CNH INDUSTRIAL N.V.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNH Industrial” or the “Company”) is incorporated in, and under the laws of, the Netherlands. CNH Industrial has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its principal office in London, England, United Kingdom. The Company was formed on September 29, 2013 as a result of the business combination transaction between Fiat Industrial S.p.A. (“Fiat Industrial”) and its majority owned subsidiary CNH Global N.V. (“CNH Global”). Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “CNH Industrial” and the “Company” refer to CNH Industrial and its subsidiaries.
The condensed consolidated financial statements of CNH Industrial N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries have been voluntarily prepared by the Company without audit. Although prepared on a voluntary basis, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the report comply in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) governing interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in the Company’s annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the fiscal year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related accompanying notes and disclosures. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Certain financial information in this report has been presented by geographic area. Starting from the first quarter of 2019, the composition of CNH Industrial's regions has been revised as follows: (1) North America; (2) Europe; (3) South America and (4) Rest of World. The geographic designations have the following meanings:
North America (formerly NAFTA): United States, Canada and Mexico;
Europe: member countries of the European Union, European Free Trade Association, Ukraine, and Balkans, formerly included in EMEA;
South America (formerly LATAM): Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands; and
Rest of World: Continental Asia (including Turkey and Russia), Oceania and member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (excluding Ukraine), formerly included in APAC, and African continent and Middle East, formerly included in EMEA.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adopted in 2019
Derivatives and Hedging
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”), which amends ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The purpose of this ASU is to better align a company’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships, simplify the hedge accounting requirements and improve the disclosures of hedging arrangements. Among other provisions, the new standard (1) requires an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported, (2) eliminates the separate measurement and reporting of hedge ineffectiveness and (3) permits an entity to recognize in earnings the initial value of an excluded component under a systematic and rational method over the life of the derivative instrument. The Company adopted ASU 2017-12 on January 1, 2019. The adoption did not have a material impact on our results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
Leases
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes ASC 840, Leases. Subsequently, the FASB has issued additional ASUs which further clarify this guidance. The ASU's most prominent change is the requirement for lessees to recognize leased assets and liabilities classified as operating leases under the previous standard. The ASU does not significantly change the lessee’s recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Lessors’ accounting under the ASC is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. ASU 2016-02 also will require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.


6


CNH Industrial has adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective approach, without recasting prior periods. CNH Industrial has applied certain practical expedients upon transition, including: not to reassess under the new guidance its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs; and, those provided for short-term leases. In such case, the lease payments associated with leases are recognized as expense in the income statement. In addition, the Company has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components.

At January 1, 2019, the Company recognized approximately $480 million of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities without transition effect to equity.

The following paragraph presents the Company’s policy for leases for which it is a lessee after the adoption of the new accounting standard ASU 2016-02.

Lease policy
A lease is a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset (the leased asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The lease term determined by the Company comprises the non-cancellable period of lease contract together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. For lease agreements, we combine lease and non-lease components.
For leases with terms not exceeding twelve months (short-term leases), the Company recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term as an operating expenses in the income statement.
For all other leases, the right-of-use asset includes the amount of lease liability recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Correspondingly, the Company recognizes a lease liability, measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.
For finance leases, the right-of-use asset is classified within Property, plant and equipment, net and the lease liability, within Debt. Assets held under finance leases, which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are recognized as assets of the Company at the lower of fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments.
In case of operating leases, the right-of-use asset is classified within Other assets and the lease liability, within Other liabilities. After the commencement date, the Company recognizes in profit or loss a single lease cost, calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. In particular, after lease commencement, the lease liability is measured at the present value of any remaining lease payments, discounted by using the rate determined at lease commencement, consistently with the model used to calculate the liability related to the finance lease. Correspondingly, the right-of-use asset is measured as the lease liability adjusted by accrued or prepaid rents (i.e., the aggregate difference between the cash payment and straight-line lease cost), remaining unamortized initial direct costs and lease incentives, and any impairments of the right-of-use asset.
Comprehensive Income
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”), which amends ASC 220, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income. In December 2017, the U.S. government enacted new tax legislation (“U.S. Tax Reform”). Included in the provisions of U.S. Tax Reform was a reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. U.S. GAAP requires that the remeasurement of deferred taxes to the new corporate tax rate occur in the period in which the legislation is enacted with the deferred tax adjustment being recorded in the provision for income taxes, including items for which the tax effects were originally recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”). This treatment results in the items in OCI reflecting a disproportionate tax rate, a result often referred to as stranded tax effects. This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated OCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from U.S. Tax Reform. ASU 2018-02 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2019, and reclassified $65 million of tax effects from "Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)" to "Retained earnings" within its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Changes in Stockholders' Equity and Noncontrolling Interests
In August 2018, the SEC adopted a final rule that amends certain disclosure requirements that have become duplicative, overlapping, or outdated in light of other SEC disclosure requirements, U.S. GAAP, or changes in the information environment. However, the guidance also added requirements for registrants to include in their interim financial statements a reconciliation of changes in stockholders’ equity for each period for which an income statement is required (both year-to-date and quarterly periods). The Company adopted the new interim disclosure requirement in its U.S. GAAP quarterly report for the three months ended March 31, 2019, which had no material impact to the Statement of Changes in Equity.

