Certain statements contained in this document that are not statements of historical fact constitute forward-looking statements, notwithstanding that such statements are not specifically identified. These statements may include terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “could”, “should”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “remain”, “on track”, “design”, “target”, “objective”, “goal”, “forecast”, “projection”, “outlook”, “prospects”, “plan”, or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Rather, they are based on current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside the Company’s control and are difficult to predict. If any of these risks and uncertainties materialize or other assumptions underlying any of the forward-looking statements prove to be incorrect the actual results or developments may differ materially from any future results or developments expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Factors, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others: the many interrelated factors that affect consumer confidence and worldwide demand for capital goods and capital goods-related products; general economic conditions in each of the Company’s markets; changes in government policies regarding banking, monetary and fiscal policies; legislation, particularly relating to capital goods-related issues such as agriculture, the environment, debt relief and subsidy program policies, trade and commerce and infrastructure development; actions of competitors in the various industries in which the Company competes; development and use of new technologies and technological difficulties; production difficulties, including capacity and supply constraints and excess inventory levels; labor relations; interest rates and currency exchange rates; inflation and deflation; energy prices; housing starts and other construction activity; the Company’s ability to obtain financing or to refinance existing debt; a decline in the price of used vehicles; the resolution of pending litigation and investigations; the Company’s relations with Kobelco Construction Machinery Co., Ltd and Sumitomo (S.H.I.) Construction Machinery Co., Ltd.; the Company’s pension plans and other post-employment obligations; political and civil unrest; volatility and deterioration of capital and financial markets, including further worsening of the Eurozone sovereign debt crisis, other similar risks and uncertainties; and the Company’s success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing. Further information concerning factors, risks, and uncertainties that could materially affect the Company’s financial results is included in CNH Industrial N.V.’s EU Annual Report at December 31, 2013, prepared in accordance with IFRS and in its annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2013, prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors should refer and consider the incorporated information on risks, factors, and uncertainties in addition to the information presented here. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date on which such statements are made. Furthermore, in light of ongoing difficult macroeconomic conditions, both globally and in the industries in which CNH Industrial operates, it is particularly difficult to forecast results, and any estimates or forecasts of particular periods that are provided in this document are uncertain. Accordingly, investors should not place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements.

The Company’s outlook is based upon assumptions, which are sometimes based upon estimates and data received from third parties. Such estimates and data are often revised. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise its outlook or forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new developments or otherwise. Further information concerning the Company and its businesses, including factors that potentially could materially affect the Company’s financial results, is included in the Company’s reports and filings with the U.S. SEC, the AFM and CONSOB.


INTRODUCTION

CNH Industrial N.V. (“the Company”) is the company formed by the business combination transaction completed on September 29, 2013 (the “Merger” or the “Transaction”) between Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and its subsidiary CNH Global N.V. The Company is incorporated in, and under the laws of, The Netherlands. CNH Industrial N.V. has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and its corporate office in Basildon, United Kingdom.

This quarterly report relates to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (“CNH Industrial” or “CNH Industrial Group” or the “Group”) after the Transaction. Because the Merger represents a “business combination involving entities or businesses under common control”, it is outside the scope of application of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. As such, financial information for the first quarter of 2013, included for comparative purposes, are stated at the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of Fiat Industrial S.p.A. prior to the Merger. The Merger had no impact on the consolidated activities of the former Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and therefore the results presented herein are consistent and comparable with those previously published by Fiat Industrial. The main accounting effect of the Transaction has been the attribution to owners of the parent company of the previous non-controlling interests in CNH Global N.V. since the closing date.

Beginning with the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), CNH Industrial reports quarterly and annual financial results both under U.S. GAAP for SEC reporting purposes and under IFRS for European listing purposes and Dutch law requirements. Financial statements under both sets of accounting principles use U.S. dollar as the reporting currency. Prior period results, prepared in euro, have been consistently recast. The reconciliation from IFRS figures to U.S. GAAP is presented, on a voluntary basis, in the Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, CNH Industrial has expanded its reportable segments from three (Agricultural and Construction Equipment inclusive of its financial services activities, Trucks and Commercial Vehicles inclusive of its financial services activities, and Powertrain) to five (Agricultural Equipment, Construction Equipment, Commercial Vehicles, Powertrain and Financial Services). The Group’s worldwide agricultural equipment, construction equipment, commercial vehicles and powertrain operations are collectively referred to as “Industrial Activities”. Prior period results have been consistently recast. Additional information on the adoption of U.S. dollar as the reporting currency and on the change in the reportable segments is presented in the Notes to the Interim Consolidated Financial Statements, section “Significant accounting policies”.

This quarterly report is unaudited.

Non-GAAP financial information

CNH Industrial monitors its operations through the use of several non-GAAP financial measures. CNH Industrial believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding its operating results and enhance the reader’s ability to assess CNH Industrial financial performance and financial position. They provide measures which facilitate management’s ability to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions. These and similar measures are widely used in the industries in which the Group operates. These financial measures may not 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 IFRS.

CNH Industrial non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:

 

    Trading Profit: is the internal financial measure management uses to assess the performance of operating segments. Trading Profit is computed starting from Net revenues less Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative costs, Research and development costs, and other operating income and expenses.

 

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

 

    Net Debt and Net Debt of Industrial Activities (or Net Industrial Debt): CNH Industrial provides the reconciliation of Net Debt to Total Debt, which is the most directly comparable measure included in the 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 receivables from financing activities for Financial Services), management separately evaluates the cash flow performance of Industrial Activities using Net Debt of Industrial Activities.

 

    Constant currency basis: CNH Industrial discusses the fluctuations in revenues and certain non-GAAP financial measures on a constant currency basis by applying the prior-year exchange rates to current year’s values expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

CNH Industrial Group Operating Performance    3


OPERATING PERFORMANCE BY ACTIVITY

Basis of analysis

The following table provides the consolidated statements of income and a breakdown of Group results between Industrial Activities and Financial Services.

The segmentation between Industrial Activities and Financial Services represents a sub-consolidation prepared on the basis of the core activities of each Group company.

Investments held by companies belonging to one segment in companies included in the other segment are accounted for under the equity method and are classified in the income statement under result from intersegment investments.

The parent company, CNH Industrial N.V., is included under Industrial Activities.

The sub-consolidation of Industrial Activities also includes companies that provide centralized treasury services (i.e., raising funding in the market and financing Group companies). The activities of the treasury companies do not include the offer of financing to third parties.

Certain financial information in this report has been presented by geographic area: NAFTA, EMEA, LATAM and APAC. The geographic designations have the following meanings:

 

    EMEA: 28 member countries of the European Union, member countries of the European Free Trade Association (EFTA), Ukraine, Balkans, African continent and the Middle East (excluding Turkey).

