These statements may include terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “could”, “should”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “outlook”, “continue”, “remain”, “on track”, “design”, “target”, “objective”, “goal”, “forecast”, “projection”, “prospects”, “plan”, or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Rather, they are based on current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control and are difficult to predict. If any of these risks and uncertainties materialize or other assumptions underlying any of the forward-looking statements prove to be incorrect, the actual results or developments may differ materially from any future results or developments expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.

Factors, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others: the many interrelated factors that affect consumer confidence and worldwide demand for capital goods and capital goods-related products; general economic conditions in each of our markets; changes in government policies regarding banking, monetary and fiscal policies; legislation, particularly relating to capital goods-related issues such as agriculture, the environment, debt relief and subsidy program policies, trade and commerce and infrastructure development; government policies on international trade and investment, including sanctions, import quotas, capital controls and tariffs; actions of competitors in the various industries in which we compete; development and use of new technologies and technological difficulties; the interpretation of, or adoption of new, compliance requirements with respect to engine emissions, safety or other aspects of our products; production difficulties, including capacity and supply constraints and excess inventory levels; labor relations; interest rates and currency exchange rates; inflation and deflation; energy prices; prices for agricultural commodities; housing starts and other construction activity; our ability to obtain financing or to refinance existing debt; a decline in the price of used vehicles; the resolution of pending litigation and investigations on a wide range of topics, including dealer and supplier litigation, follow-on private litigation in various jurisdictions after the recently settled EU antitrust investigation announced on July 19, 2016, intellectual property rights disputes, product warranty and defective product claims, and emissions and/or fuel economy regulatory and contractual issues; the Company’s pension plans and other post-employment obligations; political and civil unrest; volatility and deterioration of capital and financial markets, including further deterioration of the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, possible effects of Brexit, political evolutions in Turkey, terror attacks in Europe and elsewhere, and other similar risks and uncertainties and our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing. Further information concerning factors, risks, and uncertainties that could materially affect CNH Industrial’s financial results is included in CNH Industrial N.V.’s EU Annual Report at December 31, 2016, prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS and in its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2016, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors should refer to and consider the incorporated information on risks, factors, and uncertainties in addition to the information presented here.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made.

Furthermore, in light of ongoing difficult macroeconomic conditions, both globally and in the industries in which we operate, it is particularly difficult to forecast our results and any estimates or forecasts of particular periods that we provide are uncertain. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. We can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Our outlook is based upon assumptions, which are sometimes based upon estimates and data received from third parties. Such estimates and data are often revised. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly our outlook or forward-looking statements.

Further information concerning CNH Industrial and its businesses, including factors that potentially could materially affect CNH Industrial’s financial results, is included in CNH Industrial’s reports and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Autoriteit Financiële Markten (“AFM”) and Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa (“CONSOB”).

INTRODUCTION

CNH Industrial N.V. (the “Company” and collectively with its subsidiaries, “CNH Industrial” or the “CNH Industrial Group” or the “Group”) is the company formed by the business combination transaction, completed on September 29, 2013, between Fiat Industrial S.p.A. (“Fiat Industrial”) and its majority owned subsidiary CNH Global N.V. (“CNH Global”). CNH Industrial N.V. is incorporated in, and under the laws of, The Netherlands. CNH Industrial N.V. has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and its principal office in London, England, United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, as used in this Interim Report, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to CNH Industrial N.V. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

CNH Industrial reports quarterly and annual consolidated financial results in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) reporting purposes, and in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and adopted by the European Union (“EU-IFRS”) for European listing proposes and for Dutch law requirements. The reconciliation from EU-IFRS figures to U.S. GAAP is presented, on a voluntary basis, in the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial information included in this Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS. This Interim Report is prepared using the U.S. dollar as the presentation currency, and with segment reporting based on the following five operating segments:

 

   

Agricultural Equipment designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of farm machinery and implements, including two-wheel and four-wheel drive tractors, crawler tractors (Quadtrac®), combines, cotton pickers, grape and sugar cane harvesters, hay and forage equipment, planting and seeding equipment, soil preparation and cultivation implements, and material handling equipment. Agricultural equipment is sold under the New Holland Agriculture and Case IH Agriculture brands, as well as the Steyr brand in Europe and the Miller brand, primarily in North America. Following the acquisition of the grass and soil implement business of Kongskilde Industries in February 2017, certain agricultural equipment products will be sold under the Kongskilde, Överum, and JF brands.

 

   

Construction Equipment designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of construction equipment including excavators, crawler dozers, graders, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, and telehandlers. Construction equipment is sold under the New Holland Construction and Case Construction Equipment brands.

 

   

Commercial Vehicles designs, produces and sells a full range of light, medium, and heavy vehicles for the transportation and distribution of goods under the Iveco brand, commuter buses and touring coaches under the Iveco Bus (previously Iveco Irisbus) and Heuliez Bus brands, quarry and mining equipment under the Iveco Astra brand, firefighting vehicles under the Magirus brand, and vehicles for civil defense and peace-keeping missions under the Iveco Defence Vehicles brand.

 

   

Powertrain designs, manufactures, and offers a range of propulsion and transmission systems and axles for on- and off-road engine applications, as well as engines for marine application and power generation under the FPT Industrial brand.

 

   

Financial Services offers a range of financial services to dealers and customers. Financial Services provides and administers retail financing to customers for the purchase or lease of new and used industrial equipment or vehicles and other equipment sold by CNH Industrial dealers. In addition, Financial Services provides wholesale financing to CNH Industrial dealers. Wholesale financing consists primarily of floor plan financing and allows the dealers to purchase and maintain a representative inventory of products.

Certain financial information in this report has been presented by geographic area. Our geographic regions are: (1) NAFTA; (2) EMEA; (3) LATAM; and (4) APAC. The geographic designations have the following meanings:

 

   

NAFTA - United States, Canada and Mexico;

 

   

EMEA - member countries of the European Union, member countries of the European Free Trade Association (“EFTA”), Ukraine, Balkans, African continent and the Middle East (excluding Turkey);

 

   

LATAM - Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands; and

 

   

APAC - Continental Asia (including Turkey and Russia), Oceania and member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (“CIS”) (excluding Ukraine).

This Interim Report is unaudited.

 

Introduction   3    


Alternative performance measures (or “Non-GAAP financial measures”)

We monitor our operations through the use of several non-GAAP financial measures. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our results and allow management and investors to assess CNH Industrial’s operating trends, financial performance and financial position. Management uses these non-GAAP financial 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 presented in EU-IFRS (or in U.S. GAAP) and are unlikely to be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to potential differences between the companies in calculations. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP financial measures has limitations and they should not be considered as substitutes for measures of financial performance and financial position as prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS.

Our non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:

 

   

 

 

Trading Profit under EU-IFRS: is computed starting from net revenues less cost of sales, selling, general and administrative costs, research and development costs, and other operating income and expenses.

   

 

 

Operating Profit under EU-IFRS: is computed starting from Trading Profit under EU-IFRS plus/minus restructuring costs, other income (expenses) that are unusual in the ordinary course of business (such as gains and losses on the disposal of investments and other unusual items arising from infrequent external events or market conditions).

   

 

 

Operating Profit under U.S. GAAP: is derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Operating Profit of Industrial Activities is defined as net sales less cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. Operating Profit of Financial Services is defined as revenues, less selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expenses and certain other operating expenses.

