 and $5.75 a share in 2004, up from the previous guidance of $4.40 - $4.60 a share.

"We are extremely pleased with the improving results in today's second-quarter report," Solso said. "Even as we are benefiting from the strengthening conditions in many of our markets, we continue to work hard to control costs, raise quality and improve our customer service to position Cummins for sustained growth in 2004 and beyond."

Earnings were negatively affected, however, by high commodity costs - especially steel - which resulted in an additional $5 million in materials costs during the quarter. For the quarter, the business reported Segment EBIT of $24 million, compared to $25 million during the second quarter of 2003.

International Distributor Segment

Sales for the International Distributor business rose 30 percent from the second quarter of 2003 to $220 million in the most recent quarter. The unit earned Segment EBIT of $14 million, up from $12 million for the same period in 2003. Sales were up across all geographic regions, with most distributors achieving sales growth in excess of 10 percent.

The Company's Middle East and Africa distributors saw sales rise a combined 84 percent over the same period last year, while sales in Northeast Asia Often used interchangeably with the term 'East Asia,' Northeast Asia is, as its name implies, in the geographic northeast region of Asia.

Earnings Guidance

In addition to increasing its guidance for the full year, the Company today issued guidance for the third quarter of $1.30-$1.40 a share.

(1) Prior to January 1, 2004, intersegment transactions between the
    Engine segment and the Power Generation segment and between the
    Filtration and Other segment and the Engine segment were reported
    at cost and no sale reported by the transferor segment. Beginning
    January 1, 2004, this inter-segment activity is reflected in the
    sales and unit shipments of the transferor segments at a market
    based transfer price discounted for certain items; further,
    certain intersegment cost allocations to the transferor segments
    have been eliminated. In addition, certain engines made by the
    Engine segment and sold to International Distributors through
    Power Generation were previously recorded as a sale to Power
    Generation; however under the new methodology Power Generation
    records a sales commission. We believe the methodology change
    allows our segment management to focus on those pricing decisions
    and cost structuring actions that are within their control. As a
    result of the change in methodology in the three and six months
    ended June 27, 2004, sales in the Engine segment increased $128
    million and $217 million, respectively, sales in the Power
    Generation segment decreased $8 million and $17 million,
    respectively, sales in the Filtration and Other segment increased
    $53 million and $100 million, respectively and eliminations
    increased $173 million and $300 million, respectively. The impact
    on segment EBIT was immaterial for each segment in both periods.


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (Unaudited)

Earnings before interest, taxes, minority interests and preferred dividends preferred dividend n. a payment of a corporation's profits to holders of preferred shares of stock. (See: preferred stock)  (EBIT)

We define EBIT as earnings before interest, taxes, minority interest, preferred dividends and the cumulative effect of any accounting changes. We use EBIT to assess and measure the performance of our operating segments and also as a component in measuring our variable compensation programs.
