OPERATOR: Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Caterpillar's 2Q 2026 Results Conference Call. All lines have been placed in a listen-only mode. After the speakers' remarks, there will be a question-and-answer session.
Joe Creed, Group President: Thank you for joining us. With me today are Kyle Epley, our Group President; and Stephanie Phillipps, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. We'll start with a few prepared remarks, and then we'll take your questions.
This was a record quarter for Caterpillar. We exceeded $20 billion in revenue in a single quarter for the first time in our company's history. We delivered strong profitability and continued executing on our long-term strategy of operational excellence, focused execution, and disciplined capital deployment. The strength of our results was broad-based, with growth across all three of our primary segments.
[Prepared remarks continue — revenue, margins, segment performance, and outlook discussed in detail during the call.]
We delivered record results, and I'm really proud of our team and the record performance this quarter and in particular the sales and revenues milestone we achieved — the first time in our company history to exceed $20 billion in a quarter. With broadening momentum across all three of our primary segments, we'll remain focused on operational excellence and delivering for our customers to create long-term value for our shareholders.
Alex Capper, VP IR: Thank you, Joe, Kyle, Stephanie and everyone who joined us today. A replay of our call will be available online later this morning. We'll also post a transcript on our investor relations website as soon as it is available. You'll also find a second quarter results video with our CFO and an SEC filing of our sales to users data.

OPERATOR: Thank you. That concludes our call. We thank you for joining. You may all now disconnect.
