Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation.
Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework . Based on our assessment, we believe that, as of December 31, 2022 our internal control over financial reporting is effective.
Ernst & Young LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our 2022 consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. The report appears on page 39.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of CNH Industrial N.V.
Opinion on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
We have audited CNH Industrial N.V.’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) (the COSO criteria). In our opinion, CNH Industrial N.V. (the Company) maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on the COSO criteria.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheets of CNH Industrial N.V. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes and our report dated February 28, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Board Practices
CNH Industrial is a company, organized under the laws of the Netherlands, initially formed from a business combination of Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and CNH Global N.V. consummated on September 29, 2013. CNH Industrial qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the applicable rules of the SEC and its common shares are listed on the NYSE and on Euronext Milan.
We are subject to, among other things, the laws of the Netherlands and the laws and regulations applicable to foreign private issuers in the U.S., the Dutch Corporate Governance Code (the “Dutch Code”), the Sarbanes Oxley Act of 2002, the Dodd-Frank Act and the NYSE listing standards, which are of particular significance to our corporate governance. In accordance with the NYSE Listed Company Manual, we are permitted to follow home country practice with regard to certain corporate governance standards. We describe the significant differences between our corporate governance practices and those required (i) under the Dutch Code and (ii) for domestic U.S. listed companies by the NYSE listing standards on our website.
The Board has collective responsibility for the strategy of the Company. During 2022, the Board reviewed and discussed with management, among other things, the Company’s strategy, and the long-term value creation strategies of all of the Company’s individual business segments and their deployment in the regions.
All Board members are expected to attend not less than 75% of all Board and Committee meetings. In addition, Non-Executive Directors are limited to being on not more than four (4) boards of other public companies.
The Board met five times during 2022. The following chart shows the current Board members and their attendance at Board meetings.

Board Composition and Leadership Structure
The positions of Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors are held by two different individuals (Scott W. Wine and Suzanne Heywood, respectively). This structure allows our Chief Executive Officer to focus on our day-to-day business while our Chair provides advice to and oversight of management. The Board of Directors appointed Mr. Léo Houle Senior Non-Executive Director for purposes of best practice provision 5.1.3, and in compliance with best practice provision 2.1.9, of the Dutch Code. The Senior Non-Executive Director is responsible for the proper functioning of the Board of Directors and its Committees.
The non-executive directors believe that in consideration of the size of the Company, the complexity and specific characteristics of the segments in which it operates and the worldwide presence of its business, an adequate and diversified mix of skills, experience and cultures, both general and specific, acquired in an international environment, in relation to the capital goods industry and with respect to general macroeconomics and market globalization issues, as well as the industrial and financial sectors, and other diversity factors (such as gender, race, ethnicity, and country of origin or nationality) are necessary prerequisites to achieve a Board having the appropriate diversification and collegial capabilities, also assured by an appropriate balance between the number of Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors. Independent Directors – identified as such both pursuant to NYSE and DGCG provisions – have an essential role in protecting the interests of all stakeholders and in the proper composition and functioning of the Board Committees, further described below. It is generally recognized that more diverse boards are more effective in performing their monitoring and advisory activities, due to the variety of professional experience, perspectives, insights, skills and connections to the outside world that diversity can add. Accordingly, the Board will continue to actively seek diverse candidates for possible appointment to the Board; though no formal diversity policy was adopted, the Board has in the past and expects to continue to utilize the services of executive search firms to assist in the identification of qualified and diverse candidates for nomination for appointment to the Board.
The Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee periodically assesses the skills, experience and other attributes of the individual Directors with a view toward ensuring an appropriate level of diversity and ensuring the Directors have the necessary
46
expertise to fulfill their respective duties. In 2022, the Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee conducted such an assessment in connection with its evaluation of candidates to be recommended to the Board for nomination of (re)appointment as a Director.
Committees of Our Board of Directors
Our Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee, a Human Capital and Compensation Committee and an Environmental, Social and Governance Committee. Members serve on these committees until their resignation or until otherwise determined by our Board of Directors.
Audit Committee
Our Audit Committee currently consists of Ms. Linehan (Chairperson), Mr. Sørensen and Ms. Tamsons, all of whom are independent, non-executive directors. Under the Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee is elected by the Board of Directors and is comprised of at least three members who may be appointed for terms of up to two years, each of whom must be a non-executive director. Member of the Audit committee may be reappointed. Audit Committee members are also required (i) not to have any material relationship with the Company or to serve as auditors or accountants for the Company, (ii) to be “independent”, under the NYSE rules, Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act and the DCGC, and (iii) to be “financially literate” and have “accounting or selected financial management expertise” (as determined by the Board of Directors). At least one member of the Audit Committee shall be a “financial expert” as defined in the rules of the SEC and best practice provisions of the DCGC. Our Board of Directors has determined that Vagn Sørensen and Åsa Tamsons are audit committee financial experts. No Audit Committee member may serve on more than four audit committees for other public companies, absent a waiver from the Board of Directors. Unless decided otherwise by the Audit Committee, the independent auditors of the Company, as well as the Chief Financial Officer of the Company, attend its meetings.
The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, assisting the Board of Directors’ oversight of: (i) the integrity of the Company’s financial statements, (ii) the Company’s policy on tax planning, (iii) the Company’s financing, (iv) the Company’s application of information and communication technology, (v) the systems of internal controls that management and the Board of Directors have established, (vi) the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (vii) the Company’s compliance with recommendations and observations of internal and external auditors, (viii) the Company’s policies and procedures for addressing certain actual or perceived conflicts of interest, (ix) the independent auditors’ qualifications, independence, remuneration and any non-audit services for the Company, (x) the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and of the independent auditors, (xi) risk management guidelines and policies, and (xii) the implementation and effectiveness of the Company’s ethics and compliance program. The Company has established a separate department for the internal audit function and the head of the internal audit function reports to the Audit Committee, which reviews and approves the annual internal audit plan.
During 2022, the Audit Committee, inter alia, reviewed and discussed the annual and quarterly financial statements (and the independent auditors’ review or audit thereof), the key risks and controls relating to the Company’s information systems, the appropriateness and completeness of the Company's system of internal control, the performance of the Company’s internal audit function, the performance of the Company’s independent public auditors, legal matters facing the Company, and the implementation and effectiveness of the Company's ethics and compliance program.
The Audit Committee met ten times during 2022. The following chart shows the current Audit Committee members and their attendance at Committee meetings.

Year in Review
Performance Highlights
In 2022, CNH Industrial delivered record results, while overcoming supply chain pressures and increased product costs. In its first year as a pure player in Agriculture and Construction, CNH Industrial achieved full year consolidated revenue of $23,551 million (up 20.8% year over year), net income of $2,039 million (up 13.2% year over year), and combined gross profit margins of 22.0% for our Agriculture and Construction businesses.
As importantly, the Company’s focused execution on key strategic priorities under the leadership of Mr. Wine has reaped considerable value for its shareholders, such as:
• The simplification of the Company’s portfolio transformed CNH Industrial in a pure player in the Agriculture and Construction businesses.
• The absolute total shareholder return (“TSR”) for CNH Industrial kept pace with the S&P 500 Industrial index in 2022 and outpaced it over the past three and five years .
• The acquisitions of Raven and Sampierana have broadened our product and services offering, enhancing capabilities in precision agriculture technology for the Agriculture segment and key excavator products for the Construction Equipment segment, respectively.
• CNH Industrial returned nearly $600 million to shareholders in the form of dividends and share repurchases.
Since Mr. Wine joined the company as its CEO in early January 2021, and through December 31, 2022, cumulative TSR reached 48% compared to 5% for the S&P 500 and 14% for the S&P 500 Industrials.

Base Period
Company/Index 2020 2021 2022
CNH Industrial $ 100 $ 153 $ 148
S&P 500 $ 100 $ 129 $ 105
S&P 500 Industrials $ 100 $ 121 $ 114
Note: TSR calculated based on dividend-adjusted closing prices as defined by Bloomberg Professional Services from Jan. 1, 2021 to Dec. 31, 2022.
CNH Industrial has also outperformed both the S&P 500 and S&P 500 Industrial companies across a range of other metrics.
When compared to the S&P 500:
• CNH Industrial’s two-year adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of 86.4% would be ranked 90 th percentile.
• CNH Industrial’s two-year revenue CAGR of 26.2% would be ranked 80 th percentile.
• CNH Industrial’s two-year TSR would be ranked 80th percentile.
• CNH Industrial’s ongoing CEO total target direct compensation would be ranked 70 th percentile.
When compared to the S&P 500 Industrial companies:
• CNH Industrial’s two-year adjusted diluted EPS CAGR would be ranked 90 th percentile.
• CNH Industrial’s two-year revenue CAGR would be ranked 80th percentile.
• CNH Industrial’s two-year TSR CAGR would be ranked 90th percentile.
• CNH Industrial’s CEO ongoing total direct target compensation would be ranked 80th percentile.
When compared to the Compensation Peer Group:
• CNH Industrial’s two-year EPS CAGR is ranked 90th percentile.
• CNH Industrial’s two-year revenue CAGR is ranked 80th percentile.
• CNH Industrial’s two-year TSR CAGR is ranked 80th percentile.
• CNH Industrial’s CEO ongoing total direct target compensation is ranked 76th percentile.
Note: CAGR calculated based on 2022 fiscal year results or estimates vs. 2020 fiscal year results. Financial information for S&P 500 companies based on information available in Bloomberg Professional Services as of February 14, 2023.
The above results, overseen by Mr. Wine and achieved through contributions across our leadership team and Company as a whole, demonstrate the value of the investments made in our talent over recent years and the effectiveness of our NEOs.
Furthermore, Mr. Wine holds 639,119 shares whose value as of December 31, 2022 exceeds the five-times multiple of base salary under his share ownership guidelines which was required within five years of hire, as he personally invested in the Company’s stock to reach the guideline before his second anniversary. The CEO purchased 200,000 shares of the Company’s common shares in 2021 and a further 150,000 shares in 2022 and held 100% of the 289,119 shares that vested in 2022, electing not to sell any shares to cover tax withholding and paying cash instead. Mr. Wine’s investment of his own money in the Company’s stock constitutes a strong testament of the alignment between Mr. Wine’s and the shareholders’ interests, during his tenure. The Company’s stock ownership policy and executive compensation practices ensure that this alignment with shareholders’ interests will continue over time.
Our executive compensation framework is designed to continue to align and promote the alignment of pay and performance to the benefit of our shareholders.
Aligning Pay and Performance
Our business strategy is focused on enhancing our culture, continuously improving our productivity, and relentlessly innovating to drive profitable growth for our customers, employees, shareholders and all stakeholders. CNH Industrial’s compensation program is designed to motivate our employees to execute this strategy.
Under the leadership of Mr. Wine, CNH Industrial’s financial and operational results, including all of the metrics linked to incentive pay, have not only sequentially increased but have also exceeded the challenging 2022 goals validated by both the HCC Committee and the Board of Directors. Based on the Scorecard summarized below and detailed further in the balance of this CD&A, the Company performance payout factor in respect of 2022 performance was 145.89% of target.

(2) Accident Frequency Rate has a declining goal value for maximum payout, so a value lower than target indicates that the achievement level exceeded target.
While no performance-based equity awards vested during fiscal 2022, fiscal 2022 results contribute favorably to the three-year cumulative adjusted EPS, average Industrial ROIC and relative TSR goals attached to PSUs granted in 2021 and 2022.
The NEOs’ remuneration in 2022 was consistent with the Company’s performance and achievement of its strategic objectives. In the Pay versus Performance (“PvP”) section, we elaborate on performance trends for the key metrics and the trends in the CEO compensation and the average of the other NEO’s compensation.
CEO Compensation
Mr. Wine was appointed as CEO of CNH Industrial in 2021, and under his leadership the Company has achieved results that have improved year-over-year, exceeding goals and expectations in a challenging operating environment. At the time of his appointment, the HCC Committee established a market-informed total target compensation package that would remain locked for five years, meaning that regardless of performance there would be no increase in Mr. Wine’s base salary, target annual incentive or target equity incentive grant value. Furthermore, there is no individual performance upside on his bonus payout; in other words, 100% of the bonus payout is exclusively linked to Company performance relative to objective, quantifiable goals. Over 90% of Mr. Wine’s target compensation is variable in nature, whereas 70% of his target compensation is in equity grants that must be held for a minimum of five years following the date of grant, further solidifying long-term shareholder alignment.
52
Mr. Wine’s annual incentive payout is based solely on CNH Industrial’s company performance payout factor, which itself comprises objective quantitative performance goals. Based on the achievements summarized above and detailed further in the CD&A, Mr. Wine earned an annual incentive equivalent to 145.89% of target for 2022.
At the time of his appointment and as disclosed in previous Renumeration Reports, the HCC Committee also approved the necessary cash and equity-based payments to secure Mr. Wine’s appointment. These payments are customary when companies intend to attract high-caliber candidates and are intended to replace the compensation that such candidates would be forfeiting with their prior employers. In the case of Mr. Wine such payments had exactly this rationale and were structured to emphasize performance-based equity. This maximized the immediate alignment of his interests with those of our shareholders, other executives, employees more broadly and all of our stakeholders. To address feedback from our shareholders, we have again included a summary of these payments, with additional detail on the various components. This can be found in the “New Hire” section of the CD&A.
Key HCC Committee Activities
In 2022, the HCC Committee approved adjustments to the 2021-2023 long-term incentive (“LTI”) awards due to the impact of the Demerger. As disclosed in the Company’s 2021 report, an equitable adjustment to the number of outstanding LTI awards was approved given the change in the Company’s capital structure. Additionally, the HCC Committee approved revised performance goals for the outstanding three-year PSUs (2021-2023) to account for the Company’s reduced perimeter of operations. The new goals are disclosed in detail in the Equity Incentives section of the CD&A.
Compensation Design
Compensation Philosophy
CNH Industrial’s vision to sustainably advance the noble work of global agricultural and construction workers is supported by a culture that drives long-term results for all shareholders and stakeholders, including our customers and employees. To effectively deliver on this vision in our large, global and complex company as evidenced through the geographic dispersion of our customers, employees and operations, we need to attract and retain highly qualified leaders who are aligned with the Company’s commitments and are effective operators in intricate multinational matrix organizations. Our compensation philosophy and programs are designed to instill a strong performance culture through pay for performance, rigorous performance management and Company goal-aligned incentives.
Principle How we achieve this at CNH Industrial
Align pay with strategy Compensation is linked to achievement of goals that align with our objectives
Pay for performance Compensation is based on merit, taking into account Company performance, individual performance and promotion of Company values
The majority of the NEOs’ compensation is delivered through short and long-term at-risk elements
Align pay with long-term shareholder value creation Performance goals align with the interests of our shareholders and other stakeholders
LTIs are delivered in CNH Industrial stock, with PSUs subject to a relative TSR modifier
Shareholder ownership guidelines reinforce long-term thinking and a focus on sustainable value creation
Provide competitive compensation opportunities Compensation levels are set to be competitive relative to a clearly defined, comparable, market-reference peer group, that targets a median revenue broadly aligned with CNH Industrial
Encourage prudent risk-taking Incentives are designed to discourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking
Policies (e.g., Compensation Recoupment Policy) encourage long-term thinking and safeguard against high-risk behaviors through claw-back policy
Strategic Alignment
Five priorities underpin CNH Industrial’s strategic roadmap and are reflected across our compensation programs. The measures that we use to determine compensation under our compensation programs, in particular with respect to our annual bonus and PSU awards, seek to align our NEO’s compensation with our commitment to drive results for all of our stakeholders.