 

    NAFTA: United States, Canada and Mexico.

 

    LATAM: Central and South America and the Caribbean Islands.

 

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

CNH Industrial Group Operating Performance     4


Net revenues

Group revenues totaled $7,644 million for the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of 0.2% from the same quarter of 2013 (+1.7% on a constant currency basis). Net revenues of Industrial Activities were $7,263 million, a decrease of 0.5% compared to Q1 2013. Net of a 1.8% negative impact of currency translation, revenues increased in Construction Equipment and Powertrain, offsetting reduced revenues for Agricultural Equipment, primarily in LATAM. Revenues from Agricultural Equipment were down 6.0% to $3,706 million mainly as a result of decreased volumes primarily in LATAM and APAC and less favourable product mix. Revenues from Construction Equipment were up 2.7% to $774 million as industry unit demand increased in every region except LATAM. Commercial Vehicles revenues decreased 0.4% to $2,354 million as positive performance in truck and bus in EMEA and APAC was offset by a significant decline in demand in Brazil, in manufacturing activities in Venezuela and by unfavorable calendarization of activity in parts and specialty vehicles. Powertrain revenues increased 23.3% to $1,205 million primarily driven by higher volumes. Net revenues of Financial Services totaled $509 million, up 3.7% compared to Q1 2013 primarily driven by the increase in the average value of the portfolio.

Trading profit/(loss)

Group trading profit was $510 million for the first quarter, down $28 million or -5.2% from Q1 2013 (-1.1% on a constant currency basis). Trading margin for the first quarter decreased 0.3 p.p. to 6.7%. Trading profit of Industrial Activities totaled $380 million for the quarter, compared with $403 million for Q1 2013. Trading profit increases in Construction Equipment and Powertrain, together with margin improvements in Agricultural Equipment, were more than offset by the negative effects of challenging operating conditions in LATAM affecting Commercial Vehicles mainly due to a significant decline in demand in Brazil and in manufacturing activities in Venezuela, as well as by negative currency translation impacts.

Agricultural Equipment trading profit was $442 million ($446 million in Q1 2013), representing a trading margin of 11.9% (11.3% in Q1 2013), with net price realization and improved industrial performance offsetting negative volume and mix. Construction Equipment reported a trading profit of $1 million ($28 million loss in Q1 2013) as a result of favorable volume and mix mainly in heavy equipment, as well as positive price realization and positive contribution from containment actions on structural costs. Commercial Vehicles closed the first quarter with a trading loss of $74 million (trading loss of $23 million for Q1 2013) as a result of negative market mix related to a significant slowdown of activity in LATAM affecting volume and manufacturing operations, and transitional costs with the launch of the new Daily and Euro VI bus product line-up. In addition, price realization under-recovered negative foreign exchange impacts in emerging market currencies (mainly in Brazil, Turkey and Russia). EMEA performance in truck and bus was flat compared with Q1 2013, notwithstanding a slow Q1 2014 after the strong finish last year due to the pre-buy in advance of Euro VI introduction. Powertrain closed the first quarter with a trading profit of $30 million, compared with $15 million for the same period in 2013, with a trading margin of 2.5% (1.5% for the Q1 2013): the improvement was mainly due to the increase in volumes and related industrial efficiencies. Trading profit of Financial Services totaled $130 million, down $5 million over the same period in 2013, mainly driven by a higher average portfolio value more than offset by SG&A increases associated with new activities launched in EMEA and LATAM to support Commercial Vehicles.

Operating profit/(loss)

The Group closed the quarter with an operating profit of $480 million (or 6.3% of net revenues), compared with $487 million (or 6.4% of net revenues) for Q1 2013, a year-over-year decrease of $7 million. The $28 million decrease in trading profit was partially offset by lower net unusual expense ($30 million compared to $51 million for the first quarter of 2013). Operating profit of Industrial Activities was $350 million for the quarter. The $43 million decrease over the same period in 2013 ($393 million) reflected a lower trading profit and higher restructuring costs. Operating profit of Financial Services was $130 million, an increase of $36 million over the same period of 2013 which was affected by Other unusual expenses largely reflecting expenses related to the dissolution of the Financial Services joint venture with Barclays.

Gains/(losses) on disposal of investments was zero for the first quarter in both 2014 and 2013.

Restructuring costs for the first quarter of 2014 amounted to $30 million, mainly relating to Construction Equipment (restructuring costs of $10 million in the first quarter of 2013, mainly relating to Commercial Vehicles).

Other unusual expenses were zero for the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2013, other unusual expenses included a pre-tax charge of $41 million related to the dissolution of the Financial Services joint venture with Barclays.

Non-operating items

Net financial expenses totaled $215 million for the quarter ($149 million for the same period in 2013) and included a pre-tax charge of $64 million due to the re-measurement of Venezuelan assets denominated in Bolivares following the changes in Venezuela’s exchange rate mechanism: excluding this exceptional charge, net financial expenses totaled $151 million, in line with Q1 2013, as increased financial expenses deriving from higher average net industrial debt were offset by lower foreign exchange losses.

 

CNH Industrial Group Operating Performance     5


Result from investments was a net gain of $26 million, in line with Q1 2013.

Income taxes for the first quarter totaled $145 million ($138 million for Q1 2013), representing an effective tax rate of 49.8% for the quarter. The significant increase over the 37.9% Q1 2013 effective tax rate is mainly due to the exceptional charge relating to Venezuela, for which no corresponding tax impact can be recorded. Excluding this item, the effective tax rate was 40.8%, higher than the Group’s 2014 forecast range of 36% to 40% due to not book benefiting losses in certain jurisdictions.

Profit/(loss) for the period

The Group closed the quarter with net profit of $146 million, or $0.11 per share, compared with $226 million, or $0.15 per share for Q1 2013.

Profit attributable to owners of the parent was $145 million, compared with $182 million for Q1 2013.

Net revenues for Agricultural Equipment were $3,706 million for the quarter, down 6.0% from Q1 2013 (-3.9% on a constant currency basis), mainly as a result of decreased volumes primarily in LATAM and APAC and less favourable product mix. The geographic distribution of revenues for the period was 48% NAFTA, 31% EMEA, 11% LATAM and 10% APAC.

Worldwide Agricultural Equipment market share was lower for tractors and combines, mainly due to the expected timing impact from the transition to Tier 4B final emission regulations in major markets.

Worldwide production of Agricultural Equipment was 27% above retail sales for the quarter, consistent with past years as the Group increases inventory in anticipation of the spring and summer selling seasons.

