chain disruptions, including delays caused by mandated shutdowns, industry capacity constraints, material availability, and global logistics delays and constraints; 
disruption caused by business responses to COVID-19, including remote working arrangements, which may create increased vulnerability to cybersecurity or data 
privacy  incidents;  our  ability  to  execute  business  continuity  plans  as  a  result  of  COVID-19;  the  many  interrelated  factors  that  affect  consumer  confidence  and 
worldwide demand for capital goods and capital goods-related products, including demand uncertainty caused by COVID-19; general economic conditions in each 
of our markets, including the significant economic uncertainty and volatility caused by COVID-19; travel bans, border closures, other free movement restrictions, and 
the introduction of social distancing measures in our facilities may affect in the future our ability to operate as well as the ability of our suppliers and distributors 
to operate; changes in government policies regarding banking, monetary and fiscal policy; legislation, particularly pertaining to capital goods-related issues such as

initiatives as part of our strategic plan; our failure to realize, or a delay in realizing, all of the anticipated benefits of our acquisitions, joint ventures, strategic alliances 
or divestitures and other similar risks and uncertainties, and our success in managing the risks involved in the foregoing. 

Forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions relating to the factors described in this Annual Report, which are sometimes based upon estimates and 
data received from third parties. Such estimates and data are often revised. Actual results may differ materially from the forward-looking statements as a result of a

BOARD OF DIRECTORSAND AUDITORLETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

LETTER FROM 
  THE CHAIR 
AND THE CHIEF 
EXECUTIVE OFFICER

DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,

This year presented us with a wide range of challenges and opportunities, ranging 
from ongoing supply chain shortages to the largest acquisition in CNH Industrial’s 
history.  Despite  this,  our  indefatigable  team  rose  to  the  occasion  and  not  only 
navigated these, but also delivered record financial results. 

Paramount in 2021 was completing the spin-off of our On-Highway business to create 
two strong and separately listed industrial players: CNH Industrial (NYSE/MI: CNHI), focused 
on agriculture and construction, and Iveco Group (MI: IVG), focused on commercial and mass 
transport, powertrain technologies and specialty vehicles. Our team planned and executed this 
flawlessly,  and  we  are  incredibly  excited  about  the  future  of  each  company  as  they  address  their 
respective markets with renewed focus and vigor. 

Alongside completing the critical last steps needed to prepare for the spin, we also continued to deliver for our 
customers. In doing this we relied heavily on the lessons we learnt during the initial phases of the pandemic which have made us more 
resilient and better positioned to achieve our strategic priorities. Though the pandemic persisted through 2021, we were able to find ways to 
continue to operate the business, working closely with our suppliers and dealers, while helping our employees readjust to new ways of working.  

To support this effort, we also changed our organization during 2021, making it leaner, flatter and more agile so that it can better respond to 
the dynamic demand and delivery environment in which we now operate. In our new organization we have more than doubled the number of 
employees in customer facing roles. This means that we have much greater insight into the market opportunities for our products and are better 
able to address those opportunities. 

Alongside our work on the spin and our structure, and despite the need to continue to navigate a challenging supplier environment, we were 
still able to achieve record financial results in 2021, both as one company and separately as CNH Industrial and Iveco Group. We would like to 
congratulate and thank all of our colleagues that made this performance possible.  

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
CNH Industrial reported strong full year performance in 2021, its final year of operations as a combined Off- and On-Highway entity.  We delivered 
consolidated revenues of $33.5 billion, up 29% from the previous year.  Both our adjusted EBIT from our Industrial Activities at $2,086 million(1) 
and our full year Net Income at $1.8 billion (which translates to $1.28 in earnings per share) were the highest in our Company’s history.  Market 
driven volume and disciplined pricing were key drivers of our record earnings, alongside the team’s successful execution, which they achieved while 
often managing very challenging supply chain and logistics issues. We also recorded another very strong year for positive free cash flow of Industrial 
Activities(1), at over $1.8 billion as our operational execution improved.

MARKING TWO DISTINCT PATHS TO SUCCESS
Our Off-Highway and On-Highway businesses both announced important acquisitions, joint ventures and memorandums of understanding during 
2021. These have given both of these businesses significant additional access to new technologies that will play important roles in their futures. 

On the Off-Highway side of our business, now CNH Industrial, we announced the acquisition of Raven Industries. This acquisition, the largest 
in CNH Industrial’s history, brings a US-based leader in precision agriculture technology into our company, tremendously enhancing our technical 
capabilities. By combining CNH Industrial’s strong engineering heritage with Raven’s technology, we will be able to introduce best-in-class products 
and solutions that deliver the improved productivity and yields farmers desire.

During 2021, also within our Off-Highway business, our construction equipment leadership has successfully been pursuing a turnaround plan. We 
built on this work by acquiring Sampierana S.p.A., a construction equipment company based in Italy. Sampierana’s Eurocomach line enhances both 
our mini and midi excavator portfolio and our electrification capabilities. We also announced a minority stake and exclusive multi-year technology 
licensing agreement with US-based agricultural technology company Monarch Tractor to further our efforts in electrification and autonomy in 
agriculture.

non-GAAP financial measures.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIRLETTER FROM THE CHAIR AND THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Our On-Highway business, now Iveco Group, held its first Investor Day in November 2021, in which it shared details of its future business, its 
strategy and its financial ambitions through to 2026. Last year also saw the official inauguration of our joint investment with the US-Based Nikola 
Corporation for heavy-duty Battery Electric Vehicles in Ulm, Germany, and the start of production from that site. 

In 2021, our On-Highway business began working with the French multinational Air Liquide to accelerate the development of heavy-duty hydrogen 
mobility  in  Europe. It also made  a  significant step forward in announcing a Memorandum of Understanding with US-based PlusAI to develop 
autonomous trucks and launch an autonomous trucking pilot program in Europe and China. 

OUR SHARED ESG SUCCESS
We were delighted that in 2021 we were again recognized as a sustainability leader in relation to both our facilities and our products. This included 
being named as an Industry top scorer in the Dow Jones Sustainability World and Europe Indexes for the 11th consecutive year; being recognized 
with  a  prestigious  double  ‘A’  score  for  global  climate  and  water  stewardship  by  the  CDP;  earning  an  “S&P  Global  Gold  Class”  in  S&P’s  2022 
Sustainability Yearbook; and achieving an EcoVadis Platinum medal in its prestigious annual sustainability assessment. Both CNH Industrial and Iveco 
Group remain fully committed to their sustainability goals and these form an important part of each of their future plans.

2022 AS THE NEW CNH INDUSTRIAL
We have carried great momentum from 2021 into our first year as a fully focused agriculture and construction player, starting with announcing our 
strong pro forma results and, at our Capital Markets Day in February, unveiling our updated three-year strategic plan. Our plan prioritizes five key 
areas: Customer-Inspired Innovation; Technology Leadership; Brand and Dealer Strength; Operational Excellence; and Sustainability Stewardship. 
Our plan, which we have based around the needs and expectations of the farmers and construction professionals whom we serve, will enable us to 
provide them with the world-class products and technologies they need to make their businesses ever more successful.

This plan is supported by our CNH Industrial Business System, which we are using to drive ongoing operational improvements across our activities. 
We will also continue to evolve our culture, making our company more attractive to diverse groups, helping colleagues from different backgrounds 
build successful careers and ensuring that all colleagues are rewarded not only for delivering results, but also for doing so in the right way.

Underlying and impelling all of this is our company purpose, revealed at our Capital Markets Day of  Breaking New Ground. This purpose 
captures our intention to move ahead of others, continually searching for better solutions and breakthrough ideas. To achieve this, we will focus on 
three supporting pillars - Innovation, Sustainability and Productivity. We will be innovative in our product launches, technology investments 
and approach to doing business. Sustainability is our North Star and at the heart of every strategic decision we take. And underlying all of this is 
productivity – helping us and the world’s farmers and construction professionals to do more, with less, and thus enabling them to realize their 
businesses’ full potential.

2022 guidance(*)
While we are pleased with our 2021 results, we continue to expect supply chain challenges in 2022, which are likely to diminish in the second half 
of the year. As these subside, we expect production and retail sales to increase.

We are therefore providing the following guidance for our 2022 Industrial Activities outlook:

	 Net sales(**) to grow 10% to 14% including currency translation effects;

	 SG&A expenses lower or equal to 7.5% of net sales;

	 Free Cash Flow in excess of $1 billion;

	 R&D expenses and Capital expenditures up at around $1.4 billion from around $1.0 billion in 2021.

In closing, we want again to wish Gerrit Marx, his leadership team and the entire Iveco Group organization the very best as they move forward with 
great energy in their first year of independent operations. We are excited to see what our two strong companies will achieve with their unleashed 
potentials. 

We also want to thank you, our valued shareholders, for your continued support. We look forward to delivering great results and rolling out new, 
customer-inspired developments that will advance agriculture and construction and provide you with progressive returns.

Sincerely,

SUZANNE HEYWOOD

PRESENTATION  
 OF FINANCIAL AND CERTAIN   
OTHER INFORMATION

CNH  Industrial  N.V.  (“CNH  Industrial”)  is  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  Netherlands.  CNH  Industrial  has  its  corporate  seat  in 
Amsterdam,  the  Netherlands,  and  its  principal  office  in  London,  England,  United  Kingdom.  Unless  otherwise  indicated  or  the  context 
otherwise requires, as used in this Annual Report, the terms “CNH Industrial”, “we”, “us”, and “our”, refer to CNH Industrial N.V. together 
with its consolidated subsidiaries.

CNH Industrial presents its Consolidated Financial Statements, prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards 
(“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and adopted by the European Union (“EU-IFRS”). 

CNH Industrial reports quarterly and annual financial results both under accounting standards generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. 
GAAP”) for SEC reporting purposes and under EU-IFRS for European listing purposes and for Dutch law requirements. The reconciliation 
from EU-IFRS figures to U.S. GAAP is presented, on a voluntary basis, in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. Financial 
statements under both sets of accounting principles use the U.S. dollar as the presentation currency. Until December 31, 2021, prior to the 
demerger occurred on January 1, 2022 (as described in the Business Overview chapter) CNH Industrial reported its operations under five 
segments: Agriculture, Construction, Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, Powertrain, and Financial Services. The activities carried out by 
Agriculture, Construction, Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, and Powertrain, as well as corporate functions, are collectively referred to 
as “Industrial Activities”. 

We have prepared our annual consolidated financial statements presented in this Annual Report in accordance with EU-IFRS and with Part 
9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Our consolidated financial statements are prepared with the U.S. dollar as the presentation currency 
and, unless otherwise indicated, all financial data set forth in this Annual Report are expressed in U.S. dollars. 

Certain financial information in this report has been presented by geographic region. Our geographic regions are: (1) North America; (2) 
Europe; (3) South America and (4) Rest of World. The geographic designations have the following meanings: 

	 North America: United States, Canada and Mexico; 

	 Europe: member countries of the European Union, European Free Trade Association, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Balkans; 

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

	 Rest of World: Continental Asia (including Turkey and Russia), Oceania and member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent 
States, the African continent, and Middle East. 

Certain industry and market share information in this Annual Report has been presented on a worldwide basis which includes all countries. 
In this Annual Report, management estimates of market share information are generally based on retail unit sales data in North America, 
on registrations of equipment in most of Europe, Brazil, and various Rest of World markets, and on retail and shipment unit data collected 
by a central information bureau appointed by equipment manufacturers associations, including the Association of Equipment Manufacturers 
in North America, the Committee for European Construction Equipment in Europe, the Associação Nacional dos Fabricantes de Veículos 
Automotores (“ANFAVEA”) in Brazil, the Japan Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association, and the Korea Construction Equipment 
Manufacturers Association, as well as on other shipment data collected by independent service bureaus. Not all agricultural or construction 
equipment  is  registered,  and  registration  data  may  thus  underestimate,  perhaps  substantially,  actual  retail  industry  unit  sales  demand, 
particularly for local manufacturers in China, Southeast Asia, Eastern Europe, Russia, Turkey, Brazil, and any country where local shipments 
are not reported. For Commercial Vehicles, regions are defined as: Europe (the 27 countries where our Commercial Vehicles business 
competes,  excluding  the  United  Kingdom  and  Ireland,  for  market  share  and  total  industry  volume  (“TIV”)  reporting  purposes),  South 
America (Brazil, Argentina and Venezuela) and Rest of World (Russia, Turkey, South East Asia, Australia and New Zealand). In addition, 
there may be a period of time between the shipment, delivery, sale and/or registration of a unit, which must be estimated, in making any 
adjustments to the shipment, delivery, sale, or registration data to determine our estimates of retail unit data in any period.

BOARD REPORTPRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL AND CERTAIN OTHER INFORMATIONOUR COMMITMENT 
 TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 
AND LONG-TERM VALUE CREATION

CNH  Industrial  is  committed  to  a  better  future,  integrating  sustainability  in  its  day-to-day  activities  and 
involving  all  employees.  The  full  integration  of  environmental  and  social  considerations  with  economic 
objectives enables the Group to identify potential risks and seize additional development opportunities, 
resulting in a process of continuous, and sustainable, improvement that creates value over the long-term. 

As evidence of this, CNH Industrial included strategic sustainability targets in its Strategic Business Plan that 
are in line with the Company’s priorities; these in turn are based on internal assessment and stakeholder 
engagement.

The priorities and targets are aligned with the six UN Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) most relevant to CNH Industrial:

	 SDG 2: Zero hunger - end hunger, achieve food security and improved nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture;

	 SDG 3: Good health and well-being - ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages;

	 SDG  8:  Decent  work  and  economic  growth  -  promote  sustained,  inclusive,  and  sustainable  economic  growth,  full  and  productive 
employment, and decent work for all;

	 SDG 10: Reduced inequalities - reduce inequality within and among countries;

	 SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production - ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns; 

	 SDG 13: Climate action - take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts.

These SDGs will inspire CNH Industrial’s future endeavors in terms of sustainability targets, practices, and projects.

CNH Industrial 
supports the SDGs

The targets were incorporated into the Sustainability Plan, which expresses CNH Industrial’s commitment to contribute to development 
in harmony with people and the environment. The Sustainability Plan, which also includes short-term targets, is updated annually to report 
the progress of existing projects and establish new targets to ensure continuous improvement, essential for long-term growth and value 
creation.

The  Sustainability  Model  facilitates  the  identification  of  aspirational  goals  and  strategic  sustainability  targets.  The  Model  illustrates  the 
relationship between CNH Industrial and the external drivers that affect its business (or have the potential to do so) and provides an 
overview of how the Group is structured to deal with and manage them. These external drivers are the variables that continuously feed, 
guide, and steer the internal mechanisms of CNH Industrial. They consist of global challenges, customer needs, and the regulatory framework.

the globe and emerging social needs. Customer needs identify customer priorities and demand for products and services. The regulatory 
framework fosters continuous improvement through legislation, regulation, and industry standards.

CNH Industrial responds to these external drivers with a shared corporate purpose, defined as “Powering Sustainable Transformation”, 
and an individual purpose for each segment, consistent across the Group and viable over the medium-to-long term, as well as with a set of 
values that lie at the core of CNH Industrial’s day-to-day activities.

CNH Industrial’s purpose and values are implemented through:

	 strategic planning, including medium-to-long term targets;

	 a system of principles, rules, and procedures in which roles and responsibilities are clearly defined; and 

	 a process that anticipates and manages current and future economic, environmental, and social risks and opportunities.

Moving closer to the core of the Model, the emphasis shifts from strategy and governance to the operational aspects of the Group. These 
consist of processes and applications such as manufacturing and logistics, product development and innovation, and employee behavior and 
stakeholder engagement, all of which must be integrated into the entire value chain to achieve CNH Industrial’s core objective: the creation 
of sustainable, long-term value for all stakeholders.

Sustainability is a core element of CNH Industrial’s Corporate Governance, with senior management playing a direct and active role. The 
Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee (the “Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee”) of the Board of Directors 
(“Board”) is responsible for, among other things, assisting the Board in: monitoring and evaluating reports on CNH Industrial’s sustainable

BOARD REPORTOUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND LONG-TERM VALUE CREATION 
 
 
CNH Industrial has established an organizational structure made up of global and regional sustainability committees and the Sustainability 
Team in order to optimize the management of sustainability aspects within the Group.

The Sustainability Steering Committee (“SSC”) is a committee of the Senior Leadership Team (“SLT”), and is responsible for identifying 
sustainability  strategies,  integrating  them  with  business  needs,  adopting  a  medium-to-long  term  vision,  and  providing  a  forum  for 
communication and benchmarking among the geographic areas.

The SSC is chaired by the Chief Diversity & Inclusion, Sustainability and Transformation Officer, and is coordinated by the Sustainability Unit. 
The permanent members of the committee are the SLT members.

The Sustainability Team is a network of experts responsible for incorporating sustainability criteria more effectively into Company strategy 
and for ensuring the necessary support for sustainability planning and reporting. The Sustainability Team is overseen by the Chief Diversity 
& Inclusion, Sustainability and Transformation Officer and comprises personnel with global expertise (the Sustainability Unit and twenty-
five Sustainability Points of Reference), as well as the Global Social Initiatives team, composed of the representatives for local community 
initiatives. 

CNH Industrial’s sustainability management system consists of the following tools:

	 the Code of Conduct, approved by the Board of Directors, and related policies that set out the Company’s approach to key topics; 

	 a set of policies to manage specific issues, as well as the Human Capital Management Guidelines, Green Logistics Principles, and the 
Supplier Code of Conduct; 

	 the materiality analysis, which defines social and environmental priorities; 

	 stakeholder engagement on material topics; 

	 a set of approximately 200 sustainability-related Key Performance Indicators, designed to provide comprehensive coverage of all the 
key environmental, social, and governance aspects, in line with the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards (“GRI Standards”) and the 
Sustainability Accounting Standards (“SASB Standards”) and those of the major sustainability rating agencies;

	 the  Sustainability  Plan,  also  including  the  strategic  sustainability  targets,  which  identifies  action  priorities  and  tracks  commitments 
undertaken; and

	 the annual Sustainability Report, which discloses the Company’s sustainability performance.

The Sustainability Report, prepared on a voluntary basis and in line with GRI Standards and SASB Standards, integrates the economic 
aspects described herein with a comprehensive view of the environmental and social performance of CNH Industrial’s operations. 

Materiality analysis 
The materiality analysis is a tool that CNH Industrial uses to ensure close alignment between the material topics identified and the Company’s 
business decisions, increasingly integrating sustainability principles into the Company’s daily activities. According to this approach, topics are 
considered material if they reflect CNH Industrial’s economic, environmental, and social impact, or influence the decisions of stakeholders. 

In the past six years, the material topics have been evaluated through stakeholder engagement to assess: 

	 their relevance to CNH Industrial, based on feedback from the SSC members (feedback updated in 2019); 

	 their relevance to stakeholders, based on feedback from a sample of 2,068 stakeholders (55 in 2021) including employees, customers, 
dealers, opinion leaders, public institutions, non-governmental organizations, investors, and journalists.

CNH Industrial managers and stakeholders were engaged through an online survey or direct interviews. They were asked to evaluate the 
14 material topics identified, ranking the five most significant based on their impact on the economy, the environment, and society. 

CNH Industrial’s Materiality Matrix reflects how frequently each material topic was selected. It was shared with the SLT members, reviewed 
by the SSC, and reviewed and approved by the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The final phase involved third party assurance of compliance, 
in which the Matrix development process was audited by an independent company. 

CNH Industrial also performed a specific analysis in order to identify the link between the SDGs most relevant to the business (the 6 SDGs 
aligned with the commitments stated in the Sustainability Plan) and the 14 material topics. A circle’s size in the matrix reflects the degree to 
which the corresponding topic matches an SDG.

The Materiality Matrix confirms the greater significance of business-related aspects, in line with the sustainability priorities defined within 
CNH Industrial’s Strategic Business Plan. Specifically, from a circular economy perspective, the material topic Circular product life-cycle was 
considered, both within and outside the Company, as one of the most relevant to CNH Industrial, highlighting the importance of adopting 
alternative solutions that minimize the impact of a product’s life-cycle. CO2 and other air emissions was also one of the most relevant topics, 
considering not only the impact of manufacturing processes, but also of the entire value chain (logistics, supply chain, and product use). 
Even the topic Occupational health and safety ranked among the most relevant to both the Company and its stakeholders, highlighting the 
importance of an approach based on effective preventive and protective measures that involves all employees.

Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures
CNH Industrial is committed to climate change mitigation and aims for full transparency in its management of climate-related risks and 
opportunities through the disclosures provided in this section, in accordance with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-
related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”). The following section contains four thematic areas showing how the Company is addressing climate-
change risks and opportunities: Governance, Strategy, Risk Management, and Metrics and Targets. For further details, please see the TCFD 
correspondence table at the end of this section. 

Governance 
The  highest  responsibility  for  defining  and  implementing  the  strategy  of  CNH  Industrial  is  assigned  to  the  Board  of  Directors.  The 
Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible, among other things, for assisting the 
Board in reviewing and guiding the strategy and risk management policies related to climate change. Moreover, the Committee is responsible 
for  monitoring  the  implementation  of  the  measures  to  meet  climate  change  targets,  such  as  CO2 emissions  and  energy  efficiency.  The 
Committee meets quarterly and, at least twice per year, the Chief Diversity & Inclusion, Sustainability and Transformation Officer updates 
the Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee on the progress of CO2 emissions reduction and energy efficiency in manufacturing 
and logistic processes, as well as for suppliers.

At the management level, the highest responsibility for initiatives focusing on energy efficiency and on the management of CO2 emissions at 
CNH Industrial lies with the Senior Leadership Team (“SLT”). 

SLT members are also members of the Sustainability Steering Committee (“SSC”). The SSC is responsible for defining sustainability 
strategy and for integrating sustainability aspects into operating processes, and is chaired by the Chief Diversity & Inclusion, Sustainability 
and Transformation Officer.

The operating segments of the Company are fully responsible for the global growth and performance of their respective businesses, 
thereby increasing focus and accountability. For this reason, the different segments have nominated specific committees responsible for the 
implementation and monitoring of the Company’s strategy. Climate-change issues are regularly discussed by these committees to ensure 
responsible management of climate risks and to identify trends and opportunities, including potential impacts of new product development 
and new market considerations. 

16

BOARD REPORTOUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND LONG-TERM VALUE CREATIONAdditionally, the Risk Management Center of Competence addresses all stages of pure risk(3) management, including risk identification, 
analysis, and treatment (including loss prevention).

To further align the management commitment to climate-change mitigation, part of the CEO’s and other SLT members’ remuneration 
is linked to the sustainability targets, such as the reduction of CO2 emissions per production unit. The remuneration of the management is 
reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Objectives are defined for business unit and energy 
managers and are related to energy consumption reduction and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. Targets are included in the 
Performance Management Process.

Strategy
CNH  Industrial’s  strategy  is  framed  within  the  Company’s  purpose,  defined  as  “Powering  Sustainable  Transformation”,  which 
incorporates a set of values that lie at the core of the Company’s day-to-day activities and are intrinsically linked to its future business 
success. Specific to climate change, and as described further below, CNH Industrial has an established risk management process that includes 
the assessment and monitoring of climate-related risk. These assessments are used by the Company to identify not only risk exposure, 
but  also  opportunities,  on  which  the  Company’s  climate  change  strategy  is  based.  The  identification  of  these  climate-related  risks  and 
opportunities, along with the analysis of sustainability macrotrends, led to the definition of a decarbonization strategy, which in turn 
has been incorporated within, and regularly influences, the Company’s Strategic Business Plan. To further address the potential impacts of 
climate change, CNH Industrial has implemented relevant projects and a number of other specific climate-related topics and has defined 
long-term strategic targets.

Climate-related risks and opportunities are embedded within CNH Industrial’s strategy to ensure resiliency of its business model in light of 
shifting global challenges. The Company has established specific functions and structures within its respective operating segments to monitor 
the  relevant  emerging  policies  and  regulatory  developments  at  local  and  global  level  (especially  in  Europe,  where  regulatory 
pressure is more significant). Resulting analyses are incorporated within the Company strategy to ensure full compliance with applicable laws. 
The shift in consumer preferences and demand toward sustainable transport solutions, driven by both an increase in climate-related 
awareness  and strong stimulus coming from regulators, may result in potential risks for  manufacturers that must adapt to the  evolving 
market. To counter this, CNH Industrial applies these evolutions in the development of its product portfolio to steer the focus of research 
and  development  toward  sustainable  technologies  (e.g.,  “green”  fuels,  electric  and  hydrogen  propulsion  technologies,  digitalization 
and related intelligent capabilities that include precision farming and smart water management, etc.). The Company also takes advantage of 
collaboration with strategic business partners, startups, and external expertise in the emerging technology sector. 

To ensure the timely delivery of its strategy, the Company has established specific targets linked to the environmental performance of its 
manufacturing processes, logistics, and product portfolio, as outlined in the section Metrics and Targets below.

CNH Industrial developed a scenario analysis which led to the identification of the Internal Price of Carbon (“IPoC”), an indicator that 
enables it to prioritize energy-saving projects based on their ability to generate the greatest reduction in CO2 emissions. The IPoC is used 
as a decision-making tool whenever an initiative is presented to the Company’s Investment Committee.

(3)   Pure risks are risks resulting from natural causes or accidental or malicious acts (fires, explosions, floods, etc.) that may result not only in damage to goods or facilities, but also in the 

short or long-term interruption of operations.

17

BOARD REPORTOUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND LONG-TERM VALUE CREATIONRisk Management
Enterprise Risk Management
Risk management is an important component of CNH Industrial’s overall culture and is integral to the achievement of its long-term business 
plan. Accordingly, the Company’s Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) process has been designed to assist in the identification, evaluation, 
and prioritization of business risks, followed by a coordinated and balanced application of resources to minimize, monitor, and control the 
probability or impact of adverse events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. 

The ERM process is linked to the Company’s Sustainability Program and its strategic sustainability targets and aspirational goals, including 
those related to climate change, which are articulated in the Company’s Strategic Business Plan.  

The effects of climate change represent a key emerging risk to CNH Industrial and, as referenced above, examples of the Company’s related 
mitigation actions include investments in technology as part of its decarbonization strategy, and efforts to reduce energy consumption in 
manufacturing processes.

More details on CNH Industrial’s enterprise risk management process, including its risk appetite for individual risk categories, can be found 
in the Risk Management and Control System section of this Report.

Pure Risk Management
In  order  to  strengthen  sustainability  and  resilience  within  CNH  Industrial,  the  Company  also  works  to  develop  and  launch  forward-
looking solutions to better understand the impacts of natural hazards and to respond accordingly. The ability to assess the losses and 
costs associated with natural hazards is essential for better decision making on hazard-mitigation investments and planning.

CNH Industrial’s Risk Management function has developed an innovative risk management methodology in collaboration with the Company’s 
EHS (Environment Health & Safety) departments, a major international consultancy and certification firm, and an insurance partner. This 
methodology has enabled CNH Industrial to: (i) obtain objective, quantified knowledge of insurable environmental exposures; (ii) improve 
risk profiles according to the segments’ EHS strategies; (iii) identify and clearly communicate priorities and benefits; (iv) effectively inform 
the insurance market about the loss prevention activities in place to prevent or mitigate potential environmental losses; (v) obtain adequate 
environmental  insurance  coverage,  commensurate  with  risk  exposures  and  current  loss  prevention  activities;  (vi)  carry  out  prevention 
activities in line with Company strategies. These activities provided the basis for the development of the Company’s first environmental 
maps, which quantify the overall level of risk using a scientific, certified self-assessment tool. The results were presented to the insurance 
market as evidence that CNH Industrial’s environmental risks are known, well-quantified, and properly managed. The results also led to 
comprehensive global insurance coverage. A similar approach is being followed for earthquake and flood risks.

EU Taxonomy on sustainable activities 
The EU taxonomy classification system establishes a list of environmentally sustainable economic activities, supporting the EU Green Deal 
objectives. The Regulation provides appropriate definitions for which economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable. 
There are six environmental targets in the EU Taxonomy, two of which are now regulated: Climate Change Mitigation and Climate Change 
Adaptation, while the remaining four will be regulated during 2022. 

For each objective, the EU taxonomy provides a list of economic activities that can substantially contribute to it, provided that the activity 
meets the related technical screening criteria(1).

For this first year of reporting, companies are required to disclose the proportion of turnover, capital expenditure (CapEx), and operating 
expenditure (OpEx) of taxonomy eligible and non-eligible activities related to climate change objectives: i.e. those activities included within 
Annexes 1 and 2 of Delegated Act 2139/2021 irrespective of whether they meet any or all of the technical screening criteria laid down in 
those delegated acts. The assessment of the actual alignment with the technical screening criteria is required from the next reporting year.

CNH Industrial activities considered eligible according to the EU taxonomy are included in two economic activity groups: Manufacture of 
low carbon technologies for transport (3.3), and Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars, and light commercial vehicles (6.5). 

After investigating and consulting on EU Taxonomy’s list of activities, the KPIs related are included in the table below.

Regulation (EU) 2020/852

21

BOARD REPORTOUR COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT AND LONG-TERM VALUE CREATIONAccounting Policy (1.2.1)
For the determination of the KPIs, the Group’s Sustainability department, and the Accounting and Finance Department were involved, 
which, based on the indications given in Annex 1 to Delegated Act 2178/2021, identified the values to be included in the KPIs from the 
balance sheet items, as described in the next paragraph.

In the numerator, only the balance sheet items related to the identified activities (3.3 and 6.5) were considered. For the calculation of the 
denominator, all the items provided for by the regulations at a consolidated CNH Industrial N.V. level were included, as specified within the 
contextual information paragraph.

Assessment of compliance with Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (1.2.2)
Group identified two taxonomy eligible activities:

	 Manufacture  of  low  carbon  technologies  for  transport  (3.3),  considering  the  sales  from  the  Commercial  Vehicles  segment  (CV) 
manufactured by the Group and vehicle maintenance and repair. Revenues from the sale of spare parts and individual components are 
excluded from the numerator.  

	 Transport by motorbikes, passenger cars, and light commercial vehicles (6.5), considering active leasings for CV vehicles.

To avoid any double counting in the calculation of the KPIs, the values were determined directly from the items included in the financial 
statement of CNH Industrial N.V. 

Contextual information (1.2.3)
Turnover KPI:

a.  The denominator was identified based on Group’s consolidated net turnover from industrial activities.

b.  The numerator was identified including net sales from sales of Trucks and Buses (New and Used) and Services, revenues from repair 
and maintenance, and leasing fees. Revenues related to Specialty Vehicles (Defence and Fire Fighting), from the remaining segments of 
the industrial activities, and revenues from Spare Parts are excluded.

CapEx KPI:

a.  The denominator consists of additions to tangible and intangible fixed assets during the financial year, before depreciation, amortization, 
and any re-measurements, including those resulting from revaluations and impairments, as well as excluding changes in fair value. 

b.  The numerator equals capital expenditures, that are part of the denominator, referred to CV vehicles: buses, light, medium, and heavy 

trucks. 

OpEx KPI:

a.  The  denominator  includes  all  direct  non-capitalized  costs  related  to  maintenance,  building  renovation  measures,  research  and 
development, short-term lease, and any other direct expenditures relating to the day-to-day servicing of assets of property, plant, and 
equipment.

b.  The numerator equals the direct non-capitalized costs that are part of the denominator referred to CV vehicles: buses, light, medium, 

and heavy trucks.

There are no amounts in the reported values related to economic activities included in the taxonomy conducted for the internal consumption 
of the Group.

Within the CapEx and OpEx items, there are no items related to a plan to expand the economic activities aligned to the taxonomy.

Description of the management 
of risks associated with the use of 
critical materials

n/a

CNH Industrial’s products are highly complex, 
typically containing thousands of parts that come 
from many different direct suppliers within the 
Company’s vast global supply network. This 
means that the Company must rely on its direct 
suppliers to work with their upstream supply 
chain to detect the presence and evaluate 
the origin of any critical substances contained 
in components or materials it purchases. The 
Company has adopted policies, programs, and 
procedures to manage risks related to material 
sourcing and to promote responsible sourcing, 
particularly with regard to tin, tantalum, tungsten, 
and gold (referred to as conflict minerals or 
3TG), as well as cobalt (see Suppliers section).

(1)  The total recordable incident rate is the number of recordable work-related injuries and illnesses divided by the number of hours worked, multiplied by 200,000.
(2)  The fatality rate is the number of work-related fatalities divided by the number of hours worked, multiplied by 200,000.
(3)  The near miss frequency rate is the number of work-related near misses divided by the number of hours worked, multiplied by 200,000.
(4)  Given the diversity of its products, the Company is currently identifying a methodology for the calculation of sales-weighted fuel efficiency and emissions data.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORS

The following risks should be considered in conjunction with the other risks described in the Disclaimer, Risk Management and Control 
System section and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. These risks may affect our trading results and, individually or in the 
aggregate, could cause our actual results to differ materially from past and projected future results. Some of these risks and uncertainties 
could affect particular lines of business, while others could affect all of our businesses. Although the risks are organized by headings, and 
each risk is discussed separately, many are interrelated. The following discussion of risks may contain forward-looking statements that are 
intended to be covered by the Disclaimer. Except as may be required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking 
statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. It is impossible to predict or identify all risk factors and, 
consequently, you should not consider the following factors to be a complete discussion of risks and uncertainties that may affect us. For the 
2021 financial statements contained in this Annual Report, the Group’s assessment is that no material uncertainties (as defined in paragraph 
25 of IAS 1 - Presentation of Financial Statements) exist about its ability to continue as a going concern.

COVID-19 RISKS 
The COVID-19 pandemic could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of 
operations and/or liquidity
COVID-19 was first identified in late 2019, spread globally and was declared a global pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 
2020. Efforts to combat the virus have been complicated by viral variants and uneven access to, and acceptance and effectiveness of, vaccines 
globally. The global spread of the virus led governments around the world to implement numerous measures to contain the virus, such as 
travel bans, mandated shutdowns, border closures and other restrictions on the free movement of people and goods. These measures 
have impacted, and may further impact, our future ability to operate as well as the ability of our suppliers and distributors to operate. Any 
future closing of manufacturing facilities due to government mandates, insufficient staffing, weaker demand, or supply constraints, or similar 
limitations or restrictions for our suppliers, or the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our ability to execute business continuity plans, 
could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position, results of operations, and/or liquidity. 

Disruption  caused  by  business  responses  to  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  including  remote  working  arrangements,  may  create  increased 
vulnerability to cybersecurity or data privacy incidents, including breaches of information technology and systems. Risks related to information 
technology and systems are described in our risk factor “A cybersecurity breach could interfere with our operations, compromise confidential 
information, negatively impact our corporate reputation and expose us to liability”.  

From an economic perspective, COVID-19 initially led to a global recession and there is no certainty that the economies in which we operate 
will experience sustained economic recovery. The COVID-19 pandemic has also significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty 
and has led to disruptions in our supply chain, higher raw materials pricing and volatility in demand for our products and in global capital 
markets. The COVID-19 pandemic may materially adversely impact many of our customers, borrowers and other third parties and may 
affect their ability to fulfill their obligations to us in a timely manner.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to impact our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or liquidity 
will  depend  on  the  scale,  duration,  severity  and  geographic  reach  of  future  developments,  which  are  highly  uncertain  and  cannot  be 
predicted, including notably the possibility of “further waves” of COVID-19 infections or the appearance of new variants in the virus. There 
have been instances of re-imposed local lockdowns where infection rates have started to increase again and there is a risk that widespread 
measures such as strict social distancing and curtailing or ceasing normal business activities may be reintroduced in the future until effective 
treatments  or  vaccines  have  been  deployed.  In  late  2021,  in  response  to  a  rapid  acceleration  of  infections,  the  governments  of  several 
European countries including France, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom have started re-imposing increasingly stringent public health 
measures. Continued uncertainties and persistent effects also include: disruptions in the supply chain and a prolonged delay in resumption 
of operations by one or more key suppliers, or the failure of key suppliers; our ability to meet commitments to our customers on a timely 
basis as a result of increased costs and supply challenges; the ability to receive goods on a timely basis and at anticipated costs; increased 
logistics costs; delays in our strategic initiatives as a result of the uncertain environment; absence of employees due to illness; the impact of 
the pandemic on our customers and dealers, and delays in their plans to purchase new equipment; requests by our customers or dealers 
for, or government mandated, payment deferrals and contract modifications; the impact of disruptions in the global capital markets and/or 
declines in our financial performance, outlook or credit ratings, which could impact our ability to obtain funding in the future; and the impact 
of the pandemic on demand for our products and services as discussed above. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic may exacerbate many 
of the other risks described in this Annual Report.

28

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSSTRATEGIC RISKS 
Global economic conditions impact our businesses
Our results of operations and financial position are and will continue to be influenced by macroeconomic factors – including changes in gross 
domestic product, the level of consumer and business confidence, changes in interest rates, the availability of credit, inflation and deflation, 
energy prices, and the cost of commodities or other raw materials – which exist in the countries and regions in which we operate. Such 
macroeconomic factors vary from time to time and their effect on our results of operations and financial position cannot be specifically and 
singularly assessed and/or isolated.

Economic conditions vary across regions and countries, and demand for our products and services generally increases in those regions 
and countries experiencing economic growth and investment. Slower economic growth or a change in global mix of regions and countries 
experiencing economic growth and investment could have an adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition. 
In a weaker economic environment, dealers and customers may delay or cancel plans to purchase our products and services and may not 
be able to fulfill their obligations to us in a timely fashion. Our suppliers may also be impacted by economic pressures, which may adversely 
affect their ability to fulfill their obligations to us or the price or availability of supplies we require. These factors could result in product delays, 
increased accounts receivable, defaults and inventory challenges. In addition, demand for our products and services can be significantly 
impacted  by  concerns  regarding  the  diverse  economic  and  political  circumstances  in  the  European  Union,  the  debt  burden  of  several 
countries in the European Union, the risk that one or more European Union countries could come under increasing pressure to leave the 
European Union and the long-term stability of the euro as a single common currency. These concerns, along with persistent disparity with 
respect to the widely varying economic conditions amongst the individual countries of the European Union, and their implications for the 
euro as well as market perceptions concerning these and related issues, have led to further pressure on economic growth and may lead to 
new periods of economic volatility and recession in the European Union. Similarly, in Brazil and Argentina, macroeconomic conditions remain 
volatile. It is unclear what the macroeconomic effects will be of the economic stimulus actions taken by various countries in order to mitigate 
the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting increase in government debt. If there is continued deterioration 
in the global economy or the economies of key countries or regions, the demand for our products and services would likely decrease and 
our results of operations, financial position and cash flows could be materially and adversely affected.  

We are exposed to political, economic, trade and other risks beyond our control as a result of operating  
a global business
We  manufacture  and  sell  products  and  offer  services  in  several  continents  and  numerous  countries  around  the  world  including  those 
experiencing varying degrees of political and economic instability. Given the global nature of our activities, we are exposed to risks associated 
with  international  business  activities  that  may  increase  our  costs,  impact  our  ability  to  manufacture  and  sell  our  products  and  require 
significant management attention. These risks include:

	 changes in laws, regulations and policies that affect, among other things: 

	 import and export duties and quotas; 

	 currency restrictions; 

	 the design, manufacture and sale of our products, including, for example, engine emissions regulations; 

	 interest rates and the availability of credit to our dealers and customers; 

	 property, contract rights and intellectual property; 

	 where, to whom, and what type of products may be sold, including new or additional trade or economic sanctions imposed by the U.S., 
EU or other governmental authorities and supranational organizations (e.g., the United Nations); and 

	 taxes; 

	 regulations from changing world organization initiatives and agreements; 

	 changes in the dynamics of the industries and markets in which we operate; 

	 labor disruptions; 

	 disruption in the supply of raw materials and components (e.g., as a result of pandemics), including rare materials (the latter might be more 
easily the target of sudden cost increases due to a variety of factors, including speculative measures or unforeseen political changes); 

	 changes  in  governmental  debt  relief  and  subsidy  program  policies  in  certain  significant  markets,  including  the  Brazilian  government 
discontinuing programs subsidizing interest rates on equipment loans; 

	 withdrawal from or changes to trade agreements or trade terms, negotiation of new trade agreements and the imposition of new (and 
retaliatory) tariffs on certain countries or covering certain products or raw materials or embargoes, including developments in U.S.-China 
trade relations; and 

	 war, civil unrest and acts of terrorism.

