Foreign private issuer status
Starting with its third quarter 2022 results, CNH Industrial N.V. ("CNH" or the "Company") began voluntarily reporting its financial results under the periodic reporting forms for U.S. domestic filers. As of June 30, 2024, CNH determined that it will no longer qualify as a foreign private issuer, as defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) as of January 1, 2025. As a result, effective as of January 1, 2025, the Company will no longer be eligible to use the rules designed for foreign private issuers and will be considered a U.S. domestic issuer. The Company will continue to file annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and current reports on Form 8-K. In addition, as of January 1, 2025, CNH will be required to comply with, among other things, the requirement to file proxy statements and/or information statements under U.S. proxy rules (Regulations 14A and 14C under the Exchange Act), and its officers, directors and “10% shareholders” will become subject to the beneficial ownership reporting and short-swing profit recovery requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNH” or the “Company”) is incorporated in, and under the laws of, the Netherlands. CNH is a leading company in the capital goods sector that designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment and construction equipment. In addition, CNH’s Financial Services segment offers financial products and services, including retail financing for the purchase or lease of new and used CNH and other manufacturers’ products and other retail financing programs and wholesale financing to dealers.
The consolidated financial statements of CNH and its consolidated subsidiaries have been voluntarily prepared by the Company without audit. Although prepared on a voluntary basis, the 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 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, 2023. 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, and geopolitical events 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.

Business Combinations
Effective October 12, 2023, CNH closed on its purchase of Hemisphere, a global satellite navigation technology leader, for a total consideration of $181 million. The acquisition of Hemisphere consolidates our guidance and connectivity capabilities to advance CNH's in-house precision, automation and autonomy technology for the agriculture and construction industries. At December 31, 2023, CNH recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including $111 million and $51 million in preliminary goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not been finalized as of September 30, 2024. Thus, goodwill associated with the acquisition is subject to adjustment during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments were recorded in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 which decreased goodwill by $3 million and increased other intangible assets by $6 million, offset by an increase in deferred tax liabilities and a decrease in other assets and equity. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the Hemisphere acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Additionally, Hemisphere's post-acquisition results were not material.
On March 15, 2023, CNH acquired a controlling interest in Bennamann LTD ("Bennamann") (ownership interest of 50.0085%) by purchasing an additional 34.4% interest through cash consideration of approximately $51 million. At March 31, 2023, CNH recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including $118 million and $46 million in preliminary goodwill and intangible assets, respectively.
Measurement period adjustments were made in the second and third quarters of 2023 reducing goodwill by $3 million, primarily offset by increases in intangible assets as a result of updates of certain of the valuations. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized as of March 2024. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the Bennamann acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Additionally, Bennamann's post-acquisition results were not material.
On March 13, 2023, CNH purchased Augmenta Holding SAS ("Augmenta"). The Company acquired the remaining 89.5% of Augmenta it did not own for cash consideration of approximately $80 million and a deferred payment of $10 million. At March 31, 2023, CNH recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including $76 million and $35 million in preliminary goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. Measurement period adjustments were recorded in the second and third quarters of 2023 reducing goodwill by $14 million primarily offset by increases in intangible assets as a result of updates of certain of the valuations. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized as of March 2024. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the Augmenta acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Additionally, Augmenta's post-acquisition results were not material.
Immaterial Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements
In connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements as at and for the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company identified an immaterial error related to the highly inflationary accounting for its unconsolidated subsidiary in Turkey, TürkTraktör ve Ziraat Makineleri A.S. ("TürkTraktör") in the quarterly and annual periods in fiscal 2023 and first and second quarters in fiscal 2024. The functional currency of Türkiye-based TürkTraktör is the Turkish lira, and the Türkiye economy was deemed highly inflationary in 2022. CNH has determined that its translation criteria from Turkish lira into CNH's functional currency of US Dollars resulted in an overstatement of CNH's Equity in income of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and Affiliates by $96 million in 2023 and by $67 million in the first half of 2024. In accordance with SAB No. 99, “Materiality,” and SAB No. 108, “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” CNH evaluated the error and determined that the related impact was not material to its financial statements for any prior annual or interim period, but that correcting the cumulative impact of the error would be significant to its results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2024. For comparative purposes, the Company has made these immaterial corrections to the recognition of highly inflationary impacts, as well as the related impacts to assets and retained earnings in the prior periods presented in this Form 10-Q. The impacts of the error and subsequent corrections are contained entirely within the Agriculture segment. A summary of revisions to our previously reported financial statements is presented in Note 20. We will also correct previously reported financial information for this immaterial error in the Company's future filings, as applicable.
2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Adopted in 2024
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 adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Not Yet Adopted
Expense Disaggregation Disclosures
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40) to improve the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses and provide more detailed information about the types of expenses included in certain expense captions in the consolidated financial statements. The amendments in this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted and the amendments in this update should be applied either prospectively to financial statements issued for reporting periods after the effective date of this update or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
Improvements to income tax disclosures
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income
taxes paid information. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our income tax disclosures.
Improvements to reportable segment disclosures
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of ASU 2023-07 will require additional segment expense disclosures when adopted in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 and in periodic reports thereafter.
Disclosure improvements
In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate that the ASU will have a material effect on its financial statements and related disclosures.

