Forward-looking statements, including those related to the COVID-19 pandemic, are not guarantees of future performance. Rather, they are based on current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control and are difficult to predict.

SEMI-ANNUAL MANAGEMENT REPORT
(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 under the laws of the Netherlands and has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its principal office in London, England, United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, 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 and Överum 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 and compact track loaders. 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, city-buses, commuter buses 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.

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 brand dealers. In addition, Financial Services provides wholesale financing to CNH Industrial brand 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.

Semi-Annual Management Report 4
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 to 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 or U.S. GAAP and are unlikely to be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance and financial position as prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS or U.S. GAAP.
Our non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:
▪Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under EU-IFRS: is defined as profit/(loss) before taxes, Financial Services' results, Industrial Activities' financial expenses, restructuring costs, and certain non-recurring items. Such non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities.
▪Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities 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, Financial Services' results, Industrial Activities' interest expenses, net, foreign exchange gains/losses, finance and non-service component of pension and other post-employment benefit costs, restructuring expenses, and certain non-recurring items.
▪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 an 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 Cash (Debt) and Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities under EU-IFRS: Net Cash (Debt) is defined as total Debt plus Derivative liabilities, net of Cash and cash equivalents, Current securities, Derivative assets and other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties). We provide the reconciliation of Net Cash (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 Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities.
▪Net Cash (Debt) and Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP: are derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Net Cash (Debt) under U.S. GAAP is defined as total debt less intersegment notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties) and derivative hedging debt.
▪Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (or Industrial Free Cash Flow) 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.
▪Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (or Industrial Free Cash Flow) under U.S. GAAP: 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 assets sold under buy-back commitments, assets under operating leases, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; change in derivatives hedging debt of Industrial Activities; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.
▪Available Liquidity under IFRS: is defined as cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash), undrawn medium-term unsecured committed facilities and other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties).
▪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 Management Report 5
RESULTS OF 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 commentary split by 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.
COVID-19 Effects and Actions
The COVID-19 pandemic and the related actions of governments and other authorities to contain COVID-19 spread continue to affect CNH Industrial’s business, results, cash flow and outlook. Governments in many countries where the Company operates, designated part of our businesses as essential critical infrastructure businesses. This designation allows CNH Industrial to operate in support of its dealers and customers to the extent possible. CNH Industrial also continues to prioritize the health, safety and well-being of its employees.
Rising demand is adding pressure to our supply chain, requiring diligent coordination to keep our production at desired levels. Adverse market trends in raw materials (particularly steel), freight and logistics costs have impacted our product cost performance in the first half of 2021.
We remain cautious about future impacts on CNH Industrial's end-markets and business operations of restrictions on social interactions and business operations to limit the resurgence of the pandemic. CNH Industrial is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, its employees and the Company's results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in 2021. For additional risks related to the COVID-19 pandemic, see section "Risk Factors", paragraph "COVID-19 Risks" in our 2020 Annual Report prepared under EU-IFRS.
Planned spin-off of On-Highway business
The Company has confirmed its intention to enhance its customer focus through the separation of its "On-Highway" (commercial and specialty vehicles, powertrain and the related financial services business) and "Off-Highway" (agriculture, construction and the related financial services business) businesses in early 2022. The separation is expected to be effected through the spin-off of CNH Industrial N.V.’s equity interest in "On-Highway" to CNH Industrial N.V. shareholders. Execution of the transaction requires further work on structure, management, governance and other significant matters as well as appropriate corporate approvals (including approval of our shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting) and satisfaction of other conditions. CNH Industrial can make no assurance that any spin-off transaction will ultimately occur, or, if one does occur, its terms or timing.
CNH Industrial did not classify the business that will be separated as assets held for distribution at June 30, 2021. The criteria within IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations were not met as the organization, terms, financing aspects and timeline of the transaction had not yet been finalized and will be subject to final approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting of CNH Industrial N.V.'s shareholders.

