Cat Financial reported first-quarter 2025 revenues of $860 million, an increase of $7 million, or 1%, compared with $853 million in the first quarter of 2024. The increase in revenues was primarily due to a favorable impact from higher average earning assets of $28 million, partially offset by an unfavorable impact from lower average financing rates of $15 million. First-quarter 2025 profit was $130 million, a decrease of $39 million, or 23%, compared with $169 million in the first quarter of 2024.

First-quarter 2025 profit before income taxes was $174 million, a decrease of $55 million, or 24%, compared with $229 million in the first quarter of 2024. The decrease was mainly due to the absence of an insurance settlement of $33 million in the first quarter of 2024 and an unfavorable impact from higher provision for credit losses of $22 million.

The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of 2025 was $44 million on $174 million profit before income taxes compared with $59 million on $229 million profit before income taxes for the first quarter of 2024.

During the first quarter of 2025, retail new business volume was $2.96 billion, an increase of $222 million, or 8%, compared with $2.74 billion in the first quarter of 2024. The increase was primarily driven by higher volume across all regions.

Write-offs, net of recoveries, were $20 million for the first quarter of 2025, compared with $55 million for the first quarter of 2024.
