Net cash from operating activities decreased $1.7 billion during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, driven by:

An increase in accounts receivable primarily due to increased tariffs, duties and taxes to be paid by our customers.

Higher incentive compensation payments.

Higher income tax payments due to deferred payments resulting from Hurricane Helene relief.

A decrease in net income.

These factors were partially offset by an increase in cash proceeds of $246 million from factoring certain accounts receivable during the three months ended September 30, 2025. For additional information on our factoring program, see note 3 to the unaudited, consolidated financial statements.

As of September 30, 2025, approximately $3.3 billion of our total worldwide holdings of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities were held by foreign subsidiaries. The amount of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries fluctuates throughout the year due to a variety of factors, including the timing of cash receipts, strategic operating needs and disbursements in the normal course of business. Cash provided by operating activities in the U.S. continues to be our primary source of funds to finance our business operations, planned capital expenditures, pension contributions, planned acquisitions, transformation strategy costs, debt obligations and planned shareowner returns. All cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries are generally available for distribution to the U.S. without any U.S. federal income taxes. Any such distributions may be subject to foreign withholding and U.S. state taxes. When amounts earned by foreign subsidiaries are expected to be indefinitely reinvested, no accrual for taxes is provided.