Agricultural Equipment trading profit was $442 million for the quarter ($446 million in Q1 2013) and trading margin was 0.6 p.p. higher at 11.9%, with net price realization and improved industrial performance offsetting negative volume and mix.

The geographic distribution of revenues for the period was 38% NAFTA, 20% EMEA, 31% LATAM and 11% APAC.

Worldwide Construction Equipment share was largely unchanged for the period.

Worldwide Construction Equipment production levels were 5% above retail sales, in line with the recovery in most major markets except for LATAM.

Construction Equipment reported trading profit of $1 million compared to a $28 million loss for Q1 2013, as a result of favorable volume and mix mainly in heavy equipment, as well as positive price realization and positive contribution from containment actions on structural costs.

Commercial Vehicles posted first quarter net revenues of $2,354 million, down 0.4% from the prior year (+0.4% on a constant currency basis), as positive performance in truck and bus in EMEA and APAC was offset by a significant decline in demand in Brazil, in manufacturing activities in Venezuela and by unfavorable calendarization of activity in parts and specialty vehicles. The geographic distribution of revenues for the period was 76% EMEA, 14% LATAM and 10% APAC.

A total of 27,752 vehicles (including buses and specialty vehicles) were delivered, representing a 2% increase over Q1 2013. Volumes were higher in the light (+6.1%) and the heavy (+3.7%) vehicle segments, while in the medium segment volumes were down 6.5%. Commercial Vehicles deliveries increased 9% in EMEA and 24% in APAC, while LATAM was down 28%.

The European truck market (GVW ³3.5 tons) was up 8.1% over Q1 2013 to approximately 156,100 units. Light vehicles (GVW 3.5-6 tons) increased 7.8%, while medium vehicles (GVW 6.1-15.9 tons) posted a decline of 6.9%; the heavy vehicles market (GVW >16 tons) increased 12.3% mainly due to the end of Euro V registrations allowed in 2014 in almost all countries. With the completion of the Euro V registrations, heavy vehicle market growth is expected to slow.

The Group’s first quarter share of the European truck market (GVW ³3.5 tons) was estimated flat at 11.3%, despite a negative market mix. In the light vehicle market, share declined by 0.6 p.p. to 10.7% largely as a result of the phase out in anticipation of the launch of the new Daily which is scheduled to begin shipments in June. In the medium vehicles market the Group achieved market leadership in Europe, with an increase of 3.8 p.p. up to a share of 31.5%. The heavy vehicle market share was up to 8.2%, with a growth of 1.0 p.p.

In LATAM, new truck registrations (GVW ³3.5 tons) were down 11.6% compared with Q1 2013 to 43,500 units. The market decline affected all ranges and was due to the negative cycle affecting the medium and heavy market in Brazil and the instability in Venezuela. Argentina was the only market with a positive trend (+2.0%).

The Group’s share of the LATAM market (GVW ³3.5 tons) was up 1.7 p.p. over Q1 2013 to 11.9%.

In APAC registrations were down 2.2%, while market share increased 0.4 p.p. compared with Q1 2013.

In EMEA, dealer inventories of new vehicles remained stable compared to year-end 2013, representing coverage of approximately 3 months of expected activity.

Commercial Vehicles closed the first quarter with a trading loss of $74 million compared with a loss of $23 million for Q1 2013, as a result of negative market mix related to a significant slowdown of activity in LATAM affecting volume and manufacturing operations, and transitional costs with the launch of the new Daily and Euro VI bus product line-up. In addition, price realization under-recovered negative foreign exchange impacts in emerging market currencies (mainly in Brazil, Turkey and Russia). EMEA performance in truck and bus was flat compared with Q1 2013, notwithstanding a slow Q1 2014 after the strong finish last year due to the pre-buy in advance of Euro VI introduction.

Powertrain reported first quarter net revenues of $1,205 million, an increase of 23.3% over Q1 2013 (+19.6% on a constant currency basis) primarily attributable to higher volumes. Sales to external customers accounted for 37% of total net revenues (31% in the same period in 2013).

During the quarter Powertrain sold a total of 157,370 engines, an increase of 28% year-over-year. By major customer, 27% of engines were supplied to Agricultural Equipment, 25% to Commercial Vehicles, 4% to Construction Equipment and the remaining 44% to external customers. Additionally, Powertrain delivered 17,276 transmissions and 40,136 axles, an increase of 10% and 6%, respectively, over the same period in 2013.

Powertrain closed the first quarter with a trading profit of $30 million, up $15 million from the same period in 2013, with a trading margin of 2.5% (1.5% for Q1 2013). The improvement was mainly due to the increase in volumes and related industrial efficiencies.

Financial Services reported first quarter net revenues of $509 million, an increase of 3.7% compared to Q1 2013, primarily driven by the increase in the average value of the portfolio.

Financial Services reported a trading profit of $130 million, down $5 million over the same period in 2013, mainly driven by a higher average portfolio value more than offset by SG&A increases associated with new activities launched in EMEA and LATAM to support Commercial Vehicles.

Retail loan originations in the quarter were $2.3 billion, down $156 million compared to Q1 2013, due mostly to the decline in Agricultural Equipment sales. The managed portfolio (including joint ventures) of $27.8 billion (of which Retail was 65% and Wholesale 35%) was up $0.9 billion compared to December 31, 2013 (of which Retail was up $0.6 billion and Wholesale was up $0.3 billion).

On January 28, 2014, CNH Industrial and BNP Paribas Leasing Solutions, the two shareholders of CNH Industrial Capital Europe, agreed on the extension of the joint-venture services to CNH Industrial Commercial Vehicles businesses in Italy, Germany, France, the United Kingdom and other major European markets. As a result of this increase in scope, CNH Industrial Capital Europe is now the captive finance company for all the current CNH Industrial businesses in major European countries.

CNH Industrial Group Liquidity and Capital Resources     12


At March 31, 2014, total assets amounted to $57,293 million, an increase of $831 million over the $56,462 million figure at year-end 2013.

Non-current assets totaled $16,713 million, an increase of $167 million over year-end 2013, primarily attributable to investments for the period (net of amortization/depreciation).

Current assets increased $669 million to $40,551 million at March 31, 2014. The increase was primarily due to a $1,134 million increase in inventories and $162 million increase in receivables from financing activities, partially offset by the decrease of $620 million in cash and cash equivalents.

Receivables from financing activities totaled $22,148 million at March 31, 2014. Net of currency translation differences and write-downs, there was a $123 million increase mainly relating to a growth in the wholesale portfolio.

Working capital (net of items relating to vehicles sold under buy-back commitments and vehicles no longer subject to lease agreements that are held in inventory) totaled $2,837 million, a $1,922 million increase for the quarter.