   

 

 

Adjusted Net Income (Loss) under U.S. GAAP: is derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is defined as net income (loss), less restructuring charges and non-recurring items, after tax. 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 Diluted EPS under U.S. GAAP: is derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and 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.

   

 

 

Net Debt and Net Debt of Industrial Activities (or Net Industrial Debt) under EU-IFRS: Net Debt is defined as debt plus other financial liabilities, net of cash, cash equivalent, current securities and other financial assets. We provide the reconciliation of Net Debt to Total Debt, which is the most directly comparable measure included in our consolidated statement of financial position. 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 Financial Services), management separately evaluates the cash flow performance of Industrial Activities using Net Debt of Industrial Activities.

   

 

 

Change excl. FX or Constant Currency: we discuss the fluctuations in revenues and certain non-GAAP financial measures on a constant currency basis by applying the prior year exchange rates to current year’s values expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

INTERIM REPORT ON OPERATIONS

(Unaudited)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The operations and key financial measures and financial analysis differ significantly for manufacturing and distribution businesses and financial services businesses; therefore, for a better understanding of our operations and financial results, we present the following table providing the consolidated income statements and a breakdown of CNH Industrial results between Industrial Activities and Financial Services. Industrial Activities represent the activities carried out by the four industrial segments Agricultural Equipment, Construction Equipment, Commercial Vehicles, and Powertrain, as well as Corporate functions. The parent company, CNH Industrial N.V., is included under Industrial Activities as well as subsidiaries that provide centralized treasury services (i.e., raising funding in the market and financing Group subsidiaries). The activities of the treasury subsidiaries do not include the offer of financing to third parties.

Interim Report on Operations      5


Net revenues

We recorded net revenues of $5,829 million during the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 6.5% (up 6.7% on a constant currency basis) compared to the first quarter of 2016. Net revenues of Industrial Activities were $5,435 million in the first quarter of 2017, a 5.9% increase (up 6.4% on a constant currency basis) compared to the first quarter of 2016. Net revenues of Industrial Activities increased in Agricultural Equipment, Commercial Vehicles and Powertrain, partially offset by a decline in Construction Equipment’s net revenues.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales were $4,858 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $4,536 million during the first quarter of 2016. The increase of 7.1% was driven by the increase in revenues. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales was 83.3% and 82.8% in the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Selling, general and administrative costs

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs amounted to $516 million during the first quarter of 2017 (8.9% of net revenues), flat compared to the the first quarter of 2016.

Research and development costs

In the three months ended March 31, 2017, research and development (“R&D”) costs were $240 million ($225 million in the first quarter of 2016) and included all the research and development costs not recognized as assets amounting to $124 million ($105 million in the first quarter of 2016) and the amortization of capitalized development costs of $116 million ($120 million in the first quarter of 2016). During the period, CNH Industrial capitalized new development costs of $74 million ($80 million in the first quarter of 2016). The R&D costs in both periods were primarily attributable to continued investment in new products.

Other income/(expenses)

Other expenses were $23 million for the first quarter of 2017 ($16 million in the first quarter of 2016).

Restructuring costs

Restructuring costs for the first quarter of 2017 were $13 million compared to $15 million for the first quarter of 2016. The costs in the first quarter of 2017 were primarily attributable to actions in Agricultural Equipment, Commercial Vehicles and Construction Equipment as part of the efficiency program launched in 2014. The costs in the first quarter of 2016 were mainly the result of efficiency program actions in Agricultural Equipment and Commercial Vehicles.

Other unusual income/(expenses)

Other unusual income was $8 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to Other unusual expenses of $504 million for the first quarter of 2016, which included the non-recurring charge of $502 million related to the European Commission investigation. For additional information on the European Commission settlement, see Note 27 “Commitments and contingencies” to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Financial income/(expenses)

Net financial expenses were $141 million during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $156 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease of $15 million was primarily attributable to favorable cost of funding and lower average indebtedness in the quarter.

Result from investments

Result from investments was a net gain of $19 million and a net loss of $2 million for the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively. The increase was primarily due to improved results of joint ventures in APAC.

Income taxes totaled $42 million in the quarter ($37 million in the first quarter of 2016). The effective tax rate was 64.6% in the first quarter of 2017 and was impacted by unbenefited losses in certain jurisdictions. The effective tax rate of -7.5% in the first quarter of 2016 was impacted by the non-recurring non-tax deductible charge of $502 million relating to the European Commission investigation, as well as by unbenefited losses in certain jurisdictions. Excluding the impact of restructuring in both periods, and the impact of such non-recurring charge in the first quarter of 2016, the effective tax rate was 59% and 167% in the first quarter of 2017 and 2016, respectively.

Trading profit of Industrial Activities was $72 million in the first quarter of 2017, a $15 million increase compared to the first quarter of 2016, with a trading margin of 1.3%, up 0.2 percentage points (“p.p.”) compared to the first quarter of 2016. Trading profit of Industrial Activities was driven by increased revenue and favorable product mix in Agricultural Equipment and Powertrain.

Net revenues of Agricultural Equipment were $2,346 million in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 10.5% (up 8.5% on a constant currency basis) compared to the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily the result of a rebound in demand in LATAM and the continuation of positive market momentum in APAC. Revenue in NAFTA and EMEA were flat to slightly down due to a weak demand environment, partially mitigated by positive pricing.

In our key product segments within NAFTA, the over 140 horsepower (“hp”) tractor segment was down 10% and demand for combines was down 2%. Demand for smaller, under 140 hp, tractors in NAFTA was up 9%. In LATAM, tractor and combine markets increased 51% and 32%, respectively. EMEA markets were up 1% for tractors and down 6% for combines. APAC markets increased 11% for tractors and 3% for combines.

Agricultural Equipment’s worldwide market share performance was up 0.4 p.p. for tractors and 2.3 p.p. for combines. In the first quarter of 2017, Agricultural Equipment’s worldwide unit production was 15% above retail sales in support of the expected seasonal increase in demand from dairy and livestock customers. Production of NAFTA row crop related products, including the over 140 hp tractors, combines and other major crop production equipment, increased 4% compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Trading profit

Agricultural Equipment’s trading profit was $71 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $19 million for the first quarter of 2016, with a trading margin of 3.0% (0.9% in first quarter of 2016). The increase was the result of increased revenues in LATAM and APAC, as well as improved fixed cost absorption, disciplined net price realization and manufacturing efficiencies.

Interim Report on Operations    8


Net revenues of Construction Equipment were $523 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, a decline of 2.4% (down 2.8% on a constant currency basis) compared to the first quarter of 2016. The decrease was primarily a result of a 5% decline in heavy industry demand in NAFTA and continued weak markets in EMEA and LATAM, partially mitigated by market share gains in NAFTA.

In the first quarter of 2017, Construction Equipment’s worldwide heavy and light industry sales were up 16% and 12%, respectively, compared to the first quarter of 2016. Industry light equipment sales were up in all regions, with a strong increase in demand in APAC. Industry heavy equipment sales decreased in NAFTA, EMEA and LATAM. Construction Equipment’s worldwide market share was flat for both heavy and light construction equipment in all regions except in NAFTA and LATAM, where market share increased 1.6 p.p. and decreased 3.2 p.p., respectively, for heavy equipment.

Construction Equipment’s worldwide production levels were 10% above retail sales in the quarter to support the seasonal increase expected in NAFTA.

