Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated financial statements of CNH Industrial N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries have been voluntarily prepared by the Company without audit. Although prepared on a voluntary basis, the condensed consolidated financial statements included in the report comply in all material respects with the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) governing interim financial statements. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have been reflected in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the fiscal year. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related accompanying notes and disclosures. Significant uncertainties, including rising inflation, geopolitical instability and the war in the Ukraine may impact the Company's business, which may cause actual results to differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the financial statements including, but not limited to, future cash flows associated with goodwill, indefinite life intangibles, definite life intangibles, long-lived impairment tests, determination of discount rates and other assumptions for pension and other post-retirement benefit expense and income taxes. Changes in estimates are recorded in results of operations in the period during which the events or circumstances giving rise to such changes occur.

Certain financial information in this report has been presented by geographic region. Our geographic regions are: (1) North America; (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"); (3) South America and (4) Asia Pacific. The geographic designations have the following meanings:

•North America: United States, Canada, and Mexico;

•Europe, Middle East, and Africa: member countries of the European Union, European Free Trade Association, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Balkans, Russia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, the African continent, and the Middle East;

•South America: Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands; and

•Asia Pacific: Continental Asia (including the India subcontinent), Indonesia, and Oceania.

New Accounting Policies Adopted and Not Yet Adopted

Adopted in 2023

Revenue Contract Assets and Liabilities Acquired in a Business Combination

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"). ASU 2021-08 requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) as applied by the acquiree to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contract assets and liabilities instead of at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 and applied the guidance within ASU 2021-08 on business combinations beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors in ASC 310-40 and amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require disclosure of current-period gross write-offs by year of origination. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities can elect to adopt the guidance on TDRs using either a prospective or modified retrospective transition. The amendments related to disclosures should be adopted prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 and applied the guidance within ASU 2022-02 to its consolidated financial statements and disclosures prospectively beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and note disclosures.

Supplier Finance Programs Disclosures

In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations ("ASU 2022-04"). ASU 2022-04 requires the buyer in a supplier finance program disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a roll forward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the disclosure of roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2022-04 and applied the guidance within ASU 2022-04 to its disclosures beginning January 1, 2023. As these amendments relate to disclosures only, there are no impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Under the supply chain finance programs, administered by a third party, our suppliers are given the opportunity to sell receivables from us to participating financial institutions at their sole discretion. Our responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with our supplier, regardless of whether the supplier sells its receivable to a financial institution. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the program.

As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, $216 million and $189 million of obligations remain outstanding that we have confirmed as valid to the administrators of the supply chain finance programs. These balances are included within “Accounts payable” in our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are reflected as cash flow from operating activities in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows when settled.

Not Yet Adopted

Leases between entities under common control

In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements ("ASU 2023-01"). ASU 2023-01 requires that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset. Additionally, the leasehold improvements are subject to the impairment guidance in Topic 360: Property, Plant and Equipment. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, of adoption to our consolidated financial statements.

Reference Rate ReformIn March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by Reference Rate Reform if certain criteria are met. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (ASU 2022-06"). ASU 2022-06 extended the sunset date of ASC Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company has not adopted ASU 2020-04 as of March 31, 2023. ASU 2020-04 is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
