Cummins scores record high for four years in a row. International business outside the United States accounts for 54%, China increases by 50%.

Diversification strategy drives steady growth in performance

In 2007, Cummins's annual sales reached a record high of US$13 billion, a 15% increase from the 11.4 billion in 2006; EBITDA was US$1.23 billion (equivalent to 9.4% of sales), an increase of 4% over the previous year; The net profit was US$739 million, an increase of 3%.

Last year, the North American heavy truck market fell by nearly 50% due to the adverse effects of the new US Federal Environmental Protection Agency's new emissions regulations that took effect at the beginning of the year. However, Cummins's long-standing strategy of market application and geographic diversification has once again exerted enormous power - almost all of the company's North American heavy trucks The application market and overseas regional markets all maintained rapid growth, effectively countering the adverse effects of the weak North American market, and driving the company’s overall performance to continue to maintain double-digit growth.

At the same time, the reliability, durability, and fuel economy of Cummins's 2007 emissions standard based on a CEGR + particulate filter (DPF) are widely recognized by large fleet customers in North America. In 2007, Cummins’ market share in North American heavy-duty trucks nearly doubled from 2006 to nearly 40%.

Tim Solso, Cummins Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "In the face of the unfavorable situation in local areas and market fluctuations, Cummins has achieved excellent operating results in 2007, again demonstrating Cummins as a diversified global power. The strength of leading companies is that the average return on our shareholders' investment over the past five years is as much as 55%."

In 2007, Cummins's overall performance was widely recognized by the industry. The industry's authoritative media - Diesel Progress magazine selected Cummins Inc. as the 2007 "Newsmaker of the Year". This is also Cummins's five-year history. The second time won this honor.

Cummins Russia and the CIS region’s sales in 2007 soared by 55% over 2006.