(a) Inventory is reported net of vehicles held for sale by Commercial Vehicles segment that have been bought back (under buy-back commitments) or returned following expiry of a lease agreement.
(b) Other current payables, included under current taxes receivable/(payable) & other current receivables/(payables), are stated net of amounts due to customers in relation to vehicles sold under buy-back commitments, which consist of the repurchase amount payable at the end of the lease period, together with the value of any lease installments received in advance. The value at the beginning of the contract period, equivalent to the difference between the sale price and the repurchase amount, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the contract period.

At March 31, 2014, trade receivables, other receivables and receivables from financing activities falling due after that date and sold without recourse – and, therefore, eliminated from the statement of financial position pursuant to the derecognition requirements of IAS 39 – totaled $1,027 million ($1,091 million at December 31, 2013).

Working capital increased $1,896 million over the period on a comparable scope of operations and at constant exchange rates.

In the first quarter of 2014, CNH Industrial’s debt increased $1,362 million (increase of $1,281 million at constant currency basis) over $29,946 million at year end 2013, mainly reflecting an increase of $1,513 million in new bond issues, net of repayment of new medium/long-term bank financing, partially offset by a decrease of $151 million in asset-backed financing.

At March 31, 2014, CNH Industrial’s net debt was $25,363 million, an increase of $2,073 million compared with the $23,290 million recorded at the end of 2013. Excluding negative currency translation differences of approximately $48 million, that increase was mainly the result of cash absorption of $1,500 million by operating activities and of cash absorption of $526 million generated by increases in the loan portfolios of Financial Services, as well as capital expenditures during the period.

The following table details CNH Industrial’s net debt at March 31, 2014 and at December 31, 2013, and provides a reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to debt, the most directly comparable measure included in CNH Industrial’s Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. Net debt is one of management’s primary measures for analyzing CNH Industrial’s debt and managing its liquidity, because CNH Industrial believes this measure illustrates how much indebtedness would remain if all of CNH Industrial’s available liquid resources were applied to the repayment of debt. In particular, for CNH Industrial, Net Industrial Debt (i.e., Net Debt of Industrial Activities) is the principal indicator of changes in financial structure and, as such, is one of the key targets used to measure Group performance.

(1) As a result of the role played by the central treasury, debt for Industrial Activities also includes funding raised by the central treasury on behalf of consolidated Financial Services companies (included under intersegment financial receivables). Intersegment financial receivables for Financial Services companies, on the other hand, represent loans or advances to industrial companies – for receivables sold to Financial Services companies that do not meet the derecognition requirements of IAS 39 – as well as cash deposited temporarily with the central treasury.
(2) Other financial liabilities and other financial assets include, respectively, the negative and positive fair values of derivative financial instruments.

At March 31, 2014, liquidity totaled $5,869 million (down $620 million over the $6,489 million at year-end 2013). At March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents included approximately $841 million ($922 million at December 31, 2013) of restricted cash the use of which is primarily limited to the repayment of the debt relating to securitizations classified as asset-backed financing.

Based on changes to the way Venezuela’s exchange rate mechanism operates, CNH Industrial has changed the bolivar fuerte (“Bs.F.”) rate used to re-measure its Venezuelan Commercial Vehicles business operations financial statements in U.S. dollars. Effective March 31, 2014, CNH Industrial started to use the exchange rate determined by U.S. dollar auctions conducted under Venezuela’s Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD I). From this date CNH Industrial is using an exchange rate of 10.7 Bs.F. to the U.S. dollar compared with the previously used Official Exchange Rate of 6.3 Bs.F. to the U.S. dollar. At March 31, 2014, CNH Industrial Venezuelan subsidiary had net monetary assets of $95 million at 10.7 Bs.F., including $79 million of cash and cash equivalents. As the SICAD I rate is based on periodic auctions, there may be significant changes to the exchange rate in future quarters, as well as other related developments in Venezuela, which may impact CNH Industrial consolidated financial statements.

Total available liquidity (including $2,261 million and $2,224 million in undrawn committed facilities at March 31, 2014 and year-end 2013, respectively) decreased $583 million to $8,130 million, mainly due to the anticipated seasonal increase in working capital, partially offset by a €1 billion bond ($1.4 billion equivalent) issued in March 2014 by CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A., a wholly-owned subsidiary of CNH Industrial N.V. The notes were issued under the Global Medium Term Note Programme guaranteed by CNH Industrial N.V. at an annual fixed rate of 2.75% and are due March 2019.

CNH Industrial carried out term securitizations for a total amount of $1,023 million in the first quarter 2014. In the same period, CNH Industrial also established or renewed wholesale securitized credit facilities for a total commitment amount of $200 million.

Cash generated by operating activities before changes in working capital ($398 million) was offset by working capital absorption ($1,822 million) and investments in fixed assets ($295 million).

CHANGE IN NET DEBT FOR FINANCIAL SERVICES

Net debt for Financial Services at March 31, 2014 was $291 million higher than year-end 2013. That increase mainly reflects the increase in the lending portfolio ($168 million), dividends distributed of $90 million and negative currency translation differences ($32 million).

CNH Industrial Group Liquidity and Capital Resources     16


Consolidated

Operating activities absorbed $1,500 million in cash in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $818 million in the first quarter of 2013, deriving from the following elements:

 

    $146 million in net income that CNH Industrial recorded in the first quarter of 2014;

 

    plus $269 million in non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization (net of vehicles sold under buy-back commitments and operating leases);

 

    plus $13 million in (gains)/losses on disposal and other non-cash items;

 

    plus $55 million in dividends received and change in deferred income taxes of $23 million, minus changes in provisions of $73 million;

 

    minus changes in operating lease items of $35 million, changes in items due to buy-back commitments of $2 million and a $1,896 million change in working capital.

Investment activities absorbed $456 million in cash in the first quarter of 2014, compared to $755 million in the first quarter of 2013, due to investments in tangible and intangible assets ($305 million) and from a net increase in receivables from financing activities ($153 million).

Financing activities generated $1,311 million in cash in the first quarter of 2014, compared to absorption of $32 million in the first quarter of 2013, arising from bond and medium-term debt issuance, net of repayments.

Industrial Activities

For the first quarter of 2014, Industrial Activities generated cash and cash equivalents totaling $235 million. Specifically:

 

    Operating activities absorbed $1,424 million in cash. Net profit adjusted for amortization and depreciation, gains/losses on disposals and other non-cash items, changes in provisions, deferred taxes, items related to vehicles sold under buy-back commitments or leased out and dividends received generated cash for $398 million, largely offset by an increase in working capital of $1,822 million (on a comparable scope of operations and at constant exchange rates).