Net revenues
Net revenues were $8,918 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 60.3% (up 52.6% on a constant currency basis) compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020. Net revenues of Industrial Activities were $8,508 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, an increase of 65.3% compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 (up 57.1% on a constant currency basis), due to solid performance from all segments, as a result of higher volumes driven by strong industry demand and favorable price realization.
Cost of sales
Cost of sales were $7,135 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared with $5,393 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. As a percentage of net revenues of Industrial Activities, cost of sales was 81.1% in the three months ended June 30, 2021 (98.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2020), as a result of positive fixed cost absorption, partially offset by higher input costs. In the second quarter of 2020, cost of sales included $245 million of impairment losses against intangible and tangible assets, as well as $282 million asset optimization charges.
Selling, general and administrative costs
Selling, general and administrative costs were $622 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021 (7.0% of net revenues), up $191 million compared to the three months ended June 30, 2020 (7.7% of net revenues), as costs returned to more normal levels from the low levels experienced last year.
Semi-Annual Management Report 7
Research and development costs
In the three months ended June 30, 2021, research and development costs were $321 million ($307 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020) and included all the research and development costs not recognized as assets in the period amounting to $211 million ($130 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020), the amortization of capitalized development costs of $110 million ($105 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020), and no impairment losses ($72 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020). During the three months ended June 30, 2021, CNH Industrial capitalized new expenditures for development costs for $121 million ($77 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020). 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 $32 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 ($12 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020).
Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs for the three months ended June 30, 2021 were $10 million compared to $7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Goodwill impairment loss
No goodwill impairment loss was recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2021. In the three months ended June 30, 2020 goodwill impairment loss was $576 million and represented the total impairment of goodwill allocated to Construction.
Other income/(expenses)
Other expenses were $61 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. In both periods, this item primarily included legal costs, indirect taxes and the benefit costs for former employees.
Financial income/(expenses)
Net financial expenses were $53 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to $75 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020. The decrease was primarily attributable to a lower negative foreign exchange impact as well as lower average indebtedness, partially offset by higher currency translation impact.

Income tax (expense) benefit | (181) | | 81 | |
Effective tax rate | 24.2 | % | 6.3 | % |
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2021 was $181 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $81 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, based on CNH Industrial's loss before taxes of $1,276 million. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 24.2% and 6.3%, respectively. The 2021 effective tax rate primarily reflects the Company’s full year estimated annual tax rate, which was calculated in accordance with the applicable jurisdictional tax laws. Excluding the impacts of restructuring costs and other discrete charges associated with the Company’s spin-off of its On-Highway operations and pending acquisition of Raven Industries, the effective tax rate was 24% for the three months ended June 30, 2021. Excluding the impacts of the impairment charge related to Construction goodwill, for which no income tax benefits were reported, asset optimization charges, other assets impairment charges, restructuring costs and certain other tax adjustments, income taxes were an expense of $22 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, with an effective tax rate of negative 23%, which was primarily due to the impact of pre-tax losses in jurisdictions where tax benefits were not recognized.
Profit/(loss) for the period
Net profit was $566 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 compared to a net loss of $1,195 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020, which included the pre- and after-tax goodwill impairment loss of $576 million related to Construction, other assets impairment charges of $317 million ($261 million after-tax), as well as asset optimization charges of $282 million ($227 million after-tax).

Semi-Annual Management Report 23
At June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $8,584 million, a decrease of $1,045 million, or -10.9%, from $9,629 million at December 31, 2020, due to dividends paid of $0.2 billion, debt repayment of $1.9 billion (including $0.4 billion of notes repurchase), $0.4 billion in expenditures for property, plant, and equipment and intangible assets and $0.2 billion in translation exchange differences, partially offset by $1.4 billion in cash generated by operating activities and $600 million in new Capital bonds issuance.
Cash and cash equivalents at June 30, 2021 included $764 million ($844 million at December 31, 2020) of restricted cash that was reserved principally for the servicing of securitization-related debt. At June 30, 2021, undrawn medium-term unsecured committed facilities were $5,677 million ($6,148 million at December 31, 2020) and other current financial assets were $162 million ($94 million at December 31, 2020). At June 30, 2021, the aggregate of Cash and cash equivalents, undrawn medium-term unsecured committed facilities and other current financial assets, which we consider to constitute our principal liquid assets (or "Available liquidity"(1)), totaled $14,423 million ($15,871 million at December 31, 2020).
Net Cash from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities in the six months ended June 30, 2021 totaled $1,421 million and primarily comprised the following elements:
▪$979 million profit;
▪plus $596 million in non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization (net of commercial vehicles sold under buy-back commitments and operating leases);
▪plus change in provisions of $218 million;
▪less $528 million in change in working capital.
In the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash used by operating activities was $723 million primarily due to the adverse impact of COVID-19 and the increase in working capital.
Net Cash from Investing Activities
In the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used by investing activities was $744 million, primarily due to investments in tangible and intangible assets of $412 million (including $211 million in capitalized development costs) and a net increase in receivables from financing activities of $386 million, partially offset by other changes of $137 million due to change in intersegment receivables/payables. Investments in tangible and intangible assets are net of investments in commercial vehicles for our long-term rental operations and of investments relating to vehicles sold under buy-back commitments, which are reflected in cash flows relating to operating activities.
In the six months ended June 30, 2020, cash provided by investing activities totaled $734 million due to a net decrease in receivables from financing activities of $1,034 million, partially offset by expenditures on tangible and intangible assets of $288 million (including $155 million in capitalized development costs).
(1) a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in paragraph "Alternative performance measures (or "Non-GAAP financial measures") of section "General" above.
Semi-Annual Management Report 24
Net Cash from Financing Activities
In the six months ended June 30, 2021, cash used by financing activities was $1,549 million, compared to $260 million provided in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Net cash used in and provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was primarily due to the net decrease or increase in debt.
Consolidated Debt
Our consolidated Debt at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, is as detailed in the following table: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | At June 30, 2021 | | At December 31, 2020 |