Trading profit/(loss)

Construction Equipment reported a trading loss of $42 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to a trading loss of $6 million for the first quarter of 2016. Results were affected by a planned slower production schedule in the quarter to maintain appropriate levels of channel inventory, in response to continuing weak market demand. The results were also impacted by a negative price environment driven primarily by sales channel mix in NAFTA, an unfavorable foreign exchange impact on product costs and promotional expenses related to the launch of the new mini-excavator family.

Commercial Vehicles

Commercial Vehicles’ net revenues were $2,142 million during the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of 2.1% (up 4.6% on a constant currency basis) compared to the first quarter of 2016. The increase was primarily due to favorable truck and bus volume, partially offset by lower specialty vehicles volumes. In LATAM, recoveries in Argentinian truck demand more than offset Brazilian weakness.

During the first quarter of 2017, the European truck market (GVW ³3.5 tons), excluding U.K. and Ireland, was up 7% compared to 2016. The light vehicle market (GVW 3.5-6.0 tons) increased 8%, the medium vehicle market (GVW 6.1-15.9 tons) increased 3%, and the heavy vehicle market (GVW ³16.0 tons) increased 6%. In LATAM, new truck registrations (GVW ³3.5 tons) remained flat compared to the first quarter of 2016, primarily impacted by a decrease of 21% in Brazil, while Argentina grew by 75%. In APAC, registrations grew by 5%.

In the first quarter of 2017, our market share in the European truck market (GVW ³3.5 tons), excluding U.K. and Ireland, was 12.2%, flat compared to the first quarter of 2016. Our market share in LATAM was 11.8%, down 1.5 p.p. compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Commercial Vehicles delivered approximately 32,100 vehicles (including buses and specialty vehicles) in the quarter, representing a 3% increase compared to the first quarter of 2016. Volumes were higher in all segments, up 1% in light, 6% in medium and 9% in heavy. Commercial Vehicles’ deliveries increased 1% in EMEA and 33% in LATAM, but decreased in APAC by 2%.

Commercial Vehicles’ first quarter ratio of orders received to units shipped and billed, or book-to-bill ratio, for the European truck market was 1.23, a decrease of 7% compared to the first quarter of 2016. In 2017, truck order intake in Europe decreased 7% compared to the first quarter of 2016, with a 9% decrease in light trucks, a 6% increase in medium trucks, and a 5% decrease in heavy trucks.

 

Interim Report on Operations    9


Trading profit/(loss)

Commercial Vehicles reported trading loss was $3 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to a trading profit of $15 million in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease was mainly due to an unfavorable product and market mix in EMEA, lower specialty vehicles volumes and negative foreign currency impacts, partially offset by manufacturing efficiencies and material cost reductions.

Powertrain

Net revenues

Powertrain’s net revenues were $1,002 million in the first quarter of 2017, an increase of 13.3% (up 16.8% on a constant currency basis) compared to the first quarter of 2016 due to higher volumes. Sales to external customers accounted for 45% of total net revenues compared to 44% in the first quarter of 2016.

During the first quarter of 2017, Powertrain sold approximately 147,600 engines, an increase of 14% compared to the first quarter of 2016. In terms of major customers, 27% of engine units were supplied to Commercial Vehicles, 19% to Agricultural Equipment, 3% to Construction Equipment and the remaining 51% to external customers. Additionally, Powertrain delivered approximately 18,600 transmissions, a decrease of 5% compared to the first quarter of 2016, and 50,700 axles, flat compared to the first quarter of 2016.

Trading profit

During the first quarter of 2017, Powertrain’s trading profit was $67 million, up $21 million compared to the first quarter of 2016, with a trading margin of 6.7% (up 1.5 p.p. compared to the first quarter of 2016). The improvement was due to higher volumes and manufacturing efficiencies.

Financial Services Performance

Net revenues

Financial Services reported net revenues of $514 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017, an increase of 13.0% (up 10.5% on a constant currency basis) compared to the first quarter of 2016 due to increased sales of equipment formerly on operating leases.

Net income

Net income of Financial Services was $87 million for the first quarter of 2017 compared to $90 million for the first quarter of 2016.

Retail loan originations in the quarter (including unconsolidated joint ventures) were $1.9 billion, flat compared to the first quarter 2016. The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) of $24.7 billion as of March 31, 2017 (of which retail was 64% and wholesale 36%) was down $0.2 billion compared to March 31, 2016.

Interim Report on Operations    11


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The following discussion of liquidity and capital resources principally focuses on our condensed consolidated statement of cash flows and our condensed consolidated statement of financial position. Our operations are capital intensive and subject to seasonal variations in financing requirements for dealer receivables and dealer and company inventories. Whenever necessary, funds from operating activities are supplemented from external sources. We expect to have available cash reserves and cash generated from operations and from sources of debt and financing activities that are sufficient to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and debt service at least through the next twelve months.

Cash flow analysis

The following table presents the cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities by activity for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016:

Interim Report on Operations    12


(a)

Cash flows generated by the sale of vehicles under buy-back commitments, net of amounts included in Profit/(loss) for the period, are included under operating activities in a single line item, which includes changes in working capital, capital expenditures, depreciation and impairment losses. This item also includes gains and losses arising from the sales of vehicles transferred under buy-back commitments that occur before the end of the agreement term without repossession of the vehicle.

 

(b)

Cash flows generated during the period by operating lease arrangements are included in operating activities in a single line item which includes capital expenditures, depreciation, impairment losses and changes in inventories.

During the three months ended March 31, 2017, consolidated cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1,187 million, reflecting the decrease of $1,092 million in cash and cash equivalents of Industrial Activities.

Cash flows of Industrial Activities

Net cash used by operating activities was $318 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $520 million used in the first quarter of 2016. The decrease in cash usage was primarily due to lower working capital absorption.

Net cash used in investing activities was $627 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $216 million used in the first quarter of 2016. The increased cash usage was primarily due to a decrease in net cash receipts related to intersegment receivables and payables (included in “Other changes”).

Net cash used in financing activities was $216 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $319 million used in the first quarter of 2016, primarily reflecting lower repayments of debt.

Cash flows of Financial Services

Net cash provided by operating activities was $100 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $96 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Net cash provided by investing activities was $738 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $621 million in the first quarter of 2016, primarily due to a decrease in net cash payments related to intersegment payables and receivables, partially offset by an increase in the net change in receivables from financing activities.

Net cash used in financing activities was $943 in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $990 million in the first quarter of 2016.

Consolidated Debt

As of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our consolidated Debt was as detailed in the table below:

We believe that Net Debt, defined as debt plus other financial liabilities, net of cash, cash equivalents, current securities and other financial assets (all as recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position) is a useful analytical tool for measuring our effective borrowing requirements. This non-GAAP financial measure should neither be considered as a substitute for, nor superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies.

The calculation of Net Debt as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and the reconciliation of Net Debt to Total Debt, the EU-IFRS financial measure that we believe to be most directly comparable, are shown below:

(1)

As a result of the role played by the central treasury, debt for Industrial Activities also includes funding raised by the central treasury on behalf of Financial Services (included under intersegment financial receivables). Intersegment financial receivables for Financial Services, on the other hand, represent loans or advances to Industrial Activities – for receivables sold to Financial Services that do not meet the derecognition requirements – as well as cash deposited temporarily with the central treasury. Total Debt of Industrial Activities includes Intersegment notes payable to Financial Services of $909 million and $1,002 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. Total Debt of Financial Services includes Intersegment notes payable to Industrial Activities of $1,723 million and $1,485 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

 

(2)

Other financial liabilities and other financial assets include, respectively, the negative and positive fair values of derivative financial instruments.