Compensation Governance
Role of the HCC Committee
The HCC Committee is comprised of four directors, three of whom are independent, and is responsible for oversight of executive compensation, the Company’s remuneration policy, compensation of non-executive directors, and broader human capital management matters, in accordance with Dutch laws and the DCGC.
In undertaking its role, the HCC Committee has continued interaction with the CEO, Executive Chair and other members of the senior leadership team, including the CHRO and Head of Total Rewards. No individual is present when the HCC Committee considers and discusses matters concerning such individual’s compensation. The Company also engages a compensation consultant, Willis Towers Watson (“WTW”), who routinely provides support to the HCC Committee upon request, across a broad range of compensation matters, inclusive of peer group development, market benchmarking and incentive compensation design. The HCC Committee invites WTW to attend meetings at their discretion.
Shareholder Engagement
An important input in the HCC Committee’s discussions and review of CNH Industrial’s compensation practices are the views of our shareholders.
While a majority of our shareholders are supportive of our approach to executive compensation, as evidenced by the fact that 69.8% of shares advised positively in relation to our remuneration report at our 2022 annual general meeting, a minority of shareholders did not support the application of our remuneration policy in 2021.
To better understand shareholders’ perspectives on our executive compensation programs, in 2022, we engaged with a sizable number of our largest shareholders in conversations on executive compensation, governance and sustainability, who provided valuable insights. The outreach effort was led by Mr. Houle, Chair of the HCC Committee, and included members of our Executive Compensation, Legal and Compliance and Investor Relations teams. The following is what we heard and provided clarity on:
What We Heard CNH Industrial Response
Lack of details regarding the CEO’s go-forward equity grant opportunity as a result of the transition to annual awards We have sought to enhance the clarity of our compensation disclosures in this year’s CD&A
Request for further information regarding the level of the CEO’s compensation and the potential maximum payouts CNH Industrial prides itself on the fact that the majority of NEO compensation is at-risk variable pay (73% for our CEO and an average of 59% for our other NEOs), delivered through annual bonus and PSUs.
The majority of at-risk variable pay is delivered in CNH Industrial equity in the form of PSUs whose value: i) will depend only on achievement of pre-set goals closely aligned with shareholders’ interests and ii) will vary based on our performance relative to pre-set goals and CNH Industrial’s stock price performance between the grant date and vesting date.
With the RSU element of pay, which has the function of retaining very effective leadership, the CEO has 70% of his target compensation tied to equity, which further ties this portion of CEO’s compensation to shareholders’ interests.
As a result of our exceptional performance over the last two years, the equity incentives awarded in 2021 (2020 for NEOs) are currently expected to achieve the maximum predetermined performance goals , and will reflect our stock price appreciation over that period to the extent 2023 performance reflects our current expectations.
While this combined with the shares appreciation, may result in potential values that are much higher than the fair values as of the grant date, this possibility reflects our alignment of pay and performance as well as the favorable effects of our leadership’s actions on our long-term shareholders, who over the same period have benefited from strong stock price returns and robust return of cash initiatives (buy back and dividends).
Mr. Wine’s total compensation package was fixed on appointment and will not increase prior to 2026, during which time the overhand/surplus to market median will reduce, and while this compensation package is in the upper percentile relative to our compensation peer group, the HCC Committee and the Board determined this pay package was necessary to secure Mr. Wine’s appointment (also to compensate him for the forfeited compensation package at his previous company) and was in the best interests of our shareholders, employees and broader stakeholders
Several shareholders expressed an interest in seeing CNH Industrial adopt ESG performance measures in our long-term incentives, to supplement our market-leading use of CO 2 Emission reduction and Accident Frequency goals in the annual cash incentive plan. Market data from S&P 500 companies and peer group show specific and weighted ESG in LTI metrics in the industrial sector are uncommon. ESG priorities are reflected in sustainability stewardship being a top five strategic initiative while safety is a top five employee area, and we cascade the ESG goals to LTI participants. We believe in embedding the sustainability measures at the individual level to reinforce their priority and impact results across the board. The HCC Committee will reconsider this feedback in future reviews of the incentive framework.

As an international company, with a global shareholder base, we believe that it is important for us to understand and consider the diverse views of our shareholders and other stakeholders, which we seek to balance when reaching decisions on compensation. Through various forms and levels of engagement, we have solicited input from shareholders with ownership combined interests surpassing 40% in aggregate (including Exor excluding special voting rights). CNH Industrial remains committed to maintaining an ongoing dialogue with our major stakeholders and reaching out to shareholders to consider their views on the compensation formulation process.
Use of Market Data
The Company periodically benchmarks its executive and NEO compensation programs utilizing a pre-approved peer group. In 2022, the HCC Committee approved a revised peer group, which reflects CNH Industrial’s diverse business and revenues, the completion of the Demerger , and the associated impact on CNH Industrial’s size and primary industry classification (the “2022 Compensation Peer Group”).
While CNH Industrial is headquartered in Europe, the U.S. market has a prominent impact on our business. This is evident as after the Demerger, although we are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) alongside and the Borsa Italiana (the Italian stock exchange), majority of the trading has shifted to the NYSE. Further evidence is supplied by our strong commercial presence in the U.S., the robust returns generated by such presence, the high concentration of our peer companies and competitors in the U.S., the talent markets in which we operate, and the nationalities represented in our leadership team. Accordingly, our compensation peer group appropriately reflects this reality.
Consistent with prior years, the 2022 Compensation Peer Group is comprised of a combination of companies based in the U.S. and Europe with a view to positioning CNH Industrial around the median of key financial scoping criteria, primarily revenue and market capitalization. At the time the 2022 Compensation Peer Group was approved by the HCC Committee, CNHI ranked at the 46 th percentile on projected 2022 revenue, and the 38 th percentile on market capitalization amongst its peers.

When benchmarking compensation for NEOs other than Mr. Wine, the Company considers a combination of available data for this peer group and survey data provided by its consultant, WTW. Similar principles are used in identifying survey peers based on size and industry applicability. In assessing compensation levels, the Company primarily references median figures, considering various factors, such as location and scope of role, in setting individual NEO pay relative to median.
Compensation and Risk
CNH Industrial is committed to maintaining and enhancing a culture focused on integrity and accountability. The Company has adopted several policies, including those detailed below, that reflect our culture as well as our compensation principles of aligning executives’ interests with long-term shareholder value creation and encouraging prudent risk taking.
57
Stock Ownership Requirements
Our NEOs are subject to robust stock ownership guidelines, which require them to build up an interest in CNH Industrial stock over time as summarized below.
Minimum Requirements CEO: five-times base salary with an interim milestone of two and a half-times base salary as of December 31, 2022
Other NEOs: three-times base salary
Time Horizon Within five years of policy implementation (2021) or an NEO’s date of appointment as applicable
Counted Equity Interests Beneficially owned shares or shares in which the executive has a beneficial interest, e.g., owned by a spouse
Unvested equity awards do not count towards the requirement
Retention Requirement The CEO must hold vested shares for five years from grant date
Other NEO’s must hold 50% of net shares following vesting until the stock ownership requirement is met
At the end of 2022, all NEOs were progressing towards their stock ownership requirement within the permitted five-year time horizon or in compliance with their respective stock ownership requirement.
Compensation Recoupment Policy
Our compensation recoupment policy (the “Compensation Recoupment Policy”) authorizes the Company to recover, or “clawback,” incentive compensation with the ability to retroactively adjust if any cash or equity incentive award was predicated upon achieving financial results and the financial results are subsequently subject to an accounting restatement.
Covered Employees All current or former executive officers
Triggering Events Substantial accounting restatements of financial results that informed incentive outcomes, regardless of fraud or misconduct
Covered Compensation Awards made under our equity incentive plan, which encompasses all incentive compensation awarded to NEOs including annual cash incentives under the Company Bonus Plan (“CBP”) and equity grants of PSUs and RSUs. The Company reserves the right to recoup excess amounts over that which would have been paid under an accounting restatement to the extent practicable.
Time Horizon Incentive compensation received during the three-year period preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement
No recoupment of incentive compensation was warranted under any of the Company’s incentive plans during 2022.
2022 Compensation Decisions and Outcomes
The following sections detail NEO compensation and incentive outcomes for 2022 and explain the impact of the Demerger on the 2021-2023LTI awards as approved by the HCC Committee in 2022.
Base Salary

Annual Cash Incentive
Our NEOs’ annual variable compensation, delivered under the CBP, is contingent on the achievement of pre-established, rigorous financial measures and other designated performance objectives, such as ESG KPIs. The goals of our incentive plans align to our five strategic priorities which, in addition to customer service, emphasize safety, quality, delivery and profitability for all stakeholders. Awards under our CBP are subject to our Compensation Recoupment Policy.
TARGET BONUS OPPORTUNITY X COMPANY PERFORMANCE X INDIVIDUAL PERFORMANCE = EARNED BONUS
75% - 200% of year-end salary 0 – 200% of target CEO: 0-100% of target;
Other NEOs: 0 – 125% of target To earn any bonus, a threshold hurdle rate of Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin must be achieved
Subject to an overall cap of 200% of target
The HCC Committee approved the 2022 compensation design with reference to CNH Industrial’s strategic priorities, communicated goals and market practices. With respect to any annual bonuses, a threshold hurdle rate of Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin must be achieved. Company performance is assessed based on three financial performance measures and two ESG measures, with established threshold, target and maximum goals. Achieving threshold performance earns 30% of the target opportunity, and maximum performance earns 200% of the target opportunity.

(2) If this hurdle level of Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin is not achieved, no annual cash incentive will be paid, regardless of the level of performance achievement in respect of the other measures
(3) Accident Frequency Rate has a declining goal value for maximum payout, so a value lower than target is an exceeds target achievement.
While the CEO is only subject to the company performance payout factor and any negative discretion applied by the HCC Committee, other NEOs’ awards are also subject to an individual performance factor, which can range from 0% - 125%, based on achievements against previously determined performance goals. Following an assessment of individual performance during 2022, the HCC Committee approved individual performance factors ranging from 90%-125% of target.

Equity Incentives
Our equity incentives delivered under our LTI plan are a vital component of our NEOs’ overall reward packages. Equity incentives support our long-term strategy and recognize our NEOs’ leadership and the achievement of our strategic objectives. As of 2022, the Company grants equity awards on an annual basis, whereas awards granted in and prior to 2021 were made on a ‘front-loaded’ basis, meaning awards were generally made once every three years. This change was made in response to shareholder feedback, to better align our design with competitive market norms, to enhance the retention impact of our awards, and to maximize alignment with our strategic priorities. Equity is delivered in a combination of PSUs and RSUs, both of which are subject to the terms of our Compensation Recoupment Policy. The Company does not pay dividends or dividend equivalents on PSUs and RSUs.

2022-2024 Performance Share Unit (“PSU”) Awards
The performance measures for the 2022 PSU awards comprise two weighted financial metrics and a modifier based on CNH Industrial’s TSR performance relative to a group of our peers. All measures are calculated over the period of 1.1.2022 – 12.31.2024.

Industrial ROIC 50% Adjusted EBIT (after-tax) divided by Average Industrial Invested Capital, calculated as a three-year average
Relative TSR Modifier Three-year TSR measured relative to peers (see further detail below)
(1) We make adjustments to U.S. GAAP financial measures for purposes of our financial performance measures to ensure the results properly reflect management contributions.
The payout ranges for our PSU awards range from a threshold of 50% of target to a maximum of 200% of target for outstanding performance. If the threshold performance goals are not achieved, none of the PSUs will vest.

Relative TSR performance will be assessed against a single peer group of sixteen companies that reflect both the agriculture and construction equipment aspects of our business.
Agriculture Peers Construction Equipment Peers Composite Peers (Agriculture and Construction Equipment)
AGCO Corporation AB Volvo Komatsu Ltd. Bucher Industries AG
Husqvarna AB Alstom SA Sandvik AB Cummins Inc.
Kubota Corporation Caterpillar Inc. Terex Corporation Deere & Company
The Toro Company Kion Group AG Westinghouse Air Brake Technologies Corp Trimble Inc.
Performance in respect of all measures will be assessed over the three-year period ending December 31, 2024.
2022 RSU Awards
The 2022 RSU awards also vest on a cliff basis, following the conclusion of a three-year period, subject to continued service and satisfactory individual performance.
2021 – 2023 PSU Awards
As a result of the Demerger in 2022, the performance period of the 2021-2023 PSU awards spans pre- and post-Demerger periods. The HCC Committee realigned the performance conditions for the proportional post-Demerger CNH Industrial scope of business operations only. The HCC Committee sought to ensure that the performance goals remained challenging and reflected the same degree of stretch after the perimeter adjustment.
The 2021 PSU awards were subject to a similar performance matrix used for the 2022 PSUs, assessing cumulative Adjusted EPS, average Industrial ROIC and a relative TSR modifier. To reflect the Demerger, the HCC Committee approved updated Adjusted EPS and Industrial ROIC goals to simply reflect CNH Industrial’s contributions pre- and post-Demerger. In addition, the HCC Committee determined that the TSR component would be assessed relative to the original peer group for 2021 performance, and the updated peer group disclosed in respect of the 2022 PSUs for the remaining two years of the performance period. The resulting modifier would be weighted one-third based on 2021 performance and two-thirds based on 2022 – 2023 performance when approving a final outcome.
The adjusted 2021– 2023 performance goals, restated to reflect CNH Industrial’s (off-highway) performance contributions contemplated in the original goals are as follows:
Cumulative 2021 – 2023 Adjusted EPS
< Threshold Threshold Target Outstanding Relative TSR Modifier
< $1.67 $1.67 $2.09 ≥ $2.51
Average 2021 – 2023 Industrial ROIC Outstanding ≥ 12.0% 100% 125% 150% 200% X Outstanding ≥ 75 th Percentile
1.25
Target 10.1% 50% 75% 100% 150% Target 50 th Percentile
1.00
Threshold 8.4% 25% 50% 75% 125% Threshold ≤ 25 th Percentile
0.75
< Threshold < 8.4% 0% 25% 50% 100%
The relative TSR modifier for 2021 has been assessed relative to the original peer group which comprised AB Volvo, AGCO Corporation, Caterpillar Inc., Cummins Inc., Deere & Company, Komatsu Ltd., Kubota Corporation, PACCAR Inc., and Traton SE. CNH Industrial ranked first relative to these companies for 2021, and so one-third of the final relative TSR modifier will be scored at 1.25. Two-thirds of the modifier will be based on CNH Industrial’s performance relative to the peer group disclosed in respect of the 2022 PSUs for the final two years of the performance period.
As with the 2022 PSUs, payouts are pro-rated for performance between the threshold, target and outstanding performance goals, and the maximum payout is subject to an overall cap of 200% of target.

New Hire Awards
When the HCC Committee and/or the Board determine it appropriate, the Board, at the recommendation of the HCC Committee, may approve additional compensation associated with the recruitment of new executives. In relation to the recruitment and appointment of Mr. Wine as CEO, effective January 2021, the HCC Committee recommended, and the Board approved, payments to secure Mr. Wine’s appointment. As disclosed in 2021, these payments were made to compensate Mr. Wine for amounts that he was forfeiting with his prior employer upon accepting the role at CNH Industrial.
Replacement For Vehicle Key Terms Value
Forfeited 2020 annual cash incentive Cash Intended to replace Mr. Wine’s fully earned but unpaid annual cash incentive for 2020 performance
Paid to Mr. Wine in April 2021 and included in the bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2021
Total: $1,573,000
2021: $1,573,000
Forfeited 2018–2020 long-term incentive awards Cash Intended to replace portions of Mr. Wine’s LTI awards granted in 2018, 2019 and 2020 for which he had contributed to the performance achievement of but would not earn and weren’t covered by CNH Industrial’s 2021-2023 front-loaded target LTI awards described below
Replacement value will be paid in three cash installments in 2022, 2023 and 2024 broadly aligned to the timing and values of the original awards that would have vested at his prior employer
The agreed amount reflects the estimated performance achievements and value associated with the underlying awards for the time Mr. Wine was employed
The first payment was made in 2022 and is included in the bonus column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2022
The payments are payable in the event of a Qualifying Termination but would be forfeited if the CEO voluntarily terminated prior to the payment dates.
Total: $7,578,000
2022: $4,248,000
2023: $2,355,000
2024: $975,000
Equity The one-time 3X annual target LTI award served multiple purposes:
Using 2X of the RSU awards ($6 M) in addition to the Cash LTI Sign-On ($7.578 million noted above) to compensate Mr. Wine for the total value of his 2018, 2019 and 2020 LTI awards forfeited with his prior employer on joining CNH Industrial, an estimated total value of $13.578 million at the time of the offer
Using 1X each of the RSUs and PSUs to cover the annual target LTI award for the 2021 grant cycle for the 2021-2023 performance period, and providing the remaining 2X PSUs as a one-time highly leveraged at risk PSU award to incentivize Mr. Wine to join and be immediately invested in the long-term success of CNH Industrial and aligned with shareholder interests
The majority of the award was delivered in PSUs with performance conditions consistent with those applicable to other 2021–2023 NEO PSU awards. The value of these awards is included in the Stock Awards column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2021
The on-going annual LTI awards are $12M at target.
2021 grant date fair value: $36,090,720
75% in PSUs
25% in RSUs
As a result of payments being staggered to align with the LTI awards Mr. Wine forfeited on joining CNH Industrial, amounts will appear in our Summary Compensation Table for 2022, as well as 2021, 2023 and 2024. No other new hire or one-time awards were made to our NEOs during 2022.
Mr. Wine’s first two years with CNH Industrial have been impressive, with stellar financial results, reinforcing the HCC Committee’s conviction that the right candidate was selected and the use of performance-based equity in his buyout was appropriate. As a result, the value of his outstanding compensation is positively linked to the Company’s performance. For further discussion, see the “Pay versus Performance” section of this CD&A.
The HCC Committee considered multiple factors when establishing Mr. Wine’s ongoing target compensation, including what was considered appropriate to secure and retain a high-caliber leader with an exceptional track record who previously had a highly competitive compensation arrangement. As previously discussed, Mr. Wine’s regular annual target compensation is fixed through 2025 and totals $17.1 million, with 73% tied to the Company’s performance and 70% in CNH Industrial equity awards.