Contract liabilities recorded in Other liabilities were $66 million and $50 million at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Contract liabilities primarily relate to extended warranties. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, revenues included $4 million and $13 million, respectively, relating to contract liabilities outstanding at the beginning of each period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, revenues included $3 million and $8 million, respectively, relating to contract liabilities outstanding at the beginning of each period.
As of September 30, 2024, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $66 million (approximately $48 million at December 31, 2023). CNH expects to recognize revenue on approximately 32% and 95% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 36 months, respectively (approximately 32% and 95% as of December 31, 2023, respectively).
4. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
The Company consolidates various securitization trusts and facilities that have been determined to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and of which the Company is a primary beneficiary. The Company has both the power to direct the activities of the VIEs that most significantly impact the VIEs’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. For further information regarding VIEs, please see “Note 9: Receivables.”
The following table presents certain assets and liabilities of consolidated VIEs, which are included in the consolidated balance sheets included in this report. The assets in the table below include those assets that can only be used to settle obligations of the consolidated VIEs. The liabilities in the table below include third-party liabilities of the consolidated VIEs for which creditors do not have recourse to the general credit of the Company (in millions of dollars).

5. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.
Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised into common stock. Stock options, restricted stock units and performance stock units are considered dilutive securities.
A reconciliation of basic and diluted earnings per share is as follows (in millions of dollars and shares, except per share amounts): | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023(1) | | 2024 | | 2023(1) |
Basic EPS attributable to common shareholders | | | | | | | |
Net income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. | $ | 306 | | | $ | 537 | | | $ | 1,073 | | | $ | 1,693 | |
Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic | 1,251 | | | 1,332 | | | 1,255 | | | 1,337 | |
Basic earnings (loss) per share | $ | 0.24 | | | $ | 0.40 | | | $ | 0.85 | | | $ | 1.27 | |

(1) See Note 20 Immaterial Revision of Prior Period Financial Statements.
(2) For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, 118,000 and 26,000 shares, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to an anti-dilutive impact. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, no shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share as all shares were dilutive.
6. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
The following table summarizes the components of net periodic benefit cost of CNH’s defined benefit pension plans and postretirement health and life insurance plans for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions of dollars):

In 2021, CNH communicated plan changes for the U.S. retiree medical plan. The plan changes resulted in a reduction of the plan liability of $100 million. This amount will be amortized from other comprehensive income to the income statement over approximately 4 years, which represents the average service period to attain eligibility conditions for active participants. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, $6 million and $18 million of amortization was recorded as a pre-tax gain in Other, net, respectively.
7. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 20.8% and 25.8%, respectively. The reduction in the 2024 effective tax rate was due to the impact of the company's income mix, including the existence of credits and other permanent benefits, as well as by discrete items, including the impact of highly-inflationary accounting and tax-related inflation adjustments in Argentina and the one-time impact of a patent box tax deduction in the UK.
The effective tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 20.3% and 25.2%. respectively. The reduction in the 2024 effective tax rate was due to the impact of discrete items, including the impact of highly-inflationary accounting and tax-related inflation adjustments in Argentina. The 2023 effective tax rate was reduced by the tax benefits related to the sale of CNH Industrial Russia, although these benefits were partially offset by discrete tax expenses associated with prior periods.
The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (the “OECD”) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (“Pillar Two”) that has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 countries. The Company has determined that Pillar Two legislation has been enacted in one or more jurisdictions in which it operates and that the Company is within the scope of the legislation. The Company has assessed such enacted Pillar Two legislation and related transitional safe harbor provisions and concluded that the tax impacts of the legislation are not material to the Company’s financial results.
8. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The operating segments through which the Company manages its operations are based on the internal reporting used by the Company’s 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 the Company.
CNH has three 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, combines, grape and sugar cane harvesters, hay and forage equipment, planting and seeding equipment, soil preparation and cultivation implements, and material handling equipment. We are also a leading provider of technology dedicated to Precision Agriculture. Agricultural equipment is sold under the New Holland Agriculture and Case IH brands. Regionally focused brands include: STEYR, for agricultural tractors; Flexi-Coil, specializing in tillage and seeding systems; Miller, manufacturing application equipment. The Raven brand supports Precision Agriculture, digital technology and the development of autonomous systems. Hemisphere, acquired in 2023, provides high-performance satellite positioning technology for the agriculture and construction industries.
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 along with a wide variety of attachments. Construction equipment is sold under the CASE Construction Equipment, New Holland Construction and Eurocomach brands.
Financial Services provides and administers financing to end-use customers for the purchase of new and used agricultural and construction equipment and components sold through CNH's dealer network, as well as revolving charge account financing and other financial services. Financial Services also provides wholesale financing to CNH dealers and distributors primarily to finance inventories of equipment for those dealers. Further, Financial Services provides trade receivables factoring services to CNH subsidiaries. The European Financial Services operations are supported by the Iveco Group's Financial Services segment. Financial Services also provides financial services to Iveco Group companies in the North America, South America and Asia Pacific regions.
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.
With reference to the Agriculture and Construction segments, the CODM assesses segment performance and makes decisions about resource allocation based upon Adjusted EBIT. The Company believes Adjusted EBIT more fully reflects Agriculture and Construction segments profitability. Adjusted EBIT of the Agriculture and Construction segments is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes, Financial Services' results, Industrial Activities’ segments 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 rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of ongoing 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 includes the reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT for Industrial Activities segments to net income, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (in millions of dollars):