 

(3)

The net intersegment receivable/payable balance owed by Financial Services to Industrial Activities was $814 million and $483 million as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The increase in Net Debt at March 31, 2017, compared to December 31, 2016, mainly reflects the expected seasonal increase in working capital.

The following table shows the change in Net Debt of Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2017:

Interim Report on Operations    14


2017 U.S. GAAP OUTLOOK

CNH Industrial manages its operations, assesses its performance and makes decision about allocation of resources based on financial results prepared only in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and, accordingly, also the full year guidance presented below is prepared under U.S. GAAP.

CNH Industrial is reaffirming its 2017 guidance(1) as follows:

 

   

Net sales of Industrial Activities between $23 billion and $24 billion;

   

Adjusted diluted EPS(2) between $0.39 and $0.41;

   

Net industrial debt at the end of 2017 between $1.4 billion and $1.6 billion.

 

  (1)

At the exchange rate of 1.05 EUR/USD.

 

  (2)

Outlook is not provided on diluted EPS under U.S.GAAP, the most comparable GAAP financial measure of this non-GAAP financial measure, as the income or expense excluded from the calculation of adjusted diluted EPS and instead included in the calculation of diluted EPS are, by definition, not predictable and uncertain.

NOTES

(Unaudited)

CORPORATE INFORMATION

CNH Industrial N.V. (the “Company” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, “CNH Industrial” or the “CNH Industrial Group” or the “Group”) is the company formed as a result of the business combination transaction (the “Merger”) between Fiat Industrial S.p.A. (“Fiat Industrial” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Fiat Industrial Group”) and its majority owned subsidiary CNH Global N.V. (“CNH Global”).

CNH Industrial N.V. is incorporated in, and under the laws of, The Netherlands. CNH Industrial N.V. has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and its principal office in London, United Kingdom. CNH Industrial is involved in the manufacturing and sale of agricultural and construction equipment, trucks and commercial vehicles and industrial and marine engines and transmission systems and axles.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of preparation

These interim condensed financial statements at March 31, 2017 together with the notes thereto (the “Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) of CNH Industrial were authorized for issuance on May 5, 2017 and have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union (“EU-IFRS”). The designation “IFRS” also includes International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), as well as all interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRS-IC”). In particular, this Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting applying the same accounting standards and policies used in the preparation of the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2016, included in the Annual Report prepared under EU-IFRS (in the following, the “CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2016” or the “2016 EU Annual Report”), other than those discussed in the following paragraph “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2017”.

This Interim Report does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2016. The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, accumulated other comprehensive income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of these interim condensed consolidated financial statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in which the circumstances change. See section “Significant accounting policies”, paragraph “Use of estimates”, in the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2016 for a detailed description of the more significant valuation procedures used by CNH Industrial.

Moreover, certain valuation procedures, in particular those of a more complex nature regarding matters such as any impairment of non-current assets, are only carried out in full during the preparation of the annual financial statements, when all the information required is available, other than in the event that there are indications of impairment, when an immediate assessment is necessary. In the same way, the actuarial valuations that are required for the determination of employee benefit provisions are also usually carried out during the preparation of the annual consolidated financial statements. The recoverability of deferred tax assets is assessed quarterly using figures from budget and plans for subsequent years consistent with those used for impairment testing. Income taxes are recognized based upon the best estimate of the actual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.

Certain financial information in these Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements has been presented by geographic area. Our geographic regions are: (1) NAFTA; (2) EMEA; (3) LATAM; and (4) APAC. The geographic designations have the following meanings:

 

   

NAFTA – United States, Canada and Mexico;

 

   

EMEA – member countries of the European Union, member countries of the European Free Trade Association (“EFTA”), Ukraine, Balkans, African continent and the Middle East (excluding Turkey);

 

   

LATAM – Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands; and

 

   

APAC – Continental Asia (including Turkey and Russia), Oceania and member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (excluding Ukraine).

 

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements    at March 31, 2017        23


CNH Industrial is exposed to operational financial risks such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, mainly relating to exchange rates and interest rates. This Interim Report does not include all the information and notes about financial risk management required in the preparation of annual financial statements. For a detailed description of this information see the “Risk, Risk management and control system” section and Note 33 “Information on financial risks” of CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2016.

The Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars. The functional currency of the parent company CNH Industrial N.V. is the euro.

Format of the financial statements

CNH Industrial presents an income statement using a classification based on the function of expenses (otherwise known as the “cost of sales” method), rather than one based on their nature, as this is believed to provide information that is more relevant. In this income statement, CNH Industrial also presents subtotals for both Trading Profit and Operating Profit. Trading Profit represents Operating Profit before specific items that are considered to hinder comparison of the trading performance of CNH Industrial’s businesses either on a year-on-year basis or with other businesses. In detail, Trading Profit is a measure that excludes Gains/(losses) on the disposal of investments, Restructuring costs and Other unusual income/(expenses) which impact, and are indicative of, operational performance, but whose effects occur on a less frequent basis; each of these items is described as follows:

 

   

Gains/(losses) on the disposal of investments are defined as gains or losses incurred on the disposal of investments (both consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated associates or other investments), inclusive of transaction costs. The caption also includes gains/losses recognized in business combinations achieved in stages, when the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is re-measured at its acquisition-date fair value;

 

   

Restructuring costs are defined as costs associated with employee termination benefits, costs to consolidate or close facilities and relocate employees, and any other cost incurred for the implementation of restructuring plans; those plans reflect specific actions taken by management to improve CNH Industrial’s future profitability; and

 

   

Other unusual income/(expenses) are defined as asset write-downs (of plant, equipment or inventory) and income or expenses and provisions (or their subsequent reversal) arising from infrequent external events or market conditions.

CNH Industrial excludes the above items from Trading Profit because they are individually or collectively material items that are not considered to be representative of the routine trading performance of the Group’s businesses. Operating Profit captures all items which are operational in nature regardless of the rate of occurrence. By distinguishing operational items between Trading Profit and Operating Profit, CNH Industrial’s performance may be evaluated in a more effective manner, while still disclosing a higher level of detail.

For the statement of financial position, a mixed format has been selected to present current and non-current assets and liabilities, as permitted by IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements. Companies carrying out industrial activities and those carrying out financial activities are both consolidated in the Group’s financial statements. The investment portfolios of Financial Services are included in current assets, as the investments will be realized in their normal operating cycle. Financial Services, though, obtain funds only partially from the market: the remainder are obtained from CNH Industrial N.V. through its treasury companies (included in Industrial Activities), which lend funds both to Industrial Activities and to Financial Services companies as the need arises. This Financial Services structure within the Group means that any attempt to separate current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position is not meaningful.

The statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method.

Venezuela currency regulations and re-measurement

The functional currency of CNH Industrial’s Venezuelan subsidiary is the U.S. dollar. At the end of each period, CNH Industrial re-measures the net monetary assets of its Venezuelan subsidiary from the bolivar fuerte (“Bs.F.” or “bolivars”) to the U.S. dollar at the rate it believes is legally available to the Company.

