Board of Directors and Auditor 2



SEMI-ANNUAL REPORT ON OPERATIONS
(Unaudited)
GENERAL
CNH Industrial N.V. (the “Company” and collectively with its subsidiaries, “CNH Industrial” or the “CNH Industrial Group” or the “Group”) is incorporated in, and under the laws of, the Netherlands and has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its principal office in London, England, United Kingdom. The Company was 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”). Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “we”, “us” and “our” refer to CNH Industrial N.V. together with its 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 Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Financial information included in this Semi-Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS. This Semi-Annual Report is prepared using the U.S. dollar as the presentation currency, and with segment reporting based on 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.
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.
This Semi-Annual Report is unaudited.

Semi-Annual Report on Operations 3



Alternative performance measures (or “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 readers' ability to assess CNH Industrial’s 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 under EU-IFRS 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 EU-IFRS.
Our non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:
Adjusted EBIT under EU-IFRS: is defined as profit/(loss) before taxes, financial income/(expense) of Industrial Activities, restructuring costs, 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.
Adjusted EBITDA under EU-IFRS: is defined as Adjusted EBIT plus depreciation and amortization (including on assets sold under operating leases and assets sold under buy-back commitments).
Adjusted EBIT under U.S. GAAP: is derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and 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 benefit costs, foreign exchange gains/(losses), and certain non-recurring items.
Adjusted EBITDA under U.S. GAAP: is derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is defined as Adjusted EBIT plus depreciation and amortization (including on assets sold under operating leases and assets sold under buy-back commitments).
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.
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. When we provide guidance for adjusted diluted EPS, we do not provide guidance on a earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end.
Net Debt and Net Debt of Industrial Activities under EU-IFRS: Net Debt is defined as total debt plus other financial liabilities, net of cash and cash equivalents, current securities and other financial assets. We provide the reconciliation of Net Debt to Total Debt, which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial 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 for Financial Services), management separately evaluates the cash flow performance of Industrial Activities using Net Debt of Industrial Activities.
Net Debt and Net Debt of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP: are derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net Debt under U.S. GAAP is defined as total debt less intersegment notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivative hedging debt.
Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities under EU-IFRS: refers to Industrial Activities, only, and is computed as consolidated cash flow from operating activities less: cash flow from operating activities of Financial Services; investments of Industrial Activities in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.
Available Liquidity: is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash and undrawn committed facilities.
Change excl. FX or Constant Currency: we discuss the fluctuations in revenues on a constant currency basis by applying the prior year average exchange rates to current year’s revenues expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.



Semi-Annual Report on Operations 4





RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Adoption of new accounting standards
Effective January 1, 2019, CNH Industrial has adopted IFRS 16 - Leases, replacing IAS 17 - Leases. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases for the lessee as either operating leases or finance leases as required by IAS 17 and instead introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. CNH Industrial has applied the new lease standard using the modified retrospective approach, without recasting prior periods. On January 1, 2019 (date of first time adoption), CNH Industrial recognizes approximately $480 million right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in its consolidated statement of financial position, without transition effect to equity. The impact of the adoption of IFRS 16 on the condensed consolidated income statement for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and on the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is immaterial. For additional information relating to the unaudited impact of adoption of the new standard, refer to paragraph “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2019” in the Notes to the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2019, and to paragraphs “Impact of adoption of IFRS 16 on Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA” and "Liquidity and Capital Resources - Consolidated Debt" in the Semi-Annual Report on Operations.
Introduction
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 Agriculture, Construction, Commercial and Specialty 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.

(1)
In the three months ended June 30, 2018, Other income/(expenses) included a pre-tax gain of $527 million related to the modification of a healthcare plan in the U.S.
Net revenues
We recorded net revenues of $7,577 million for the second quarter of 2019, down 5.7% compared to the second quarter of 2018 (up 0.2% on a constant currency basis). Net revenues of Industrial Activities were $7,092 million in the second quarter of 2019, down 6.4% compared to the second quarter of 2018 (down 0.5% on a constant currency basis), with positive price realization more than offset by lower sales volume and negative currency translation impact.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales were $6,146 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared with $6,461 million for the second quarter of 2018. As a percentage of net revenues of Industrial Activities, cost of sales was 82.0% in the second quarter of 2019 (81.7% for the second quarter of 2018).
Selling, general and administrative costs
Selling, general and administrative costs were $538 million during the second quarter of 2019 (7.1% of net revenues), down $50 million compared to the second quarter of 2018 (7.3% of net revenues).
Research and development costs
For the second quarter of 2019, research and development (“R&D”) costs were $281 million ($264 million for the second quarter of 2018) and included all R&D costs not recognized as assets amounting to $171 million ($144 million in the second quarter of 2018), and the amortization of capitalized development costs of $110 million ($120 million in the second quarter of 2018). During the period, CNH Industrial capitalized new development costs of $107 million ($125 million in the second quarter of 2018). The costs in both periods were primarily attributable to spending on engine development costs associated with emission requirements and continued investment in new products.
Result from investments
Result from investments was a net gain of $13 million and $23 million for the second quarter of 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Semi-Annual Report on Operations 6



Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs for the second quarter of 2019 were $30 million compared to $7 million for the second quarter of 2018. The costs in the second quarter of 2019 were primarily attributable to actions by CNH Industrial in conjunction with the previously announced launch of a new organization structure focused on operating segments.
Other income/(expenses)
Other expenses were $26 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to Other income of $493 million in the second quarter of 2018, which included a pre-tax gain of $527 million related to the modification of a healthcare plan in the U.S. (the "Benefit Modification gain") following the favorable judgment issued by the United States Supreme Court announced on April 16, 2018.
Financial income/(expenses)
Net financial expenses were $63 million for the second quarter of 2019 compared to $186 million for the second quarter of 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower negative foreign exchange impact, the refinancing and early retirement of certain high-yield debt, as well as lower average indebtedness.

Profit/(loss) for the period
Net profit was $383 million in the second quarter of 2019 compared to $785 million in the second quarter of 2018, which included the after-tax gain of $399 million related to the modification of a healthcare plan in the U.S. previously mentioned.

Agriculture's net revenues decreased 6.3% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 (down 1.3% on a constant currency basis) due to lower sales volume in Europe and Rest of World, partially offset by positive price realization performance across all geographies.
For the second quarter of 2019, worldwide industry unit sales for tractors were down 11% compared to the second quarter of 2018, while worldwide industry sales for combines were down 7%. In North America, industry volumes in the over 140 horsepower (“hp”) tractor market sector were down 5% and combines were down 19%. Industry volumes for under 140 hp tractors in North America were flat. European markets were up 9% and down 22% for tractors and combines, respectively. In South America, the tractor market decreased 18% and the combine market decreased 13%. Rest of World markets decreased 16% for tractors and increased 1% for combines.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $310 million in the second quarter of 2019 ($388 million in the second quarter of 2018), with Adjusted EBIT margin at 10.0%. Positive net price realization was more than offset by unfavorable volume and mix, higher product costs primarily related to increased raw material costs and tariffs, and increased product development expenses driven by investments in precision farming and the introduction of Stage V engine applications.

Construction's net revenues decreased 5.3% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 (down 2.8% on a constant currency basis). Positive price realization was more than offset by unfavorable volume and mix in North America due to selective inventory destocking actions in our dealer network, and weaker end-user demand in certain key markets in Rest of World.


Semi-Annual Report on Operations 11



During the second quarter of 2019, Construction’s worldwide compact equipment industry sales were flat compared to the second quarter of 2018. Worldwide general equipment and road building and site equipment industry sales were down 5% and 8%, respectively.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $22 million in the second quarter of 2019 ($28 million in the second quarter of 2018), with an Adjusted EBIT margin of 2.9%. Positive net price realization, mainly in North America, was more than offset by higher product costs primarily related to increased raw material costs and tariffs.

Commercial and Specialty Vehicles’ net revenues decreased 6.3% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 (up 1.4% on a constant currency basis). Higher industry volume, mainly in Europe, was more than offset by unfavorable mix and negative impact of foreign currency translation.
During the second quarter of 2019, the European truck market (GVW ≥3.5 tons), excluding U.K. and Ireland, increased 17% compared to the same period in 2018. In Europe, the Light Commercial Vehicles (“LCV”) market (GVW 3.5-7.49 tons) increased 13% and the Medium & Heavy (“M&H”) truck market (GVW ≥7.5 tons) increased 25%. In South America, new truck registrations (GVW ≥3.5 tons) increased 23% over the same period of 2018 with an increase of 49% in Brazil, partially offset by a decrease of 46% in Argentina. In Rest of World, new truck registrations decreased by 8%.
In the second quarter of 2019, trucks’ estimated market share in the European truck market (GVW ≥3.5 tons), excluding U.K. and Ireland, was 10.3%, down 1.8 percentage points ("p.p.") compared to the second quarter of 2018. Trucks' market share in South America in the second quarter of 2019 was 8.0%, down 2.3 p.p. compared to the second quarter of 2018.
Commercial and Specialty Vehicles delivered approximately 37,500 vehicles (including buses and specialty vehicles) in the second quarter of 2019, representing a 7% decrease from the same prior-year period. Volumes were 6% lower in LCV and 8% lower in M&H truck segments. Commercial and Specialty Vehicles’ deliveries were 4% lower in Europe, decreased 29% in South America and decreased 12% in Rest of World.
In the second quarter of 2019, trucks’ ratio of orders received to units shipped and billed, or book-to-bill ratio, for the European truck market was 0.91. In the second quarter of 2019, truck order intake in Europe increased 9% compared to the second quarter of 2018, with an increase of 8% and 10% in LCV and in M&H, respectively.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $101 million in the second quarter of 2019, up $2 million compared to the second quarter of 2018, driven by positive net price realization and lower selling, general and administrative costs, partially offset by higher product content cost and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. Adjusted EBIT margin increased 30 bps to 3.7% compared to the second quarter of 2018.