Not Yet Adopted
Financial Instruments
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which establishes ASC 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses. In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASU 2018-19”), which supersedes existing Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). The ASU introduced a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. ASU 2018-19 is effective for annual period beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Fair Value Measurement
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. This ASU modifies the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying, or adding certain disclosures. The effective date is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted for the removed disclosures and delayed adoption until fiscal year 2021 permitted for the new disclosures. The removed and modified disclosures will be adopted on a retrospective basis and the new disclosures will be adopted on a prospective basis. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Intangibles - Cloud Computing Arrangements
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement ("ASU 2018-15"), which expands upon the guidance set forth in ASU 2015-05, Customer's Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. ASU 2018-15 aligns the requirements for capitalization of implementation costs in a cloud computing service contract with those requirements for capitalization of implementation costs incurred for an internal-use software license. ASU 2018-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted in any interim period for which financial statements have not been issued. ASU 2018-15 may be applied prospectively from the date the guidance is first applied or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-17, Targeted Improvements to Related Party Guidance for Variable Interest Entities ("ASU 2018-17"), which expands the application of a specific private company alternative related to VIEs and changes the guidance for determining whether a decision-making fee is a variable interest. ASU 2018-17 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted in any interim period. ASU 2018-17 is required to be applied retrospectively from the date the guidance is first applied. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
Defined Benefit Plans Disclosure

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-14, Compensation - Retirement Benefits - Defined Benefit Plans - General: Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans ("ASU 2018-14"), which modifies the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans by removing and adding certain disclosures for these plans. ASU 2018-14 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of this ASU on its related disclosures.

Contract liabilities recorded in Other liabilities were $1,290 million and $1,368 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Contract liabilities primarily relate to extended warranties/maintenance and repair contracts and transactions for the sale of vehicles with a buy-back commitment. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, revenues included $163 million and $154 million, respectively, relating to contract liabilities outstanding at the beginning of each period. As of March 31, 2019, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $1.9 billion. The Company expects to recognize revenue on approximately 40% and 84% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 36 months, respectively, with the remaining recognized thereafter.
4. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company consolidates various securitization trusts and facilities that have been determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and of which the Company is a primary beneficiary. The Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. For further information regarding VIEs, please see “Note 9: Receivables.”
The following table presents certain assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs, which are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets included in this report. The assets in the table below include only those assets that can be used to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs. The liabilities in the table below include third party liabilities of the consolidated VIEs for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company.

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised into common stock. Stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units are considered dilutive securities.
A reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in millions, except per share amounts):

On February 20, 2018, CNH Industrial announced that the United States Supreme Court ruled in its favor in Reese vs. CNH Industrial N.V. and CNH Industrial America LLC. The decision allowed CNH Industrial to terminate or modify various retiree healthcare benefits