29

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSIn  recent  years,  acts  of  terrorism  have  occurred  around  the  world,  leading  to  personal  safety  anxieties  and  political  instability  in  many 
countries and, ultimately, an impact on consumers’ confidence. More recently, growing populist and nationalist political movements in several 
major developed countries, changes in or uncertainty surrounding global trade policies and other unanticipated changes to the previous 
geopolitical order may have negative effects on the global economy.  

Further, escalating tensions between Russia and Ukraine and massive military actions between Russia and Ukraine could adversely impact 
macroeconomic conditions, give rise to regional instability and result in heightened economic sanctions from the U.S., EU, and U.K. which 
may adversely affect us and our business in Russia, Ukraine and potentially elsewhere in Eastern Europe, including possible restrictions on our 
ability to do business with certain vendors or suppliers as well as the ability to repatriate funds from the region. We have conducted business 
in jurisdictions that may be subject to trade or economic sanction regimes and such sanctions could be expanded. If we fail to comply with 
sanction regimes or other similar laws or regulations we could be subject to damages and potentially other financial penalties, suspension of 
licenses, or a cessation of operations at our businesses, as well as damage to our brands’ images and reputations.

There can be no guarantee that we will be able to quickly and completely adapt our business model to changes that could result from the 
foregoing, and any such changes may have an adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reduced demand for equipment would reduce our sales and profitability 
The agricultural equipment market is influenced by factors such as: 

	 the price of agricultural commodities and the ability to competitively export agricultural commodities; 

	 the profitability of agricultural enterprises, farmers’ income and their capitalization; 

	 the demand for food products;  

	 the availability of stocks from previous harvests; and

	 agricultural policies, including aid and subsidies to agricultural enterprises provided by governments and/or supranational organizations, 
policies impacting commodity prices or limiting the export or import of commodities, and alternative fuel mandates. 

In  addition,  droughts,  floods  and  other  unfavorable  climatic  conditions,  especially  during  the  spring,  a  particularly  important  period  for 
generating sales orders, could have a negative impact on decisions to buy agricultural equipment and, consequently, on our revenues. 

The construction equipment market is influenced by factors such as: 

	 public infrastructure spending; 

	 new residential and non-residential construction; and 

	 capital spending in oil and gas and, to a lesser extent, in mining. 

The above factors can significantly influence the demand for agricultural and construction equipment and consequently, our financial results. 
Additionally, demand for our products is influenced by engine emissions and other applicable legal requirements, as well as the effective 
date of such requirements. If demand for our products is less than we expect, we may experience excess inventories and be forced to incur 
additional charges and our profitability will suffer, including lower fixed costs absorption associated with lower production levels at our plants. 
Our business may be negatively impacted if we experience excess inventories or if we are unable to adjust on a timely basis our production 
schedules or our purchases from suppliers to reflect changes in customer demand and market fluctuations. 

Competitive activity, or failure by us to respond to actions by our competitors, could adversely affect  
our results of operations
We operate in highly competitive global and regional markets. Depending on the particular country and product, we compete with other 
international, regional and local manufacturers and distributors of agricultural and construction equipment. Certain of our global competitors 
have substantial resources and may be able to provide products and services at little or no profit, or even at a loss, to compete with certain 
of our product and service offerings. We compete primarily on the basis of product performance, innovation, quality, distribution, customer 
service, and price. Aggressive pricing or other strategies pursued by competitors, unanticipated product or manufacturing delays, quality 
issues, or our failure to price our products competitively could adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial position. 
Additionally, there has been a trend toward consolidation in the construction equipment industries that has resulted in larger and potentially 
stronger competitors in those industries. The markets in which we compete are highly competitive in terms of product quality, innovation, 
pricing, fuel economy, reliability, safety, customer service and financial services offered. Competition, particularly on pricing, has increased 
significantly in the markets in which we compete. Should we be unable to adapt effectively to market conditions, this could have an adverse 
effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

30

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSChanges in government monetary or fiscal policies may negatively impact our results
Most  countries  where  our  products  and  services  are  sold  have  established  central  banks  to  regulate  monetary  systems  and  influence 
economic activities, generally by adjusting interest rates. Some governments may implement measures designed to slow economic growth 
in their countries (e.g., higher interest rates, reduced bank lending and other anti-inflation measures). Rising interest rates could have a 
dampening effect on the overall economic activity and/or the financial condition of our customers, either or both of which could negatively 
affect demand for our products and our customers’ ability to repay obligations to us. Central banks and other policy arms of many countries 
may take further actions to vary the amount of liquidity and credit available in an economy. The impact from a change in liquidity and credit 
policies could negatively affect the customers and markets we serve or our suppliers, which could adversely impact our business, results of 
operations and financial condition. Government initiatives that are intended to stimulate demand for products sold by us, such as changes 
in tax treatment or purchase incentives for new equipment, can significantly influence the timing and level of our revenues. The terms, size 
and duration of such government actions are unpredictable and outside of our control. Any adverse change in government policy relating 
to those initiatives could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. As noted above, it is 
unclear what the macroeconomic effects will be of the economic stimulus actions taken by various countries in order to mitigate the adverse 
economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting increase in government debt.

Our future performance depends on our ability to innovate and on market acceptance of new or existing products
Our success depends on our ability to maintain or increase our market share in existing markets and to expand into new markets through 
the development of innovative, high-quality products that provide adequate profitability. We have a strategic plan covering investments 
in innovation designed to further develop existing, and create new, product and service offerings responsive to customer needs, including 
developing and delivering connected and digital solutions, automation, electrification and autonomy. Achievement of these objectives is 
dependent on a number of factors, including our ability to maintain key dealer relationships, our ability to design and produce products 
that meet our customers’ quality, performance and price expectations, our ability to develop connected and digital solutions that improve 
the profitability and sustainability of customers through their production systems, our ability to develop effective sales, dealer training and 
marketing programs, and the ability of our dealers to support and service connected and digital solutions. Failure to develop and offer 
innovative products that compare favorably to those of our principal competitors in terms of price, quality, functionality, features, mobility 
and connected services, vehicle electrification, fuel cell technology and autonomy, or delays in bringing strategic new products to market, or 
the inability to adequately protect our intellectual property rights or supply products that meet regulatory requirements, including engine 
emissions requirements, could result in reduced revenue and market share, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, 
results of operations and financial condition.

We may face challenges to our intellectual property rights which could adversely affect our reputation, 
business and competitive position
We own important intellectual property, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. Our intellectual property plays an 
important  role  in  maintaining  our  competitive  position  in  the  markets  that  we  serve.  Our  competitors  may  develop  technologies  that 
are similar or superior to our proprietary technologies or design around the intellectual property that we own or license. Despite our 
controls and safeguards, our technology may be misappropriated by employees, competitors or third parties. The pursuit of remedies for 
any misappropriation of intellectual property is expensive and the ultimate remedies may be insufficient. Further, in jurisdictions where the 
enforcement of intellectual property rights is less robust, the risk of misappropriation of our intellectual property is higher notwithstanding 
the efforts we undertake to protect it. Developments or assertions by or against us relating to intellectual property rights, and any inability 
to protect or enforce our rights sufficiently, could adversely affect our business, competitive position and results of operations.

We may not realize all of the anticipated benefits from our business initiatives and cost management initiatives
As part of our strategic plan, we are actively engaged in a number of initiatives to strengthen our business and increase our productivity, 
market positioning, efficiency and cash flow, all of which we expect will have a positive long-term effect on our business, results of operations 
and financial condition. These initiatives include our enhanced focus on digital, precision farming and alternative propulsion, as well as other 
initiatives aimed at improving our product portfolio and customer focus. There can be no assurance that these initiatives or others will be 
beneficial to the extent anticipated, or that the estimated efficiency or cash flow improvements will be realized as anticipated or at all. If 
these initiatives are not implemented successfully, they could have an adverse effect on our operations. We also expect to take targeted 
restructuring actions as we continue to optimize our cost structure and improve the efficiency of our operations. In order to complete these 
actions, we will incur charges. Failure to realize anticipated savings or benefits from our cost reduction actions could have a material adverse 
effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows.

31

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSWe may not be able to realize anticipated benefits from any acquisitions and, further, challenges associated 
with strategic alliances may have an adverse impact on our results of operations 
We have engaged in the past, and may engage in the future, in investments or mergers and acquisitions or enter into, expand or exit from 
strategic alliances and joint ventures that could involve risks that could prevent us from realizing the expected benefits of the transactions or 
the achievement of strategic objectives or could divert management’s time and attention. Such risks, many of which are outside our control, 
include: 

	 technological and product synergies, economies of scale and cost reductions not occurring as expected; 

	 unexpected liabilities;  

	 incompatibility of operating, information or other systems;  

	 unexpected changes in laws;

	 inability to retain key employees; 

	 protecting intellectual property rights;  

	 inability to source certain products or components (or the cost thereof);  

	 significant costs associated with terminating or modifying alliances; and  

	 problems in retaining customers and integrating operations, services, personnel, and customer bases.  

If problems or issues were to arise among the parties to one or more strategic alliances or other relationships for managerial, financial, or 
other reasons, or if such strategic alliances or other relationships were terminated, our product lines, businesses, results of operations and 
financial condition could be adversely affected. 

Our business may be affected by climate change, unfavorable weather conditions or other calamities
Poor, severe or unusual weather conditions caused by climate change or other factors, particularly during the planting and early growing 
season, can significantly affect the purchasing decisions of our agricultural equipment customers. The timing and quantity of rainfall are two 
of the most important factors in agricultural production. Insufficient levels of rain prevent farmers from planting crops or may cause growing 
crops to die, resulting in lower yields. Excessive rain or flooding can also prevent planting or harvesting from occurring at optimal times and 
may cause crop loss through increased disease or mold growth. Temperature affects the rate of growth, crop maturity, crop quality and yield.

Temperatures outside normal ranges can cause crop failure or decreased yields and may also affect disease incidence. Natural disasters such 
as floods, hurricanes, storms, droughts, diseases and pests can have a negative impact on agricultural production. The resulting negative 
impact on farm income can strongly affect demand for our agricultural equipment in any given period. 

In addition, natural disasters, pandemic illness, acts of terrorism or violence, equipment failures, power outages, disruptions to our information 
technology systems and networks or other unexpected events could result in physical damage to, and complete or partial closure of, one or 
more of our manufacturing facilities or distribution centers, temporary or long-term disruption in the supply of parts or component products 
and disruption and delay in the transport of our products to dealers and customers. In the event such events occur, our financial results might 
be negatively impacted. Our existing insurance arrangements may not protect against all costs that may arise from such events. 

Furthermore, the potentially long-term physical impacts of climate change on our facilities, suppliers and customers and therefore on our 
operations are highly uncertain and will be driven by the circumstances developing in various geographical regions. These may include long-
term changes in temperature and water availability. These potential physical effects may adversely impact the demand for our products and 
the cost, production, sales and financial performance of our operations.

Changes in demand for food and alternate energy sources could impact our revenues
Changing worldwide demand for farm outputs to meet the world’s growing food and alternative energy demands, driven in part by a growing 
world population and government policies, are likely to result in fluctuating agricultural commodity prices, which affect sales of agricultural 
equipment. While higher commodity prices will benefit our crop producing agricultural equipment customers, higher commodity prices also 
result in greater feed costs for livestock and poultry producers, which in turn may result in lower levels of equipment purchased by these 
customers. Lower commodity prices directly affect farm income, which could negatively affect sales of agricultural equipment. Moreover, 
changing alternative energy demands may cause farmers to change the types or quantities of the crops they grow, with corresponding 
changes in equipment demands. Finally, changes in governmental policies regulating bio-fuel utilization could affect demand for our equipment 
and result in higher research and development costs related to equipment fuel standards.  

32

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSInternational trade policies may impact demand for our products and our competitive position
Government policies on international trade and investment such as sanctions, import quotas, capital controls or tariffs, whether adopted 
by  non-governmental  bodies,  individual  governments  or  addressed  by  regional  trade  blocks,  may  affect  the  demand  for  our  products, 
technology and services, impact the competitive position of our products or prevent us from being able to sell products to certain customers 
or in certain countries. The implementation of more protectionist trade policies, such as more detailed inspections, higher tariffs, or new 
barriers to entry, in countries where we sell products and provide services could negatively impact our business, results of operations and 
financial position. For example, a government’s adoption of trade sanctions or “buy national” policies or retaliation by another government 
against such policies could have a negative impact on our results of operations.  

OPERATIONAL RISKS
We depend on suppliers for raw materials, parts and components 
We rely upon many suppliers for raw materials, parts and components that we require to manufacture our products. We cannot guarantee 
that we will be able to maintain access to raw materials, parts and components, and in some cases, this access may be affected by factors 
outside of our control and the control of our suppliers. Certain components and parts used in our products are available from a single 
supplier and cannot be quickly sourced from other suppliers. Significant disruptions to the supply chain resulting from shortages of raw 
materials, components, and whole-goods can adversely affect our ability to meet customer demand. For example, during 2021, as economies 
around the world have reopened, sharp increases in demand have exacerbated significant disruptions to the global supply chain stemming 
from  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  which  have  affected  our  ability  to  receive  certain  materials  and  components  on  a  timely  basis  and  at 
anticipated  costs.  These  supply  chain  disruptions  have  been  caused  and  compounded  by  many  factors,  including  changes  in  supply  and 
demand, industry capacity constraints, labor shortages and the COVID pandemic. Global logistics network challenges include ocean freight 
capacity constraints, international port delays, trucking and chassis shortages, railway and air freight capacity, and labor availability constraints, 
which have resulted in delays, shortages of key manufacturing components, increased order backlogs, and increased transportation costs. 
While we diligently monitor our supply chain risk and seek to respond promptly to address supply chain and logistics bottlenecks, there can 
be no assurance that our mitigation plans will be effective to prevent disruptions that may arise from shortages of materials that we use in the 
production of our products. Uncertainties related to the magnitude and duration of global supply chain disruptions have adversely affected, 
and may continue to adversely affect, our business and outlook.  

We use a variety of raw materials in our businesses, including steel, aluminum, lead, resin and copper, and precious metals such as platinum, 
palladium and rhodium. The availability and price of these raw materials fluctuate, particularly during times of economic volatility or regulatory 
instability or in response to changes in tariffs, and while we seek to manage this exposure, we may not be successful in mitigating these risks. 
Further, increases in the prices for raw materials can significantly increase our costs of production, which could have a material adverse effect 
on our business, results of operations and financial condition, particularly if we are unable to offset the increased costs through an increase 
in product pricing. 

Our existing operations and expansion plans in emerging markets could entail significant risks 
Our ability to grow our businesses depends to an increasing degree on our ability to increase market share and operate profitably worldwide 
and, in particular, in emerging market countries, such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, Argentina and Turkey. In addition, we could increase our 
use of suppliers located in such countries. Our implementation of these strategies will involve a significant investment of capital and other 
resources and exposes us to multiple and potentially conflicting cultural practices, business practices and legal requirements that are subject 
to change, including those related to tariffs, trade barriers, investments, property ownership rights, taxation, and sanction and export control 
requirements. For example, we may encounter difficulties in obtaining necessary governmental approvals in a timely manner. In addition, 
we may experience delays and incur significant costs in constructing facilities, establishing supply channels, and commencing manufacturing 
operations.  Further,  customers  in  these  markets  may  not  readily  accept  our  products  as  compared  with  products  manufactured  and 
commercialized by our competitors. The emerging market countries may also be subject to a greater degree of economic and political 
volatility that could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Many emerging market economies have 
experienced slower growth, volatility, and other economic challenges in recent periods and may be subject to a further slowdown in gross 
domestic product expansion and/or be impacted by domestic political or currency volatility, potential hyperinflationary conditions, and/or 
increase of public debt.

Dealer equipment sourcing and inventory management decisions could adversely affect our sales
We sell our products primarily through independent dealers and are subject to risks relating to their inventory management decisions and 
operating and sourcing practices. Our dealers carry inventories of finished products and parts as part of ongoing operations and adjust those 
inventories based on their assessment of future sales opportunities and market conditions, including the level of used equipment inventory. 
If our dealers’ inventory levels are higher than they desire, they may postpone product purchases from us, which could cause our sales to 

33

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSbe lower than the end-user demand for our products and negatively impact our results. Similarly, our sales could be negatively impacted 
through the loss of time-sensitive sales if our dealers do not maintain inventory sufficient to meet customer demand. Further, dealers who 
carry other products that compete with our products may focus their inventory purchases and sales efforts on goods provided by other 
suppliers due to industry demand or profitability. Such inventory adjustments and sourcing decisions can adversely impact our sales, results 
of operations and financial condition. 

Our results of operations may be adversely impacted by various types of claims, lawsuits,  
and other contingent obligations
In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in litigation and investigations on a wide range of topics, including dealer and supplier 
litigation, intellectual property rights disputes, product warranty and defective product claims, product performance, asbestos, personal 
injury, engine emissions and/or fuel economy regulatory and contract issues, and environmental claims. The industries in which we operate 
are also periodically reviewed or investigated by regulators, which could lead to enforcement actions, fines and penalties or the assertion of 
private litigation claims. The ultimate outcome of these legal matters pending against us is uncertain, and although such legal matters are not 
expected individually to have a material adverse effect on our financial position or profitability, such legal matters could, in the aggregate, in 
the event of unfavorable resolutions thereof, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. Furthermore, 
we could in the future be subject to judgments or enter into settlements of lawsuits and claims that could have a material adverse effect on 
our results of operations in any particular period. In addition, while we maintain insurance coverage with respect to certain risks, we may 
not be able to obtain such insurance on acceptable terms in the future, if at all, and any such insurance may not provide adequate coverage 
against claims under such policies. We establish reserves based on our assessment of contingencies, including contingencies related to legal 
claims asserted against us. Subsequent developments in legal proceedings may affect our assessment and estimates of the loss contingency 
recorded as a reserve and require us to make payments that exceed our reserves, which could have a material adverse effect on our results 
of operations and/or financial position. For further information see Note 27 “Commitments and contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements at December 31, 2021.  

A cybersecurity breach could interfere with our operations, compromise confidential information,  
negatively impact our corporate reputation and expose us to liability
We rely upon information technology systems and networks, some of which are managed by third parties, in connection with a variety of 
our business activities. These systems include supply chain, manufacturing, distribution, invoicing and collection of payments from dealers 
or  other  purchasers  of  our  products  and  from  customers  of  our  financial  services  business,  and  connectivity  services  with  and  among 
equipment. We use information technology systems to record, process and summarize financial information and results of operations for 
internal reporting purposes and to comply with regulatory financial reporting, legal and tax requirements. Additionally, we collect and store 
sensitive data, including intellectual property, proprietary business information and the proprietary information of our customers, suppliers 
and dealers, as well as personally identifiable information of our dealers, customers and employees, in data centers and on information 
technology networks. Operating these information technology systems and networks, and processing and maintaining this data, in a secure 
manner, are critical to our business operations and strategy. Increased information technology security threats (e.g., worms, viruses, malware, 
phishing attacks, ransomware, and other malicious threats) and more sophisticated computer crime pose a significant risk to the security 
of our systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of our data. Cybersecurity attacks could also include attacks 
targeting customer data or the security, integrity and/or reliability of the hardware and software installed in our products. The foregoing 
risks are heightened in the current environment where our employees have been working and continue to work from home due to the 
COVID-19 pandemic.

While we actively manage information technology security risks within our control through security measures, business continuity plans and 
employee training around phishing and other cyber risks, these attacks have proliferated and there can be no assurance that our actions will 
be sufficient to successfully prevent attacks or to mitigate potential risks to our systems, networks, data, and products. Furthermore, third 
parties on which we rely, including internet, mobile communications technology and cloud service providers, pose their own information 
security risk to us. 

A failure or breach in security, whether of our systems and networks or those of third parties on which we rely, could expose us and our 
customers, dealers and suppliers to risks of misuse of information or systems, the compromising of confidential information, loss of financial 
resources, manipulation and destruction of data, defective products, production downtimes and operations disruptions, which in turn could 
adversely affect our reputation, competitive position, businesses and results of operations. Security breaches could also result in litigation, 
regulatory action, unauthorized release of confidential or otherwise protected information and corruption of data, as well as remediation 
costs and higher operational and other costs of implementing further data protection measures. In addition, as security threats continue 
to evolve, we may need to invest additional resources to protect the security of our systems and data. The amount or scope of insurance 
coverage we maintain may be inadequate to cover claims or liabilities relating to a cybersecurity attack.  

34

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSSecurity breaches with respect to our products could interfere with our business and our dealers,  
and/or customers, exposing us to liability that would cause our business and reputation to suffer
Some of our products include connectivity hardware typically used for telematics services and remote system updates. While we have 
implemented security measures intended to prevent unauthorized access to these products, malicious actors have reportedly attempted, 
and may attempt in the future, to gain unauthorized access to such products including through such connectivity hardware in order to gain 
control of the products, change the products’ functionality, user interface, or performance characteristics, or gain access to data stored in 
or generated by the products. Any unauthorized access to or control of our products or systems or any loss of data could result in legal 
claims against us or government investigations. In addition, reports of unauthorized access to our products, systems, and data, regardless of 
their veracity, may result in the perception that the products, systems, or data are capable of being hacked, which could harm our brands, 
prospects, and operating results.

Following the spin-off of our On-Highway business, our financial profile has changed, and we will be  
a somewhat smaller, less diversified company than prior to the spin-off
The spin-off will result in each of the On-Highway Business and the Off-Highway Business being smaller, less diversified companies with more 
businesses concentrated in their respective industries. As a result, we may be more vulnerable to changing market conditions particularly those 
affecting the agricultural sector, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. In 
addition, the diversification of our revenues, costs, and cash flows will diminish as a standalone company, such that our results of operations, 
cash flows, working capital and financing requirements may be subject to increased volatility and our ability to fund capital expenditures 
and investments, pay dividends and service debt may be diminished. Following the spin-off we may also have more limited capital allocation 
efficiency and flexibility, as we will no longer be able to use cash flow from the combined business to fund investments into one of our 
businesses. We may however, benefit from no longer being a source of capital and support for the On-Highway business.

We face risks associated with our employment relationships
In  many  countries  where  we  operate,  our  employees  are  protected  by  laws  and/or  collective  labor  agreements  that  guarantee  them, 
through local and national representatives, the right of consultation on specific matters, including repurposing, downsizing or closure of 
production  facilities  and  reductions  in  personnel.  Laws  and/or  collective  labor  agreements  applicable  to  us  could  impair  our  flexibility 
in reshaping and/or strategically repositioning our business activities. Therefore, our ability to efficiently deploy personnel or implement 
permanent or temporary redundancy measures is subject to government approvals and/or the agreement of labor unions where such laws 
and agreements are applicable. Furthermore, we are at greater risk of work interruptions or stoppages than non-unionized companies and 
any work interruption or stoppage could significantly impact the volume of products we manufacture and sell, which could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in material 
changes in how and where employees work.

Our ability to execute our strategy is dependent upon our ability to attract, motivate  
and retain qualified personnel
Our ability to compete successfully, to manage our business effectively, to expand our business and to execute our strategic direction, 
in particular the implementation of our Strategic Business Plan, depends, in part, on our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified 
personnel in key functions and markets. In particular, we are dependent on our ability to attract, motivate and retain qualified personnel 
with the requisite education, skills, background, talents and industry experience. Failure to attract and retain qualified personnel, whether as 
a result of an insufficient number of qualified applicants, difficulty in recruiting new personnel, or the inability to integrate and retain qualified 
personnel, could impair our ability to execute our business strategy and meet our business objectives. These may be affected by the loss of 
employees, particularly when departures involve larger numbers of employees, such as those experienced by many employers and industries 
since 2020. Higher rates of employee separations may adversely affect us through decreased employee morale, the loss of knowledge of 
departing employees, and the devotion of resources to recruiting and onboarding new employees.

COMPLIANCE RISKS
We are subject to increasingly stringent and evolving laws that impose significant compliance costs
We are subject to comprehensive and constantly evolving laws, regulations and policies in numerous jurisdictions around the world. We 
expect the extent of legal requirements affecting our businesses and our costs of compliance to continue to increase in the future. Such laws 
govern, among other things, products – with requirements on emissions of polluting gases and particulate matter, increased fuel efficiency 
and safety becoming increasingly strict – and industrial plants – with requirements for reduced air emissions, treatment of waste and water, 
and  prohibitions  on  soil  contamination  also  becoming  increasingly  strict.  To  comply  with  such  laws,  we  make  significant  investments  in 
research and development and capital expenditures and expect to continue to incur substantial costs in the future. Failure to comply with 

35

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSsuch laws could limit or prohibit our ability to sell our products in a particular jurisdiction, expose us to penalties or clean-up costs, civil or 
criminal liability and sanctions on certain of our activities, as well as damage to property or natural resources. Liabilities, sanctions, damages 
and remediation efforts related to any non-compliance with such laws, including those that may be adopted or imposed in the future, could 
negatively impact our ability to conduct our operations and our results of operations and financial condition. In addition, there can be no 
assurance that we will not be adversely affected by costs, liabilities or claims with respect to any subsequently acquired operations.  

Further, environmental, health and safety regulations change from time to time, as may related interpretations and other guidance. For 
example, changes in environmental and climate change laws, including laws relating to engine and vehicle emissions, safety regulations, fuel 
requirements, restricted substances, or greenhouse gas emissions, could lead to new or additional investments in product designs and could 
increase environmental compliance expenditures. If these laws are either changed or adopted and impose significant operational restrictions 
and compliance requirements on our products or operations, they could result in higher capital expenditures and negatively impact our 
business, results of operations, financial position and competitive position. 

Changes to existing laws and regulations or changes to how they are interpreted or the implementation of new, more stringent laws or 
regulations could adversely affect our business by increasing compliance costs, limiting our ability to offer a product or service, requiring 
changes to our business practices, or otherwise making our products and services less attractive to customers. For example, so-called “right 
to repair” legislation proposals in certain states and at the federal level in the U.S. could require us to provide access to the software code 
embedded in our products, which, among other harmful consequences, could create product safety issues, compromise engine emissions 
and  performance  controls,  adversely  affect  the  protection  of  our  intellectual  property,  and  discourage  innovation  and  investments  in 
research and development.

We are subject to extensive laws and regulations
Due to the global scope of our operations, we are subject to many laws and regulations that apply to our operations around the world, 
including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, and the U.K. Bribery Act, as well as a range of national anti-corruption and antitrust 
or competition laws that apply to conduct in a particular jurisdiction. These anti-corruption laws prohibit improper payments in cash or 
anything of value to improperly influence third parties to obtain or retain business or gain a business advantage. These laws tend to apply 
regardless of whether those practices are legal or culturally acceptable in a particular jurisdiction. Over the past several years there has 
been an increase in the enforcement of anti-corruption and antitrust or competition laws both globally and in particular jurisdictions and 
we have from time to time been subject to investigations and charges claiming violations of anti-corruption or antitrust or competition laws, 
including Iveco’s settlement of the EU antitrust investigation announced on July 19, 2016. Following this settlement, Iveco, the Company and 
other parties have been defending against private litigation commenced in Europe. We are committed to operating in compliance with all 
applicable laws, in particular, anti-corruption and antitrust or competition laws. We have implemented a program to promote compliance 
with these laws and to reduce the likelihood of potential violations. Our compliance program, however, may not in every instance protect 
us from acts committed by our employees, agents, contractors, or collaborators that may violate the applicable laws or regulations of the 
jurisdictions in which we operate. Such improper actions could subject us to civil or criminal investigations and monetary, injunctive and other 
penalties as well as damage claims. Investigations of alleged violations of these laws tend to be expensive and require significant management 
time and attention, and these investigations of purported violations, as well as any publicity regarding potential violations, could harm our 
reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. For further information see Note 
27 “Commitments and contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2021.

Changes in privacy laws could disrupt our business
The  regulatory  framework  for  privacy  and  data  security  issues  worldwide  is  rapidly  evolving  and  is  likely  to  remain  uncertain  for  the 
foreseeable future. We collect personal information and other data as part of our business operations. This data is subject to a variety of 
U.S. and foreign laws and regulations. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation imposes more stringent 
data protection requirements and provides for significant penalties for noncompliance. New privacy laws will continue to come into effect 
around the world. We may be required to incur significant costs to comply with these and other privacy and data security laws, rules and 
regulations. Any inability to adequately address privacy and security concerns or comply with applicable privacy and data security laws, rules 
and regulations could have an adverse effect on our business prospects, results of operations and/or financial position. 

New regulations or changes in financial services regulations could adversely impact us
Our Financial Services’ operations are highly regulated by governmental and banking authorities in the locations where they operate, which 
can impose significant additional costs and/or restrictions on their business. In the U.S., for example, the requirements of the Dodd-Frank 
Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”), including its regulations, as well as other efforts at regulatory 
reform in financial services may substantially affect the origination, servicing, and securitization programs of our Financial Services segment as 
well as limit the ability of our customers to enter into hedging transaction or finance purchases of our equipment. The Dodd-Frank Act also 
strengthens the regulatory oversight of these securities and related capital market activities by the SEC and increases the regulation of the 

36

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSasset-backed securities (“ABS”) markets through, among other things, a mandated risk retention requirement for securitizers and a direction 
to regulate credit rating agencies. Future regulations may affect our ability to engage in these capital market activities or increase the effective 
cost of such transactions, which could adversely affect our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

FINANCIAL AND TAXATION RISKS 
Difficulty in obtaining financing or refinancing existing debt could impact our financial performance  
Our performance will depend on, among other things, our ability to finance debt repayment obligations and planned investments from operating 
cash flow, available liquidity, the renewal or refinancing of existing bank loans and/or facilities and access to capital markets or other sources of 
financing. A decline in revenues could have a negative impact on the cash-generating capacity of our operations. Consequently, we could find 
ourselves in the position of having to seek additional financing and/or having to refinance existing debt, including in unfavorable market conditions 
with limited availability of funding and a general increase in funding costs. Instability in global capital markets, including market disruptions, limited 
liquidity and interest rate and exchange rate volatility, could reduce our access to capital markets or increase the cost of our short and long-term 
financing. Any difficulty in obtaining financing could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial position. 

Our ability to access the capital markets or other forms of financing and related costs are highly dependent on, among other things, the credit 
ratings of CNH Industrial N.V., its subsidiaries, ABS and other debt instruments. Rating agencies may review and revise their ratings from time 
to time, and any downgrade or other negative action with respect to our credit ratings by one or more rating agencies may increase our cost of 
capital, potentially limit our access to sources of financing, and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial 
condition. 

We are subject to exchange rate fluctuations, interest rate changes and other market risks 
We operate in numerous markets worldwide and are exposed to market risks stemming from fluctuations in currency and interest rates, 
including as a result of changes in monetary or fiscal policies of governmental authorities from time to time. We are subject to currency 
exchange risk to the extent that our costs are denominated in currencies other than those in which we earn revenues. In addition, the 
reporting  currency  for  our  consolidated  financial  statements  is  the  U.S.  dollar.  Certain  of  our  assets,  liabilities,  expenses  and  revenues 
are denominated in other currencies. Those assets, liabilities, expenses and revenues are translated into the U.S. dollar at the applicable 
exchange rates to prepare our consolidated financial statements. Therefore, increases or decreases in exchange rates between the U.S. 
dollar and those other currencies affect the value of those items reflected in our consolidated financial statements, even if their value remains 
unchanged in their original currency. Changes in currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and other currencies have had, and will 
continue to have, an impact on our results of operations and financial condition. 

We use various forms of financing to cover the funding requirements of our Industrial Activities and for financing offered to customers and 
dealers by Financial Services. Financial Services normally implements a matching policy to offset the impact of differences in interest rates 
on the financed portfolio and related liabilities. Nevertheless, any future changes in interest rates can result in increases or decreases in 
revenues, finance costs and margins. 

Although we seek to manage our currency risk and interest rate risk, including through hedging activities, there can be no assurance that 
we will be able to do so successfully, and our business, results of operations and financial position could be adversely affected. In addition, by 
utilizing these instruments, we potentially forego the benefits that may result from favorable fluctuations in currency exchange and interest 
rates. For additional information, see Note 30 “Information on financial risks” to the Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2021.

We also face risks from currency devaluations. Currency devaluations result in a diminished value of funds denominated in the currency of 
the country suffering the devaluation. 

Because Financial Services provides financing for a significant portion of our sales worldwide, our operations 
and financial results could be impacted materially should negative economic conditions affect the financial 
services industry
Negative economic conditions can have an adverse effect on the financial services industry in which Financial Services operates. Financial 
Services, through wholly-owned financial services companies and joint ventures, provides financing for a significant portion of our sales 
worldwide.  Financial  Services  may  experience  credit  losses  that  exceed  its  expectations  and  adversely  affect  its  financial  condition  and 
results of operations. Financial Services’ inability to access funds at cost-effective rates to support its financing activities could have a material 
adverse effect on our business. Financial Services’ liquidity and ongoing profitability depend largely on timely access to capital in order to 
meet future cash flow requirements and to fund operations and costs associated with engaging in diversified funding activities. Additionally, 
negative market conditions could reduce customer confidence levels, resulting in declines in credit applications and increases in delinquencies 
and default rates, which could materially impact Financial Services’ write-offs and provision for credit losses. Financial Services may also 
experience  residual  value  losses  that  exceed  its  expectations  caused  by  lower  pricing  for  used  vehicles  or  equipment  and  higher  than 
expected vehicle or equipment returns at lease maturity. 

37

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSWe are subject to interest rate risks and changes in interest rates can reduce demand for equipment, 
adversely affect the interest margins in our Financial Services segment, and limit access to capital markets 
while increasing borrowing costs
Rising interest rates could have a dampening effect on overall economic activity as well as on the financial health of our customers, either of 
which could negatively affect customer demand for our products and services as well as customers’ ability to service any financing provided 
by our Financial Services segment. In addition, credit market dislocations could have an impact on funding costs, which in turn may make 
it more difficult for our Financial Services Segment to offer customers competitive financing rates. While we aim to limit the exposure of 
our net financial assets to changes in prevailing interest rates, interest rates volatility could have an adverse effect on our net interest rate 
margin - i.e., the difference between the yield we earn on assets and the interest rates we pay. Actions by credit rating agencies, such as 
downgrades or negative changes to ratings outlooks, can affect the availability and cost of funding for the Company and can increase the 
Company’s cost of capital and hurt its competitive position.

An increase in delinquencies or repossessions could adversely affect the results of Financial Services
Fundamental in the operation of Financial Services is the credit risk associated with its customers/borrowers. The creditworthiness of each 
customer, rates of delinquency and default, repossessions and net losses on loans to customers are impacted by many factors, including: 
relevant industry and general economic conditions; the availability of capital; the terms and conditions applicable to extensions of credit; the 
experience and skills of the customer’s management team; commodity prices; political events, including government mandated moratoria on 
payments; weather; and the value of the collateral securing the extension of credit. An increase in delinquencies or defaults, or a reduction in 
repossessions could have an adverse impact on the performance of Financial Services and our earnings and cash flows. In addition, although 
Financial Services evaluates and adjusts its allowance for credit losses related to past due or non-performing receivables on a regular basis, 
adverse economic conditions or other factors that might cause deterioration of the customers’ financial health could change the timing and 
level of payments received and thus necessitate an increase in Financial Services’ reserves for estimated losses, which could have a material 
adverse effect on Financial Services’ and our results of operations and cash flows. 

We may be exposed to shortfalls in our pension plans 
At  December  31,  2021,  the  funded  status  for  our  defined  benefit  pension,  healthcare  and  other  post-employment  benefits  was  an 
underfunded status of $1,062 million that is included in the consolidated statement of financial position related to CNH Industrial prior to 
the Demerger (“CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger” or “CNHI Pre-Demerger”), of which $595 million was related to Continuing Operations 
and $467 million related to Discontinued Operations. The funded status is the balance between the present value of the defined benefit 
obligation  and  the  fair  value  of  related  assets,  in  case  of  funded  plans  (plans  managed  by  a  separate  fund,  “trust”).  Consequently,  the 
funded status is subject to many factors, as discussed in the Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2021, section “Significant 
Accounting Policies” paragraph “Use of Estimates”, as well as Note 22 “Provisions for employee benefits”.

To the extent that our obligations under a plan are unfunded or underfunded, we will have to use cash flows from operations and other 
sources to pay our obligations as they become due. In addition, since the assets that currently fund these obligations are primarily invested 
in debt instruments and equity securities, the value of these assets is subject to changes due to market fluctuations.

We have significant outstanding indebtedness, which may limit our ability to obtain additional funding  
and may limit our financial and operating flexibility
As of December 31, 2021, we had an aggregate of $24,255 million (including $19,509 million relating to Financial Services’ activities) of 
consolidated gross indebtedness, and our equity was $8,426 million, including noncontrolling interests. At December 31, 2021, $21,689 million 
and $2,566 million of the aggregate consolidated gross indebtedness was related to Continuing Operations and to Discontinued Operations, 
respectively. The extent of our indebtedness could have important consequences on our operations and financial results, including: 

	 we may not be able to secure additional funds for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements or general corporate 
purposes; 

	 we may need to use a portion of our projected future cash flow from operations to pay principal and interest on our indebtedness, which 
may reduce the amount of funds available to us for other purposes; 

	 we may be more financially leveraged than some of our competitors, which could put us at a competitive disadvantage; 

	 we may not be able to invest in the development or introduction of new products or new business opportunities; 

	 our future cash flow may be exposed to the risk of interest rate volatility (see above);

	 we may not be able to adjust rapidly to changing market conditions, which may make us more vulnerable to a downturn in general 
economic conditions; and 

38

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORS	 we may not be able to access the capital markets on favorable terms, which may adversely affect our ability to provide competitive retail 
and wholesale financing programs. 

These risks are exacerbated by the ongoing volatility in the financial markets, in part resulting from perceived strains on the finances and 
creditworthiness of several governments and financial institutions, particularly in the European Union and Latin America, and from continued 
concerns about global economic growth, particularly in emerging markets, as a result of, among others, the COVID-19 pandemic. 

Further, our indebtedness under some of our instruments including certain derivative transactions may bear interest at variable interest rates 
or have other terms based on LIBOR. The LIBOR benchmark has been subject to national, international, and other regulatory guidance and 
proposals for reform. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority announced that it intends to stop persuading or compelling banks 
to submit rates for calculation of LIBOR after 2021. Although this deadline has subsequently been extended to June 2023, these reforms 
may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past and in particular may do so in the future as the deadline approaches potentially 
making it unsuitable to use as a benchmark. The consequences of any potential cessation, modification or other reform of LIBOR cannot be 
predicted at this time. Any new benchmark rate will likely not replicate LIBOR exactly, which could impact new variable rate credit facilities 
and derivative transaction. Any changes to benchmark rates could have an impact on our cost of funds and our access to the capital markets, 
which could impact our results of operations and cash flows. Uncertainty as to the nature of such potential changes may also adversely affect 
the trading market for our securities. 

Restrictive covenants in our debt agreements could limit our financial and operating flexibility
The agreements governing our outstanding debt securities and other credit agreements to which we are a party from time to time contain, 
or may contain, covenants that restrict our ability to, among other things: 

	 incur additional indebtedness by certain subsidiaries; 

	 make certain investments; 

	 enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; 

	 sell or acquire certain assets or merge with or into other companies; and/or 

	 use assets as security in other transactions. 