Semi-Annual Report on Operations 12



Powertrain
Net revenues
Powertrain's net revenues decreased 6.5% in the second quarter of 2019 compared to the second quarter of 2018 (up 1.9% on a constant currency basis), due to slightly lower sales volume and negative impact of foreign currency translation. Sales to external customers accounted for 48% of total net revenues (49% in the second quarter of 2018).
During the second quarter of 2019, Powertrain sold approximately 162,500 engines, a decrease of 1% compared to the second quarter of 2018. In terms of major customers, 25% of engine units were supplied to Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, 19% to Agriculture, 4% to Construction and the remaining 52% to external customers. Additionally, Powertrain delivered approximately 17,700 transmissions, a decrease of 11% compared to the second quarter of 2018, and approximately 50,100 axles, a decrease of 1% compared to the second quarter of 2018.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $93 million for the second quarter of 2019 ($108 million in the second quarter of 2018), with manufacturing efficiencies more than offset by higher product development expenses and negative foreign exchange impacts. Adjusted EBIT margin was 8.2% in the second quarter of 2019 (8.9% in the second quarter of 2018).
Financial Services Performance
Net revenues
Financial Services' net revenues totaled $518 million in the second quarter of 2019, a 4.0% increase compared to the second quarter of 2018 (up 8.9% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to increased used equipment sales in North America and higher average portfolios in South America and Rest of World, partially offset by pricing.
Net income
Net income of Financial Services was $89 million for the second quarter of 2019, a decrease of $15 million compared to the second quarter of 2018 primarily attributable to pricing and the one-time credit loss provision releases incurred in 2018, partially offset by higher average portfolios in South America and Rest of World and lower income taxes.
In the second quarter of 2019, retail loan originations, including unconsolidated joint ventures, were $2.5 billion, relatively flat compared to the second quarter of 2018. The managed portfolio, including unconsolidated joint ventures, was $26.9 billion as of June 30, 2019 (of which retail was 60% and wholesale 40%), up $1.0 billion compared to June 30, 2018. Excluding the impact of currency translation, the managed portfolio increased $1.3 billion compared to the same period in 2018.

Agriculture's net revenues decreased 5.0% in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 (up 1.3% on a constant currency basis) as a result of lower sales volume in Europe and Rest of World, and negative impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by positive price realization performance across all geographies.
For the six months ended June 30, 2019, worldwide industry unit sales for tractors were down 9% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, while worldwide industry sales for combines were down 1%. In North America, industry volumes in the over 140 hp tractor market sector were down 4% and combines were down 2%. Industry volumes for under 140 hp tractors in North America were up 1%. European markets were up 11% and down 19% for tractors and combines, respectively. In South America, the tractor market decreased 9% and the combine market increased 12%. Rest of World markets decreased 13% for tractors and increased 4% for combines.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $490 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 ($555 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018), with Adjusted EBIT margin at 8.8%. Positive net price realization was more than offset by unfavorable volume and mix, raw material headwinds and higher production costs and tariffs, as well as higher product development expenses compared to the first six months of 2018.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Construction’s worldwide compact equipment industry sales were up 5% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, while worldwide general equipment industry sales were flat compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 and worldwide road building and site equipment industry sales were down 7%.

Commercial and Specialty Vehicles’ net revenues decreased 4.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 (up 4.1% on a constant currency basis). Higher industry volume and favorable product mix, mainly in Europe, were more than offset by the negative impact of foreign currency translation.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the European truck market (GVW ≥3.5 tons), excluding U.K. and Ireland, increased 13% compared to the same period in 2018. In Europe, the LCV market (GVW 3.5-7.49 tons) increased 12% and the M&H truck market (GVW ≥7.5 tons) increased 14%. In South America, new truck registrations (GVW ≥3.5 tons) increased 20% over the same period of 2018 with an increase of 50% in Brazil, partially offset by a decrease of 49% in Argentina. In Rest of World, new truck registrations decreased by 8%.
In the six months ended June 30, 2019, trucks’ estimated market share in the European truck market (GVW ≥3.5 tons), excluding U.K. and Ireland, was 10.4%, down 1.5 p.p. compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. In the six months ended June 30, 2019, trucks' market share in South America was 8.0%, down 2.6 p.p. compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Commercial and Specialty Vehicles delivered approximately 70,500 vehicles (including buses and specialty vehicles) in the six months ended June 30, 2019, representing a 4% decrease compared to the same period of 2018. Volumes were flat in LCV and 16% lower in M&H truck segments. Commercial and Specialty Vehicles’ deliveries were lower 2% in Europe, and decreased 14% and 11% in South America and in Rest of World, respectively.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $184 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, up $41 million compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was the result of positive volume, favorable product mix and lower selling, general and administrative costs, partially offset by higher product content cost and unfavorable foreign exchange impacts. Adjusted EBIT margin increased 90 bps to 3.6% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Powertrain
Net revenues
Powertrain's net revenues decreased 9.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 (down 0.5% on a constant currency basis) due to lower sales volume. Sales to external customers accounted for 48% of total net revenues (49% in the six months ended June 30, 2018).
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, Powertrain sold approximately 309,200 engines, a decrease of 2% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. In terms of major customers, 26% of engine units were supplied to Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, 17% to Agriculture, 5% to Construction and the remaining 52% to external customers. Additionally, Powertrain delivered approximately 35,100 transmissions, a decrease of 11% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, and approximately 97,100 axles, a decrease of 4% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $184 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 ($198 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018). Favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiencies were more than offset by higher product development expenses and negative foreign exchange impacts. Adjusted EBIT margin increased 30 bps to 8.5% in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
Financial Services Performance
Net revenues
Financial Services' net revenues totaled $990 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, a 1.0% decrease compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018 (up 5.2% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to pricing and the negative impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by higher used equipment sales in North America and higher average portfolios in South America and Rest of World.
Net income
Net income of Financial Services was $186 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $207 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease is primarily attributable to pricing and the negative impact from currency translation, partially offset by higher average portfolios in South America and Rest of World, improved operating lease performance, as well as lower income taxes.
In the six months ended June 30, 2019, retail loan originations, including unconsolidated joint ventures, were $4.7 billion, relatively flat compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The managed portfolio, including unconsolidated joint ventures, was $26.9 billion as of June 30, 2019 (of which retail was 60% and wholesale 40%), up $1.0 billion compared to June 30, 2018 (up $1.3 billion on a constant currency basis).