10


previously provided to certain UAW Union represented Company retirees. On April 16, 2018, CNH Industrial announced its determination to modify the benefits provided to the applicable retirees (“Benefits Modification”) to make them consistent with the benefits provided to current eligible CNH Industrial retirees who had been represented by the UAW. The Benefits Modification resulted in a reduction of the plan liability by $527 million. This amount will be amortized from other comprehensive income (loss) to the income statement over approximately 4.5 years, which represents the average service period to attain eligibility conditions for active participants. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, and March 31, 2018, $30 million and $0 million of amortization (“Benefits Modification Amortization”) was recorded as a pre-tax gain in Other, net, respectively.
7. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were 25.8% and 25.6%, respectively.
The Company continues to evaluate the realizability of its Italian deferred tax assets, which were $0.7 billion at December 31, 2018. In accordance with applicable guidance, we assessed and weighed all positive and negative evidence in concluding, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, it was appropriate to maintain the full valuation allowance currently placed against these assets. The Company will continue this assessment throughout 2019.
The Company is subject to income taxes and, therefore, routinely encounters income tax audits in many jurisdictions around the world. As a result of concluding various ongoing audits in multiple income tax jurisdictions, it is at least reasonably possible the Company’s amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change during the next twelve months. We do not, however, anticipate those changes having a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, balance sheet or cash flows.
8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The operating segments through which the Company manages its operations are based on the internal reporting used by the Company’s 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 the Company.
CNH Industrial has the following five operating segments:
Agriculture 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 brands, as well as the STEYR, Kongskilde, Överum, and JF brands in Europe and the Miller brand, primarily in North America and Australia.
Construction 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 CASE Construction Equipment and New Holland Construction brands.
Commercial and Specialty Vehicles designs, manufactures and distributes 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 distributes a range of engines, transmission systems and axles for on- and off-road applications, as well as for marine 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. Financial Services also provides trade receivables factoring services to CNH Industrial companies.
Revenues for each reported segment are those directly generated by or attributable to the segment as a result of its 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 assesses segment performance and makes decisions about resource allocation based upon Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA. The Company believes Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA more fully reflect segment and consolidated profitability. Adjusted EBIT is defined as net income/(loss) before income taxes, interest expenses of Industrial Activities, net, restructuring expenses, the finance and non-service component of pension and other post-employment benefits costs, foreign exchange gains/(losses) and certain non-recurring items. In particular, non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers to be rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities.

11


Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBIT plus depreciation and amortization (including on assets under operating leases and assets sold under buy-back commitments). With reference to Financial Services, the CODM assesses the performance of the segment on the basis of net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following tables summarize selected financial information by segment as well as the reconciliation from consolidated net income (loss) under U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

Past due balances of financing receivables 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 financing receivables represent loans for which the Company 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.

Financing receivables are considered impaired when it is probable that the Company 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.

Troubled Debt Restructurings
A restructuring of a receivable constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when a lender grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. As a collateral based lender, the Company typically will repossess collateral in lieu of restructuring receivables. As such, for retail receivables, concessions are typically provided based on bankruptcy court proceedings. For wholesale receivables, concessions granted may include extended contract maturities, inclusion of interest-only periods, modification of a contractual interest rate to a below market interest rate and waiving of interest and principal.
TDRs are reviewed along with other receivables as part of management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses attributable to TDRs is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the

16


liquidation of collateral. In determining collateral value, the Company estimates the current fair market value of the equipment collateral and considers credit enhancements such as additional collateral and third-party guarantees.
As of March 31, 2019, the Company had 264 retail and finance lease contracts classified as TDRs where a court in the North America region has determined the concession. The pre-modification value was $9 million and the post-modification value was $8 million. Additionally, the Company had 365 accounts with a balance of $17 million undergoing bankruptcy proceedings where a concession has not yet been determined. As of March 31, 2018, the Company had 279 retail and finance lease contracts classified as TDRs where a court in the North America region has determined the concession. The pre-modification value of these contracts was $9 million and the post-modification value was $8 million. Additionally, the Company had 393 accounts with a balance of $21 million undergoing bankruptcy proceedings in North America where a concession has not yet been determined. As the outcome of the bankruptcy cases is determined by a court based on available assets, subsequent re-defaults are unusual and were not material for retail and finance lease contracts that were modified in a TDR during the previous 12 months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
As of March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company’s wholesale TDR agreements were immaterial.
Transfers of Financial Assets
The Company 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 special purpose entity (“SPE”) 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). SPEs utilized in securitizations differ from other entities included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements because the assets they hold are legally isolated. For bankruptcy analysis purposes, the Company has sold the receivables to the SPEs in a true sale and the SPEs are separate legal entities. Upon transfer of the receivables to the SPEs, the receivables and certain cash flows derived from them become restricted for use in meeting obligations to the SPEs creditors. The SPEs have ownership of cash balances that also have restrictions for the benefit of the SPEs’ investors. The Company’s interests in the SPEs’ receivables are subordinate to the interests of third party investors. None of the receivables that are directly or indirectly sold or transferred in any of these transactions are available to pay the Company’s creditors until all obligations of the SPE have been fulfilled.
These securitization trusts were determined to be VIEs, and consequently, the Company has consolidated these trusts. In its role as servicer, the Company has the power to direct the trusts’ activities. Through its retained interests, the Company has an obligation to absorb certain losses or the right to receive certain benefits that could potentially be significant to the trusts.
No recourse provisions exist that allow holders of the asset-backed securities issued by the trusts to put those securities back to the Company although the Company provides customary representations and warranties that could give rise to an obligation to repurchase from the trusts any receivables for which there is a breach of the representations and warranties. Moreover, the Company does not guarantee any securities issued by the trusts. The trusts have a limited life and generally terminate upon final distribution of amounts owed to investors or upon exercise of a cleanup-call option by the Company in its role as servicer.
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 qualify for the derecognition of the assets since the risks and rewards connected with collection are not substantially transferred, and, accordingly, the Company continues to recognize the receivables transferred by this means in its balance sheet and a financial liability of the same amount under asset-backed financing.
At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amount of such restricted assets included in financing receivables above are the following (in millions):