Although we do not believe any of these covenants materially restrict our operations currently, a breach of one or more of the covenants 
could  result  in  adverse  consequences  that  could  negatively  impact  our  businesses,  results  of  operations,  and  financial  position.  These 
consequences may include the acceleration of amounts outstanding under certain of our credit facilities, triggering an obligation to redeem 
certain debt securities, termination of existing unused commitments by our lenders, refusal by our lenders to extend further credit under 
one or more of the facilities or to enter into new facilities or the lowering or modification of CNH Industrial’s credit ratings or those of one 
or more of its subsidiaries. For further information, see Note 24 “Debt” to the Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2021. 

CNH Industrial operates and will continue to operate, as a company that is resident in the U.K. for tax 
purposes; other tax authorities may treat CNH Industrial as being tax resident elsewhere
CNH Industrial is not incorporated in the U.K.; therefore, in order to be resident in the U.K. for tax purposes, CNH Industrial’s central 
management and control must be located (in whole or in part) in the U.K. The test of central management and control is largely a question 
of fact based on all the circumstances. The decisions of the U.K. courts and the published practice of Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs, 
or HMRC, suggest that CNH Industrial should be regarded as being U.K.-resident on this basis. The competent authority ruling referred to 
below supports this analysis. Although CNH Industrial’s “central management and control” is in the U.K., it would not be treated as U.K.-
resident if (a) CNH Industrial were concurrently resident in another jurisdiction (applying the tax residence rules of that jurisdiction) which 
has a double tax treaty with the U.K.; and (b) that tax treaty allocates exclusive residence to that other jurisdiction. 

Although CNH Industrial’s central management and control is in the U.K., CNH Industrial is considered to be resident in the Netherlands 
for Dutch corporate income tax and Dutch dividend withholding tax purposes because CNH Industrial is incorporated in the Netherlands. 
The U.K. and Dutch competent authorities have agreed, following a mutual agreement procedure (as contemplated by the Netherlands-U.K. 
tax treaty), that CNH Industrial will be regarded as solely resident in the U.K. for purposes of the application of the Netherlands-U.K. tax 
treaty provided that CNH Industrial operates as planned and provides appropriate required evidence to the U.K. and Dutch competent 
tax authorities. If the facts upon which the competent authorities issued this ruling change over time, this ruling may be withdrawn or cease 
to apply and in that case the Netherlands may levy corporate income tax on CNH Industrial and impose withholding taxes on dividends 
distributed by CNH Industrial.

CNH Industrial’s residence for Italian tax purposes is also largely a question of fact based on all the circumstances. CNH Industrial has a 
management and organizational structure such that CNH Industrial should not be deemed resident in Italy under Italian domestic law except 
to the extent of CNH Industrial’s Italian branch, and should be deemed resident exclusively in the U.K. from the date of its incorporation 
for  purposes  of  the  Italy-U.K.  tax  treaty.  Because  this  analysis  is  highly  factual  and  may  depend  on  future  changes  in  CNH  Industrial’s 

39

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSmanagement and organizational structure, there can be no assurance regarding the final determination of its tax residence. Should CNH 
Industrial be treated as an Italian tax resident, CNH Industrial would be subject to corporate income tax in Italy on its worldwide income 
and may be required to comply with withholding tax on dividends and other distributions and/or reporting obligations under Italian law, 
which could result in additional costs and expenses.  

Tax may be required to be withheld from dividend payments 
Although the U.K. and Dutch competent authorities have ruled that we should be treated as solely resident in the U.K. for the purposes of 
the Netherlands-U.K. double tax treaty, under Dutch domestic law dividend payments made by us to Dutch residents are still subject to 
Dutch dividend withholding tax and we would have no obligation to pay additional amounts in respect of such payments. 

Should withholding taxes be imposed on future dividends or distributions with respect to our common shares, whether such withholding 
taxes are creditable against a tax liability to which a shareholder is otherwise subject depends on the laws of such shareholder’s jurisdiction 
and such shareholder’s particular circumstances. Shareholders are urged to consult their tax advisors in respect of the consequences of the 
potential imposition of withholding taxes. 

We may incur additional tax expense or become subject to additional tax exposure
We are subject to income taxes in many jurisdictions around the world. Our tax liabilities are dependent upon the location of earnings 
among these different jurisdictions. Our future results of operations could be adversely affected by changes in the consolidated effective tax 
rate as a result of a change in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in our overall profitability, changes 
in tax legislation and rates, changes in generally accepted accounting principles and changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and 
liabilities. If our effective tax rates were to increase, or if the ultimate determination of our taxes owed is for an amount in excess of amounts 
previously accrued or paid, our operating results, cash flows, and financial position could be adversely affected. For further information, see 
Note 9 “Income tax (expense) benefit” to the Consolidated Financial Statements at December 31, 2021.  

RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON SHARES
Our maintenance of two exchange listings may adversely affect liquidity in the market for our common shares 
and could result in pricing differentials of our common shares between the two exchanges
The dual listing of our common shares on the NYSE and the Euronext Milan (previously named MTA) may split trading between the two 
markets and adversely affect the liquidity of the shares in one or both markets and the development of an active trading market for our 
common shares on the NYSE and may result in price differentials between the exchanges. Differences in the trading schedules, trading 
volume and investor bases, as well as volatility in the exchange rate between the two trading currencies, among other factors, may result in 
different trading prices for our common shares on the two exchanges or otherwise adversely affect liquidity and trading prices of our shares. 

The loyalty voting program may affect the liquidity of our common shares and reduce our share price 
CNH Industrial’s loyalty voting program is intended to reward shareholders for maintaining long-term share ownership by granting initial 
shareholders and persons holding shares continuously for at least three years, the option to elect to receive special voting shares. Special 
voting shares cannot be traded and, immediately prior to the transfer of our common shares from the CNH Industrial Loyalty Register, 
any corresponding special voting shares shall be transferred to CNH Industrial for no consideration (om niet). This loyalty voting program is 
designed to encourage a stable shareholder base and, conversely, it may deter trading by those shareholders who are interested in gaining 
or retaining special voting shares. Therefore, the loyalty voting structure may reduce liquidity in our common shares and adversely affect 
their trading price.   

The loyalty voting program may prevent or frustrate attempts by our shareholders to change  
our management and hinder efforts to acquire a controlling interest in us, and the market price  
of our common shares may be lower as a result
The provisions of our Articles of Association establishing the loyalty voting program may make it more difficult for a third party to acquire, 
or attempt to acquire, control of us, even if a change of control is considered favorably by shareholders holding a majority of our common 
shares.  As  a  result  of  the  loyalty  voting  program,  a  relatively  large  proportion  of  the  voting  power  of  our  common  shares  could  be 
concentrated in a relatively small number of shareholders who would have significant influence over us. As of December 31, 2021, EXOR 
N.V.  had  a  voting  interest  in  CNH  Industrial  of  approximately  42.5%.  For  further  information,  see  section  “Major  Shareholders”.  Such 
shareholders participating in the loyalty voting program could effectively prevent change of control transactions that may otherwise benefit 
our shareholders.  

The loyalty voting program may also prevent or discourage shareholders’ initiatives aimed at changes in our management.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK FACTORSBUSINESS OVERVIEW

INTRODUCTION

During 2021, CNH Industrial completed a strategic project to separate the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain 
business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business”) from the Agriculture business, the Construction 
business, and the related Financial Services business.

The Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. in accordance with Section 2:334a (3) of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk 
Wetboek) by way of a legal statutory demerger ( juridische afsplitsing) to Iveco Group N.V. (the “Demerger”), effective January 1, 2022. 
A description of the principal phases leading up to completion of the Demerger is provided in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements.

As the transaction took effect on January 1, 2022, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 relate to 
CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger. Moreover, in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, as the 
Demerger became highly probable in December, the Iveco Group Business is classified and presented as Discontinued Operations in these 
consolidated financial statements. That presentation has resulted in the following:

	 for  both  years  2021  and  2020  (the  latter  presented  for  comparative  purposes),  the  operating  results  of  Iveco  Group  Business  are 
presented in a single line item “Profit/(Loss) from Discontinued Operations, net of tax” within the Consolidated Income Statement; 

	 all  assets  and  liabilities  (excluding  equity)  relating  to  Iveco  Group  Business  at  December  31,  2021  are  reclassified  as  Assets  held  for 
distribution and Liabilities held for distribution, respectively, within the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position;

	 for both years 2021 and 2020 (the latter presented for comparative purposes), the cash flows arising from the Iveco Group Business 
(as Discontinued Operations) are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as separate line items under cash flows from 
operating, investing and financing activities.

For additional detail of items presented under Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income, Financial Position and 
Cash Flows, refer to the section “Scope of Consolidation - Discontinued Operations - Iveco Group Business”.

Additionally, as the Demerger is a “business combination involving entities or businesses under common control”, it is outside the scope of 
application of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations and IFRIC 17- Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners. Accordingly, in the 2022 consolidated 
financial  statements  for  CNH  Industrial  and  Iveco  Group,  the  opening  position  for  items  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  will  be 
equivalent to the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger.

GENERAL 

Until December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial was a leading global capital goods company engaged in the design, production, marketing, sale, 
and financing of agricultural and construction equipment, trucks, commercial vehicles, buses and specialty vehicles for firefighting, defense 
and other uses, as well as engines, transmissions and axles for those vehicles and engines for marine and power generation applications. 
At the same date, CNH Industrial had industrial and financial services companies located in 44 countries and a commercial presence in 
approximately 180 countries.

Following the Demerger, effective January 1, 2022, CNH Industrial is a leading global capital goods company engaged in the design, production, 
marketing, sale, and financing of agricultural and construction equipment.

Until December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial had the following five operating segments: 

41

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWContinuing Operations – Industrial Activities Segments
	 Agriculture designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of farm machinery and implements, including two-wheel and four-wheel 
drive  tractors,  crawler  tractors  (Quadtrac®),  combines,  cotton  pickers,  grape  and  sugar  cane  harvesters,  hay  and  forage  equipment, 
planting and seeding equipment, soil preparation and cultivation implements, and material handling equipment. Agricultural equipment is 
sold under the New Holland Agriculture and Case IH brands, as well as the STEYR, Kongskilde and Överum brands in Europe and the 
Miller brand, primarily in North America and Australia. 

	 Construction designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of construction equipment including excavators, crawler dozers, graders, 
wheel  loaders,  backhoe  loaders,  skid  steer  loaders,  and  compact  track  loaders.  Construction  equipment  is  sold  under  the  CASE 
Construction Equipment and New Holland Construction brands. 

Discontinued Operations – Industrial Activities Segments
	 Commercial and Specialty Vehicles designs, manufactures and distributes a full range of light, medium, and heavy vehicles for the 
transportation and distribution of goods under the IVECO brand, city-buses, commuter buses under the IVECO BUS (previously Iveco 
Irisbus) and HEULIEZ BUS brands, quarry and mining equipment under the IVECO ASTRA brand, firefighting vehicles under the Magirus 
brand, and vehicles for civil defense and peace-keeping missions under the Iveco Defence Vehicles brand.  

	 Powertrain designs, manufactures and distributes, under the FPT Industrial brand, a range of combustion engines, alternative propulsion 
systems, transmission systems and axles for on- and off-road applications, as well as for marine and power generation. 

Financial Services
	 Financial Services, prior to the Demerger, offered a range of financial products and services to dealers and customers of both Off-
Highway and On-Highway Industrial Activities segments. Financial Services provided and administered retail financing to customers for 
the purchase or lease of new and used vehicles and other equipment sold by CNH Industrial brand dealers. In addition, Financial Services 
provided wholesale financing to CNH Industrial brand dealers. Wholesale financing consists primarily of floor plan financing and allows 
the dealers to purchase and maintain a representative inventory of products. Financial Services also provided trade receivables factoring 
services to CNH Industrial companies.

  Following  the  Demerger,  the  European  operations  of  CNH  Industrial  Financial  Services  will  be  separated  as  follows:  the  receivable 
portfolios related to the captive activity of each group (CNH Industrial and Iveco Group), together with the related funding, will be 
attributed to each group, while the servicing of these separated portfolios will be performed by Iveco Group’s Financial Services segment. 
CNH Industrial will provide financial services to Iveco Group companies in the rest of the world.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWINDUSTRY OVERVIEW 
Agriculture 
The operators of dairy, livestock and row crop producing farms, as well as independent contractors that provide services to such farms, 
purchase most agricultural equipment. Row crop farmers typically purchase tractors at the mid-to-upper end of the horsepower (“hp”) 
range, combines and harvesting equipment and crop production equipment. Dairy and livestock farmers typically utilize tractors in the 
mid-to-lower hp range and crop preparation and crop packaging implements. The key factors influencing sales of agricultural equipment 
are the level of net farm income and, to a lesser extent, general economic conditions, interest rates and the availability of financing and 
related subsidy programs, farm land prices and farm debt levels. Net farm income is primarily impacted by the volume of acreage planted, 
commodity and/or livestock prices and stock levels, the impacts of fuel ethanol demand, crop yields, farm operating expenses (including 
fuel and fertilizer costs), fluctuations in currency exchange rates, government subsidies, tax incentives and trade policies. Farmers tend to 
postpone the purchase of equipment when the farm economy is deteriorating and to increase their purchases when economic conditions 
improve. The availability, quality, and cost of used equipment for sale also affect the level of new equipment sales. Weather conditions are 
a major determinant of crop yields and therefore affect equipment-buying decisions. In addition, geographical variations in weather from 
season-to-season  may  affect  sales  volumes  differently  in  different  markets.  Government  policies  may  affect  the  market  for  agricultural 
equipment by regulating the amount of acreage planted, with direct subsidies affecting specific commodity prices, or with other payments 
made directly to farmers. Global organization initiatives, such as those of the World Trade Organization, also can affect the market with 
demands for changes in governmental policies and practices regarding agricultural subsidies, tariffs and acceptance of genetically modified 
organisms such as seed, feed and animals. 

Demand for agricultural equipment also varies seasonally by region and product, primarily due to differing climates and farming calendars. 
Peak retail demand for tractors and planting, seeding, and application equipment typically occurs in March through June in the Northern 
hemisphere  and  in  September  through  December  in  the  Southern  hemisphere.  Dealers  order  equipment  year-round  but  harvesting 
equipment orders in the Northern hemisphere generally increase in the late fall and winter so that the dealers can receive inventory prior 
to the peak retail selling season, which generally extends from March through June. In the Southern hemisphere, dealers generally order 
between August and October so they can receive inventory prior to the peak retail-selling season, which extends from November through 
February. Agriculture’s production levels are based upon estimated retail demand, which takes into account, among other things, the timing 
of dealer shipments (which occur in advance of retail demand), dealer and Company inventory levels, the need to retool manufacturing 
facilities to produce new or different models, and the efficient use of labor and facilities. Production levels are adjusted to reflect changes in 
estimated demand and dealer inventory levels. However, because production and wholesale shipments adjust throughout the year to take 
into account the factors described above, wholesale sales of agricultural equipment products in any given period may not reflect the timing 
of dealer orders and retail demand for that period. This situation has been emphasized during the current pandemic environment where the 
global supply chain has been disrupted for a series of reasons linked with production not able to match demand and transportation becoming 
congested with increases in lead times and expenses. 

Customer preferences regarding farming practices, and thus product types and features, vary by region. In North America, Australia and 
other areas where soil conditions, climate, economic factors and population density allow for intensive mechanized agriculture, farmers 
generally demand high capacity, sophisticated machines equipped with the most advanced technology. In Europe, where farms are generally 
smaller in size than those in North America and Australia, there is greater demand for somewhat smaller, yet equally sophisticated, machines. 
In the developing regions of the world where labor is more abundant and infrastructure, soil conditions and/or climate are not conducive to 
intensive agriculture, customers generally prefer simple, robust and durable machines with relatively lower acquisition and operating costs. In 
many developing countries, tractors are the primary, if not the sole, type of agricultural equipment used, and much of the agricultural work 
in such countries that cannot be performed by tractors is carried out by hand. A growing number of part-time farmers, hobby farmers and 
customers engaged in landscaping, municipality and park maintenance, golf course and roadside mowing in Western Europe and North 
America prefer relatively simple, low-cost agricultural equipment. Our position as a geographically diversified manufacturer of agricultural 
equipment and our broad geographic network of dealers allows us to provide customers in each significant market with equipment that 
meets their specific requirements.

Major trends in the North American and Western European agricultural industries include a reduction in number but growth in size of 
farms, supporting increased demand for higher capacity agricultural equipment. In addition, we believe that the use of technology and other 
precision farming solutions (including the development of autonomously operated equipment) to enhance productivity and profitability 
are becoming more important in the buyers’ purchasing decision. In South America and in other emerging markets, the number of farms is 
growing, and mechanization is replacing manual labor. In Rest of World, long-term demographic trends, increasing urbanization, and low level 
of farm mechanization represent the key drivers of demand for agricultural equipment. 

Government  farm  programs,  including  the  amount  and  timing  of  government  payments,  are  a  key  income  driver  for  farmers  raising 
certain commodity crops in the United States (the “U.S.”) and the European Union. The existence of a high level of subsidies in these 
markets for agricultural equipment reduces the effects of cyclicality in the agricultural equipment business. The effect of these subsidies 
on agricultural equipment demand depends largely on the U.S. Farm Bill and programs administered by the United States Department of 
Agriculture, the Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union and World Trade Organization negotiations. Additionally, the Brazilian 

43

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWgovernment subsidizes the purchase of agricultural equipment through low-rate financing programs administered by the Banco Nacional de 
Desenvolvimento Economico e Social (“BNDES”). These programs have a significant influence on sales. 

Agricultural equipment manufacturers are subject to, among other things, continuous changes in engine emission regulations and restrictions. 
These  changes  require  frequent  changes  in  engine  technology,  which  can  involve  significant  research  and  development  investments. 
Manufacturers generally attempt to pass these incremental costs on their customers, but these price increases must be balanced with the 
affordability of the equipment. Each market may have its own unique emissions regulations, which adds a level of complexity required to 
meet global product needs. 

Global demand for renewable fuels increased considerably in recent years driven by consumer preference, government renewable fuel 
mandates, renewable fuel tax and production incentives. Biofuels, which include fuels such as ethanol and biodiesel, have become one of the 
most prevalent types of renewable fuels. The primary type of biofuel supported by government mandates and incentives varies by region. 
North America and Brazil are promoting ethanol first and then biodiesel, while Europe is primarily focused on biodiesel. 

The demand for biofuels has created an associated demand for agriculturally based feedstocks, which are used to produce biofuels. Currently, 
most of the ethanol in the U.S. and Europe is extracted from corn, while in Brazil it is extracted from sugar cane. Biodiesel is typically 
extracted from soybeans and rapeseed oil in the U.S. and Brazil, and from rapeseed and other oil seeds as well as food waste by-products 
in Europe. The use of corn and soybeans for biofuel has been one of the main factors affecting the supply and demand relationships, as well 
as the price for these crops. The economic feasibility of biofuels is significantly impacted by the price of oil. As the price of oil falls, biofuels 
become a less attractive alternative energy source. This relationship will, however, be impacted by government policy and mandates as 
governments around the world consider ways to combat global warming and avoid potential energy resource issues in the future. 

Sustainability and being a Clean Energy Leader has been a focus of CNH Industrial since 2009. During the 2021 United Nations Climate 
Change Conference, COP26 event in Scotland, there was an emphasis on carbon reduction with significant attention on livestock and dairy 
farming and their impact on emissions from animal waste. With the use of a bio-digester, animal waste and food waste can be processed to 
produce bio-methane. New Holland has developed a Methane Powered Tractor, which started production in 2021, that runs on methane 
produced on the farm from the animal and food waste. The New Holland Methane Powered Tractor was twice awarded the prestigious 
Sustainable Tractor of the Year award, most recently at the 2022 EIMA international show and several Methane Power tractors were retailed 
after intensive testing around the world. Moreover, in 2021 CNH Industrial has participated with a minority equity share participation into 
the U.K. based technology start-up, Bennamann, which has developed an on-site kit for small-medium size livestock farms to capture and 
repurpose fugitive methane as a green fuel from their waste and generate bio-methane which would allow a successful implementation of 
the circular economy in the core of that Agricultural space where we see concerning CO2 emissions.
This approach also improves the sustainability of farmland management practices through minimizing artificial inputs such as manufactured 
fertilizer, lowering operational costs and reducing pollutants. This concept will contribute to the dairy farms decarbonization and the ‘Energy 
Independent’ approach is currently being tested across a number of pilot farms in South West England. Bio-methane production started 
demonstrating the viability of the closed loop energy system.

The most significant change in U.S. crop production was the increase in acreage devoted to corn, typically using land previously planted with 
soybeans and cotton. In addition, a change in crop rotation resulted in more acres of corn being planted. As a result, agricultural producers 
are faced with new challenges for managing crop residues and are changing the type of equipment they use and how they use it.  

Although the demand for new agricultural equipment tends to decrease during periods of economic stagnation or recession, the aftersales 
market is historically less volatile than the new equipment market and, therefore, helps limit the impact of declines in new equipment sales 
on the operating results of full-line manufacturers, such as Agriculture.

The  construction  equipment  market  consists  of  two  principal  segments:  heavy  construction  equipment  (excluding  the  mining  and  the 
specialized forestry equipment markets in which we do not participate), with equipment generally weighing more than 12 metric tons, and 
light construction equipment, with equipment generally weighing less than 12 metric tons. 

In developed markets, customers tend to prefer more sophisticated machines equipped with the latest technology and features to improve 
operator productivity. In developing markets, customers tend to prefer equipment that is relatively less costly and has greater perceived 
durability. In North America and Europe, where the cost of machine operators is higher relative to fuel costs and machine depreciation, 
customers typically emphasize productivity, performance and reliability. In other markets, where the relative cost for machine operators is 
lower, customers often continue to use equipment after its performance and efficiency have begun to diminish.  

Customer  demand  for  power  and  operating  capacity  does  not  vary  significantly  from  market  to  market.  However,  in  many  countries, 
restrictions on equipment weight or dimensions, as well as road regulations or job site constraints can limit demand for larger machines. 

Although the demand for new construction equipment tends to decrease during periods of economic stagnation or recession, the aftersales 
market is historically less volatile than the new equipment market and, therefore, helps limit the impact of declines in new equipment sales 
on the operating results of full-line manufacturers, such as Construction.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWHeavy Construction 
Heavy construction equipment typically includes general construction equipment such as large wheel loaders and excavators, and road 
building and site  preparation equipment such as graders, compactors and dozers. Purchasers of heavy construction equipment include 
construction  companies,  municipalities,  local  governments,  rental  fleet  owners,  quarrying  and  mining  companies,  waste  management 
companies and forestry-related concerns. 

Sales of heavy construction equipment depend on the expected volume of major infrastructure construction and repair projects such as 
highway, tunnel, dam and harbor projects, which depend on government spending and economic growth. Demand for aggregate mining 
and quarrying equipment is more closely linked to the general economy and commodity prices, while growing demand for environmental 
equipment is becoming less sensitive to the economic cycle. In North America, a portion of heavy equipment demand has historically been 
linked to the development of new housing subdivisions, where the entire infrastructure needs to be created, thus linking demand for both 
heavy and light construction equipment. The heavy equipment industry generally follows macroeconomic cyclicality, linked to growth in 
gross domestic product. 

Light Construction 
Light construction equipment is also known as compact and service equipment, and it includes skid-steer loaders, compact track loaders, 
tractor loaders, rough terrain forklifts, backhoe loaders, small wheel loaders and excavators. Purchasers of light construction equipment 
include contractors, residential builders, utilities, road construction companies, rental fleet owners, landscapers, logistics companies, and 
farmers.  The  principal  factor  influencing  sales  of  light  construction  equipment  is  the  level  of  residential  and  commercial  construction, 
remodeling and renovation, which is influenced by interest rates and the availability of financing. Other major factors include the construction 
of light infrastructure, such as utilities, cabling and piping and maintenance expenditures. The principal use of light construction equipment is 
to replace relatively high-cost, slower manual work. Product demand in the United States and Europe has generally tended to mirror housing 
starts, but with lags of six to twelve months. In areas where labor is abundant, and the cost of labor is inexpensive relative to other inputs, 
such as in India, Africa and South America, the light construction equipment market is generally smaller. These regions represent potential 
areas of growth for light construction equipment in the medium to long-term as labor costs rise relative to the cost of equipment or the 
supply of labor contraction leading to increased mechanization. 

Equipment  rental  is  a  significant  element  of  the  construction  equipment  market.  Compared  to  the  U.K.  and  Japan,  where  there  is  an 
established market for long-term equipment rentals as a result of favorable tax treatment, the rental market in North America and Western 
Europe (except for the U.K.) consists mainly of short-term rentals of light construction equipment to individuals or small contractors for 
which the purchase of equipment is not cost effective or that need specialized equipment for specific jobs. In North America, the main rental 
product has traditionally been the backhoe loader and, in Western Europe, it has been the mini-excavator. As the market has evolved, a 
greater variety of light and heavy equipment products have become available to rent. In addition, rental companies have allowed contractors 
to  rent  machines  for  longer  periods  instead  of  purchasing  the  equipment,  enabling  contractors  to  complete  specific  job  requirements 
with greater flexibility and cost control. Large, national rental companies can significantly impact the construction equipment market, with 
purchase volumes being driven by their decisions to increase or decrease the size of their rental fleets based on rental utilization rates. 

Seasonal demand for construction equipment fluctuates somewhat less than for agricultural equipment. Nevertheless, in North America 
and Western Europe, housing construction generally slows during the winter months. North American and European industry retail demand 
for construction equipment is generally strongest in the second and fourth quarters. 

Agricultural  and  Landscaping  customers  also  contribute  to  a  significant  portion  of  the  North  America  light  equipment  market.  In  this 
segment the main applications are related to material handling.

In markets outside of North America, Western Europe and Japan, equipment demand may also be partially satisfied by importing used 
equipment. Used heavy construction equipment from North America may fulfill demand in the South American market and equipment 
from Western Europe may be sold to Central and Eastern European, North African and Middle Eastern markets. Used heavy and light 
equipment from Japan is mostly sold to other Southeast Asian markets, while used excavators from Japan are sold to almost every other 
market in the world. This flow of used equipment is highly influenced by exchange rates, the weight and dimensions of the equipment and 
the different local regulations in terms of safety and/or engine emissions. 

The construction equipment industry has seen an increase in the use of hydraulic excavators and wheel loaders in earth-moving and material 
handling applications. In addition, the light equipment sector has grown as more manual labor is being replaced on construction sites by 
machines  with  a  variety  of  attachments  for  specialized  applications,  such  as  skid  steer  loaders,  compact  track  loaders  and  mini-crawler 
excavators.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWCommercial and Specialty Vehicles 
Trucks and Commercial Vehicles 
The world truck market is generally divided into two segments: Light Commercial Vehicles (“LCV”) market (gross vehicle weight (“GVW”) 
3.5-7.49 metric tons), and Medium and Heavy (“M&H”) truck market (GVW above 7.5 metric tons). The M&H segment is characterized 
by a higher level of engineering specialization due to the technologies and production systems utilized, while the LCV segment has many 
engineering and design characteristics in common with the automobile industry. In addition, operators of M&H trucks often require vehicles 
with a higher degree of customization than the more standardized products that serve the LCV market. Customers generally purchase 
heavy trucks for one of three primary uses: long distance haulage, construction haulage, and/or distribution. 

The regional variation in demand for trucks and commercial vehicles is influenced by differing economic conditions, levels of infrastructure 
development, and geographic region, all of which lead to differing transport requirements. 

M&H truck demand tends to be closely aligned with the general economic cycle and the capital investment cycle including the general level 
of interest rates and, governmental subsidy programs, particularly in more developed markets such as Europe, North America and Japan, as 
economic growth provides increased demand for haulage services and an incentive for transporters to invest in more efficient, less polluting, 
higher capacity vehicles and renew vehicle fleets. The product life-cycle for M&H trucks typically covers a seven to ten-year period. 

Although economic cycles have a significant influence on demand for M&H trucks in emerging economies, the processes of industrialization 
and infrastructure development have generally driven long-term growth trends in these countries. As a country’s economy becomes more 
industrialized  and  its  infrastructure  develops,  transport  needs  tend  to  grow  in  response  to  increases  in  production  and  consumption. 
Developing economies, however, tend to display volatility in short-term demand resulting from government intervention, changes in the 
availability of financial resources and protectionist trade policies. In developing markets, demand for M&H trucks increases when it becomes 
more cost-effective to transport heavier loads, especially as the infrastructure, primarily roads and bridges, becomes capable of supporting 
heavier trucks. At the same time, the need to transport goods tends to increase in these markets, resulting in increased demand for LCV. 

Industry  forecasts  indicate  that  transportation  of  goods  by  road,  currently  the  predominant  mode  of  transport,  will  remain  so  for  the 
foreseeable future. Furthermore, IVECO also offers personalized aftersales customer assistance programs that provide a wide range of 
modular and flexible maintenance and repair contracts, as well as warranty extension services, to meet a variety of customers’ needs and to 
support the vehicle’s value over time: demand for those services, as well as for parts, is a function of the number of vehicles in use. Although 
demand for new commercial vehicles tends to decrease during periods of economic stagnation or recession, the demand for those services 
is historically less volatile than the new vehicle market and, therefore, helps limit the impact of declines in new vehicle sales on the operating 
results of full-line manufacturers, such as Commercial and Specialty Vehicles. 

Commercial vehicles markets are subject to intense competition based on initial sales price, cost and performance of vehicles over their 
life cycle (i.e., purchase price, operating and maintenance costs and residual value of the vehicle at the end of its useful life), services and 
service-related products and the availability of financing options. High reliability and low variable costs contribute to customer profitability 
over the life of the vehicle and are usually important factors in an operator’s purchase decision. Additional competitive factors include the 
manufacturer’s ability to address customer transport requirements, driver safety, comfort, and brand loyalty through vehicle design. 

Demand for trucks varies seasonally by region and by product class. In Europe, the peak retail demand occurs in the second and fourth 
quarters due to key fleet customer demands and customer budgetary cycles. In South America, demand is relatively stable throughout the 
year except for increased demand for heavy trucks in the first and fourth quarters from customers who transport foodstuffs. In Rest of 
World, sales tend to be higher in the second and fourth quarters due to local holiday periods. 

Although we believe that diesel remains, for the foreseeable future, a key fuel source for commercial vehicles and industrial equipment in 
general, the adoption of new engine technological solutions and growing public opinion in favor of more environmentally friendly solutions 
are pushing for increased penetration of both alternative and renewable fuels (such as compressed natural gas (“CNG”), liquefied natural 
gas (“LNG”), and methane and hydrogen) and full electric vehicles. 

The car industry is leading autonomous vehicle development, but commercial vehicles are also making advances in platooning and autonomous 
technologies.  We  expect  this  development  to  intensify.  We  believe  that  the  growing  automation  in  transportation  and  infrastructure 
solutions through the use of self-driving vehicles will also allow the industry to provide greater safety, fuel savings, and transport efficiency. 

Buses  
The global bus business is organized by mission, from city and intercity transport to tourism purposes, with a capacity ranging from 7 to 
150 seated/standing passengers. IVECO BUS (previously Iveco Irisbus) and HEULIEZ BUS target markets include urban and intercity buses. 
Operators in this industry include three types of manufacturers: those specialized in providing chassis to bodybuilders, those that build 
bodies on chassis produced by third parties, and those, like IVECO BUS, that produce the entire vehicle.  

The primary customers of the bus segment are tour and intercity bus service operators, while the principal customers of the city bus 
segment are the transport authorities in urban areas.  

46

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWDeregulation and privatization of transport services in many markets have favored concentration towards large private companies operating 
in one country, in more than one neighboring country, or at an international level. Demand has increased for highly standardized, high-
use products for large fleets, with financing and maintenance agreements or kilometric pricing. Deregulation and privatization have also 
increased competition between large transport service companies, raising the level of vehicle use and increasing the choice of brands for 
operators in the market. 

Sales for urban and intercity buses are generally higher in the second half of the year, due to public entities budgeting processes, tender rules, 
and bus production lead-time. 

Powertrain  
The dynamics of the industrial powertrain business vary across the different market segments in which the various propulsion systems 
are used. For vehicle and equipment applications, product development is driven by regulatory requirements (i.e., legislation on pollutant 
emissions  and,  increasingly,  CO2  emissions),  as  well  as  the  need  to  reduce  total  operating  costs:  customers  are  seeking  more  efficient 
propulsion systems that lower the total cost of ownership and improve productivity. 

For  on-road  applications  in  developed  markets,  where  economy  and  infrastructure  drive  demand  for  local  and  haulage  transportation, 
demand for engines is driven by general economic conditions, capital investment, industrialization, and infrastructure developments.  

In the bus and marine markets, engine demand is increasingly influenced by the environmental policies of governments and local authorities 
(i.e., requirements for natural gas, hybrid and electric solutions). 

Demand for off-road applications in the agricultural industry is influenced by many factors, including the price of agricultural commodities and 
the relative level of new and used inventories, the profitability of agricultural enterprises, net farm income, the demand for food products, 
agricultural policies, as well as climatic conditions. At the same time, the construction equipment business is driven by general economic 
factors and the level of public investment in infrastructure, which affects the need for replacement of old equipment and investment in more 
innovative solutions to boost productivity.  

Increasingly  stringent  emission  regulations  in  Europe,  the  U.S.  and  Asia  represent  an  opportunity  for  Powertrain  to  gain  a  competitive 
advantage through technological solutions developed for engines and after-treatment systems (such as our High Efficiency SCR technology). 
Alternative fuels represent a viable alternative to diesel for transport vehicles, as they are more environment friendly and offer better fuel 
economy than diesel while performing comparably to diesel engines (e.g., LNG for Buses and Commercial Vehicles). Increasing demand 
for alternative propulsion systems (such as electrified powertrain or fuel cell) is expected to continue, as related technologies are growing 
quickly and will offer business opportunities in the industrial sector. The increasing trend among mid-sized original equipment manufacturers 
(“OEMs”) to outsource engine development, due to the significant research and development expenditures required to meet the new 
emission requirements, presents an opportunity for Powertrain to increase sales to third party customers.  

COMPETITION 

The industries in which we operate are highly competitive. We believe that we have many competitive strengths that will enable us to 
improve our position in markets where we are already well established while we direct additional resources to markets and products with 
high growth potential. 

We compete with: (i) large global full-line equipment manufacturers with a presence in every market and a broad range of products that 
cover most customer needs, (ii) manufacturers who are product specialists focused on particular industry segments on either a global or 
regional basis, (iii) regional full-line manufacturers, some of which are expanding worldwide to build a global presence, and (iv) local, low-cost 
manufacturers in individual markets, particularly in emerging markets such as Eastern Europe, India and China.  

Our  competitive  strengths  include  well-recognized  brands,  a  full  range  of  competitive  products  and  features,  a  strong  presence, 
distribution and customer service network. There are multiple factors that influence a buyer’s choice of industrial equipment. These 
factors include the strength and quality of the distribution network, brand loyalty, product features, quality and performance, availability 
of a full product range, pricing, technological innovations, product availability, financing terms, parts and warranty programs, resale value 
and customer service and satisfaction. The ability to meet or exceed applicable engine emissions standards as they take effect is also a 
key competitive factor, particularly in those markets where such standards are the subject of frequent legislative or regulatory scrutiny 
and change, such as Europe and North America. Emission regulations are becoming a significant competitive factor at global level with 
new legislation in India and China. We continually seek to improve in each of these areas but focus primarily on providing high-quality and 
high-value products and on supporting those products through our dealer networks. Customers’ perceptions of product value in terms 
of productivity, reliability, resale value and dealer support are formed over many years. Buyers tend to favor brands based on experience 
with the product and the dealer.  

The efficiency of our manufacturing, logistic and scheduling systems are dependent on forecasts of industry volumes and our anticipated 
share of industry sales, which is predicated on our ability to compete successfully with others in the marketplace. We compete based on 

47

On September 3, 2019, CNH Industrial announced a strategic and exclusive Heavy-Duty Truck partnership with Nikola Corporation, a U.S. 
based company pursuing fuel cell truck technology development. In this context, CNH Industrial, through its wholly owned subsidiary Iveco 
S.p.A., made an initial subscription to Nikola’s share capital (approximately 2.5% shareholding) through a cash contribution of $50 million and 
an in-kind contribution of $50 million, granting Nikola access to IVECO S-Way technology. 

During the second quarter of 2020, Nikola completed a business combination with VectoIQ Acquisition Corp., a publicly-traded special 
purpose acquisition company. Under the terms and conditions of the business combination, the former shareholders of Nikola received 
1.901 shares of VectoIQ for each share held in Nikola and became shareholders of VectoIQ, which, in turn, changed its name to “Nikola 
Corporation”.  The  combined  company’s  shares  continue  to  be  listed  on  NASDAQ  under  the  new  ticker  symbol  “NKLA”.  Before  the 
completion of the business combination, CNH Industrial increased its investment in Nikola, to $250 million. At December 31, 2021 Iveco 
S.p.A. beneficially owned approximately 6.208% of Nikola Corporation’s common stock.

Launches.  During  2021,  FPT  Industrial  collected  a  series  of  product  launches  and  news.  In  February,  the  Brand  presented  a  three-year 
partnership with Fontanafredda, which includes the supply of a concept of New Holland Agriculture TK Methane Power crawler vineyard 
tractor with biomethane to enable the world’s first zero-emissions harvest of a Barolo cru. The tractor is fueled by FPT Industrial F28 
Natural Gas engines and worked in the Vigna La Rosa cru that produces the grapes for the legendary Barolo of the same name, a wine which 
has been included in the Wine Spectator Top 100 of the world’s best wines. In April, during the 19th Shanghai International Automobile 
Industry  Exhibition,  FPT  Industrial  presented  the  innovative  Cursor  9,  Cursor  11,  and  Cursor  13  engines  meeting  in  advance  the  GBVI 
emission standards that were fully implemented in China, starting from July 1, 2021. The three new engines unveiled together with SFH fully 
expressed brand product strength, based on continuous technological development. The key advancements equipping the Cursor GBVI 
engines are the Ti-V (Titanium – Vanadium), guaranteeing the engine to be unstoppable, and the eVGT (Electronically-controlled Variable 
Geometry Turbocharger) for Cursor 13, making the GBVI the best choice for heavy duty trucks. In the same month, with a global digital 
launch called “Marine Virtual Experience”, FPT Industrial presented its further extension of the marine engine line-up for pleasure and 
commercial applications, specifically tuned for meeting the requirements of a wider audience. The core of the launch was the unveiling of 
the new C90 170 Stage V dedicated to heavy-duty missions and featuring an optimized fuel map that avoids the need for a urea-based after 
treatment system. The other highlight was the presentation of the keel cooling system, a solution for effectively cooling engines operating 
in sandy, muddy and shallow water, without the risk of obstructing the seawater filters and damaging the seawater pumps. During the 
digital presentation FPT Industrial also showed the N40 170 Stage V and the N67 450 N. Furthermore, the Brand expanded its products 
and  services  portfolio  offering  for  USA  and  Canada  customers  with  the  launch  of  a  new  and  comprehensive  line  of  high-quality,  high-
performance lubricants. From October 18 to 23, FPT Industrial took part in EIMA International 2021, the International Agricultural and 
Gardening Machinery Exhibition held in Bologna (Italy). During this occasion, the F28 engine in its NG and hybrid versions were displayed 
versions, together with the N67 NG, the F34 Stage V PowerPack and the N45.

new “the CEN”, an innovative formula of semi-medium truck designed to make a strong impact on the domestic South Korean market. 
In April, in Korea, LS Mtron has become the first Korean tractor manufacturer to adopt the class-leading F34 Stage V engine from FPT 
Industrial. Offering 55kW of maximum power at 2200 rpm and 375Nm of torque at 1400 rpm, the F34 Stage V is the driving force behind 
the new LS Mtron XP7074 Utility class 2 AG tractor. In the last quarter, Amazon signed an agreement for the supply of 1,064 IVECO S-Way 
CNG trucks which are equipped with the Cursor 13 Natural Gas engines. Amazon has already taken delivery of the first batch of 216 units 
to be operated by its partners in Europe, and another 848 units are on order with deliveries to start in mid-2022. Built in the WCM Gold-
Level Plant in Bourbon-Lancy (France), FPT Industrial’s Cursor 13 NG engine represents the best low environmental impact alternative for 
long-range operations. To be even closer to its customers, FPT Industrial launched MyFPT, an app for smartphone for all engine users. Clients 
all around the world can have at their fingertips data, user’s manuals and service schedules for FPT Industrial engines and machinery equipped 
with the brand’s engines. The app also ensures the status of the power unit in real time (such as the RPM, temperature, consumption, etc.) 
and grants assistance with a simple “tap”. In May, the Brand signed two Memoranda of Understanding with Landi Renzo Group, a leading 
company in the design, production and distribution of Compressed Natural Gas, Liquefied Natural Gas and Hydrogen components and 
systems, with the aim of exploring the possibility of collaborating on Clean Fuel projects. The Memoranda are focused on the possible 
development of Natural Gas and Hydrogen technology respectively.

