Cat Financial Announces Second-Quarter 2025 Results

NASHVILLE, Tenn., Aug. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Cat Financial reported second-quarter 2025 revenues of $899 million, an increase of $34 million, or 4%, compared with $865 million in the second quarter of 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a favorable impact from higher average earning assets of $49 million, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates of $20 million. Second-quarter 2025 profit was $137 million compared with a $65 million loss in the second quarter of 2024.

Second-quarter 2025 profit before income taxes was $183 million, an increase of $201 million compared with an $18 million loss in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was mainly driven by the absence of a $210 million loss on divestiture of a non-U.S. entity in 2024 and a favorable impact from higher average earning assets of $20 million, partially offset by higher provision for credit losses of $13 million and an unfavorable impact from lower margin of $10 million.

The provision for income taxes for the second quarter of 2025 was $45 million on $183 million profit before income taxes compared with $47 million on $18 million loss before income taxes for the second quarter of 2024. The effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2024 was negatively impacted by the loss on divestiture of a non-U.S. entity with no related tax benefit.

During the second quarter of 2025, retail new business volume was $3.60 billion, an increase of $187 million, or 5%, compared with $3.41 billion in the second quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher volume in the Power, EAME and North America segments.

At the end of the second quarter of 2025, past dues at Cat Financial were 1.62%, compared with 1.74% at the end of the second quarter of 2024. Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $18 million for both the second quarter of 2025 and the second quarter of 2024. As of June 30, 2025, Cat Financial's allowance for credit losses totaled $290 million, or 0.94% of finance receivables, compared with $282 million or 0.95% of finance receivables at March 31, 2025. The allowance for credit losses at year-end 2024 was $267 million, or 0.91% of finance receivables.

"We continue to see solid new business volume and strong portfolio performance," said Dave Walton, President of Cat Financial and Senior Vice President with responsibility for the Financial Products Division of Caterpillar Inc. "The Cat Financial team remains focused on execution of our strategy and supporting Caterpillar customers and dealers with financial services solutions."
