How Caterpillar makes money

Fiscal year

How does Caterpillar make money? This Sankey traces every dollar of revenue through the income statement — into cost of revenue, R&D, SG&A, and taxes — and shows what's left as profit. Pick any fiscal year. Straight from SEC filings.

Each fiscal year from SEC filings. Percentages are share of revenue, so the green profit nodes read directly as gross / operating / net margin. Line items a company doesn't break out are derived from their siblings so the flows balance; small residuals show as “Other.” For informational purposes only.