Prizes and achievements. 2021 was a year of prizes for the Brand. At the beginning of 2021, FPT Industrial received the Good Design Award 
for its Cursor X, the innovative Multi-power, Modular, Multi-application and Mindful 4.0 power source concept. Founded in Chicago in 1950 
by Eero Saarinen and Charles and Ray Eames, and currently managed by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and 
The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, Good Design remains the oldest and the world’s most recognized 
program for design excellence worldwide. After that, FPT Industrial also celebrated the “Sustainable Tractor of the Year 2021” received by 
the Claas AXION 960 CEMOS. The winning tractor is fitted with the latest generation of FPT Industrial’s Cursor 9 Stage V engine. This 
6-cylinder engine delivers maximum power of 327 kW/460 hp at 1,800 rpm and maximum torque of 1,860 Nm at 1,400 rpm. In July 2021, 
FPT Industrial and its Bourbon-Lancy plant, France, were awarded with the Gold Medal in World Class Manufacturing. The road to the 
highest honor was built on solid pillars and knowledge, and key gold points mentioned were: quality, machining maintenance and karakuri 
system. The Bourbon-Lancy plant also celebrated the production of the 10,000th Cursor 13 NG engine, rolling off the line of its line on 
March 9. Moreover, in October, the 2022 “Tractor of the Year” was given to New Holland T6.180 Methane Power tractor, powered by 
the FPT Industrial N67 NG engine; the jury underlined the step forward towards more sustainable farming of the powering system. In the 
end of the year, the innovation, sustainability and design of the Red Horizon was awarded Gold Winner of the 2021 edition of the New 
York Product Design Awards. The jury selected the Red Horizon for the Watercraft Category for successfully consolidating technology, 
performance, power and design in a beautiful zero emission powerboat concept.

SALES AND DISTRIBUTION 
Agriculture and Construction 
Agriculture sells and  distributes products through approximately 2,500 full-line  dealers  and distributors with over 6,500 points  of  sale. 
Construction sells and distributes products through approximately 470 full-line dealers and distributors with over  1,500 points of sale. 
Agriculture’s and Construction’s dealers are almost all independently owned and operated. Some Agriculture dealers also sell construction 
equipment.  In  the  United  States,  Canada,  Mexico,  most  of  Western  Europe,  Brazil,  Argentina,  India,  China,  Russia,  Thailand,  Australia, 
and South Africa products are generally distributed directly through the independent dealer network. In the rest of the world, products 
are either sold to independent distributors who then resell to dealers, or to importers who have their own branches to sell products to 
retail customers. In both cases, the importers/distributors can take advantage of their size and knowledge of the market to minimize their 
marketing costs. 

Consistent with our brand promotion program, we generally seek to have dealers sell a full range of our products. Typically, greater market 
penetration is achieved where each dealer sells the full line of products from only one of the brands. Although appointing dealers to sell 
more than one brand is not part of our business model, some joint dealers exist, either for historic reasons or in limited markets where it is 
not feasible to have a separate dealer for each brand. In some cases, dealerships are operated under common ownership but with separate 
points of sale for each brand. In each region, we seek to optimize our distribution strategy to maximize customer satisfaction and sales while 
reducing structural costs.

In North America and Australia, a trade-in of used equipment typically accompanies the sale of new equipment to end-users. We often 
provide marketing assistance to our dealers to support the sale of used, trade-in equipment through subsidized financing incentives, inventory 
carrying cost defrayment, or other methods.

Exclusive, dedicated dealers generally provide a higher level of market penetration. Some dealers may sell complementary products manufactured 
by other suppliers to complete their product offerings or to satisfy local demand for a particular specialty application or segment.

A strong dealer network with wide geographic coverage is a critical element in the success of Agriculture and Construction. We work 
to enhance our dealer network through the expansion of our product lines and customer services, including enhanced financial services 

51

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWofferings,  and  an  increased  focus  on  dealer  support.  To  assist  dealers  in  building  rewarding  relationships  with  their  customers,  focused 
customer satisfaction programs have been introduced and they are expected to incorporate customer input into the relevant product 
development and service delivery processes.

As the equipment rental business becomes a more significant factor in both the agricultural and construction equipment markets, Agriculture 
and Construction are continuing to support their dealer network by facilitating sales of equipment to the local, regional and national rental 
companies through their dealers as well as by encouraging dealers to develop their own rental activities. A strong dealer service network 
is required to maintain the rental equipment, and to help ensure that the equipment remains at peak performance levels both during its 
life as rental equipment and afterward when resold into the used equipment market. Agriculture and Construction have launched several 
programs to support their dealer service and rental operations, including training, improved dealer standards, financing, and advertising. As 
the rental market is a capital-intensive sector and sensitive to cyclical variations, we expand such activities gradually, with special attention 
to managing the resale of rental units into the used equipment market by our dealers, who can utilize this opportunity to improve their 
customer base and generate additional parts and service business. 

We believe that it is generally more cost-effective to distribute our agricultural and construction equipment products through independent 
dealers,  although  Agriculture  and  Construction  maintain  a  limited  number  of  company-owned  dealerships  in  some  markets.  As  of 
December 31, 2021, we operated two Agriculture and Construction dealerships in North America and six company-owned Agriculture 
and Construction dealerships in Europe. We also operate a selective dealer development program, in territories with growth potential but 
underdeveloped representation by our agricultural and construction equipment brands, that typically involves a transfer of ownership to a 
qualified operator through a buy-out or private investment after a few years. 

Commercial and Specialty Vehicles 
Commercial and Specialty Vehicles’ worldwide distribution strategy is based on a network of independent dealers, in addition to its own 
dealerships and branches. As of December 31, 2021, Commercial and Specialty Vehicles had approximately 670 dealers globally (of which 16 
were directly owned by us and 11 were branches). All dealers sell spare parts for the relevant vehicles. Commercial and Specialty Vehicles 
bolsters its distribution strategy by offering incentives to its dealers based on target achievements for sales of new vehicles and parts and 
providing high quality aftersales services. 

As of December 31, 2021, Commercial and Specialty Vehicles had approximately 5,000 sales and/or service network points. In addition to 
Commercial and Specialty Vehicles’ standard one-year full vehicle warranty and two-year powertrain warranty, Commercial and Specialty 
Vehicles offers personalized aftersales customer assistance programs. 

A  key  element  of  Commercial  and  Specialty  Vehicles’  growth  strategy  is  its  distribution  network.  In Western  Europe,  Eastern  Europe, 
Turkey, Russia, Australia and Latin America, continued consolidation of the distribution network is aimed at improving service to customers 
(such as the implementation of the Truck Stations network of specialized workshops), increasing profitability and reducing overall distribution 
costs. In Africa and the Middle East, the distribution network is being expanded to fully exploit growth in these markets. 

In the U.K., Commercial and Specialty Vehicles is one of the OEMs that sells trucks and other commercial vehicles to companies which offer 
commercial vehicle rental solutions, such as Ryder, Fraikin and Burntree, among others. 

Powertrain  
Powertrain  provides  propulsion  solution  products  for  Commercial  and  Specialty  Vehicles,  Agriculture,  and  Construction  segments, 
powertrain generation units and marine applications. Additionally, Powertrain’s commercial strategy and business model are focused on the 
development of a portfolio of medium-to-large OEM customers. Powertrain has entered into long-term supply agreements with a growing 
number of third-party customers. 

At December 31, 2021, Powertrain has a network of approximately 66 distributors and 703 dealers/service points globally that covers its 
entire product range and related market sectors. Large OEMs use their own internal networks to obtain parts and services for purchased 
equipment, while small OEMs frequently rely on us for delivery of parts and services through Powertrain’s worldwide network. 

PRICING AND PROMOTION 

The retail price of any particular piece of equipment or vehicle is determined by the individual dealer or distributor and generally depends on 
market conditions, features, options and, potentially, regulatory requirements. Retail sale prices may differ from the manufacturer-suggested 
list prices, as a result of different factors (markets’ demand, customers’ specific requirements, local market conditions, general economic 
conditions, access to financing, etc.). We sell most of our portfolio to our dealers and distributors at wholesale prices that reflect a discount 
from the manufacturer-suggested list prices. In the ordinary course of business, we engage in promotional campaigns that may include price 
incentives or preferential financing terms with respect to the purchase of products.

52

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWWe regularly advertise our products to the community of farmers, builders, transporters and agricultural and construction contractors, 
as well as to distributors and dealers in each of our major markets. To reach our target audience, we use a combination of general media, 
specialized design and trade magazines, the Internet and direct mail. We also regularly participate in major international and national trade 
shows  and  engage  in  co-operative  advertising  programs  with  distributors  and  dealers.  The  promotion  strategy  for  each  brand  varies 
according to the target customers for that brand.

PARTS AND SERVICES 

The quality and timely availability of parts and services are important competitive factors for each of our businesses, as they are significant 
elements in overall dealer and customer satisfaction and important considerations in a customer’s original equipment purchase decision. We 
supply parts, many of which are proprietary, to support items in the current product line as well as for products we have sold in the past. 
We also offer personalized aftersales customer assistance programs that provide a wide range of modular and flexible maintenance and 
repair contracts, as well as warranty extension services, to meet a variety of customers’ needs and to support the vehicle’s value over time. 
Many of our products can have economically productive lives of up to 20 years when properly maintained, and each unit has the potential 
to produce a long-term parts and services revenue stream for us and our dealers. 

As of December 31, 2021 we operated and administered 46 parts depots worldwide either directly, through a joint venture, or through 
arrangements with warehouse service providers. This network includes 9 parts depots in North America, 14 in Europe, 3 in South America, 
and 20 in Rest of World. The network includes 31 parts depots that support Agriculture, 27 that support Construction, 19 that support 
Commercial  and  Specialty  Vehicles  and  6  that  support  Powertrain.  These  depots  supply  parts  to  dealers  and  distributors,  which  are 
responsible for sales to retail customers. Our parts depots and parts delivery systems provide customers with access to substantially all the 
parts required to support our products. 

JOINT VENTURES 

As part of a strategy to enter and expand in new markets, we are also involved in several commercial and/or manufacturing joint ventures. 
At December 31, 2021, they included the following: 

	 in Japan, we own 50.0% of New Holland HFT Japan Inc. (“HFT”), which distributes its products in Japan. HFT imports and sells the full 
range of New Holland agricultural equipment; 

	 in Pakistan, we own 43.2% of Al Ghazi Tractors Ltd., which manufactures and distributes New Holland tractors; 

	 in Turkey, we own 37.5% of Turk Traktor ve Ziraat Makineleri A.S., which manufactures and distributes various models of both New 
Holland and Case IH tractors;  

	 in Mexico, we own 50.0% of CNH de Mexico S.A. de C.V., which manufactures New Holland agricultural equipment and distributes our 
agricultural equipment through one or more of its wholly-owned subsidiaries; 

	 in China, we control 60% of SAIC Fiat Powertrain Hongyan Ltd (“SFH”), a manufacturing company located in Chongqing, which produces 
diesel engines under license from us to be sold in the Chinese market and to be exported to Europe, the U.S. and Latin America; 

	 in South Africa, we own 60.0% of Iveco South Africa Works (Pty) Ltd., which manufactures medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicles 
and buses; and 

	 in Germany, we own 50.0% of Nikola Iveco Europe GmbH, which will manufacture cab over battery-electric vehicle and hydrogen fuel 
cell electric vehicle trucks, jointly developed by Iveco S.p.A. and Nikola Corporation.

FINANCIAL SERVICES  

Financial Services offers a range of financial products and services to dealers and customers in the various regions in which it operates. The 
principal products offered are retail loan and lease financing for the purchase or lease of new and used equipment and vehicles, wholesale 
financing to dealers and factoring of trade receivables from CNH Industrial companies. Wholesale financing consists primarily of dealer floor 
plan financing and gives the dealers the ability to maintain a representative inventory of new products. In addition, Financial Services provides 
financing  to  dealers  for  used  equipment  and  vehicles  taken  in  trade,  equipment  utilized  in  dealer-owned  rental  yards,  parts  inventory, 
working capital and other financing needs. As a captive finance business, Financial Services is reliant on and supports the operations of 
Agriculture, Construction, Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, and Powertrain, their dealers, and customers. 

Financial Services supports the growth of Industrial Activities by developing and structuring financial products with the objective of increasing 
equipment and vehicle sales as well as profitability and customer loyalty. Financial Services’ strategy is to grow a core financing business to 
support the sale of our equipment and vehicles while at the same time maintaining its portfolio credit quality, service levels, operational 
effectiveness and customer satisfaction. Financial Services also offers products to finance third party equipment and vehicles sold through 

53

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWour dealer network or within our core businesses. Financed third party equipment and vehicles include used equipment and vehicles taken 
in trade on our products or equipment used in conjunction with or attached to our products. 

In North America, customer and dealer financing activities, which support the sales of Agriculture and Construction, are managed through 
our wholly-owned financial services companies. 

In  Europe,  there  are  two  joint  ventures  that  provide  retail  financing  to  customers  of  Agriculture,  Construction,  and  Commercial  and 
Specialty Vehicles, depending on the country of origin. CNH Industrial Capital Europe S.a.S., a joint venture with BNP Paribas Group, is 
49.9% owned by CNH Industrial N.V. and accounted for under the equity method, until the Demerger. Post-Demerger, CNH Industrial N.V. 
will own 24.95% and Iveco Group will own 24.95%. Transolver Finance Establecimiento Financiero de Credito S.A. (“Transolver Finance”), 
a joint venture with the Santander Group, is 49% owned by CNH Industrial N.V. and accounted for under the equity method until the 
Demerger. Post-Demerger, Transolver Finance will be part of the Iveco Group. Transolver Finance also provides wholesale financing to 
dealers. Additionally, there are vendor programs with banking partners that provide customer financing of Agriculture, Construction, and 
Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, in different countries. Customer and dealer financing activities not included in the joint ventures or 
vendor programs, such as factoring of trade receivables, are managed through our wholly-owned financial services companies until the 
Demerger. Post-Demerger these activities will be serviced by the Iveco Group, who will receive a fee for services rendered.  

Post-Demerger, in Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA), the Iveco Group Financial Services organization will provide services to the 
CNH Industrial Post-Demerger financial services on customer financing and factoring regulated in a specific Master Service Agreement 
(Financial Services Master Service Agreement). In Europe, CNH Industrial Financial Services S.A. (renamed in 2022 as Iveco Capital Financial 
Services S.A.), a French specialized credit institution with passporting to operate in main European countries, wholly-owned by Iveco Group, 
will manage CNH Industrial Post-Demerger dealer financing through a dedicated securitization. CNH Industrial Capital Solutions S.p.A. will 
retain the securitization program junior notes.

For South America, customer and dealer financing activities in Brazil are managed through our wholly-owned financial services company, 
Banco CNH Industrial Capital S.A. (“Banco CNH Industrial Capital”), which supports the sales of Agriculture, Construction, and Commercial 
and Specialty Vehicles. For customer financing, Banco CNH Industrial Capital mainly serves as a lender for funding provided by BNDES, a 
federally-owned financial institution linked to the Brazilian Ministry of Development, Industry and Foreign Trade. In Argentina, customer 
and dealer financing activities, which support the sales of Agriculture, Construction, and Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, are managed 
through a wholly-owned financial services company. Vendor programs with banking partners are also in place in Argentina.  

Post-Demerger, for South America, Banco CNH Industrial Capital S.A. will support and serve sales of Iveco Group with a Vendor Program. 
Banco CNH Industrial Capital will continue to serve as a lender for Iveco Group. In Argentina, CNH Industrial Post-Demerger Financial 
Services will support and serve sales of Iveco Group with a Vendor Program. 

For Rest of World, customer and dealer financing activities in Australia, New Zealand, Russia and India are managed through wholly-owned 
financial services companies. In China, dealer financing activities are managed through wholly-owned financial services companies. Post-
Demerger CNH Industrial Financial Services will provide dealer and customer financing activities for Iveco Group in Australia, New Zealand 
and Russia. CNH Industrial Financial Services will continue to provide customer and dealer financing activities for CNH Industrial activities 
in Australia, New Zealand, Russia, India and dealer financing activities in China.   

Customer Financing
Financial  Services  has  certain  retail  underwriting  and  portfolio  management  policies  and  procedures  that  are  specific  to  Agriculture, 
Construction, and Commercial and Specialty Vehicles. This distinction allows Financial Services to reduce risk by deploying industry-specific 
expertise in each of these businesses. We provide retail financial products primarily through our dealers, who are trained in the use of the 
various financial products. Dedicated credit analysis teams perform retail credit underwriting. The terms for financing equipment and vehicle 
retail sales typically provide for retention of a security interest in the equipment or vehicles financed. 

Financial Services’ guidelines for minimum down payments for equipment and vehicles generally range from 5% to 30% of the actual sales 
price, depending on equipment types, repayment terms, and customer credit quality. Finance charges are sometimes waived for specified 
periods or reduced on certain equipment sold or leased in advance of the season of use or in connection with other sales promotions. For 
periods during which finance charges are waived or reduced on the retail notes or leases, Financial Services generally receives compensation 
from the applicable Industrial Activities segment based on Financial Services’ estimated costs and a targeted return on equity. The cost is 
recognized as a reduction in net sales for the applicable Industrial Activities segment. 

Dealer Financing
Financial Services provides wholesale floor plan financing for nearly all our dealers. This allows them to acquire and maintain a representative 
inventory of products. Financial Services also provides financing to dealers for used equipment taken in trade, equipment utilized in dealer-
owned rental yards, parts inventory, working capital, and other financing needs. For floor plan financing, Financial Services generally provides 
a fixed period of “interest free” financing to the dealers. This practice helps to level fluctuations in factory demand and provides a buffer 

54

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWfrom  the  impact  of  sales  seasonality.  For  the  “interest-free”  period,  the  applicable  Industrial  Activities  segment  compensates  Financial 
Services based on Financial Services’ estimated costs and a targeted return on equity. The cost is recognized as a reduction in net sales for 
the applicable Industrial Activities segment. After the expiration of any “interest-free” period, interest is charged to dealers on outstanding 
balances until Financial Services receives payment in full.  

A wholesale underwriting group reviews dealer financial information and payment performance to establish credit lines for each dealer. In 
setting these credit lines, Financial Services seeks to meet the reasonable requirements of each dealer while managing its exposure to any 
one dealer. The credit lines are secured by the equipment or vehicles financed. Dealer credit agreements generally include a requirement 
to repay the particular financing at the time of the retail sale of the unit. Financial Services leverages employees, third party contractors, and 
new digital technologies like “geo-fencing” to conduct periodic stock audits at each dealership to confirm that the financed equipment or 
vehicle is maintained in inventory. These audits are unannounced, and their frequency varies by dealer and depends on the dealer’s financial 
strength, payment history, and prior performance. 

Factoring 
Financial Services also provides intragroup factoring of trade and other receivables. This activity involves the purchase (without recourse) of 
receivables of CNH Industrial companies, originating from the different Industrial Activities segments, and due from third or related parties.

Sources of Funding 
The long-term profitability of Financial Services’ activities largely depends on the cyclical nature of the industries in which we operate, interest 
rate volatility, and the ability to access funding on competitive terms. Financial Services funds its operations and lending activity through a 
combination of term receivable securitizations, committed secured and unsecured facilities, uncommitted lines of credit, unsecured bonds, 
unsecured commercial paper, affiliated financing, and retained earnings. Financial Services’ current funding strategy is to maintain sufficient 
liquidity and flexible access to a wide variety of financial instruments and funding options. 

Financial Services has periodically accessed the asset-backed securities (“ABS”) markets in the United States, Canada, and Australia, as part of 
its retail and wholesale financing programs when those markets offer funding opportunities on competitive terms. Financial Services has also 
accessed the unsecured bond market in the United States, Brazil, Argentina and Australia and commercial paper markets in the United States 
and France to diversify its funding sources. Financial Services’ ability to access these markets will depend, in part, upon general economic 
conditions and Financial Services’ financial condition and portfolio performance. These factors can be negatively affected by cyclical swings 
in the industries in which we operate. 

Competition 
The  financial  services  industry  is  highly  competitive.  Financial  Services  competes  primarily  with  banks,  equipment  finance  and  leasing 
companies and other financial institutions. Typically, this competition is based upon the financial products and services offered, customer 
service, financial terms, and interest rates charged. Financial Services’ ability to compete successfully depends upon, among other things, the 
availability and competitiveness of funding resources, the development of competitive financial products and services, and licensing or other 
governmental regulations. 

LEGAL PROCEEDINGS 

As a global company with a diverse business portfolio, CNH Industrial in the ordinary course of business is exposed to numerous legal 
risks, including, without limitation, dealer and supplier litigation, intellectual property right disputes, product warranty and defective product 
claims, product performance, asbestos, personal injury, emissions and/or fuel economy regulatory and contractual issues, competition law 
and other investigations and environmental claims. The most significant of these matters are described in Note 27 “Commitments and 
contingencies” to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2021.

The outcome of any current or future proceedings, claims, or investigations cannot be predicted with certainty. Adverse decisions in one or 
more of these proceedings, claims or investigations could require CNH Industrial to pay substantial damages or fines or undertake service 
actions, recall campaigns or other costly actions. It is therefore possible that legal judgments could give rise to expenses that are not covered, 
or not fully covered, by insurers’ compensation payments and could affect CNH Industrial’s financial position and results. When it is probable 
that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle obligations and this amount can be reliably estimated, 
CNH Industrial recognizes specific provisions for this purpose.

Although the ultimate outcome of legal matters pending against CNH Industrial and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted, management 
believes the reasonable possible range of losses for these unresolved legal matters in addition to the amounts accrued would not have a 
material effect on our Consolidated Financial Statements. 

55

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWFollow-up  on  Damages  Claims:  in  2011  Iveco  S.p.A.  (“Iveco”),  which,  following  the  Demerger,  is  now  part  of  Iveco  Group  N.V.,  and  its 
competitors in the European Union were subject to an investigation by the European Commission (the “Commission”) into certain business 
practices  in  the  European  Union  (in  the  period  1997-2011)  in  relation  to  Medium  &  Heavy  trucks.  On  July  19,  2016,  the  Commission 
announced a settlement with Iveco (“the Decision”). Following the Decision, the Company, Iveco and Iveco Magirus AG (“IMAG”) have 
been named as defendants in proceedings across Europe. The consummation of the Demerger will not allow CNH Industrial to be excluded 
from current and future follow on proceedings originating from the Decision because under EU competition law a company cannot use 
corporate reorganizations to avoid liability for private damage claims. In the event one or more of these judicial proceedings would result 
in a decision against CNH Industrial ordering it to compensate such claimants as a result of the conduct that was the subject matter of the 
Decision, and Iveco and IMAG do not comply with such decisions, as a result of various intercompany arrangements, then CNH Industrial 
will ultimately have recourse against Iveco and IMAG for the reimbursement of the damages effectively paid to such claimants. The extent 
and outcome of these claims cannot be predicted at this time.

FPT Emissions Investigation: on July 22, 2020, a number of CNH Industrial’s offices in Europe were visited by investigators in the context of a 
request for assistance by the public prosecutors of Frankfurt am Main, Germany and Turin, Italy in relation to alleged noncompliance of two 
engine models produced by FPT Industrial S.p.A. (“FPT”), which is now part of the Iveco Group N.V., installed in certain Ducato (a vehicle 
distributed by Stellantis) and Iveco Daily vehicles. FPT is providing its full cooperation to properly address the requests received. FPT, other 
companies of Iveco Group, and in certain instances CNH Industrial and other third parties have received various requests for compensation 
by German and Austrian customers on various contractual and tort grounds, including requests for damages resulting out of the termination 
of the purchase contracts, or in the form of requests for an alleged lower residual value of their vehicles as a consequence of the alleged 
non-compliance with type approval regulations regarding emissions. In certain instances, other customers have brought judicial claims on the 
same legal and factual bases. Although, at the date hereof, the Company has been informed by the Iveco Group that it has no evidence of 
any wrongdoing, it cannot predict at this time the extent and outcome of these requests and directly or indirectly related legal proceedings, 
including customer claims or potential class actions alleging emissions non-compliance.  

INSURANCE 

We maintain insurance with third party insurers to cover various risks arising from our business activities including, but not limited to, risk 
of loss or damage to our assets or facilities, business interruption losses, general liability, automobile liability, product liability and directors’ 
and officers’ liability insurance. We believe that we maintain insurance coverage that is customary in our industry. We use a broker that is 
a subsidiary of Stellantis N.V. (“Stellantis”, formerly Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. which, effective January 16, 2021, merged with Peugeot 
S.A. by means of a cross-border legal merger) to place a portion of our insurance coverage. 

PLANTS AND MANUFACTURING PROCESSES 

As of December 31, 2021, we owned 70 manufacturing facilities. We also own other significant properties including spare parts depots, 
research laboratories, test tracks, warehouses, and office buildings.

We make capital expenditures in the regions in which we operate principally related to initiatives to introduce new products, enhance 
manufacturing efficiency and improve capacity, and for maintenance and engineering. In 2021, our total capital expenditures in long-lived 
assets, excluding assets sold with buy-back commitments and equipment on operating leases, were $1,189 million of which 74% was spent 
in Europe, 15% in North America, 6% in South America and 5% in Rest of World, respectively. These capital expenditures were funded 
through a combination of cash generated from operating activities and borrowings under short-term facilities. In 2020, our total capital 
expenditures were $848 million. 2021, capital expenditures were higher than in 2020 as expenditures returned to more normal levels from 
the pandemic-affected low levels experienced last year.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWWorld Class Manufacturing
In striving to consolidate and maintain high standards of excellence in its manufacturing systems, CNH Industrial applies principles of World 
Class Manufacturing (“WCM”), the innovative program for continuous improvement that encompasses the most effective manufacturing 
methodologies. These include: Total Quality Control (“TQC”), Total Productive Maintenance (“TPM”), Total Industrial Engineering (“TIE”), 
and Just In Time (“JIT”). Applying rigorous methods and procedures, WCM aims to eliminate all types of waste and loss, including zero 
injuries, zero defects, zero breakdowns, zero waste, reduced inventories, and punctual delivery of parts by suppliers to plants, and thereafter 
to dealers and end users. The WCM system is applied to all departments, embracing numerous topics including safety in the workplace, 
the environment, quality, logistics, in-house and specialist maintenance, human resources, and process and product engineering (involving 
the reorganization of work stations, the installation of new machinery, and new product launches). Actions for continuous improvement are 
driven by the Cost Deployment pillar of WCM, which precisely identifies all plant wastes and losses, guides the activities of the corporate 
functions in charge of containing and eliminating the sources of waste, evaluates project feasibility, and assesses and certifies the results 
achieved by carefully monitoring specific performance indicators. 

One of the main features of WCM is the way it incentivizes employees to engage and take responsibility, contributing directly to process 
optimization through a consistent system for collecting suggestions. This allows individuals to acquire and develop skills and good practices 
that are then shared across plants, forming a network of expertise and knowledge for the benefit of the Group. In 2021, approximately 
464,000  suggestions  were  collected  across  the  plants  where  WCM  principles  are  applied,  with  an  average  of  12.2  per  employee.  The 
projects implemented in 2021 within WCM generated savings of approximately $36.8 million.

Each WCM pillar involves a seven-step approach and auditing process, culminating in several awards (bronze, silver, gold, and world class). 
As of December 31, 2021, 51 plants were participating in the program, representing 99% of revenues from sales of products manufactured 
in Group’s plants. By the end of 2021, 3 plants have gold awards, 16 plants have silver awards and 25 plants have bronze awards.

Environmental impacts of manufacturing processes 
The  Group’s  manufacturing  facilities  are  subject  to  a  variety  of  laws  designed  to  protect  the  environment,  particularly  with  respect  to 
solid and liquid wastes, air emissions, energy usage and water consumption. CNH Industrial is committed to continuously improving the 
environmental performance of its manufacturing processes, beyond the requirements of legislation, adopting the best technologies available 
and acting responsibly to preserve natural resources and to fight climate change. These are important priorities due to the nature and 
extent of their environmental and economic impact, and highlighted by their political, technological, and economic implications, in terms of 
both sustainable procurement and impact mitigation. Environmental protection at CNH Industrial is focused on prevention, conservation, 
information, and people engagement, thus facilitating long-term management. CNH Industrial has adopted an Environmental Policy that 
describes the short, medium, and long-term commitments toward responsible management of environmental aspects, such as: energy, 
natural resources, raw materials, hazardous substances, polluting emissions, waste, natural habitats, and biodiversity. 

These aspects are included in CNH Industrial’s environmental management system and energy management system and in the environmental 
pillar  of  WCM;  the  systems  require  compliance  with  guidelines,  procedures,  and  operating  instructions,  and  regular  internal  audits  and 
reviews by management. This dual approach facilitates the effective management of all environmental aspects deriving from manufacturing 
processes, the adequate evaluation of outcomes and the achievement of challenging targets set within the Sustainability Plan.

The materiality analysis identified air emissions (covered by the material topic CO2 and other air emissions), the use of renewable energy, 
the consumption of water, and the management of waste as the most significant environmental aspects for both the Company and its 
stakeholders. 

The highest responsibility for initiatives focusing on energy efficiency, management of CO2 emissions and environmental protection lies with 
the SLT.

Receipt  of  a  certification  for  environmental  or  energy  management  confirms  that  an  organization  has  a  system  capable  of  keeping  the 
impacts of its operations under control, and that it systematically seeks to improve this system in a way that is coherent, effective and, above 
all, sustainable. The participation in the ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certification process is on a voluntary basis. As of December 31, 2021, 58 
plants were ISO 14001 certified, while ISO 50001 energy management systems were implemented in 54 plants, representing about 99.9% 
of energy consumption.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWConsolidated monitoring and reporting systems are used to keep track of environmental performance, measure the effectiveness of actions 
taken to achieve targets, and plan new initiatives for continuous improvement, through the management of appropriate Key Performance 
Indicators (KPIs). These indicators can be analyzed at different aggregate levels (plant, segment, geographic region, or Group), which allows 
for the simultaneous and parallel engagement of different corporate functions at various levels to meet targets. 

In 2021, the main environmental KPIs maintained the positive trend recorded in recent years, in line with the targets set in the Sustainability 
Plan, reconfirming CNH Industrial’s significant commitment to environmental protection.

relates to 55 fully consolidated plants, representing 99.7% of revenues from sales of products manufactured in Group’s plants.

  CO2 emissions were calculated according to GHG Protocol standards, implemented through CNH Industrial guidelines. The indicator includes scope 1 and scope 2 emissions, as per 

the market-based methodology of the GHG Protocol.

  The hours of production refer to the number of manufacturing hours, defined as hours of presence of hourly employees within the manufacturing scope required to manufacture a 

product. 

  The performance of the indicators is in line with the targets set.

CNH Industrial’s expenditure on environmental protection measures totaled approximately $48 million in 2021 and included: approximately 
$35 million on waste disposal and emissions treatment and almost $13 million on prevention and environmental management. In 2021, about 
$7.1 million was invested in improving energy performance, leading to a reduction in energy consumption of approximately 173 TJ and a 
corresponding reduction in CO2 emissions of over 12,000 tons.
Numerous projects were implemented in 2021 to optimize environmental and energy management. For example, the plant in Sankt Valentin 
(Austria) modified the paint mist extraction method within its driveline painting process, switching its separation system from wet to dry. In 
addition to reducing hazardous waste by 33 tons and the paintshop’s water consumption by 56 cubic meters, the conversion generated a 
total of approximately $74,400 in savings on separation system maintenance and waste disposal costs.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWSUPPLIERS 

CNH Industrial adopts a responsible approach to the management of its supply chain, establishing relationships that go beyond commercial 
transactions,  fostering  long-lasting  and  mutually  satisfying  collaborations  with  qualified  partners  that  share  the  Group’s  principles. 
CNH Industrial has adopted the Supplier Code of Conduct that provides the framework for responsible supply chain management. In 
addition to compliance with local legislation, the Supplier Code of Conduct calls for observance of human rights and working conditions, 
respect for the environment, and business ethics. All suppliers carrying on business with CNH Industrial are deemed to agree and accept 
the contents of the Supplier Code of Conduct and such agreement and acceptance is evidenced by the supplier continuing to do business 
with CNH Industrial.

At December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial had approximately 4,142 global direct materials suppliers.

CNH Industrial’s standards of environmental and social responsibility have been fully integrated into its supply chain management. Supplier 
selection is an operational phase of the procurement process and is regulated by specific procedures. Supplier selection is based not only 
on cost, product innovation, production flexibility, and the quality and competitiveness of their products and services, but also on their 
compliance with CNH Industrial’s social, ethical and environmental principles. The assessment process is built on objective criteria and tools 
aimed at ensuring fairness and equal opportunities for all parties involved.

Furthermore, to assess whether suppliers meet the sustainability standards set by CNH Industrial and, where necessary, take steps towards 
improvement and realignment, a monitoring process has been designed and implemented. During the first step of the process, suppliers 
are requested to self-assess their policies and practices on sustainability through a questionnaire, mainly focused on the following issues: 
human rights, environment, compliance and ethics, diversity, and health and safety. The questionnaires are analyzed and used to perform a 
risk assessment, which allows the Company to identify critical suppliers whose compliance with sustainability criteria requires assessment, 
through follow-up, on-site audits. The audits are performed at suppliers’ plants by either CNH Industrial Supplier Quality Engineers (SQEs) 
or  independent  external  auditors.  In  2021,  1,389  suppliers  completed  the  questionnaire  and  95  audits  were  performed  remotely.  The 
analysis of the results highlighted the widespread implementation of sustainability initiatives, with a significant number of suppliers adopting 
their own social and environmental systems, setting specific targets and drafting periodic reports. In some cases, corrective action plans 
for areas in need of improvement were formulated in collaboration with suppliers; they are monitored through follow-up discussions and 
meetings between supplier and auditor. The monitoring process is considered also as a way to promote continuous improvement along the 
supply chain. 

Continuous improvement is also seen in WCM Purchasing, which has continued providing its advice to suppliers intending to implement the 
WCM system. As at December 31, 2021, the total number of supplier plants that had adopted the World Class Manufacturing (“WCM”) 
program was 220. This means they now apply what is considered to be one of the world’s leading set of manufacturing standards. 

In addition, another important supplier engagement activity carried out in 2021, the CDP Supply Chain initiative, concerns the mitigation of 
environmental impacts. In keeping with the previous year, 125 suppliers were selected to fill out the CDP questionnaire, to get a clear picture 
of their strategies to tackle climate change and of their current, or still to be implemented, initiatives to reduce CO2 emissions.
Moreover, CNH Industrial has implemented a compliance program and policy intended to promote responsible sourcing of tin, tantalum, 
tungsten, and gold (“3TG”) from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and surrounding region (conflict minerals), where revenues 
from the extraction of natural resources have historically funded armed conflict and human rights abuses. CNH Industrial’s Conflict Minerals 
Policy was adopted in 2013 and is available on the Company website. The Policy is intended to promote sourcing 3TG from responsible 
sources  in  the  Democratic  Republic  of  Congo  and  surrounding  region.  The  Company  annually  performs  its  supply  chain  due  diligence 
consistent with OECD guidelines. CNH Industrial is committed to making reasonable efforts to establish, and to require each supplier to 
disclose, whether 3TG are used or contained in products purchased by the Company and the source of that 3TG.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSBUSINESS OVERVIEWRESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

In a continuously and rapidly changing competitive environment, CNH Industrial’s research activities are a vital component of its long-term 
growth strategy. Each year the Company makes substantial investments in research and development. Such continuous investment and 
development activities are critically important to the continuing success of the Group.

Research and development times are reduced, where possible, to accelerate time-to-market, while taking advantage of specialization and 
experience in different markets. Technical and operational synergies and rapid technical communication form the basis of our research and 
development process. CNH Industrial’s innovation process consists of a series of clear-cut steps, from the evaluation of innovative concepts 
up to the final step before production. CNH Industrial believes innovation is essential to offering customers highly technological, eco-friendly, 
safe, and ergonomic products with a low Total Cost of Ownership (“TCO”). 

In this spirit, research activities focus primarily on the development of products that can: reduce polluting and CO2 emissions; use biofuels; 
adopt electric and hydrogen traction systems; incorporate advanced precision farming functionality and autonomous driving. For this reason, 
the Company’s research and development activities focus mainly on: efficient diesel engines, decarbonization, digitalization, and automation.

In 2021, our expenditure on research and development (including capitalized development costs and costs charged directly to operations 
during the year) totaled $1,249 million, or 3.7% of net revenues from Industrial Activities.

Research and development activities involved approximately 6,100 employees at 59 sites (30 sites related to Continuing Operations and 29 
sites related to Discontinued Operations) around the world of which approximately 900 employees were located at 13 sites in emerging 
countries(1). 

The following table shows our total research and development expenditures, including capitalized development costs and costs charged 
directly to operations during the year, by segment for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

As of December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial had 71,895 employees, an increase of 7,879 from the 64,016 employees at year-end 2020. The 
change was mainly attributable to the difference between new hires (approximately 13,000) and departures (approximately 7,300) during 
the year. A further increase of approximately 2,100 employees was due to changes in the scope of the operations, mainly related to the 
acquisitions of Raven Industries Inc. in the U.S., Sampierana S.p.A. in Italy and of four divisions of Capital Equipment Group in South Africa. 
Raven Industries, a leader in the precision agriculture technology, will significantly improve CNH Industrial’s competitive position and will 
add strong innovation capabilities to accelerate our precision and digital strategy. Sampierana is a company specializing in the development, 
manufacture and commercialization of earthmoving machines, undercarriages and spare parts. Sampierana’s portfolio solidifies our presence 
in critical market segments and provides our dealers and customer access to industry-leading products backed by our brand, distribution, 
and manufacturing experience. Capital Equipment Group transaction enables CNH Industrial to expand its direct distribution network of 
Case IH Agriculture, Case Construction Equipment and aftermarket services in Southern Africa, and drives continuous development of 
new and improved services for our customer in the region. Excluding the changes in the scope of operations, the increase compared to 
year-end 2020 is attributable mainly to the hiring of fixed-term and open-term workers in manufacturing due to the production volumes 
increase driven by strong demand in the market, primarily in the Agriculture segment in South America, North America and Europe, in the 
Construction segment in South America and North America and in the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles mainly in South America and, to 
a lesser extent, in Europe. Moderate increase in Research and Development personnel to strengthen the pool of skills and competencies in 
view of technology transitions, particularly electrification, autonomous driving, alternative propulsion solutions, digitalization and cloud web 
based software technologies.  