Total Debt | | 25,038 | | 7,936 | | 19,654 | | 26,618 | | 8,798 | | 19,722 |
We believe that Net Cash (Debt), a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in paragraph "Alternative performance measures (or "Non-GAAP financial measures")" of section "General" above, is a useful analytical metric for measuring our effective borrowing requirements. We provide a separate analysis of Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities and Net Cash (Debt) of Financial Services to reflect the different cash flow management practices in the two activities. Industrial Activities reflects the consolidation of all majority-owned subsidiaries, including those performing centralized treasury activities, except for Financial Services. Financial Services reflects the consolidation of the Financial Services’ businesses.
The calculation of Net Cash (Debt) at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the reconciliation of Total (Debt), the EU-IFRS financial measure that we believe to be most directly comparable, to Net Cash (Debt), are shown below: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

(1) As a result of the role played by the central treasury, debt for Industrial Activities also includes funding raised by the central treasury on behalf of Financial Services (included under Intersegment financial receivables). Intersegment notes receivable 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 $1,271 million and $1,018 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. Total Debt of Financial Services includes Intersegment notes payable to Industrial Activities of $1,281 million and $884 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
(2) Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities include, respectively, the positive and negative fair values of derivative financial instruments.
(3) This item includes short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties.
(4) The net intersegment receivable/(payable) balance recorded by Financial Services relating to Industrial Activities was $-10 million and $134 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Excluding positive exchange rate differences effect of $235 million, Net Debt at June 30, 2021 decreased by $312 million compared to December 31, 2020 mainly reflecting $0.6 billion positive Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities, partially offset by $0.2 billion in dividends paid.

(2) Excluding assets sold under buy-back commitments and assets under operating leases.
(3) In the six months ended June 30, 2021, this item also includes the charge of $8 million related to the repurchase of notes.
We believe that Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in paragraph "Alternative performance measures (or "Non-GAAP financial measures")" of section "General" above) is a useful analytical metric for measuring the cash generation ability of our Industrial Activities. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities was a generation of $618 million due to the strong operating performance, partially offset by the seasonal 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, 2021 and 2020, is shown below:

(1) This item primarily includes change in intersegment financial receivables and capital increases in intersegment investments.
The non-GAAP financial measures (Available liquidity, Net Cash (Debt) and Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities), used in this section, 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.
With the purpose of further diversifying its funding structure, CNH Industrial has established various commercial paper programs. CNH Industrial Financial Services S.A. in Europe issued commercial paper under a program which had an amount of $61 million outstanding at June 30, 2021 ($112 million at December 31, 2020).
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. CNH Industrial exercised the first of the two extension options as of February 28, 2020 and the second extension option as of February 26, 2021. The facility is now due to mature in March 2026 for €3,950.5 million; the remaining €49.5 million will mature in March 2025. Available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $5.7 billion at June 30, 2021 ($6.1 billion at December 31, 2020). Total
Semi-Annual Management Report 26
committed secured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $2.9 billion at June 30, 2021 ($3.9 billion at December 31, 2020), of which $0.7 billion was available at June 30, 2021 ($0.2 billion at December 31, 2020).
CNH Industrial continues to closely monitor its liquidity and capital resources for any potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may have on its operations. With the strong liquidity position at the end of June and the demonstrated access to the financial markets, CNH Industrial believes that its cash and cash equivalents, access to credit facilities and cash flows from future operations will be adequate to fund its known cash needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