 

    Investment activities generated a total of $398 million in cash, primarily related to changes in financial receivables from/debt payable to Financial Services (included under other changes), partially offset by investments in fixed assets and in subsidiaries and other equity investments ($300 million).

 

    Financing activities generated cash of $1,243 million, essentially due to bond and medium-term debt issuance, net of repayments.

Financial Services

At March 31, 2014, cash and cash equivalents for Financial Services totaled $1,624 million, down $855 million over December 31, 2013. Changes in cash for Financial Services were attributable to:

 

    Operating activities, which generated $14 million in cash, principally from income-related cash inflows.

 

    Investment activities (including changes in financial receivables from/debt payable to Industrial Activities), which absorbed $854 million in cash, with a $676 million increase in the loan portfolio and changes in financial receivables/debt payables to Industrial Activities.

 

    Financing activities, which absorbed a total of $22 million.

OTHER INFORMATION

GROUP EMPLOYEES

As of March 31, 2014, CNH Industrial had 71,089 employees, a decrease of 103 over the 71,192 figure at year-end 2013.

The change is mainly attributable to a decrease of fixed term workers for manufacturing activities in LATAM due mainly to the demand seasonality. This was partially offset by an increase in the change of scope of operations (about 100 employees) mainly for insourcing of Financial Services activities in LATAM, and Purchasing activities in LATAM and APAC. Other minor increases included net new hiring for brand/commercial organizations, R&D, and various functions in emerging countries.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In April 2014, Commercial Vehicles announced it was temporarily suspending its manufacturing operations in Venezuela effective immediately, due to the continuing currency crisis which has caused difficulties for Venezuelan industry in the importation of key components and materials.

At the CNH Industrial N.V. Annual General Meeting (AGM) held on April 16, 2014, Shareholders approved the 2013 Annual Report (including the Company’s 2013 financial statements) and the distribution of a dividend of €0.20 per common share. The cash dividend was declared in euro and was paid on April 30, 2014 for a total amount of $375 million (€271 million). Shareholders who held common shares on the record date traded on the New York Stock Exchange received the dividend in U.S. dollars at the USD/EUR exchange rate reported by the European Central Bank on April 17, 2014 ($0.2771 per common share). Shareholders also re-elected all of the eleven members of the Board of Directors already in office on the date of the AGM. In addition, Shareholders approved the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”), an umbrella program defining the terms and conditions for any subsequent long term incentive program. The EIP allows grants of certain specific types of equity awards to any current or prospective executive director, officer or employee of, or service provider to, CNH Industrial. Finally, Shareholders granted the Board of Directors the authority to acquire up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s issued common shares at the AGM date. Such authorization is an instrument available for the Board of Directors, but places no obligation on the Company to repurchase its own shares.

On April 28, 2014, the Company announced that it intends to enter into a new licensing agreement with Sumitomo (S.H.I.) Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. Under this new technology license and component supply agreement, CNH Industrial will manufacture Sumitomo designed crawler excavators (models ranging from 13 to 35 tonnes) at designated plants within its manufacturing network. Start of production of the new localized models is planned for mid-2016. This agreement also extends the existing Global Product Supply Agreement between CNH Industrial and Sumitomo (S.H.I.) Construction Machinery for the sourcing of excavators manufactured in Sumitomo plants. Since 1992, Sumitomo has been a supplier to the CNH Industrial global distribution network of excavators ranging from 7 to 80 tonnes. This next step will further strengthen the partnership between the two companies.

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at March 31, 2014     25


NOTES

FOREWORD

CNH Industrial N.V. (“the Company”) is the company formed by the business combination transaction completed on September 29, 2013 (the “Merger” or the “Transaction”) between Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and its subsidiary CNH Global N.V. The Company is incorporated in, and under the laws of, The Netherlands. CNH Industrial N.V. has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and its corporate office in Basildon, United Kingdom.

This quarterly report relates to the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries (“CNH Industrial” or “CNH Industrial Group” or the “Group”) after the Transaction. Because the Merger represents a “business combination involving entities or businesses under common control” it is outside the scope of application of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations. As such, financial information for the first quarter of 2013, included for comparative purposes, are stated at the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of Fiat Industrial S.p.A. prior to the Merger. The main accounting effect of the Transaction has been the attribution to owners of the parent company of the previous non-controlling interests in CNH Global N.V. since the closing date.

Beginning with the filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) of its annual report on Form 20-F for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, prepared in accordance with accounting standards generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”), CNH Industrial reports quarterly and annual financial results both under U.S. GAAP for SEC reporting purposes and under IFRS for European listing purposes and Dutch law requirements. Financial statements under both sets of accounting principles use U.S. dollar as the reporting currency. Prior period results, prepared in euro, have been consistently recast. The reconciliation from IFRS figures to U.S. GAAP is presented, on a voluntary basis, in Note 33 “IFRS to U.S. GAAP reconciliation”.

In addition, CNH Industrial has expanded its reportable segments from three (Agricultural and Construction Equipment inclusive of its financial services activities, Trucks and Commercial Vehicles inclusive of its financial services activities, and Powertrain) to five (Agricultural Equipment, Construction Equipment, Commercial Vehicles, Powertrain and Financial Services). Prior period results have been consistently recast.

For additional information on the adoption of U.S. dollar as the reporting currency and on the change in the reportable segments refer to the following section, paragraphs “Change in presentation currency” and “Change in reportable segments”.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Accounting policies

This quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). This quarterly report has also been prepared in accordance with the IFRSs adopted by the European Union. The designation “IFRS” also includes all valid International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), as well as all interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee, formerly the Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) and then the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

In particular, this quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting applying the same accounting standards and policies used in the preparation of the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013, other than those discussed in the following paragraph “Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from January 1, 2014”. This quarterly report does not include all the information and disclosures required in the annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013 included in the Annual Report prepared under IFRS for European listing purposes and Dutch law requirements (in the following, the “CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013 “ or the “EU Annual Report”).

The preparation of the interim financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets, liabilities, accumulated other comprehensive income and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the interim financial statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of the interim 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. Reference should be made to the section “Use of estimates” in the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013 for a detailed description of the more significant valuation procedures used by CNH Industrial.

 

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at March 31, 2014     26


Moreover, certain valuation procedures, in particular those of a more complex nature regarding matters such as any impairment of non-current assets, are only carried out in full during the preparation of the annual financial statements, when all the information required is available, other than in the event that there are indications of impairment, when an immediate assessment is necessary. At the date of this quarterly report, however, there were no indicators of impairment requiring immediate consideration to be made as to the existence of any impairment losses. Similarly, the recoverability of deferred tax assets is usually assessed annually using figures from budget and plans for subsequent years consistent with those used for impairment testing.