As stated in CNH Industrial’s Code of Conduct, occupational health and safety is an employee’s fundamental right and a key part of Group’s 
sustainability model and included in the Materiality Matrix as one of the most material topics for CNH Industrial and its stakeholders. Safety 
management engages all employees in creating a culture of accident prevention and risk awareness, sharing common occupational health and 
safety ethical principles to achieve improvement targets. One of the initiatives developed by CNH Industrial is an effective health and safety 

63

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSHUMAN RESOURCESmanagement system that conforms to ISO 45001 international standard. As demonstration of the Group’s commitment in this area, 58 
plants are ISO 45001 certified. In 2021, approximately $131.3 million was spent on improving health and safety protection. The investments 
in health and safety allowed, as an additional benefit, savings on the insurance premiums paid to the Italian National Institute for Insurance 
against Accidents at Work (INAIL) for a total of approximately $1.8 million in 2021. To achieve the challenging targets that the Group has set, 
all employees are involved in informational activities and in classrooms and hands-on training consistent with their roles and responsibilities. 
CNH  Industrial  provided  412,820  hours  of  training  on  occupational  health  and  safety  in  2021.  Approximately  43,400  employees  were 
engaged  in  training  on  the  job  activities  on  occupational  health  and  safety,  81.9%  of  whom  were  hourly.  Owing  to  the  Group’s  many 
initiatives, the overall employee injury frequency rate in 2021 was 1.725 injuries per 1,000,000 hours worked, a 11.3% decrease compared 
to the previous year. The target set for 2024 is to reduce by 50% the employee injury frequency rate compared to 2014 data.

The Group realizes that the nature of today’s socio-economic context calls for leaders with the ability to evolve and develop. A solid people 
management process is the key to success, as it includes employees in the formulation of the Group’s business goals, takes advantage of 
employee talent and fuels workforce motivation. CNH Industrial is committed to supporting its employees with development opportunities 
and  recognizing  and  rewarding  their  achievements  and  contribution  to  business  results.  In  2021,  CNH  Industrial  spent  approximately 
$1.9 million on employee training. In total, 1,041,982 training hours were provided to 43,036 individuals. The target set for 2022 is to engage 
100% of employees worldwide in training activities. 

As evidenced by the materiality analysis, both employee engagement in sustainability matters and digital workplaces are key contributors 
to being a more sustainable Company. These material topics affect, both directly and indirectly, how employees adapt their approach to 
the changing workplace environment. Employee engagement, leveraged to increase employee awareness of sustainability topics (especially 
in terms of environmental protection, health and proper nutrition, and food security and waste), plays an important role in reaching the 
Company’s goals, as reflected in the targets set in terms of training, employee volunteering, and wellbeing initiatives promoting healthy 
lifestyles.  As  regards  digital  workplaces,  the  Company  promotes  the  use  of  new  technologies  to  improve  work  quality  and  efficiency, 
employee work-life balance (remote work), and the exchange of information, in part to foster innovation. 

DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

The Company rejects all forms of discrimination that is based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, personal or social status, health, 
physical condition, disability, age, nationality, religious or personal beliefs, political opinion or against any other protected group.

The responsibility for diversity and inclusion (“D&I”) lies primarily with the Senior Leadership Team (“SLT”), committed to creating a truly 
diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone benefits from equal opportunities based on their abilities and skills. Offering career and 
advancement opportunities free from discrimination while encouraging and respecting diversity are among the commitments emphasized in 
CNH Industrial’s Human Capital Management Guidelines and Human Rights Policy, available on the Company’s website and Intranet portal.

The Human Resources (HR) head of each segment/function collaborates with Business Management to ensure that, in every aspect of the 
employment relationship - be it recruitment, training, compensation, promotion, or relocation - employees are treated on the basis of their 
ability to meet the requirements of the job.

The  Senior  Leadership  Team  proved  its  full  engagement  and  determination  to  champion  the  issue  by  signing  the  D&I  Commitment 
Statements, rejecting any form of discrimination, and pledging to create an environment where everyone benefits from equal opportunities 
based on their abilities and skills.

COLLECTIVE BARGAINING

In the United States, unions represent a small portion of our production and maintenance employees. The collective bargaining agreement 
with the United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America, which represents approximately 950 hourly 
production  and  maintenance  employees  in  Burlington,  Iowa  and  Racine,  Wisconsin,  continues  through  April  30,  2022.  The  collective 
bargaining agreement with the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, which represents approximately 600 of our 
employees in Fargo, North Dakota, continues through April 28, 2024. 

In Europe, most employees are covered by collective labor agreements (“CLAs”) stipulated either by a CNH Industrial subsidiary or by the 
employer association for the specific industry which the CNH Industrial subsidiary belongs to. 

In  Italy,  approximately  16,800  CNH  Industrial  employees  are  covered  by  the  CLA  that  continues  through  December  31,  2022  and 
approximately 440 CNH Industrial managers are covered by the 2016 CLA extended on October 21, 2020 until December 31, 2022. The 
approximately 210 employees and 8 managers of Sampierana S.p.A., whose 90% of capital stock was purchased on December 30, 2021 
by CNH Industrial, are covered, respectively, by the National CLA of Metal Industry and by the National CLA for managers of the Metal 
Industry.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSHUMAN RESOURCESOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEW AND PROSPECTS

INTRODUCTION

The results presented in this Annual Report are prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS and use the U.S. dollar as the presentation currency. 

On  November  30,  2021,  CNH  Industrial  completed  its  acquisition  of  Raven  Industries,  Inc.,  (“Raven”)  a  U.S.-based  leader  in  precision 
agriculture  technology.  Furthermore,  on  December  30,  2021,  CNH  Industrial  completed  the  purchase  of  90%  of  the  capital  stock  of 
Sampierana  S.p.A.,  a  construction  equipment  company  based  in  Italy.  Financial  information  included  in  this  Annual  Report  reflects  the 
consolidation, on a line-by-line basis, of the preliminary fair value of acquired assets and liabilities of both companies, with no material impacts 
on 2021 net income and free cash flow of Industrial Activities.

ALTERNATIVE PERFORMANCE MEASURES  
(OR “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 to make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions as they 
provide additional transparency with respect to our core operations. These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning 
under EU-IFRS or U.S. GAAP and are unlikely to be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not 
intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance and financial position as prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS or U.S. 
GAAP. 

As of December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial’s non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:

	 Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under EU-IFRS: is defined as profit/(loss) before taxes, Financial Services’ results, Industrial Activities’ 
financial expenses, restructuring costs, and certain non-recurring items. In particular, non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items 
that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities.

	 Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP: is derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is 
defined as net income (loss) before income taxes, Financial Services’ results, Industrial Activities’ interest expenses, net, foreign exchange 
gains/losses,  finance  and  non-service  component  of  pension  and  other  post-employment  benefit  costs,  restructuring  expenses,  and 
certain non-recurring items. 

	 Adjusted Diluted EPS under U.S. GAAP: is derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and is computed by 
dividing Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. by a weighted-average number of common shares outstanding 
during the period that takes into consideration potential common shares outstanding deriving from the CNH Industrial share-based 
payment awards, when inclusion is not anti-dilutive. When we provide guidance for adjusted diluted EPS, we do not provide guidance on 
an earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant items that have not yet occurred and are difficult 
to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end.

	 Net Cash (Debt) and Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities under EU-IFRS: Net Cash (Debt) is defined as total Debt plus Derivative liabilities, 
net of Cash and cash equivalents, Current securities, Derivative assets and other current financial assets (primarily current securities, 
short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties). We provide the reconciliation of Net Cash (Debt) to 
Total (Debt), which is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure included in our consolidated statement of financial position. 
Due to different sources of cash flows used for the repayment of the debt between Industrial Activities and Financial Services (by cash 
from operations for Industrial Activities and by collection of financing receivables for Financial Services), management separately evaluates 
the cash flow performance of Industrial Activities using Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities.

	 Net Cash (Debt) and Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP: are derived from financial information prepared in accordance 
with U.S. GAAP. Net Cash (Debt) under U.S. GAAP is defined as total debt less intersegment notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, 
restricted cash, other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating 
counterparties) and derivative hedging debt.

65

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTS	 Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (or Industrial Free Cash Flow) under EU-IFRS: refers to Industrial Activities, only, and is computed as 
consolidated cash flow from operating activities less: cash flow from operating activities of Financial Services; investments of Industrial 
Activities in property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.

	 Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (or Industrial Free Cash Flow) under U.S. GAAP: refers to Industrial Activities, only, and is computed as 
consolidated cash flow from operating activities less: cash flow from operating activities of Financial Services; investments of Industrial 
Activities in assets sold under buy-back commitments, assets under operating leases, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; 
change in derivatives hedging debt of Industrial Activities; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.

	 Available Liquidity under IFRS: is defined as cash and cash equivalents (including restricted cash), undrawn committed facilities and other 
current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties).

	 Change excl. FX or Constant Currency: we discuss the fluctuations in revenues on a constant currency basis by applying the prior year 
average exchange rates to current year’s revenues expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate 
fluctuations.

Iveco Group Business Spin-off
During 2021, CNH Industrial completed a strategic project to separate the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain 
business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business”) from the Agriculture business, the Construction 
business, and the related Financial Services business.

The Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. in accordance with Section 2:334a (3) of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk 
Wetboek) by way of a legal statutory demerger ( juridische afsplitsing) to Iveco Group N.V. (the “Demerger”), effective January 1, 2022. 
A description of the principal phases leading up to completion of the Demerger is provided in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial 
Statements.

As the transaction took effect on January 1, 2022, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 relate to 
CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger. Moreover, in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, as the 
Demerger became highly probable in December, the Iveco Group Business is classified and presented as Discontinued Operations in these 
consolidated financial statements. That presentation has resulted in the following:

	 for  both  years  2021  and  2020  (the  latter  presented  for  comparative  purposes),  the  operating  results  of  Iveco  Group  Business  are 
presented in a single line item “Profit/(Loss) from Discontinued Operations, net of tax” within the Consolidated Income Statement; 

	 all  assets  and  liabilities  (excluding  equity)  relating  to  Iveco  Group  Business  at  December  31,  2021  are  reclassified  as  Assets  held  for 
distribution and Liabilities held for distribution, respectively, within the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position;

	 for both years 2021 and 2020 (the latter presented for comparative purposes), the cash flows arising from the Iveco Group Business 
(as Discontinued Operations) are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as separate line items under cash flows from 
operating, investing and financing activities.

For  additional  detail  of  items  presented  under  Discontinued  Operations  in  the  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income,  Financial  Position 
and Cash Flows, refer to the section “Scope of Consolidation - Discontinued Operations - Iveco Group Business”, in the Notes to the 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Additionally, as the Demerger is a “business combination involving entities or businesses under common control”, it is outside the scope of 
application of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations and IFRIC 17- Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners. Accordingly, in the 2022 consolidated 
financial  statements  for  CNH  Industrial  and  Iveco  Group,  the  opening  position  for  items  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  will  be 
equivalent to the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger.

COVID-19 Effects and Actions
The COVID-19 pandemic and the related actions of governments and other authorities to contain COVID-19 spread continue to affect 
CNH Industrial’s business, results and cash flow. 

Governments  in  many  countries  where  the  Company  operates,  designated  part  of  our  businesses  as  essential  critical  infrastructure 
businesses. This designation allows CNH Industrial to operate in support of its dealers and customers to the extent possible. CNH Industrial 
also continues to prioritize the health, safety and well-being of its employees.

The Company remains cautious about future impacts on CNH Industrial’s end-markets and business operations of restrictions on social 
interactions  and  business  operations  to  limit  the  resurgence  of  the  pandemic.  CNH  Industrial  is  closely  monitoring  the  impact  of  the 
COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, its employees and the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

For additional discussion regarding the principal factors affecting CNH Industrial’s results, see section “Risk Factors - COVID-19 Risks”.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTSGlobal Supply Chain Disruptions
On October 13, 2021, CNH Industrial announced the temporary closure of several of its European agricultural, commercial vehicle and 
powertrain manufacturing facilities in response to ongoing disruptions to the procurement environment and shortages of core components, 
especially semiconductors. The global supply chain still shows increasing input costs and logistics pressures, with ongoing disruptions to the 
procurement environment forcing repeated reviews of production schedules. Global supply chain represented the main challenge for the 
operations in the year, with multiple bottlenecks resulting in increased raw material prices, intermittent subcomponent availability, notably 
for semiconductors, and increased transportation costs.

OPERATING RESULTS

The operations and key financial measures and financial analysis, differ significantly for manufacturing and distribution businesses and financial 
services businesses; therefore, for a better understanding of our operations and financial results, we present the following commentary 
split by Industrial Activities and Financial Services. Industrial Activities represent the activities carried out by the four industrial segments 
Agriculture, Construction, Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, and Powertrain, as well as Corporate functions. The parent company, CNH 
Industrial N.V., is included under Industrial Activities as well as subsidiaries that provide centralized treasury services (i.e., raising funding in 
the market and financing Group subsidiaries). The activities of the treasury subsidiaries do not include the offer of financing to third parties.

Until December  31, 2021, before the Demerger, CNH Industrial N.V. owned and controlled the Iveco Group Business (“Discontinued 
Operations”), as well as the Agriculture business, the Construction business and the related Financial Services business (together “Continuing 
Operations”). The following review provides an analysis related to CNH Industrial prior to the Demerger (“CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger”), 
with a breakdown provided for Continuing Operations and Discontinued Operations.

Consolidated Results of Operations

The following comments provide an analysis of the income statement items related to CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger, with a breakdown by 
Continuing and Discontinued Operations. 

Net revenues
We recorded net revenues of $33,481 million in 2021, an increase of 28.9% (up 27.3% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2020. 
This increase is primarily due to an increase of 30.6% (up 28.9% on a constant currency basis) compared to the prior year in net sales of 
Industrial Activities, due to continued strong industry demand and price realization. In 2021, the net revenues of Continuing Operations 
were $19,474 million, up 32.5% compared to 2020 (up 31.6% on a constant currency basis). The net sales of Industrial Activities of Continuing 
Operations were $17,835 million, up 36.4% (35.4% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2020. The increase was due to higher industry 
demand, favorable price realization and lower destocking compared to the previous year. The net revenues of Discontinued Operations 
were $14,963 million, an increase of 25.8% (up 22.8% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2020. The net sales of the Industrial 
Activities of Discontinued Operations were $14,808 million, an increase of 25.7% compared to the prior year (up 22.7% on a constant 
currency basis), due to higher volumes and positive price realization.

Cost of sales
Cost of sales were $27,145 million in 2021 compared to $22,491 million in 2020. As a percentage of net revenues, cost of sales of Industrial 
Activities was 82.2% in 2021 (87.7% in 2020), as a result of favorable fixed cost absorption partially offset by higher input costs. In 2020, 
Cost of sales included impairment charges of $245 million against intangible and tangible assets, as well as asset optimization charges of 
$282 million. Cost of sales of Continuing Operations were $15,231 million in 2021 compared to $12,287 million in 2020. Cost of sales of 
Discontinued Operations were $12,870 million in 2021 compared to $10,808 million in 2020. 

Selling, general and administrative costs
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs amounted to $2,400 million in 2021 (7.2% of net revenues) compared to $2,002 million 
in 2020 (7.7% of net revenues), SG&A costs increased $398 million compared to 2020 as costs returned to more normal levels from the low 
levels experienced last year. For Continuing Operations, SG&A costs were $1,425 million in 2021, up $228 million compared to 2020. For 
Discontinued Operations, SG&A costs were $975 million in 2021, up $170 million compared to in 2020.

Research and development costs
In 2021, research and development (“R&D”) costs were $1,246 million (compared to $1,132 million in 2020) and included all R&D costs 
not recognized as assets in the year amounting to $774  million ($586  million in 2020), $19  million of impairment losses ($96  million in 
2020) and the amortization of capitalized development cost of $453 million ($450 million in 2020). During 2021, CNH Industrial capitalized 
new expenditures for development costs for $475 million ($364 million in 2020). The costs in both periods were primarily attributable to 
spending on engine development costs associated with emission requirements and continued investment in new products. In 2021, R&D 

68

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTScosts for Continuing Operations were $677 million (compared to $634 million in 2020) and included all R&D costs not recognized as assets 
in the year amounting to $492 million ($340 million in 2020), nil of impairment losses ($93 million in 2020) and the amortization of capitalized 
development cost of $185 million ($201 million in 2020). During 2021, Continuing Operations capitalized new expenditures for development 
costs for $154 million ($162 million in 2020). In 2021, R&D costs for Discontinued Operations were $569 million (compared to $498 million 
in 2020) and included all R&D costs not recognized as assets in the year amounting to $282 million ($246 million in 2020), $19 million of 
impairment losses ($3 million in 2020) and the amortization of capitalized development cost of $268 million ($249 million in 2020). During 
2021, Discontinued Operations capitalized new expenditures for development costs for $321 million ($202 million in 2020).

Result from investments
Result from investments was a net gain of $123 million in 2021 and $19 million in 2020. In 2021, this item includes the positive impact of 
$13 million from the sale of investments by a joint venture accounted for under the equity method. In 2020, this item also included the 
$20 million negative impact from the costs recognized by a Chinese joint venture, accounted for under the equity method, for valuation 
allowances against deferred tax assets and restructuring actions. In 2021, the Result from investment of Continuing Operations amounted to 
$92 million compared to $68 million in 2020. The Result from investment of Discontinued Operations were $31 million in 2021 compared 
to a loss of $49 million in 2020. 

Gains/(losses) on disposal of investments
Gains/(losses) on disposal of investments were a gain of $10 million in 2021 and nil in 2020. In 2021 this item primarily included the pre- and 
after-tax gain of $9 million from the sale of a 30.1% interest in Naveco, related to Discontinued Operations.

Restructuring costs
Restructuring costs were $78 million and $56 million in 2021 and in 2020, respectively. Restructuring costs amounted to $36 million for 
Continuing Operations in 2021 ($19 million in 2020) and $42 million for Discontinued Operations ($37 million in 2020). 

Goodwill impairment loss
No goodwill impairment loss was recorded in 2021. In 2020, a goodwill impairment loss of $576 million was recorded, representing the total 
impairment of the goodwill allocated to Construction (Continuing Operations).

Other income/(expenses)
Other expenses were $323 million in 2021 compared to $207 million in 2020. In both periods, this item primarily included legal costs, 
indirect taxes and the benefit cost for former employees. In 2021, this item also includes a gain of $95 million related to a healthcare plan 
amendment in the U.S. occurred in the fourth quarter of 2021, $187 million separation costs in connection with the demerger of the Iveco 
Group Business, $57 million for the transaction costs related to the acquisition of Raven Industries, Inc., a gain of $12 million ($9 million 
after-tax) for a fair value adjustment of Monarch Tractor investment, and a pre- and after-tax loss of $25 million due to valuation at their 
recoverable  amount  of  certain  assets  classified  as  held  for  sale.  Other  expenses  were  $124  million  in  2021  for  Continuing  Operations 
($82 million in 2020) and $199 million for Discontinued Operations ($125 million in 2020). 

Financial income/(expenses)
Net financial expenses were $287 million in 2021, in line with 2020. In 2021, net financial expenses include a charge of $8 million related to 
the repurchase of all CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. outstanding notes due May 23, 2022. Excluding this charge, net financial expenses 
decreased  primarily  due  to  lower  average  indebtedness  as  well  as  lower  negative  foreign  exchange,  partially  offset  by  higher  currency 
translation impact. Net financial expenses were $151 million in 2021 for Continuing Operations ($161 million in 2020) and $136 million for 
Discontinued Operations ($128 million in 2020).

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTSIn 2021, CNH Industrial income taxes (including Continuing and Discontinued Operations) were an expense of $358 million, based on 
CNH Industrial’s profit before taxes of $2,135 million, compared to an income tax benefit of $55 million in 2020. The effective tax rates for 
2021 and 2020 were 16.8% and 7.3%, respectively. The current period effective tax rate was positively impacted by $142 million related 
to recognizing deferred tax assets associated with the Company’s agricultural and construction equipment operations in Brazil, pre-tax 
earnings in other jurisdictions which allowed previously unrecognized deferred tax assets to be realized, and the impact of additional tax 
credit and incentive benefits. These positive impacts were partly offset by the negative impacts of the non-deductible expenses associated 
with the Demerger and the acquisition of Raven Industries, Inc. Excluding the pre-tax and corresponding tax impacts related to restructuring 
costs, charges associated with the Demerger, charges for the acquisition of Raven Industries, Inc., the gain from the 2021 modifications of 
a healthcare plan in the U.S., the gain associated with the fair market value adjustment to the Monarch Tractor investment, the loss due to 
valuation at their recoverable amount of certain assets classified as held for sale, the gain from the sale of a 30.1% interest in Naveco, the 
gain from selling investments by a joint venture, the charge from repurchase of notes, and the tax benefit associated with recognizing certain 
Brazilian deferred tax assets in addition to other tax rate change benefits, the effective tax rate was 22% in 2021. The 2020 effective tax 
rate reflected the inability to record tax benefits for pre-tax losses in certain jurisdictions and the goodwill impairment charge related to the 
Company’s Construction segment, the effects of which were partially offset by the impact of net discrete tax benefits, which were primarily 
non-cash and included $44 million related to the recognition of certain deferred tax assets, primarily based on the recent profit history 
and expected future profitability of consolidated tax reporting groups in certain jurisdictions. Excluding pre-tax and tax impacts of the 
impairment charge related to Construction segment goodwill, for which no income tax benefits were reported, other asset optimization and 
impairment charges, restructuring costs, the negative impact from the costs recognized by a Chinese joint venture for valuation allowances 
against deferred tax assets and restructuring actions, and net discrete tax benefits related to deferred tax asset recognition and tax rate 
changes, income taxes were an expense of $130 million, with an effective tax rate of 26% in 2020. 

Profit/(loss) 
Net profit was $1,777 million in 2021 (net loss of $695 million in 2020). In 2021, net income also includes $187 million charges ($170 million 
after-tax) associated with the Company’s spin-off of its Iveco Group Business, $57 million charges ($47 million after-tax) for the acquisition 
of Raven Industries, Inc., the $100 million gain ($76 million after-tax) from a healthcare plan amendment in the U.S, gain of $12 million 
($9 million after-tax) for a fair value adjustment of Monarch Tractor investment, the pre- and after-tax loss of $25 million due to valuation at 
their recoverable amount of certain assets classified as held for sale, the pre- and after-tax gain of $9 million from the sale of a 30.1% interest 
in Naveco, $13 million gain from the sale of investments by a joint venture, the pre- and after-tax charge of $8 million from repurchase of 
notes. Net profit also included restructuring costs of $78 million ($65 million after-tax), the $142 million tax benefit related to recognizing 
certain deferred tax assets, and other discrete tax benefits. Excluding the impact of all these items, the net result would have been a profit 
of $1,838 million. In 2020, net loss also included the pre- and after-tax goodwill impairment of $576 million related to Construction, other 
assets  impairment  charges  of  $317  million  ($261  million  after-tax),  assets  optimization  charges  of  $282  million  ($227  million  after-tax), 
$56 million of restructuring costs ($43 million after-tax), net discrete tax benefits of $61 million, the $20 million negative impact from the 
costs recognized by a Chinese joint venture for valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and restructuring actions, and other non-
recurring net charges of $7 million. Excluding the impact of all these items, the net result would have been a profit of $378 million.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTSPowertrain

Net revenues 
Powertrain net revenues were $4,435 million in 2021, an increase of 22.1% (up 19.4% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2020, mainly 
due to higher volumes. Sales to external customers accounted for 41% of total net revenues (52% in 2020). 

During 2021, Powertrain sold approximately 538,300 engines, an increase of 12% compared to 2020. In terms of customers, 32% of engines 
were supplied to Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, 17% to Agriculture, 6% to Construction and the remaining 45% to external customers 
(units sold to third parties were down 16% compared to 2020). Additionally, Powertrain delivered approximately 67,900 transmissions and 
192,500 axles, an increase of 36% and 38%, respectively, compared to 2020.

Adjusted EBIT
Adjusted EBIT was $246 million in 2021 (up $23 million compared to 2020). The increase was mainly due to favorable volume and mix in 
the first half of the year, almost offset by unfavorable raw material costs, higher freight costs due to logistics constraints, higher SG&A costs 
and lower absorption of fixed cost in the second half of the year due to certain third-party sales discontinuation. R&D spend returned to a 
pre-pandemic level. Adjusted EBIT margin was 5.5%, in 2021.

Net revenues
Financial Services reported net revenues of $1,862 million in 2021, up 3.0% compared to 2020 (up 2.5% on a constant currency basis), 
primarily due to higher used equipment sales and higher average portfolios in Europe, South America and Rest of Word, partially offset 
by lower average portfolio in North America due to a reduction in wholesale financing. Retail loan and lease originations were up 14.5% 
reflecting higher Industrial Activities sales.

Net income
For the year ended December 31, 2021, net income was $428 million, a $140 million increase compared to 2020, primarily due to lower risk 
costs due to improved market outlook, improved pricing in North America, higher recoveries on used equipment sales, and higher average 
portfolio.

In 2021, retail loan originations (including unconsolidated joint ventures) were $11.4 billion, up $1.4 billion compared to 2020. The managed 
portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $26.7 billion as of December 31, 2021 (of which retail was 67% and wholesale 33%), 
relatively flat compared to December 31, 2020. Excluding the impact of currency translation, the managed portfolio increased by $1.2 billion 
compared to 2020.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTSLIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

The following discussion of liquidity and capital resources principally focuses on our consolidated statement of cash flows and our consolidated 
statement of financial position. Our operations are capital intensive and subject to seasonal variations in financing requirements for dealer 
receivables and dealer and company inventories. Whenever necessary, funds from operating activities are supplemented from external 
sources.  CNH  Industrial,  focusing  on  cash  preservation  and  leveraging  its  good  access  to  funding,  continues  to  maintain  solid  financial 
strength and liquidity. See section “Risk Factors” for additional information concerning risks related to our business, strategy and operations.

and  Construction,  and  other  corporate  assets,  liabilities,  revenues  and  expenses  not  reflected  within  Financial  Services;  for  both  years,  the  cash  flows  arising  from  the  CNH 
Industrial’s Commercial and Specialty Vehicles and Powertrain segments were classified and presented as a separate line items of cash flows from Discontinued Operations. 

(2)  This item includes the elimination of dividends from Financial Services to Industrial Activities.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTSAt December 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $6,862 million, a decrease of $2,767 million, or -28.7%, from $9,629 million 
at December 31, 2020. Cash and cash equivalents at December 31, 2021 included $856 million ($844 million at December 31, 2020) of 
restricted cash that was reserved principally for the servicing of securitization-related debt. At December  31, 2021, undrawn medium-
term unsecured committed facilities were $5,224 million ($6,148 million at December 31, 2020) and other current financial assets were 
$63 million ($94 million at December 31, 2020). At December 31, 2021, the aggregate of Cash and cash equivalents, undrawn medium-term 
unsecured committed facilities and other current financial assets, which we consider to constitute our principal liquid assets (or “Available 
liquidity”(1)), totaled $12,149 million ($15,871 million at December 31, 2020). 

The change in cash and cash equivalents compared to December 31, 2020 is primarily due to cash outflow of $2.2 billion for the acquisition 
of 100% interest in Raven Industries, Inc., bond debt repayment of $1.7 billion (including $0.4 billion of notes repurchase), dividends paid 
of $0.2 billion, and $0.4 billion in translation exchange differences, partially offset by free cash flow from Industrial Activities of $1.8 billion. 

Net Cash from Operating Activities 
Cash provided by operating activities in 2021 totaled $3,313 million ($2,675 million provided for Continuing Operations and $638 million 
provided for Discontinued Operations) and comprised the following elements:

	 $1,777 million profit ($1,686 million profit for Continuing Operations and $91 million profit for Discontinued Operations);

	 plus  $1,209  million  ($539  million  for  Continuing  Operations  and  $670  million  for  Discontinued  Operations)  in  non-cash  charges  for 
depreciation and amortization (net of commercial vehicles sold under buy-back commitments and operating leases);

	 plus $20 million ($19 million for Continuing Operations and $1 million for Discontinued Operations) in losses on the disposal of assets and 
other non-cash items;

	 plus $8 million loss on repurchase of notes (all related to Continuing Operations);

	 plus $81 million ($61 million for Continuing Operations and $20 million for Discontinued Operations) in dividends received;

	 minus change in deferred income taxes of $230 million (minus $281 million for Continuing Operations and plus  $51 million for Discontinued 
Operations),  plus  change  in  provisions  of  $434  million  ($285  million  for  Continuing  Operations  and  $149  million  for  Discontinued 
Operations); 

	 plus $58 million (all related to Discontinued Operations) for changes in items due to buy-back commitments and $162 million ($159 million 
for Continuing Operations and $3 million for Discontinued Operations) for changes in operating lease items; and 

	 minus  $206  million  (plus  $199  million  for  Continuing  Operations  and  minus  $405  million  for  Discontinued  Operations)  in  change  in 
working capital. 

In 2020, cash provided by operating activities was $3,478 million ($2,841 million for Continuing Operations and $637 million for Discontinued 
Operations) as a result of cash generated from income-related inflows (calculated as profit plus amortization and depreciation, dividends, 
changes in provisions and deferred taxes, various items related to sales with buy-back commitments and operating leases, and goodwill 
impairment loss, net of gains/losses on disposals and other non-cash items) for a total amount of $1,158 million ($1,312 million for Continuing 
Operations and $422 million for Discontinued Operations), and of a $1,744 million ($1,529 million for Continuing Operations and $215 million 
for Discontinued Operations) increase in cash resulting from an increase in working capital.

Net Cash from Investing Activities
In 2021, cash used by investing activities was $4,122 million ($4,001 million for Continuing Operations and $121 million for Discontinued 
Operations), primarily due to  the cash out of $2,246 million for the acquisition of the 100% interest in Raven Industries, Inc., and $82 million 
to acquire 90% interest in Sampierana (both related to Continuing Operations),  investments in tangible and intangible assets of $1,189 million 
($521 million for Continuing Operations and $668 million for Discontinued Operations), including $475 million in capitalized development 
costs ($154 million for Continuing Operations and $321 million for Discontinued Operations), net increase in receivables from financing 
activities amounting to $982 million ($842 million for Continuing Operations and $140 million for Discontinued Operations) and other 
changes of $227 million (minus $459 million for Continuing Operations and plus $686 million for Discontinued Operations) due to change in 
intersegment receivables/payables. Investments in tangible and intangible assets are net of investments in commercial vehicles for our long-
term rental operations and of investments relating to vehicles sold under buy-back commitments, which are reflected in cash flows relating 
to operating activities.

(1)  a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in section “Alternative performance measures (or “Non-GAAP financial measures”)” above. 

78

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTSIn 2020, cash used in investing activities totaled $574 million ($541 million for Continuing Operations and $33 million for Discontinued 
Operations). Expenditures on tangible and intangible assets (including $364 million in capitalized development costs, related for $162 million 
to Continuing Operations and $202 million related to Discontinued Operations) totaled $848 million ($390 million for Continuing Operations 
and $458 million for Discontinued Operations). Net decrease in receivables from financing activities amounted to $647 million ($401 million 
for Continuing Operations and $246 million for Discontinued Operations), primarily due to a reduction in the wholesale portfolio. 

The following table summarizes our investments in tangible assets (excluding assets sold with buy-back commitments and assets leased on 
operating leases) by segment and investments in intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020:

We incurred these capital expenditures in the regions in which we operate principally related to initiatives to introduce new products, 
enhance manufacturing efficiency and increase capacity, and for maintenance and engineering. Capital expenditures were higher than 2020 
as expenditures returned to more normal levels from the pandemic-affected low levels experienced last year. 

Net Cash from Financing Activities 
In 2021, cash used by financing activities totaled $1,551 million ($1,447 million used in Continuing Operations and $104 million used in 
Discontinued Operations), primarily due to net payments on long-term debt and dividends paid,  compared to $537 million provided in 
2020 ($1,002 million provided for Continuing Operations and $465 million used for Discontinued Operations), mainly attributable to a net 
increase in third party debt.

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 Group 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, both in the U.S. and Europe. 

79

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTS 
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 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 has 
upgraded the Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings and senior unsecured debt ratings of CNH Industrial Capital LLC (CNHI Capital) and CNH 
Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. (CNH Canada) to ‘BBB+’ from ‘BBB-’. The Rating Outlook is Stable. Fitch has also upgraded CNHI Capital’s 
Short-Term IDR and commercial paper (CP) 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. Limited and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. to Baa2 from Baa3. At the same time, Moody’s withdrew 
CNHI Industrial Finance Europe S.A.’s short-term rating of (P)P-3. The Rating Outlook is stable. The Company’s long-term credit ratings

(1)  Includes treasury subsidiary, CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. 

The Group’s debt is fully investment grade, which the Group 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.

Total Debt of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, is as detailed in the following table:

We believe that Net Cash (Debt) (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the section “Alternative performance measures (or “Non-
GAAP financial measures”)” 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  businesses.  Industrial  Activities  reflects  the  consolidation  of  all  subsidiaries,  including  those  performing  centralized 
treasury activities, except for Financial Services. Financial Services reflects the consolidation of the Financial Services’ businesses.

(1)  As a result of the role played by the central treasury, debt for Industrial Activities also includes funding raised by the central treasury on behalf of Financial Services (included under 
Intersegment financial receivables). Intersegment notes receivable for Financial Services, on the other hand, represent loans or advances to Industrial Activities – for receivables sold 
to Financial Services that do not meet the derecognition requirements – as well as cash deposited temporarily with the central treasury. Total (Debt) of Industrial Activities includes 
Intersegment  notes  payable  to  Financial  Services  of  $798  million  and  $1,018  million  as  of  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  respectively.  Total  Debt  of  Financial  Services  includes 
Intersegment notes payable to Industrial Activities of $1,084 million and $884 million as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(2)  Net Derivative assets (liabilities) include the net positive and negative fair values of derivative financial instruments.
(3)  This item includes short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties.
(4)  The net intersegment receivable/(payable) balance recorded by Financial Services relating to Industrial Activities was $-286 million and $134 million as of December 31, 2021 and 

2020, respectively.

Excluding exchange rate differences of $964 million, Net Debt at December 31, 2021 increased by $1,410 million compared to December 31, 
2020, mainly due to cash out of $2,246 million for the acquisition of the 100% interest in Raven Industries, Inc., and $82 million to acquire 
90% interest in Sampierana, $188 million for dividends, higher Financial Services portfolio of $930 million, partially offset by strong Free Cash 
Flow of Industrial Activities and by positive cash flow from Operating Activities of Financial Services.

The following table provides the breakdown for Continuing Operations and Discontinued Operations of the calculation of Net Cash (Debt) 
as of December 31, 2021 and the reconciliation of Total (Debt) to Net Cash (Debt). Given the size of the amounts involved, it has been 
considered appropriate to add the item Financial receivables and Financial payable between Continuing and Discontinued Operations. As 
these items are intercompany, they have been eliminated from the net debt presentation for CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger.

$86 million for the acquisition of the 90% interest in Sampierana, as well as the charge of $8 million related to the repurchase of Notes.

We believe that Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in section “Alternative performance 
measures (or “Non-GAAP financial measures”)” above) is a useful analytical metric for measuring the cash generation ability of our Industrial 
Activities. In 2021, the Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities was a positive of $1,770 million (positive of $1,918 million for Continuing 
Operations and negative $148 million for Discontinued Operations) primarily due to the strong performance of the segments, partially offset 
by an increase in working capital exacerbated by supply chain disruptions in the latter part of the year.

The reconciliation of Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities to Net cash provided by (used in) Operating Activities, the EU-IFRS financial 
measure that we believe to be most directly comparable, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, is shown below:

The non-GAAP financial measures (Available liquidity, Net Cash (Debt) and Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities) used in this section 
should neither be considered as a substitute for, nor superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with EU-IFRS. 
In addition, these non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other 
companies.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTSIndustrial Activities 

Capital Markets
At December 31, 2021, we had an aggregate amount of $8.5 billion in bonds outstanding, of which $5.2 billion was issued by Industrial 
Activities. 

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 ($12 billion). At December 31, 2021, €3,644 million ($4,127 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%  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, 2021, 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 
companies may from time to time buy-back or enforce the available call options of their 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, 2021, Industrial Activities available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $4.5 billion 
($5.3 billion at December 31, 2020), all related to Continuing Operations.   

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; the remaining €49.5 million 
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). Such covenant is not applicable with 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, 
2021, CNH Industrial was in compliance with the covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility. 

83

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTSFinancial Services
Total Debt of Financial Services was $19.5 billion at December 31, 2021, compared to $19.7 billion at December 31, 2020. 

Bank Debt 
At December 31, 2021, Financial Services’ available committed, unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $0.7 billion 
($0.8 billion at December 31, 2020), of which 47 million related to Discontinued Operations.  

Asset-Backed Financing 
At December 31, 2021, Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $3.9 billion ($3.9 billion 
at December 31, 2020), of which $2.8 billion was utilized at December 31, 2021 ($3.7 billion at December 31, 2020). At December 31, 2021, 
Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities expiring after twelve months related to Continuing Operations amounted to $3.0 billion, 
of which $2.0 billion was utilized at December 31, 2021. 

We sell certain of our finance 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 mainly accounts receivable from final (retail) 
customers and from the network of dealers (wholesale) to our Financial Services subsidiaries.  

At December 31, 2021, our receivables from financing activities included receivables sold and financed through both ABS and factoring 
transactions  of  $12.5  billion  ($13.2  billion  at  December  31,  2020),  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 17 “Current receivables and Other current financial assets” to our Consolidated Financial Statements). 

Capital Markets 
On July 2, 2020, CNH Industrial Capital LLC issued $600 million of 1.950% notes due in 2023 at an issue price of 99.370% of their principal 
amount. 

In August 2020, CNH Industrial Capital Argentina completed its first public offering for $31 million of notes due in 2023 and for ARS701 million 
($8 million) due in 2021.

On October 6, 2020, CNH Industrial Capital LLC issued $500 million of 1.875% notes due in 2026 at an issue price of 99.761% of their 
principal amount.

In May 2021, CNH Industrial Capital LLC issued $600 million of 1.45% notes due in 2026 at an issue price of 99.208% of their principal 
amount.

In July 2021, CNH Industrial Capital Australia Pty. Limited issued AUD200 million of 1.75% notes due in 2024 at an issue price of 99.863% 
of their principal amount.

In September 2021, CNH Industrial Capital Australia Pty. Limited issued AUD50 million of 1.750% notes due in 2024 at an issue price of 
101.069% of their principal amount. This issue is a private placement.

In September 2021, CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd issued CAD$300 million of 1.500% notes due in 2024 at an issue price of 99.936% 
of their principal amount. 

Commercial Paper Programs 
With the purpose of further diversifying its funding structure, CNH Industrial has established various commercial paper programs. CNH 
Industrial Financial Services S.A. in Europe issued commercial paper under a program which had an amount of $83 million outstanding at 
December 31, 2021 ($112 million at December 31, 2020).

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, 

84

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTS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 24 “Debt” to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

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, 2021, the 
Group had available committed, unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months of $5.2 billion ($6.1 billion at December 31, 2020), of which 
$47 million related to Discontinued Operations. 

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, 2021, Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities 
expiring after twelve months amounted to $3.9 billion ($3.9 billion at December 31, 2020), of which $2.8 billion at December 31, 2021 
($3.7 billion at December 31, 2020) were utilized. At December 31, 2021, Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities expiring after 
twelve months related to Continuing Operations amounted to $3.0 billion, of which $2.0 billion was utilized at December 31, 2021. 

CNH Industrial continues to closely monitor its liquidity and capital resources for any potential impact that the COVID-19 pandemic may 
have on its operations. With the strong liquidity position at year-end and the demonstrated access to the financial markets, CNH Industrial 
believes that its cash and cash equivalents, access to credit facilities and cash flows from future operations will be adequate to fund its known 
cash needs during the COVID-19 pandemic.

If Financial Services were unable to obtain ABS funding at competitive rates, its ability to conduct its financial services activities would be 
limited. 

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 27 “Commitments and contingencies” 
to the CNH Industrial Consolidated Financial Statements. 

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 mainly in the interest of a 
joint venture totaling $527 million as of December 31, 2021.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSOPERATING AND FINANCIAL REVIEWAND PROSPECTSRISK MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL SYSTEM

CNH INDUSTRIAL RISK MANAGEMENT 

Risk  management  is  an  important  component  of  CNH  Industrial’s  overall  culture  and  is  integral  to  the  achievement  of  its  long-term 
business plan. Accordingly, our Enterprise Risk Management (“ERM”) process has been designed to assist in the identification, evaluation 
and prioritization of business risks (including environmental, social, and governance) followed by a coordinated and balanced application of 
resources to minimize, monitor, and control the probability or impact of adverse events or to maximize the realization of opportunities. 