11. LEASES
Lessee
The Company has mainly operating lease contracts for buildings, plant and machinery, vehicles, IT equipment and machinery.
Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense ($4 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019) for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company incurred operating lease expenses of $39 million.
At March 31, 2019, the Company has recorded approximately $454 million of a right-of-use asset and $453 million of lease liability included in Other Assets and Other Liabilities, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, leased assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations were $18 million. The operating cash outflow for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease obligations was $40 million.
At March 31, 2019, the weighted average remaining lease term and weighted average discount rate for operating leases were 6.8 years and 3.2%.
Future minimum lease payments repayments under non-cancellable leases as of March 31, 2019 were as follows:

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As a global company 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 the Company 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 such a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, an accrual has been made against the Company’s earnings and included in “Other liabilities” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

20


Although the ultimate outcome of legal matters pending against CNH Industrial and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted, the Company 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 condensed consolidated financial statements.
Environmental
Pursuant to the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), which imposes strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several liability for remediation and liability for natural resource damages, and other federal and state laws that impose similar liabilities, CNH Industrial has received inquiries for information or notices of its potential liability regarding 66 non-owned U.S. sites at which regulated materials allegedly generated by CNH Industrial were released or disposed (“Waste Sites”). Of the Waste Sites, 16 are on the National Priority List (“NPL”) promulgated pursuant to CERCLA. For 60 of the Waste Sites, the monetary amount or extent of the Company’s liability has either been resolved, it has not been named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”), or its liability is likely de minimis.
Because estimates of remediation costs are subject to revision as more information becomes available about the extent and cost of remediation and settlement agreements can be reopened under certain circumstances, the Company’s potential liability for remediation costs associated with the 66 Waste Sites could change. Moreover, because liability under CERCLA and similar laws can be joint and several, CNH Industrial could be required to pay amounts in excess of its pro rata share of remediation costs. However, when appropriate, the financial strength of other PRPs has been considered in the determination of the Company’s potential liability. CNH Industrial believes that the costs associated with the Waste Sites will not have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial position, or results of operations.
The Company is conducting environmental investigatory or remedial activities at certain properties that are currently or were formerly owned and/or operated or that are being decommissioned. The Company believes that the outcome of these activities will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, or results of operations.
The actual costs for environmental matters could differ materially from those costs currently anticipated due to the nature of historical handling and disposal of hazardous substances typical of manufacturing and related operations, the discovery of currently unknown conditions and as a result of more aggressive enforcement by regulatory authorities and changes in existing laws and regulations. As in the past, CNH Industrial plans to continue funding its costs of environmental compliance from operating cash flows.
Investigation, analysis and remediation of environmental sites is a time consuming activity. The Company expects such costs to be incurred and claims to be resolved over an extended period of time that could exceed 30 years for some sites. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, environmental reserves of approximately $37 million and $38 million, respectively, were established to address these specific estimated potential liabilities. Such reserves are undiscounted and do not include anticipated recoveries, if any, from insurance companies. After considering these reserves, management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Other Litigation and Investigation
Follow-up on Damages Claims: Iveco, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, and its competitors were subject to an investigation by the European Commission (the “Commission”) into certain business practices in the European Union in relation to M&H trucks. On July 19, 2016, the Commission announced a settlement with Iveco. Following the settlement, CNH Industrial has been named as defendant in private litigation commenced in various European jurisdictions and Israel by customers and other third parties, either acting individually or as part of a wider group or class of claimants. These claims remain at an early stage. Further, CNH Industrial expects to face further claims based on the same legal grounds in various jurisdictions. The extent and outcome of these claims cannot be predicted at this time.
Guarantees
CNH Industrial provided guarantees on the debt or commitments of third parties and performance guarantees on non-consolidated affiliates as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 totaling of $435 million and $471 million, respectively.
16. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company may elect to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This fair value option would be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election can be made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability or firm commitment or, when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not be revoked once made. The Company has not elected the fair value measurement option for eligible items.
Fair-Value Hierarchy
The hierarchy of valuation techniques for financial instruments is based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