NOTES
(Unaudited)
CORPORATE INFORMATION
CNH Industrial N.V. (the “Company” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, “CNH Industrial” or the “CNH Industrial Group” or the “Group”) is the company formed as a result of the business combination transaction (the “Merger”), completed on September 29, 2013, between Fiat Industrial S.p.A. (“Fiat Industrial” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Fiat Industrial Group”) and its majority owned subsidiary CNH Global N.V. (“CNH Global”). CNH Industrial N.V. is incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands. CNH Industrial N.V. has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its principal office in London, England, United Kingdom. CNH Industrial is a leading company in the capital goods sector that, through its various businesses, designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment, construction equipment, trucks, commercial vehicles, buses and specialty vehicles, in addition to a broad portfolio of powertrain applications (see Note 26 “Segment reporting”). In addition, CNH Industrial’s Financial Services segment offers an array of financial products and services, including retail financing for the purchase or lease of new and used CNH Industrial and other manufacturers’ products and other retail financing programs and wholesale financing to dealers.
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
The Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 together with the notes thereto (the "Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements”) were authorized for issuance on August 5, 2021 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, 2020, included in the Annual Report prepared under EU-IFRS (in the following, the “CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2020”). The accounting standards and policies are consistent with those used at December 31, 2020, except as described in the following paragraph “New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2021”.
The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified as required for the measurement of certain financial instruments, as well as on a going concern basis. Despite operating in a continuously difficult economic and financial environment negatively impacted by the continuing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group’s assessment is that no material uncertainties (as defined in paragraph 25 of IAS 1) exist about its ability to continue as a going concern, in view also of the measures already undertaken by the Group to preserve cash and contain costs, and to preserve its industrial and financial flexibility and its strong liquidity position.
These Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared using the U.S. dollar as the presentation currency. The functional currency of the parent company (CNH Industrial N.V.) is the euro. The U.S. dollar presentation currency was elected to be used in order to improve comparability with main competitors, mainly in the agriculture and construction businesses, and to provide more meaningful information to U.S. investors.
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 37
Use of accounting estimates and management’s assumptions
The preparation of the Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of income, expenses, assets, liabilities, accumulated other comprehensive income and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent liabilities. Furthermore, certain valuation procedures, in particular those of a more complex nature, 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 historical financial results and figures from budget and plans for subsequent years. Income taxes are recognized based upon the best estimate of the actual income tax rate expected for the full financial year.
Due to the currently unforeseeable global consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic, these estimates and assumptions are subject to increased uncertainty. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the financial statements. 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.
These Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include all updates of estimates and assumptions 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, 2020 for a description of the significant estimates, judgments and assumptions of CNH Industrial at that date.
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. These 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 and Control System” section and Note 30 “Information on financial risks” of CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2020, as well as those discussed in Note 16 “Current receivables and Other current financial assets”.
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, 2021
On August 27, 2020 the IASB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16), which addresses the accounting for changes in the basis for determining contractual cash flows as a consequence of IBOR reform. Furthermore, the amendments include additional temporary exceptions from applying specific hedge accounting requirements and additional disclosures. The amendments are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. These amendments had no impact on these Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Group intends to apply these amendments in the future periods if they become applicable.
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 38
Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not early adopted by the Group
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, 2020, for a description of other new standards not yet effective and not adopted as of June 30, 2021. Furthermore, on May 7, 2021 the IASB issued Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12), which specifies how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The amendments clarify that no exemption applies on such transactions and that companies are required to recognize deferred tax when they recognize the related assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023, with early application permitted. At the date of these Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the European Union has not yet completed its endorsement process for these amendments. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these amendments on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
SCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION
Planned spin-off of On-Highway business
The Company has confirmed its intention to enhance its customer focus through the separation of its "On-Highway" (commercial and specialty vehicles, powertrain and the related financial services business) and "Off-Highway" (agriculture, construction and the related financial services business) businesses in early 2022. The separation is expected to be effected through the spin-off of CNH Industrial N.V.’s equity interest in "On-Highway" to CNH Industrial N.V. shareholders. Execution of the transaction requires further work on structure, management, governance and other significant matters as well as appropriate corporate approvals (including approval of our shareholders at an Extraordinary General Meeting) and satisfaction of other conditions. CNH Industrial can make no assurance that any spin-off transaction will ultimately occur, or, if one does occur, its terms or timing.
CNH Industrial did not classify the business that will be separated as assets held for distribution at June 30, 2021. The criteria within IFRS 5 - Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations were not met as the organization, terms, financing aspects and timeline of the transaction had not yet been finalized and will be subject to final approval by an Extraordinary General Meeting of CNH Industrial N.V.'s shareholders.
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
There were no significant business combinations in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
On June 21, 2021, CNH Industrial announced that it entered into an agreement and plan of merger to acquire 100% of the capital stock of Raven Industries, Inc., ("Raven") for $58 per share, representing a $2.1 billion enterprise value. The transaction will be funded with available cash on hand of CNH Industrial. Closing is expected to occur in the fourth quarter of 2021, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including approval of Raven shareholders and receipt of regulatory approvals. Raven is a diversified technology company providing a variety of products to customers within the industrial, agricultural, geomembrane, construction, commercial lighter-than-air, and aerospace and defense markets. Raven markets its products around the world and has its principal operations in the United States of America.