(1) For Messrs. Wine and Barr, the amounts include deferrals into the CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan. Salary amounts deferred in fiscal 2022 are shown in the Fiscal 2022 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table.
(2) For the non-U.S. based NEOs, their local currency base earnings were converted to USD using the full year average exchange rate for the given year. For each fiscal year, the table below shows the exchange rates (USD per local currency) used for each of the non-U.S. based NEOs:
Name Local Currency 2022 Average Exchange Rate 2021 Average Exchange Rate 2020 Average Exchange Rate
Oddone Incisa EUR 1.0530 1.1827 1.1422
Derek Neilson GBP 1.2348 1.3759 1.2838
Stefano Pampalone CHF 1.0481 1.0940 1.0670
(3) The amount in 2022 represents the first of three annual installments of a cash award which will total $7.578 million. This award replaces the CEO’s forfeited long-term awards which were not covered under the CNH Industrial 2021-2023 LTI awards. The second and third installments will equal $2.355 million and $0.975 million, respectively, and are set to be paid in 2023 and 2024. The 2023 payment was made in fiscal 2023 and will be reported in the Company’s executive compensation disclosure for fiscal 2023. The amount in 2021 was a cash sign-on paid upon hiring to compensate for the forfeited 2020 bonus from the prior employer.
(4) Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of PSUs and RSUs computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The values in this column exclude the effect of estimated forfeitures. Assumptions made in the calculation of these amounts are included in Note 17, "Share-Based Compensation,” of our consolidated financial statements. For PSUs, the value at the grant date is based upon a target payout of the performance metrics over the three-year performance period. For the 2022 PSUs, if the highest level of performance were achieved, the value of the PSU awards as of the grant date would be as follows: $20,189,638 (Wine), $4,128,914 (Incisa), $3,639,516 (Neilson), $1,689,099 (Pampalone), and $1,653,464 (Barr). RSUs will vest three years after the grant date, at which time they may be settled in CNHI common stock. Refer to the Fiscal 2022 Grants of Plan-Based Awards table and footnote 17 "Share-Based Compensation" thereto for a detailed description of the grant date fair value of our stock awards.
(5) As discussed in the CD&A under “CBP Outcomes” in the Annual Cash Incentive section, based on actual company performance, the NEOs earned a CBP award equal to 145.89% of the target opportunity. The awards for NEOs other than the CEO were adjusted for individual performance by a factor that ranged from 90% to 125.
66
(6) Mr. Wine deferred 50% of the earned CBP bonus into the CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan. Bonus amounts deferred in 2022 are shown in the Fiscal 2022 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table and relate to the 2021 plan year bonus.
(7) Messrs. Incisa, Neilson and Pampalone’s local currency cash bonuses were converted to USD using the full year average year exchange rate for the given year, as shown in the Base Salary section above.
(8) For Messrs. Wine and Barr, these amounts include above market interest earned on deferred compensation for each year.
(9) For Mr. Neilson, these amounts include the change in present value (“PV”) of his defined benefit plan accumulated benefits. The U.K. CNH Pension Scheme was discontinued effective January 31, 2020 for additional service, but benefits increase annually for inflation as measured by the U.K. retail price index (“RPI”). The valuation changes for market conditions impacting the assumptions, primarily the discount rate. The change in the PV of the Accumulated Benefit over 2021 (a reduction of £40,858) and 2022 (a reduction of £914,553) have been set to zero for disclosure purposes.

e. Mr. Pampalone’s position is based in Lugano, Switzerland but he is also a resident of Italy for tax purposes. Per Mr. Pampalone’s employment agreement, he is tax equalized to Switzerland taxes, meaning the Company pays any amount in respect of Italian taxes that would result in Mr. Pampalone’s net taxes exceeding what he otherwise would have paid in Switzerland.
f. Messrs. Wine and Barr are eligible for post-employment supplemental retiree healthcare if they remain employed until age 55 and Mr. Wine has five years as CEO and Mr. Barr has three years as Senior Leadership Team member service, respectively. The amounts provided above represent the annual service costs of future potential benefits per the annual actuarial valuation.
g. All the NEOs participate in their countries’ defined contribution plan for salaried employees, and in the case of Mr. Incisa, for Directors as defined in the Contratto Collettivo di Lavoro per i Dirigenti , (“Italy Contract”), the collective labor contract for Directors. The amounts provided above include the 2022 contributions the Company made into their respective savings plans.
h. For Messrs. Wine and Barr, company matching amounts above the qualified 401(k) plan limits are also included above and are also disclosed in the non-qualified deferred compensation table.
i. For Mr. Neilson, the amount listed above includes supplemental contributions over the tax qualified limits which are paid directly to Mr. Neilson as they are earned. The supplemental benefits are described in a later section regarding Pension Benefits. Of the total amount provided above, $15,212 covers the tax and gross-up on the portion that is tax-protected by the Company.

(1) For the non-equity incentive plan awards, the grant date is the date on which the Committee approved the range of estimated potential payouts for the 2022 performance year under the CBP. For equity awards, the grant date is the notification date for awards granted to the NEOs after the Committee approved the 2022-2024 LTI plan. For the non-U.S. based NEOs, the range of payout was converted to USD using the 2022 full year average exchange rates (see the related footnote in the Summary Compensation Table for the FX rates).
(2) The threshold, target and maximum columns show the range of potential payouts under the CBP for achievement of the Company’s performance metrics. The metrics and range of performance goals for threshold, target and maximum are described in the CD&A in the “ 2022 Compensation Decisions and Outcomes | Annual Cash Incentives ” section. If actual performance is between the threshold, target and maximum amounts, the earned CBP award will be prorated. For the NEOs other than the CEO, an individual modifier between 0% and 125% will be applied based on the CEO’s assessment of their individual and team goals set in the Company’s Performance Management Process (“PMP”) for 2022.
(3) Represents the potential payout range of PSUs granted in May 2022. The number of shares that vest is based on the achievement of predetermined performance metrics’ goals for the three-year period, January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. The metrics and range of performance goals for threshold, target and maximum are described in the CD&A in the “ 2022 Compensation Decisions and Outcomes | Equity Incentives” section. At the end of the three-year performance period, the actual award, delivered as CNH Industrial common stock, can range from 0% to 200% of the original grant. The awards may be forfeited for unfavorable individual performance at the sole discretion of the Committee. No dividend equivalents are earned during the vesting period.
(4) Represents the number of RSUs granted in May 2022. RSUs will vest on April 30, 2025, at which time they will be settled in CNH Industrial common stock. The awards may be forfeited for unfavorable individual performance at the sole discretion of the Committee. No dividend equivalents are earned during the vesting period.
(5) Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of equity awards granted to the NEOs in fiscal 2022 calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The values in this column exclude the effect of estimated forfeitures. For both the PSUs and RSUs, fair value is the market value of the underlying stock on the grant date, excluding dividends. The valuation of the PSUs assumes a target payout.
For additional information on the valuation assumptions, refer to Note 17, “Share-Based Compensation,” of CNH Industrial’s consolidated financial statements.

Pension Benefits
Mr. Neilson, who is located in the U.K., is the only NEO who participates in a qualified defined benefit pension plan that provides a benefit based on an individual’s service and salary. Mr. Neilson participates in the CNH Pension Scheme (the “Scheme”) which all
69
salaried U.K. employees hired prior to December 31, 2002 participate in. The Scheme was closed to future service accruals from January 31, 2020.
The following table shows the present value of accumulated benefit using assumptions consistent with the Company’s financial disclosure on the Scheme.

(1) The years of credited service ended January 31, 2020 when the plan was discontinued for additional service.
(2) The present value of the accumulated benefit fluctuates year-over year for market conditions impacting the financial assumptions used, primarily the discount rate. The actual benefit is adjusted annually for inflation.
Plan Features of the Scheme Definition/Description
Form of Benefit Lifetime benefit begins at retirement based on individual’s service and salary. Members have the option to exchange up to 25% of their pension for a tax-free cash lump sum.
Pensionable Service Mr. Neilson is entitled to senior staff benefits under the Scheme and as such received pensionable service credit based on his actual service (“Pensionable Service”).
Pensionable Pay Final pensionable pay varies by service period, but Mr. Neilson is subject to capped pensionable pay levels.
Accrual Rates For service up to March 31, 2012, the accrual rate is 1/55 th of final pensionable pay for each complete year of service. The accrual rate applied for service from April 1, 2012 is 1/80th
Normal Retirement Date The earliest date for an unreduced benefit is age 65.
Revaluation Prior to Retirement Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service on or before April 5, 2009 will be revalued each year in line with the Retail Price Index (“RPI”), up to a maximum of 5.0% a year.
Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service on or after April 6, 2009 will be revalued each year in line with the annual increase in the Consumer Prices Index (“CPI”), up to a maximum of 2.5% each year.
Increases in Payment Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service completed before April 6, 1997 are not guaranteed to increase in payment, but they are reviewed annually by the Company and are increased at its discretion when financial resources permit.
Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service completed between April 6, 1997 and April 5, 2005 will be increased automatically each year in line with the CPI, up to a maximum of 5% a year.
Pensions earned in respect of Pensionable Service on or after April 6, 2005 will be increased automatically each year in line with the annual increase in the Consumer Prices Index (“CPI”), up to a maximum of 2.5% each year.
Defined Contribution Benefits
Each of the NEOs participates in a Company-sponsored defined contribution plan available to salaried employees in their country of employment. All such defined contribution plans are tax-qualified plans. The U.S. based NEOs, Messrs. Wine and Barr also participate in a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for limits over the tax-qualified plans, as described in the “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation” section. Mr. Neilson receives supplemental contributions over the tax-qualified limits which are paid to him directly for his own personal retirement savings.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan Benefits
In the U.S., CNH Industrial offers the Case New Holland Industrial Inc. 2005 Deferred Compensation Plan (the “CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan”) to certain U.S. salaried employees, including U.S. based NEOs, to provide longer-term savings opportunities on a tax-efficient basis for retirement and future income needs. Similar deferred compensation benefits are commonly offered by U.S. companies with which we compete for talent. Messrs. Wine and Barr participate in the CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan.
Key Features of the CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan
Contributions
Eligible participants may elect annually to tax defer up to 90% of their salary and eligible bonus and also elect supplemental contributions over the qualified limits under the CNH Industrial U.S. Retirement Plan (a 401(k) plan).
There are two types of supplemental contributions under the CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan:
• Elective Deferrals, also called Excess 401(k) Contributions (made by employees)
• Employer Matching Contributions (Company matching contributions on Excess 401(k) contributions)
Elective Deferrals : Once the participant has reached the elective deferral limit in the CNH Industrial U.S. Retirement Savings Plan, supplemental tax-deferred contributions (Excess 401(k) Contributions) are credited to their CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan account for the remainder of the year.
Employer Matching Contributions : Supplemental Employer Matching Contributions are made based on Excess 401(k) Contributions. The participant must complete a year of eligibility service to begin receiving matching contributions. The Company matches 200% of the first 2% of eligible pay and then 100% of the next 8% of pay that is contributed to the 401(k) plan and the CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan, for a maximum match of 12% of eligible pay.
71
The first-year eligibility for Company matching contributions was waived for Mr. Wine, as part of his CEO employment agreement. The amounts were credited to Mr. Wine’s CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan account at the end of 2021. No exceptions were made for Mr. Barr or other NEOs in the CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan.
The U.S. based NEO’s 2022 deferral elections are noted in the footnotes to the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation table.
Earnings
CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan accounts are credited with a rate of return based on the effective annual yield of 130% of Moody’s Corporate Bond Index on all participant and company matching contributions. The earnings are also on a tax-deferred basis, thus maximizing the combined benefit of pre-tax deferrals and tax-deferred growth.
Because this rate of return was above the U.S. applicable federal rate (“AFR”) each year, earnings in excess of the AFR are included on the Summary Compensation Table.
Vesting
• Participant deferrals and related earnings are 100% vested.
• Employer Matching Contributions vest after three years of continued service.
Forms of Payment
The CNH Industrial Deferred Compensation Plan provides flexible payment options for participants who remain employed as of a specific date (a “scheduled distribution”) and/or after the participant retires or otherwise terminates their employment with the Company.
Retirement Accounts: Can be elected to be paid in a lump sum (after six months of termination for key employees such as the NEOs) or in annual installments over a period of up to 10 years.
• If installments are elected, that election will apply if the participant at the time of termination of employment reaches age 62 or reaches age 55 with 10 years of credited service.
• If the participant is not retirement eligible at the time of termination of employment with the company, accounts will be paid in a lump sum.
• If the participant becomes disabled while employed, accounts are treated as retirement payments, regardless of reaching retirement eligibility.
Scheduled Distributions : Can be paid in a lump sum or annual installments up to five years.
• The payment commencement year must be at least five years after the plan year when the schedule is established.
• All scheduled distribution subaccounts that commence in a year after the participant’s termination of employment will be paid according to the participant’s retirement election for that plan year.

Fiscal 2022 Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control
Potential Payments upon Change in Control
The CNH Industrial N.V. Equity Incentive Plan (the “EIP”) includes change in control provisions that apply to participants’ outstanding equity awards and are intended to facilitate continuity of management in the event of a change in control (as defined in the EIP) (“CIC”).
The Committee believes the EIP’s CIC provisions:
– Encourage executives to act in the best interest of shareholders when evaluating transactions that, without a CIC arrangement, could be personally detrimental;
– Keep executives focused on running the business in the face of definitive, contemplated or rumored transactions;
– Protect CNH Industrial’s value by retaining key talent despite potential corporate changes;
– Protect CNH Industrial’s value after a CIC by including restrictive covenants (such as non-compete provisions) and a general release of claims in favor of CNH Industrial; and
– Help CNH Industrial remain competitive in its ability to attract and retain skilled executives.
Other Potential Payments Upon Other Qualifying Terminations
In addition, the NEOs and other Senior Leadership Team members have qualifying termination terms and conditions which include other qualifying terminations.
No severance payments were made to Executive or Non-Executive Directors.

Fiscal 2022 Pay Versus Performance (“PvP”)
A key principle of the Company’s compensation philosophy, incorporated throughout our compensation policies and programs, is pay for performance. CNH Industrial leverages variable pay elements tied to challenging Company goals that are aligned to the business strategy, while ensuring no adverse risk taking by offering appropriate and competitive fixed pay elements. The following tables, supporting footnotes and narrative and graphic disclosure aim to demonstrate the link between compensation actually paid, per the SEC definition, for our NEOs to the Company’s performance, both in absolute terms and as compared to the market for the fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020.
Specifically, this PvP section discusses the relationship between:
• “Compensation actually paid” (“CAP”) by the Company and the total compensation as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”);
• CAP and the Company’s financial performance (TSR, GAAP Net Income, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Consolidated Revenues); and
• The Company’s TSR and peer group TSR.

Compensation Actually Paid Versus Company Performance
CNH Industrials’ compensation framework emphasizes pay for performance, as evidenced in only 10% of the CEO’s target direct compensation being fixed in the form of base salary. Given Mr. Wine’s appointment as CEO in 2021, both the Summary Compensation Table pay and Compensation Actually paid figures comprise multiple elements of equity compensation, namely:
• A 2021 equity grant, comprising PSUs (75%) and RSUs (25%) was awarded at three-times the target annual value. As explained in the “New Hire Awards” section on page 63 these awards served multiple purposes including buying out Mr. Wine’s forfeited awards on joining CNH Industrial, providing an initial equity grant as part of the 2021-2023 performance cycle, and lastly a one-time inducement for joining through performance-based PSUs. The three-times multiple was the framework approved by shareholders for Executive Directors and consistent with the awards to other NEOs as part of our transition to an annual equity grant framework in response to feedback from our shareholders.
• A 2022 equity grant with a target grant value of $12M, consistent with the annual target package approved by the HCC Committee on Mr. Wine’s appointment and fixed for five years, again delivered in a combination of PSUs (75%) and RSUs (25%).
These awards are subject to vesting periods and the only realized value so far from these awards is from the first tranche of the 2021-2023 RSUs that vested in 2022 and must be held by the CEO until January 4, 2026.
• The remaining RSUs granted in 2021 and 2022 will vest in 2023 and 2024 for the 2021 grant and in 2025 for the 2022 grant and will remain subject to a holding period for a further two years into 2026 and 2027. During this time, they remain subject to stock price exposure, maximizing alignment with shareholder interests.
• The PSUs granted in 2021 and 2022 will not vest until 2024 and 2025 respectively and are subject to quantifiable, objective performance conditions based on cumulative Adjusted EPS, Average Industrial ROIC and relative TSR. Following vesting,
77
these shares will also remain subject to a two-year holding period. During these time horizons, the underlying awards will remain at-risk dependent on our performance, with the potential payout ranging from 0% - 200% of target, as well as being exposed to our stock price performance.
The table above calculates CAP in accordance with the required methodology, meaning that these outstanding awards have been valued prior to vesting based on fair values. The fair values take into account our performance to date, both in terms of stock price appreciation between the date of grant and our fiscal year ends and our projected payout factors relative to the performance measures applicable to the 2021 and 2022 PSUs. As a result of our performance in the first two years of Mr. Wine’s tenure as CEO, the values on this basis have increased materially since the date of grant. The equity value included in the CAP calculation reflects our FMV/unit appreciation of 31% and 12% since the date of grant in 2021 and 2022, respectively, the 2021 PSUs projecting a payout factor of 200% of target after two of the three years in the performance period having elapsed, and the 2022 PSUs projecting a payout factor of 150% of target after one of the three years in the performance period having elapsed.
The charts below illustrate the component factors that result in the differences between the grant date fair values and the measurement date fair values as included in our 2021 and 2022 CAP calculations for our CEO serving as PEO in those years.

