I’m returning at a challenging point in our industries, and I appreciate the ongoing efforts that our employees have made this past quarter. We will continue to manage the business prudently through 2024 while positioning ourselves for 2025. I am confident in our success and look forward to presenting our strategy with you at an investor day in early 2025.”

2024 Second Quarter Results

(all amounts $ million, comparison vs Q2 2023 - unless otherwise stated)

The decline in Net sales of Industrial Activities is mainly due to lower shipments on decreased industry demand and reduced dealer inventory requirements. Price realization continued to be modestly favorable for Agriculture and essentially flat for Construction.

Adjusted net income was $485 million with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.38. In comparison, in Q2 2023, adjusted net income was $711 million with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.52.

Income tax expense was $95 million ($192 million in Q2 2023), and the effective tax rate (ETR) was 20.9% (22.9% in Q2 2023) with an adjusted ETR(3) of 21.0% for the second quarter (24.0% in Q2 2023). The Company forecasts full year 2024 adjusted ETR to be in the range of 24-26%(6).

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the quarter was $379 million ($139 million used in Q2 2023). Free cash flow of Industrial Activities was $140 million.

The Company’s restructuring program continued during the quarter according to plan, and CNH expects to achieve a run rate reduction of 10-15% on total labor and non-labor SG&A expenses. The Company has incurred a total of $114 million of restructuring charges through Q2 2024, including $53 million in 2023, and now expects to incur up to $180 million in total.

In North America, industry volume was down 11% year-over-year in the second quarter for tractors under 140 HP and was up 2% for tractors over 140 HP; combines were down 5%. In Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), tractor and combine demand was down 10% and down 36%, respectively. South America tractor demand was down 10% and combine demand was down 26%, continuing the recent negative trend. Asia Pacific tractor demand was up 1% and combine demand was up 4%.

Agriculture net sales decreased for the quarter by 20% to $3.91 billion, primarily due to lower shipment volumes on decreased industry demand and dealer inventory requirements across all regions, partially offset by favorable price realization.

Gross profit margin was 24.4% (27.0% in Q2 2023), down 260 bps as a result of lower production volume and unfavorable mix. These were partially offset by price realization, primarily in North America, and improved purchasing and manufacturing costs.

Adjusted EBIT decreased to $536 million ($821 million in Q2 2023) driven by the lower industry volumes, partially offset by improved purchasing and manufacturing costs, and a continued reduction in SG&A expenses. R&D investments accounted for 5.5% of sales (4.9% in Q2 2023). Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $15 million year-over-year. Adjusted EBIT margin was 13.7% (16.8% in Q2 2023).

Global industry volume for construction equipment decreased 5% year-over-year in the second quarter for Heavy construction equipment; Light construction equipment was down 4%. Aggregated demand decreased 15% in EMEA, was flat in North America, increased 30% in South America and decreased 6% in Asia Pacific.

Construction net sales decreased for the quarter by 16% to $890 million, due to lower volumes across all regions driven mainly by lower market demand.

Gross profit margin was 16.5%, up 50 bps compared to Q2 2023, mainly due to better purchasing and manufacturing costs, partially offset by unfavorable mix.

Adjusted EBIT was $60 million, a decrease of $12 million from $72 million in Q2 2023, as a result of lower volumes, mostly offset by improved product costs and lower SG&A expenses. Adjusted EBIT margin at 6.7% decreased by 10 bps year-over-year.

Revenues of Financial Services increased 14% due to favorable volumes in all regions except EMEA and higher yields, primarily in North America, partially offset by lower used equipment sales due to decreased operating lease maturities.

Net income was $91 million in the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of $3 million compared to the same quarter of 2023, primarily due to increased risk costs driven by higher delinquencies in South America offsetting higher volumes and interest margin improvements globally.

The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $28.5 billion as of June 30, 2024 (of which retail was 65% and wholesale was 35%), up $2.5 billion compared to June 30, 2023 (up $3.3 billion on a constant currency basis).

At June 30, 2024, the receivables balance greater than 30 days past due as a percentage of receivables was 2.5% (1.8% as of June 30, 2023), with most of the growth in South America from the seasonal concentration of yearly payments owed by agricultural customers compounded by regional economic and environmental factors.

2024 Outlook

The Company forecasts that global industry retail sales will continue to be weaker in both the agriculture and construction equipment markets in the second half of 2024. CNH is continuing its efforts to improve through-cycle margins with its previously announced cost reduction programs focused on product costs and SG&A expenses to partially offset the impact of the lower industry demand.

