Cat Financial reported earnings results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013. For the quarter, the company reported revenues of $680 million, an increase of $12 million, or 2%, compared with the first quarter of 2012. Profit after tax was $141 million compared to $120 million last year. The increase in Revenue was primarily due to an $82 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets (finance receivables and operating leases at constant rates), partially offset by a $63 million unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates on new and existing finance receivables and operating leases and an $8 million unfavorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment. Profit before income taxes was $187 million for the first quarter of 2013, compared with $170 million for the first quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to a $34 million favorable impact from higher average earning assets, partially offset by an $8 million unfavorable impact from returned or repossessed equipment and a $6 million unfavorable impact due to the absence of favorable mark-to-market adjustments that were recorded on interest rate derivative contracts in the first quarter of 2012.
