Sales increased in Latin America but were down in all other geographical territories with North America seeing a drop of 11%, Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EAME) declining by 15% and Asia Pacific down by 12%.

The OEM said that the decrease was primarily due to a decline in sales volume of $458 million and unfavorable price realisation, which accounted for another $147 million.

Caterpillar’s Resource Industries, which includes mining machinery, had total sales of $3.02 billion in the third quarter of 2024, a decrease of $323 million, or 10%, compared with $3.351 billion in the third quarter of 2023.

Sales in Latin America were flat and down in all other regions. North America had the largest drop at 17% followed by EAME at 13% and sales in Asia Pacific were down 3%.

For the company as a whole, sales and revenues for the third quarter of 2024 were $16.1 billion, a 4% decrease compared with $16.8 billion in the third quarter of 2023.