9. Income tax (expense) benefit
Income tax (expense) benefit recognized in the condensed consolidated income statement consists of the following: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, |
($ million) | 2021 | | 2020 | | 2021 | | 2020 | |
Current taxes | (212) | | (112) | | (323) | | (115) | |
Deferred taxes | 31 | | 191 | | 8 | | 220 | |
Taxes relating to prior periods | — | | 2 | | (11) | | 11 | |
Total Income tax (expense) benefit | (181) | | 81 | | (326) | | 116 | |
The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 24.2% and 6.3%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were 25.0% and 8.2%, respectively. The current period effective tax rate primarily reflects the Company’s full year estimated annual tax rate, which was calculated in accordance with the applicable jurisdictional tax laws. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, income taxes were a benefit of $81 million and $116 million, respectively, primarily caused by CNH Industrial reporting a loss before taxes during the periods of $1,276 million and $1,410 million, respectively.
As in all financial reporting periods, CNH Industrial assessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets, which relate to multiple tax jurisdictions in all regions of the world. While no assessment changes occurred during the current period, it is possible that, within the next twelve months, assessment changes could occur and may have a material impact on CNH Industrial’s results of operations. The jurisdictions where assessment changes are most likely to occur include CNH Industrial’s primary manufacturing operations in Europe and Brazil.
CNH Industrial 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 CNH Industrial’s amount of unrecognized tax benefits could change during the next twelve months. Those changes, however, are not expected to have a material impact on CNH Industrial’s results of operations, statement of financial position, or cash flows.
10. 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 potential common shares.
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 20 “Equity”.
A reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings/(loss) per share is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Three months ended June 30, | Six months ended June 30, |
| | 2021 | | 2020 | | 2021 | | 2020 | |

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurs and impairment indicators are identified. CNH Industrial performed its most recent annual impairment review as of December 31, 2020. At that date, the estimated recoverable amounts of the Agriculture and Financial Services cash-generating units exceeded the carrying value by approximately 188% and 46%, respectively.
12. Property, plant and equipment
Changes in the carrying amount of Property, plant and equipment for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

For a description of the related lease liabilities, refer to Note 22 "Debt".
Short-term and low-value leases are not recorded in the statement of financial position; CNH Industrial recognizes lease expense ($11 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021 and $10 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020) in the income statement for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
13. Investments and other non-current financial assets
Investments and other non-current financial assets at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 consisted of the following: | | | | | | | | |
($ million) | At June 30, 2021 | At December 31, 2020 |
Equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income | 464 | | 392 | |

Total Investments and other non-current financial assets | 1,075 | | 1,021 | |
Equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income include the fair value of the approximately 6.5% investment held by CNH Industrial in Nikola Corporation ("Nikola"), made in the context of the strategic partnership with Nikola to industrialize fuel-cell and battery electric Heavy-Duty trucks. During the second quarter of 2020, Nikola completed a business combination with VectoIQ Acquisition Corp., a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company. Under the terms and conditions of the business combination, the former shareholders of Nikola received 1.901 shares of VectoIQ for each share held in Nikola and became shareholders of VectoIQ, which, in turn, changed its name to “Nikola Corporation”. The combined company’s shares continued to list on NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol “NKLA”. Before the completion of the business combination, CNH Industrial increased its
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 44
investment in Nikola to $250 million. The market price of Nikola shares as of June 30, 2021 was $18.06, determining a value of $464 million for the 25,661,448 shares held by CNH Industrial through its fully-owned subsidiary Iveco S.p.A. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, CNH Industrial recorded in Other comprehensive income a pre-tax gain of $107 million ($106 million after tax) and of $72 million ($71 million after tax), respectively, from the remeasurement at fair value of the investment in Nikola. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, CNH Industrial recorded in Other comprehensive income a pre-tax gain of $1,480 million ($1,462 million after tax) and of $1,483 million ($1,464 million after tax), respectively, from the remeasurement at fair value of the investment in Nikola Corporation.
Iveco S.p.A. and Nikola Corporation are jointly developing cab over battery-electric vehicle (“BEV”) and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle (“FCEV”) trucks, which will be manufactured in Europe through a legal entity 50/50 owned by Iveco S.p.A. and Nikola Corporation, and in the U.S. by Nikola Corporation. During 2020, Iveco S.p.A. and Nikola entered into a series of agreements to establish the European legal entity. The set-up activities of the legal entity started in the fourth quarter of 2020 and the implementation continues in line with the roadmap.
Changes in Investments were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

Revaluations and write-downs primarily consist of adjustments for the result of the period to the carrying amount of investments accounted for using the equity method.
14. Leased assets
Leased assets primarily include equipment and vehicles leased to retail customers by Financial Services under operating lease arrangements. Such leases typically have terms of 3 to 5 years with options available for the lessee to purchase the equipment at the lease term date. Revenues for non-lease components are accounted for separately.
Changes in the carrying amount of Leased assets for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were as follows: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

