 and medium-duty trucks, bus and construction equipment markets. 2003 was a record sales year for the Dodge Ram pickup, with Cummins shipping 128,200 engines - a 28 percent increase over 2002. The Power Generation Business reported earnings of $14 million in the quarter, returning to profitability on the strength of higher volume and cost-reduction improvements. Strong sales in China helped boost income from joint ventures and alliances to a record $70 million for 2003, more than three times the income earned in the previous year. Cummins received cash of $22 million from joint ventures in 2003 and expects to receive nearly twice that amount in 2004 as a result of established dividend distribution policies. Free cash flow for the quarter was $94 million.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(Unaudited)

Earnings before interest, taxes, minority interests and preferred
dividends (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 operating
performance of our business and our business segments and also as a
component in measuring our variable compensation programs. Below is a
reconciliation of EBIT, a non-GAAP financial measure, to our
consolidated net earnings, a GAAP measure, for each of the applicable
periods:

Free cash flow

We use free cash flow as a measure of our business segments ability to
generate cash. In addition, we have provided guidance to the
investment community on our expectations of free cash flow for 2003.
We define free cash flow as the sum of cash flows from operating and
investing activities, both of which are GAAP measures included in our
Statements of Cash Flows, adjusted to exclude cash flows from the
acquisition or disposition of certain business activities, receivable
transactions, sales-leaseback transactions and transactions related to
marketable securities, none of which we consider to be within the
control of our business segment management. Below is a reconciliation
of the GAAP measures of cash flows from operating activities and cash
flows from investing activities to the non-GAAP measure of free cash
flow.