(2) In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, this item includes the pre-tax gain of $6 million and $18 million, respectively, as a result of the amortization over the 4 years of the $101 million positive impact from the 2021 U.S. healthcare plan modification.
(3) In the three months ended September 30, 2024 this item includes a gain of $14 million for a fair value adjustment related to an investment in unconsolidated subsidiary. The nine months ended September 30, 2024 includes loss of $15 million on the sale of certain non-core product lines and a gain of $14 million for a fair value adjustment related to an investment in unconsolidated subsidiary. In the three months ended September 30, 2023 this item did not include any discrete items. The nine months ended September 30, 2023 included a $23 million loss on the sale of CNH Industrial Russia, partially offset by a gain of $13 million in relation to the fair value remeasurement of Augmenta and Bennamann.
9. RECEIVABLES
Financing Receivables, net
A summary of financing receivables as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows (in millions of dollars):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Retail | $ | 14,368 | | | $ | 13,868 | |
Wholesale | 9,657 | | | 10,334 | |
Other | 37 | | | 47 | |
Total | $ | 24,062 | | | $ | 24,249 | |
CNH provides and administers retail note and lease financing to end-use customers for the purchase of new and used equipment and components sold through its dealer network, as well as revolving charge account financing. The terms of retail notes and finance leases generally range from two to seven years, and interest rates vary depending on the prevailing market interest rates and certain incentive programs offered on behalf of and sustained by Industrial Activities. Revolving charge accounts are generally accompanied by higher interest rates than the Company's other retail financing products, require minimum monthly payments and do not have pre-determined maturity dates.
Wholesale receivables arise primarily from dealer floorplan financing, 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. Financial Services is compensated by Industrial Activities for providing the "interest-free" period based on market interest rates. After the expiration of any "interest-free"
period, interest is charged to dealers on outstanding balances until CNH 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. The Company evaluates and assesses dealers on an ongoing basis as to their creditworthiness. CNH 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 months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 relating to the termination of dealer contracts.
Transfers of Financial Assets
As part of its overall funding strategy, CNH periodically transfers certain receivables into special purpose entities (“SPE”) as part of its asset-backed securitization ("ABS") programs or into factoring transactions.
SPEs utilized in the securitization programs differ from other entities included in the Company's consolidated financial statements because the assets they hold are legally isolated from the Company's assets. For bankruptcy analysis purposes, the Company has sold the receivables to the SPEs in a true sale and the SPEs are separate legal entities. Upon transfer of the receivables to the SPEs, the receivables and certain cash flows derived from them become restricted for use in meeting obligations to the SPEs' creditors. The SPEs have ownership of cash balances that also have restrictions for the benefit of the SPEs' investors. The Company's interests in the SPEs' receivables are subordinate to the interests of third-party investors. None of the receivables that are directly or indirectly sold or transferred in any of these transactions are available to pay the Company's creditors until all obligations of the SPE have been fulfilled or the receivables are removed from the SPE.
Certain securitization trusts are also VIEs and consequently, the VIEs are consolidated since the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs.
The Company may retain all or a portion of the subordinated interests in the SPEs. No recourse provisions exist that allow holders of the asset-backed securities issued by the trusts to put those securities back to the Company, although the Company provides customary representations and warranties that could give rise to an obligation to repurchase from the trusts any receivables for which there is a breach of the representations and warranties. Moreover, the Company does not guarantee any securities issued by the trusts. The trusts have a limited life and generally terminate upon final distribution of amounts owed to investors or upon exercise of a cleanup-call option by the Company, in its role as servicer.
Factoring transactions may be either with recourse or without recourse; certain without recourse transfers include deferred payment clauses (i.e., 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 qualify for the derecognition of the assets, since the risks and rewards connected with collection are not substantially transferred and, accordingly, CNH continues to recognize the receivable transferred by this means in its consolidated statement of financial position and recognizes a financial liability of the same amount under asset-backed financing.
The secured borrowings related to the transferred receivables are obligations that are payable as the receivables are collected. At September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of such restricted assets included in financing receivables are the following (in millions of dollars):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Retail | $ | 8,533 | | | $ | 7,707 | |

At September 30, 2024, the allowance for credit losses included an increase in retail reserves due to specific reserve needs mainly in South America due to Brazilian market conditions, primarily related to current crop prices, flooding and drought events. At September 30, 2023, the allowance for credit losses included an increase in reserves due to specific reserve needs primarily in South America, partially offset by a decrease in reserves of $15 million due to the sale of CNH Capital Russia. CNH will update the macroeconomic factors in future periods, as warranted. The provision for credit losses is included in selling, general and administrative expenses.
CNH assesses and monitors the credit quality of its financing receivables based on delinquency status. Receivables are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not yet been received as of the date such payments were due. Delinquency is reported on financing receivables greater than 30 days past due. Non-performing financing receivables represent receivables for which CNH has ceased accruing finance income. These receivables are generally 90 days past due. Accrued interest is charged-off to interest income. Interest income charged-off was not material for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Interest accrual is resumed if the receivable becomes contractually current and collection becomes probable. Previously suspended income is recognized at that time. As the terms for retail financing receivables are greater than one year, the performing/nonperforming information is presented by year of origination for North America, South America and Asia Pacific.
The aging of financing receivables and charge offs by vintage as of September 30, 2024 is as follows (in millions of dollars, net of allowance for credit losses):