In January 2014, the Venezuelan government enacted changes affecting the country’s currency exchange and other controls and established a new foreign currency administration, the National Center for Foreign Commerce (“CENCOEX”). CENCOEX assumed control of the sale and purchase of foreign currency in Venezuela, and established the official exchange rate. Additionally, the government expanded the types of transactions that may be subject to the weekly auction mechanism under SICAD I. Also in 2014, the Venezuelan government announced that another floating rate exchange system (SICAD II) would be initiated. In February 2015, the Venezuelan government announced that the two previously used currency conversion mechanisms (SICAD I and SICAD II) had been merged into a single mechanism called SICAD and introduced a new open market exchange rate system, SIMADI. The changes created a three-tiered system.

In March 2016, the Venezuelan government devalued its currency and reduced its existing three-tiered system to a two-tiered system by eliminating the SICAD rate. The CENCOEX rate, which was the official rate available for purchases and sales of essential items, was changed to 10 bolivars per U.S. dollar from 6.3 and is now known as DIPRO. The Venezuelan government also announced that the SIMADI rate would be replaced by the DICOM rate, which is allowed to float freely and fluctuates based on supply and demand. As a result, management determined that the DICOM rate was the most appropriate legally available rate to re-measure the net monetary assets of the Company’s Venezuelan subsidiary, except for those cases in which the Group had a legally enforceable right of obtaining U.S. dollars at a different predetermined exchange rate. At March 31, 2017 and 2016, the net monetary assets were re-measured at the DICOM rate of 708.50 and 271.92 bolivars per U.S. dollar, respectively, resulting in a pre- and after-tax charge of $1 million and $4 million in the line item Financial income/(expenses) during the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. CNH Industrial’s results of operations in Venezuela for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were negligible as a percentage of both CNH Industrial’s net revenues and trading profit.

As of March 31, 2017, CNH Industrial continues to control, and therefore consolidate, its Venezuelan operations. Despite the significant macroeconomic challenges in the country, CNH Industrial intends to continue its presence in the Venezuelan market for the foreseeable future. CNH Industrial continues to monitor the Venezuelan economic situation and is actively engaged in discussions with the Venezuelan government agencies concerning its ongoing business activities. If, in the future, it concludes that it no longer maintains control over its operations in Venezuela, CNH Industrial may need to de-consolidate its operations in Venezuela, which would result in a pre- and after-tax charge of approximately $44 million.

Re-measurement of Argentinian net monetary asset

The functional currency of CNH Industrial’s Argentinian subsidiaries is the U.S. dollar. At the end of each period, CNH Industrial re-measures the net monetary assets of its Argentinian subsidiaries from the Argentine Peso into the U.S. dollar. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016, CNH Industrial recorded a charge of $4 million and $10 million, respectively, following the re-measurement of such net monetary assets.

New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2017

The following new standards and amendments that are applicable from January 1, 2017 were adopted by the Group for the purpose of the preparation of the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements:

 

   

On January 19, 2016, the IASB issued narrow-scope amendments to IAS12 – Income Taxes. The amendments clarify the requirements on recognition of deferred tax assets for unrealized losses on debt instruments measured at fair value, to address diversity in practice. The application of these amendments did not have any effect on this Interim Report.

 

   

On January 29, 2016, the IASB issued minor amendments to IAS 7 - Statement of Cash Flows introducing additional disclosures that will enable users of financial statements to evaluate changes in liabilities arising from financing activities. The application of these amendments is expected to have minor effects on the year-end Consolidated Financial Statements, but did not have any effect on this Interim Report.

See paragraph “Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not early adopted by the Group” of the section “Significant accounting policies” in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2016, for a detailed description of new standards not yet effective as of March 31, 2017.

SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

In February 2017, CNH Industrial completed the acquisition of the grass and soil implement business of Kongskilde Industries, the impact of which was not material to the March 31, 2017 financial statements.

This item mainly includes CNH Industrial’s share in the net profit or loss of the investees accounted for using the equity method, as well as any impairment losses, reversal of impairment losses and accruals to the investment. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, the CNH Industrial’s share in the net profit or loss of the investees accounted for using the equity method amounted to a net profit of $19 million (net loss of $2 million in the comparable period of 2016), of which: entities of Agricultural Equipment totaling $12 million ($2 million in the first quarter of 2016), entities of Commercial Vehicles totaling $1 million ($-10 million in the first quarter of 2016) and entities of Financial Services totaling $6 million ($6 million in the first quarter of 2016).

11. Income taxes

Income taxes recognized in the condensed consolidated income statement consist of the following:

 

     Three Months Ended March 31,  

 

 

($ million)

  

 

2017            

  

 

2016

Taxes relating to prior periods

   (1)               2  

 

 

Total Income tax (expense)

   (42)               (37)  

 

The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was 64.6% compared to -7.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2017 was impacted by unbenefited losses in certain jurisdictions. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was impacted by the non-recurring non-tax deductible charge of $502 million related to the European Commission investigation, as well as by unbenefited losses in certain jurisdictions. For more information on the European Commission settlement, see Note 27 “Commitments and contingencies”.

12. Earnings per share

Basic earnings/(loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the Profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the owners of the parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur on the conversion of all dilutive potential common shares into common shares. Stock options, restricted stock units, and performance stock units deriving from the CNH Industrial share-based payment awards are considered dilutive securities.

Shares acquired under the buy-back program are included in the issued shares of the Company and treasury stock, but are not included in average shares outstanding when calculating earnings per share. For additional information on the buy-back program, see Note 22 “Equity”.

A reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share is as follows:

For the three months ended March 31, 2016, 7.5 million stock options were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to an anti-dilutive impact; an additional 1.1 million dilutive potential common shares were excluded due to the net loss position.

Past due balances of Receivables from financing activities still accruing finance income represent the total balance held (principal plus accrued interest) with any payment amounts 30 days or more past the contractual payment due date. Non-performing Receivables from financing activities represent loans for which CNH Industrial has ceased accruing finance income. These receivables are generally 120 days delinquent. Finance income for non-performing receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrual of finance income is resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured.

Receivables from financing activities are considered impaired when it is probable that CNH Industrial will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Receivables reviewed for impairment generally include those that are either past due, have provided bankruptcy notification, or require significant collection efforts. Impaired receivables are generally classified as non-performing.

Transfers of financial assets

The Group transfers a number of its financial receivables to securitization programs or factoring transactions.

A securitization transaction entails the sale of a portfolio of receivables to a securitization vehicle. This structured entity finances the purchase of the receivables by issuing asset-backed securities (i.e. securities whose repayment and interest flow depend upon the cash flow generated by the portfolio). Asset-backed securities are divided into classes according to their degree of seniority and rating: the most senior classes are placed with investors on the market; the junior class, whose repayment is subordinated to the senior classes, is normally subscribed for by the seller. The residual interest in the receivables retained by the seller is therefore limited to the junior securities it has subscribed for. In accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, all securitization vehicles are included in the scope of consolidation because the subscription of the junior asset-backed securities by the seller implies its control in substance over the structured entity.