21


Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.
Determination of Fair Value
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In some cases where a market price is not available, the Company will use observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the items are classified in Level 2.
If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates, currency rates, or yield curves. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models, and the key inputs to those models as well as any significant assumptions.
Derivatives
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 enter into derivative or other financial instruments for speculative purposes. The credit and market risk related to derivatives is reduced through diversification among various counterparties, utilizing mandatory termination clauses and/or collateral support agreements. Derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The cash flows underlying all derivative contracts were recorded in operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Foreign Exchange Derivatives
CNH Industrial has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and swaps 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. 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 “Other, net” 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 $7.7 billion and $7.2 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 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 the Company 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 are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in interest expense over the period in which CNH Industrial recognizes interest expense on the related debt.

22


Interest rate derivatives that have been designated as fair value hedge relationships have been used by CNH Industrial to mitigate the volatility in the fair value of existing fixed rate bonds and medium-term notes due to changes in floating interest rate benchmarks. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in “Interest expense” in the period in which they occur and an offsetting gain or loss is also reflected in “Interest expense” based on changes in the fair value of the debt instrument being hedged due to changes in floating interest rate benchmarks.
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. Net gains and losses on these instruments were insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
All of CNH Industrial’s interest rate derivatives outstanding as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 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 $5.5 billion and $5.4 billion at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

18. RELATED PARTY INFORMATION
CNH Industrial’s related parties are primarily EXOR N.V. and the companies that EXOR N.V. controls or has significant influence over, including Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“FCA”) and Ferrari N.V. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Ferrari”). As of March 31, 2019, EXOR N.V. held 42.1% of CNH Industrial’s voting power and had the ability to significantly influence

27


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 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, 2019. In addition, CNH Industrial engages in transactions with its unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates over which CNH Industrial has a significant influence or jointly controls.
The Company’s Audit Committee reviews and evaluates all significant related party transactions.
Transactions with EXOR N.V. and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates
EXOR N.V. is an investment holding company in Europe. Among other things, EXOR N.V. manages a portfolio that includes investments in FCA and Ferrari. CNH Industrial did not enter into any significant transactions with EXOR N.V. during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
In connection with the establishment of Fiat Industrial (now CNH Industrial) through the demerger from Fiat (now FCA), the two companies entered into a Master Services Agreement (“MSA”) which sets forth the primary terms and conditions pursuant to which the service provider subsidiaries of CNH Industrial and FCA provide services to the 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 that 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 letters.
Additionally, CNH Industrial sells engines and light commercial vehicles to and purchases engine blocks and other components from FCA subsidiaries. Furthermore, CNH Industrial and FCA may engage in other minor transactions in the ordinary course of business.
These transactions with FCA are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements as follows:

19. SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
The operations and key financial measures and financial analysis differ significantly for manufacturing and distribution businesses and financial services businesses; therefore, management believes that certain supplemental disclosures are important in understanding the consolidated operations and financial results of CNH Industrial. This supplemental data is as follows:
Industrial Activities - The financial information captioned “Industrial Activities” reflects the consolidation of all majority-owned subsidiaries except for Financial Services. Financial Services has been included using the equity method of accounting whereby the net income and net assets of Financial Services are reflected, respectively, in “Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations, and in “Investment in Financial Services” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Financial Services - The financial information captioned “Financial Services” reflects the consolidation or combination of Financial Services business.
Transactions between the “Industrial Activities” and “Financial Services” have been eliminated to arrive at the condensed consolidated financial statements.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNH Industrial” or the “Company”) is incorporated in, and under the laws of, the Netherlands. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “CNH Industrial” and the “Company” refer to CNH Industrial and its subsidiaries.
The Company has five reportable segments reflecting the five businesses directly managed by CNH Industrial N.V., consisting of: (i) Agriculture, which designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment (ii) Construction, which designs, produces and sells construction equipment (iii) Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, which designs, produces and sell trucks, commercial and specialty vehicles, and buses, (iv) Powertrain, which designs, produces and sells engines, transmissions and axles for those vehicles and engines for marine and power generation applications; and (v) Financial Services, which provides financial services to the customers of our products. The Company’s worldwide agricultural equipment, construction equipment, commercial and specialty vehicles, powertrain operations as well as corporate functions are collectively referred to as “Industrial Activities.”
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this report, as well as our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2018 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year due to seasonal and other factors.
Certain financial information in this report has been presented by geographic area. Starting from the first quarter of 2019, the composition of CNH Industrial's regions has been revised as follows: (1) North America; (2) Europe; (3) South America and (4) Rest of World. The geographic designations have the following meanings:
North America (formerly NAFTA): United States, Canada and Mexico;
Europe: member countries of the European Union, European Free Trade Association, Ukraine, and Balkans, formerly included in EMEA;
South America (formerly LATAM): Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands; and
Rest of World: Continental Asia (including Turkey and Russia), Oceania and member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States (excluding Ukraine), formerly included in APAC, and African continent and Middle East, formerly included in EMEA.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We monitor our operations through the use of several non-GAAP financial measures. We believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding our operating results and enhance the reader’s ability to assess our financial performance and financial position. These measures facilitate management’s ability 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 financial measures have no standardized meaning in 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.
Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes, interest expenses of Industrial Activities, net, restructuring expenses, the finance and non-service component of pension and other post-employment costs, foreign exchange gains/(losses) and certain non-recurring items. In particular, non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers to be rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities. We provide a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure included in our consolidated statements of operations, to Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as Adjusted EBIT plus depreciation and amortization including on assets sold under operating leases and assets sold under buy-back commitments. We provide a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure included in our consolidated statements of operations, to Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA.

33


Net Debt and Net Debt of Industrial Activities (or Net Industrial Debt)
Net Debt is defined as total debt less intersegment notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivative hedging debt. We provide a reconciliation of Total Debt, which is the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure included in our consolidated balance sheets, to Net Debt. 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 Debt of Industrial Activities.
Revenues on a Constant Currency Basis
We discuss the fluctuations in revenues on a constant currency basis by applying the prior-year average exchange rates to current year’s revenue expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange (“FX”) rate fluctuations.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The operations, and key financial measures and financial analysis, differ significantly for manufacturing and distribution businesses and financial services businesses; therefore, management believes that certain supplemental disclosures are important in understanding our consolidated operations and financial results. For further information, see “Note 19: Supplemental Information” to our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2019, where we present supplemental consolidating data split by Industrial Activities and Financial Services. Industrial Activities include the Financial Services business on the equity basis of accounting. Transactions between Industrial Activities and Financial Services have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated data.

Revenues
We recorded revenues of $6,457 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, down 4.7% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 (up 1.7% on a constant currency basis). Net sales of Industrial Activities were $6,006 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, down 4.7% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 (up 1.9% on a constant currency basis), with currency translation impact more than offsetting strong price realization performance in Agriculture and Construction, and sales volume improvements in Commercial and Specialty Vehicles.