The charts below illustrate the component factors that result in the differences between the grant date fair values and the measurement date fair values as included in our CAP calculations.
78
PEO and Average NEO CAP versus TSR 2020-2022. The Company outperforms the peer in TSR.
As shown below, CNH Industrial’s stock performance has outperformed the peer group. This material increase during 2021 is a contributing factor to the increase in CAP during the same period relative to the grant date fair value included in SCT pay. The following charts show the TSR trend versus the PEO’s SCT compensation and CAP and other NEO's SCT compensation and CAP, respectively.
79
PEO and Average NEO CAP versus U.S. GAAP Net Income
The chart below shows the relationship between CAP and U.S. GAAP Net Income. The Company does not use U.S. GAAP Net Income in our compensation program; however, significant improvement in Net Income from 2020 contributed to stock price, and shareholder value and impacted long term incentive valuation.
PEO and Average NEO CAP vs Adjusted Diluted EPS 2020-2022
The chart below shows the relationship between CAP and our company selected measure of Adjusted Diluted EPS, which features in our PSU performance measures for 2021 and 2022. There was a significant increase in Adjusted Diluted EPS during 2021, and a further increase in 2022 which contributed to the assessment of mid-cycle PSU payout factors in establishing the fiscal year end fair values for outstanding awards.
80
PEO and average NEO CAP versus Consolidated Revenues
The chart below shows the relationship between CAP and our supplementary performance measure of Consolidated Revenues. While this is not an explicit performance measure used to determine the vesting of PSUs, we believe it is an important driver of stock price performance and accordingly it will influence the value of outstanding equity awards.
Tabular List of Company Performance Measures
The following table alphabetically lists the measures we believe are most important in linking compensation actually paid to company performance during 2022.
(1) Adjusted Diluted EPS ($)
(2) Cash Conversion
(3) CNH Industrial TSR
(4) Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin (%)
(5) Consolidated Revenues ($)
(6) Industrial Return on Invested Capital (“Industrial ROIC %)
All of the identified financial measures are listed. Further details on these measures and how they feature in our compensation plans can be found in our Compensation Discussion & Analysis.
Fiscal 2022 Pay Ratio
As required by and pursuant to SEC 17 C.F.R. § 229.402, the Company’s median employee total compensation as compared to Scott W. Wine, CEO, for 2022 has been calculated.
• The annual total compensation for our median employee was $ 47,208.
• The annual total compensation of our CEO as reported in the Summary Compensation Table was $ 22,915,662.
• The ratio of Mr. Wine’s total compensation to our median employee’s total compensation for fiscal year 2022 was approximately 485 to 1.
Our median employee was identified using the following methodology:
• We chose November 30, 2022 as the date to determine median employee
• We included all full-time, part-time, temporary, and seasonal employees globally (excluding the CEO) for a total of 39,883 employees, 26.2% being located in the USA and 73.8% outside the USA
• The Company did not exclude any employees when determining our employee population.
• We used annualized base pay as our consistently applied compensation measure to identify the median employee.
The CEO pay ratio reported above is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with SEC 17 C.F.R. § 229.402 based on the methodologies and assumptions described above.
81
Compensation of Directors
The Board of Directors consists of a one-tier structure including Executive Directors (the Chair and the CEO roles) with managerial roles and Non-Executive board members with supervisory roles. The Board as a whole has collective responsibility for the strategy of the Company and is currently composed of nine Directors. The Board of Directors of the Company appointed the following internal committees: (i) an Audit Committee, (ii) an Environmental, Social and Governance Committee, and (iii) an HCC Committee. The Board also appointed Mr. Léo W. Houle Senior Non-Executive Director.
The CEO is also the primary NEO in this report whose compensation is disclosed in detail in the CD&A and corresponding compensation tables section. The Chair’s compensation is disclosed in this section with the Non-Executive Directors, although her compensation is structured differently, as indicated below.
We have structured the compensation of our Non-Executive Directors with the following objectives in mind:
• Offer competitive compensation to attract and retain highly qualified leaders to guide and govern a large, global, complex organization;
• Recognize the substantial investment of time and expertise necessary for the directors to discharge their duties;
• Ensure that compensation is easy to understand and is regarded positively by our shareholders and employees; and
• Comply with Dutch corporate governance best practices and comply with Dutch and U.S. SEC regulations.
The compensation of our Non-Executive Directors is fixed and not dependent on the Company’s financial results, in accordance with DCGC which sets governance practices and expectations for companies incorporated in the Netherlands. Accordingly, they receive their annual retainer fee, committee membership, and committee chair fee payments (collectively, “Fees”) entirely in cash. Non-Executive Directors do not receive benefits upon termination of their service as directors, nor any other benefit, perquisites. No meeting fees are paid, but we do reimburse directors for expenses related to meeting attendance. For some countries, Non-Executive Directors and the Company are subject to social contributions on the fees earned.
Compensation is reviewed annually for the Chair and Non-Executive Directors by the HCC Committee.
Compensation for Non-Executive Directors
The compensation of Non-Executive Directors is governed by the CNH Industrial N.V. Directors’ Compensation Plan within the scope of the CNH Industrial N.V. Remuneration Policy. The following chart describes amounts we pay to Non-Executive Directors:
Non-Executive Director Compensation Total
Annual cash retainer $125,000
Additional retainer for Audit Committee member $25,000
Additional retainer for Audit Committee Chair $35,000
Additional retainer for member of other Board committees $20,000
Additional retainer for Chair of other Board committees $25,000
In 2019, upon the recommendation of the HCC Committee, the Board resolved to implement share ownership guidelines for the Non-Executive Directors. Applicable to Non-Executive Directors appointed or reappointed in April 2019 or thereafter, Non-Executive Directors are required to own Company shares in an aggregate amount of not less than 1x their annual retainer fee, which is $125,000, within 24 months of first appointment to the Board. The Non-Executive Directors are expected to hold Company shares as a long-term investment and, as such, are expected to hold their Company shares while on the Board and for an additional three months after their Board service terminates. All of the Non-Executive Directors have currently met the guideline except for the newly appointed Directors, Messes. Bastioli and Ms. Tamsons who have until December 23, 2023 to meet the guideline.
Compensation for the Chair
The Chair role, held by Suzanne Heywood, is an Executive Director managerial board role, whose compensation differs from the Non-Executive supervisory board members. The Chair is not a NEO and therefore her compensation is not included in the CD&A section of this report.
The following table summarizes the fundamental purpose and features of the Chair’s compensation elements for 2022:

Notes:
(1) For the CEO, the amount includes a Company leased vehicle, health care and life insurances, and personal usage of aircraft. For the Chair, the amount includes personal use of a Company-provided car service, healthcare and life insurances and executive health assessment. Typical employee benefits for healthcare and life insurance are not included in the Summary Compensation Table.
(2) The 2022 amount represents the bonus approved for the performance year and paid in 2023. See the Incentives section in the CD&A for details of the payout and in the “ CEO’s 2022 Company Bonus Plan Performance Factor Calculations:” shown in the next table.
(3) The Chair does not participate in the annual cash incentive plan.
(4) The amounts represent each fiscal year’s share-based compensation (SBC) expense under applicable accounting standards relating to grants issued with a portion of the vesting period in the fiscal year. For 2022, the amount includes the 2022-2024 and the 2021-2023 LTI plans. The performance factor assumption is1.5 for the 2022-2024 LTI PSUs and 2.0 for the 2021-2023 LTI PSUs. This valuation differs from the equity value in the Summary Compensation Table under the U.S. SEC 10k regulations which applies the FMV at grant date of the awards granted during the fiscal year.
The following shows the SBC expense comparing the range of payout at target, assumed performance, and maximum:
Executive Director Position Year At Target ($)
At Assumed Performance($) At Maximum($)
Scott W. Wine CEO 2022 14,018,559 23,504,170 24,452,627

2021 1,521,504 2,517,515 2,517,515
(5) The amount in 2022 represents the first of three annual installments of a cash award which will total $7.578 million. This award replaces the CEO’s forfeited long-term awards which were not covered under the CNH Industrial 2021-2023 LTI awards. The second and third installments will equal $2.355 million and $0.975 million, respectively, and are set to be paid in 2023 and 2024. The 2023 payment was made in fiscal 2023 and will be reported in the Company’s executive compensation disclosure for fiscal 2023. The amount in 2021 was a cash sign-on paid upon hiring to compensate for the forfeited 2020 bonus from the prior employer.

Notes:
(1) The accounting valuation of share-based compensation expense is the value reported for equity awards in the Summary Remuneration table.
(2) The LTI plan includes the legacy 2021-2023 performance cycle awards and the 2022-2024 performance cycle awards which consists of a Company performance component, with potential vesting of PSUs, and an individual performance component, with potential vesting of RSUs. The PSUs for both cycles vest at the end of their respective performance cycle, while the legacy RSUs vest in three equal annual installments over the performance cycle and the 2022-2024 RSUs cliff vest on April 30, 2025.
In accordance with the DCGC, the Committee discussed with the CEO and the Chair their respective 2022 compensation, and each are fully aligned with the compensation awarded.
Internal Pay Ratios
When setting the Executive Directors’ compensation, the Committee considers both the appropriate external benchmark as well as the internal pay ratios within the Company. Although the primary consideration is market competitiveness to attract and retain highly qualified senior executives in a large, global, complex organization, a baseline internal comparison is set, and trends are tracked. The trend in executives’ compensation is evaluated in relation to the trend in employees’ compensation.
89
In line with the guidance under the DCGC, the CEO Pay ratio and trend is disclosed in the annual executive compensation disclosure of the annual report. The basis of the pay ratio comparison uses the prevalent Dutch methodology of average employee compensation, including all labor costs. Consistent with prior years, CEO compensation and average employee compensation use the accounting value of equity awards. Under this methodology, the value of an equity award is allocated over the period between grant and vesting.
The CEO’s pay in 2022 and 2021 reflect the pay of Scott W. Wine, hired on January 4, 2021 with a highly competitive pay package and hiring incentive awards to attract him to join CNH Industrial and leave a highly paid CEO position at this former employer. Additionally, the incentive included one-time highly leveraged performance-based equity awards to align him with CNH Industrial shareholders and provide upside potential reward linked to performance for the risk he assumed changing from a known company and industry to a much larger and globally diverse and complex company in a different industry. His performance-based equity awards have experienced above target performance under Mr. Wine’s leadership across each of the metrics, Adjusted Diluted EPS and Industrial ROIC and relative TSR. The 2022 value of the equity awards reflects PSUs achieving the maximum, 2x target, for the 2021-2023 LTI PSUs and 1.5x target for the 2022-2024 LTI PSUs. Additional explanation of the CEO’s pay in 2022 and 2021 and the strong link to Company and share price performance can be referenced in the CD&A and the Pay versus Performance section of this report.
The average employee compensation is the total personnel costs reported in the Annual Report, which excludes Executive Director compensation, divided by average year headcount reported in the Annual Report, less the CEO who is included in the total average year headcount. Over the five-year period, the average employee compensation has been impacted, due to changing business conditions, by shifts in the labor market in the different geographies.
The five-year trend of CEO pay versus average employee compensation is shown in the following table:
2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 5-year trend

Notes:
(1) The compensation for the CEO is as reported in the Summary Remuneration table per the DCGC and Dutch Civil Code unless otherwise noted in subsequent footnotes. In 2022, the CEO’s compensation includes the value of the CEO’s performance-based equity awards with an expected 2x payout for the 2021-2023 LTI PSUs and 1.5x payout for the 2022-2023 LTI PSUs and the extraordinary compensation of $4.2 million related to the first installment of three of the hiring cash incentive which replaces the forfeited equity not covered under the 2021-2023 LTI awards. Mr. Wine’s target total direct compensation which is fixed for five years is $17.1 million, which would result in a CEO pay ratio of 224 and maximum payout opportunity of $29.5 million, resulting in a ratio of 386.
(2) The CEO, hired January 4, 2021, received a signing incentive to leave his prior employer before his 2020 bonus payout. The ratio excluding that one-off payment is 290. The equity expense included in the total CEO compensation is assuming target payout for the company performance share units. The actual payout is at the end of the performance period and will be determined in February 2024. The ratio assuming maximum payout for the company performance share units is 434.
(3) For 2020, data incorporates the compensation of the former CEO and the Acting CEO, as was reported in the Summary Remuneration table.
(4) For 2019, CEO compensation is consistent with the Summary Remuneration table include in the 2019 report, excluding the 2019 accounting value of the CEO’s one-time “Make Whole” award, which vested in September 2019. Including the 2019 Make Whole accounting value of $2.8 million, the CEO pay ratio would be 156. The 2019 CEO Pay Ratio calculation includes $2.9 million in accounting value related to the 2017-2019 PSUs that did not meet the threshold achievement for any payout and have been forfeited. The CEO Pay Ratio excluding the forfeited PSU award would be 62.
(5) For 2018, a targeted full year compensation is shown for year-over-year comparison.
(6) Average Employee compensation is derived from personnel costs reported under IFRS, which does not include personnel costs for the Executive Directors, divided by the average headcount. Personnel costs as disclosed with the IFRS Annual Report for 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 are $2,976 million, $4,695 million, $3,820 million, $3,909 million and $3,591 million respectively. Average number of employees as disclosed within the IFRS Annual Report for 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018 are 38,966, 67,318, 63,482, 64,596 and 64,045 respectively.

For perspective, the Company`s key performance metrics for the same past five years are shown below:
Selected Performance Data (1)(2)
2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 5-year trend
Net Income – US GAAP ($ million) 2,039 1,801 (198) 797 1,099 186%
Adjusted Diluted Earnings/(Loss) per share ($) 1.46 1.28 0.42 0.64 0.8 183%
Absolute Total Shareholder Return - Indexed from 2017 (3)
146 150 99 84 69 146%
Notes:
(1) Includes non-GAAP metrics derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
(2) Figures from 2019 to 2022 reflect the continuing operations scope of CNH Industrial, that is excluding the Iveco Group businesses results. The 2018 figures reflect the entire scope of CNH Industrial in 2018.
(3) Using dividend-adjusted closing prices at the ending of each year and indexing from a 2017 year end baseline (i.e., index at 100).
Under the leadership of the current CEO, the 2022 and 2021 operational results on numerous key metrics hit record levels and shareholders earned a high cumulative two-year return as well. In the Pay versus Performance section, additional metrics are shown, including a comparison to the relative TSR of the S&P 500 Industrial index, a group of about industrial peers. As that section illustrates, CNH Industrial’s performance trend on many fronts has been stellar.
The linkage of CEO pay to performance is very strong with 73% tied to the CEO’s compensation at target and 84% at maximum. The investment in securing Mr. Wine’s expertise, vision and leadership has already paid off through the increased value delivered to shareholders and stakeholders.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions and Director Independence
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
The Audit Committee has adopted a written Related Party Transactions Policy that governs reviewing, approving, or ratifying all related person transactions. The written Related Person Transactions Approval Policy applies to: (1) executive officers and directors of the Company; (2) any person or enterprise owning, directly, or indirectly an interest in the voting power of the Company that give gives it significant influence over the Company; and (3) immediate family members of anyone in category (1) or (2).
Each year, our directors and executive officers complete questionnaires designed to elicit information about potential related person transactions. In addition, the directors and officers must promptly advise our Chief Legal and Compliance Officer if there are any changes to the information they previously provided. Transactions deemed reasonably likely to be related person transactions are submitted to the Audit Committee for pre-approval at its next meeting. Mr. Howard W. Buffett’s father is Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation (the “Foundation”). In 2022, the Foundation purchased approximately $1,000,000 of Company agriculture machinery for donation to the Ukrainian Ministry of Agriculture. This donation was part of the Foundation’s charitable contributions in the areas of food safety and conflict mitigation.
Director Independence
We have a one-tier management structure (i.e. management board that may be composed of both members having responsibility for our day-to-day operations, who are referred to as “executive directors”, and members not having such responsibility, who are referred to as “non-executive directors”). Our executive directors, Ms. Heywood and Mr. Scott Wine, and the non-executive directors were elected at the Company's annual general meeting of shareholders held on April 13, 2022. The term of office of the current Board of Directors will expire on April 14, 2023, the date of the Company’s next AGM.
Six directors (67%) qualify as independent for purposes of NYSE rules, Rule 10A-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the Dutch Code.

Under the laws and regulations of the Netherlands, the Ernst & Young Entities audit tenure will conclude upon the completion of their 2022 financial year audits due to mandatory audit firm rotation rules. At the April 13, 2022 Annual General Meeting of the Shareholders, Deloitte Accountants B.V., was appointed the Company’s independent auditor for the 2023 financial year.
Audit Committee’s Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
Our Audit Committee nominates and engages our independent registered public accounting firm to audit our consolidated financial statements. Our Audit Committee has a policy requiring management to obtain the Audit Committee’s approval before engaging our independent registered public accounting firm to provide any other audit or permitted non-audit services to us or our subsidiaries. Pursuant to this policy, which is designed to ensure that such engagements do not impair the independence of our independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit Committee reviews and pre-approves (if appropriate) specific audit and non-audit services in the categories Audit Services, Audit-Related Services, Tax Services, and any other services that may be performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. During the year ended December 31, 2022, all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved in accordance with such policies and procedures.