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.
Wholesale receivables arise primarily from the sale of goods to dealers and distributors and, to a lesser extent, the financing of dealer operations. Under the standard terms of the wholesale receivable agreements, these receivables typically have “interest-free” periods of up to twelve months and stated original maturities of up to twenty-four months, with repayment accelerated upon the sale of the underlying equipment by the dealer. During the “interest free” period, Financial Services is compensated by Industrial Activities for the difference between market interest rates and the amount paid by the dealer. After the expiration of any “interest-free” period, interest is charged to dealers on outstanding balances until CNH Industrial receives payment in full. The “interest-free” periods are determined based on the type of equipment sold and the time of year of the sale. CNH Industrial evaluates and assesses dealers on an ongoing basis as to their credit worthiness. CNH Industrial may be obligated to repurchase the dealer’s equipment upon cancellation or termination of the dealer’s contract for such causes as change in ownership, closeout of the business, or default. There were no significant losses in the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 relating to the termination of dealer contracts.
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 46
Financing receivables are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not yet been received as of the contractual payment due date. Delinquency is reported in financing receivables greater than 30 days past due. Non-performing financing receivables represent loans for which CNH Industrial has ceased accruing finance income. These receivables are generally 90 days delinquent. Finance income for non-performing receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrued interest is charged-off to Interest income. Interest income charged-off was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. Accrual of finance income is resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured.

There is not a disproportionate concentration of credit risk in any geographic region. 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.
A financial asset has experienced a significant increase in credit risk when the customer shows signs of operational or financial weakness including past dues, which requires significant collection effort and monitoring and generally occurs when the customer becomes past due greater than 30 days. The assessment considers available information regarding the financial stability of the customer and other market/industry data; an account is typically considered in default when it is 90 days past due.
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 47
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 two portfolio segments: retail and wholesale. 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 region 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.
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.

At June 30, 2021, the allowance for credit losses includes a continued reassessment of the outlook by region regarding the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on credit conditions. CNH Industrial continues to monitor the situation and will update the macroeconomic factors and qualitative factors in future periods, as warranted.
At both June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, the allowance for credit losses was based on CNH Industrial's expectation of deteriorating credit conditions related to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Allowance for credit losses activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and for the year ended December 31, 2020 is as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructurings
A restructuring of a receivable constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when the lender grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a borrower that is 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 the collateral. In determining collateral value, CNH Industrial estimates the current fair market value of the equipment collateral and considers credit enhancements such as additional collateral and third-party guarantees.
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 50
Before removing a receivable from TDR classification, a review of the borrower is conducted. If concerns persist 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, 2021, CNH Industrial had 204 retail and finance lease contracts classified as TDRs in North America where a court has determined the concession. The pre-modification value of these contracts was $6 million and the post-modification value was $5 million. Additionally, CNH Industrial had 339 accounts with a balance of $22 million in North America undergoing bankruptcy proceedings where a concession has not yet been determined. As of June 30, 2020, CNH Industrial had 275 retail and finance lease contracts classified as TDRs in North America where a court has determined the concession. The pre-modification value was $9 million and the post-modification value was $8 million. Additionally, CNH Industrial had 330 accounts with a balance of $21 million in North America undergoing bankruptcy proceedings 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, 2021 and 2020.
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, CNH Industrial had retail and finance lease receivable contracts classified as TDRs in Europe. The pre-modification value was $86 million and $78 million, respectively, and the post-modification value was $79 million and $71 million, respectively. 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, 2021 and 2020.
As of June 30, 2021 and 2020, CNH Industrial’s wholesale TDRs were immaterial.
Transfers of financial receivables
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 22 “Debt”). The gains and losses arising from the transfer of these assets are only recognized when the assets are derecognized.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the carrying amounts of such restricted assets included in Receivables from financing activities are the following:
| | | | | | | | |
($ million) | At June 30, 2021 | At December 31, 2020 |
Restricted receivables: | | |
Retail financing and finance lease receivables | 5,662 | | 6,224 | |
Wholesale receivables | 6,613 | | 7,011 | |
Total restricted receivables | 12,275 | | 13,235 | |
CNH Industrial has discounted receivables and bills without recourse having due dates beyond June 30, 2021 amounting to $276 million ($351 million at December 31, 2020, with due dates beyond that date), which refer to trade receivables and other receivables for $269 million ($337 million at December 31, 2020), and receivables from financing activities for $7 million ($14 million at December 31, 2020).
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 51
17. Derivative assets and Derivative 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.
With regard to hedge accounting, CNH Industrial continues to monitor significant developments in order to assess the potential future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hedging relationships in place and to update its estimates concerning whether forecasted transactions can still be considered highly likely to occur.
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 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 $-83 million for foreign exchange contracts in the six months ended June 30, 2021. 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 $-21 million. If a derivative instrument is terminated because the hedge relationship is no longer effective or because the hedged item is a forecasted transaction that is no longer determined to be probable, the cumulative amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) is recognized immediately in earnings. Such amounts were insignificant in all periods presented.
CNH Industrial also uses forwards and swaps to hedge certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Such derivatives are considered economic hedges and not designated as hedging instruments. The changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized directly in income in “Financial income/(expenses)” and are expected to offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the exposures being managed.
All of CNH Industrial’s foreign exchange derivatives are considered Level 2 as the fair value is calculated using market data input and can be compared to actively traded derivatives. The total notional amount of CNH Industrial’s foreign exchange derivatives was $7.9 billion at June 30, 2021 and $6.3 billion at December 31, 2020.
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 52
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 are 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 $-3 million for interest rate derivatives in the six months ended June 30, 2021.
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, 2021 and December 31, 2020 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 $7.8 billion and $7.5 billion at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
As a result of the reform and replacement of specific benchmark interest rates, uncertainty remains regarding the timing and exact nature of those changes. At June 30, 2021, the notional amount of hedging instruments that could be affected by the reform of benchmark interest rates is $1,230 million ($1,194 million at December 31, 2020).