34


Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold were $4,966 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared with $5,256 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. As a percentage of net sales of Industrial Activities, cost of goods sold was 82.7% in the three months ended March 31, 2019 (83.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2018).
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $539 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 (8.3% of total revenues), down $51 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018 (8.7% of total revenues).
Research and Development Expenses
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, research and development expenses were $244 million compared to $227 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The expenses in both periods were primarily attributable to spending on engine development costs associated with emission requirements and continued investment in new products.
Restructuring Expenses
Restructuring expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $8 million compared to $3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $183 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $200 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The interest expense attributable to Industrial Activities for the three months ended March 31, 2019, net of interest income and eliminations, was $53 million compared to $93 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to refinancing and early retirement of certain high yield debt as well as lower average indebtedness.
Other, net
Other, net expenses were $168 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and includes a pre-tax gain of $30 million as a result of the amortization over approximately 4.5 years of the $527 million positive impact from a healthcare plan modification following a judgement in favor of the Company issued by the United States Supreme Court in April 2018. Other, net expenses were $251 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and there was no Benefits Modification Amortization for the period.

Net sales of Industrial Activities were $6,006 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, down 4.7% compared to the first quarter of 2018 (up 1.9% on a constant currency basis), with currency translation impact more than offsetting strong price realization performance in Agriculture and Construction, and sales volume improvements in Commercial and Specialty Vehicles.
Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities was up 6.5% to $278 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $261 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, with an Adjusted EBIT margin of 4.6%, up 50 basis points (“bps”) compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Adjusted EBITDA of Industrial Activities was $525 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019, down 4.0% compared to $547 million during the three months ended March 31, 2018, with an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 8.7%, flat compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Agriculture's net sales decreased 3.5% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, but were up 1.7% on a constant currency basis. Improved sales volume from end-user replacement demand in the North America row crop sector, and from sustained demand in Brazil, coupled with strong price realization performance across all geographies, were partially offset by a general slowdown of activity in Turkey and by extremely dry weather affecting harvest conditions in Australia.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, worldwide industry unit sales for tractors were down 8% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, while worldwide industry sales for combines were up 7%. In North America, industry volumes in the over 140 horsepower (“hp”) tractor market sector were down 3% and combines were up 28%. Industry volumes for under 140 hp tractors in North America were up 4%. European markets were up 12% and down 17% for tractors and combines, respectively. In South America, the tractor market increased 2% and the combine market increased 36%. Rest of World markets decreased 12% for tractors and increased 7% for combines.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $168 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 ($186 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018), with Adjusted EBIT margin at 6.7%. Accelerated investment in its precision farming platform and the introduction of Stage V emission requirements-compliant engine applications increased the segment's product development spending by 19% (in constant currency) compared to the first quarter of 2018. Net of this increase, segment performance improved as a result of price realization achieved, in excess of raw material headwinds and the impacts in the period from the enactment of the U.S. tariffs with respect to China.

Construction's net sales decreased 6.2% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, down 2.3% on a constant currency basis mainly due to selective inventory destocking actions in our North American dealer network.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Construction's worldwide compact equipment and worldwide general equipment industry sales were up 5% and 3%, respectively, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. This was partially offset by a decrease in worldwide road building and site equipment industry sales of 4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $13 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 (breakeven in the three months ended March 31, 2018), with an Adjusted EBIT margin of 2.0%. The increase in profit was the result of net price realization across the product portfolio and production efficiencies, more than offsetting raw material and tariff headwinds.

Commercial and Specialty Vehicles’ net sales decreased 3.2% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018 (up 5.4% on a constant currency basis). Higher industry volume and favorable product mix in light commercial vehicles and in buses in Europe were more than offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation.
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the European truck market (GVW ≥3.5 tons), excluding U.K. and Ireland, increased 8% compared to the same period in 2018. In Europe, the Light Commercial Vehicles (“LCV”) market (GVW 3.5-7.49 tons) increased 11% and the Medium & Heavy (“M&H”) truck market (GVW ≥7.5 tons) increased 4%. In South America, new truck registrations (GVW ≥3.5 tons) increased 17% over the same period of 2018 with an increase of 52% in Brazil, partially offset by a decrease of 52% in Argentina. In Rest of World, new truck registrations decreased by 4%.