As a result of the lower industry sales projections, the Company is updating its 2024 outlook as follows:

• Agriculture segment net sales(5) down between 15% and 20% year-over-year including currency translation effects (from down 11% to 15% previously)
• Agriculture segment adjusted EBIT margin between 13.0% and 14.0% (from between 13.5% and 14.5% previously)
• Construction segment net sales(5) down between 15% and 20% year-over-year including currency translation effects (from down 7% to 11% previously)
• Construction segment adjusted EBIT margin between 5.0% and 6.0% (unchanged)
• Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities(6) between $0.7 and $0.9 billion (from between $1.1 to $1.3 billion previously)
• Adjusted diluted EPS(6) between $1.30 to $1.40 (from between $1.45 to $1.55 previously)

Change from Foreign Private Issuer to U.S. Domestic Filer

As of June 30, 2024, CNH has determined that it will no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of January 1, 2025. As a result, effective as of January 1, 2025, the Company will no longer be eligible to use the rules designed for foreign private issuers and will be considered a U.S. domestic issuer. At that time, CNH will be required to comply with, among other things, U.S. proxy requirements and Regulation FD, and its officers, directors and shareholders owning more than 10% will become subject to the beneficial ownership reporting and short-swing profit recovery requirements in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Starting with its third quarter 2022 results, CNH began voluntarily reporting its financial results under the periodic reporting forms for U.S. domestic filers. The Company will continue to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K.

1. c.c. means at constant currency.
2. Comparison vs. December 31, 2023
3. This item is a non-GAAP financial measure. Refer to the “Non-GAAP Financial Information” section of this press release for information regarding non-GAAP financial measures. Refer to the specific table in the “Other Supplemental Financial Information” section of this press release for the reconciliation between the non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable GAAP financial measure.
4. Certain financial information in this report has been presented by geographic area. Our geographical regions are: (a) North America; (b) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); (c) South America and (d) Asia Pacific. The geographic designations have the following meanings:
   1. North America: United States, Canada, and Mexico;
   2. Europe, Middle East, and Africa: member countries of the European Union, European Free Trade Association, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Balkans, Russia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, the African continent, and the Middle East;

5. Net sales reflecting the exchange rate of 1.09 EUR/USD.
6. The Company is unable to provide this reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence, the financial impact, and the periods in which the adjustments may be recognized. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information, which could be material to future results.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

CNH monitors its operations through the use of several non-GAAP financial measures. CNH’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding its operating results and enhance the readers’ ability to assess CNH’s financial performance and financial position. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions as they provide additional transparency with respect to our core operations. These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and are unlikely to be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance and financial position as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

CNH’s non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:

• Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP is defined as net income (loss) before the following items: Income taxes, Financial Services’ results, Industrial Activities’ interest expenses, net, foreign exchange gains/losses, finance and non-service component of pension and other post-employment benefit costs, restructuring expenses, and certain non-recurring items. In particular, non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities.
• Adjusted EBIT Margin of Industrial Activities: is computed by dividing Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities by Net Sales of Industrial Activities.
• Adjusted Net Income (Loss): is defined as net income (loss), less restructuring charges and non-recurring items, after tax.
• Adjusted Diluted EPS: is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. by a weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period that takes into consideration potential common shares outstanding deriving from the CNH share-based payment awards, when inclusion is not anti-dilutive. When we provide guidance for adjusted diluted EPS, we do not provide guidance on an earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end.
• Adjusted Income Tax (Expense) Benefit: is defined as income taxes less the tax effect of restructuring expenses and non-recurring items, and non-recurring tax charges or benefits.
• Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (Adjusted ETR): is computed by dividing a) adjusted income taxes by b) income (loss) before income taxes and equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, less restructuring expenses and non-recurring items.
• Net Cash (Debt) and Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities: Net Cash (Debt) is defined as total debt less intersegment notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties) and derivative hedging debt. CNH provides the reconciliation of Net Cash (Debt) to Total (Debt), which is the most directly comparable measure included in the consolidated balance sheets. Due to different sources of cash flows used for the repayment of the debt between Industrial Activities and Financial Services (by cash from operations for Industrial Activities and by collection of financing receivables for Financial Services), management separately evaluates the cash flow performance of Industrial Activities using Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities.
• Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (or Industrial Free Cash Flow): refers to Industrial Activities only, and is computed as consolidated cash flow from operating activities less: cash flow from operating activities of Financial Services; investments of Industrial Activities in assets sold under operating leases, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; change in derivatives hedging debt of Industrial Activities; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.
• Change excl. FX or Constant Currency: CNH discusses the fluctuations in revenues on a constant currency basis by applying the prior year average exchange rates to current year’s revenues expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

The tables attached to this press release provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