 

Furthermore, factoring transactions may be either with recourse or without recourse; certain without recourse transfers include deferred payment clauses (for example, when the payment by the factor of a minor part of the purchase price is dependent on the total amount collected from the receivables), requiring first loss cover, meaning that the transferor takes priority participation in the losses, or requires a significant exposure to the cash flows arising from the transferred receivables to be retained. These types of transactions do not comply with the requirements of IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, for the derecognition of the assets since the risks and rewards connected with collection are not substantially transferred, and accordingly the Group continues to recognize the receivables transferred by this means in its balance sheet and recognizes a financial liability of the same amount under Asset-backed financing (Note 24). The gains and losses arising from the transfer of these assets are only recognized when the assets are derecognized. At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the carrying amount of such restricted assets included in Receivables from financing activities are the following:

 

($ million)    At March 31, 2017          At December 31, 2016

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements    at March 31, 2017        34


CNH Industrial has discounted receivables and bills without recourse having due dates beyond March 31, 2017 amounting to $512 million ($566 million at December 31, 2016, with due dates beyond that date), which refer to trade receivables and other receivables for $508 million ($551 million at December 31, 2016) and receivables from financing activities for $4 million ($15 million at December 31, 2016).

19. Other financial assets and Other financial liabilities

These items consist of derivative financial instruments measured at fair value at the balance sheet date.

CNH Industrial utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Derivatives used as hedges are effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and are designated as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. CNH Industrial does not hold or issue derivative or other financial instruments for speculative purposes. The credit and market risk for interest rate hedges is reduced through diversification among various counterparties, utilizing mandatory termination clauses and/or collateral support agreements. Derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 or 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Foreign Exchange Contracts

CNH Industrial has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts, swaps, and options in order to manage and preserve the economic value of cash flows in a currency different from the functional currency of the relevant legal entity. CNH Industrial conducts its business on a global basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies and hedges foreign currency exposures arising from various receivables, liabilities, and expected inventory purchases and sales. Derivative instruments utilized to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with anticipated inventory purchases and sales in foreign currencies are designated as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on these instruments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and recognized in earnings when the related transaction occurs. Ineffectiveness related to these hedge relationships is recognized currently in the condensed consolidated income statement in the line “Financial income/(expenses)” and was not significant for all periods presented. The maturity of these instruments does not exceed 18 months and the after-tax gains (losses) deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) that will be recognized in net revenues and cost of sales over the next twelve months assuming foreign exchange rates remain unchanged is approximately $-89 million. If a derivative instrument is terminated because the hedge relationship is no longer effective or because the hedged item is a forecasted transaction that is no longer determined to be probable, the cumulative amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized immediately in earnings. Such amounts were insignificant in all periods presented.

CNH Industrial also uses forwards and swaps to hedge certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Such derivatives are considered economic hedges and not designated as hedging instruments. The changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized directly in income in “Financial income/(expenses)” and are expected to offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the exposures being managed.

All of CNH Industrial’s foreign exchange derivatives are considered Level 2 as the fair value is calculated using market data input and can be compared to actively traded derivatives. The total notional amount of CNH Industrial’s foreign exchange derivatives was $6.6 billion and $7.0 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Interest Rate Derivatives

CNH Industrial has entered into interest rate derivatives (swaps and caps) in order to manage interest rate exposures arising in the normal course of business. Interest rate derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges are being used by CNH Industrial to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates related to existing debt and anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt in future periods. Gains and losses on these instruments, to the extent that the hedge relationship has been effective, are deferred in other comprehensive income/(loss) and recognized in “Financial income/(expenses)” over the period in which CNH Industrial recognizes interest expense on the related debt. Any ineffectiveness is recorded in “Financial income/(expenses)” in the condensed consolidated income statement and was insignificant for all periods presented. The maximum length of time over which CNH Industrial is hedging its interest rate exposure through the use of derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedge relationships is 20 months. The after-tax gains (losses) deferred in other comprehensive income/(loss) that will be recognized in interest expense over the next twelve months is approximately $-1 million.

 

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements    at March 31, 2017        35


Interest rate derivatives that have been designated as fair value hedge relationships have been used by CNH Industrial to mitigate the risk of reductions in the fair value of existing fixed rate bonds and medium-term notes due to increases in LIBOR based interest rates. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in “Financial income/(expenses)” in the period in which they occur and an offsetting gain or loss is also reflected in “Financial income/(expenses)” based on changes in the fair value of the debt instrument being hedged due to changes in LIBOR based interest rates. Ineffectiveness was insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016.

CNH Industrial also enters into offsetting interest rate derivatives with substantially similar terms that are not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate interest rate risk related to CNH Industrial’s committed asset-backed facilities. Unrealized and realized gains and losses resulting from fair value changes in these instruments are recognized directly in income. These facilities require CNH Industrial to enter into interest rate derivatives. To ensure that these transactions do not result in the Group being exposed to this risk, CNH Industrial enters into a compensating position. Net gains and losses on these instruments were insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016. All of CNH Industrial’s interest rate derivatives outstanding as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 are considered Level 2. The fair market value of these derivatives is calculated using market data input and can be compared to actively traded derivatives. The total notional amount of CNH Industrial’s interest rate derivatives was approximately $4.5 billion and $4.3 billion at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

The fair values of CNH Industrial’s derivatives as of March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position are recorded as follows:

The bonds issued by the Group may contain commitments of the issuer, and in certain cases commitments of CNH Industrial N.V. in its capacity as guarantor, which are typical of international practice for bond issues of this type such as, in particular, negative pledge (in relation to quoted indebtedness), a status (or pari passu) covenant and cross default clauses. A breach of these commitments can lead to the early repayment of the issued notes. The bonds guaranteed by CNH Industrial N.V. under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme, as well as the notes issued by CNH Industrial N.V. in August 2016, contain clauses which could lead to early repayment if there is a change of control of CNH Industrial N.V. leading to a rating downgrading of CNH Industrial N.V.

The Group intends to repay the issued bonds in cash at the due date by utilizing available liquid resources. In addition, the companies in the Group may from time to time buy back their issued bonds. Such buy backs, if made, depend upon market conditions, the financial situation of the Group and other factors which could affect such decisions. Further information about these bonds is included in Note 27 “Debt” to the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2016.

Available Group’s committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $2.9 billion at March 31, 2017 ($2.9 billion at December 31, 2016).

Debt secured with mortgages and other liens on assets of the Group amounted to $100 million at March 31, 2017 ($96 million at December 31, 2016); this amount included $56 million ($54 million at December 31, 2016) due to creditors for assets acquired under finance leases.

25. Trade payables

Trade payables of $5,469 million at March 31, 2017 increased by $284 million from the amount at December 31, 2016.

 

Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements    at March 31, 2017        41


26. Other current liabilities

At March 31, 2017, Other current liabilities mainly included $2,505 million of amounts payable to customers relating to buy-back agreements ($2,429 million at December 31, 2016) and accrued expenses and deferred income of $484 million ($485 million at December 31, 2016).

 

27. Commitments and contingencies

As a global Group with a diverse business portfolio, CNH Industrial is exposed to numerous legal risks, including dealer and supplier litigation, intellectual property right disputes, product warranty and defective product claims, product performance, asbestos, personal injury, emissions and/or fuel economy regulatory and contractual issues, and environmental claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. The most significant of these matters are described below.

The outcome of any current or future proceedings, claims, or investigations cannot be predicted with certainty. Adverse decisions in one or more of these proceedings, claims or investigations could require CNH Industrial to pay substantial damages, or undertake service actions, recall campaigns or other costly actions. It is therefore possible that legal judgments could give rise to expenses that are not covered, or not fully covered, by insurers’ compensation payments and could affect CNH Industrial’s financial position and results. When it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle obligations and this amount can be reliably estimated, CNH Industrial recognizes specific provisions for this purpose.