Semi-Annual Report on Operations 24



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 to us 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 six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Semi-Annual Report on Operations 25



(a)
Cash generated from the sale of vehicles under buy-back commitments, net of amounts included in Profit/(loss) for the period, is recognized under operating activities in a single line item, which includes changes in working capital, capital expenditure, depreciation and impairment losses. The item also includes gains and losses arising from the sale of vehicles subject to buy-back commitments.
(b)

Net cash used by operating activities was $171 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared with $341 million generated in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in cash usage was primarily due to increased working capital absorption mainly due to higher inventories and lower trade payables.
Net cash used by investing activities was $629 million in six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $282 million generated in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in cash usage was primarily due to an increase in net cash payments related to intersegment receivables and payables included in “Other changes”.
Net cash used by financing activities was $397 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $1,326 million used in the six months ended June 30, 2018, which was primarily impacted by the repayment of the outstanding €853 million ($1.0 billion) CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. 6.25% notes.
Cash flows of Financial Services
Net cash provided by operating activities was $275 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $307 million provided in the six months ended June 30, 2018.
Net cash used in investing activities was $264 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 (compared to $477 million used in the six months ended June 30, 2018), primarily reflecting an increase in net cash received related to intersegment payables and receivables included in Other changes.
Net cash used in financing activities was $249 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $114 million provided in the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in cash used was primarily due to higher net repayments of debt and an increase in dividends paid.

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.
We provide a separate analysis of Net Debt for Industrial Activities and Financial Services, to reflect the different cash flow management practices in the two businesses. The separation between Industrial Activities and Financial Services represents a sub-consolidation based on the core business activities (industrial activities or financial services) of each CNH Industrial legal entity. The sub-consolidation for Industrial Activities also includes legal entities that perform centralized treasury activities, such as raising funding in the market and financing Group legal entities, but do not, however, provide financing to third parties.

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 $1,274 million and $1,136 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Total Debt of Financial Services includes Intersegment notes payable to Industrial Activities of $1,600 million and $1,207 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
(2)
Other financial assets and other financial liabilities include, respectively, the positive and negative fair values of derivative financial instruments.
(3)
The net intersegment receivable/payable balance owed by Financial Services to Industrial Activities was $326 million and $71 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
The increase in Net Debt at June 30, 2019 compared to December 31, 2018 mainly reflects the seasonal cash absorption related to operating activities, the distribution of the annual dividend to CNH Industrial N.V.'s shareholders for $275 million, the purchase of CNH Industrial N.V. shares for $45 million under the Company buy-back program and the impact of adoption of IFRS 16 on January 1, 2019.

Semi-Annual Report on Operations 27



In the first half of 2019, the Free cash flow of Industrial Activities was an absorption of $597 million, primarily due to the increase in working capital.
The reconciliation of Free cash flow of Industrial Activities to Net cash provided by (used in) Operating Activities, the EU-IFRS financial measure that we believe to be most directly comparable, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, is shown below:

In March 2019, CNH Industrial signed a five-year committed revolving credit facility for €4 billion ($4.5 billion at March 31, 2019 exchange rate) due to mature in 2024 with two extension options of 1-year each, exercisable on the first and second anniversary of the signing date. The credit facility replaces the existing five-year €1.75 billion credit facility due to mature in 2021. Available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $5.5 billion at June 30, 2019 ($3.1 billion at December 31, 2018). Total committed secured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $4.2 billion at June 30, 2019 ($3.9 billion at December 31, 2018) of which $1.3 billion was available at June 30, 2019 ($0.9 billion at December 31, 2018).

