CATERPILLAR INC. (NYSE:CAT) Files An 8-K Regulation FD Disclosure

Caterpillar Inc. (Caterpillar, we or our) is furnishing
supplemental information concerning (i) retail sales of machines
to end users and (ii) retail sales of power systems (including
reciprocating and turbine engines and locomotives) to end users
and Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs). Caterpillar sells
the majority of its machinery and power systems to independently
owned and operated dealers and OEMs to meet the demands of their
customers, the end users. Caterpillar believes that this
supplemental information may help readers better understand
Caterpillars business and the industries it serves, particularly
in light of the time delay between Caterpillars sales to dealers
and dealers sales to end users.

In this report we are providing information by geographic region
for retail sales of machines in each of our Resource Industries
and Construction Industries reportable segments, as well as
information regarding total retail sales of our machines
globally. For our Energy Transportation reportable segment, we
are providing retail sales information by major end use.

The information presented in this report is primarily based on
unaudited reports that are voluntarily provided to Caterpillar by
its independent dealers and which are not subject to Caterpillars
internal controls over financial reporting. Accordingly, the data
collected from such third parties may not be accurate and/or
complete. As such, the information presented in this report is
intended solely to convey an approximate indication of the
trends, direction and magnitude of retail sales and is not
intended to be an estimate, approximation or prediction of, or
substitute for, Caterpillars audited financial statements filed
with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This
information is furnished under this report with the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission. Caterpillar does not
undertake to update or adjust prior period information.
