28 Jan 16. Caterpillar profit beats as cost-cutting efforts pay off. Caterpillar Inc.’s (CAT.N) quarterly profit beat estimates as the company cut costs in the face of slumping commodity prices that has hit demand for its construction and mining equipment.
Caterpillar’s shares rose 4.9 percent in premarket trading on Thursday after the company also forecast 2016 earnings above Wall Street estimates.
The company said it expects 2016 earnings of $4.00 per share, excluding restructuring costs, compared with $3.48 per share, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Caterpillar said in September it would cut as many as 10,000 jobs through 2018. In October, the company raised its estimate for restructuring costs to $800m in 2015 from $250m.
The company said on Thursday it expected further restructuring costs of about $400m in 2016.
Total sales and revenue fell to $11.03bn in the fourth quarter ended Dec. 31, from $14.24bn a year earlier.
Caterpillar reported a quarterly loss attributable to common stockholders of $87m, or 15 cents per share, compared with a profit of $757m, or $1.23 per share, a year earlier.
Excluding restructuring costs, Caterpillar earned 74 cents per share, compared with the average analyst estimate of 69 cents per share. (Source: Reuters)