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. TDR's typically result in payment deferrals, extended contract maturities, modification of a contractual interest rate or waiving of interest and principal. As a collateral based lender, CNH has recourse to the financed assets on default. As such, for retail receivables, concessions are typically provided based on bankruptcy court proceedings.
As of September 30, 2024 and 2023, CNH's retail and wholesale TDRs were immaterial.
Given conditions in the Brazilian market, primarily related to current crop prices, flooding and drought events, CNH has been offering payment refinancing to South American customers, that it does not consider to be in financial difficulty. Customers are required to make partial payments on refinanced installments and CNH considers such modifications when
provisioning for credit losses. As of September 30, 2024, $103 million of installments were refinanced relating to $393 million of retail Agricultural receivables in South America.
10. INVENTORIES
Inventories as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consist of the following (in millions of dollars):

11. LEASES
Lessee
The Company's leases are primarily operating lease contracts for buildings, plant and machinery, vehicles, information technology ("IT") equipment and machinery.
Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet. For these leases the Company recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, lease expenses of $1 million and $1 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $4 million and $4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
The Company incurred operating lease expenses of $27 million and $25 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $78 million and $64 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
At September 30, 2024, the Company has recorded approximately $295 million of right-of-use assets and $302 million of related lease liability included in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively. At September 30, 2024, the weighted average remaining lease term (calculated on the basis of the remaining lease term and the lease liability balance for each lease) and the weighted average discount rate for operating leases were 5.2 years and 4.6%, respectively. At September 30, 2023, the Company has recorded approximately $237 million of right-of-use assets and $241 million of related lease liability included in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively. At September 30, 2023, the weighted average remaining lease term (calculated on the basis of the remaining lease term and the lease liability balance for each lease) and the weighted average discount rate for operating leases were 5.3 years and 4.3%, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, leased assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations were $66 million and $77 million, respectively. The operating cash outflow for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease obligations was $75 million and $61 million as of September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Lessor
The Company, primarily through its Financial Services segment, leases equipment to retail customers under operating leases. Our leases typically have terms of 3 to 5 years with options available for the lessee to purchase the equipment at the lease term date. Revenue for non-lease components is accounted for separately.
12. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES AND AFFILIATES
A summary of investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 is as follows (in millions of dollars):
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023(1) |

13. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES
Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 were as follows (in millions of dollars):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Agriculture | | Construction | | Financial Services | | Total |

Balance at September 30, 2024 | $ | 3,427 | | | $ | 48 | | | $ | 140 | | | $ | 3,615 | |
Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurred that would indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than book value. CNH performed its most recent annual impairment review as of December 31, 2023 and concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill for any of the reporting entities.
The acquisition of Hemisphere during the fourth quarter of 2023 led to an increase in goodwill for Agriculture of $111 million. Goodwill related to the acquisition was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. During the first and second quarters of 2024 measurement period adjustments were recorded which decreased goodwill by $3 million. The valuation of assets and liabilities assumed was not finalized as of September 30, 2024. Thus, goodwill associated with this acquisition is subject to adjustment during the measurement period.
The first quarter 2023 acquisitions of Augmenta and Bennamann resulted in an increase in goodwill, post all measurement period adjustments, for Agriculture of $62 million and $115 million, respectively. Goodwill related to the acquisitions was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized and represents the future economic benefits arising from the other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized as of March 2024.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s other intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following (in millions of dollars):

During the fourth quarter of 2023, the Company recorded $51 million in intangible assets based on the preliminary valuation for Hemisphere. During the first and second quarters of 2024, a measurement period adjustment was recorded which increased intangible assets by $6 million. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not been finalized as of September 30, 2024. Thus, intangibles associated with the acquisition is subject to adjustment during the measurement period.
During the first quarter of 2023, the acquisition of Augmenta and Bennamann resulted in an increase in intangible assets, post all measurement period adjustments, of $47 million and $51 million, respectively. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was finalized as of March 2024.
CNH recorded amortization expense of $48 million and $43 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $139 million and $119 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
14. SUPPLY CHAIN FINANCE PROGRAMS
Under the supply chain finance ("SCF") 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. No guarantees are provided by the Company under the SCF program.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $112 million and $148 million of obligations remain outstanding that we have confirmed as valid to the administrators of the SCF programs. We have no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the SCF program, and we have no direct financial relationship with the financial institutions as it relates to the SCF program. These balances are included within “Accounts payable” in our consolidated balance sheets and are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows when settled.