Although the ultimate outcome of legal matters pending against CNH Industrial and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted, CNH Industrial believes the reasonable possible range of losses for these unresolved legal matters in addition to the amounts accrued would not have a material effect on its Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other litigation and investigation

European Commission settlement: Since January 2011, Iveco, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, and its competitors have been subject to an investigation by the European Commission (the “Commission”) into certain business practices in the European Union in relation to medium and heavy trucks.

In the first quarter of 2016, CNH Industrial recorded a non-recurring non-tax deductible charge of 450 million ($502 million) in relation to the investigation and related matters. On July 19, 2016, the Commission announced a settlement with Iveco under which the Commission imposed a fine of 495 million (equivalent to $543 million at payment date). As a result of this settlement, CNH Industrial recorded an additional non-tax deductible charge of 45 million ($49 million) in the second quarter of 2016. The fine was paid on October 20, 2016. Following this settlement, CNH Industrial has been named as defendant in private litigation commenced in Israel, Ireland and Germany that remains at an early stage and CNH Industrial expects to face further claims in various jurisdictions, the extent and outcome of which cannot be predicted at this time.

Guarantees

CNH Industrial provided guarantees on the debt or commitments of third parties and performance guarantees, mainly in the interest of a joint venture related to commercial commitments of defense vehicles, totaling $341 million and $291 million at March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Other contingencies

CNH Industrial N.V. is successor to Fiat Industrial, a company formed as a result of the demerger of Fiat (which, effective October 12, 2014, was merged into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V., “FCA”) in favor of Fiat Industrial (the “Demerger”). As such, CNH Industrial continues to be liable jointly with FCA for the liabilities of FCA that arose prior to the effective date of the Demerger (January 1, 2011) and were still outstanding at that date (the “Liabilities”). This statutory provision is limited to the value of the net assets transferred to Fiat Industrial in the Demerger and survives until the Liabilities are satisfied in full. Furthermore, CNH Industrial N.V. may be responsible jointly with FCA in relation to tax liabilities, even if such tax liabilities exceed the value of the net assets transferred to Fiat Industrial in the Demerger. At March 31, 2017, the outstanding liabilities amounted to approximately 1.2 billion ($1.3 billion), of which 1.1 billion ($1.1 billion) consisted of bonds due June 2017 guaranteed by FCA. CNH Industrial believes the risk of FCA’s insolvency is extremely remote, and therefore, no specific provision has been accrued in respect of the above mentioned potential joint liability.

28. Segment reporting

The operating segments through which CNH Industrial manages its operations are based on the internal reporting used by the CNH Industrial Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation. The segments are organized based on products and services provided by CNH Industrial.

CNH Industrial has the following five operating segments:

 

   

Agricultural Equipment designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of farm machinery and implements, including two-wheel and four-wheel drive tractors, crawler tractors (Quadtrac®), combines, cotton pickers, grape and sugar cane harvesters, hay and forage equipment, planting and seeding equipment, soil preparation and cultivation implements, and material handling equipment. Agricultural equipment is sold under the New Holland Agriculture and Case IH Agriculture brands, as well as the Steyr brand in Europe and the Miller brand, primarily in North America. Following the acquisition of the grass and soil implement business of Kongskilde Industries in February 2017, certain agricultural equipment products will be sold under the Kongskilde, Överum and JF brands.

 

   

Construction Equipment designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of construction equipment including excavators, crawler dozers, graders, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders, compact track loaders, and telehandlers. Construction equipment is sold under the New Holland Construction and Case Construction Equipment brands.

 

   

Commercial Vehicles designs, produces and sells a full range of light, medium, and heavy vehicles for the transportation and distribution of goods under the Iveco brand, commuter buses and touring coaches under the Iveco Bus (previously Iveco Irisbus) and Heuliez Bus brands, quarry and mining equipment under the Iveco Astra brand, firefighting vehicles under the Magirus brand, and vehicles for civil defense and peace-keeping missions under the Iveco Defence Vehicles brand.

 

   

Powertrain designs, manufactures and offers a range of propulsion and transmission systems and axles for on- and off-road engine applications, as well as engines for marine application and power generation under the FPT Industrial brand.

 

   

Financial Services offers a range of financial services to dealers and customers. Financial Services provides and administers retail financing to customers for the purchase or lease of new and used industrial equipment or vehicles and other equipment sold by CNH Industrial dealers. In addition, Financial Services provides wholesale financing to CNH Industrial dealers. Wholesale financing consists primarily of floor plan financing and allows the dealers to purchase and maintain a representative inventory of products.

The activities carried out by the four industrial segments Agricultural Equipment, Construction Equipment, Commercial Vehicles and Powertrain, as well as corporate functions, are collectively referred to as “Industrial Activities”.

Revenues for each reported segment are those directly generated by or attributable to the segment as a result of its usual business activities and include revenues from transactions with third parties as well as those deriving from transactions with other segments, recognized at normal market prices. Segment expenses represent expenses deriving from each segment’s business activities both with third parties and other operating segments or which may otherwise be directly attributable to it. Expenses deriving from business activities with other segments are recognized at normal market prices.

The CODM reviews the performance of and allocates resources to the operating segments using Operating profit of Industrial Activities calculated using U.S. GAAP. Operating profit of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP is defined as net sales less cost of goods sold, selling, general and administrative expenses and research and development expenses. Operating Profit of Financial Services under U.S. GAAP is defined as revenues, less selling, general and administrative expenses, interest expenses and certain other operating expenses. In addition, with reference to Financial Services, the CODM assesses the performance of the segment on the basis of the Net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Furthermore, the CODM reviews expenditures for long-lived assets. Other operating segment asset information is not readily available.

29. Fair value measurement

Fair value measurements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the degree to which the inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the entire measurement:

 

   

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

 

   

Level 2 — Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;

 

   

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following table presents for each of the fair value hierarchy levels financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value, on a recurring basis, at March 31, 2017 and at December 31, 2016:

Receivables from financing activities

The fair value of Receivables from financing activities is based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at market discount rates that reflect conditions applied in various reference markets on receivables with similar characteristic, adjusted to take into account the credit risk of the counterparties.

Debt

All Debt is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement, with the exception of the bonds issued by CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. and the bond issued by CNH Industrial N.V. which are classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement, and its fair value has been estimated making reference to quoted prices in active markets.

The fair value of Asset-backed financing, Borrowings from banks, Payable represented by securities and Other debt are included in the Level 2 and has been estimated based on discounted cash flows analysis using the current market interest rates at year-end adjusted for the Group non-performance risk over the remaining term of the financial liability.

Other financial assets and liabilities

The carrying amount of Cash and cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Current tax receivables, Other current assets, Trade payables and Other current liabilities included in the condensed consolidated statement of financial position approximates their fair value, due to the short maturity of these items.

30. Related party transactions

In accordance with IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures, CNH Industrial’s related parties are companies and persons who are capable of exercising control or joint control or who have a significant influence over the Group. Related parties include CNH Industrial N.V.’s parent company EXOR N.V. (the holding company of the EXOR Group following the completion of the cross-border merger of EXOR S.p.A. with and into EXOR N.V. occurred on December 11, 2016) and the companies that EXOR N.V. controls or has a significant influence over, including Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“FCA”), Ferrari N.V. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Ferrari”), and CNH Industrial’s unconsolidated subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures. In addition, the members of the Board of Directors and managers of CNH Industrial with strategic responsibility and members of their families are also considered related parties.