38


In the three months ended March 31, 2019, trucks’ estimated market share in the European truck market (GVW ≥3.5 tons), excluding U.K. and Ireland, was 10.4%, down 1.2 percentage points ("p.p.") compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. trucks’ market share in South America in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was 7.9%, down 2.9 p.p. compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Commercial and Specialty Vehicles delivered approximately 33,007 vehicles (including buses and specialty vehicles) in the three months ended March 31, 2019, representing a 1% decrease from the same prior-year period. Volumes were 9% higher in LCV and 24% lower in M&H truck segments. Commercial and Specialty Vehicles’ deliveries were flat in Europe, increased 9% in South America and decreased 11% in Rest of World.
In the three months ended March 31, 2019, trucks' ratio of orders received to units shipped and billed, or book-to-bill ratio, for the European truck market was 1.19. In the three months ended March 31, 2019, truck order intake in Europe decreased 7% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, with a 22% decrease in M&H and a 2% decrease in LCV.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $51 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, slightly up compared to $49 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018). Positive volume in light trucks and buses, favorable product mix and a positive underlying price performance were almost offset by negative foreign exchange transaction and year-over-year hedge impacts, higher production costs including negative absorption from lower volumes in our medium and heavy-duty operations, and increased product development spending. Adjusted EBIT margin increased 10 bps to 2.1% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Powertrain
Net Sales
Powertrain's net sales decreased 12.6% in the first quarter of 2019 compared to the first quarter of 2018, down 5.7% on a constant currency basis due to lower sales volume as a result of strong 2018 year-end activity. Sales to external customers accounted for 47% of total net sales (48% in the first quarter of 2018).
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, Powertrain sold approximately 146,700 engines, a decrease of 4% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. In terms of major customers, 27% of engine units were supplied to Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, 16% to Agriculture, 5% to Construction and the remaining 52% to external customers. Additionally, Powertrain delivered approximately 17,400 transmissions, a decrease of 11% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018, and approximately 47,000 axles, a decrease of 6% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $96 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 ($95 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018). Favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiencies were offset by increased sales development expenses in support of the segment's marketing activity to further expand third party business, and higher product development spending. Adjusted EBIT margin increased 130 bps to 9.3% in the three months ended March 31, 2019.
Financial Services Performance
Finance, Interest and Other Income
Financial Services' revenues totaled $474 million in the first quarter of 2019, a 5.6% decrease compared to the first quarter of 2018 (down 1.3% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to lower used equipment sales in North America, partially offset by higher average portfolio in South America and Rest of World.
Net Income
Net income of Financial Services was $95 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, a decrease of $8 million over the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily attributable to reduced interest spreads, partially offset by improved cost of risk and operating lease performance, as well as higher average portfolios in South America and Rest of World.
In the three months ended March 31, 2019, retail loan originations, including unconsolidated joint ventures, were $2.2 billion, flat compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018. The managed portfolio, including unconsolidated joint ventures, was $26.1 billion as of March 31, 2019 (of which retail was 61% and wholesale was 39%), down $0.4 billion compared to March 31, 2018. Excluding the impact of currency translation, the managed portfolio increased $1.2 billion compared to the same period in 2018.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
See our critical accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the most recent annual report filed on Form 20-F. There have been no material changes to these policies.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following discussion of liquidity and capital resources principally focuses on our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows and our condensed consolidated balance sheets. 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 Flows
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, consolidated cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash decreased by $1,344 million primarily as a result of the seasonal cash used in working capital of $1,283 million. Cash and cash equivalents of Industrial Activities decreased by $1,278 million, while cash and cash equivalents of Financial Services decreased by $66 million.
Cash Flows of Industrial Activities
Net cash used by operating activities was $814 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $554 million used by operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in cash usage was primarily due to increased working capital absorption.
Net cash used by investing activities was $547 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $147 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in cash used by investing activities was primarily due to an increase in net cash payments related to intersegment receivables and payables included in Other changes.
In the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash provided by financing activities was $125 million and included the repayment of the remaining outstanding CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. 2.75% notes of $621 million (€547 million), partially offset by the issuance of €600 million ($679 million) in principal amount of 1.75% CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. notes due 2027. In the three months ended March 31, 2018, net cash used in financing activities was $1,148 million impacted by the repayment of the outstanding CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. 6.25% notes for $1,048 million.
Cash Flows of Financial Services
Net cash provided by operating activities was $70 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $532 million provided in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The decrease in cash generated by operating activities was primarily due to an increase in the wholesale receivable portfolio.

40


Net cash provided by investing activities was $489 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to net cash used of $136 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018, primarily reflecting an increase in net cash received related to intersegment payables and receivables included in Other changes.
Net cash used by financing activities was $625 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $423 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in cash used from the prior year was primarily due to a decrease in other financial liabilities.