Restructuring Expenses
The Company incurred restructuring expenses of $12 million and $5 million during the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $94 million and $8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, primarily due to employee separation costs. The Company’s restructuring program announced in November 2023 targets both labor and non-labor SG&A expenses. The Company has incurred a total of $124 million from launch to September 30, 2024 under this program.
16. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
As a global company with a diverse business portfolio, CNH 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 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’s financial position and results. When it is probable that such a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, such amounts are provided for in Company's income statement and the related accrual is recorded in “Other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets.
Although the ultimate outcome of legal matters pending against CNH and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted, CNH 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 consolidated financial statements.
Environmental
Pursuant to the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), which imposes strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several liability for remediation and liability for natural resource damages, and other federal and state laws that impose similar liabilities, CNH has received inquiries for information or notices of its potential liability regarding 66 non-owned U.S. sites at which regulated materials allegedly generated by CNH were released or disposed (“Waste Sites”). Of the Waste Sites, 16 are on the National Priority List (“NPL”) promulgated pursuant to CERCLA. For 60 of the Waste Sites, the monetary amount or extent of the Company’s liability has either been resolved, it has not been named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”), or its liability is likely de minimis.
Because estimates of remediation costs are subject to revision as more information becomes available about the extent and cost of remediation and settlement agreements can be reopened under certain circumstances, the Company’s potential liability for remediation costs associated with the 66 Waste Sites could change. Moreover, because liability under CERCLA and similar laws can be joint and several, CNH could be required to pay amounts in excess of its pro rata share of remediation costs. However, when appropriate, the financial strength of other PRPs has been considered in the determination of the Company’s potential liability. CNH believes that the costs associated with the Waste Sites will not have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial position, or results of operations.
The Company is conducting environmental investigatory or remedial activities at certain properties that are currently or were formerly owned and/or operated or that are being decommissioned. The Company believes that the outcome of these activities will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, or results of operations.
The actual costs for environmental matters could differ materially from those costs currently anticipated due to the nature of historical handling and disposal of hazardous substances typical of manufacturing and related operations, the discovery of currently unknown conditions and as a result of more aggressive enforcement by regulatory authorities and changes in existing laws and regulations. As in the past, CNH plans to continue funding its costs of environmental compliance from operating cash flows.
Investigation, analysis and remediation of environmental sites is a time-consuming activity. The Company expects such costs to be incurred and claims to be resolved over an extended period of time that could exceed 30 years for some sites. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, environmental reserves of approximately $22 million and $20 million, respectively, were established to address these specific estimated potential liabilities. Such reserves are undiscounted and do not include anticipated recoveries, if any, from insurance companies. After considering these reserves, management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.
Other Litigation and Investigations
Iveco Follow-on Damages Claims: in 2011 Iveco S.p.A. (“Iveco”), which, following the Demerger, is now part of Iveco Group N.V., 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 Medium and Heavy trucks. On July 19, 2016, the Commission announced a settlement with Iveco (the “Decision”). Following the Decision, the Company, Iveco and Iveco Magirus AG (“IMAG”) have been named as defendants in proceedings across Europe. The consummation of the Demerger will not allow CNH to be excluded from current and future follow-on
proceedings originating from the Decision because under EU competition law a company cannot use corporate reorganizations to avoid liability for private damage claims. In the event one or more of these judicial proceedings would result in a decision against CNH ordering it to compensate such claimants as a result of the conduct that was the subject matter of the Decision, and Iveco and IMAG do not comply with such decisions, as a result of various intercompany arrangements, then CNH will ultimately have recourse against Iveco and IMAG for the reimbursement of the damages effectively paid to such claimants. The extent and outcome of these claims cannot be predicted at this time. The Company believes that the risk of either Iveco or IMAG or Iveco Group defaulting on potential payment obligations arising from such follow-up on damage claims is remote.
FPT Emissions Investigation: on July 22, 2020, a number of the Company's (pre-Demerger) 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., which is a wholly-controlled subsidiary Iveco Group N.V. The Italian criminal investigation was dismissed in 2023. As a result of FPT Industrial's full cooperation and ongoing discussions with the investigative authorities, all German criminal investigation were concluded in December 2023. In certain instances CNH and other third parties have also received various requests for compensation by German and Austrian customers on various contractual and tort grounds, including requests for damages resulting from the termination of the purchase contracts, or in the form of requests for an alleged lower residual value of their vehicles as a consequence of the alleged non-compliance with other approval regulations regarding emissions. In certain instances, other customers have brought judicial claims on the same legal and factual bases. While the Company had no role in the design and sale of such engine models and vehicles, the Company cannot predict at this time the extent and outcome of these requests and directly or indirectly related legal proceedings, including customer claims or potential class actions alleging emissions non-compliance. The Company believes that the risk of either FPT Industrial or Iveco Group N.V. defaulting on potential payment obligations arising from such proceedings is remote.
SEC Subpoenas: The Company has been responding to subpoenas issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission requesting information and documents relating to our revenue recognition and sales practices. The Company is cooperating with the SEC’s inquiry and continues to provide responsive documents and information. The Company is unable to predict with certainty what action, if any, might be taken in the future by the SEC or any other governmental authority as a result of these requests.
Guarantees
CNH provided guarantees on the debt or commitments of third parties and performance guarantees on non-consolidated affiliates as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 totaling of $33 million and $37 million, respectively.
17. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
CNH may elect to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This fair value option would be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election can be made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability or firm commitment or, when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not be revoked once made. CNH has not elected the fair value measurement option for eligible items.
Fair Value Hierarchy
The hierarchy of valuation techniques for financial instruments is based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair value hierarchy:
Level 1 - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 - Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.
Determination of Fair Value
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In some cases where a market price is not available, the Company will use observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the items are classified in Level 2.
If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates, currency rates, or yield curves. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models, and the key inputs to those models as well as any significant assumptions.
Derivatives
CNH utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency exposures. CNH designates derivatives that are effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged as accounting hedges at the inception of the contract and 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. The cash flows underlying all derivative contracts were recorded in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Foreign Exchange Derivatives
CNH 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 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. 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 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 “Other, net” and are expected to offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the exposures being managed.
All of CNH’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’s foreign exchange derivatives was $7.3 billion and $6.1 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Interest Rate Derivatives
CNH 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 the Company 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 are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in interest expense over the period in which CNH recognizes interest expense on the related debt.
Interest rate derivatives that have been designated as fair value hedge relationships have been used by CNH 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 “Interest expense” in the period in which they occur and an offsetting gain or loss is also reflected in “Interest expense” based on changes in the fair value of the debt instrument being hedged due to changes in floating interest rate benchmarks.
CNH 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’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 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.
All of CNH’s interest rate derivatives outstanding as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 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’s interest rate derivatives was approximately $9.2 billion and $9.0 billion at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
As a result of the reform and replacement of specific benchmark interest rates, in the second quarter of 2023, the Company elected to make the replacement using the optional expedient under ASC 848, which allows the change in critical terms without de-designation and the Company also elected the optional expedient to apply a spread adjustment to hedged items cash flows that resulted in no change to the cumulative basis adjustment reflected in earnings.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNH” or the “Company”) is incorporated in, and under the laws of the Netherlands. CNH has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its principal office in Basildon, England, United Kingdom. Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, the terms “CNH” and the “Company” refer to CNH and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company has three reportable segments reflecting the three businesses directly managed by CNH Industrial N.V., consisting of: (i) Agriculture, which designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment (ii) Construction, which designs, produces and sells construction equipment, and (iii) Financial Services, which provides financial services to customers acquiring our products. The Company’s worldwide Agriculture and Construction operations, as well as corporate functions, are collectively referred to as “Industrial Activities.”
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our unaudited consolidated financial statements and the notes to our unaudited consolidated financial statements in this report, as well as our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 ("2023 Annual Report") filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year due to seasonal and other factors.
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.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
CNH monitors its operations through the use of non-GAAP financial measures. CNH’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding its operating results and enhance the readers’ ability to assess CNH’s financial performance and financial position. Management uses these non-GAAP 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 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 U.S. GAAP.
Our primary non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:
Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities
Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities 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. Such non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of ongoing operational activities.
Net Cash (Debt) and Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities
Net Cash (Debt) 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. CNH provides the reconciliation of Net Cash (Debt) to Total (Debt), which is the most directly comparable measure included in the consolidated balance sheets. 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.
Revenues on a Constant Currency Basis
We discuss the fluctuations in revenues on a constant currency basis by applying the prior-year average exchange rates to current year’s revenue expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange (“FX”) rate fluctuations.
A. OPERATING RESULTS
The operations and key financial measures and financial analysis differ significantly for manufacturing and distribution businesses and financial services businesses; therefore, management believes that certain supplemental disclosures are important in understanding our consolidated operations and financial results. For further information, see “Supplemental Information” within this section, where we present supplemental consolidating data split by Industrial Activities and Financial Services. Transactions between Industrial Activities and Financial Services have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated data.
Global Business Conditions
In combination with the downturn in our industry cycle, lower commodity prices, changes in government policies, higher interest rates and repercussions from geopolitical events, the global economy continues to experience events affecting our suppliers, customers and business operations. As a consequence of the industry downturn, and the resulting increase in dealer inventories of our products, the Company expects production volumes to decline for the rest of 2024 due to lower demand. Given these conditions, we expect manufacturing inefficiencies and lower fixed cost absorption.
For a discussion of the Company’s risks and uncertainties, see Part 1, Item 1A: Risk Factors in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Part II, Item 1A: Risk Factors within this Form 10-Q.

