Record consolidated revenues of $6,082 million (up 17.5% compared to Q2 2021 for continuing operations, up 20% at constant currency)
Net income of $552 million, Adjusted Net Income of $583 million, with adjusted diluted EPS of $0.43
Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities of $654 million (up $82 million compared to Q2 2021)
Free cash flow generation of $404 million (Industrial Activities)
Board approved additional $300 million share buy-back program
Financial results presented under U.S. GAAP
“Our robust second quarter results highlighted the CNH Industrial team’s focus on execution, as they excelled in both tactically ensuring we continued to meet customer commitments and making notable progress on our strategic initiatives. These considerations and strong price realization contributed to our impressive sales and adjusted diluted EPS growth, up 17.5% and 16.2% respectively. Pricing, volumes, and favorable mix offset significant cost escalation and gross profit increased $174 million year over year. Component shortages again impacted production, resulting in Free Cash Flow of $404 million which, though a tremendous sequential improvement, was still down almost 50% versus Q2 2021. Despite this, we continue to expect to deliver more than $1 billion of free cash flow for 2022.
Looking forward, we have exciting new products to unveil at the upcoming trade shows and our Tech Day late in the year. Raven and our Precision team are making great strides and helping to drive Agriculture’s growth, and Construction Equipment, bolstered by Sampierana, is significantly increasing its profitability. With this ever-stronger foundation, we expect to meet our Full Year guidance, but anticipate a decidedly less advantageous climate for the next several quarters. The strengthening US dollar is impacting soft commodity prices, risking further deterioration in farmer sentiment and income, while we see the likelihood of declining European industrial demand due to the war in Ukraine, energy risk and inflation. In the Americas, steady demand from cash crop customers indicates that the market may be more stable, but overall we are positioning for a recession. Our team has proven that, regardless of the environment, they will continue to execute our strategic priorities and deliver for our customers and shareholders.”
Scott W. Wine, Chief Executive Officer

In North America, industry volume was flat for tractors over 140 HP and was down 16% for tractors under 140 HP; combines were up 3%. In Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), tractor and combine demand was down 1% and 24%, respectively, with combine demand up when excluding Turkey and Russia. South America tractor demand was up 4% and combine demand was down 14%. Asia Pacific tractor demand was up 11% and combine demand was up 21%.
Net sales were up 19%, due to favorable price realization and better mix, mostly driven by North America and South America.
Gross profit margin was 23.4%, with Gross Profit $150 million higher than in Q2 2021, mainly due to better mix and favorable price realization primarily in North America and South America, partially offset by higher production and raw material costs across all regions.
Adjusted EBIT was $663 million ($582 million for Q2 2021), with Adjusted EBIT margin at 14.0%. The $81 million increase was driven by higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A costs, and increased R&D spend.
Order book in Agriculture was up almost 5% year over year for tractors. Order book for combines was down almost 6%, with declines in North America and South America offset partially by growth in EMEA. At more than 3 times the pre-pandemic levels, order books remain strong in all regions and key products, with the company accepting orders only through Q1 2023 in most regions as cost uncertainties remain.
Global industry volume for construction equipment decreased in both Heavy and Light sub-segments, with Heavy down 18% and Light down 12%, mostly driven by a 29% decrease in Light and Heavy equipment demand for Asia Pacific, particularly in China. Demand decreased 3% in North America, 3% in EMEA and increased 22% in South America.
Net sales were up 10%, driven by price realization and contribution from the Sampierana business, partially offset by lower volume in all regions except South America.
Gross profit margin was 13.8%, up 1.4% compared to Q2 2021, mainly due to higher volumes and favorable price realization, partially offset by unfavorable fixed costs absorption and higher freight and raw material costs.
Adjusted EBIT increased $10 million due to favorable volume and mix and positive price realization, partially offset by higher freight and raw material costs and increased SG&A spend. Adjusted EBIT margin at 3.8%.
Construction order book up more than 20% year over year in both Heavy and Light sub-segments, with increases in the North America, EMEA and South America regions.
Revenues were up 20% due to higher used equipment sales, higher base rates in South America and higher average portfolios in all regions, partially offset by lower average retail yields in North America.
Net income increased $10 million to $95 million, primarily as a result of higher recoveries on used equipment sales, higher base rates in South America, and higher average portfolios in all regions, offset by increased income taxes and unfavorable risk costs.
The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $21.1 billion as of June 30, 2022 (of which retail was 70% and wholesale 30%), up $0.6 billion compared to June 30, 2021 (up $1.7 billion on a constant currency basis).
The receivable balance greater than 30 days past due as a percentage of receivables was 1.5% (1.5% as of June 30, 2021).
2022 Outlook
The Company is substantially confirming the following 2022 outlook for its Industrial Activities:
Net sales(5) up between 12% and 14% year on year including currency translation effects
SG&A expenses lower or equal to 7.5% of net sales
Free cash flow in excess of $1.0 billion
R&D expenses and capital expenditures at around $1.4 billion
Significant uncertainties remain in all regions, linked to rising inflation, geopolitical instability, the war in Ukraine and continuing COVID-19 infection waves, all these factors may affect our forecast for the year.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
CNH Industrial monitors its operations through the use of several non-GAAP financial measures. CNH Industrial’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 Industrial’s financial performance and financial position. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to identify operational trends, as well as 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 or EU-IFRS 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 and/or EU-IFRS.
CNH Industrial’s non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:
Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes, Financial Services’ results, Industrial Activities’ interest expenses, net, foreign exchange gains/losses, finance and non-service component of pension and other post-employment benefit costs, restructuring expenses, and certain non-recurring items. In particular, non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities.
Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under EU-IFRS: is defined as profit/(loss) before taxes, Financial Services’ results, Industrial Activities’ financial expenses, restructuring costs, and certain non-recurring items.
Adjusted Net Income (Loss): is defined as net income (loss), less restructuring charges and non-recurring items, after tax.
Adjusted Diluted EPS: is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. by a weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period that takes into consideration potential common shares outstanding deriving from the CNH Industrial share-based payment awards, when inclusion is not anti-dilutive. When we provide guidance for adjusted diluted EPS, we do not provide guidance on a earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end.
Adjusted Income Taxes: is defined as income taxes less the tax effect of restructuring expenses and non-recurring items, and non-recurring tax charges or benefits.
Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (Adjusted ETR): is computed by dividing a) adjusted income taxes by b) income (loss) before income taxes and equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, less restructuring expenses and non-recurring items.
Adjusted Gross Profit Margin of Industrial Activities: is computed by dividing Net sales less Cost of goods sold, as adjusted by non-recurring items, by Net sales.
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 Industrial 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.
Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (or Industrial Free Cash Flow): refers to Industrial Activities only, and is computed as consolidated cash flow from operating activities less: cash flow from operating activities of Financial Services; investments of Industrial Activities in assets sold under operating leases, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; change in derivatives hedging debt of Industrial Activities; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.
Available Liquidity: is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash, undrawn medium-term unsecured committed facilities, net receivables/payables with Iveco Group N.V. and other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments in instruments of high-credit rating counterparties).
Change excl. FX or Constant Currency: CNH Industrial discusses the fluctuations in revenues on a constant currency basis by applying the prior year average exchange rates to current year’s revenues expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations
The tables attached to this press release provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
