Andrew Bonfield, chief financial officer of Caterpillar, participated in the company’s fourth-quarter 2024 earnings call on January 30, 2025. During the call, he discussed the company’s financial outlook for 2025, stating that Caterpillar expects a slight decrease in sales for the year, with an unfavorable impact from both volume and price. He attributed the price impact to post-sales merchandising programs, which he said should account for about a 1% decrease in sales for the full year. Bonfield also commented on Caterpillar’s global manufacturing position, noting that the company’s largest manufacturing presence is in the United States and that it is a net exporter outside the U.S. He said this positions the company well relative to many other companies. The call also included remarks from other executives, including chairman and CEO Jim Opelby, who highlighted the company’s record adjusted profit per share and strong free cash flow in 2024.