CNH  Industrial’s  ERM  process  is  based  on  the  framework  published  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the  Treadway 
Commission (“COSO”), as well as the principles of the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, and adapted for specific business requirements 
by incorporating Company management knowledge and best practices identified by third-party risk consulting firms.

Through this process, CNH Industrial has identified 43 primary enterprise risks, further broken down into 121 specific risk drivers. Primary 
risk drivers include a number of significant topics, such as business strategies and operations, competitive factors, social responsibility and 
environmental issues, and regulatory compliance. The process follows a bottom-up analysis starting  at the business unit  level,  with  risk 
survey completion by business and function leaders worldwide, followed by cross-functional reviews, one-on-one interviews with Senior 
Leadership Team (“SLT”) members, presentations and risk assessment discussions with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, 
and review and discussion with the Board of Directors. Direct feedback received from each of these layers up to and including the Board 
of Directors is then used to identify and develop risk mitigation activities as necessary within the business or functional area, which are 
deployed by management. 

Inherently, our risk management process is not meant to provide a guarantee of the accuracy or completeness of the risk assessments 
performed or on the full achievement of CNH Industrial’s objectives. CNH Industrial’s potential overall risk exposure is described in the 
Risk Factors section. 

RISK MITIGATION ACTIVITIES

The risk mitigation activities initiated by management are designed to mitigate adverse impacts to CNH Industrial’s business plan, including 
financial and operational performance, during 2021 and beyond. The ERM process is linked with our Sustainability Program and its strategic 
sustainability targets, our aspirational goals articulated in the strategic business plan and our employee and customer safety goals. These 
targets  and  goals,  which  are  incorporated  into  the  individual  segment  business  plans,  provide  a  framework  to  address  the  long-term 
challenges to increasing stakeholder value and proactively mitigate associated risks. 

For example, a worldwide supply chain disruption is among the key risk areas identified this year through the ERM process, as further 
discussed within the Risk Factors section of this Report. Such risks have been integrated into our ERM process to help the business stay 
ahead of preventable disruptions and seize opportunities when identified. Mitigating actions that the Company has taken for this supply chain 
risk include, for example, continuous monitoring and communication with key suppliers to anticipate production requirements, potential 
supply gaps and other concerns to limit the impact of supply shortages. 

Our ERM process also monitors emerging risks, which we define as new risks or risks for which the impacts are unknown or evolving and 
thus may be incorporated into risk assessment and mitigation activities when deemed necessary. For example, the effects of climate change, 
the COVID-19 pandemic and increased cybersecurity threats, as described in the Risk Factors section, represent key emerging risks to CNH 
Industrial. Mitigation actions around climate change include investments in technology as part of our decarbonization strategy, an initiative to 
reduce energy consumption in our manufacturing processes, as discussed in detail in the “Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures” 
section of this Report and in our Sustainability Report. In response to the new working environment created by the COVID-19 pandemic, a 
dedicated global team has implemented smart working concepts across all operations, including a number of initiatives to ensure employee 
safety  while  maintaining  business  continuity.  In  addition,  the  Company  has  increased  its  efforts  to  minimize  the  likelihood  or  impact  of 
cybersecurity threats. These efforts include increased third-party penetration testing for both the Company’s internal systems and networks 
and for the Company’s telematics-enabled products.

of unforeseen operational risks 
with a medium-low appetite.

CNH Industrial has a low risk 
appetite with respect to financial 
risks (such as liquidity, market, 
foreign exchange and interest rate 
risks as explained in more detail 
in Note 30 of the Consolidated 
Financial Statements). 

CNH Industrial has an averse

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK MANAGEMENTAND CONTROL SYSTEMENHANCEMENTS TO THE RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS 

The development and implementation of an effective and robust ERM process requires continuous evaluation and improvement. As part of 
these efforts, CNH Industrial continues to enhance its risk management process, including the ongoing rollout of targeted risk assessments 
conducted by subject matter experts within the business. These assessments, which have more than doubled in quantity over the past 
twelve months, help identify important risk exposures outside of predetermined risk tolerance levels and trigger the execution of new or 
previously identified risk mitigation activities that are intended to reduce or, in certain cases, eliminate the risk exposures altogether. We 
have also better aligned our oversight functions to improve the internal transparency of our risk profile and increase efficiencies across 
Compliance, ERM, Internal Audit and Sarbanes-Oxley functions. Finally, we are in the process of expanding our GRC software platform to 
provide more intuitive coverage of common high-risk areas such as information technology and cybersecurity.

INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM

The Company has in place an internal control system, based on the model provided by COSO and the principles of the Dutch Corporate 
Governance Code, which consists of a set of policies, procedures and organizational structures aimed at identifying, measuring, managing, 
and monitoring the principal risks to which CNH Industrial is exposed. The system is integrated within the organizational and corporate 
governance  framework  adopted  by  CNH  Industrial  and  contributes  to  the  protection  of  corporate  assets,  as  well  as  to  ensuring  the 
efficiency and effectiveness of business processes, reliability of financial information, and compliance with laws, regulations, the Company’s 
Code of Conduct, policies, and internal procedures.

The system, which has been developed on the basis of international best practices, consists of the following three lines:

	 Management:

1. operating areas, which identify and assess risk and establish specific actions for management of such risk;

2. central functions responsible for risk control, which define methodologies and instruments for managing and monitoring such risk.

	 Internal Audit:

3. conducts independent evaluations of the system in its entirety.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK MANAGEMENTAND CONTROL SYSTEMPrincipal Characteristics of the Internal Control System and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
CNH Industrial has in place a system of risk management and internal control over financial reporting based on the model provided by 
COSO, according to which the internal control system is defined as a set of rules, procedures and tools designed to provide reasonable 
assurance of the achievement of corporate objectives. In relation to the financial reporting process, reliability, accuracy, completeness and 
timeliness of the information contribute to the achievement of such corporate objectives. Risk management is an integral part of the internal 
control system. A periodic evaluation of the system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to ensure the overall effectiveness 
of the components of the COSO Framework (Governance & Culture; Strategy & Objective-Setting; Performance; Review & Revision; and 
Information, Communication, & Reporting) in achieving those objectives.

CNH Industrial – which is listed on the NYSE and, consequently, is subject to Section 404 of the U.S. Sarbanes-Oxley Act since 2014 – has 
a system of administrative and accounting procedures in place that seeks to ensure a highly reliable system of internal control over financial 
reporting.

The approach adopted by CNH Industrial for the evaluation, monitoring and continuous updating of the system of internal control over 
financial reporting, is based on a ‘top-down, risk-based’ process consistent with the COSO Framework. This enables focus on areas of 
higher risk and/or materiality, where there is risk of significant errors, including those attributable to fraud, in the elements of the financial 
statements and related documents. The key components of the process are:

	 identification and evaluation of the source and probability of significant errors in elements of financial reporting;

	 assessment of the adequacy of key controls in enabling ex-ante or ex-post identification of potential misstatements in elements of financial 
reporting; and

	 verification of the operating effectiveness of controls based on the assessment of the risk of misstatement in financial reporting, with 
testing focused on areas of higher risk.

Identification and evaluation of the risk of misstatements which could have material effects on financial reporting is carried out through a risk 
assessment process that uses a top-down approach to identify the organizational entities, processes and the related accounts, in addition to 
specific activities, which could potentially generate significant errors. Under the methodology adopted by CNH Industrial, risks and related 
controls are associated with the accounting and business processes upon which accounting information is based. 

Management  assessed  the  effectiveness  of  the  Company’s  internal  control  over  financial  reporting  as  of  December  31,  2021,  using  the 
criteria set forth in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway 
Commission. Based on that assessment, management believes that, as of December 31, 2021, the Company’s internal control over financial 
reporting was effective.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSRISK MANAGEMENTAND CONTROL SYSTEMCORPORATE GOVERNANCE 

INTRODUCTION

CNH Industrial is a company, organized under the laws of the Netherlands, and results from a business combination with Fiat Industrial S.p.A. 
and CNH Global N.V. consummated on September 29, 2013 (the “Merger”). CNH Industrial qualifies as a foreign private issuer under the 
rules and regulations of the SEC and the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) Listing Standards. Its common shares are listed on the NYSE 
and on the Mercato Telematico Azionario (“Euronext Milan”), managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

CNH  Industrial  has  adopted,  except  as  discussed  below,  the  best  practice  provisions  of  the  Dutch  Corporate  Governance  Code  (the 
“DCGC”), which contains principles and best practice provisions that regulate relations between the board of directors of a listed Dutch 
company and its shareholders. In accordance with the NYSE Listed Company Manual, CNH Industrial as a listed company and foreign private 
issuer is permitted to follow home country practice with regard to certain corporate governance standards, whereas with respect to other 
corporate governance standards it is bound to comply with certain other provisions of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

The DCGC is focused on companies with a two-tier governance structure. Since the Merger, however, the Company has adopted (as 
permitted by the DCGC) a one-tier governance structure. This choice of a one-tier governance structure necessitated the implementation 
of certain governance solutions that are not typical of two-tier board frameworks (see Chapter 5 of the DCGC).

In this Annual Report, CNH Industrial discusses its overall corporate governance structure. The Company discloses in this Annual Report, 
and intends to disclose in its future annual reports, any material departure from the best practice provisions of the DCGC.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to CNH Industrial’s Articles of Association (“Articles of Association”), the Board of Directors may have three or more members. 
The current slate of Directors was appointed by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“AGM”) on 
April 15, 2021. Pursuant to Article 13(3) of the Articles of Association, the term of office of all Directors shall be for a period of approximately 
one year after appointment, such period expiring on the day the first AGM is held in the following year. Accordingly, the term of office of the 
current Board of Directors expires on April 13, 2022, the anticipated date of the Company’s next AGM at which shareholders will appoint 
the Company’s Directors. Each Director may be re-appointed at any subsequent AGM.

The Board as a whole has collective responsibility for the strategy of the Company. During 2021, the Board reviewed and discussed with 
management, among other things, the Company’s updated Strategic Business Plan, the continued impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on 
Company operations, the Company’s Strategic Business Plan, and the long-term value creation strategies of all of the Company’s individual 
business segments and regions.

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, the Board of Directors should be composed of individuals with 
skills, experience and cultures, both general and specific, acquired in an international environment, not only in relation to the capital goods 
industry but also with respect to general macroeconomics and market globalization issues, as well as the industrial and financial sectors. 
An adequate and diversified mix of skills, expertise 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. There should also 
be an appropriate balance between the number of Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors. Moreover, independent Directors 
have an essential role in protecting the interests of all stakeholders. Their contribution is also necessary for the proper composition and 
functioning of the Board Committees, whose advisory functions include preliminary examination and formulation of proposals relating to 
areas of potential risk, such as prevention of potential conflicts of interest. In addition, with regard to diversity, 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. While the Board believes its members 
are reasonably diverse, it recognizes that more can be done. Accordingly, the Board will continue to actively seek diverse candidates for 
possible appointment to the Board. The Board has, however, elected not to adopt a formal diversity policy. 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.

Considering the foregoing factors and the attributes of the individual Directors, the Board of Directors considers itself a reasonably diverse 
body, well-suited to fulfilling its duties. None of the members of the Board of Directors has a familial relationship with any other Director. 
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 expertise to fulfill 
their respective duties. In 2021, 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. 

The Composition of the Board of Directors: Guidelines are available on the Company’s website, www.cnhindustrial.com.

The  Board  of  Directors  is  currently  composed  of  two  Executive  Directors  (i.e.,  who  have  been  granted  the  title  “Chair”  and  “Chief 
Executive Officer”), having responsibility for the day-to-day management of the Company, and seven Non-Executive Directors, who have 
responsibility  with  respect  to  the  Board’s  oversight  function.  Under  Article  16  of  the  Articles  of  Association,  the  general  authority  to 
represent CNH Industrial shall be vested in the Board of Directors, as well as in each of the Executive Directors to whom the title Chair 
or Chief Executive Officer has been granted. Six Directors (70%) qualified as independent under the NYSE Listing Standards and best 
practice provision 2.1.8 of the DCGC. The composition of the Non-Executive Directors is such that they are able to operate independently 
and critically with respect to one another, the Executive Directors, and any other particular interest involved; and in accordance with best 
practice provision 2.1.7 of the DCGC. 

Pursuant to Article 14(2) of the Articles of Association, the Chairperson of the Board of Directors as referred to by law shall be a Non-
Executive Director with the title “Senior Non-Executive Director”. On April 15, 2021 the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Léo W. Houle 
as 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 
DCGC. The Senior Non-Executive Director is responsible for the proper functioning of the Board of Directors and its Committees. 

On September 9, 2013, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed the following internal committees: (i) an Audit Committee, (ii) a 
Human Capital and Compensation Committee, and (iii) an Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee.

On certain key industrial matters, the Board of Directors is advised by the Company’s Senior Leadership Team (“SLT”). The SLT is an 
operational decision-making body of CNH Industrial, which is responsible for reviewing the operating performance of the segments and 
making decisions on certain operational matters.

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 nine times during 2021. The following chart shows the 2021 Board members and their attendance at Board meetings.

(1) At the Company’s Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders held on December 23, 2021, the shareholders approved the appointment of two new non-executive directors, 

Ms. Catia Bastioli and Ms. Asa Tamsons, who replaced Mr. Tufan Erginbilgic and Mr. Lorenzo Simonelli (who, in turn, joined Iveco Group N.V. board of directors). 

The Directors consider the evaluation of the Board, its Committees and members to be an important aspect of corporate governance. Each 
year, under the oversight of the Governance and Sustainability Committee and with the assistance of the Corporate Secretary, the Board 
undertakes an annual evaluation of its own effectiveness and performance, and that of the Committees and individual Directors. In 2021 the 
evaluation of the Board and its Committees consisted of a self-assessment by each of the directors facilitated by a written questionnaire. The 
questionnaire covers key functions such as composition of the Board, collegiality, information, oversight and involvement, and effectiveness 
of the Committees, and are designed to promote a robust and comprehensive performance assessment discussion. The Chair met with 
each of the Directors to discuss the performance of the Board, the Committees, and individual directors. The Board of Directors discusses 
the results of such performance assessment, in executive session, and agrees upon actions to take advantage of identified opportunities for 
improvement. On the recommendation of the Environmental, Social, and Governance Committee, the Board intends to periodically engage 
a third party to facilitate the annual performance assessment.

The current composition of the Board of Directors is the following: 

	 Suzanne Heywood, Chair (Executive-Director) 

  Suzanne Heywood became a Managing Director of Exor in 2016. Prior to that she worked at McKinsey & Company which she joined as an 
associate in 1997 and left as a Senior Partner (Director) in 2016. Suzanne co-led McKinsey’s global service line on organization design for

THE SENIOR LEADERSHIP TEAM

CNH  Industrial  established  the  Senior  Leadership  Team  (“SLT”)  to  strengthen  the  quality  of  the  Company’s  decision-making  and  the

has ultimate responsibility for the Company’s management and external reporting. The SLT is comprised of CNH Industrial’s Chief Executive 
Officer, and key senior managers. 

The SLT is effectively supervised by the Non-Executive Directors of the Board of Directors. For this purpose, the SLT, either directly or 
through the Executive Directors, provides the Non-Executive Directors with all information the Non-Executive Directors require to fulfill 
their  responsibilities.  During  2021,  the  leaders  of  various  Segments  and  business  units  (all  SLT  members)  presented  to  the  Board  their 
operating results, updated strategic business plans, and long-term value creation strategies as well as their top short-term and medium-

99

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEIn addition, the Board of Directors as a whole may, on an ad hoc basis, resolve that there is such a strong appearance of a Conflict of Interest 
of an individual member of the Board of Directors in relation to a specific matter, that it is deemed in the best interest of a proper decision

respect to such matter even though such member of the Board of Directors may not have an actual Conflict of Interest. 

At least annually, each Director shall assess in good faith whether (i) he or she is independent under (A) best practice provision 2.1.8. of 
the DCGC, (B) the requirements of Rule 10A-3 under the Exchange Act, and (C) Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual; and

related party of the Company, including affiliates of a significant shareholder (such conflict, a “Related-Party Conflict”), it being understood

The Directors shall inform the Board through the Chair or the Corporate Secretary as to all material information regarding any circumstances 
or relationships that may impact their characterization as “independent”, or impact the assessment of their interests, including by responding 
promptly  to  the  annual  director  and  officer  questionnaires  circulated  by  or  on  behalf  of  the  Chair  that  are  designed  to  elicit  relevant 
information regarding business and other relationships (the “Formal Annual Assessment”).

In addition, the Company has adopted a Conflict of Interest Policy that covers the Company’s directors, officers and employees. Under the 
Policy directors are required to promptly disclose to the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer any conflict of interest (defined as when 
an individual’s personal interest or activities interferes with, or even appears to interfere with, the interests of the Company). The Chief 
Compliance Officer is to refer to the Company’s other directors any transaction or potential conflict of interest involving a director. Such 
other directors are to review the applicable facts and determine whether a conflict of interest exists with respect to such director. 

Based on each Director’s Formal Annual Assessment described above, the Board shall make a determination at least annually regarding 
such  Director’s  independence  and  such  Director’s  Related-Party  Conflict.  These  annual  determinations  shall  be  conclusive  absent  a 
change in circumstances from those disclosed to the Board that necessitates a change in such determination. Each year, the Environmental, 
Social, and Governance Committee considers, among other things, the Directors’ Formal Annual Assessment and any other disclosures 
when considering candidates to be recommended to the Board for (re)appointment as Directors. In 2021, the Environmental, Social, and 
Governance Committee and the Board considered such disclosures in February and determined that no Conflict of Interest existed.

LOYALTY VOTING PROGRAM

Our authorized share capital is €40,000,000 consisting of two billion (2,000,000,000) common shares and two billion (2,000,000,000) special 
voting  shares  to  be  held  with  associated  common  shares,  each  having  a  par  value  of  one  euro  cent  (€0.01).  Our  common  shares  are 
registered shares represented by an entry in the share register of CNH Industrial. Beneficial interests in our common shares traded on the 
NYSE are held through the book-entry system provided by DTC and are registered in the register of shareholders in the name of Cede & 
Co., as DTC’s nominee. Beneficial interests in the common shares traded on the Euronext Milan are held through Monte Titoli S.p.A., the 
Italian central clearing and settlement system, as a participant in DTC.

In connection with the Merger, CNH Industrial implemented a loyalty voting program, pursuant to which the former shareholders of each of 
Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and CNH Global N.V. were able to elect to receive one CNH Industrial special voting share to be held only with each CNH 
Industrial common share they were entitled to receive in the Merger, provided that they fulfilled the requirements described in the terms and 
conditions of the loyalty voting program. The CNH Industrial common shares held by shareholders that elected to participate in the loyalty 
voting program had their common shares registered in the Company’s Loyalty Register. Following this registration, a corresponding number 
of special voting shares were allocated to such shareholders, and the additional voting rights could be exercised at the first CNH Industrial 
shareholders’ meeting that followed the registration. By signing an election form, whose execution was necessary to elect to participate in the 
loyalty voting program, shareholders also agreed to be bound by the terms and conditions thereof, including the transfer restrictions described 
below. The terms and conditions applicable to special voting shares are available on the Company’s website (www.cnhindustrial.com).

Following the completion of the Merger, CNH Industrial shareholders may at any time elect to participate in the loyalty voting program 
by  requesting  that  CNH  Industrial  registers  all  or  some  of  their  CNH  Industrial  common  shares  in  the  Loyalty  Register.  If  these  CNH 
Industrial common shares have been registered in the Loyalty Register (and thus blocked from trading in the regular trading system) for an 
uninterrupted period of three years in the name of the same shareholder, such shares become eligible to receive special voting shares to be 
held with associated common shares (the “Qualifying Common Shares”) and the relevant shareholder will be entitled to hold one special 
voting share for each such Qualifying Common Share the shareholder continues to hold. If at any time such CNH Industrial common shares 
are de-registered from the Loyalty Register for whatever reason, the relevant shareholder shall lose his, her or its entitlement to hold a 
corresponding number of special voting shares.

A holder of Qualifying Common Shares may at any time request the de-registration of some or all such shares from the Loyalty Register, 
which will allow such shareholder to freely trade its CNH Industrial common shares. From the moment of such request, the holder of 
Qualifying Common Shares shall be considered to have waived his/her/its rights to cast any votes associated with the loyalty voting shares 
corresponding  to  its  previously  Qualifying  Common  Shares.  Upon  the  de-registration  from  the  Loyalty  Register,  the  relevant  common 

100

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEshares will therefore cease to be Qualifying Common Shares. Any de-registration request would automatically trigger a mandatory transfer 
requirement pursuant to which the special voting shares will be surrendered to CNH Industrial for no consideration.

CNH Industrial’s common shares are freely transferable. Special voting shares are not admitted to listing and are transferable only in very 
limited  circumstances  and  only  along  with  the  common  shares  to  which  they  are  associated.  Any  transfer  of  common  shares  that  are 
registered on the Loyalty Register will trigger the de-registration of such common shares from that register and any associated special voting 
shares will automatically be surrendered to CNH Industrial for no consideration.

The purpose of the loyalty voting program is to grant long-term CNH Industrial shareholders an extra voting right as qualifying shareholders 
are entitled to exercise an additional vote through the common share and the associated special voting share held. However, under Dutch 
law, the special voting shares cannot be excluded from economic entitlements. As a result, in accordance with the Articles of Association, 
holders of special voting shares are entitled to a minimum dividend, which is allocated to a separate special dividend reserve (the “Special 
Dividend Reserve”). The distribution of dividends from the Special Dividend Reserve can only be approved by the general meeting of the 
holders of special voting shares upon proposal of the Board of Directors. The power to vote upon the distribution from the Special Dividend 
Reserve is the only power that is granted to that meeting, which can only be convened by the Board of Directors as it deems necessary. No 
distribution has been made from this reserve. The special voting shares do not have any other economic entitlement.

Section 10 of the special voting share terms and conditions includes liquidated damages provisions intended to discourage any attempt 
by participants in the loyalty voting program to violate the terms thereof. These liquidated damages provisions may be enforced by CNH 
Industrial by means of a legal action brought by the Company in the courts of the Netherlands. In particular, a violation of the provisions of 
the above-mentioned terms and conditions concerning the transfer of special voting shares may lead to the imposition of liquidated damages.

Pursuant to Section 12 of the special voting share terms and conditions, any amendment to the terms and conditions (other than merely 
technical, non-material amendments) may only be made with the approval of the general meeting of shareholders of CNH Industrial.

A shareholder must promptly notify CNH Industrial upon the occurrence of a change of control, which is defined in Article 4(1)(n) of the 
Articles of Association as including any direct or indirect transfer, carried out through one or a series of related transactions, by a CNH Industrial 
shareholder that is not an individual of (i) the ownership or control of 50% or more of the voting rights of such shareholder, (ii) the de facto 
ability to direct the casting of 50% or more of the votes which may be expressed at the general meetings of such shareholder, or (iii) the ability 
to appoint or remove half or more of the Directors, Executive Directors or Board members or executive officers of such shareholder or to 
direct the casting of 50% or more of the voting rights at meetings of the Board, governing body or executive committee of such shareholder. 
In accordance with Article 4(1)(n) of the Articles of Association, no change of control shall be deemed to have occurred if (i) the transfer of 
ownership and/or control is the result of the succession or the liquidation of assets between spouses or the inheritance, inter vivos donation or 
other transfer to a spouse or a relative up to and including the fourth degree or (ii) the fair market value of the Qualifying Common Shares held 
by the relevant CNH Industrial shareholder represents less than 20% of the total assets of the Transferred Group at the time of the transfer and 
the Qualifying Common Shares, in the sole judgment of CNH Industrial, are not otherwise material to the Transferred Group or the change of 
control transaction. Article 4(1)(n) of the Articles of Association defines “Transferred Group” as comprising the relevant shareholder together 
with its affiliates, if any, over which control was transferred as part of the same change of control transaction, as such term in defined in Article 
4(1)(n) of the Articles of Association. A change of control will trigger the de-registration of the applicable Qualifying Common Shares from the 
Loyalty Register and the suspension of the special voting rights attached to such Qualifying Common Shares.

GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

At least one general meeting of Company shareholders shall be held every year, which meeting shall be held within six months after the 
close of the prior financial year. In addition, general meetings of shareholders shall be held in the situations referred to in Article 2:108a of 
the Dutch Civil Code and as often as the Board of Directors, the Chair, the Senior Non-Executive Director or the Chief Executive Officer 
deems it necessary to hold them, without prejudice to what has been provided in the next paragraph hereof. 

Shareholders solely or jointly representing at least ten percent (10%) of the Company’s issued share capital may request the Board of 
Directors, in writing, to call a general meeting of shareholders, stating the matters to be dealt with. If the Board of Directors fails to call a 
meeting, then such shareholders may, on their application, be authorized by the interim provisions judge of the court (voorzieningenrechter 
van de rechtbank) to convene a general meeting of the Company’s shareholders. The interim provisions judge (voorzieningenrechter van de 
rechtbank) shall reject the application if he/she is not satisfied that the applicants have previously requested the Board of Directors in writing, 
stating the exact subjects to be discussed, to convene a general meeting of shareholders. 

General meetings of shareholders shall be held in Amsterdam or Haarlemmermeer (Schiphol Airport), and shall be called by the Board of 
Directors, the Chairperson, the Senior Non-Executive Director or the Chief Executive Officer, in such manner as is required to comply with 
the law and the applicable stock exchange regulations, not later than on the forty-second (42nd) day prior to the meeting. 

All convocations of meetings of shareholders and all announcements, notifications and communications to Company shareholders shall be 
made by means of an announcement on the Company’s website and such announcement shall remain accessible until the relevant general 
meeting of shareholders. Any communication to be addressed to the general meeting of shareholders by virtue of law or the Articles of 

101

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEAssociation, may be either included in the notice (referred to in the preceding sentence) or, to the extent provided for in such notice, on the 
Company’s website and/or in a document made available for inspection at the office of the Company and such other place(s) as the Board 
of Directors shall determine. 

Convocations of meetings of shareholders may be sent to shareholders through the use of an electronic means of communication to the 
address provided by such shareholders to the Company for this purpose. The notice shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting and 
the agenda of the meeting as well as the other information required by law. 

An item proposed in writing by such number of shareholders who, by law, are entitled to make such proposal, shall be included in the 
notice or shall be announced in a manner similar to the announcement of the notice, provided that the Company has received the relevant 
shareholder’s request, including the reasons for putting the relevant item on the agenda, no later than the sixtieth (60th) day before the day 
of the meeting. 

The agenda of the Annual General Meeting shall contain, inter alia, the following items: 

a)  adoption of the Company’s annual accounts; 

b)  granting of discharge to the members of the Board of Directors in respect of the performance of their duties in the relevant financial 

year; 

c)  the policy of the Company on additions to reserves and on dividends, if any; 

d)  as required by Dutch law, the Company’s Remuneration Policy;

e)  if applicable, the proposal to pay a dividend; 

f)  if applicable, discussion of any substantial change in the corporate governance structure of the Company; 

g)  the appointment of Directors; and

h)  any matters decided upon by the person(s) convening the meeting and any matters placed on the agenda with due observance of 

applicable Dutch laws. 

The Board of Directors shall provide the general meeting of shareholders with all requested information, unless this would be contrary to 
an overriding interest of the Company. If the Board of Directors invokes an overriding interest, it must provide shareholders with details of 
the overriding interest. 

When convening a general meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors shall determine that, for the purpose of Article 18 and Article 
19 of the Articles of Association, persons with the right to vote or attend meetings shall be considered those persons who have these rights 
at the twenty-eighth (28th) day prior to the day of the meeting (the “Record Date”) and are registered as such in a register to be designated 
by the Board of Directors for such purpose, irrespective of whether they will have these rights at the date of the meeting. In addition to the 
Record Date, the notice of the meeting shall further state the manner in which Company shareholders and other parties with meeting rights 
may have themselves registered and the manner in which those rights can be exercised. 

The general meeting of shareholders shall be presided over by the Senior Non-Executive Director or, in his/her absence, by the person 
chosen by the Board of Directors to act as chairperson for such meeting. 

One of the persons present designated for that purpose by the chairperson of the meeting shall act as secretary and take minutes of the business 
transacted. The minutes shall be confirmed by the chairperson of the meeting and the secretary and signed by them in witness thereof. 

The minutes of the general meeting of shareholders shall be made available, on request, to the shareholders no later than three months after 
the end of the meeting, after which the shareholders shall have the opportunity to react to the minutes in the following three months. The 
minutes shall then be adopted in the manner as described in the preceding paragraph. 

If an official notarial record is made of the business transacted at the shareholders’ meeting, then minutes need not be drawn up and it shall 
suffice that the official notarial record be signed by the notary. Each Director shall at all times have power to give instructions for having an 
official notarial record made at the Company’s expense. 

As a prerequisite to attending the meeting and, to the extent applicable, exercising voting rights, shareholders entitled to attend the meeting 
shall be obliged to inform the Board of Directors in writing within the time mentioned in the convening notice. At the latest, this notice must 
be received by the Board of Directors on the day specified in the convening notice. 

Shareholders and those permitted by law to attend the shareholders’ meeting may cause themselves to be represented at any meeting by a 
proxy duly authorized in writing, provided they shall notify the Company in writing of their wish to be represented at such time and place as 
shall be stated in the notice of the meeting. For the avoidance of doubt, such attorney is also authorized in writing if the proxy is documented 
electronically. The Board of Directors may determine further rules concerning the deposit of the powers of attorney and any such additional 
rules shall be mentioned in the notice of the meeting. 

The Company, as a foreign private issuer, is exempt from the proxy rules under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

102

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEThe chairperson of the meeting of shareholders shall decide on the admittance to the meeting of persons other than those who are entitled 
to attend. 

For each general meeting of shareholders, the Board of Directors may decide that shareholders shall be entitled to attend, address and 
exercise voting rights at such meeting through the use of electronic means of communication, provided that shareholders who participate in 
the meeting are capable of being identified through the electronic means of communication and have direct cognizance of the discussions at 
the meeting and the exercising of voting rights (if applicable). The Board of Directors may set requirements for the use of electronic means 
of communication and state these in the convening notice. Furthermore, the Board of Directors may for each meeting of shareholders 
decide that votes cast by the use of electronic means of communication prior to the meeting and received by the Board of Directors shall be 
considered to be votes cast at the meeting. Such votes may not be cast prior to the Record Date. Whether the provision of the foregoing 
sentence applies and the procedure for exercising the rights referred to in that sentence shall be stated in the notice. 

Prior to being allowed admittance to a meeting, a shareholder or its attorney shall sign an attendance list, stating his/her/its name and, to the 
extent applicable, the number of votes to which he/she/it is entitled. Each shareholder attending a meeting by the use of electronic means 
of communication and identified in accordance with the above shall be registered on the attendance list by the Board of Directors. In the 
event that it concerns an attorney of a shareholder, the name(s) of the person(s) on whose behalf the attorney is acting shall also be stated. 
The chairperson of the meeting may decide that the attendance list must also be signed by other persons present at the meeting. 

The chairperson of the meeting may determine the time for which shareholders and others who are permitted to attend the general 
meeting of shareholders may speak if he/she considers this desirable with a view to the orderly conduct of the meeting. 

Every share (whether common or special voting) shall confer the right to cast one vote. 

Shares in respect of which the law determines that no votes may be cast shall be disregarded for the purposes of determining the proportion 
of shareholders voting, present or represented or the proportion of the share capital provided or represented. 

All resolutions shall be passed with an absolute majority of the votes validly cast unless otherwise specified. 

Blank votes shall not be counted as votes cast. 

All votes shall be cast in writing or electronically. The chairperson of the meeting may, however, determine that voting by raising hands or in 
another manner shall be permitted. 

Voting by acclamation shall be permitted if none of the shareholders present objects. 

No voting rights shall be exercised in the general meeting of shareholders for shares owned by the Company or by a subsidiary of the 
Company. Usufructuaries of shares owned by the Company and its subsidiaries shall however not be excluded from exercising their voting 
rights, if the usufruct was created before the shares were owned by the Company or a subsidiary. 

Without prejudice to the other provisions of the Articles of Association, the Company shall determine for each resolution passed: 

a.  the number of shares on which valid votes have been cast; 

b.  the percentage that the number of shares as referred to under a. represents in the issued share capital; 

c.  the aggregate number of votes validly cast; and 

d.  the aggregate number of votes cast in favor of and against a resolution, as well as the number of abstentions. 

ISSUANCE OF SHARES

The general meeting of shareholders or alternatively the Board of Directors, if it has been designated to do so by the general meeting of 
shareholders, shall have authority to resolve on any issuance of shares. The general meeting of shareholders shall, for as long as any such 
designation of the Board of Directors for this purpose is in force, no longer have authority to decide on the issuance of shares. 

The general meeting of shareholders or the Board of Directors if so designated as provided in Article 5, paragraph 1 of the Articles of 
Association, shall decide on the price and the further terms and conditions of issuance of shares, with due observance of what has been 
provided in relation thereto in the law and in the Articles of Association. 

If the Board of Directors is designated to have authority to decide on the issuance of shares, such designation shall specify the class of 
shares and the maximum number of shares that can be issued under such designation. When making such designation the duration thereof, 
which shall not be for more than five years, shall be resolved upon at the same time. The designation may be extended from time to time 
for periods not exceeding five years. The designation may not be withdrawn unless otherwise provided in the resolution in which the 
designation is made. 

Payment for shares shall be made in cash unless another form of consideration has been agreed. Payment in a currency other than euro may 
only be made with the consent of the Company. 

103

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEFor a period of five years from September 28, 2018 up to and including September 27, 2023, the Board of Directors has been irrevocably 
authorized by the shareholders at the AGM held on April 13, 2018, to issue special voting shares up to the maximum aggregate amount 
of special voting shares as provided for in the Company’s authorized share capital as set forth in Article 3, paragraph 1 of the Articles of 
Association. 

For  a  period  of  five  years  from  April  13,  2018  up  to  and  including  April  12,  2023,  the  Board  of  Directors  has  been  authorized  by  the 
shareholders at the AGM held on April 13, 2018 as authorized body to issue common shares and to grant rights to acquire common shares 
in the capital of the Company, which authorization is limited to: (i) the issuance of 15% of the total number of common shares issued in the 
capital of the Company as of April 14, 2018; (ii) an additional 15% of the issued share capital of the Company as per the same date in relation 
to mergers or acquisitions; and (iii) without application of the 15% limitation, issuance of common shares and grant of rights or options (and 
the ability to cancel such rights where necessary or appropriate) to subscribe for common shares in the capital of the Company in so far as 
this would be done to meet obligations resulting from and on the terms of the equity incentive plans of the Company.

In the event of an issuance of common shares, every holder of common shares shall have a right of pre-emption with regard to the shares to 
be issued of that class in proportion to the aggregate amount of his shares of that class; provided, however, that no such right of pre-emption 
shall exist in respect of shares to be issued to Directors or employees of the Company or of a group company pursuant to any Company 
equity incentive or compensation plan. 

The right of pre-emption may be limited or excluded by a resolution of the general meeting of shareholders or a resolution of the Board 
of Directors if it has been designated to do so by the general meeting of shareholders and provided the Board of Directors has also been 
authorized to resolve on the issuance of shares of the company. 

At the AGM held on April 13, 2018 for a period of five years starting from such date and therefore up to and including April 12, 2023, the 
Board of Directors has been authorized by the shareholders as authorized body to limit or exclude the statutory preemptive rights of 
shareholders in connection with the issuance of common shares or rights to acquire shares in the capital of the Company, pursuant to the 
share issuance authorization described above. 

A shareholder shall have no right of pre-emption for shares that are issued against a non-cash contribution. 

In the event of an issuance of special voting shares to Qualifying Shareholders, shareholders shall not have any right of pre-emption. 

The general meeting of shareholders or the Board of Directors, as the case may be, shall decide when passing the resolution to issue shares 
in which manner and, subject to paragraph 3 of Article 6 of the Articles of Association, within what period the right of pre-emption may 
be exercised. 

PRINCIPAL OFFICE AND HOME MEMBER STATE

The  Company  is  incorporated  under  the  laws  of  the  Netherlands.  It  has  its  corporate  seat  in  Amsterdam  and  the  place  of  effective 
management of the Company is in the United Kingdom. 

The Company’s principal office and business address is at 25 St. James’s Street, London, SW1A 1HA, United Kingdom. 

The Company is registered at the Commercial Register kept at the Chamber of Commerce in Amsterdam under file number 56532474 and 
at the Companies House in the United Kingdom under file number FC031116 BR016181.

The Netherlands is the Company’s home member state for the purposes of the EU Transparency Directive (Directive 2004/109/EC, as 
amended).

CULTURE

The Board is responsible for creating and fostering a culture aimed at long-term value creation for the Group and all of its stakeholders. 
Operating in compliance with all applicable laws and consistent with the Company’s values and expectations is critical to creating such 
a culture.  Accordingly, to clarify and make explicit the Company’s values and expectations, in 2014  the Board  adopted the Company’s 
code  of  conduct  (which  was  renewed  and  updated  in  2019,  the  “Code  of  Conduct”)  and  the  Company  issued  its  Supplier  Code  of 
Conduct, both of which are discussed below. In addition, the Company established a compliance and ethics program that is overseen by 
the Global Compliance and Ethics Committee (“GCEC”). The members of the GCEC include the: Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial 
Officer, head of Internal Audit, Corporate General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer (“CCO”), Chief Information Officer, President of the 
Financial Services segment, head of the Human Resources function, and Chief Strategy, Talent, ICT and Digital Officer. The GCEC meets 
at least quarterly to, among other things, review and discuss compliance and ethics trends and topics, review and discuss compliance risk 
assessments,  discuss  compliance-related  training  to  be  deployed,  consider  the  need  for  new  or  modified  compliance-related  corporate 
policies, and review matters submitted to the Company’s Compliance Helpline (see below) and related investigations. The extent to which 
each employee complies with and promotes such culture and values is assessed each year through, among other things, the Company’s 
performance assessment process. 

104

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCECODE OF CONDUCT

On July 31, 2014, the Board of Directors adopted the Company’s Code of Conduct that describes the Company’s values that contribute to a 
culture focused on long-term value creation. The Company periodically reviews and updates the Code of Conduct to ensure it is consistent 
with applicable laws and best practices. In September 2019 the Board of Directors adopted the current revised and updated version of the 
Code of Conduct. The Code of Conduct forms an integral part of the internal control system and sets out the principles of business ethics to 
which CNH Industrial adheres and which Directors, officers, employees, consultants and business “partners” are required to observe. The 
Code of Conduct covers topics such as the environment, health and safety, antitrust/competition, anti-corruption, data privacy, management 
of human resources, communities and respect of human rights.

The CNH Industrial Group uses its best endeavors to ensure that suppliers, consultants and any third party with whom the CNH Industrial 
Group has a business relationship be informed of the principles set forth in the Code of Conduct.

In  addition,  in  2015  the  Company  issued  its  Supplier  Code  of  Conduct,  which  includes  the  Company’s  guidelines  and  expectations  for 
suppliers with regard to such areas as labor and human rights, the environment, trade restrictions and export controls, business ethics and 
anti-corruption, and reporting matters to the Company.

The Code of Conduct is available in 19 languages on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website, (www.cnhindustrial.
com), and on the Company’s intranet site. 

The Supplier Code of Conduct is available on the Suppliers section of the Company’s website and on the Company’s intranet site and is 
available in nine languages.

The Company has established dedicated channels of communication to enable CNH Industrial’s employees, customers, suppliers, and other 
third parties to report alleged irregularities of a general, operational, and financial nature with the Company. The Company’s Compliance 
Helpline is a global reporting tool available in 14 languages and is managed by an independent third party. Reports may be submitted through 
a dedicated web portal (www.cnhindustrialcompliancehelpline.com), by phone (to a call center managed by a third party), or in person to 
a manager or other Company representative. Company employees are required to report compliance issues. Where legally permissible, 
reports may be submitted on an anonymous basis. In addition, where legally required, the nature of the reports may be limited to certain 
subject matters. The Company investigates reports submitted and, in appropriate cases, implements corrective and/or disciplinary actions.