The actuarial valuations that are required for the determination of employee benefit provisions are also usually carried out during the preparation of the annual financial statements.

Income taxes are recognized based upon the best estimate of the actual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.

CNH Industrial is exposed to operational financial risks: credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, relating mainly to exchange rates and interest rates. This quarterly report does not include all the information and notes about financial risk management required in the preparation of annual financial statements. For a detailed description of this information reference should be made to the “Risk management” section and Note 33 “Information on financial risks” of CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013.

Change in presentation currency

This quarterly report is presented in U.S. dollars, except otherwise indicated.

In order to improve comparability with its main peers, CNH Industrial changed its presentation currency from euro to U.S. dollar for all financial reporting publications subsequent to its Annual report at December 31, 2013 prepared in accordance with IFRS.

Under IFRS, a change in the presentation currency is a change in accounting policy that, in accordance with IAS 8 - Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates, is accounted for retrospectively as if the new presentation currency had always been the presentation currency.

As a consequence, comparative figures included in this quarterly report, previously reported in euros, have been recast into U.S. dollars as follows:

 

    assets and liabilities denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies were translated into U.S. dollars at the closing rates of exchange on the relevant balance sheet date, as detailed in Note 31 “Translation of financial statements denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar”;

 

    income and expenses denominated in non-U.S. dollar currencies were translated at the average rates of exchange for the relevant period, as detailed in Note 31;

 

    cumulative hedging and translation reserves had been set to nil at January 1, 2004, the date of transition to IFRS by CNH Industrial, and these reserves have been recast on the basis that CNH Industrial reported in U.S. dollars since that date. Share capital, share premium and the other reserves were translated at the historic rates and subsequent rates on the date of each transaction.

Change in reportable segments

Until December 31, 2013, CNH Industrial presented its consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS, including three reportable segments: (i) Agricultural and Construction Equipment inclusive of its financial services activities, (ii) Trucks and Commercial Vehicles inclusive of its financial services activities, and (iii) Powertrain.

In order to enhance its reporting following the Merger between Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and CNH Global N.V., CNH Industrial has realigned its reportable segments reflecting the five businesses now directly managed by CNH Industrial N.V., consisting of: (i) Agricultural Equipment, which designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment; (ii) Construction Equipment, which designs, produces and sells construction equipment; (iii) Commercial Vehicles, which designs, produces and sells trucks, commercial vehicles, buses and special use vehicles; (iv) Powertrain, which designs, manufactures and offers a range of propulsion and transmission systems for on- and off-road applications, as well as engines for marine application and power generation; and (v) Financial Services, which offers a range of financial services to dealers and customers.

CNH Industrial worldwide agricultural equipment, construction equipment, commercial vehicles and powertrain operations are collectively referred to as “Industrial Activities”.

The segment information presented for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 reflects the five reportable segments above described. Segment information presented for comparative purposes has been recast, as required by IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, to conform to the current year’s presentation. For further information, refer to Note 28 “Segment information”.

 

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at March 31, 2014     27


Re-measurement of Venezuelan assets

Based on changes to the way Venezuela’s exchange rate mechanism operates, CNH Industrial changed the bolivar fuerte (“Bs.F.”) rate used to re-measure its Venezuelan Commercial Vehicles business operations financial statements in U.S. dollars. Effective March 31, 2014, CNH Industrial started to use the exchange rate determined by U.S. dollar auctions conducted under Venezuela’s Complementary System of Foreign Currency Administration (SICAD I). From this date CNH Industrial is using an exchange rate of 10.7 Bs.F. to the U.S. dollar compared with the previously used Official Exchange Rate of 6.3 Bs.F. to the U.S. dollar. As a result, CNH Industrial recorded a pre-tax re-measurement charge of $64 million in the first quarter of 2014. At March 31, 2014, CNH Industrial Venezuelan subsidiary had net monetary assets of $95 million at 10.7 Bs.F., including $79 million of cash and cash equivalents. As the SICAD I rate is based on periodic auctions, there may be significant changes to the exchange rate in future quarters, as well as other related developments in Venezuela, which may impact CNH Industrial’s consolidated financial statements.

The operating environment in Venezuela continues to be challenging, reflecting economic uncertainty and CNH Industrial limited ability to convert Bs.F. to U.S. dollars. Various restrictions on CNH Industrial ability to manage its operations, including restrictions on the distribution of foreign exchange by the authorities, have affected CNH Industrial Venezuelan operation’s ability to pay obligations denominated in U.S. dollars, thereby restricting CNH Industrial ability to benefit from its investment in this operation.

Additionally, in April 2014, Commercial Vehicles announced it was temporarily suspending its manufacturing operations in Venezuela, effective immediately, due to the continuing currency crisis which has caused difficulties for Venezuelan industry in the importation of key components and materials.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations adopted from January 1, 2014

On December 16, 2011, the IASB issued certain amendments to IAS 32 – Financial Instruments: Presentation, to clarify the application of certain offsetting criteria for financial assets and financial liabilities in IAS 32. CNH Industrial retrospectively applied these amendments from January 1, 2014. The application of these amendments did not have any significant effect on this quarterly report.

On May 29, 2013, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 36 – Impairment of Assets, entitled Recoverable Amount Disclosures for Non-Financial Assets (Amendments to IAS 36), addressing the disclosure of information about the recoverable amount of impaired assets if that amount is based on fair value less cost of disposal. The Group retrospectively applied these amendments from January 1, 2014 excluding periods and comparative periods, in which IFRS 13 – Fair Value Measurement, was not applied. The application of these amendments did not have any effect on this quarterly report.

On June 27, 2013, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 39 – Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement, entitled Novation of Derivatives and Continuation of Hedge Accounting (Amendments to IAS 39), that allow hedge accounting to continue in a situation where a derivative, which has been designated as a hedging instrument, is novated to effect clearing with a central counterparty as a result of laws or regulation, if specific conditions are met. Similar relief will be included in IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments. CNH Industrial retrospectively applied these amendments from January 1, 2014. The application of these amendments did not have any significant effect on this quarterly report.

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not early adopted by the Group

On November 12, 2009, the IASB issued a new standard IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments that was subsequently amended. The standard represents the completion of the first part of a project to replace IAS 39 and introduces new requirements for the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities. The new standard uses a single approach to determine whether a financial asset is measured at amortized cost or fair value, replacing the many different rules in IAS 39. The approach in IFRS 9 is based on how an entity manages its financial instruments and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets. The most significant effect of the standard regarding the classification and measurement of financial liabilities relates to the accounting for changes in fair value attributable to changes in the credit risk of financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Under the new standard these changes are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not subsequently reclassified to profit or loss. The mandatory adoption of this standard, originally set on January 1, 2015, has not yet been decided by IASB. At the date of this quarterly report, the European Union has not yet completed its endorsement process for this standard.