Management's Discussion and Analysis
The following Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) is intended to promote understanding of the Company's financial condition and results of operations. The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
This discussion includes forward-looking statements, which, although based on assumptions that we consider reasonable, are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or conditions to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our discussion of cautionary statements and significant risks to the company’s business under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Overview
CNH Industrial is a leading equipment and services company engaged in the design, production, marketing, sale, and financing of agricultural and construction equipment.
Until December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial N.V. owned and controlled the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business” or the “On-Highway Business”), as well as the Agriculture business, the Construction business, and the related Financial Services business (collectively, the “Off-Highway Business”). Effective January 1, 2022, the Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. by way of a demerger under Dutch law (the "Demerger") to Iveco Group N.V. (the "Iveco Group") and the Iveco Group became a public listed company independent from CNH Industrial, with its common shares trading on Euronext Milan. The On-Highway Business' financial results for the periods prior to the Demerger have been reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Operations, retrospectively, as discontinued operations. Additionally, the related assets and liabilities associated with the On-Highway Business in the prior year consolidated balance sheet are classified as discontinued operations within Assets Held for Distribution and Liabilities Held for Distribution on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
We generate revenues and cash flows principally from the sale of equipment to dealers and distributors. Financial Services provides a range of financial products focused on financing the sale and lease of equipment to our dealers and their customers.
Revenues of Industrial Activities are presented net of discounts, allowances, settlement discounts and rebates, as well as costs for sales incentive programs, determined on the basis of historical costs, country by country, and charged against profit for the period in which the corresponding sales are recognized. Our sales incentive programs may include the granting by Financial Services of retail financing at discounts to market interest rates. The corresponding cost to Industrial Activities is recognized at the time of the initial sale and the revenues of Financial Services are recognized on a pro rata basis in order to match the cost of funding.
Principal Factors Affecting Results
Our operating performance is highly correlated to sales volumes, which are influenced by several different factors that vary across our segments.
For Agriculture, the key factors influencing sales are the level of net farm income, which is influenced by commodity prices, and, to a lesser extent, general economic conditions, interest rates and the availability of financing and related subsidy programs. Variations by region and product are also attributable to differences in typical climate and farming calendars, as well as extraordinary weather conditions.
For Construction, segmentation varies by regional market: in developed markets, demand is oriented toward more sophisticated machines that increase operator productivity, while in developing markets, demand is oriented toward more utilitarian models with greater perceived durability. Sales levels for heavy construction equipment are particularly dependent on the expected level of major infrastructure construction and repair projects, which is a function of expected economic growth and government spending. For light construction equipment, the principal factor influencing demand is the level of residential and commercial construction, remodeling and renovation, which is influenced in turn by interest rates and availability of financing, as well as, in the residential sector, levels of disposable income and, in the commercial sector, the broader economic cycle.
Demand for services and service-related products, including parts, is a function of the nature and extent of the use of the related agricultural and construction equipment. The after-sales market is historically less volatile than the wholegoods market and, therefore, helps reduce the impact on operating results of fluctuations in new sales.
Our cost base principally comprises the cost of raw materials and personnel costs.
Raw material costs are closely linked to commodity markets and largely outside of our control, although we are making a targeted effort to increase procurement and production efficiencies. Historically, we have been able to pass on to our customers most of the increase in the cost of raw materials through increases in product pricing. Nevertheless, even when we are able to do so, there is
101
usually a time lag between an increase in materials cost and a realized increase in product prices and, accordingly, our results are typically adversely affected at least in the short-term until price increases are accepted in the market.
Personnel costs change over time and are impacted by the terms of collective bargaining agreements, inflation and average number of employees. A significant proportion of our employees are based in countries where labor laws impose significant protection of employers’ rights and, accordingly, we have limited ability to downsize our personnel in response to a decrease in production during periods of market downturn.
Our results are also affected by changes in foreign exchange rates from period to period, mainly due to the difference in geographic distribution between our manufacturing activities and our commercial activities, resulting in cash flows from exports denominated in currencies that differ from those associated with production costs. In addition, our Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are therefore subject to movements in exchange rates upon translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar.
Finally, our results may be materially affected, directly or indirectly, by governmental policies, including monetary and fiscal policies and policies on international trade and investment.
Global Business Conditions
Significant uncertainties, including rising inflation, geopolitical instability, and the war in the Ukraine, continue to create volatility in the global economy. These factors lead to inefficiencies in our manufacturing operations and impact costs. We continue to work to mitigate the impact of these issues in order to meet end-market demand. We will continue to monitor the situation as conditions remain fluid and evolve.
During the first quarter of 2022, CNH Industrial announced it was suspending non-domestic operations in Russia. The Company has since been supporting its operations in this market through the continuation of employee salaries and payment of other administrative expenses. As a result of the suspension, the Company evaluated the carrying value of assets held within the Company's Russia operations. Upon completion of the evaluation, during the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded charges of $71 million related to asset write downs, financial receivable allowances and a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets. The Russia-Ukraine conflict and the ensuing sanctions to Russia and Belarus and Russian counter-sanctions have created additional tensions in the commodity markets. The Company has no critical supplier in the affected countries, but prices for certain commodities, including natural gas, have created and might create further volatility.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
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.
As of December 31, 2022, CNH Industrial’s 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 on-going operational activities.
Net (Cash) Debt and Net (Cash) Debt of Industrial Activities (or Net Industrial (Cash) Debt)
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.
102
Revenues on a Constant Currency Basis
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.
Free Cash Flow 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; assets under operating leases, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; change in derivatives hedging debt of Industrial Activities; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.
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.

103
Cost of Goods Sold
Cost of goods sold were $16,797 million in 2022 compared to $14,109 million in 2021, an increase of 19.1% year over year. As a percentage of net sales of Industrial Activities, cost of goods sold was 78.0% in 2022 (79.3% in 2021), as a result of favorable fixed cost absorption partially offset by cost escalation. In the year ended December 31, 2022 this item includes $41 million of asset write downs as a result of the suspension of operations in Russia.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
SG&A expenses amounted to $1,752 million in 2022 (7.4% of revenues) compared to $1,454 million in 2021 (7.5% of revenues) as activity levels grew and inflation affected expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2022 SG&A includes $17 million in write-downs due to the suspension of operations in Russia.
Research and Development Expenses
In 2022, R&D expenses were $866 million compared to $642 million in 2021. The expense in both years was primarily attributable to continued investment in new products, technologies, and digital solutions.
Restructuring Expenses
The Company incurred restructuring costs of $31 million and $35 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $734 million in 2022 compared to $549 million in 2021.

Income taxes expense (benefit) $ 747 $ 229
Effective tax rate 27.9 % 11.8 %
In 2022, income taxes were an expense of $747 million, compared to a tax expense of $229 million in 2021. The effective tax rates for 2022 and 2021 were 27.9% and 11.8%, respectively. The 2022 tax rate was negatively impacted by increased profitability in high-tax jurisdictions, tax expenses associated with the disposition of Raven’s Engineered Films Division and Raven’s Aerostar Division,
104
additional reserves for uncertain tax positions and an increase in unrecognized deferred tax assets in jurisdictions with highly inflationary economies. These negative impacts were partially offset by $55 million in benefits associated with previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in Italy.
In 2021, income taxes were an expense of $229 million with an effective tax rate of 11.8%. The Company’s 2021 tax rate was positively impacted by $161 million related to recognizing deferred tax assets associated with the Company’s operations in Brazil. The 2021 rate was also reduced by a reduction in reserves for uncertain tax positions, and the utilization of unrecognized deferred tax assets.
Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and Affiliates
Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates was $104 million in 2022, compared to $91 million in 2021.

Net sales for Construction were $3,572 million in 2022, a 15.9% increase (up 18.4% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2021, as a result of positive price realization and contribution from the Sampierana business, partially offset by the negative impact of foreign exchange rates.
Global industry volume for construction equipment decreased in both Heavy and Light sub-segments year over year in 2022, down 11% and 9%, respectively. Aggregated demand increased 2% in EMEA, decreased 2% in North America, increased 18% in South America and decreased 23% for Asia Pacific, particularly in China.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $124 million in 2022 (up $34 million compared to 2021). The improvement was due to positive price realization and favorable volume and mix, partially offset by higher product costs related to raw material and freight costs. Adjusted EBIT margin was 3.5%.
106
Financial Services Performance
Finance, Interest and Other Income
Financial Services reported revenues of $1,996 million in 2022, up 19.4% compared to 2021 (up 20.0% on a constant currency basis) primarily due to favorable volumes in all regions, higher base rates across all regions, mainly in South America, and higher used equipment sales.
Net Income
For the year ended December 31, 2022, net income was $338 million, a $11 million decrease compared to 2021, primarily due to margin compression in North America and increased labor costs, partially offset by favorable volumes in all regions, higher recoveries on used equipment sales and higher base rates in South America.
In 2022, retail originations (including unconsolidated joint ventures) were $10.0 billion, up $0.2 billion compared to 2021. The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $23.8 billion as of December 31, 2021 (of which retail was 67% and wholesale 33%), up $3.6 billion compared to December 31, 2021.
At December 31, 2022, the receivable balance greater than 30 days past-due as a percentage of receivables was 1.3% (1.2% as of December 31, 2021).

Net sales for Agriculture were $14,721 million in 2021, a 34.8% increase (up 33.0% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2020. The increase was mainly due to higher industry demand, better mix, favorable price realization of 7% and lower destocking compared to 2020.
For 2021, worldwide industry unit sales for tractors increased 14% compared to 2020, while worldwide industry sales for combines were up 19% compared to 2020. In North America, industry volumes in the over 140 hp tractor market sector were up 23% and combines were up 25%. Industry volumes for under 140 hp tractors were up 10%. European markets were up 16% and 17% for tractors and combines, respectively. In South America, tractor industry volumes increased 22% and combine industry volumes increased 19%. Rest of World markets increased 15% for tractors and 19% for combines.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $1,810 million in 2021, compared to $880 million in 2020. The $930 million increase was driven by higher volume, favorable mix and price realization in all regions, partially offset by higher raw material and freight costs, higher SG&A costs driven by higher variable compensation, and R&D spend returning to more normal levels from the low levels experienced in the previous year. Adjusted EBIT margin was 12.3%.
Construction
Net Sales
The following table shows Construction net sales by geographic region in 2021 compared to 2020:
Construction Sales – by geographic region:
(in millions) 2021 2020 % Change
North America $ 1,443 $ 963 49.8 %
Europe, Middle East and Africa 781 $ 554 41.0 %
South America 497 $ 318 56.3 %
Asia Pacific 360 $ 335 7.5 %
Total $ 3,081 $ 2,170 42.0 %
Net sales for Construction were $3,081 million in 2020, a 42.0% increase (up 40.9% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2020, driven by favorable price realization, higher demand, and lower destocking by dealers and distributors.
In 2021, global demand for construction equipment was up 14% compared to 2020, with Heavy sub-segment up 16% and Light subsegment up 13%. Demand increased 23% in North America, 19% in Europe, 87% in South America, and 6% in Rest of World.
Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $90 million in 2020 (up $274 million compared to 2020). The improvement was due to positive price realization and favorable volume and mix, partially offset by higher product costs related to raw material and freight costs and higher variable compensation. Adjusted EBIT margin was 2.9%.

Financial Services Performance
Finance, Interest and Other Income
Financial Services reported revenues of $1,672 million in 2021, up 0.7% compared to 2020 (up 0.5% on a constant currency basis) primarily due to higher used equipment sales and higher average portfolios in Europe, South America and Asia Pacific, partially offset by lower average portfolio in North America due to a reduction in wholesale financing.
Net Income
For the year ended December 31, 2021, net income was $349 million, a $106 million increase compared to 2020, driven by lower risks cost due to improved market outlook, stronger pricing in North America, higher recoveries on used equipment sales, and higher average portfolio.
In 2021, retail loan originations (including unconsolidated joint ventures) were $9.7 billion, up $1.2 billion compared to 2020. The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $20.2 billion as of December 31, 2021 (of which retail was 65% and wholesale 35%), up $0.2 billion compared to December 31, 2020.
At December 31, 2021, the receivable balance greater than 30 days past-due as a percentage of receivables was 1.2% (1.4% as of December 31, 2020).

Liquidity and Capital Resources
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 Industrial, focusing on cash preservation and leveraging its good access to funding, continues to maintain solid financial strength and liquidity.
Capital Resources
The cash flows, funding requirements and liquidity of CNH Industrial are managed on a standard and centralized basis. This centralized system is designed to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of our management of capital resources.
Our subsidiaries participate in a company-wide cash management system, which we operate in a number of jurisdictions. Under this system, the cash balances of our subsidiaries are aggregated at the end of each business day to central pooling accounts. The centralized treasury management offers financial and systems expertise in managing these accounts, as well as providing related services and consulting to our business segments.
Our policy is to keep a high degree of flexibility with our funding and investment options in order to maintain our desired level of liquidity to achieve our rating targets while improving the Company’s capital structure over time. In managing our liquidity requirements, we are pursuing a financing strategy that aims at extending over time our Industrial Activities debt profile by issuing long-term bonds and retiring short-term debt through opportunistic transactions, deleveraging our Industrial Activities balance sheet by reducing gross debt, and diversifying funding sources.
A summary of our strategy is set forth below:
• Industrial Activities sells certain of its receivables to Financial Services and relies on internal cash flows including managing working capital to fund its near-term financing requirements. We will also supplement our short-term financing by drawing on existing or new facilities with banks.
• To the extent funding needs of Industrial Activities are determined to be of a longer-term nature, we will access public debt markets as well as private investors and banks, as appropriate, to refinance borrowings and replenish our liquidity.
• Financial Services’ funding strategy is to maintain a sufficient level of liquidity and flexible access to a wide variety of financial instruments. While we expect securitizations and sale of receivables (factoring) to continue to represent a material portion of our capital structure and intersegment borrowings to remain a marginal source of funding, we will continue to diversify our funding sources and expand our investor base within Financial Services to support our investment grade credit ratings. These diversified funding sources include committed asset-backed facilities, unsecured notes, bank facilities and, in an effort to further diversify funding sources and reduce the average cost of funding, Financial Services has implemented commercial paper programs in the U.S..
On a global level, we will continue to evaluate alternatives to ensure that Financial Services has access to capital on favorable terms to support its business, including agreements with global or regional partners, new funding arrangements or a combination of the foregoing. Our access to external sources of financing, as well as the cost of financing, is dependent on various factors, including our credit ratings.
On January 4, 2022 Fitch Ratings raised its Long-Term Issuer Default Rating ("IDR") on CNH Industrial N.V. to ‘BBB+’ from ‘BBB-’. Fitch also upgraded CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A.’s senior unsecured rating to ‘BBB+’ from ‘BBB-’. The Outlook is stable. On January 7, 2022, Fitch upgraded the Long-Term IDR and senior long-term debt ratings of CNH Industrial Capital LLC and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. to 'BBB+' from 'BBB-'. The outlook is stable. Fitch has also upgraded CNH Industrial Capital LLC's short-term IDR and commercial paper ratings to 'F2' from 'F3'.
On February 25, 2022, Moody's upgraded the senior unsecured ratings of CNH Industrial N.V. and its supported subsidiaries including CNH Industrial Capital LLC, CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A., CNH Industrial Capital Australia Pty. Ltd. and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. to Baa2 from Baa3. At the same time, Moody's withdrew CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. short term rating

(1) Includes treasury subsidiary, CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A.
The Company’s debt is investment grade, which the Company believes will allow it to access funding at better rates.
A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. A deterioration in our ratings could impair our ability to obtain debt financing and would increase the cost of such financing. Ratings are influenced by a number of factors, including, among others: financial leverage on an absolute basis or relative to peers, the composition of the balance sheet and/or capital structure, material changes in earnings trends and volatility, ability to dividend monies from subsidiaries and our competitive position. Material deterioration in any one, or a combination, of these factors could result in a downgrade of our ratings, thus increasing the cost, and limiting the availability, of financing.
Consolidated Debt
As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, our consolidated Debt was as detailed in the table below:
Consolidated Industrial Activities Financial Services
2022 2021 2022 2021 2022 2021
(in millions)
Total Debt $ 23,118 $ 21,399 $ 4,977 $ 5,819 $ 19,092 $ 15,911
We believe that Net Cash/(Debt), a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the section "Alternative performance measures (or “Non-GAAP financial measures”)", of section "General" above, is a useful analytical metric for measuring our effective borrowing requirements. We provide a separate analysis of Net Cash/(Debt) of Industrial Activities and Net (Cash)/Debt of Financial Services to reflect the different cash flow management practices in the two activities. Industrial Activities reflects the consolidation of all majority-owned subsidiaries, including those performing centralized treasury activities, except for Financial Services subsidiaries. Financial Services reflects the consolidation of the Financial Services’ businesses.
The calculation of Net Cash/(Debt) has of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the reconciliation of Total Debt, the U.S. GAAP financial measure that we believe to be most directly comparable, to Net Debt/Cash, are shown below:

Excluding positive exchange rate differences effect of $367 million, Net Debt at December 31, 2022 increased by $2,245 million compared to December 31, 2021, mainly due to the increase in portfolio receivables of Financial Services for $4,090 million, dividend cash-out of $412 million, Treasury shares buy-back acquisition of $153 million, partially offset by Free Cash Flow generation from Industrial Activities of $1,596 million, $350 million related to the sale of Raven Engineered Films Division, and Financial Services operating cash generation (net of portfolio growth).
Cash Flow Analysis
For the year ended December 31, 2022, Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash combined were $5,129 million, a decrease of $716 million from December 31, 2021, primarily due to increase of receivables portfolio of Financial Services by $4,090 million, payment of a dividend of $412 million, acquisition of treasury shares buy-back of $153 million and payment to Iveco Group of $502 million mainly related to the net debt outstanding at December 31, 2021, partially offset by operating cash generation of Industrial Activities, proceeds from the sale of Raven Engineered Films Division for $350 million, and new funding transactions.
At December 31, 2022, Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash were $4,376 million ($5,044 million at December 31, 2021) and $753 million ($801 million at December 31, 2021), respectively. Undrawn medium-term unsecured committed facilities were $5,061 million ($5,177 million at December 31, 2021) and other current financial assets were $300 million ($1 million at December 31, 2021). At December 31, 2022, the aggregate of Cash and cash equivalents, Restricted cash, undrawn committed facilities and other current financial assets, which we consider to constitute our principal liquid assets (or "available liquidity"), totaled $10,632 million ($10,521 million at December 31, 2021). At December 31, 2022, this amount also included $142 million net financial receivables from Iveco Group ($502 million net financial payables at December 31, 2021) consisting of net financial receivables mainly towards Financial Services of Iveco Group due to certain day to day transactions linked to purchase of receivables by our financial services organization which avails itself of the services of Iveco Capital Financial Services in Europe. At December 31, 2021, the net financial payables amount was mainly due to cash balances deposited by Iveco Group legal entities with CNH Industrial's central treasury, including cash management and /or cash pooling arrangements.