The Group’s ethics and compliance program is managed by the Global Compliance function. The Company’s CCO manages the Global 
Compliance function and reports to the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the CCO reports on (at least) a quarterly basis to 
the Audit Committee. The CCO’s reports to the Audit Committee include such things as compliance training and communications activities, 
material compliance and ethics trends and topics, matters reported to the Compliance Helpline, the status of material investigations, and the 
effectiveness of the compliance and ethics program. The Global Compliance function is responsible for, among other things, maintaining the 
Code of Conduct, creating and deploying compliance training, managing the Compliance Helpline (including investigating reported matters), 
creating and maintaining compliance-related corporate policies, and assessing legal and compliance risks and working with stakeholders to 
develop policies, procedures and controls to effectively manage such risks.

The Group’s Code of Conduct is supplemented by additional corporate policies, guidelines and procedures that provide greater detail than 
is contained in the Code of Conduct. Corporate policies cover areas of higher risk given the nature and extent of the Company’s business 
such as: conflicts of interest, bribery and corruption, antitrust/competition law, international trade compliance, and data privacy. Each year 
certain categories of employees (i.e. those deemed to have responsibilities presenting potentially greater risk to the Company) are required 
to certify that (1) they have read and understand the Code of Conduct and the Company’s Conflict of Interest Policy, and (2) they have not 
violated, and are not aware of a violation of, the Code of Conduct or the Conflict of Interest Policy.

RESPECT FOR HUMAN RIGHTS

CNH  Industrial  respects  and  promotes  human  rights  in  line  with  national  laws,  the  fundamental  Conventions  of  the  International  Labour 
Organization (ILO), the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. In addition to 
setting out principles of professional conduct, the Company’s Code of Conduct also underscores the importance of respect for the individual.

The Company is committed to ensuring respect for fundamental human rights wherever it operates and seeks to promote respect for these 
principles by others where it has an influence, particularly among contractors, suppliers, and other entities and individuals with whom it has 
a business relationship. The Company will not establish or continue a relationship with an entity or individual that refuses to respect the 
principles of its Code of Conduct.

CNH Industrial monitors respect for human rights both internally, through the Internal Audit function, and for suppliers, through an annual 
assessment process. In 2021, approximately 3,610 Company employees have been involved in the analysis, including 6 countries in Rest of 
World and 1,389 suppliers have been assessed worldwide, representing 73% of direct material purchases.

The Company seeks to implement a variety of measures (e.g., training activities) to help employees understand and address human rights issues 
in the course of their work. In 2021, online training on human rights and other Code of Conduct aspects was delivered to all of CNH Industrial’s 

105

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEBoard of Directors and SLT members, as well as to approximately 24,295 employees. Moreover, specific human rights courses focusing on 
workplace respect and sexual harassment was delivered in North America to approximately 3,584 employees, for total of 896 hours. 

ANTI-CORRUPTION AND BRIBERY

CNH Industrial’s commitment to doing business with integrity means avoiding corruption in any form, including bribery, and complying with 
the anti-corruption laws of all countries in which it operates.

CNH  Industrial  has  adopted  and  implemented  an  Anti-Corruption  Policy,  which  is  distributed  to  all  Company  employees  and  senior 
management across all geographical areas and is available on the Company’s intranet portal in 19 languages. The Company also provides 
corruption prevention training using both online and scenario-based classroom training.

CNH Industrial’s Internal Audit function verifies, among other things, corruption prevention processes and controls. The results of such 
internal audits are submitted to both the Company’s Audit Committee and senior management, in order to enable them to take action 
when an opportunity to improve internal controls is identified. In 2021, no substantiated reports of bribery or corruption were reported 
to the Company through the Compliance Helpline or otherwise. In addition, Internal Audit activities did not identify bribery or corruption 
problems  or  issues.  The  Company  also  investigates  and  tracks,  among  other  things,  all  corruption  allegations  to  evaluate  the  need  for 
additional controls and training, and surveys all employees annually, reminding them of their obligation to report compliance issues. 

In addition, the Company’s Supplier Code of Conduct sets forth the Company’s expectations with respect to all suppliers. The Supplier 
Code of Conduct prohibits any form of bribery, “kickbacks”, or any other improper payment (of cash or anything of value) to a third party 
to obtain an unfair or improper advantage.

As stated in the Code of Conduct, CNH Industrial is aware of the potential direct and indirect impact of its decisions on the communities in 
which it operates. For this reason, the Company promotes an open dialogue to ensure that the legitimate expectations of local communities 
are taken into consideration, and voluntarily endorses projects and activities that encourage their economic, social, and cultural development. 
Moreover, CNH Industrial acts in a socially responsible manner by respecting the culture and traditions of each country, and by operating 
with integrity to earn the trust of the community.

The individual Segments or brands, in consultation with local management, decide which projects to support based on actual local needs, 
maximizing open dialogue with local stakeholders and collecting their suggestions for improvement. They also decide whether to act directly 
or through partnerships with local institutions and organizations working in the social sphere.

The CNH Industrial Community Investment Policy, available on the Company’s website, ensures that activities are managed consistently, 
identifying methods and defining areas of application at a global level. 

In 2021, resources allocated by CNH Industrial to communities were valued at approximately $8.74 million.

In addition, CNH Industrial strives to respond rapidly to the needs of people affected by natural disasters. The Company channels resources 
(vehicles and financial and technical support) to aid impacted communities, and coordinates employees who want to voluntarily assist in 
relief efforts.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS POLICY

The Company adopted a Related Party Transactions Policy to ensure that all the transactions with related parties (as defined in compliance 
with  IAS  24  and  ASC  850)  shall  be  subject  to  proper  review,  approval  or  ratification,  as  the  case  may  be,  in  accordance  with  certain 
procedures set forth by the Company to ensure full transparency and substantive and procedural fairness.

INSIDER TRADING POLICY

On  September  9,  2013,  the  Board  of  Directors  adopted  an  Insider  Trading  Policy  setting  forth  guidelines  and  recommendations  to  all 
Directors, officers and employees of the CNH Industrial Group with respect to transactions in CNH Industrial’s securities or the securities 
of any third party to the extent that such person acquires material non-public information in relation to that third party, or the financial 
instruments of that third party, as a result of such person’s employment with, or service to, the CNH Industrial Group. This policy, which 
also applies to immediate family members and members of the households of persons covered by the policy, is designed to prevent insider 
trading or allegations of insider trading, and to protect CNH Industrial’s reputation for integrity and ethical conduct.

The Insider Trading Policy is available on the Corporate Governance section of the Company’s website, www.cnhindustrial.com.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEMARKET ABUSE REGULATION (MAR)

The regulatory framework on market abuse is laid down in the Market Abuse Directive (2014/57/EU) as implemented in Dutch law and the 
Market Abuse Regulation (No. 596/2014, the “MAR”) which is directly applicable in the Netherlands.

Pursuant to the MAR, no natural or legal person is permitted to: (a) engage or attempt to engage in insider dealing in financial instruments 
listed on a regulated market or for which a listing has been requested, such as the shares, (b) recommend that another person engages in 
insider dealing or induce another person to engage in insider dealing or (c) unlawfully disclose inside information relating to the shares or the 
Company. Furthermore, no person may engage in or attempt to engage in market manipulation.

“Inside Information” is any information of a precise nature relating (directly or indirectly) to the Company, or to the shares in the Company 
or other financial instruments, which information has not been made public and which, if it were made public, would be likely to have an 
effect on the price of the shares or the other financial instruments or on the price of related derivative financial instruments (i.e. information 
a reasonable investor would be likely to use as part of the basis of his or her investment decision). An intermediate step in a protracted 
process can also deemed to be inside information.

Furthermore, in the field of prevention of insider dealing, MAR reiterates the notification regime in place for managers’ transactions involving 
issuer’s securities. Under the MAR, a person discharging managerial responsibilities (“PDMR”) and persons closely associated with them must 
notify the issuers and the national competent authority of every transaction conducted on their own account relating to the shares or debt 
instruments of that issuer, or to derivatives or other financial instruments linked to those shares or debt instruments. Such notifications pursuant 
to the MAR described must be made to the AFM and the Company no later than the third business day following the relevant transaction date. 

DISCLOSURE OF INSIDE INFORMATION

Inside Information, as defined under MAR, is crucial for CNH Industrial since EU rules set forth a clear obligation upon the issuers to make 
any Inside Information public as soon as possible and in a manner that enables fast access and complete, correct and timely assessment of 
the information. 

The above disclosure requirement shall be complied with through the publication of a press release in accordance with the modalities set 
forth under MAR disclosing to the public the relevant Inside Information. 

However, the Company may defer the publication of inside information if it can guarantee the confidentiality of the information. Such deferral 
is only possible if the publication thereof could damage the Company’s legitimate interests and if the deferral does not risk misleading the 
market. If the Company makes use of this deferral right, it needs to inform the CONSOB thereof as soon as that information is made public. 
Upon request of the CONSOB, a written explanation needs to be provided setting out why a delay of the publication was considered 
permitted. The Company is required to post and maintain on its website all inside information for a period of at least five years.

INSIDERS LISTS

Pursuant to Article 18 of the MAR, CNH Industrial as well as persons acting on its behalf or for its account, shall draw up in accordance with 
a precise electronic format and keep regularly updated, a list of persons who, in the exercise of their employment, profession or duties, have 
access to Inside Information. CNH Industrial shall transmit the Insider list to the relevant competent authority, upon its request.

PUBLIC TENDER OFFERS AND PRIVATE BIDS

Any offer launched for CNH Industrial’s common shares (and/or for financial instruments linked to such common shares) and bonds with 
respect to both voluntary and mandatory public tender offers shall be managed in compliance with applicable laws and regulations, relevant 
provisions and with any requirement imposed by/or subject to national relevant authority’s supervision, in particular, among other things, the 
provisions concerning the tender offer price, the content of the offer document and the disclosure of the tender offer.

If and when occurring, CNH Industrial will respond appropriately to any potential future private bid considering the circumstances of such 
matter at the relevant time.

DISCLOSURES PURSUANT TO DECREE IMPLEMENTING ARTICLE 10 EU-DIRECTIVE 
ON TAKEOVERS

In accordance with the Dutch Besluit artikel 10 overnamerichtlijn (the Decree), the Company makes the following disclosures: 

a.  For information on the capital structure of the Company, the composition of the issued share capital and the existence of the two 
classes of shares, please refer to Note 21 “Equity” to the Consolidated Financial Statements in this Annual Report. For information on 
the rights attached to the common shares, please refer to the Articles of Association which can be found on the Company’s website. 

107

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCETo summarize, the rights attached to common shares comprise pre-emptive rights upon issue of common shares, the entitlement to 
attend the general meeting of shareholders and to speak and vote at that meeting and the entitlement to distributions of such amount 
of the Company’s profit as remains after allocation to reserves. For information on the rights attached to the special voting shares, 
please refer to the Articles of Association and the Terms and Conditions for the Special Voting Shares which can both be found on 
the Company’s website and more in particular to the paragraph “Loyalty Voting Program” of this Annual Report. As at December 31, 
2021, the issued share capital of the Company consisted of 1,364,400,196 common shares, representing 77% of the aggregate issued 
share capital and 396,474,276 special voting shares, representing 23% of the aggregate issued share capital.

b.  The Company has imposed no limitations on the transfer of common shares. The Articles of Association provide in Article 12 for 
transfer restrictions for special voting shares. The Company is not aware of any depository receipts having been issued for shares in its 
capital.

c.  For  information  on  participations  in  the  Company’s  capital  in  respect  of  which  pursuant  to  Sections  5:34,  5:35  and  5:43  of  the 
Dutch Financial Supervision Acts (Wet op het financieel toezicht) notification requirements apply, please refer to the chapter “Major 
Shareholders” of this Annual Report. There you will find a list of shareholders who are known to the Company to have holdings of 3% 
or more.

d.  No special control rights or other rights accrue to shares in the capital of the Company.

e.  Current equity incentive plans adopted by the Company are administered by the Human Capital and Compensation Committee.

f.  No restrictions apply to voting rights attached to shares in the capital of the Company, nor are there any deadlines for exercising voting 

rights. The Articles of Association do not allow the Company to cooperate with the issue of depository receipts for shares.

g.  The Company is not aware of the existence of any agreements with shareholders which may result in restrictions on the transfer of 

shares or limitation of voting rights.

h.  The rules governing the appointment and dismissal of members of the board of directors of the Company are stated in the Articles of 
Association of the Company. All members of the Board of Directors are appointed by the general meeting of shareholders. The term 
of office of all members of the Board of Directors is for a period of approximately one year after appointment, such period expiring on 
the day the first Annual General Meeting of Shareholders is held in the following calendar year. The general meeting of shareholders 
has the power to dismiss any member of the Board of Directors at any time.

  The rules governing an amendment of the Articles of Association are stated in the Articles of Association and require a resolution of 
the general meeting of shareholders which can only be passed pursuant to a prior proposal of the Board of Directors of the Company.

i.  The general powers of the Board of Directors are stated in the Articles of Association of the Company. For a period of five years 
from September 28, 2018 up to and including September 27, 2023, the Board of Directors has been irrevocably authorized by the 
shareholders at the AGM held on April 13, 2018 to issue special voting shares up to the maximum aggregate amount of special voting 
shares as provided for in the Company’s authorized share capital as set forth in Article 3, paragraph 1 of the Articles of Association. 
For a period of five years from April 13, 2018 up to and including April 12, 2023, the Board of Directors has been authorized by the 
shareholders at the AGM held on April 13, 2018 as authorized body to issue common shares and to grant rights to acquire common 
shares in the capital of the Company, which authorization is limited to: (i) the issuance of 15% of the total number of common shares 
issued in the capital of the Company as of April 14, 2018; (ii) an additional 15% of the issued share capital of the Company as per the 
same date in relation to mergers or acquisitions; and (iii) without application of the 15% limitation, issuance of common shares and 
grant of rights or options (and the ability to cancel such rights where necessary or appropriate) to subscribe for common shares in the 
capital of the Company in so far as this would be done to meet obligations resulting from and on the terms of the equity incentive 
plans of the Company. At the AGM held on April 13, 2018 for a period of five years starting from such date and therefore up to and 
including April 12, 2023, the Board of Directors has been also authorized by the shareholders as authorized body to limit or exclude 
the statutory preemptive rights of shareholders in connection with the issuance of common shares or rights to acquire shares in the 
capital of the Company, pursuant the share issuance authorization described above. 

  The Board of Directors is authorized to acquire special voting shares in the capital of the Company for no consideration. Further rules 
governing the acquisition of shares by the Company in its own share capital are set out in article 5 of the Articles of Association of the 
Company.

j.  The Company is not a party to any significant agreements which will take effect, will be altered or will be terminated upon a change 
of control of the Company as a result of a public offer within the meaning of Section 5:70 of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet 
op het financieel toezicht), provided that some of the loan agreements guaranteed by the Company and certain bonds guaranteed by 
the Company contain clauses that, as it is customary for such financial transactions, may require early repayment or termination in the 
event of a change of control of the guarantor or the borrower. In certain cases, that requirement may only be triggered if the change 
of control event coincides with other conditions, such as a credit rating downgrade.

108

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEk.  Under the terms of the CNH Industrial EIP and the terms of engagement entered into with certain executive officers, executives may 
be entitled to receive severance payments of up to one (1) times their annual cash compensation and accelerated vesting of awards 
under  plans  issued under the CNH Industrial EIP if, within twenty-four (24) months  of  a  Change  of  Control  (as  defined therein), 
the executive’s employment is involuntarily terminated (other than for Cause - as defined therein -) by the relevant entity of the 
CNH Industrial Group or is terminated by the participant for Good Reason (as defined therein).

SUSTAINABILITY PRACTICES

CNH  Industrial  is  committed  to  operating  in  an  environmentally  and  socially-responsible  manner,  creating  long-term  value  for  all  its 
stakeholders. For this purpose, the Company has a robust Governance model, to manage all its operations in an ethical and transparent 
way. Sustainability in CNH Industrial is a way of doing business and it involves every area, function and employee within the organization.

The  main  tools  of  the  sustainability  management  system  are:  the  materiality  analysis,  which  defines  social  and  environmental  priorities; 
approximately 200 KPIs, which are used to help monitor sustainability performance; the Sustainability Plan, which tracks commitments; and 
the annual Sustainability Report.

For further details see the previous section on “Our Commitment to Sustainable Development and Long-term Value Creation”.

COMPLIANCE WITH DUTCH CORPORATE GOVERNANCE CODE

While  CNH  Industrial  endorses  the  principles  and  best  practice  provisions  of  the  DCGC,  its  current  corporate  governance  structure 
deviates from the following best practice provisions, only with respect to minor aspects as follows:

	 Under best practice provision 5.1.3, the chairman of the management board should be an independent Director. CNH Industrial has 
adopted a one-tier governance structure with two Executive Directors and, in accordance with section 14(2) of the Articles of Association, 
the Board has granted to them, respectively, the title of ‘Chair’ and ‘Chief Executive Officer’. The Board has entrusted to an independent 
Director the duties attributed by the DCGC to the chairman of the management board in one-tier companies (or to the chairman of 
the supervisory board in two-tier companies). The Board has granted to such independent Director the title of ‘Senior Non-Executive 
Director’ (so as to distinguish such Director from the Chairperson of the Company, who is an Executive Director). As a consequence, 
despite the difference in corporate titles, the Company believes it complies with best practice provision 5.1.3, as the current Senior Non-
Executive Director satisfies the requirements described in best practice provision 5.1.3 of the DCGC. 

	 CNH  Industrial  deviates  from  best  practice  provision  2.3.4  in  that  the  Senior  Non-Executive  Director  (who  is  independent)  is  the 
chairman of the Human Capital and Compensation Committee, whereas the DCGC provides that the persons who chairs the board 
meeting should not assume the role of chairman of the remuneration committee. The Company believes that such duplication of role 
enhances the effectiveness of the Senior Non-Executive Director and is consistent with the intent of best practice provision 2.3.4.

	 The Board has not appointed a vice-chairman in the sense of best practice provision 2.3.7 of the DCGC. Since the Company adopted a one-
tier governance structure with a single management board comprised of Executive Directors and Non-Executive Directors, the Board has 
granted the title of ‘Chairperson’ to one Executive Director and designated as ‘Senior Non-Executive Director’ one of the Non-Executive 
Directors. The Senior Non-Executive Director is responsible for the proper functioning of the Board of Directors and its Committees. 
Furthermore, the Board Regulations provide that in the absence of the Senior Non-Executive Director any other Non-Executive Director 
chosen by a majority of the Directors present at a meeting shall preside at meetings of the Board of Directors. The Company considers the 
above sufficient to ensure that the role and function assigned by the DCGC to the vice-chairman is properly discharged.

	 Pursuant to best practice provision 4.1.8 of the DCGC, every Executive and Non-Executive Director nominated for appointment should 
attend the Annual General Meeting at which votes will be cast on his/her nomination. Since, pursuant to the Articles of Association, the 
term of office of Directors is approximately one year, such period expiring on the day the first Annual General Meeting of Company 
shareholders is held in the following calendar year, all members of the Board of Directors are nominated for (re)appointment each year. 
By publishing the relevant biographical details and curriculum vitae of each nominee for (re)appointment, the Company ensures that the 
Company’s general meeting of shareholders is well informed in respect of the nominees for (re)appointment and in practice only the 
Executive Directors, and Non-Executive Directors nominated for the first time for appointment to the Board, will therefore attend the 
Annual General Meeting.

	 The Company does not have a retirement schedule as referred to in paragraph 2.2.4 of the DCGC. Pursuant to the Articles of Association, 
the term of office of Directors is approximately one year, such period expiring on the day the first Annual General Meeting of Company 
shareholders is held in the following calendar year. This approach is in line with the general practice for companies listed in the U.S. As the 
Company is listed on the NYSE, it also relies on certain U.S. governance requirements and practices, one of which is the reappointment 
of Directors at each Annual General Meeting of Company shareholders.

109

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEStatement by the Board of Directors 
Based on the assessment performed, the Board of Directors believes that, as of December  31, 2021, the Group’s and the Company’s 
Internal Control over Financial Reporting is considered effective and that (i) the Board Report provides sufficient insights into any material 
weakness in the effectiveness of the internal risk management and control systems. This is discussed in section “Internal Control System”; 
(ii) the internal risk management and control systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that the financial reporting does not 
contain any material inaccuracies. This is discussed in section “Internal Control System”; (iii) based on the current state of affairs, it is justified 
that the Group’s and the Company’s financial reporting is prepared on a going concern basis. This is justified by the discussion in the Notes 
to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in the Notes to the Company Financial Statements; and (iv) the Board Report states those 
material risks and uncertainties that are, in the Board of Director’s judgment, relevant to the expectation of CNH Industrial’s continuity for 
the period of twelve months after the preparation of the Board Report. Refer to section “Risk Factors”.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSCORPORATE GOVERNANCEREMUNERATION REPORT 

LETTER FROM THE HUMAN CAPITAL AND COMPENSATION COMMITTEE CHAIR

Dear Stakeholders,

I take the opportunity in this annual Remuneration Report to share that we have both expanded the charter and changed the name of 
the Compensation Committee to the Human Capital and Compensation Committee (“HC & CC” or the “Committee”). All of the same 
executive compensation responsibilities continue with duties added to assist the Board of Directors with the periodical review of:

a.  talent development/talent management and succession plans for the Senior Leadership Team;

b.  the Company’s policies and initiatives related to equal employment opportunity, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion; and

c.  the Company’s programs designed to measure and improve overall employee engagement.

With  this  expanded  charter,  we  emphasize  the  importance  we  place  on  our  people  to  achieve  our  strategic  goals  and  continue  as  a 
sustainable business. Developing talent, ensuring ready succession, strengthening an inclusive and equal opportunity working environment, 
and increasing employee engagement are human capital goals that are reviewed in the leadership evaluation of our Executive Directors. 

Later in this report, we highlight certain initiatives during 2021 that support this addition to our Committee’s charter and the connection to 
compensation actions.

Through this annual Remuneration Report, our objective is to provide our stakeholders each year with clear and comprehensive disclosure 
of the Company’s executive compensation policies and decisions during the year with respect to our executive and non-executive directors. 
This year’s report provides the business context and explicitly recognizes the strong performance and resilience demonstrated after the 
extraordinary challenges we faced in 2020 which continued into 2021 and as well as both the organic and non-organic growth achieved, 
showing the clear link between performance and the executive compensation actions taken in 2021.

Executive Directors in 2021
As disclosed in last year’s report, effective January 4, 2021, Scott W. Wine joined CNH Industrial as the new Chief Executive Officer and 
was appointed by our shareholders as an executive director at the April 15, 2021 Annual General Meeting of the shareholders. Suzanne 
Heywood continued in her on-going role of an executive director and Chair of the Board. 

When recruiting the new CEO in late 2020, the Company was managing tremendous change in top leadership in addition to the challenges 
of operating with the adverse impact of the pandemic. Following the departure of our prior CEO (and our CFO immediately thereafter) 
in early 2020, our Chair took on the additional role of acting CEO and served in that role for the remainder of 2020, as the sole Executive 
Director. It was in that context that the Chair and Committee successfully recruited a high caliber candidate for the CEO role.

Mr. Wine comes with valuable relevant experience and a proven successful track record. In his former company, he was the recipient of a 
very competitive pay package with highly leveraged pay elements. To attract him to CNH Industrial, the Board needed to provide a better 
total compensation package. This required setting both his fixed and variable pay in the upper percentile of our compensation peer group, 
as well as covering his forfeited 2020 variable pay (short and long-term) related to his CEO role at his prior employer. 

Mr. Wine, as an experienced Chief Executive Officer, and our Chair, Lady Heywood, with her in-depth understanding of CNH Industrial and 
adept guidance, worked hand-in-hand to lead CNH Industrial to successfully execute its strategic objectives for 2021, most importantly the 
execution of the portfolio transformation, while also achieving revenue and profitability growth in all segments and regions. 

CNH Industrial’s financial recovery in 2021 to levels exceeding even pre-pandemic periods demonstrates that hiring Mr. Wine and the 
Board’s investment decision on the CEO’s pay were sound actions.

2021 Business Context
As for most businesses globally, the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continued into 2021. The Senior Leadership Team continued to 
prioritize: (1) safeguarding the health and safety of our employees, (2) ensuring business continuity, and (3) supporting dealers, customers, 
suppliers, and the communities where we operate. 

111

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSREMUNERATION REPORTOur  markets  came  back  strong,  in  each  industry  and  in  all  regions,  as  the  world  adjusted  to  the  pandemic.  CNH  Industrial  was  well 
positioned  to  capitalize  on  this  increased  demand,  and  our  financial  results  show  our  success,  while  still  protecting  our  employees  and 
supporting our dealers. The constant supply chain shortages and stoppages and related increased costs were extremely challenging, but 
our leaders and employees stepped up with creativity, ingenuity, and relentless determination to find solutions that kept operations running 
efficiently and effectively.

Positioned stronger for the future
While exceeding the short-term operational goals in 2021 and reaching record Adjusted Diluted Earnings Per Share results, we also achieved 
key strategic priorities. First and foremost, we executed the separation of the “Off-Highway” and “On-Highway” businesses. The businesses’ 
futures have been further strengthened by impressive product launches and strategic acquisitions and alliances. The Company completed 
the acquisition of Raven Industries, Inc., a precision agriculture technology company affording CNH Industrial greater digital and technology 
expertise for its Agriculture segment, and acquired Sampierana S.p.A., bringing key excavator innovation in-house for the Construction 
Equipment segment. The Commercial Vehicles segment inaugurated its joint venture manufacturing facility with US-based partner Nikola 
Corporation, to make electric-powered heavy trucks in Ulm, Germany. FPT Industrial continued to strengthen its marine and alternative 
power solutions portfolio, achieved manufacturing milestones, and expanded its distribution network for increased external revenue and 
profitability opportunities. The Financial Services segment continued to provide financing support to our dealers and customers.

We believe the Executive Directors’ remuneration in 2021 is consistent with the Company’s financial performance and achievements of its 
strategic objectives.

On behalf of my fellow members on the Human Resources and Compensation Committee, Catia Bastioli, Howard W. Buffet and Alessandro 
Nasi, I would like to express our appreciation for both Scott and Suzanne’s leadership and the accomplishments delivered in 2021.

With this, I present to you our 2021 Remuneration Report.

Sincerely,

Léo Houle

Chairman of the Human Resources and Compensation Committee and Senior Non-Executive Director

Remuneration Policy Available on our Website
Our Remuneration Policy is designed to competitively reward the achievement of both short-term and long-term performance goals, to help 
drive cultural transformation organization-wide, and to attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified senior executives who are committed 
to performing their roles in the long-term interest of our shareholders and other stakeholders. Within the scope of the Remuneration 
Policy, the remuneration of the Executive Directors is determined by the Board of Directors, at the recommendation of the Committee. 
This annual Remuneration Report describes how the pay programs and practices of the Executive and Non-Executive Directors were 
implemented in 2021, in accordance with the Remuneration Policy, which was last approved by shareholders at the 2020 Annual General 
Meeting (AGM). A copy of the Remuneration Policy is available on the Company’s website, www.cnhindustrial.com. 

At the 2021 AGM, 73.27% of shareholders voted in favor of the Remuneration Report. To better understand the concerns of dissenting 
shareholders,  the  Company  engaged  with  several  large  investors  who  voted  against  our  Remuneration  Report  in  2020.  During  these 
discussions, we took the opportunity to clarify and explain the rationale for our 2020 remuneration actions. We found the discussions 
productive,  and  following  the  feedback  received,  this  year’s  report  includes  enhanced  transparency,  context  and  reasoning  for  2021 
compensation actions. 

Company Highlights
The foundation of CNH Industrial’s Remuneration Policy is pay for performance. The key 2021 Company achievements, successes and 
developments were driven by a pay philosophy that rewards the achievement of our goals. 

Successful portfolio transformation
On January 1, 2022, CNH Industrial successfully implemented the separation of Iveco Group N.V., which included its Commercial Vehicles 
and Specialty Vehicles business, Powertrain business and related Financial Services business from CNH Industrial N.V. (the “Demerger”). 

Strategically, the Demerger allows the Iveco Group and CNH Industrial, which are differently impacted by global trends, and have different 
market outlooks, attractiveness, and competitive dynamics, to focus more closely on their core businesses and customers. Furthermore, 
there were limited manufacturing, distribution and sales synergies between CNH Industrial and the Iveco Group. FPT will remain a key 
supplier to CNH Industrial through a long-term supply agreement.

112

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSREMUNERATION REPORTFollowing the Demerger, there are two independent and stand-alone listed entities, each well positioned to compete with their peers. 
Through the support of their separate financial, human, and managerial capital, we believe all their respective businesses will be better able 
to realize their full potential in terms of financial performance, shareholder and broader stakeholder value generation, and sustainability 
commitment, minimizing to the extent strictly necessary any commingling of the business needs of Iveco Group and CNH Industrial Post-
Demerger.

The Iveco Group shares started trading on Euronext Milano on January 3, 2022. The combined value of CNH Industrial and Iveco Group 
shares at the first day of trading was some 9.1% higher than the value of CNH Industrial shares as of November 10, 2021, the day before 
the publication of the prospectus of the listing of Iveco Group, demonstrating the appreciation of the equity markets for the transaction.

Highlights of our financial performance in 2021(*)
CNH Industrial had a very strong year financially, as the positive results of the following performance indicators demonstrate:

	 Net sales of Industrial Activities of $31.6 billion ($24.3 billion in 2020; $26.1 billion in 2019), a 28% increase from 2020 and 22% from 2019 
at constant currency. 

	 Adjusted Net Income of $1.9 billion ($437 million in 2020 and $1.2 billion in 2019), up 330% compared to 2020 and 60% compared to 
2019 as a result of strong sales and price recovery over inflationary pressures. 

	 Adjusted diluted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) up 382% year-over-year at $1.35 per share a record high ($0.28 per share in 2020 and $0.84 
per share in 2019). 

	 Net cash position of Industrial Activities at the end of 2021 was $0.3 billion (compared to net cash of $0.8 billion in 2020 and net debt 
of $0.9 billion in 2019), after reflecting the disbursement for the acquisition of 100% interest of Raven and 90% interest in Sampierana. 
Free cash flow of Industrial Activities of $1.8 billion remained strong (after a record $1.9 billion reported in 2020), due to strong operating 
performance throughout the entire year. 

	 Fitch Ratings upgrading CNH Industrial’s long-term credit rating by two notches to BBB+ in early January, reflecting the recent Demerger. 
The investment grade ratings of “BBB” from Standard & Poor’s and “Baa3” from Moody’s remained unchanged and all agencies indicate 
stable outlooks. 

The 2021 results of the variable pay plan metrics similarly show strong company performance, overachieving the targets set. Details on the 
annual bonus plan results are detailed in the short-term incentives section of this report on page 121.

Definitions of non-GAAP metrics referenced in the above list (derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP): 

Adjusted Net Income/(Loss): is defined as net income (loss), less restructuring charges and non-recurring items, after tax.  

Adjusted Diluted EPS: is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. by a weighted-average number 
of common shares outstanding during the period that takes into consideration potential common shares outstanding deriving from the 
CNH Industrial share-based payment awards, when inclusion is not anti-dilutive. When we provide guidance for adjusted diluted EPS, we 
do not provide guidance on an earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant items that have not 
yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end. 

Constant  Currency:  CNH  Industrial  discusses  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 to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.

Net Cash (Debt) and Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities: Net Cash (Debt) is defined as total Debt plus Derivative liabilities, net of Cash and 
cash equivalents, Current securities, Derivative assets and other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits 
and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties). We provide the reconciliation of Net Cash (Debt) to Total (Debt), which is the 
most directly comparable GAAP financial measure included in our consolidated statement of financial position. Due to different sources of 
cash flows used for the repayment of the debt between Industrial Activities and Financial Services (by cash from operations for Industrial 
Activities and by collection of financing receivables for Financial Services), management separately evaluates the cash flow performance of 
Industrial Activities using Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities.  

Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (or Industrial Free Cash Flow): refers to Industrial Activities, only, and is computed as consolidated cash flow 
from operating activities less: cash flow from operating activities of Financial Services; investments of Industrial Activities in assets sold under 
buy-back commitments, assets under operating leases, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; change in derivatives hedging 
debt of Industrial Activities; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations.

Reconciliations of non-GAAP metrics referenced in the above list to US-GAAP metrics can be found on page 131 in the Annual Report.

(*)  Includes GAAP and non-GAAP financial measures derived from financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We present our financial performance under U.S. 
GAAP as certain components of the remuneration are determined based on results under U.S. GAAP. Refer to the specific table at the end of the Remuneration Report for the 
reconciliation between the non-GAAP financial measure and the most comparable GAAP financial measures.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSREMUNERATION REPORTEnvironmental, Social and Corporate Governance (ESG) Highlights 
CNH Industrial reinforced our commitment to sustainability in 2021, creating a dedicated senior leadership position to this work and to 
delivering ESG results. The Company maintained its top-ranking position in the Dow Jones Sustainability Indices (DJSI) World and Europe for 
the eleventh consecutive year, while also receiving a Platinum medal certification in the prestigious annual EcoVadis sustainability assessment.

To support our ESG initiatives, we also have quantifiable ESG-related performance criteria in the 2021 Company Bonus Plan performance 
goals, specifically CO2 Emissions % and Accident Frequency Rate metrics, which impact the variable pay for all the participants, including the 
CEO and our Senior Leadership Team. Details of the 2021 goals and achievements are disclosed in the short-term incentive section of this 
report. 

The ESG targets for the annual Company Bonus Plan were chosen based on the outcome of an in-depth materiality analysis, revealing that 
CO2 emissions and safety are the most material aspects internally and for stakeholders. 
	 CNH Industrial is committed to reducing: the use of fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy sources; energy consumption through more 
efficient processes; and CO2 emissions by cutting energy consumption while adopting both innovative technical solutions.
	 CNH Industrial’s approach to occupational health and safety is based on effective preventive and protective measures, implemented 
both collectively and individually, aimed at minimizing risk of injury in the workplace. CNH Industrial endeavors to ensure optimal working 
conditions applying principles of industrial hygiene and ergonomics to managing processes at organizational and operational level. The 
Company adopts the highest standards in the countries in which it operates, even where regulatory requirements are less stringent, 
believing this to be the best way to achieve excellence. 

Diversity and Inclusion
Our Company is committed to creating a diverse and inclusive environment where all employees feel empowered, engaged, and valued. 
To progress towards our company’s diversity and inclusion goals, we are carrying out dedicated initiatives around the globe, such as the 
following:

	 Increasing consistently the number of women managers, including three new into Senior Leadership Team roles in 2021.

	 Providing D&I training to employees.

	 All Senior Leadership Team (SLT) members and the managers reporting directly to them (over 200 employees) actively participated in 
several workshops on unconscious bias and inclusion, aimed at making them fully aware of the potential bias that might arise in people 
management processes and at enhancing their understanding and sense of inclusivity.

	 A “Let’s Talk” series focused on diversity and equity and facilitated by a D&I expert was attended by 700 employees.

	 In North America, CNH Industrial is a Corporate Partnership Council member of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), an organization 
that empowers women to achieve their full potential in careers as engineers and leaders, highlighting the value of diversity. As a corporate 
member, the Company attended the SWE’s annual conference and continued to support its mission and objectives by funding programs, 
supporting diversity, and creating and promoting opportunities for women in engineering and technology.

	 Several initiatives in Europe and South America have been implemented to foster the inclusion of employees with disabilities. Spain has 
renewed the commitment to support the hiring and integration of workers with physical disabilities in the manufacturing plant, while in 
France a dedicated training has been delivered to employees who work directly with deaf or hearing-impaired colleagues.

	 In Brazil, CNH Industrial’s commitment to D&I was rewarded for the third year with the Prêmio AB Diversidade no Setor Automotivo 
award by Automotive Business and MHD Consultoria, in collaboration with a jury of diversity specialists. The award is given in recognition 
of  companies  whose  initiatives  and  outcomes  foster  internal  diversity  and  inclusion  while  also  generating  a  positive  impact  on  the 
automotive industry.

	 In South America the Women that Inspire initiative has been rolled out both in Brazil and Argentina. This action is an output from a focal 
group organized to involve and gather input from employees. Women that Inspire aims to share the professional stories of women who 
are in key positions in the organization and who can inspire all professionals on their journeys.

Business Highlights
Our strong financial performance in 2021 reflected the commitment of our businesses to meet the needs of customers with innovative 
products launched across all segments. Additionally, strategic acquisitions strengthened our position in our industries even further. Our 
business segments’ product and services achievements are vital to the overall performance of CNH Industrial in 2021 and for the future. 
Below are some highlights during 2021.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSREMUNERATION REPORTCompensation Peer Group 
The quality of our leaders and their commitment to the Company are fundamental to our success. Our compensation philosophy supports 
our business strategy and growth objectives in a diverse and evolving global market. A key principle of our compensation philosophy is to 
provide a competitive compensation structure that will attract, motivate, and retain highly qualified senior executives. 

The Company periodically benchmarks its executive compensation program and the compensation offered to executive directors against 
peer companies, and it monitors compensation levels and trends in the market. The Committee strives to develop a compensation peer 
group that best reflects all aspects of CNH Industrial’s business and considers, among other things, public listing, industry practices, geographic 
reach, and revenue proximity. 

Due to the variety of industries in which we compete and other factors, our Company has few direct business competitors, which makes 
it difficult to create a representative compensation peer group based on industry, revenues, or market capitalization alone. Additionally, 
notwithstanding CNH Industrial N.V. being a European headquartered Company, evaluation against peer companies incorporated in only 
the European geographic region is inappropriately restrictive given the Company’s strong commercial presence in the United States, where 
most of our direct competitors are based (six out of the nine companies listed in the table below). Accordingly, the compensation peer group 
for the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) includes a blend of U.S. S&P 500 industrial and non-U.S. global industrial companies, targeting an 
overall median revenue size comparable to CNH Industrial N.V. 

Given our extensive worldwide presence, the balance of both U.S. and European peers provides meaningful comparisons to the relevant 
talent market for our executives and supports our need to compete globally for top talent.

The nine companies asterisked, of which six are U.S. based, represent principal competitors in our businesses’ industries which we also 
compare ourselves to in terms of financial and operational performance.

With the completion of the acquisition of Navistar by Traton in 2021, Navistar was removed from the compensation peer group. Our 
compensation peer group is utilized to benchmark targeted median pay levels and peer pay practices. 

For the benchmark comparison for the Chair, a customized market review was done given the above compensation peer group has few 
peers who have a comparable Chair only role.

service for security.

Consistent with the Company’s performance, variable 
pay was earned by the CEO. See the specific short-
term variable section below (page 121) on details of 
goals achieved and payout earned.

The Chair does not participate in the short-term 
incentive plan.

The 2021-2023 performance cycle grant was made 
to the Chair in December 2020 and the CEO’s grants 
were made upon his hire date on January 4, 2021.   
No shares vested in 2021

In the specific section below (page 123) on 
Long-Term Incentives (LTI), the equitable adjustment 
on unvested awards due to the impact of the 
Demerger on the underlying shares of the awards 
is shown for both the CEO’s and Chair’s awards. 
The 3-year performance goals for the PSUs will be 
restated to reflect the changed capital structure for 
Years 2022 and 2023.

All equity awards granted have performance 
conditions, the PSUs based on company performance 
metrics and targets and the RSUs based on individual 
performance as assessed by the Non-Executive 
Directors of the Board.

Benefits for CEO and Chair are in-line with the 
Remuneration Policy. The CEO’s non-compete and 
non-solicitation period is 12 months to align with the 
limit of his severance protection.  