On May 20, 2013, the IASB issued IFRIC Interpretation 21: Levies, an interpretation of IAS 37 – Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets, on the accounting for levies imposed by governments other than income taxes. The interpretation clarifies that the obligating event that gives rise to a liability to pay a levy is the activity described in the relevant legislation that triggers the payment of the levy and includes guidance illustrating how it should be applied. The interpretation is effective retrospectively for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2014. However, at the date of this quarterly report, the European Union has not yet completed its endorsement process for this interpretation. The application of this interpretation has no effects on CNH Industrial consolidated financial statements.

 

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at March 31, 2014     28


On November 21, 2013, the IASB issued an amendment to IAS 19 – Employee Benefits, entitled Defined Benefit Plans: Employee Contributions (Amendments to IAS 19). The amendment applies to contributions from employees or third parties to defined benefit plans, in order to simplify the accounting for contributions that are independent of the number of years of employee service (for example, employee contributions that are calculated according to a fixed percentage of salary). The amendment is effective, retrospectively, from July 1, 2014 with earlier application permitted. At the date of this quarterly report, the European Union has not yet completed its endorsement process for this amendment.

On December 12, 2013, the IASB issued the Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2010–2012 Cycle and Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2011– 2013 Cycle. The most important topics addressed in these amendments are, among others, the definition of vesting conditions in IFRS 2 – Share based payment, the aggregation of operating segments in IFRS 8 – Operating Segments, the definition of key management personnel in IAS 24 – Related Party disclosures, the extension of the exclusion from the scope of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations to all types of joint arrangements (as defined in IFRS 11 – Joint arrangements) and clarifications about the application of certain exceptions in IFRS 13 – Fair value Measurement.

12. Earnings per share

The basic earnings per share for the first quarter of 2014 and for the first quarter of 2013 is determined 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.

For the first quarter of 2013, the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period refers to the ordinary shares of the former Fiat Industrial S.p.A. outstanding during that period.

Special voting shares are not included in the earnings per share calculation as they are not eligible for dividends and have only limited economic rights. For more detailed information on the composition of share capital, refer to Note 22 “Equity”.

The following table sets out the Profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the owners of the parent and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding used to calculate basic earnings per share for the first quarter 2014 and 2013:

 

            1st Quarter 2014      1st Quarter 2013  

Profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the owners of the parent

     $ million         145         182

Basic earnings per common share

     $         0.11         0.15   

In connection with the Merger, CNH Industrial N.V. assumed the sponsorship of the share-based payment awards issued on Fiat Industrial S.p.A. shares and on CNH Global N.V. shares. The diluted earnings per share for the first quarter of 2014 has been determined by increasing the weighted average number of common shares outstanding to take into consideration the theoretical effect that would arise if the share-based payments awards on CNH Industrial N.V. shares have been exercised. Before the Transaction, Fiat Industrial S.p.A. did not have any equity instruments with potential dilutive effect.

Under the authorization, which is valid for a period of 18 months from the date of the AGM and therefore up to and including October 15, 2015, the Board may acquire the Company’s common shares in accordance with applicable regulations at a price not exceeding 10% of the market price of such common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and/or the Mercato Telematico Azionario (MTA), the market price being the average of the highest price on each of the five days of trading prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the selected stock exchange.

Detailed information on these share-based payment awards is included in Note 24 to the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at 31 December 2013.

CNH Industrial N.V. Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”)

At the Annual General Meeting held on April 16, 2014, Shareholders approved the CNH Industrial N.V. Equity Incentive Plan (“EIP”), an umbrella program defining the terms and conditions for any subsequent long-term incentive program, whose main features are as follows.

The EIP allows to any current or prospective executive director, officer or employee of, or service provider to, CNH Industrial grants of certain types of equity awards subject to the terms and conditions established by the Compensation Committee.

The EIP authorizes 25 million common shares over a five-year period, of which a maximum of 7 million would be authorized for awards to executive directors. These shares may be newly issued shares or treasury shares.

The EIP will terminate at, and no more awards will be permitted to be granted thereunder ten years after its adoption by the Board of Directors of CNH Industrial N.V. The termination of the EIP will not affect previously granted awards.

The unaudited prospectuses and offering circulars, or their abstracts, relating to the above-mentioned principal bond issues are available on CNH Industrial website at www.cnhindustrial.com under “Investors – Fixed income investors”.

CNH Industrial intends to repay the issued bonds in cash at due date by utilizing available liquid resources. In addition, CNH Industrial companies may from time to time buy back bonds on the market that have been issued, also for purposes of their cancellation. Such buy backs, if made, depend upon market conditions, the financial situation of the Group and other factors which could affect such decisions.

Available committed credit lines expiring after twelve months amount to approximately $2.3 billion at March 31, 2014 ($2.2 billion at December 31, 2013).

25. Trade payables

Trade payables of $6,812 million at March 31, 2014 decreased by $557 million from the amount at December 31, 2013.

26. Other current liabilities

At March 31, 2014, Other current liabilities mainly include $1,929 million of amounts payable to customers relating to buy-back agreements ($1,902 million at December 31, 2013) and accrued expenses and deferred income of $617 million ($624 million at December 31, 2013).

27. Guarantees granted, commitments and contingent liabilities

Guarantees granted

At March 31, 2014 CNH Industrial had outstanding guarantees granted on the debt or commitments of third parties or unconsolidated subsidiaries jointly controlled and associated entities totaling $517 million ($513 million at December 31, 2013). These guarantees mainly consist of loan guarantees on behalf of certain dealers by Agricultural Equipment and Construction Equipment and performance guarantees on behalf of some joint ventures by Commercial Vehicles.

Contingent liabilities

As a global Group with a diverse business portfolio, CNH Industrial is exposed to numerous legal risks, particularly in the areas of product liability, product performance, retail and wholesale credit, competition and antitrust law, intellectual property matters, disputes with dealers and suppliers and service providers, environmental risks, and tax and employment matters.

The outcome of any current or future proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. 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 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. Nevertheless, it is believed that the resolution of these controversies will not cause significant liabilities for which specific risk provisions have not already been set aside.

Further information concerning the CNH Industrial contingent liabilities is presented in the “Contingent liabilities” section of Note 30 to the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013.

28. Segment information

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.

As described in the Foreword, until December 31, 2013, CNH Industrial presented its consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with IFRS, including three reportable segments: (i) Agricultural and Construction Equipment inclusive of its financial services activities, (ii) Trucks and Commercial Vehicles inclusive of its financial services activities, and (iii) Powertrain.