As of March 31, 2017, on the basis of the information published on the website of The Netherlands Authority for the Financial Markets and in reference to the up-to-date information on the files of CNH Industrial, EXOR N.V. held 41.7% of CNH Industrial’s voting power and had the ability to significantly influence the decisions submitted to a vote of CNH Industrial’s shareholders, including approval of annual dividends, the election and removal of directors, mergers or other business combinations, the acquisition or disposition of assets, and issuances of equity and the incurrence of indebtedness. The percentage above has been calculated as the ratio of (i) the aggregate number of common shares and special voting shares beneficially owned by EXOR N.V. to (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding common shares and special voting shares of CNH Industrial as of March 31, 2017.

In addition, CNH Industrial engages in transactions with its unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates and other related parties on commercial terms that are normal in the respective markets, considering the characteristics of the goods or services involved.

The Company’s Audit Committee reviews and evaluates all significant related party transactions.

In connection with the Demerger, Fiat (now known as FCA) and Fiat Industrial (now known as CNH Industrial) entered into a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) which sets forth the primary terms and conditions pursuant to which the various service provider subsidiaries of such entities provide services (such as purchasing, tax, accounting and other back office services, security and training) to the various service receiving subsidiaries. As structured, the applicable service provider and service receiver subsidiaries become parties to the MSA through the execution of an Opt-In Letter which may contain additional terms and conditions. Pursuant to the MSA, service receivers are required to pay to service providers the actual cost of the services plus a negotiated margin. FCA subsidiaries provide CNH Industrial with administrative services such as accounting, cash management, maintenance of plant and equipment, security, information systems and training under the terms and conditions of the MSA and the applicable Opt-in Letter.

32. EU-IFRS to U.S. GAAP reconciliation

This Interim Report has been prepared in accordance with the EU-IFRS (see section “Significant accounting policies”, paragraph “Basis of preparation”, for additional information).

CNH Industrial reports quarterly and annual consolidated financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for SEC reporting purposes, and in accordance with EU-IFRS for European listing purposes and for Dutch law requirements.

EU-IFRS differ in certain significant requirements from U.S. GAAP. In order to help readers to understand the difference between the Group’s two sets of financial statements, CNH Industrial has provided, on a voluntary basis, a reconciliation from EU-IFRS to U.S. GAAP as follows:

Description of reconciling items

Reconciling items presented in the tables above are described as follows:

 

(a)

Development costs

Under EU-IFRS, costs relating to development projects are recognized as intangible assets when costs can be measured reliably and the technical feasibility of the product, volumes and pricing support the view that the development expenditure will generate future economic benefits. Under U.S. GAAP, development costs are expensed as incurred. As a result, costs incurred related to development projects that have been capitalized under EU-IFRS are expensed as incurred under U.S. GAAP. Amortization expenses, net of result on disposal and impairment charges of previously capitalized development costs recorded under EU-IFRS, have been reversed under U.S. GAAP. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, under EU-IFRS the Group capitalized $74 million ($80 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016) of development costs and amortized $116 million ($120 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016) of previously capitalized development costs that were reversed under U.S. GAAP. No impairment and no result on disposal were recognized in the three months ended March 31, 2017 and in 2016.

 

(b)

Other adjustments

It mainly includes the following items:

 

   

Goodwill and other intangible assets: Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually under both EU-IFRS and U.S. GAAP. The difference in goodwill and other intangible assets between the Group’s two sets of financial statements is primarily due to the different times when EU-IFRS and ASC 350 - Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, were adopted. CNH Industrial transitioned to EU-IFRS on January 1, 2004. Prior to the adoption of EU-IFRS, goodwill was recorded as an intangible asset and amortized to income on a straight-line basis over its estimated period of recoverability, not exceeding 20 years. CNH Industrial adopted ASC 350 on January 1, 2002. Under U.S. GAAP through December 31, 2001, goodwill was recorded as an intangible asset and amortized to income on a straight-line basis over a period not exceeding 40 years.

 

   

Defined benefit plans: The differences related to defined benefit plans are mainly due to the different accounting for actuarial gains and losses and the net interest component of the defined benefit cost between EU-IFRS and U.S. GAAP. Under EU-IFRS, actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income without reclassification to profit or loss in subsequent years; net interest expense or income is recognized by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset (the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets, allowing for any assets ceiling restriction). Under U.S. GAAP, actuarial gains and losses are deferred through the use of the corridor method; interest cost applicable to the liability is recognized using the discount rate, while an expected return on assets is recognized reflecting management’s expectations on long-term average rates of return on funds invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligations.

 

   

Restructuring provisions: The main difference between EU-IFRS and U.S. GAAP with respect to accruing for restructuring costs is that EU-IFRS places emphasis on the recognition of the costs of the exit plan as a whole, whereas U.S. GAAP requires that each type of cost is examined individually to determine when it may be accrued. Under IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, a provision for restructuring costs is recognized when the Group has a constructive obligation to restructure. Under U.S. GAAP, termination benefits are recognized in the period in which a liability is incurred. The application of U.S. GAAP often results in different timing recognition for the Group’s restructuring activities.

(c)

Tax impact on adjustments

This item includes the tax effects of adjustments included in (a) and (b) and mainly refers to development costs.

 

(d)

Deferred tax assets and tax contingencies recognition

The Group’s policy for accounting for deferred income taxes under EU-IFRS is described in section “Significant accounting policies” of the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2016. This policy is similar to U.S. GAAP which states that a deferred tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized based on available evidence. The most significant accounting difference between EU-IFRS and U.S. GAAP relates to development costs, which also has a significant impact on accumulated deferred tax assets or liabilities and on U.S. GAAP pretax book income or loss in certain jurisdictions. As a result, the assessment of tax contingencies and recoverability of deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction can vary significantly between EU-IFRS and U.S. GAAP for financial reporting purposes. This adjustment relates primarily to jurisdictions with U.S. GAAP pretax book losses higher than those recorded for EU-IFRS purposes.

 

33. Subsequent events

CNH Industrial has evaluated subsequent events through May 5, 2017, which is the date the condensed consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance, and identified the following:

 

   

At the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on April 14, 2017, the Company’s shareholders approved a dividend of 0.11 per common share. Shareholders who held common shares traded on the New York Stock Exchange on April 26, 2017, the U.S. record date, received the dividend in U.S. dollars in the amount of $0.118195 per common share, translated at the exchange rate reported by the European Central Bank on April 20, 2017. The dividend in the amount of $161 million (150 million) was paid on May 2, 2017. On April 14, 2017, CNH Industrial’s shareholders renewed the grant of authority to the Board of Directors to repurchase up to a maximum of 10% of CNH Industrial’s issued common shares as of the date of the AGM. The authorization, which is valid for a period of 18 months from April 14, 2017 up to and including October 13, 2018, provides for the repurchase of CNH Industrial’s common shares in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

 

   

In April 2017, CNH Industrial Capital LLC issued $500 million in principal of notes at an annual fixed rate of 4.375% due in 2022.

 

   

On April 27, 2017, CNH Industrial announced the early redemption of all of the outstanding $636 million in principal amount of Case New Holland Industrial Inc. 7 78% Senior Notes due 2017.