Semi-Annual Report on Operations 28



RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
See Note 29. “Related party transactions” of the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2019.
IMPORTANT EVENTS DURING THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 2019
On March 18, 2019, CNH Industrial signed a €4 billion committed revolving credit facility, replacing an existing 5-year €1.75 billion facility. The new credit facility has a 5-year tenor with two extension options of 1-year each, exercisable on the first and second anniversary of the signing date.
In March 2019, CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNH Industrial N.V., issued €600 million in principal amount of 1.75% notes due March 2027, with an issue price of 98.597% of the principal amount. The notes have been issued under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme guaranteed by CNH Industrial N.V. and have been admitted to listing on the Irish Stock Exchange.
On April 12, 2019, at the annual general meeting (the “AGM”), CNH Industrial N.V. shareholders approved the 2018 EU Annual Report (including the Company’s 2018 statutory financial statements) and a dividend of €0.18 per common share. The cash dividend was declared in euro and paid on May 2, 2019 for a total amount of $275 million (€244 million). Shareholders who at the record date held common shares traded on the NYSE received the dividend in U.S. dollars in the amount of $0.203418 per common share based on the official USD/EUR exchange rate reported by the European Central Bank on April 17, 2019. Shareholders also renewed the existing authorization for the Board to repurchase up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s issued common shares during the eighteen-months period following the date of the AGM.
On May 24, 2019, CNH Industrial advised its intention to restart its buy-back program (the “Program”). The Program will involve the repurchase from time to time of up to $700 million in the Company’s common shares and is intended to optimize the capital structure of the Company and to meet the obligations arising from the Company’s equity incentive plans. The Program has a duration up to and including October 12, 2019 and will be conducted in the framework of the buyback authorization granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 13, 2018, whereby the Board is vested with the authority to purchase up to 10% of the Company’s issued common shares.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES
The Company believes that the risks and uncertainties identified for the second half of 2019 are in line with the main risks and uncertainties to which CNH Industrial N.V. and the Group are exposed that the Company presented in its Annual Report at December 31, 2018 prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS as well as those Risk Factors identified and discussed in Item 3.D of the Company’s annual report for 2018 on Form 20-F (which contains financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP) filed with the SEC on March 1, 2019. Those risks and uncertainties should be read in conjunction with this 2019 Semi-Annual Report, including its notes and disclosures.
Additional risks not known to the Company, or currently believed not to be material, could later turn out to have a material impact on Company’s businesses, targets, revenues, income, assets, liquidity or capital resources.


Semi-Annual Report on Operations 29



2019 U.S. GAAP OUTLOOK(1) 
CNH Industrial manages its operations, assesses its performance and makes decisions about resource allocation 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.
While uncertainties in the agricultural end-markets related to the trade tensions remain unresolved, and negative impacts from recent weather events (in North America, Australia and Northern Europe) are persisting, which has impacted planting and harvesting patterns and market sentiment, cyclical replacement demand remains stable, with used equipment inventories at low levels supporting new equipment sales in North America.
End-user demand in the construction industry remains healthy, supported by spending for public and infrastructure investments. Despite this strength, conditions in the construction industry are still challenged in the residential sub-segment.
European demand in the truck and bus industries continues to hold at a high level, supported by a low interest rate environment, and by the transition to lower emission vehicles including full electric and hybrid buses, and LNG and CNG powered trucks.
As a result of the updated end-markets outlook, the Company is revising its full year net sales guidance reflecting the impact on net sales of the euro/dollar exchange rate performance of the first six months of the year, while confirming all the other 2019 targets as follows:
Net sales of Industrial Activities between $27 and $27.5 billion, with sales up year-over-year 1% to 2% at constant currency;
Adjusted diluted EPS(2) up year-over-year between 5% and 10% at a range of $0.84 to $0.88 per share;
Net debt of Industrial Activities at the end of 2019 between $0.4 billion and $0.2 billion.









(1)
2019 guidance does not include any impacts under U.S. GAAP deriving from the gain resulting from the modification of a healthcare plan in the U.S. anticipated on April 16, 2018, as this gain has been considered non-recurring and therefore treated as an adjusting item for the purpose of the adjusted diluted EPS calculation. In addition, 2019 guidance does not include any impacts deriving from possible further repurchases of Company’s shares under the plan authorized by the AGM on April 12, 2019.
(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 incorporated in, and under the laws of, the Netherlands, and 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”). CNH Industrial is a global leader in the capital goods sector that, through its various businesses, designs, produces and sells agricultural and construction equipment, trucks, commercial vehicles, buses and specialty vehicles, in addition to a broad portfolio of powertrain applications.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The Semi-annual condensed consolidated financial statements at June 30, 2019 together with the notes thereto (the “Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) were authorized for issuance on August 2, 2019 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 (“IFRIC”).
The Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting, do not include all of the information and disclosures required for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the audited CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2018, included in the Annual Report prepared under EU-IFRS (in the following, the “CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2018”). The accounting standards and policies are consistent with those used at December 31, 2018, except as described in the following paragraph “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2019”.
The preparation of the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated 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 contingent liabilities. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of the Semi-Annual 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. The Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments considered necessary by management to fairly state the Group’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. See section “Significant accounting policies”, paragraph “Use of estimates”, in the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2018 for a description of the significant estimates, judgments and assumptions of CNH Industrial, as well as those discussed in the following paragraph “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2019”.
Furthermore, 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.

Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2019 38



Certain financial information in this the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements 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.
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. The Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements do 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 management, Risks and Control System” section and Note 32 “Information on financial risks” of CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2018, as well as those discussed in Note 17 “Current receivables and Other current assets”.
These Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared with the U.S. dollar as presentation currency. 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.
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. Legal entities carrying out industrial activities and those carrying out financial services 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, obtains funds only partially from the market: the remainder is obtained from CNH Industrial N.V. through its treasury legal entities (included in Industrial Activities), which lend funds both to Industrial Activities and to Financial Services legal entities 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.
New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2019

IFRS 16 - Leases
On January 13, 2016, the IASB issued IFRS 16 - Leases, replacing IAS 17 - Leases. IFRS 16 eliminates the classification of leases for the lessee as either operating leases or finance leases as required by IAS 17 and instead introduces a single lessee accounting model and requires a lessee to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with a term of more than 12 months, unless the underlying asset is of low value. Lessees are required to recognize a right-of-use asset, representing its right to use the underlying leased asset, and a lease liability, representing its obligation to make lease payments, and to recognize depreciation of leased assets separately from interest on lease liabilities in the income statement. Lessor accounting under IFRS 16 is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard.
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 and leases of low-value assets. In such cases, the lease payments associated with leases are recognized as expense, in the income statement. In addition, CNH Industrial has elected not to separate lease and non-lease components.

Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2019 39



At January 1, 2019, CNH Industrial recognized approximately $480 million of right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in its consolidated statement of financial position, without transition effect to equity, as detailed in the following table:

The lease liabilities were discounted at the incremental borrowing rate as of January 1, 2019. The weighted average incremental borrowing rate was 3.2%.
The following paragraph presents CNH Industrial's accounting policy for leases for which it is a lessee after the adoption of IFRS 16.
Lease accounting 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 Group 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, the Group combines lease and non-lease components.
For leases with terms not exceeding twelve months (short-term leases) and for leases of low-value assets, CNH Industrial recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term as operating expense in the income statement.
For all other leases, at the commencement date (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use), CNH Industrial recognizes a right-of-use asset, classified within Property, plant and equipment, and a lease liability, classified within Other Debt.
At the commencement date, 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. At the same date, the lease liability is measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. In calculating the present value of lease payments, CNH Industrial uses the incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date if the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable.

Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2019 40



After the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis. If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option, CNH Industrial depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Group depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. After the commencement date, the lease liability is increased to reflect the accretion of interest, recognized within Financial income/(expenses) in the income statement, and reduced for the lease payments made, and remeasured to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications.
On June 7, 2017, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 23 - Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments to specify how to reflect uncertainty in accounting for income taxes. The Interpretation is effective from January 1, 2019. The application of this interpretation did not have any material effect on the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On December 12, 2017, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2015–2017 Cycle. The most important topics addressed in these amendments are: (i) on IFRS 3 - Business Combinations, clarifying that a company shall remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains control of the business, and on IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, a company does not remeasure its previously held interest in a joint operation when it obtains joint control of the business, (ii) on IAS 12 - Income Taxes, clarifying that all income tax consequences of dividends (i.e. distribution of profits) should be recognized according to where the entity originally recognized the past transactions or events generating distributable profits, and (iii) on IAS 23 - Borrowing Costs, clarifying that a company shall treat as part of general borrowing any borrowing originally made to develop an asset when the asset is ready for its intended use or sale. These amendments are effective from January 1, 2019. The application of these improvements did not have any material effect on the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
On February 7, 2018, the IASB issued Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement (Amendments to IAS 19), requiring an entity after remeasuring its defined benefit obligations as a consequence on a plan amendment, curtailment or settlement, to use the updated assumptions from this remeasurement to determine current service cost and net interest for the remainder of the reporting period after the change to the plan. The amendments are effective prospectively from January 1, 2019. The application of these amendments did not have any effect on the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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, 2018, for a description of other new standards not yet effective and not adopted as of June 30, 2019.

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 21 “Equity”.

CNH Industrial provides and administers financing for retail purchases of new and used equipment and vehicles sold through its dealer network. The terms of retail and other notes and finance leases generally range from two to six years, and interest rates on retail and other notes and finance leases vary depending on prevailing market interest rates and certain incentive programs offered by Industrial Activities.
CNH Industrial manages its receivable portfolios using multiple factors, primarily past dues, historical loss experience, collateral value, outstanding balance and internal behavioral classifications.

