CATERPILLAR INC | 2013 | FY | 3

Available-for-sale securities
 
We have investments in certain debt and equity securities, primarily at Insurance Services, that have been classified as available-for-sale and recorded at fair value based upon quoted market prices.  These investments are primarily included in Other assets in Statement 3.  Unrealized gains and losses arising from the revaluation of available-for-sale securities are included, net of applicable deferred income taxes, in equity (Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in Statement 3).  Realized gains and losses on sales of investments are generally determined using the FIFO (first-in, first-out) method for debt instruments and the specific identification method for equity securities.  Realized gains and losses are included in Other income (expense) in Statement 1.

During 2013, 2012 and 2011, charges for other-than-temporary declines in the market values of securities were $1 million, $2 million and $5 million, respectively.  These charges were accounted for as realized losses and were included in Other income (expense) in Statement 1.  The cost basis of the impacted securities was adjusted to reflect these charges.

Indicates length of time that individual securities have been in a continuous unrealized loss position.
 
 
 
 
 


Corporate Bonds.  The unrealized losses on our investments in corporate bonds and asset-backed securities relate to changes in interest rates and credit-related yield spreads since time of purchase.  We do not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2013.
 
Mortgage-Backed Debt Securities.  The unrealized losses on our investments in mortgage-backed securities are a function of higher delinquencies, default rates and underlying market yields since time of purchase.  We do not intend to sell the investments and it is not likely that we will be required to sell these investments before recovery of their amortized cost basis.  We do not consider these investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of December 31, 2013.
 
The cost basis and fair value of the available-for-sale debt securities at December 31, 2013, by contractual maturity, is shown below. Expected maturities will differ from contractual maturities because borrowers may have the right to prepay and creditors may have the right to call obligations.