In order to maintain the necessary operating flexibility over an adequate time period, on April 15, 2021, 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 14, 2022). 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). Neither the renewal of the authorization, nor the launch of any program obliges the Company to buy-back any common shares. The launch of any new program will be subject to a further resolution of the Board of Director. In any event, such programs may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time for any reason and without previous notice, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

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 24 “Debt” to the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2020.
With the purpose of further diversifying its funding structure, CNH Industrial has established various commercial paper programs. CNH Industrial Financial Services S.A. in Europe issued commercial paper under a program which had an amount of $61 million outstanding at June 30, 2021 ($112 million at December 31, 2020).
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
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 60
second anniversary of the signing date. CNH Industrial exercised the first of the two extension options as of February 28, 2020 and the second extension option as of February 26, 2021. The facility is now due to mature in March 2026 for €3,950.5 million; the remaining €49.5 million will mature in March 2025. Available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $5.7 billion at June 30, 2021 ($6.1 billion at December 31, 2020). Total committed secured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $2.9 billion at June 30, 2021 ($3.9 billion at December 31, 2020), of which $0.7 billion was available at June 30, 2021 ($0.2 billion at December 31, 2020).
23. Trade payables
Trade payables were $7,100 million at June 30, 2021 and increased by $745 million from the amount at December 31, 2020.
24. Other current liabilities
At June 30, 2021, Other current liabilities mainly included $1,183 million of amounts payable to customers relating to repurchase price on buy-back agreements ($1,355 million at December 31, 2020), and $1,392 million of contract liabilities ($1,381 million at December 31, 2020), of which $722 million for future rents related to buy-back agreements ($740 million at December 31, 2020). Other current liabilities also included accrued expenses and deferred income of $592 million ($561 million at December 31, 2020).
25. Commitments and contingencies
As a global Group with a diverse business portfolio, CNH Industrial in the ordinary course of business is exposed to numerous legal risks, including, without limitation, 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, competition law and other investigations and environmental claims. 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 fines 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: in 2011 Iveco S.p.A., the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, active in the commercial vehicle business, and its competitors in the European Union were subject to an investigation by the European Commission (the “Commission”) into certain business practices in the European Union (in the period 1997-2011) in relation to M&H trucks. On July 19, 2016, the Commission announced a settlement with Iveco. Following the settlement, CNH Industrial has been named as defendant in private litigation commenced in various European jurisdictions and Israel by customers and other third parties, either acting individually or as part of a wider group or class of claimants. Most of these claims remain at an early stage. Further, on the basis 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 the same and other jurisdictions. The extent and outcome of these claims cannot be predicted at this time.
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 61
FPT Emissions Investigation: on July 22, 2020, a number of CNH Industrial's offices in Europe were visited by investigators in the context of a request for assistance by the public prosecutors of Frankfurt am Main, Germany and Turin, Italy in relation to alleged noncompliance of two engine models produced by FPT Industrial S.p.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of CNH Industrial, installed in certain Ducato (a vehicle distributed by the Stellantis group) and Iveco Daily vehicles. CNH Industrial immediately made itself available to these investigators and is providing its full cooperation to properly address the requests received. Although at the date hereof CNH Industrial has no evidence of any wrongdoing, CNH Industrial cannot predict at this time the extent and outcome of these requests and directly or indirectly related legal proceedings.
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 $490 million and $615 million at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
26. 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 and Överum 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 and compact track loaders. 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, city-buses, commuter buses 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, under the FPT Industrial brand, a range of engines, transmission systems and axles for on- and off-road applications, as well as for marine and power generation.
▪Financial Services offers a range of financial products and 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 brand dealers. In addition, Financial Services provides wholesale financing to CNH Industrial brand 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.
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 62
With reference to Industrial Activities' segments, the CODM assesses segment performance and makes decisions about resource allocation based upon Adjusted EBIT calculated using U.S. GAAP. CNH Industrial believes Adjusted EBIT more fully reflects Industrial Activities segments' inherent profitability. Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP is defined as net income (loss) before: Income taxes, Financial Services' results, Industrial Activities' interest expenses, (net), foreign exchange gains/losses, finance and non-service component of pension and other post-employment benefit costs, restructuring expenses, 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. With reference to Financial Services, the CODM assesses the performance of the segment and makes decisions about resource allocation on the basis of net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following table summarizes Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP by reportable segment: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

