The third-quarter sales of Cummins were $ 4.9 billion, up 19% over last year, which set a new quarterly record for the Company. The increase year-over-year was driven by higher demand in truck, construction, power generation and oil and gas markets in North America. The Company also experienced strong growth in global mining markets. Growth in these markets offset weaker demand in the construction market in China and power generation in India.

“Cummins had its best year ever in 2011, despite economic uncertainty in a number of regions. We continue to benefit from our leading position in a number of end markets and geographies,” said Tom Linebarger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Revenue in the United States grew 53 percent and international revenue grew 27 percent year-over-year.

Based on the current forecast, Cummins anticipates that total Company revenues will increase 10 percent in 2012, with EBIT in the range of 14.5 to 15 percent of sales. “Our 2011 results and our forecast for 2012 reaffirms our confidence in reaching our goal of achieving $30 billion in sales and 18 percent EBIT in 2015,” Linebarger said.