There is not a disproportionate concentration of credit risk in any geographic area. Receivables from financing activities generally relate to the agricultural, construction and truck businesses. CNH Industrial typically retains a security interest in the equipment or vehicle being financed. In addition, CNH Industrial may also obtain other forms of collateral including letter of credit/guarantees, insurance coverage, real estate and personal guarantees.
Receivables from financing activities are considered to have a significant credit deterioration when they are classified as a problem account, which generally occurs when customers show signs of operational or financial weakness including past dues, which require significant collection effort and monitoring; an account is typically considered in default when they are 90 days past due.
CNH Industrial utilizes three categories for receivables from financing activities that reflect their credit risk and how the loan provision is determined.
Internal risk grade
IFRS 9 classification
Definition
Basis for recognition of expected credit loss provision
Performing
Stage 1
Low risk of default; payments are generally less than 30 days past due
12 month expected credit losses
Performing
Stage 2
Significant increase in credit risk; payments generally between 31 and 90 days past due
Lifetime expected credit losses
Non-performing
Stage 3
Accounts are credit impaired and/or a legal action has been initiated; payments generally greater than 90 days past due
Lifetime expected credit losses
Charge‑offs of principal amounts of receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance at the point when it is estimated that amounts due are deemed uncollectible. CNH Industrial continues to engage in collection efforts to attempt to recover the receivables. When recoveries are collected, these are recognized as income.

Allowance for Credit Losses
CNH Industrial’s allowance for credit losses is segregated into three portfolio segments: retail, wholesale and other. A portfolio segment is the level at which CNH Industrial develops a systematic methodology for determining its allowance for credit losses. Further, CNH Industrial evaluates its retail and wholesale portfolio segments by class of receivable: North America, Europe, South America and Rest of World regions. Typically, CNH Industrial’s receivables within a geographic area have similar risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring risk. These classes align with management reporting.
The Group accounts for its credit risk by appropriately providing for expected credit losses on a timely basis. In calculating the expected credit loss rates, CNH Industrial considers historical loss rates for each category of customers, and adjusts for forward looking macroeconomic data.

Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2019 49



In calculating the expected credit losses, CNH Industrial’s calculations depend on whether the receivable has been individually identified as being impaired. The first component of the allowance for credit losses covers the receivables specifically reviewed by management for which CNH Industrial has determined it is probable that it will not collect all of the contractual principal and interest. Receivables are individually reviewed for impairment based on, among other items, amounts outstanding, days past due and prior collection history. Expected credit losses are measured by considering: the unbiased and probability-weighted amount; the time value of money; and reasonable and supportable information (available without undue costs or effort) at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls over the expected life of each financial asset.
The second component of the allowance for credit losses covers all receivables that have not been individually reviewed for impairment. The allowance for these receivables is based on aggregated portfolio evaluations, generally by financial product. The allowance for wholesale and retail credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation is adjusted for forward looking macroeconomic factors. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.
Allowance for credit losses activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 is as follows:

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, CNH Industrial 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 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.
Before removing a receivable from TDR classification, a review of the borrower is conducted. If concerns exist about the future ability of the borrower to meet its obligations based on a credit review, the TDR classification is not removed from the receivable.
As of June 30, 2019, CNH Industrial had 272 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 $10 million and the post-modification value was $9 million. Additionally, the Company had 381 accounts with a balance of $16 million undergoing bankruptcy proceedings where a concession has not yet been determined. As of June 30, 2018, the Company had 288 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 $10 million and the post-modification value was $9 million. Additionally, the Company had 377 accounts with a balance of $20 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 twelve months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
As of June 30, 2019, CNH Industrial had retail and finance lease receivable contracts classified as TDRs in Europe. The pre-modification value was $98 million and the post-modification value was $91 million. Subsequent re-defaults were not material for retail and finance lease receivable contracts that were modified in a TDR during the previous twelve months ended June 30, 2019.
As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, CNH Industrial’s wholesale TDR agreements were immaterial.
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 IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments 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 consolidated statement of financial position and recognizes a financial liability of the same amount under Asset-backed financing (see Note 23 “Debt”). The gains and losses arising from the transfer of these assets are only recognized when the assets are derecognized.

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 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.
In accordance with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting only when, at the inception of the hedge, there is formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship, there is an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from the economic relationship, and the hedging relationship’s hedging ratio reflects the actual quantity of the hedging instrument and the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument.
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.
For hedging cash flows in a currency different from the functional currency, the hedge relationship reflects the hedge ratio of 1:1, which means that relationship is characterized by the value of the hedging instrument and the value of the hedged item moving in the opposite direction as a result of the common underlying of hedged risk.
The main sources of hedge ineffectiveness are:
the effect of the counterparty and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the foreign exchange derivatives, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flow attributable to the change in the exchange rates, and
changes in timing of the hedged transaction.
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. Fair value changes used as a basis to calculate hedge ineffectiveness were $-44 million for foreign exchange contracts in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The maturity of these instruments does not exceed 24 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 $-22 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.

Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2019 53



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 $7.9 billion and $7.2 billion at June 30, 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 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. The after-tax gains (losses) deferred in other comprehensive income/(loss) that will be recognized in interest expense over the next twelve months is insignificant.
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 “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 floating interest rate benchmarks.
For hedging interest rate exposures, the hedge relationship reflects the hedge ratio 1:1, which means that relationship is characterized by the value of the hedging instrument and the value of the hedged item that move in the opposite direction as a result of the common underlying of hedged risk.
The main sources of hedge ineffectiveness are:
the effect of the counterparty and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the swaps, which is not reflected in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flow attributable to the change in the interest rates, and
differences in repricing dates between the swaps and the borrowings.
Any ineffectiveness is recorded in “Financial income/(expenses)” in the condensed consolidated income statement and its amount was insignificant for all periods presented. Fair value changes used as a basis to calculate hedge ineffectiveness were $31 million for interest rate derivatives in the six months ended June 30, 2019.
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 in all periods presented.
All of CNH Industrial’s interest rate derivatives outstanding as of June 30, 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 $5.1 billion and $5.4 billion at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 5.1 million shares of its common stock on the MTA and on multilateral trading facilities (“MTFs”) under the buy-back program in place at an aggregate cost of $45 million. During the same period, the Company acquired 0.7 million special voting shares following the de-registration of qualifying common shares from the Loyalty Register, net of the transfer and allocation of special voting shares to those shareholders whose qualifying common shares became eligible to receive special voting shares after the uninterrupted three-year registration period in the Loyalty Register.
In order to maintain the necessary operating flexibility over an adequate time period, including the implementation of the program in place, on April 12, 2019, the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) granted to the Board of Directors the authority to acquire common shares in the capital of the Company through stock exchange trading on the MTA and the NYSE or otherwise for a period of 18 months (i.e., up to and including October 11, 2020). Under such authorization the Board’s authority is limited to a maximum of up to 10% of the issued common shares as of the date of the AGM and, in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, subject to a maximum price per common share equal to the average of the highest price on each of the five trading days prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the MTA or NYSE (as the case may be) plus 10% (maximum price) and to a minimum price per common share equal to the average of the lowest price on each of the five trading days prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the MTA or NYSE (as the case may be) minus 10% (minimum price). Since May 2019, the Company restarted its share buy-back program. Neither the renewal of the authorization, nor the launch of any program obliges the Company to buy-back any common shares. In any event, such program may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time for any reason and without previous notice, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

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 previously provided to certain UAW Union represented CNH Industrial retirees. On April 16, 2018, CNH Industrial announced its determination to modify the benefits provided to the applicable retirees (“Benefit Modification”) to make them consistent with the benefits provided to current eligible CNH Industrial retirees who had been represented by the UAW. The Benefit Modification resulted in a reduction of the plan liability by $527 million in the second quarter of 2018. This amount has been recognized in its entirety in Other income/(expenses).

(1)
Bond listed on the Irish Stock Exchange.
(2)
Bond listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
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 applicable notes. The bonds guaranteed by CNH Industrial N.V. under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme (and its predecessor the Global Medium Term Note Programme), as well as the notes issued by CNH Industrial N.V., 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 26 “Debt” to the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2018.
In March 2019, CNH Industrial signed a five-year committed revolving credit facility for €4 billion ($4.5 billion at March 31, 2019 exchange rate) due to mature in 2024 with two extension options of 1-year each, exercisable on the first and second anniversary of the signing date. The credit facility replaces the existing five-year €1.75 billion credit facility due to mature in 2021. Available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $5.5 billion at June 30, 2019 ($3.1 billion at December 31, 2018). Total committed secured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $4.2 billion at June 30, 2019 ($3.9 billion at December 31, 2018) of which $1.3 billion was available at June 30, 2019 ($0.9 billion at December 31, 2018).
Debt secured with mortgages and other liens on assets of the Group amounts to $38 million at June 30, 2019 ($39 million at December 31, 2018).

24.    Trade payables
Trade payables of $6,129 million at June 30, 2019 increased by $243 million from the amount at December 31, 2018.
25.
Other current liabilities
At June 30, 2019, Other current liabilities mainly included $1,707 million of amounts payable to customers relating to repurchase price on buy-back agreements ($1,870 million at December 31, 2018), and $1,299 million of contract liabilities ($1,368 million at December 31, 2018), of which $708 million for future rents related to buy-back agreements ($773 million at December 31, 2018). Other current liabilities also included accrued expenses and deferred income of $540 million ($517 million at December 31, 2018).
26.
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 Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
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 Medium and Heavy ("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, on the base of the letters issued by a significant number of customers indicating that they may commence proceedings in the future, CNH Industrial expects to face further claims based on the same legal grounds in various other 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, mainly in the interest of a joint venture related to commercial commitments of defense vehicles, totaling $445 million and $471 million at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2019 62



27.    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 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.
The activities carried out by the four industrial segments Agriculture, Construction, Commercial and Specialty 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 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 calculated using U.S. GAAP. CNH Industrial believes Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA more fully reflect segment and consolidated profitability. Adjusted EBIT under U.S. GAAP 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. Adjusted EBITDA under U.S. GAAP 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.

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, the assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

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 bonds issued by CNH Industrial N.V. that are classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. Their 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 period-end adjusted for the Group non-performance risk over the remaining term of the financial liability.
The fair value of Lease liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy has been estimated using discounted cash flow models that require significant adjustments using unobservable inputs.
Other financial assets and liabilities
The carrying amount of Cash at banks, Restricted cash, Other cash and cash equivalents, Trade 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.

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.
(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 and other income tax differences
This item includes the tax effects of adjustments included in (a) and (b), primarily related to development costs, as well as other differences arising in the accounting of deferred tax assets and liabilities. 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, 2018. 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.