Revenues
We recorded revenues of $4,654 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decline of 22.3% (down 20.9% on a constant currency basis) compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net sales were $3,997 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 25.0% (down 24.0% on a constant currency basis) compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This decline was primarily due to lower shipment volumes on decreased industry demand and reduced dealer inventory requirements.
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold was $3,130 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared with $4,059 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. As a percentage of net sales of Industrial Activities, cost of goods sold was 78.3% in the three months ended September 30, 2024 (76.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2023), which was impacted by lower production volume and unfavorable mix, partially offset by improved purchasing and manufacturing costs.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
Selling, general and administrative expenses were $426 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 (9.2% of total revenues), down $36 million compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 (7.7% of total revenues). Total expenses were lower primarily due to a decrease in labor costs, driven by the Company's restructuring program, partially offset by higher credit risk provisions in the Financial Services segment.
Research and Development Expenses
Research and development expenses were $221 million and $266 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Restructuring Expenses
Restructuring expenses were $12 million and $5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Company’s restructuring program announced in November 2023 targets both labor and non-labor SG&A expenses. The Company has incurred a total of $124 million from launch to September 30, 2024 under this program which is substantially complete.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $378 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to $346 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The interest expense attributable to Industrial Activities for the three months ended September 30, 2024, net of interest income and eliminations, was $36 million, compared to $10 million in the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Other, net
Other, net expenses were $127 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and included a gain of $14 million for a fair value adjustment related to an investment in unconsolidated subsidiary and a pre-tax gain of $6 million ($5 million after-tax) as a result of the amortization over four years of the $101 million positive impact from the 2021 U.S. healthcare plan modification.
Other, net expenses were $186 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and included a pre-tax gain of $6 million ($5 million after-tax) as a result of the amortization over 4 years of the $101 million positive impact from the 2021 U.S. healthcare plan modification.

