INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXESThe effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 25.8% and 26.3%, respectively. The 2023 effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was lower than the effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2022 due to a lower share of consolidated earnings in higher taxing jurisdictions compared to the prior year.

The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was 25.2% and 29.6%, respectively. The 2023 effective tax rate was reduced by the tax benefits related to the sale of CNH Industrial Russia, although these benefits were partially offset by discrete tax expenses associated with prior periods. The 2022 effective tax rate was increased by pre-tax losses for which deferred tax assets were not recognized, the de-recognition of certain deferred tax assets, increased charges for unrecognized tax benefits, and a discrete tax charge resulting from the sale of Raven’s Engineered Films division.

As in all financial reporting periods, the Company assessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets, which relate to multiple tax jurisdictions in all regions of the world. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2023, there were no changes in our assessment of deferred tax asset positions that impacted the Company’s tax rate for the period. During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2022, the Company changed its assessment regarding the recognition of its Russian deferred tax assets and applied a full valuation allowance as of the beginning of the period.

The Company operates in many jurisdictions around the world and is routinely subject to income tax audits. As various ongoing audits are concluded, or as the applicable statutes of limitations expire, it is possible the Company’s amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change during the next twelve months. We do not expect changes to our assessment to have a material impact on the Company's results of operations, balance sheet, or cash flows.