In order to enhance its reporting, CNH Industrial has realigned its reportable segments reflecting the five businesses now directly managed by CNH Industrial N.V., consisting of: (i) Agricultural Equipment, (ii) Construction Equipment, (iii) Commercial Vehicles, (iv) Powertrain, and (v) Financial Services. Segment information for comparative periods has been recast to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Segment information presented below is prepared in accordance with the accounting policies previously described in section “Significant Accounting Policies”.

CNH Industrial has the following five operating segments:

 

    Agricultural Equipment, which designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of farm machinery and implements, including two-wheel and four-wheel drive tractors, crawler tractors, combines, cotton pickers, grape and sugar cane harvesters, hay and forage equipment, planting and seeding equipment, soil preparation and cultivation implements and material handling equipment. Agricultural equipment is sold under the New Holland Agriculture and Case IH Agriculture brands, as well as the Steyr brand in Europe;

 

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at March 31, 2014     40


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

 

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

 

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

 

    Financial Services, which 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, which primarily consists of floor plan financing and allows the dealers to purchase and maintain a representative inventory of products.

CNH Industrial worldwide agricultural equipment, construction equipment, commercial vehicles and powertrain operations are collectively referred to as “Industrial Activities”.

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

The CODM assessed the performance of the operating segments mainly on the basis of Trading profit/(loss), earned by those segments. Trading profit/(loss) is computed starting from Net revenues less Cost of sales, Selling, general and administrative costs, Research and development costs, and Other income/(expenses). Trading profit/(loss) represents Operating profit/(loss) before specific items that are believed to hinder comparison of the trading performance of CNH Industrial businesses either year-on-year or with other businesses. Specifically, Trading Profit is a measure that excludes Gains/(losses) on the disposal of investments, Restructuring costs and Other unusual income/(expenses) which impact, and are indicative of, operational performance, but whose effects occur on a less frequent basis and are not representative of the routine trading performance of CNH Industrial businesses.

29. Fair value measurement

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

 

    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 (as prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) on the market;

 

    Level 3 — inputs that are not based on observable market data.

The fair values of Receivables from financing activities are included in the Level 3 and have been estimated based on discounted cash flows analysis with the most significant inputs being the 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.

The fair values of Bonds are included in the Level 2, with the exception of the bonds issued by CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. which are included in the Level 1 and have been estimated with 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 have been estimated based on discounted cash flows analysis using the current market interest rates at year-end adjusted for CNH Industrial non-performance risk over the remaining term of the financial liability.

30. Related party transactions

In accordance with IAS 24, CNH Industrial related parties are companies and persons who are capable of exercising control or joint control or who have a significant influence over the Group, CNH Industrial N.V.’s parent company Exor S.p.A. and the companies that Exor S.p.A. controls or has significant influence over (including the companies of the Fiat Group), unconsolidated subsidiaries of CNH Industrial and the associates or joint ventures of CNH Industrial. Finally, the members of the Board of Directors, the statutory auditors (in 2013 for Fiat Industrial S.p.A.) and managers of CNH Industrial with strategic responsibility and members of their families are considered related parties too.

As of March 31, 2014, Exor S.p.A. held 40.9% of CNH Industrial’s voting power and had the ability to significantly influence the decisions submitted to a vote of CNH Industrial’s shareholders, including approval of annual dividends, the election and removal of directors, mergers or other business combinations, the acquisition or disposition of assets and issuances of equity and the incurrence of indebtedness. The percentage above has been calculated as the ratio of (i) the aggregate number of common shares and special voting shares beneficially owned by Exor S.p.A. and (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding common shares and special voting shares of CNH Industrial as of March 31, 2014.

CNH Industrial engages in transactions with unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates and other related parties on commercial terms that are normal in the respective markets, considering the characteristics of the goods or services involved. The Company’s Audit Committee conducts a review to determine that all related party transactions are on what the Committee believes to be arm’s-length terms.

Relations between CNH Industrial and its unconsolidated subsidiaries, its joint ventures, its associates and other related parties consist mainly of transactions of a commercial nature, which have an effect on revenues, cost of sales and trade receivables and payables.

33. IFRS to US GAAP reconciliation

This quarterly report has been prepared in accordance with the IFRS as issued by the IASB and as adopted by the European Union (refer to section “Significant accounting policies”, paragraph “Accounting policies”, for additional information).

Starting from the annual report on Form 20-F at December 31, 2013, CNH Industrial has begun to report financial results under U.S. GAAP for SEC reporting purposes, continuing to report under IFRS for European listing purposes and Dutch law requirements.

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

Description of reconciling items

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

 

(a) Development costs

Under 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 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 IFRS, have been reversed under U.S. GAAP. In the first quarter of 2014, under IFRS the Group capitalized $153 million ($138 million in the first quarter of 2013) of development costs and amortized $93 million ($75 million in the first quarter of 2013) of previously capitalized development costs that were reversed under U.S. GAAP (no impairment charges and no result on disposal were recorded in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013).

 

(b) Goodwill and other intangible assets

Goodwill is not amortized but rather tested for impairment at least annually under both IFRS and U.S. GAAP. The difference in goodwill and other intangible assets between the two sets of financial statements is primarily due to the different times when IFRS and ASC 350—Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, where adopted. 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. CNH Industrial transitioned to IFRS on January 1, 2004. Prior to the adoption of 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. In addition, IFRS and U.S. GAAP differ in the determination of the goodwill impairment amount, if any goodwill impairment needs to be recognized. However, no difference arose as no goodwill impairment was required in the first quarter of 2014 and 2013.

 

(c) 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 IFRS and U.S. GAAP. Under IFRS, 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, gains and losses are deferred through 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.

 

Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes at March 31, 2014     47


(d) Restructuring provisions

The principal difference between IFRS and U.S. GAAP with respect to accruing for restructuring costs is that 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 CNH Industrial 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 CNH Industrial restructuring activities.

 

(e) Other adjustments

Other adjustments refer to differences that are not individually material for the Group and are therefore shown as a combined total.

 

(f) Tax impact on adjustments

This item includes the tax effects of adjustments from (a) to (e) and mainly refers to development costs.

 

(g) Deferred tax assets and tax contingencies recognition

CNH Industrial policy for accounting for deferred income taxes under IFRS is described in section “Significant accounting policies” of the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2013. 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 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 IFRS and U.S. GAAP for financial reporting purposes. This adjustment relates primarily to deferred tax asset valuation allowances which have been established for U.S. GAAP purposes in certain foreign jurisdictions with U.S. GAAP pretax book losses in recent years higher than those recorded for IFRS purposes.