Income tax expense for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $75 million compared to $171 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 20.8% and 25.8%, respectively. The reduction in the 2024 effective tax rate was due to the impact of the company's income mix, including the existence of credits and other permanent benefits, as well as by discrete items, including the impact of highly-inflationary accounting and tax-related inflation adjustments in Argentina and the one-time impact of a patent box tax deduction in the UK.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and Affiliates
Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates was $25 million and $49 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Net Income
Net income was $310 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income of $540 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2024 included a gain of $14 million for a fair value adjustment related to an investment in unconsolidated subsidiary and a pre-tax gain of $6 million ($5 million after-tax) as a result of the amortization over 4 years of the $101 million positive impact from the 2021 U.S. healthcare plan modification, partially offset by restructuring expenses of $12 million.
Net income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 included a pre-tax gain of $6 million ($5 million after-tax) as a result of the amortization over four years of the $101 million positive impact from the 2021 U.S. healthcare plan modification, partially offset by restructuring expenses of $5 million.

B. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
See our critical accounting estimates discussed in Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition—Critical Accounting Estimates of our 2023 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to these estimates.
C. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The following discussion of liquidity and capital resources principally focuses on our consolidated statement of cash flows and our consolidated statement of financial position. Our operations are capital intensive and subject to seasonal variations in financing requirements for dealer receivables and dealer and company inventories. Whenever necessary, funds from operating activities are supplemented from external sources. CNH focuses on cash preservation and leveraging its good access to funding in order to maintain solid financial strength and liquidity.
Cash Flow Analysis
At September 30, 2024, Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash were $2,450 million, a decrease of $2,595 million from $5,045 million at December 31, 2023, primarily due to operating activity cash absorption, the share buyback program, dividends paid, receivable portfolio absorption, and investments in fixed assets, partially offset by an increase in external borrowing to support working capital requirements.
At September 30, 2024, Cash and cash equivalents were $1,801 million ($4,322 million at December 31, 2023) and Restricted cash was $649 million ($723 million at December 31, 2023), respectively. Undrawn medium-term unsecured committed facilities were $5,215 million ($5,945 million at December 31, 2023). At September 30, 2024, the aggregate of Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, undrawn medium-term unsecured committed facilities, and net financial receivables from Iveco Group which we consider to constitute our principal liquid assets (or "available liquidity"), totaled $7,891 million ($11,224 million at December 31, 2023). At September 30, 2024, this amount also included $226 million net financial receivables from Iveco Group ($234 million net financial receivables at December 31, 2023) consisting of net financial receivables mainly towards Financial Services of Iveco Group.
Net Cash from Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 totaled $276 million and primarily comprised the following elements:
▪$1,083 million net income;

▪less change in working capital of $1,534 million.
In the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $608 million primarily as a result of $3,121 million change in working capital and $319 million change in deferred income taxes, partially offset by $1,704 million in net income, $618 million change in provisions, $416 million in non-cash charges for depreciation and amortization.
Net Cash from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $1,777 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and was primarily due to net additions to retail receivables ($1,077 million), expenditures for assets under operating leases ($381 million), and expenditures for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, excluding assets under operating lease ($330 million).

Net Cash from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities was $996 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and was primarily due to the shares buyback program and dividends paid, partially offset by $293 million increase in external borrowings to support working capital requirements.

(1) Total (Debt) of Industrial Activities includes Intersegment notes payable to Financial Services of $263 million and $301 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Total (Debt) of Financial Services includes Intersegment notes payable to Industrial Activities of $393 million and $527 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
(2) This item includes short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties.
(3) The net intersegment receivable/(payable) balance recorded by Financial Services relating to Industrial Activities was $(130) million and $(226) million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
Excluding positive exchange rate differences of $302 million, Net Debt at September 30, 2024 increased by $2,840 million compared to December 31, 2023, mainly reflected by net operating cash flow from Industrial Activities of $(885) million, investments in property, plant, & equipment, intangibles, and operating lease assets from industrial activities of $(356) million, the increase in portfolio receivables of Financial Services of $340 million, and the cash out of $1,289 million related to the share buyback program and dividends paid.
Available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $5.2 billion at September 30, 2024 ($5.9 billion at December 31, 2023). Total committed secured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $3.6 billion at September 30, 2024 ($3.7 billion at December 31, 2023), of which $1.3 billion was available at September 30, 2024 ($3.7 billion at December 31, 2023 was utilized).
With the liquidity position at the end of September 2024 and the demonstrated access to the financial markets, CNH 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.
In April 2024, the Company terminated its five-year committed revolving credit facility dated March 18, 2019 (as amended and restated on December 10, 2021) and entered into a new five-year committed revolving credit facility for €3.25 billion, with a Company option to increase the principal amount by up to an additional €500 million on the terms set forth in the credit facility. The credit facility is due to mature in 2029 or such later date as may be extended pursuant to the two extension options of 1-year each which are available to the Company on the terms set forth in the credit facility.
The credit facility contains customary covenants (including a negative pledge, a status (or pari passu) covenant and restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness by certain subsidiaries) and customary events of default, some of which are subject to minimum thresholds and customary mitigants (including cross acceleration provisions, failure to pay amounts due or to comply with certain provisions under the loan agreement and the occurrence of certain bankruptcy-related events) and mandatory prepayment obligations upon a change in control of the Company.
In June 2024, CNH Industrial N.V. issued Euro 750 million of 3.75% notes due June 11, 2031 with an issue price of 99.168% of their principal amount.

