Cummins Inc. (CMI) has submitted its 10-K filing for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

The filing includes financial statements showing net sales of $34.1 billion, a slight increase from $34.1 billion in the prior year. Net income attributable to Cummins Inc. was $3.9 billion, compared to $0.7 billion in 2023, reflecting a significant increase due to the absence of a $2.0 billion charge related to settlement agreements in 2023 and a $1.3 billion gain from the divestiture of Atmus in 2024.

The Engine segment reported flat sales at $11.7 billion, with medium-duty truck and bus sales increasing due to higher demand in North America, offset by declines in light-duty automotive and heavy-duty truck sales.