27. 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

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. The fair value of these bonds 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 equivalents, Trade receivables, Other current receivables and financial 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.
28. Related party transactions
In accordance with IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures, CNH Industrial’s related parties are companies and persons capable of exercising control, joint control or significant influence over the Group. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, related parties included CNH Industrial N.V.’s parent company EXOR N.V. and the companies that EXOR N.V. and its subsidiaries and affiliates including Stellantis N.V. (formerly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. which, effective January 16, 2021, merged with Peugeot S.A. by means of a cross-border legal merger) and its subsidiaries and affiliates ("Stellantis"), and CNH Industrial’s unconsolidated subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures. In addition, the members of the Board of Directors and managers of CNH Industrial with strategic responsibility and members of their families were also considered related parties.
As of June 30, 2021, based on public information available and in reference to Company's files, EXOR N.V. held 42.5% 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 owned by EXOR N.V. to (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding common shares and special voting shares of CNH Industrial as of June 30, 2021.
In addition, CNH Industrial engages in transactions with its unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates and other related parties on commercial terms that are normal in the respective markets, considering the characteristics of the goods or services involved.

In connection with the establishment of Fiat Industrial (now CNH Industrial) through the demerger from Fiat (which was subsequently merged into Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. which is now Stellantis), the two companies entered into a Master Services Agreement (“Stellantis MSA”) which sets forth the primary terms and conditions pursuant to which the service provider subsidiaries of CNH Industrial and Stellantis provide services to the service receiving subsidiaries. As structured, the applicable service provider and service receiver subsidiaries become parties to the Stellantis MSA through the execution of an Opt-in letter that may contain additional terms and conditions. Pursuant to the Stellantis MSA, service receivers are required to pay to service providers the actual cost of the services plus a negotiated margin. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, Stellantis subsidiaries provided CNH Industrial with

30. EU-IFRS to U.S. GAAP reconciliation
These Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the EU-IFRS (see section “Significant accounting policies”, paragraph “Basis of preparation”, for additional information).
CNH Industrial reports quarterly and annual consolidated financial results in accordance with EU-IFRS for European listing purposes and for Dutch law requirements and in accordance with U.S. GAAP for SEC reporting purposes.
EU-IFRS differ in certain significant requirements from U.S. GAAP. In order to help readers to understand the difference between the two sets of financial statements of the Group, CNH Industrial has provided, on a voluntary basis, a reconciliation from EU-IFRS to U.S. GAAP as follows:

Description of reconciling items
Reconciling items presented in the tables above are described as follows:
(a)Development costs
Under EU-IFRS, costs relating to development projects are recognized as intangible assets when costs can be measured reliably and the technical feasibility of the product, volumes and pricing support the view that the development expenditure will generate future economic benefits. Under U.S. GAAP, development costs are expensed as incurred. As a result, costs incurred related to development projects that have been capitalized under EU-IFRS are expensed as incurred under U.S. GAAP. Amortization expenses, net of result on disposal and impairment charges of previously capitalized development costs recorded under EU-IFRS, have been reversed under U.S. GAAP.
(b) Nikola investment fair value adjustment
Under EU-IFRS, CNH Industrial elected to measure its investment in Nikola Corporation at fair value through other comprehensive income. Under U.S. GAAP, starting from the second quarter of 2020, this investment is measured at fair value through profit or loss (measured at cost before that period). Any fair value remeasurement gain or loss is therefore recorded in other comprehensive income under EU-IFRS and in profit or loss under US GAAP. Refer to Note 13 for a detailed description of this investment and the remeasurement adjustment recognized under EU-IFRS.
(c) 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.
Semi-Annual Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements at June 30, 2021 69
▪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.
(d) 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 for 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, 2020. 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 pre-tax 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 pre-tax book losses higher than those recorded for EU-IFRS purposes.
