康明斯原則上達成協議以解決監管問題
有關其排放認證和合規的程序
提貨卡車申請流程

印第安納州哥倫布市——2023年12月22日——康明斯公司（紐約證券交易所代碼：CMI）已原則上達成協議，以解決美國監管部門就其針對某些主要用於皮卡車應用的發動機的排放認證和合規流程提出的索賠。該公司已與相關監管機構充分合作，已經解決了許多相關問題，並期待在結束這一宂長問題時獲得確定性。康明斯進行了次廣泛的內部審查，並與監管機構合作了四年多。該公司沒有看到任何證據表明有人惡意行事，也沒有承認不當行為。

涉及的政府實體包括美國環境保護局 (EPA)、加州空氣資源委員會 (CARB)、司法部環境和自然資源司 (DOJ)、和加利福尼亞總檢察長辦公室。

康明斯在2019年開始時就披露了對這些事項的審查，會隨着審查的進展定期更新其披露。該公司已經召回了2019年車型的RAM 2500 和3500輛卡車，並已開始召回2013年至2018年車型的RAM 2500 和3500輛卡車，此前，執行這些召回和其他相關召回的估計成本共計為5,900萬美元。

康明斯預計，將在2023年第四季度錄得約20.4億美元的費用，用於解決這些問題和其他相關問題，這些問題涉及美國約100萬份皮卡車申請。其中，約19.3億美元與預計將在2024年上半年支付的款項有關。餘額反映了我們對將影響未來各期現金流的相關支出的最佳估計。該公司財務狀況良好，現有流動性和獲得資金的渠道以履行與結算相關的債務、支持的持續運營並執行其增長戰略。

和解須經監管和司法部門的最終批准。
