2023 Second Quarter Results

(all amounts $ million, comparison vs Q2 2022 - unless otherwise stated)

Net sales of Industrial Activities were $5.95 billion, an increase of 6% compared to the same period of the prior year, mainly due to favorable price realization, offsetting adverse currency conversion impacts. Sales were higher despite a proactive reduction in South American deliveries to moderate dealer inventory, and a delayed start of production on new North American sprayers.

Net income was $710 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.52 (net income of $552 million in Q2 2022, with diluted earnings per share of $0.40). Adjusted net income was $711 million, with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.52 (adjusted net income of $583 million in Q2 2022, with adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.43).

Gross profit margin of Industrial Activities was 25.0% (22.0% in Q2 2022) with improvement both sequentially and versus the prior year in Agriculture and Construction, reflective of favorable price realization and of improving operating performance of our production system, which is limiting the effects of continued inflationary pressures.

Reported income tax expense was $192 million, and effective tax rate (ETR) was 22.9% with adjusted ETR⁽³⁾ of 24.0% for the second quarter.

Cash flow used in operating activities in the quarter was $139 million ($271 million in Q2 2022). Free cash flow of Industrial Activities was $386 million. Consolidated Debt was $24.9 billion as of June 30, 2023 ($23.0 billion at December 31, 2022).

In North America, industry volume was up 21% year over year in the second quarter for tractors over 140 HP and was down 8% for tractors under 140 HP; combines were up 27% from prior year. In Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), tractor and combine demand was down 6% and up 32%, respectively, which included Europe tractor and combine demand down 1% and up 11%, respectively. South America tractor demand was down 4% and combine demand was down 27%. Asia Pacific tractor demand was down 4% and combine demand was down 29% (mostly in China).

Agriculture net sales increased for the quarter by 4% to $4.89 billion as a result of favorable price realization, partially offset by lower volume.

Gross profit margin was 27.0% (23.4% in Q2 2022) as a result of favorable price realization and increased efficiencies in the plants, offsetting continued inflation in supply chain costs.

Adjusted EBIT was $821 million ($663 million in Q2 2022), with Adjusted EBIT margin at 16.8%. The $158 million (or 2.8 p.p.) increase from Q2 2022 was the result of favorable pricing and improved mix, partially offset by increased production costs, SG&A expenditures, and R&D investments.

Global industry volume for construction equipment was down 9% year over year in the second quarter for Heavy construction equipment; Light construction equipment was flat year over year. Aggregated demand increased 8% in North America, was flat in EMEA, decreased 16% in South America and decreased 13% for Asia Pacific (excluding China, Asia Pacific markets decreased 3%).

Construction net sales increased for the quarter by 19% to $1.06 billion, driven by favorable price realization and positive volume/mix mainly in North America partially offset by lower net sales from South America.

Gross profit margin was 16.0%, up 2.2 p.p. compared to Q2 2022, mainly due to higher volume and favorable price realization partially offset by higher raw material costs and manufacturing costs.

Adjusted EBIT increased $38 million due to favorable price realization and favorable volume/mix partially offset by higher production costs, SG&A spend, and R&D investments. Adjusted EBIT margin at 6.8% increased by 300 bps vs. the same quarter of 2022.

Revenues were up 28.0% due to favorable volumes and higher base rates across all regions, partially offset by lower used equipment sales due to diminished inventory levels.

Net income decreased $1 million to $94 million, primarily due to margin compression in North America and higher risk costs, partially offset by favorable volumes in all regions and a lower tax rate.

The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $26.0 billion as of June 30, 2023 (of which retail was 64% and wholesale was 36%), up $4.9 billion compared to June 30, 2022 (up $4.5 billion on a constant currency basis).

The receivable balance greater than 30 days past due as a percentage of receivables was 1.8% (1.3% as of December 31, 2022) with increases mainly in South America.

The Company is reaffirming the following 2023 outlook for its Industrial Activities:

• Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities⁽⁶⁾ between $1.3bn and $1.5bn

The tables and discussion related to the financial results of the Company and its segments shown in this press release are prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. EU-IFRS reports will be published on approximately August 2, 2023.

1. c.c. means at constant currency.
2. Comparison vs. December 31, 2022
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: (1) North America; (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa (“EMEA”); (3) South America and (4) 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;
   3. South America: Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands; and
   4. Asia Pacific: Continental Asia (including the India subcontinent), Indonesia and Oceania.
5. Net sales reflecting the exchange rate of 1.10 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 Industrial monitors its operations through the use of several non-GAAP financial measures. CNH Industrial’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 Industrial’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 Industrial’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 Industrial 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.
• Adjusted Gross Profit Margin of Industrial Activities: is computed by dividing Net sales less Cost of goods sold, as adjusted by non-recurring items, by Net sales.
• 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 Industrial 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 Industrial 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.