Industrial Activities
Capital Markets
At December 31, 2022, we had an aggregate amount of $8.9 billion in bonds outstanding, of which $4.8 billion was issued by Industrial Activities.
120
The capital markets debt of Industrial Activities mainly related to notes issued under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme (and the notes issued under its predecessor, the Global Medium Term Notes Programme), and senior unsecured debt securities issued by CNH Industrial N.V. described below.
Euro Medium Term Note ("EMTN") Programme . We have a medium-term note programme allowing for the placement of debt securities up to a total authorized amount of €10 billion ($11 billion). At December 31, 2022, €3,569 million ($3,806 million) was outstanding under the programme, all such debt having been issued by CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. and guaranteed by CNH Industrial N.V.
CNH Industrial N.V. Senior Notes . In the United States, CNH Industrial N.V has issued notes from time to time. In 2016, CNH Industrial N.V. issued $600 million of notes at an interest rate of 4.50% due August 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) at an issue price of 100 percent of their principal amount, and, in 2017, CNH Industrial N.V. issued $500 million of notes at an interest rate of 3.850% due November 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.384% of their principal amount. The 2023 Notes and the 2027 Notes are collectively referred to as the “CNH Industrial N.V. Senior Notes”.
The notes issued under the EMTN (and its predecessor the Global Medium Term Notes Programme) as well as the CNH Industrial N.V. Senior Notes impose covenants and other obligations on CNH Industrial N.V. as issuer and, in certain cases, as guarantor and CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. as issuer, including: (i) a negative pledge provision which requires that, if any security interest over assets of the issuer or the guarantor is granted in connection with debt that is, or is capable of being, listed or any guarantee is granted in connection with such debt, such security or guarantee must be equally and ratably extended to the outstanding notes; (ii) a status (or pari passu ) covenant, under which the notes rank and will rank pari passu with all other present and future outstanding unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the issuer and/or the guarantor (subject to mandatorily preferred obligations under applicable laws); (iii) an events of default provision setting out certain customary events (such as cross defaults, insolvency related events, etc.) the occurrence of which entitles the holders of the outstanding notes to accelerate the repayment of the notes; (iv) change of control provisions which, when combined with a rating downgrade of CNH Industrial N.V., grant the note holders the right to require immediate repayment of the notes; and (v) other clauses that are generally applicable to securities of a similar type. A breach of these obligations may require the early repayment of the notes. At December 31, 2022, CNH Industrial was in compliance with the covenants of the notes issued under the EMTN (and its predecessor the Global Medium Term Notes Programme) and the CNH Industrial N.V. Senior Notes.
CNH Industrial intends to repay the issued bonds in cash at the due date by utilizing available liquid resources. In addition, CNH Industrial may from time to time buy-back or enforce the available call options of issued bonds. Such buy-backs, if made, depend upon market conditions, the financial situation of CNH Industrial and other factors which could affect such decisions.
Bank Debt
At December 31, 2022, Industrial Activities available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $4.5 billion ($4.5 billion at December 31, 2021).
Euro 4 billion Revolving Credit Facility. In March 2019, the Company signed a five-year committed revolving credit facility for €4 billion ($4.5 billion at March 31, 2019 exchange rate) due to mature in 2024 with two extension options of 1-year each, exercisable on the first and second anniversary of the signing date. CNH Industrial exercised the first of the two extension options as of February 28, 2020 and the second extension option as of February 26, 2021. The facility is now due to mature in March 2026 for €3,950.5 million; €49.5 million within the facility will mature in March 2025. The credit facility replaced a five-year €1.75 billion credit facility scheduled to mature in 2021 and includes:
• customary covenants (including a negative pledge, a status (or pari passu ) covenant and restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness by certain subsidiaries);
• customary events of default (some of which are subject to minimum thresholds and customary mitigants), including cross-default 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 CNH Industrial or the borrower;
• a financial covenant (Net debt/EBITDA ratio relating to Industrial Activities) (this covenant is not applicable given the current ratings levels).
CNH Industrial N.V. has guaranteed any borrowings under the revolving credit facility with cross-guarantees from each of the borrowers ( i.e. , CNH Industrial Finance S.p.A., CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. and CNH Industrial Finance North America Inc.). At December 31, 2022, CNH Industrial was in compliance with the covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility.
121
Financial Services
Total debt of Financial Services was $19.1 billion at December 31, 2022, compared to $16.0 billion at December 31, 2021.
Bank Debt
At December 31, 2022, Financial Services' available committed, unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $0.6 billion ($0.7 billion at December 31, 2021).
Asset-Backed Financing
At December 31, 2022, Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $2.9 billion ($3.0 billion at December 31, 2021), of which $2.1 billion was utilized at December 31, 2022 ($2.0 billion at December 31, 2021).
We sell certain of our financial receivables to third parties in order to improve liquidity, to take advantage of market opportunities and, in certain circumstances, to reduce credit and concentration risk in accordance with our risk management objectives.
The sale of financial receivables is executed primarily through ABS transactions and involves retail notes and wholesale receivables originated to our Financial Services subsidiaries from end-use customers and dealers, respectively.
At December 31, 2022, our receivables from financing activities included receivables sold and financed through both ABS and factoring transactions of $12.6 billion ($10.3 billion at December 31, 2021), which do not meet derecognition requirements and therefore are recorded on our consolidated statement of financial position. These receivables are recognized as such in our financial statements even though they have been legally sold; a corresponding financial liability is recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as debt (see "Note 4: Receivables").

Support Agreement in the Interest of CNH Industrial Capital LLC
CNH Industrial Capital LLC benefits from a support agreement issued by CNH Industrial N.V., pursuant to which CNH Industrial N.V. agrees to, among other things, (a) make cash capital contributions to CNH Industrial Capital LLC, to the extent necessary to cause its ratio of net earnings available for fixed charges to fixed charges to be not less than 1.05:1.0 for each fiscal quarter (with such ratio determined, on a consolidated basis and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for such fiscal quarter and the immediately preceding three fiscal quarters taken as a whole), (b) generally maintain an ownership of at least 51% of the voting equity interests in CNH Industrial Capital LLC and (c) cause CNH Industrial Capital LLC to have, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, a consolidated tangible net worth of at least $50 million. The support agreement is not intended to be, and is not, a guarantee by CNH Industrial N.V. of the indebtedness or other obligations of CNH Industrial Capital LLC. The obligations of CNH Industrial N.V. to CNH Industrial Capital LLC pursuant to this support agreement are to the company only and do not run to, and are not enforceable directly by, any creditor of CNH Industrial Capital LLC, including holders of the CNH Industrial Capital LLC’s notes or the trustee under the indenture governing the notes. The support agreement may be modified, amended or terminated, at CNH Industrial N.V.’s election, upon thirty days’ prior written notice to CNH Industrial Capital LLC and the rating agencies of CNH Industrial Capital LLC, if (a) the modification, amendment or termination would not result in a downgrade of CNH Industrial Capital LLC rated indebtedness; (b) the modification, amendment or notice of termination provides that the support agreement will continue in effect with respect to the company’s rated indebtedness then outstanding; or (c) CNH Industrial Capital LLC has no long-term rated indebtedness outstanding.
For more information on our outstanding indebtedness, see “Note 10: Debt” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Future Liquidity
We have adopted formal policies and decision-making processes designed to optimize the allocation of funds, cash management processes and financial risk management. Our liquidity needs could increase in the event of an extended economic slowdown or recession that would reduce our cash flow from operations and impair the ability of our dealers and retail customers to meet their payment obligations. Any reduction of our credit ratings would increase our cost of funding and potentially limit our access to the capital markets and other sources of financing.
We believe that funds available under our current liquidity facilities, those realized under existing and planned asset-backed securitization programs and issuances of debt securities and those expected from ordinary course refinancing of existing credit facilities, together with cash provided by operating activities, will allow us to satisfy our debt service requirements for the coming year. At December 31, 2022, we had available committed, unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months of $5.1 billion ($5.2 billion at December 31, 2021).
Financial Services securitized debt is repaid with the cash generated by the underlying amortizing receivables. Accordingly, additional liquidity is not normally necessary for the repayment of such debt. Financial Services has traditionally relied upon the term ABS market and committed asset-backed facilities as a primary source of funding and liquidity. At December 31, 2022, Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to to $2.9 billion ($3.0 billion at December 31, 2021), of which $2.1 billion was utilized at December 31, 2022 ($1.0 billion at December 31, 2021).
If Financial Services were unable to obtain ABS funding at competitive rates and at the same time were unable to access other sources of finding at similar conditions, its ability to conduct its financial services activities would be limited.
Pension and Other Postemployment Benefits
Pension Plans
Pension plan obligations primarily comprise the obligations of our pension plans in the United States, the U.K. and Germany.
Under these plans, contributions are made to a separate fund (trust) which independently administers the plan assets. Our funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan equal to the amounts required to satisfy the minimum funding requirements pursuant to the laws of the applicable jurisdictions. The significant pension plans that we are required to fund are in the United Sates and the U.K. In addition, we make discretionary contributions in addition to the funding requirements. To the extent that a fund is overfunded, we are
123
not required to make further contributions to the plan in respect of minimum performance requirements so long as the fund is in surplus.
The investment strategy for the plan assets depends on the features of the plan and on the maturity of the obligations. Typically, less mature plan benefit obligations are funded by using more equity securities as they are expected to achieve long-term growth exceeding inflation. More mature plan benefit obligations are funded using more fixed income securities as they are expected to produce current income with limited volatility. Risk management practices include the use of multiple asset classes and investment managers within each asset class for diversification purposes. Specific guidelines for each asset class and investment manager are implemented and monitored.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the difference between the present value of the pension plan obligations and the fair value of the related plan assets was a deficit of $196 million and $369 million, respectively. In 2022, we contributed $46 million to the plan assets and made direct benefit payments of $12 million for our pension plans. Our expected total contribution to pension plan assets and direct benefit payments is estimated to be $48 million for 2023.
Healthcare Plans
Healthcare postretirement benefit plan obligations comprise obligations for healthcare and insurance plans granted to our employees working in the United States and Canada. These plans generally cover employees retiring on or after reaching the age of 55 who have completed at least 10 years of employment. United States salaried and non-represented hourly employees and Canadian employees hired after January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002, respectively, are not eligible for postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits under our plans. These plans are not required to be funded. Beginning in 2007, we made contributions on a voluntary basis to a separate and independently managed fund established to finance the North America healthcare plans.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the difference between the present value of the healthcare plan obligations and the fair value of the related plan assets was a deficit of $123 million and $151 million, respectively. In 2022, we did not contribute to the plan assets and made direct benefit payments for healthcare plans of $14 million and we expect to make direct benefit payments of $15 million in 2023.
Other Postemployment Benefits
Other postemployment benefits consist of benefits for Italian Employee Leaving Entitlements up to December 31, 2006, loyalty bonus in Italy and various other similar plans in France, Germany and Belgium. Until December 31, 2006, Italian companies with more than 50 employees were required to accrue for benefits paid to employees upon them leaving the company. The scheme has since changed to a defined contribution plan. The obligation on our consolidated balance sheet represents the residual reserve for years until December 31, 2006. Loyalty bonuses are accrued for employees who have reached certain service seniority and are generally settled when employees leave the company. These plans are not required to be funded and, therefore, have no plan assets.
At December 31, 2022 and 2021, the present value of the obligation for other postemployment benefits amounted to $89 million and $113 million, respectively.
In 2022, we made direct benefit payments of $7 million for other postemployment benefits and expect to make direct benefit payments of $7 million in 2023.
For further information on pension and other postemployment benefits, see “Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We use certain off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated third parties in the ordinary course of business, including financial guarantees. Our arrangements are described in more detail below. For additional information, see “Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Financial Guarantees
Our financial guarantees require us to make contingent payments upon the occurrence of certain events or changes in an underlying instrument that is related to an asset, a liability or the equity of the guaranteed party. These guarantees include arrangements that are direct obligations, giving the party receiving the guarantee a direct claim against us, as well as indirect obligations, under which we have agreed to provide the funds necessary for another party to satisfy an obligation.
CNH Industrial provided guarantees on the debt or commitments of third parties and performance guarantees in the interest of non-consolidated affiliates totaling $19 million as of December 31, 2022.