SAFE HARBOR STATEMENT
This Quarterly Report includes "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this filing, including competitive strengths; business strategy; future financial position or operating results; budgets; projections with respect to revenue, income, earnings (or loss) per share, capital expenditures, dividends, liquidity, capital structure or other financial items; costs; and plans and objectives of management regarding operations and products, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements also include statements regarding the future performance of CNH and its subsidiaries on a standalone basis. These statements may include terminology such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “could”, “should”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “outlook”, “continue”, “remain”, “on track”, “design”, “target”, “objective”, “goal”, “forecast”, “projection”, “prospects”, “plan”, or similar terminology. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Rather, they are based on current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are outside our control and are difficult to predict. If any of these risks and uncertainties materialize (or they occur with a degree of severity that the Company is unable to predict) or other assumptions underlying any of the forward-looking statements prove to be incorrect, including any assumptions regarding strategic plans, the actual results or developments may differ materially from any future results or developments expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements.
Factors, risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include, among others: economic conditions in each of our markets, including the significant uncertainty caused by geopolitical events; production and supply chain disruptions, including industry capacity constraints, material availability, and global logistics delays and constraints; the many interrelated factors that affect consumer confidence and worldwide demand for capital goods and capital goods-related products, changes in government policies regarding banking, monetary and fiscal policy; legislation, particularly pertaining to capital goods-related issues such as agriculture, the environment, debt relief and subsidy program policies, trade and commerce and infrastructure development; government policies on international trade and investment, including sanctions, import quotas, capital controls and tariffs; volatility in international trade caused by the imposition of tariffs, sanctions, embargoes, and trade wars; actions of competitors in the various industries in which we compete; development and use of new technologies and technological difficulties; the interpretation of, or adoption of new, compliance requirements with respect to engine emissions, safety or other aspects of our products; labor relations; interest rates and currency exchange rates; inflation and deflation; energy prices; prices for agricultural commodities and material price increases; housing starts and other construction activity; our ability to obtain financing or to refinance existing debt; price pressure on new and used equipment; the resolution of pending litigation and investigations on a wide range of topics, including dealer and supplier litigation, intellectual property rights disputes, product warranty and defective product claims, and emissions and/or fuel economy regulatory and contractual issues; security breaches, cybersecurity attacks, technology failures, and other disruptions to the information technology infrastructure of CNH and its suppliers and dealers; security breaches with respect to our products; our pension plans and other post-employment obligations; political and civil unrest; volatility and deterioration of capital and financial markets, including pandemics (such as the COVID-19 pandemic), terrorist attacks in Europe and elsewhere; the remediation of a material weakness; our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from our business initiatives as part of our strategic plan; including targeted restructuring actions to optimize our cost structure and improve the efficiency of our operations; our failure to realize, or a delay in realizing, all of the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances or divestitures and other similar risks and uncertainties, and our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing.
Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions relating to the factors described in this filing, which are sometimes based upon estimates and data received from third parties. Such estimates and data are often revised. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside CNH’s control. CNH expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to provide, update or revise any forward-looking statements in this announcement to reflect any change in expectations or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which these forward-looking statements are based.
Further information concerning CNH, including factors that potentially could materially affect its financial results, is included in the Company’s reports and filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC").
All future written and oral forward-looking statements by CNH or persons acting on the behalf of CNH are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained herein or referred to above.
Additional factors could cause actual results to differ from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements included in the Company’s filings with the SEC (including, but not limited to, the factors discussed in our 2023 Annual Report and subsequent quarterly reports).
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See Part II, Item 7A of our 2023 Annual Report. There has been no material change in this information.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a‑15(e) and 15d‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2024, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2024.
Previously Identified Material Weakness in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report. management identified control deficiencies related to the design and implementation of information technology (IT) general controls in the areas of user access limits and segregation of duties related to multiple enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications that resulted in a material weakness.
Management's Remediation of the Previously Identified Material Weakness
In response to the identified material weakness, we, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, took actions to remediate the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting. Such remediation actions included the design, implementation, and testing of the following new and updated controls, processes and procedures:
1.We enhanced our IT general controls framework that addresses risks associated with user access and security, application change management and IT operations.
a.Management performed review of all users with privileged access, validated as appropriate and corrected user access when inappropriate.
b.Management performed look-back review of actions taken by users identified with inappropriate access to assure no actions were taken by the user that would be deemed inappropriate.
c.Designed a new control to review privileged access as a continuous monitoring procedure.
d.Management has redesigned and enhanced controls around the usage and monitoring of the firecall accounts.
2.We implemented compensating controls and provided focused training for control owners to help sustain effective control operations relating to segregation of duties to strengthen user access controls and security.
As a result of the remediation activities and implementation of the new controls described above, we have remediated the material weakness as of September 30, 2024.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
As described above, the Company has taken steps to remediate the material weakness noted above. Other than in connection with these remediation steps, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended September 30, 2024, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to
the costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
See “Note 16: Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
There have been no material changes from the risk factors previously disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K (Part I, Item 1A). The risks described in our 2023 Annual Report, and in the "Safe Harbor Statement" within this report are not the only risks faced by us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known, or that are currently judged to be immaterial, may also materially affect our business, financial condition or operating results.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
In February 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized a $500 million share buyback program under which the Company may repurchase its common shares in the open market or through privately negotiated or other transactions, including at the Company’s election trading plans under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 depending on share price, market conditions and other factors.