(1) Reserves for uncertain tax positions are not included within this table as the timing and ultimate uncertainty of settlement with the relevant taxing authorities is not known.
(2) Amounts presented exclude the related interest expense that will be paid when due. The table above does not include obligations for pensions, post-retirement benefits and health care plans. Our best estimate of expected contributions including direct benefit payment to be made by us in 2023 to pension plans, healthcare plans and other post-employment plans is $48 million, $15 million and $7 million, respectively. Potential outflows in the years after 2021 are subject to a number of uncertainties, including future asset performance and changes in assumptions, and therefore we are unable to make sufficiently reliable estimates of future contributions beyond 2022.
Debt Obligations
For information on our debt obligations, see “Capital Resources” above and “Note 10: Debt” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. The amount reported as debt obligations in the table above consists of our bonds, borrowings from banks, asset-backed financing and other debt which reconciles in total to the amount in the December 31, 2022 consolidated balance sheet.
Operating Lease Obligations
Our operating leases consist mainly of leases for commercial and industrial properties used in carrying out our businesses. The amounts reported above under “Operating Lease Obligations” include the minimal rental and payment commitments due under such leases.
Purchase Obligations
Our purchase obligations at December 31, 2022, included the following:
• commitments to purchase tangible fixed assets, largely in connection with planned capital expenditures, in an aggregate amount of approximately $77 million.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The financial statements included in this annual report and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and related assumptions are based on available information at the date of preparation of the financial statements, historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from the estimates.
Particularly in light of the current economic uncertainty, developments may occur which may differ from our estimates and assumptions, and therefore might require significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of certain items, which as of the date of this annual report cannot be accurately estimated or predicted. The principal items affected by estimates are the allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventories, long-lived assets (tangible and intangible assets), the residual values of equipment leased out under operating lease arrangements or sold with buy-back commitments, sales allowances, product warranties, pension and other postemployment benefits, deferred tax assets and contingent liabilities.
125
Estimates and assumptions are reviewed periodically and the effects of any changes are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised, if the revision affects only that period, or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects both current and future periods.
The following are the critical judgments and the key assumptions concerning the future that we have made in the process of applying our accounting policies and that may have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report or that represent a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The allowance for credit losses is our estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the trade receivables and financing receivables owned by us. Retail customer receivables primarily include retail notes and finance leases to end use customers and revolving charge accounts, which represent financing for customers to purchase parts, service, rentals, implements and attachments from CNH Industrial dealers. Wholesale receivables include dealer floorplan financing, and to a lesser extent, the financing of dealer operations. Typically, our receivables within a geographic area have similar risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring risk.
Retail receivables that share the same risk characteristics such as, collateralization levels, geography, product type and other relevant factors are reviewed on a collective basis using measurement models and management judgment. The allowance for retail credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation is adjusted for forward-looking macroeconomic factors, such as GDP and Net Farm Income. The forward-looking macroeconomic factors are updated quarterly. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.
Trade and wholesale receivables that share the same risk characteristics such as, collateralization levels, term, geography and other relevant factors are reviewed on a collective basis using measurement models and management judgment. The allowance for trade and wholesale credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation is adjusted for forward-looking macroeconomic factors, such as industry sales volumes. The forward-looking macroeconomic factors are updated quarterly. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.
Retail, trade and wholesale receivables that do not have similar risk characteristics are individually reviewed based on, among other items, amounts outstanding, days past due and prior collection history. Expected credit losses are measured by considering: the probability-weighted estimates of cash flows and collateral value; the time value of money; current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls (including the value of the collateral, if appropriate) over the expected life of each financial asset.
Charge-offs of principal amounts of receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance at the point when it is determined to be probable that all amounts due will not be collected. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and charged off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days.
The total allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022 and 2021 was $334 million and $285 million, respectively. Management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses takes into consideration historical loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of underlying collateral and current and future economic conditions.
While management believes it has exercised prudent judgment and applied reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that, in the future, changes in economic conditions or other factors will not cause changes in the financial condition of our customers. If the financial condition of some of our customers deteriorates, the timing and level of payments received could be impacted and, therefore, could result in an increase in losses on the current portfolio.
The assumptions used in evaluating the company’s exposure to credit losses involve estimates and significant judgment. While the company believes its allowance is sufficient to provide for losses over the life of its existing receivable portfolio, different assumptions or changes in economic conditions would result in changes to the allowance for credit losses. Historically, changes in economic conditions have had limited impact on credit losses within the company’s wholesale receivable portfolio. Within the retail customer receivables portfolio, credit loss estimates are dependent on a number of factors, including historical portfolio performance, current delinquency levels, and estimated recoveries on defaulted accounts. A hypothetical 10% increase in the quantitative loss rates would have resulted in an approximately $10 million increase to the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2022.
126
Allowance for Obsolete and Slow-moving Inventory
The allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory reflects our estimate of the expected loss in value, and has been determined on the basis of past experience and historical and expected future trends in the used equipment market. A worsening of the economic and financial situation could cause a further deterioration in conditions in the used equipment market compared to that taken into consideration in calculating the allowances recognized in the financial statements.
Recoverability of Long-lived Assets (including Goodwill)
Long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets such as patents and trademarks. We evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and finite-lived other intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. We assess the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and finite-lived other intangible assets by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable in full on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
We have identified three reporting units for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing: Agriculture, Construction, and Financial Services. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Under the goodwill impairment test, CNH Industrial’s estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. CNH Industrial has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary.
Goodwill and indefinite-lived other intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company considered whether a quantitative interim assessment of goodwill for impairment was required as a result of the significant economic disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the internal and external sources of information considered through June 30, 2020, including the current and expected future economic and market conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on each of the reporting units, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance (both current and projected), as well as the amount by which the fair value of the Company’s reporting units exceeded their respective carrying values at the date of the last quantitative assessment, the Company, as part of the qualitative assessment performed, determined these conditions indicated that it was more likely than not that the carrying value of the Construction reporting unit exceeded its fair value as of June 30, 2020. At June 30, 2020, CNH Industrial completed a quantitative impairment assessment for the Construction reporting unit which resulted in a fair value below carrying value. Based on the assessment, the Company recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $585 million for the Construction reporting unit.
In 2020, 2021 and 2022, we performed our annual impairment review as of December 31 and concluded that there was no impairment. We evaluate events and changes in circumstances to determine if additional testing may be required. For all reporting units, a 10% decrease in the estimated fair value would have had no effect on the carrying value of goodwill at the annual measurement date in 2022.
Residual Values of Assets Leased Out Under Operating Lease Arrangements
We record assets rented to customers or leased to them under operating leases as tangible assets. Income from such operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Depreciation expense for assets subject to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term in amounts necessary to reduce the cost of an asset to its estimated residual value at the end of the lease term. The estimated residual value of leased assets is calculated at the lease commencement date on the basis of published industry information and historical experience.
Realization of the residual values is dependent on our future ability to market the assets under then-prevailing market conditions. We continually evaluate whether events and circumstances have occurred which impact the estimated residual values of the assets on operating leases. The used equipment market was carefully monitored throughout 2022 to ensure that write-downs, if any, were properly determined; however, additional write-downs may be required if market conditions should deteriorate.
Sales Allowances
The company provides sales incentives and allowances to dealers. At the time a sale to a dealer is recognized, the company records an estimate of the future sales incentive costs as a reduction of revenue. These incentives may be based on a dealer’s purchase volume, or on retail sales incentive programs and financing programs that will be due when the dealer sells the equipment to a retail customer. The estimated cost of these programs is based on historical data, announced and expected incentive programs, field inventory levels. The final cost of these programs is determined at the end of the measurement period for volume-based incentives or when the dealer sells the equipment to the retail customer. Changes in the mix and types of programs affect these estimates, which are reviewed quarterly. Actual cost differences from the original cost estimate are recognized in “Net sales. The total accruals recorded were $1,556
127
million, $1,325 million, and $ 1,139 million in ”Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. The increase in each of 2022 and 2021 primarily resulted from higher retail demand.
Product Warranties
For most equipment and service parts sales, the company provides a standard warranty to provide assurance that the equipment will function as intended for a specified period of time. At the time a sale is recognized, the company records the estimated future warranty costs. The company determines its total warranty liability by applying historical claims rate experience to the estimated amount of equipment that has been sold to end-users and is still under warranty based on dealer inventories and retail sales. Variances in claims experience and the type of warranty programs affect these estimates, which are reviewed quarterly.
The product warranty accruals at December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020 were $544 million, $526 million, and $507 million, respectively. The increase in each of 2022 and 2021 related to higher sales volume. Estimates used to determine the product warranty accruals are based on historical claims rate leveraging the last rolling 12 months and consideration of current quality developments.
Pension and Other Postemployment Benefits
As more fully described in “Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, we sponsor pension, healthcare and other postemployment plans in various countries. We actuarially determine the costs and obligations relating to such plans using several statistical and judgmental factors. These assumptions include discount rates, rates for expected returns on plan assets, rates for compensation increases, mortality rates, retirement rates, and healthcare cost trend rates, as determined by us within certain guidelines. To the extent actual experiences differ from our assumptions or our assumptions change, we may experience gains and losses that we have not yet recognized in our consolidated statements of operations but would be recognized in equity. For our pension and postemployment benefit plans, we recognize net gain or loss as a component of defined benefit plan cost for the year if, as of the beginning of the year, such unrecognized net gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of (1) the projected benefit obligation or (2) the fair market value of the plan assets at year end. In such case, the amount of amortization we recognize is the resulting excess divided by the average remaining service period of active employees, and by the average life expectancy for inactive employees expected to receive benefits under the plan.
CNH Industrial reviews annually the mortality assumptions and demographic characteristics of its U.S. pension and healthcare plans participants. Subsequent to the Benefits Modification to the US Healthcare plan on April 16, 2018, the Company decided to change the base mortality table for the US Healthcare plan from the variants of blue-collar tables of RPH-2014 (with MP-2014 removed) to a no-collar variant. In addition, in 2018, CNH Industrial adopted the MP-2018 mortality improvement scale, which better reflected the actual recent experience over the previous mortality improvement scales.
In 2021, the Company adopted the updated mortality improvement scale issued by the SOA ("MP-2021"). The adoption of the new mortality assumptions resulted in a total increase of $1.3 million to the Company’s benefit obligations at December 31, 2021, of which $0.5 million and $0.8 million were related to pension plans and healthcare plans, respectively.

Realization of Deferred Tax Assets
At December 31, 2022, we had net deferred tax asset on temporary differences, including tax attributes, of $1.0 billion, of which $0.3 billion are not recognized in the financial statements. The corresponding totals at December 31, 2021, were $1.0 billion and $0.5 billion, respectively.
We have recognized deferred tax assets we believe are more likely than not to be realized. The determination to record a valuation allowance requires significant judgement and is based on an assessment of positive and negative evidence, whereby objectively verifiable evidence takes precedence over other forms of evidence. In our assessments, we consider actual and forecasted results, the potential to carryback net operating losses and credits, the future reversal of certain taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. We also consider risk factors, including, but not limited to, the economic conditions in the countries and, in some cases, regions in which we have significant operations as those conditions would generally impact our ability to generate taxable income in specific jurisdictions. It is reasonably possible the Company's recognition of deferred tax assets could change during 2023. Such changes could materially impact the Company's financial results.
During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recognized substantially all the deferred tax assets related to our agricultural and construction equipment operations in Italy, resulting in a $55 million non-cash tax benefit, as those operations had consistently returned to pre-tax profitability, with that trend anticipated to continue for the foreseeable future.
During the fourth quarter of 2021, we recognized substantially all the deferred tax assets related to our agricultural and construction equipment operations in Brazil, following the reorganization of the formerly fully-integrated businesses in the fourth quarter of 2021 in that jurisdiction in preparation for the spin-off of Iveco Group, resulting in a $161 million non-cash tax benefit, as those operations had consistently returned to sustained profitability in recent years, with that trend anticipated to continue for the foreseeable future.
Contingent Liabilities
We are the subject of legal and indirect tax proceedings covering a range of matters, which are pending in various jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is difficult to predict the final outcome of such matters. The cases and claims against us often raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to many uncertainties, including but not limited to the facts and circumstances of each particular case and claim, the jurisdiction and the differences in applicable law. In the normal course of business, we consult with legal counsel and certain other experts on matters related to litigation, taxes and other similar contingent liabilities. We accrue a liability when it is determined that an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event an adverse outcome is probable, but an estimate is not determinable or is possible, the matter is disclosed.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of CNH Industrial N.V.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CNH Industrial N.V. (the Company) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows and changes in equity for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2022, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) and our report dated February 28, 2023 expressed an unqualified opinion thereon.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Critical Audit Matter
The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. The communication of the critical audit matter does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates.
Valuation of certain of the acquired intangible assets of Raven Industries, Inc.
Description of the Matter
As described in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company completed its acquisition of Raven Industries, Inc. (“Raven”) on November 30, 2021 for a total purchase consideration of $2.1 billion. The purchase price was allocated to the net tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. Goodwill was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the net assets recognized.
Auditing the Company’s accounting of the acquired intangible assets of Raven was complex due to the significant estimation uncertainty in determining the fair value of identified intangible assets of approximately $0.5 billion, which primarily consisted of customer relationships, in-process research and development (“IPR&D”), and trade name attributable to the Applied Technology Division of Raven. The significant estimation uncertainty was primarily due to the sensitivity of the respective fair values to the underlying assumptions related to the future performance of the acquired business. The Company used the income approach to measure these intangible assets. The significant assumptions used to estimate the value of the intangible assets included royalty rates, discount rates, and projections of future revenues. These significant assumptions are forward looking and could be affected by future economic and market conditions.
131
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design, and tested the operating effectiveness of the Company's controls over accounting for the acquisition of Raven, including controls over the determination of the fair value of the acquired customer relationships, IPR&D, and trade name intangible assets of the Applied Technology Division, and management's evaluation of the underlying assumptions described above. We also tested management's controls over the completeness and accuracy of the data used in the valuation models.
To test the estimated fair value of the customer relationships, IPR&D, and trade name intangible assets and resulting goodwill of the Applied Technology Division, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, assessing the appropriateness of the valuation methodologies used and testing the significant assumptions used in the model, including the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data. We compared the significant assumptions to current industry, market and economic trends and to the historical results of the acquired business and involved valuation specialists to assist with our evaluation of the methodologies used by the Company and significant assumptions included in the fair value estimates.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1: Presentation
CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNH Industrial” or the “Company”) is incorporated in, and under the laws of, the Netherlands. CNH Industrial is a leading company in the capital goods sector that, through its various businesses, designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment and construction equipment. In addition, CNH Industrial’s Financial Services segment offers an array of financial products and services, including retail financing for the purchase or lease of new and used CNH Industrial and other manufacturers’ products and other retail financing programs and wholesale financing to dealers.
Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company had three reportable segments 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 the customers of the Company’s products. The Company’s worldwide agricultural equipment and construction equipment segments as well as corporate functions are collectively referred to as “Industrial Activities”.
The Company was formed as a result of the mergers of Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and its subsidiary CNH Global N.V. with and into CNH Industrial, effective September 29, 2013.
Spin-off of On-Highway Business
Until December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial N.V. owned and controlled the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business” or the “On-Highway Business”), as well as the Agriculture business, the Construction business, and the related Financial Services business (collectively, the “Off-Highway Business”). Effective January 1, 2022, the Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. by way of a demerger under Dutch law (the "Demerger") to Iveco Group N.V. (the "Iveco Group"), and the Iveco Group became a public listed company independent from CNH Industrial with its common shares trading on the Euronext Milan, a regulated market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. In connection with the Demerger, shares of Iveco Group N.V. were distributed to shareholders in CNH Industrial N.V. on a pro rata basis. The On-Highway Business' financial results for the periods prior to the Demerger have been reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Operations, retrospectively, as discontinued operations. Additionally, the related assets and liabilities associated with the On-Highway Business are classified as discontinued operations within Assets Held for Distribution and Liabilities Held for Distribution in the prior year of the Consolidated Balance Sheet. Pursuant to the terms of the deeds of demerger entered into between CNH Industrial N.V. and Iveco Group N.V. on January 1, 2022, assets related to the On-Highway Business were transferred to, and liabilities related to the On-Highway Business were retained or assumed by, Iveco Group N.V.
In order to present the financial effects of a Discontinued Operation, revenues and expenses arising from intercompany transactions were eliminated. Eliminations from transactions between Continuing and Discontinued Operations are allocated in full to Discontinued Operations. However, no profit or loss is recognized for intercompany transactions within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The amounts of income statement items included in Discontinued Operations is detailed in the following sections.
Intercompany transactions between Continuing and Discontinued Operations have been eliminated in the consolidated statement of financial position. The net balance between Assets held for distribution and Liabilities held for distribution represents the net equity of the Discontinued Operations. This amount corresponds to the reduction in the total equity of CNH Industrial due to the Demerger that occurred on January 1, 2022.
All cash flows from Discontinued Operations are reported in the appropriate items for operating activities, investing activities and financing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows. The cash flows represent those arising from transactions with third parties.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities of the Iveco Group Business classified as Assets Held for Distribution and Liabilities Held for Distribution as of December 31, 2021.

Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation
CNH Industrial has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include CNH Industrial N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and, unless otherwise indicated, all financial data set forth in these consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNH Industrial’s subsidiaries in which CNH Industrial has a controlling financial interest, and reflect the noncontrolling interests of the minority owners of the subsidiaries that are not fully owned for the periods presented, as applicable. A controlling financial interest may exist based on ownership of a majority of the voting interest of an entity or based on CNH Industrial’s determination that it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company assesses
142
whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis, as prescribed by the accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIEs. The consolidated status of the VIEs with which the Company is involved may change as a result of such reassessments.
Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method when CNH Industrial does not have a controlling interest, but exercises significant influence. Under this method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and is increased or decreased by CNH Industrial’s proportionate share of the entity’s respective net income or loss. Dividends received from these entities reduce the carrying value of the investments.
Business Combinations
Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Under this method, the consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities assumed by the Company and the equity interests issued in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
On November 30, 2021, CNH Industrial completed its acquisition of Raven Industries, Inc. CNH Industrial acquired 100 % of the capital stock of Raven for $ 58 per share funded with available cash on hand. Cash consideration paid to Raven shareholders and Raven equity award holders totaled $ 2.1 billion. Raven, based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, included three business divisions: Applied Technology, Engineered Films and Aerostar. The Applied Technologies division offers precision agricultural technologies in the areas of applications controls, guidance and steering, field computers, boom controls, cloud services and logistics, and injection support. At December 31, 2021, the preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Applied Technologies Division as of the acquisition date included $ 1.3 billion and $ 0.5 billion in preliminary goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the Engineered Films and Aerostar businesses were classified as held for sale with preliminary estimates of $ 0.5 billion in assets held for sale (included in Other Assets) and $ 0.1 billion in liabilities held for sale (included in Other Liabilities). The Engineered Films and Aerostar businesses were subsequently sold during 2022.
The acquisition of Raven has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In Q4 2022, the Company finalized the valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The asset and liability fair values of the remaining Raven business, Applied Technology Division, at the acquisition date are as follows:

Intangible Assets
Customer Relationship $ 145
In-Process R&D 165
Developed Technology 50
Trade Names 74
Goodwill 1,404
Deferred Tax Liability and Other ( 137 )
On December 30, 2021, CNH Industrial completed its purchase of 90 % capital stock of Sampierana S.p.A. ("Sampierana") for approximately $ 100 million. Sampierana is an Italian company specializing in the development, manufacture and commercialization of earthmoving machines, undercarriages and spare parts. In Q4 2022, the Company finalized the valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Sampierana is included in the Company’s Construction segment.
On May 16, 2022, CNH Industrial acquired Specialty Enterprises LLC, a manufacturer of agricultural spray booms and sprayer boom accessories. Total consideration was approximately $ 50 million. The results of Specialty Enterprises have been included in the Company’s Agriculture segment.
Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements
The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include the realizable value of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles; residual values of equipment on operating leases; allowance for credit losses; tax contingencies and valuation allowances; liabilities for warranties; sales allowances; and assets and obligations related to employee benefits. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
143
Revenue Recognition
Revenue is recognized when control of the equipment, services or parts has been transferred and the Company’s performance obligations to the customers have been satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services.
The timing of when the Company transfers the goods or services to the customer may differ from the timing of the customer’s payment.
Revenues are stated net of discounts, allowances, settlement discounts and rebates, as well as costs for sales incentive programs, which are determined on the basis of historical costs, country by country, and charged against profit for the period in which the corresponding sales are recognized.
The Company also enters into contracts with multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company allocates revenue from the transaction price to the distinct goods and services in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. To the extent the Company sells the goods or services separately in the same market, the standalone selling price is the observable price at which the Company sells the goods or services separately. For all other goods or services, the Company estimates the standalone selling price considering all information reasonably available (including market conditions, entity-specific factors and information about the customer or class of customer).
Sales of goods
The Company has determined that the customers from the sale of equipment and parts are generally dealers, distributors, public entities and retail customers.
The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control has transferred to the customer at a sales price that the Company expects to receive. Transfer of control occurs when title and risk of ownership have transferred to the customer, which occurs based upon the terms specified in the contract. In most of the jurisdictions where the Company operates, and subject to specific exceptions, transfer of control occurs upon shipment.
For all sales, no significant uncertainty exists surrounding the purchaser’s obligation to pay for equipment and parts. The Company records appropriate allowance for credit losses and anticipated returns as required. Fixed payment schedules exist for all sales, but payment terms vary by geographic market and product line.
The cost of incentives, if any, are estimated at the inception of a contract at the amount that is expected to be paid and is recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of the sale. If an equipment contract transaction has multiple performance obligations, the cost of incentives is allocated entirely to the equipment as the intent of the incentives is to encourage sales of equipment. If the estimate of the incentive changes following the sale to the customer, the change in estimate is recognized as an adjustment to revenue in the period of the change. CNH Industrial grants certain sales incentives to support sales of its products to retail customers. At the later of the time of sale or the time an incentive is announced to dealers, CNH Industrial records the estimated impact of sales allowances in the form of dealer and customer incentives as a reduction of revenue. Subsequent adjustments to sales incentive programs related to products previously sold are recognized as an adjustment to revenues in the period the adjustment is determinable. The determination of sales allowances requires management to make estimates based upon historical data, estimated future market demand for products, field inventory levels, announced incentive programs, competitive pricing and interest rates, among other things.
With reference to the sales to dealers accompanied by “floor plan” agreements under which the Company offers wholesale financing including “interest-free” financing for specified period of time (which also vary by geographic market and product line), two separate performance obligations exist. The first performance obligation consists of the sale of the equipment from Industrial Activities to the dealer. Concurrent with the sale of the equipment, Industrial Activities offers to the dealer wholesale financing through loans extended by Financial Services. Industrial Activities compensates Financial Services for the cost of the interest-free period. This cost has been determined to represent a cash sale incentive on the initial sale of the good, and therefore it should be recognized upfront as a reduction of net sales of Industrial Activities. The second performance obligation consists of a credit facility extended by Financial Services to the dealer. The remuneration for this performance obligation is represented by the compensation received from Industrial Activities for the period of the interest-free financing and by the interest charged to dealer for the remaining period. This remuneration is recognized by Financial Services over the period of the outstanding exposure.
For parts sales, when the Company provides its customers with a right to return a transferred product, revenue and corresponding cost of sales are recognized for parts that are not expected to be returned. The expected returns are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience. The portion of revenue (and corresponding cost of sales) related to the parts that are expected to be returned is recognized at the end of the return period. The amount received or receivable that is expected to be returned is recognized as a refund liability, representing the obligation to return the customer’s consideration.
Furthermore, at the time of the initial sale, CNH Industrial recognizes a return asset for the right to recover the goods returned by the customer. This asset is initially measured at the former carrying amount of the inventory. At each reporting date, both the refund
144
liability and the return asset are remeasured to record for any revisions to the expected level of returns, as well as any decreases in the value of the returned products.
Rendering of services
Revenues from services provided are primarily comprised of extended warranties and maintenance and repair services and are recognized over the contract period when the costs are incurred, that is when the claims are charged by the dealer. Amounts invoiced to customers for which CNH Industrial receives consideration before the performance is satisfied are recognized as contract liability. These services are either separately-priced or included in the selling price of the equipment. In the second case, revenue for the services is allocated based on the estimated stand-alone selling price. In the event that the costs expected to be incurred to satisfy the remaining performance obligations exceed the transaction price, an estimated contract loss is recognized.
Shipping and other transportation activities performed as an agent are recognized on a net basis, which is netting the related freight cost against the freight revenue.
Finance and interest income
Finance and interest income on receivables is recorded using the effective yield method. Deferred costs on the origination of financing receivables are recognized as a reduction in finance revenue over the expected lives of the receivables using the effective yield method. Recognition of income on loans is suspended when management determines that collection of future income is not probable or when an account becomes 90 days delinquent, whichever occurs earlier. Interest accrual is resumed when and if the receivable becomes contractually current and collection becomes probable. Previously suspended income is recognized at that time. The Company applies cash received on nonaccrual financing receivables to first reduce any unrecognized interest and then the recorded investment and any other fees.
Rents and other income on operating leases
Income from operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.
Sales Allowances
CNH Industrial grants certain sales incentives to support sales of its products to retail customers. The expense for such incentive programs is recorded as a deduction in arriving at the net sales amount at the time of the sale of the product to the dealer. The expense for new programs is accrued at the inception of the program. The amounts of incentives to be paid are estimated based upon historical data, estimated future market demand for products, field inventory levels, announced incentive programs, competitive pricing and interest rates, among other things.
Warranty Costs
At the time a sale of equipment or parts to a dealer is recognized, CNH Industrial records the estimated future base warranty costs for the product. CNH Industrial determines its total warranty liability by applying historical claims rate experience, while considering specific contractual terms, to the park of equipment that has been sold and is still under warranty. Campaigns are formal post-production modification programs approved by management. The liabilities for such programs are recognized when approved, based on an estimate of the total cost of the program.
Advertising
CNH Industrial expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expense totaled $ 152 million , $ 110 million, and $ 82 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Research and Development
Research and development costs are expensed as incurred.
Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the class of assets to which they refer.
All other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred.
145
Government Grants
Government grants are recognized in the financial statements when there is reasonable assurance that the company concerned will comply with the conditions for receiving such grants and that the grants themselves will be received. Government grants are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to offset.
The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant. The benefit of the below-market rate of interest is measured as the difference between the initial carrying amount of the loan (fair value plus transaction costs) and the proceeds received, and is accounted for in accordance with the policies already used for the recognition of government grants.
Foreign Currency
Certain of CNH Industrial’s non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates maintain their books and accounting records using local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and net exchange gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Income and expense accounts of these non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income in the period during which they arise. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in “Other, net” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and also include the cost of hedging instruments. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 the Company recorded net losses of $ 185 million and $ 135 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2020 the Company recorded a net gain of $ 28 million. Included in the net losses in 2022, 2021 and 2020 were charges of $ — million , $ 47 million and $ 56 million (inclusive of impact of discontinued operations) due to the devaluation of net monetary assets of Argentinian subsidiaries in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. There was no impact in 2022 as the functional currency of the Argentinian subsidiary was changed to the US Dollar. As described in Note 15: Financial Instruments, the Company uses hedging instruments to mitigate foreign currency risk. Net of gains realized on foreign currency hedging instruments, the Company recorded a losses of $ 80 million, $ 6 million and $ 17 million for the three years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these investments.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes principal and interest payments from retail notes and wholesale receivables owned by the consolidated VIEs that are payable to the VIEs’ investors, and cash pledged as a credit enhancement to the same investors. These amounts are held by depository banks in order to comply with contractual agreements.
Cash Flow Information
All cash flows from the changes in trade accounts and notes receivable are classified as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows as these receivables arise from sales to CNH Industrial’s customers. Cash flows from financing receivables that are related to sales to CNH Industrial’s dealers are also included in operating activities. CNH Industrial’s financing of receivables related to equipment sold by dealers is included in investing activities.
CNH Industrial paid interest of $ 718 million, $ 539 million, and $ 625 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. For 2022, 2021, and 2020, the amount includes a charge of $ — million , $ 8 million, and $ — million , respectively, in connection with the Company’s accelerated debt redemption strategy.
CNH Industrial paid taxes of $ 717 million, $ 348 million, and $ 80 million in 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
In 2022, Other non-cash items of $ 196 million primarily included share-base payments of $ 87 million and writedowns of financial assets of $ 77 million.
In 2021, Other non-cash items of $ 126 million primarily included share-based payments of $ 90 million and writedowns of financial assets of $ 34 million.
In 2022, Investing Activities - Other primarily consisted of change in intersegment receivable/payable (including with Iveco Group) less proceeds from the sale of the Raven EFD and Aerostar divisions and sale of certain real estate. In 2021, Investing Activities - Other included cash paid for the acquisition of Raven Industries Inc of $ 2.1 billion.
146
Receivables
Receivables are recorded at amortized cost, net of allowances for credit losses and deferred fees and costs.
Periodically, the Company sells or transfers retail notes and wholesale receivables to funding facilities or in securitization transactions. In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding transfers of financial assets and the consolidation of VIEs, the majority of the retail notes and wholesale receivables sold in securitizations do not qualify as sales and are recorded as secured borrowings with no gains or losses recognized at the time of securitization. Receivables associated with these securitization transactions and receivables that the Company has the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future are classified as held for investment. The substantial majority of the Company’s receivables, which include unrestricted receivables and restricted receivables for securitization investors, are classified as held for investment.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the trade receivables and financing receivables owned by the Company. Retail receivables primarily include retail notes and finance leases to end use customers and revolving charge accounts, which represent financing for customers to purchase parts, service, rentals, implements and attachments from CNH Industrial dealers. Wholesale receivables include dealer floorplan financing, and to a lesser extent, the financing of dealer operations. Typically, our receivables within a geographic area have similar risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring risk.
Retail customer receivables that share the same risk characteristics such as, collateralization levels, geography, product type and other relevant factors are reviewed on a collective basis using measurement models and management judgment. The allowance for retail credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation is adjusted for forward looking macroeconomic factors, such as GDP and Net Farm Income. The forward-looking macroeconomic factors are updated quarterly. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.
Trade and wholesale receivables that share the same risk characteristics such as, collateralization levels, term, geography and other relevant factors are reviewed on a collective basis using measurement models and management judgment. The allowance for trade and wholesale credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation is adjusted for forward-looking macroeconomic factors, such as industry sales volumes. The forward-looking macroeconomic factors are updated quarterly. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.
Retail, trade and wholesale receivables that do not have similar risk characteristics are individually reviewed based on, among other items, amounts outstanding, days past due and prior collection history. Expected credit losses are measured by considering: the probability-weighted estimates of cash flows and collateral value; the time value of money; current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls (including the value of the collateral, if appropriate) over the expected life of each financial asset.
Charge-offs of principal amounts of receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance at the point when it is determined to be probable that all amounts due will not be collected. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and charged off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days.
Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, other direct costs and production overheads.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred.
Assets held under finance leases, which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are recognized as assets of the Company at the lower of fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the financial statements as debt.
147
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:
Category Lives
Buildings and improvements 10 — 40 years
Plant, machinery and equipment 5 — 25 years
Other equipment 3 — 10 years
The following paragraph presents the Company’s policy for leases for which it is a lessee.
Lease policy
A lease is a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset (the leased asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The lease term determined by the Company comprises the non-cancellable period of lease contract together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. For real estate leases, this assessment is based on an analysis by management of all relevant facts and circumstances including the leased asset’s purpose, the economic and practical potential for replacing and any plans that the Company has in place for the future use of the asset. For lease agreements, we combine lease and non-lease components.
For leases with terms not exceeding twelve months (short-term leases), the Company recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term as operating expense in the income statement.
For all other leases, the right-of-use asset includes the amount of lease liability recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Correspondingly, the Company recognizes a lease liability, measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is determined considering macro-economic factors such as the specific interest rate curve based on the relevant currency and term, as well as specific factors contributing to CNH Industrial’s credit spread. The Company primarily uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for its lease liabilities.
For finance leases, the right-of-use asset is classified within Property, plant and equipment, net and the lease liability, within Debt. Assets held under finance leases, which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are recognized as assets of the Company at the lower of fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments.
In case of operating leases, the right-of-use asset is classified within Other assets and the lease liability, within Other liabilities. After the commencement date, the Company recognizes in profit or loss a single lease cost, calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. In particular, after lease commencement, the lease liability is measured at the present value of any remaining lease payments, discounted by using the rate determined at lease commencement, consistently with the model used to calculate the liability related to the finance lease. Correspondingly, the right-of-use asset is measured as the lease liability adjusted by accrued or prepaid rents (i.e., the aggregate difference between the cash payment and straight-line lease cost), remaining unamortized initial direct costs and lease incentives, and any impairments of the right-of-use asset.
Equipment on Operating Leases
Financial Services purchases leases and equipment from CNH Industrial dealers and other independent third parties that have leased equipment to retail customers under operating leases. Financial Services’ investment in operating leases is based on the purchase price paid for the equipment. Income from these operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease to the estimated residual value at lease termination. Residual values are estimated at the inception of the lease and are reviewed quarterly. Realization of the residual values is dependent on Financial Services’ future ability to re-market the equipment under then prevailing market conditions. Equipment model changes and updates, as well as market strength and product acceptance, are monitored and adjustments are made to residual values in accordance with the significance of any such changes. Management believes that the estimated residual values are realizable. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs of the applicable equipment are the responsibility of the lessee.
Financial Services evaluates the carrying amount of equipment on operating leases for potential impairment when it determines a triggering event has occurred. When a triggering event occurs, a test for recoverability is performed comparing projected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset. If the test for recoverability identifies a possible impairment, the asset’s fair value is measured in accordance with the fair value measurement framework. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value.
Equipment returned to the Company upon termination of leases and held for subsequent sale or lease is recorded in inventory at the lower of net book value or estimated fair value of the equipment, less cost to sell, and is not depreciated.
148
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually. At December 31, 2021 and 2022, the Company performed its annual impairment review and concluded there was no impairment to goodwill for the other reporting units.
Other intangibles consist primarily of acquired dealer networks, trademarks, product drawings, patents, and software. Other intangibles with indefinite lives principally consist of acquired trademarks which have no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factor that limits their useful life. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Other intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 25 years.
Reference is made to “Note 9: Goodwill and Other Intangibles” for further information regarding goodwill and other intangible assets.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
CNH Industrial evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset to be tested for possible impairment, CNH Industrial compares the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Income Taxes
The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. CNH Industrial recognizes a current tax liability or asset for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year and tax contingencies estimated to be settled with taxing authorities within one year. A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and tax attributes. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized based on available evidence.
Retirement and Post-employment Benefits
CNH Industrial sponsors numerous defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, the assets of which are held in separate trustee-administered funds. The pension plans are funded by payments from CNH Industrial. The cost of providing defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefits is calculated based upon actuarial valuations. The liability for termination indemnities is accrued in accordance with labor legislation in each country where such benefits are required. CNH Industrial contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement during the period of the employee’s service.
Derivatives
CNH Industrial’s policy is to enter into derivative transactions to manage exposures that arise in the normal course of business and not for trading or speculative purposes. CNH Industrial records derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. The fair value of CNH Industrial’s foreign exchange derivatives is based on quoted market exchange rates, adjusted for the respective interest rate differentials (premiums or discounts). The fair value of CNH Industrial’s interest rate derivatives is based on discounting expected cash flows, using market interest rates, over the remaining term of the instrument. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in current income unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For derivative financial instruments designated to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the related hedged item. For derivative financial instruments designated to hedge exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, the derivative financial instrument’s gain or loss is initially reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into income when the forecasted transaction affects income. For derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedges but held as economic hedges, the gain or loss is recognized immediately in income.
For derivative financial instruments designated as hedges, CNH Industrial formally documents the hedging relationship to the hedged item and its risk management strategy for all derivatives designated as hedges. This includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities contained in the consolidated balance sheets and linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow. CNH Industrial assesses the effectiveness of its hedging instruments both at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable of occurring, the hedge accounting described above is discontinued and the derivative is marked to fair value and recorded in income through the remainder of its term.
149
Reference is made to “Note 15: Financial Instruments,” for further information regarding CNH Industrial’s use of derivative financial instruments.
Share-Based Compensation Plans
CNH Industrial recognizes all share-based compensation as an expense based on the fair value of each award on the grant date. CNH Industrial recognizes share-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of an award.
Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares and dilutive share equivalents outstanding during each period. Unvested performance-based awards are considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted earnings per share based on the number of shares that would vest if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period.