This is a deviation from the periods mentioned in 
the Remuneration Policy which specified a non-
competition and a non-solicitation period of two 
years. The deviation was accepted in line with section 
9 of the Remuneration Policy to offer a competitive 
package, as the severance protection was less than he 
had, and the Policy’s restrictive covenants were more 
punitive than he had with his former employer.

Benefits for our CEO and Chair are consistent with 
the Remuneration Policy.

The CEO has an annual limit of 175 flight hours of 
private aircraft usage, provided as a taxable benefit to 
him. His 2021 usage was within this limit.

The limited usage falls within the Remuneration 
Policy’s customary fringe benefits consistent with 
competitive offerings of appropriate peer group.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSREMUNERATION REPORTSummary of 2021 executive compensation actions
The Executive Directors’ 2021 compensation was consistent with key principles of our remuneration policy, competitively set compared to 
the relevant benchmarks and structured to reinforce our pay for performance compensation philosophy. The following charts summarize 
the 2021 compensation actions for additional transparency, context, and reasoning.

2021 PAY ACTIONS

SCOTT W. WINE, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Target Compensation

  Both fixed and target variable elements of compensation were positioned in the upper percentile of the compensation peer 
group to be competitive with his compensation at his prior employer and required to attract a high caliber CEO to lead the 
Company.

  Per the CEO’s employment agreement, no changes in target compensation are expected through 2025, five years from hire.

Sign-on Incentives

  Signing incentives covering his forfeited variable pay awards from his prior employer: 

	 A one-time cash payment of $1.573MM in 2021 covered his forfeited 2020 bonus.

	 A three annual installment cash award totaling $7.578MM covers his forfeited long-term awards not covered under the 

CNH Industrial 2021-2023 LTI awards. The first installment of $4.248MM was paid in January 2022.

Short-Term Incentive (STI)

  The CEO’s target bonus is 200% of his base salary of $1,700,000 and maximum is 2 times target or 400% of base salary. 

  Per the Company Bonus Plan (CBP) design and the predetermined goals, the overall company performance achieved in 2021 
was 187%. Considering the difficulty in forecasting the extent of the market demand recovery when the 2021 targets were 
set, the CEO proposed, and the Committee agreed to reduce the CEO’s bonus to 150% of target. The 2021 performance 
bonus to be paid in 2022 is $5.1MM.  

  Details on the plan are provided on the short-term incentive section of this report.

  Consistent with the long-term incentive plan presented to shareholders in 2020, the 2021 award was valued at three times the 
targeted annual long-term incentive (“LTI”) value to fill the competitive gap resulting from forfeited prior employer’s awards. 
Subsequent annual rolling grants will be valued at the targeted annual LTI value.  

	 Per the approved plan, 75% are linked to company performance and 25% linked to individual performance as assessed by 

the Non-Executive Directors.  

Long-Term Incentive (LTI)

	 The Company performance share units (PSUs) are capped at 200% of target and RSUs capped at 100% of target.

	 The CEO’s grants were effective upon his hire date. No vesting occurred in 2021.  

	 For the PSUs, the first-year results of the 3-year performance period (2021-2023) are tracking above target achievement 

of the goals. The final payout is determined only at the end of the vesting period, based on the 3-year cumulative Adjusted 
EPS, the 3-year average Industrial Return on Invested Capital, and with a downward/upward multiplier of +/- 25% (but still 
capped at 200% of target) based on 3-year cumulative relative TSR.

Share ownership guidelines

  CNH Industrial’s share ownership guidelines require Executive Directors to acquire CNHI common shares with a value of 
5-times base salary within five years of appointment to the Board. Mr. Wine purchased 200,000 shares on September 15, 
2021, representing 2.29 times his base salary as of the end of 2021.

2021 PAY ACTIONS

SUZANNE HEYWOOD, CHAIR

  Target compensation was positioned at median of the competitive benchmark for a Chair only role, which required comparing 

Target Compensation

beyond our compensation peer group.

  No change in target compensation is expected for 2022.

Short-Term Incentive (STI)

  The Chair does not participate in the short-term incentive plan.

  The Chair participates in the 2021-2023 LTI plan 

	 Per the approved plan, 75% are linked to company performance and 25% linked to individual performance as assessed by 

Long-Term Incentive (LTI)

the Non-Executive Directors.  

	 The Chair’s LTI grant was made on December 12, 2020, as disclosed in last year’s report. No vesting occurred during 

2021.

Share ownership guidelines

  The Chair has met the requirement to own shares representing 5x her base salary per the CNH Industrial share ownership 

guidelines described above.

18,673,133

Notes:
(1)  Target  was  200%  and  maximum  400%  of  base  salary.  The  Committee  exercised  negative  discretion  to  cap  the  2021  STI  bonus  payment  at  150%  of  the  CEO’s  target  payout, 

considering the much stronger actual market demand than anticipated when targets were set in early 2021. The $5.1 million payout represents 75% of maximum bonus. 

(2)  The  2021  LTI  value  reflects  retention-based  Restricted  Share  Units  (RSUs)  on  the  grant  date  and  Company  performance-based  Performance  Share  Units  (PSUs)  when  vested, 
consistent with the realized equity award valuation used by corporate governance advisory firms. In 2021, 2,269,000 PSUs were granted but none vested. 756,000 RSU awards 
were granted upon hire date, valued at $11.898/share unit. 

(3)  This amount is the sign-on incentive to offset the bonus compensation forfeited from Mr. Wine’s prior employer. In addition, a cash sign-on incentive in the amount of $7.578 million, 
payable in three annual installments, was awarded to Mr. Wine to offset forfeited equity awards. The first installment of $4.248 million was paid in January 2022. There is no risk of 
forfeiture except for voluntary termination or termination by the Company for cause. 

(4)  Not  included  in  the  total  realized  compensation  are  the  Company  provided  fringe  benefits  and  pension  or  similar  benefits,  which  are  included  in  the  Summary  Remuneration 

table.

Notes:
(1)  The  2021  LTI  value  reflects  retention-based  Restricted  Share  Units  (RSUs)  when  granted  and  Company  performance-based  Performance  Share  Units  (PSUs)  when  vested, 

consistent with the realized equity award valuation used by corporate governance advisory firms. In 2021, no PSUs vested and no RSU awards were granted.   

(2)  Not included in the total realized compensation are the Company pension or similar benefits, which is included in the Summary Remuneration table.  

In accordance with the Dutch Corporate Governance Code, the Committee discussed with the CEO and the Chair their respective 2021 
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.

In line with the guidance under the DCGC, the CEO Pay ratio and trend is disclosed in the annual Remuneration 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  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.

Notes: 
(1)  The compensation is as reported in the Summary Remuneration table. The CEO, hired effective 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. 

(2)  For 2020, data incorporates the compensation of the former CEO and the Acting CEO, as was reported in the Summary Remuneration table. 
(3)  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. 

(4)  For 2018, a targeted full year compensation is shown for year-over-year comparison. 
(5)  For 2017, CEO compensation included the accounting value of equity awards, $2.9 million, as reported in the Summary Remuneration table in the 2017 Remuneration Report. The 
amount represented the net impact of the cancellation of the prior Company performance share awards covering the 2014-2018 performance period and the granting of a new 
award for the 2017-2019 performance period. 

(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. The disclosure of the personnel costs and headcount can be referenced in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Annual Report, found on page 168.

In conclusion, the 2021 results show a strong recovery performance, even exceeding pre-pandemic levels. The CEO trend reflects the highly 
competitive compensation offer needed to attract an experienced and proven candidate into the permanent CEO role.

2021 Remuneration of the Executive Directors
The following is intended to expand on the general implementation of the Remuneration Policy in 2021 and provide additional context for 
understanding the actual compensation paid in 2021.

Base Salary
The base salary for the Executive Directors takes into consideration the executive’s skills, scope of job responsibilities, experience, and 
competitive market, and compensation peer group pay comparisons. 

For 2021, Mr. Wine’s base salary was $1,700,000. In determining Mr. Wine’s salary, the Committee considered factors such as the importance 
of creating stability in the C-suite, leadership, development of people and new culture, prior experience and potential at CNH Industrial. 
The base salary is positioned in the upper percentile of our compensation peer group, as required to attract the high caliber candidate for 
the CEO role. The CEO’s employment agreement stipulates that his compensation terms (including base salary, annual bonus and long-term 
incentive opportunities) are not expected to be subject to change for the period from 2021 through 2025.

For the Chair, based on compensation benchmarking which revealed a competitive gap, the Chair’s salary was increased effective January 1, 
2021, to $500,000 annually.

No increases in base salary are planned for either Executive Director in 2022.

Variable Pay
The  variable  components  of  our  Executive  Directors’  remuneration,  both  the  short-  and  the  long-term  incentives,  where  applicable, 
demonstrate  our  commitment  to  shareholders  and  long-term  value  creation  by  using  metrics  that  align  with  our  business  strategy  of 
delivering exceptional operating performance and shareholder returns.

Eligible variable compensation of our Executive Directors is contingent on the achievement of pre-established, challenging financial and other 
designated performance objectives.

Scenario analyses are carried out annually to examine the relationship between the performance criteria chosen and the possible outcomes 
of variable remuneration of the Executive Directors. Such analyses were carried out for the 2021 financial year and the Company found a 
strong link between remuneration and performance and concluded that the chosen performance criteria support the Company’s strategic 
objectives and are appropriate under both the short-term and long-term incentive components, where applicable, of total remuneration.

Short-Term Incentives
The CEO participates in the annual Company Bonus Plan; whereas, the Chair does not. 

2021 Company Bonus Plan and 2022 Company Bonus Plan Outlook
The Compensation Committee approved the 2021 Company Bonus Plan design which included financial measures of consolidated revenues 
at constant currency, consolidated Adjusted EBIT margin %, cash conversion ratio %, and two ESG measures: CO2 Emissions and Accident 
Frequency Rate, in line with market practices.

The table below shows the metrics and predetermined goals:

	 The target incentive for the CEO’s annual bonus program is 200% of base salary, linked to approved targets each year. From the initial 
assumptions  set  in  February  2021,  the  performance  goals  were  increased  in  April  2021  for  consolidated  revenues  and  consolidated 
Adjusted EBIT margin %, given a stronger outlook in the first forecast update and providing stretch objectives consistent with the updated 
outlook.

	 To earn any incentive by metric, results must be above the threshold performance goal established, with an additional hurdle of achieving 
at least 70% of the Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin % for any payout. Achieving threshold performance earns 30% of target incentive 
or 60% of base salary.

	 Maximum payout is 200% of target incentive or 400% of base salary.

	 No individual performance adjustment factor applies to the CEO’s annual bonus.

Definitions of Metrics
	 Consolidated Revenues $M (@CC): is Consolidated Revenues at constant currency.

	 Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin: is computed by dividing consolidated Adjusted EBIT by Consolidated Revenues.

	 Cash Conversion Ratio: is the Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities divided by Adjusted Net Income.

	 CO2 Emissions % reduction (from 2014 levels): CO2 emissions reduction vs 2014 is measured as percentage change in tons of CO2 emissions 
per hours of production in the manufacturing processes.

	 Accident Frequency Rate (annual goal): is the number of injuries (work-related and non-work related, resulting in more than 3 days of 
absence) divided by the number of hours worked multiplied by 100,000.

(1)  Threshold,  Target,  and  Maximum  goals  were  all  increased  from  the  2021  budget  goals  disclosed  in  the  2020  report  to  reflect  the  earlier  and  fuller  COVID-19  recovery  being 
evidenced in the first forecast. The original budget target for consolidated adjusted EBIT Margin %, which is weighted 40%, has become the threshold achievement, stretching the 
achievement goals throughout the entire payout range from threshold to maximum.

Per the Company Bonus Plan (CBP) design and the predetermined goals, the overall company performance achieved in 2021 was 187%. 
Considering the difficulty in forecasting the extent of the market demand recovery when the 2021 targets were set, the CEO proposed, 
and the Committee agreed to reduce the CEO’s bonus to 150% of target. The 2021 performance bonus to be paid in 2022 is $5.1 million. 

Background on the 2021 Results
Between preparing for the Demerger, working toward closing and integrating our Raven Industries and Samperiana Group acquisitions, and 
navigating an extremely challenging supply chain situation, our leaders and employees’ determination and ingenuity repeatedly overcame 
every hurdle to deliver for our customers and dealers. The results can be summarized with one outstanding fact: our 2021 full year Adjusted 
Diluted EPS of $1.35 exceeds any full year Adjusted Diluted EPS in the Company’s history. 

The year had much more good news. Buoyed by healthy markets and positive pricing, we drove strong sales growth across our operating 
regions and segments and made substantial gains in our sustainability commitments.

	 Consolidated Revenues came in at $33.4 billion ($32.8 billion at constant currency) versus $26.0 billion in 2020 and $28.1 billion in 2019, 
a historical level and overachievement (at constant currency) close to the upper performance limit for maximum payout.

	 Consolidated Adjusted EBIT Margin % of 8.0% compares to 3.4% in 2020 and 6.7% in 2019. The Adjusted EBIT Margin % achievement 
was above the target which was increased in April due to more positive outlook from original budget assumptions.

	 The Cash Conversion Ratio %, which is the ratio of Free Cash Flow over Adjusted Net Income, for 2021 was 93.1%, which exceeded the 
2021 target and actual 2020 and 2019.

	 For our two ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) goals that are linked to the annual Company Bonus Plan, CO2 
Emissions % and Accident Frequency Rate, the stretch targets for 2021 were achieved. For the CO2 Emissions % reduction metric, the 
result was an overachievement close to the upper performance limit for maximum payout. These ESG metrics results required a focused 
commitment and an ingrained culture of care for our environment and our people. 

These results faced supply chain disruptions all year and intensified in the fourth quarter, which dampened overall shipments, especially 
in Europe. The industry-wide shortage in semiconductors and other core components is unprecedented, but the company was able to 
minimize its impact on our business and our customers. Throughout the challenges and successes, we prioritized our employees’ health 
and safety. Additionally, we strove to ensure a working environment that fostered collaboration, innovation, and tremendous productivity 
to bring our customers the absolute best. Our employees remained focused to deliver our commitments while meticulously preparing for 
the Demerger and exciting future ahead.

Long-Term Incentives
2021-2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan
The  new  2021-2023  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  (LTIP)  is  comprised  of  both  a  Company  Performance  component  and  an  Individual 
Performance component. The Executive Directors, Senior Leadership Team, and other key leaders participate in the 2021-2023 LTIP, based 
on eligibility requirements. 

Under this plan, the Executive Directors’ awards consisted of the following:

	 The awards reflect a one-time front-loaded grant for a 3-year performance cycle which is 3-times the targeted annual long-term incentive 
to provide an average annual targeted value over the 3 years, split 75% in PSUs and 25% in RSUs. This helped fill the gap that the CEO had 
leaving his former employer and forfeiting his outstanding equity awards and compete against the CEO package at this prior employer.

	 The front-loaded grant transitions to an annual rolling cycle beginning in 2022, providing a competitive award on an average year basis. 

	 The Performance Share Units (PSUs) cliff vest in February 2024, subject to the achievement of two financial metrics weighted equally and 
adjusted by a range of plus/minus 25% TSR multiplier based on ranking versus a comparator group of industry peers.

	 The Restricted Share Units (RSUs) vest in three equal installments on April 30, 2022, April 30, 2023, and April 30, 2024 and are subject 
to acceptable individual performance and demonstration of Company values, as determined by the Company’s Performance Management 
Process for employees and per the determination of the Non-Executive Directors for the Executive Directors.

All shares received post-vesting must be held for a period of five years from the grant date.

The  Committee  and  the  Board  of  Directors  believes  that  the  equity  awards  are  competitive  in  the  market  and  consistent  with  our 
compensation philosophy. Along with the share ownership and share retention requirements in place for the Executive Directors, the plan 
design links the Executive Directors’ compensation opportunity to increasing shareholder value, which is core to our “pay for performance” 
compensation philosophy.

Details on the 2021-2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan
Executive Directors, our Senior Leadership Team, and other key executives participate in the Company Long-Term Incentive Plan. The plan 
design includes a change from a front-loaded end-to-end grant cycle to annual rolling grants (a more prevalent market practice). To facilitate 
this change, the plan contains a one-time transition grant of PSUs and RSUs valued at three (3) times the targeted annual LTIP. This transition 
grant allows a competitive LTIP offering on an average annual basis over the three years. The subsequent annual grants will be valued as one 
(1) time targeted annual LTIP value awards, allowing for annual grant and payout opportunity, and will continue to be subject to long-term 
3-year performance periods.

The PSUs will be subject to the achievement of certain performance targets as further described below, while the RSUs will be subject to 
acceptable individual performance and demonstration of Company values. 

	 The  PSU  awards  are  based  on  the  achievement  of  defined  key  performance  indicators  relating  to:  (i)  Average  of  Industrial  Return 
on Invested Capital (“RoIC”) over the plan period, weighted 50% and (ii) Cumulative Adjusted Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) weighted 
50%. The Company’s Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) ranking among a pre-selected comparator group at the end of the three-year 
performance period will act as downward/upward multiplier that can adjust the award from 0.75 to 1.25.

  The TSR comparator group consists of the following companies: AB Volvo, AGCO Corporation, Caterpillar Inc., Cummins Inc., Deere & 
Company, Komatsu Ltd., Kubota Corporation, PACCAR Inc., and Traton SE. The Committee may adjust the TSR comparator group in 
the event of any merger, combination or other event affecting the comparator companies.

  The PSUs awarded under the 2021-2023 LTIP performance cycle will vest on February 28, 2024, based on the achievement of each target 
of RoIC and EPS determined independently, and as adjusted according to the TSR multiplier. Hence, the total number of common shares 
that will be issued upon vesting of the PSUs will depend on the level of achievement of RoIC and EPS and the downward/upward effect 
of TSR, but subject to an overall maximum of 200% of the target award.

  The following table shows the goals for threshold, target, and outstanding achievement of the two financial metrics, and possible payout 
combinations. With the Demerger, these three-year goals span pre- and post- Demerger periods, i.e., Year 1 pre-Demerger and Years 2 
& 3 post-Demerger. As such, the 3-year goals will need to be adjusted to reflect CNH Industrial’s relative contribution to the goals, 
excluding the relative contribution of the Iveco Group.

The earned payout achieved under the two weighted financial metrics, RoIC and Adjusted EPS, will be adjusted for the TSR percentile 
ranking according to the following chart:

(2) ➞	Maximum overall payout capped at 2 times target.

With this TSR Multiplier scale, there is no additional reward for a relative TSR at median and the design reduces the LTIP payout if relative 
TSR is below median, setting a high-performance bar for maximum payout.

	 For the Executive Directors, the RSUs under the 2021-2023 LTIP award will vest in three annual installments on April 30, 2022, April 30, 
2023, and April 30, 2024, allowing an interim vesting opportunity over the 3-year cycle. There are no other awards vesting in the interim. 
The RSUs require acceptable individual performance and demonstration of Company values which the Compensation Committee will 
assess prior to each respective vesting date and before approving any payout/vesting.

Impact of the Demerger on Equity Awards
The Demerger did not trigger change of control provision which would accelerate the vesting of unvested awards. However, the CNH 
Industrial Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) allows the Committee to adjust outstanding equity awards on an equitable basis in the event of a change 
in the capital structure of the Company, such as the Demerger.

The equitable adjustment, which was done in early 2022, considered post-Demerger share prices of both CNH Industrial and the Iveco 
Group, using a 10-day volume weighted average price. The conversion ratio for CNH Industrial compared the combined CNH Industrial 
and Iveco Group share prices (before the 5:1 Demerger Allotment Ratio) to CNH Industrial’s share price.    

The adjustment factor for CNH Industrial participants was 1.1473, which applies to the Executive Directors. The determination of the 
conversion ratio is shown in the table below:

Post-Employment and Other Benefits
The Executive Directors receive customary pension and other benefits in-line with the Remuneration Policy, which provide basic assurances 
of loss income protection and retirement income.

Pension and Retirement Savings
The CEO participates in the same Company sponsored retirement savings programs available to all U.S. salaried employees. The Chair 
similarly receives retirement savings benefits comparable to UK-based salaried employees, based on the same nationally determined annual 
UK pensionable earnings cap for all UK employees.

Other Benefits
For  our  CEO,  we  offer  customary  perquisites  and  fringe  benefits,  such  as  a  Company  car,  medical  insurance,  accident  insurance,  tax 
preparation  assistance,  relocation,  limited  personal  usage  of  aircraft,  and  retiree  healthcare  benefits.  Furthermore,  in  the  event  of  an 
involuntary termination of employment other than for cause, the CEO is entitled to twelve months’ base salary, while remaining subject to 
restrictive covenants, such as non-competition and non-solicitation for a period of one year.

A provision that outstanding equity awards are subject to prorated vesting in the event of death, disability, or involuntary termination by the 
Company (other than for cause) is applicable for both the CEO and the Chair, a customary practice among our compensation peer group. 

The Chair also receives select UK executive benefits including life, accident, and disability insurance and limited personal usage of car service 
for security. 

Tax Equalization
The CEO, as a function of the global nature of the role in the Company, may be subject to tax on employment income in multiple countries 
and  will  be  subject  to  the  Company’s  tax  equalization  policy  on  all  employment  earnings.  For  the  Chair,  no  tax  equalization  has  been 
applicable. This represents no change from prior years. 

Stock Ownership  
Our Board recognizes the critical role that Executive Director stock ownership has in aligning the interests of management with those of 
shareholders. Accordingly, the Executive Directors are subject to share ownership guidelines which require each Executive Director own 
shares with an aggregate value of at least 5x base salary within five (5) years from the start of their respective assignments. The Committee 
assesses on an annual basis the Executive Directors’ progress toward meeting this objective. As of December 31, 2021, the CEO owned 
200,000 shares, and the Chair owned 129,389 shares. With a share price of $19.43 on December 31, 2021, the fair market value of the at 
year-end 2021 was $3,886,000 and $2,514,028, respectively. The CEO’s shareholdings represent 2.29 times his annual base salary, and the 
Chair’s represents 5.03 times her annual base salary.

In addition, the Executive Directors are subject to a holding period of five years from grant date for all awards granted to them which aligns 
with Dutch Corporate Governance Code (“DCGC”).

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSREMUNERATION REPORTRecoupment of Incentive Compensation (Claw back Policy)
The  Board  is  dedicated  to  maintaining  and  enhancing  a  culture  focused  on  integrity  and  accountability.  The  Recoupment  Policy  in  the 
Company’s Equity Incentive Plan, which defines the terms and conditions for any subsequent long-term incentive program, and the Company 
Bonus Plan, which defines the short-term incentive program, as well as in any executive employment agreements, authorizes the Company 
to recover, or “claw back,” incentive compensation with the ability to retroactively make adjustments if any cash or equity incentive award is 
predicated upon achieving financial results and the financial results are subject to an accounting restatement.

No recoupment of incentive compensation was warranted under any incentive plan during 2021.

Terms of engagement 
Each of the Executive Directors is engaged by the Company pursuant to a written agreement for an indefinite period of time and are employed 
at will, meaning either party can terminate the engagement at any time. The Executive Directors are also appointed by shareholders annually.

Remuneration for Non-Executive Directors
The remuneration 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 current remuneration structure for the Non-Executive Directors is consistent with the 
Remuneration Policy, as shown in the table below.

The Non-Executive Directors receive their annual retainer fee, committee membership, and committee chair fee payments (collectively, 
“Fees”)  only  in  cash.  Remuneration  of  Non-Executive  Directors  is  fixed  and  not  dependent  on  the  Company’s  financial  results.  Non-
Executive Directors are not eligible for variable compensation and do not participate in any Company incentive plans. Consistent with the 
Remuneration Policy, Non-Executive Directors do not receive benefits upon termination of their service as directors.

In 2019, upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, the Board resolved to implement share ownership guidelines for 
the Non-Executive Directors. Applicable to Non-Executive Directors appointed 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 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 the current Non-Executive Directors have met the share ownership requirement except for the newly appointed members, Ms. Catia 
Bastioli and Ms. Åsa Tamsons.

Notes
(1)  In 2020, in support of the Company’s COVID-19 response, all of the Directors, including the Chair, voluntarily waived their entire fees from the start of the new Board year, April 
16, 2020 through the end of December 2020. For the Non-Executive Directors’ quarterly fees for the period October 13, 2020 through January 11, 2021, the prorated amount 
from October through December was waived and the January portion is included in the 2021 fees reported in the table.

(2)  The amount includes the use of transportation (Company car and personal usage of aircraft) and company cost of life and health insurance benefits.
(3)  The 2021 amount represents the bonus approved for the performance year and paid in 2022. The Committee capped the bonus at 150% of target payout, or $5.1 million. No 

bonus was earned for the former CEO for the 2020 performance year.

(4)  The amounts represent the Company’s share-based compensation (SBC) expense under applicable accounting standards relating to grants issued to the Executive Directors under 
2021-2023 LTI plan, assuming payout at target. The company performance awards vest at the end of the 2021-2023 performance period and have a 200% cap. The SBC expense 
assuming maximum payout for the performance share units would be $21.5 million for the CEO and $2.5 million for the Chair, a difference from target payout of $8.5 million and 
$1.0 million respectively for the CEO and the Chair. 

(5)  For  the  current  CEO,  a  cash  sign-on  of  $1,573,133  was  paid  upon  hiring  to  compensate  for  the  forfeited  2020  bonus  from  the  prior  employer.  For  the  former  CEO,  Hubertus 
Mühlhäuser, the 2020 amount includes a payment of 12 months base salary ($1.1 million), a provision for 2020 tax services ($0.3 million) as part of separation terms and conditions, 
and unused paid vacation ($0.1 million), during the former CEO’s active service. For the Acting CEO role, Suzanne Heywood received a one-time lump sum payment of $2.5 million 
for the variable compensation elements of her supplemental remuneration for the additional Acting CEO duties during 2020.

(6)  For the CEO, the 2021 amount includes Company contributions to U.S. Social Security and Medicare, expense recorded for accruing retiree healthcare benefits, and contributions 
for retirement savings to the deferred compensation plan. For the Chair, the amount includes Company contributions into the UK National Insurance for 2020 and 2021 and in 2021 
a contribution for retirement savings. For  the former CEO, the  2020 amount includes Company contributions to U.S.  Social Security and Medicare. All provisions for Company 
match of retirement savings and deferred compensation, and retiree healthcare benefits reported in prior years have been reversed as the vesting period was not met at time of 
separation of employment. For the other Directors, the amount includes Company contributions into the UK National Insurance.

(7)  Ratio of the percentage of fixed pay elements over the percentage of variable pay elements. Variable elements include variable incentives, extraordinary items, and the pension 

benefits derived from variable remuneration and extraordinary items. The Non-Executive Directors have no variable compensation elements, so this ratio is not applicable.

(8)  The new CEO was hired on January 4, 2021 and appointed by shareholders as an Executive Director of the Board at the April 15, 2021 AGM. The remuneration shown in the 

above Summary Remuneration table reflects his full year compensation including the period prior to the shareholders’ approval.  

(9)  The 2020 remuneration elements of the former CEO, Hubertus Mühlhäuser, reflect pay and benefits through his date of resignation, March 22, 2020. The resignation benefits are 

included in Extraordinary Items as disclosed in footnote # 4 above.

(10) Effective January 1, 2021, the new annual base salary of $500,000 would be paid in £ using the prior year average exchange rate, which for 2020 was US$ 1.2837/1 £.
(11)  In 2020, Suzanne Heywood voluntarily waived all her Chair fees from April 16, 2020 through December 31, 2020.
(12) For the additional Acting CEO duties in 2020, an annual supplement of $1.0 million was paid in monthly installments from the effective date of the Acting CEO role, March 23, 2020 

through the end of the December 31, 2020. For three full monthly supplements, 50% was waived by Suzanne Heywood in solidarity of the Company’s COVID-19 response.

BOARD REPORTREPORT ON OPERATIONSREMUNERATION REPORTIndependence of Compensation Consultant
The Committee’s charter provides that the Committee has sole authority to engage the services of independent compensation external 
advisors. While the Committee did not engage independent compensation external advisors in 2021, the Committee was occasionally 
advised by representatives of Willis Towers Watson PLC, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer LLP, and Georgeson on executive compensation 
matters. The Committee found that the information provided by such advisors provided important perspectives about market practices for 
executive compensation, the levels and structure of the compensation program, and compensation governance. During 2021, the foregoing 
advisors performed services such as:

	 Provided regulatory education to the Committee 

	 Provided benchmark on peer Company analysis and selection

	 Provided information and advice relating to executive compensation matters 

During 2021 the Committee reviewed the factors influencing independence and determined that no conflict of interest exists with respect 
to Willis Towers Watson, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Georgeson.

	 If a shareholder holds common shares directly in his or her own name in the United States, such shares are held in registered form in an 
account at Computershare Trust Company, N.A., our transfer agent; 

	 Interests in our common shares that are traded on the NYSE are held through the book-entry system provided by The Depository Trust 
Company (“DTC”) and are registered in the register of shareholders in the name of Cede & Co., as DTC’s nominee. Interests in the 
common shares traded on the Euronext Milan are held through Monte Titoli S.p.A., the Italian central clearing and settlement system, as 
a participant in DTC; 

	 Special voting shares and the associated common shares are registered in the books and records of the Company’s transfer agents in 
the United States and Italy. As noted above, the special voting shares and associated common shares are not tradable. The associated 
common shares are only tradable after they are de-registered from the loyalty voting program at which time the associated special voting 
shares are surrendered to the Company. There is no possibility to hold a special voting share without holding an associated common 
share.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS AND OUTLOOK

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

CNH Industrial has evaluated subsequent events through March 1, 2022, which is the date the financial statements were authorized for 
issuance, and identified the following:

	 Effective January 1, 2022, the Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. by way of a legal statutory demerger to 
Iveco Group N.V. and Iveco Group became a public listed company independent from CNH Industrial with its common shares trading on 
Euronext Milan, a regulated market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.

	 On January 4, 2022 Fitch Ratings raised its Long-Term Issuer Default Rating 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 Issuer Default Ratings and senior unsecured debt ratings of CNH Industrial Capital LLC 
(CNHI Capital) and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. (CNH Canada) to ‘BBB+’ from ‘BBB-’. The Rating Outlook is Stable. Fitch has 
also upgraded CNHI Capital’s Short-Term IDR and commercial paper (CP) ratings to ‘F2’ from ‘F3’.

	 On February 22, 2022, CNH Industrial N.V. held an Investors Day, presenting its Strategic Business Plan for the years 2022 to 2024, 
and announcing its formal commitment to Science-Based Target initiatives (SBTi) as a natural continuation of CNH Industrial’s sustained 
efforts on climate and the environment.

	 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. Limited and CNH Industrial 
Capital Canada Ltd. to Baa2 from Baa3. The Rating Outlook is stable.

	 In order to optimize the capital structure of the Company and to meet the obligations arising from the Company’s equity incentive plans, 
on March 1, 2022, CNH Industrial announced a share buy-back program (the “Program”) up to €100 million, within the framework 
of the authorization granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 15, 2021, whereby the Board is vested with the authority to 
purchase up to 10% of the Company’s issued common shares during the eighteen-month period following such Shareholders’ Meeting. 
The purchases will be carried out on the Italian Stock Exchange (Euronext Milan) and on multilateral trading facilities (MTFs), in compliance 
with applicable rules and regulations, subject to a maximum price per common share equal to the average of the highest price on each of 
the five trading days prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the Euronext Milan plus 10% (maximum price) 
and to a minimum price per common share equal to the average of the lowest price on each of the five trading days prior to the date of 
acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the Euronext Milan minus 10% (minimum price). The actual timing, number and value of 
common shares repurchased under the Program will depend on various factors, including market conditions, general business conditions, 
and compliance with applicable legal requirements. The Program does not oblige the Company to repurchase any common shares, and 
it may be suspended, discontinued, or modified upwards at any time, for any reason and without previous notice, in accordance with 
applicable laws and regulations.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED  
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

CNH Industrial N.V. (the “Company” and, collectively with its subsidiaries, “CNH Industrial” or the “CNH Industrial Group” or the “Group”) 
is the company formed as a result of the business combination transaction (the “Merger”), completed on September 29, 2013, between 
Fiat Industrial S.p.A. (“Fiat Industrial” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Fiat Industrial Group”) and its majority owned subsidiary CNH 
Global N.V. (“CNH Global”). CNH Industrial N.V. is incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands. CNH Industrial N.V. has its corporate 
seat in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and its principal office in London, England, United Kingdom. Until December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial 
was a leading company in the capital goods sector that, through its various businesses, designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment, 
construction equipment, trucks, commercial vehicles, buses and specialty vehicles, in addition to a broad portfolio of powertrain applications 
(see  Note  28  “Segment  reporting”).  In  addition,  CNH  Industrial’s  Financial  Services  segment  offers  an  array  of  financial  products  and 
services, including retail financing for the purchase or lease of new and used CNH Industrial and other manufacturers’ products and other 
retail financing programs and wholesale financing to dealers. 

Until December 31, 2021, before the Demerger described below, CNH Industrial had five reportable segments: Agriculture, Construction, 
Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, Powertrain and Financial Services. CNH Industrial’s worldwide agricultural equipment, construction 
equipment, commercial and specialty vehicles, powertrain operations, as well as corporate functions, are collectively referred to as “Industrial 
Activities”. 

Following the Demerger, effective January 1, 2022, CNH Industrial is a leading global capital goods company engaged in the design, production, 
marketing, sale, and financing of agricultural and construction equipment.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of preparation
These Consolidated Financial Statements together with the notes thereto of CNH Industrial at December 31, 2021 were authorized for 
issuance by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2022 and have been prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting 
Standards (“IFRS”) as adopted by the European Union (“EU-IFRS”) and with Part 9 of Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. The designation 
“IFRS” also includes International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), as well as all interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”).

The financial statements are prepared under the historical cost convention, modified as required for the measurement of certain financial 
instruments, as well as on a going concern basis. Despite operating in a continuously difficult economic and financial environment, negatively 
impacted by the continuing spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Group’s assessment is that no material uncertainties (as defined in 
paragraph 25 of IAS 1) exist about its ability to continue as a going concern, in view also of the measures already undertaken by the Group 
to preserve cash and contain costs, and to preserve its industrial and financial flexibility, and its strong liquidity position. 

These Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared using the U.S. dollar as the presentation currency. The functional currency of the 
parent company (CNH Industrial N.V.) is the euro. The U.S. dollar presentation currency was elected to be used in order to improve 
comparability with main competitors, mainly in the agriculture and construction businesses, and to provide more meaningful information to 
U.S. investors.

Iveco Group Business Spin-off and Discontinued Operations
During 2021, CNH Industrial completed a strategic project to separate the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain 
business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business”) from the Agriculture business, the Construction 
business, and the related Financial Services business.

The Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. in accordance with Section 2:334a (3) of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk 
Wetboek) by way of a legal statutory demerger ( juridische afsplitsing) to Iveco Group N.V. (the “Demerger”), effective January 1, 2022.

144

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESThe principal phases leading up to completion of the Demerger were as follows:

	 On September 3, 2019, CNH Industrial announced at its Capital Markets Day event the intended Demerger.

	 On December 23, 2021, an Extraordinary General Meeting of CNH Industrial shareholders was held to approve the Demerger of Iveco 
Group Business.

	 On December 27, 2021, Borsa Italiana has admitted Iveco Group N.V. common shares to listing on Euronext Milan.

	 Following receipt of the above authorizations, the deed of Demerger was executed on December 31, 2021, with effectiveness of the 
Demerger on January 1, 2022.

	 On January 3, 2022 (the “First Trading Date”) Iveco Group common shares began trading on the regulated market Euronext Milan, under 
the ticker symbol ‘IVG’. As a result of the Demerger, each holder of CNH Industrial common shares (and special voting shares as the case 
may be) received one Iveco Group share for every five CNH Industrial common shares (or special voting share as the case may be) held 
at close of business on the record date for allocation (January 4, 2022). Since January 3, 2022, CNH Industrial N.V. and Iveco Group N.V. 
have been quoted separately on the regulated markets and operate as independent listed companies, each with its own management and 
Board of Directors.

As the transaction took effect on January 1, 2022, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 relate to 
CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger. Moreover, in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, as the 
Demerger became highly probable in December, the Iveco Group Business is classified and presented as Discontinued Operations in these 
consolidated financial statements. That presentation has resulted in the following:

	 for  both  years  2021  and  2020  (the  latter  presented  for  comparative  purposes),  the  operating  results  of  Iveco  Group  Business  are 
presented in a single line item “Profit/(Loss) from Discontinued Operations, net of tax” within the Consolidated Income Statement; 

	 all  assets  and  liabilities  (excluding  equity)  relating  to  Iveco  Group  Business  at  December  31,  2021  are  reclassified  as  Assets  held  for 
distribution and Liabilities held for distribution, respectively, within the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position;

	 for both years 2021 and 2020 (the latter presented for comparative purposes), the cash flows arising from the Iveco Group Business 
(as Discontinued Operations) are presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as separate line items under cash flows from 
operating, investing and financing activities.

For additional detail of items presented under Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income, Financial Position and 
Cash Flows, refer to the section “Scope of Consolidation - Discontinued Operations - Iveco Group Business”.

Additionally, as the Demerger is a “business combination involving entities or businesses under common control”, it is outside the scope of 
application of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations and IFRIC 17- Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners. Accordingly, in the 2022 consolidated 
financial  statements  for  CNH  Industrial  and  Iveco  Group,  the  opening  position  for  items  in  the  statement  of  financial  position  will  be 
equivalent to the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger.

COVID-19 effects, actions, and use of accounting estimates and management’s assumptions 
The COVID-19 pandemic and the related actions of governments and other authorities to contain COVID-19 spread continue to affect 
CNH Industrial’s business, results and cash flow. 

Governments  in  many  countries  where  the  Company  operates,  designated  part  of  our  businesses  as  essential  critical  infrastructure 
businesses. This designation allows CNH Industrial to operate in support of its dealers and customers to the extent possible. CNH Industrial 
also continues to prioritize the health, safety and well-being of its employees.

The Company remains cautious about future impacts on CNH Industrial’s end-markets and business operations of restrictions on social 
interactions  and  business  operations  to  limit  the  resurgence  of  the  pandemic.  CNH  Industrial  is  closely  monitoring  the  impact  of  the 
COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, its employees and the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The main impacts of the pandemic on significant accounting matters are disclosed below. 

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of income, expenses, assets, liabilities, accumulated other comprehensive income and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent 
liabilities, as further described in the following paragraph “Use of estimates”. 

Due  to  the  currently  unforeseeable  global  consequences  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  these  estimates  and  assumptions  are  subject  to 
increased uncertainty. Actual results could differ materially from the estimates and assumptions used in preparation of the financial statements. 
If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of the Consolidated Financial 
Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the period in 
which the circumstances change.  

145

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESThese Consolidated Financial Statements include all updates of estimates and assumptions considered necessary by management to fairly 
state the Group’s results of operations, financial position and cash flows. Updated estimates and assumptions to incorporate the expected 
consequences  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic  were  also  included  in  the  analysis  of  the  recoverability  and  collectability  of  financial  assets, 
especially of receivables from financing activities. Finally, with regard to hedge accounting, estimates were updated concerning whether 
forecast transactions can still be assumed to be highly likely to occur.

CNH Industrial is exposed to operational financial risks such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, mainly relating to exchange rates and 
interest rates. For a detailed description of this information see the “Risk management and Control System” section of the Board Report, 
Note 17 “Current receivables and Other current financial assets” and Note 30 “Information on financial risks”.

Climate related matters
CNH Industrial has an established risk management process that includes the assessment and monitoring of climate-related risk. These 
assessments are used by the Company to identify not only risk exposure, but also opportunities, on which the Company’s climate change 
strategy is based. The identification of these climate-related risks and opportunities, along with the analysis of sustainability macrotrends, led 
to the definition of a decarbonization strategy, which in turn has been incorporated within, and regularly influences, the Company’s Strategic 
Business Plan. To further address the potential impacts of climate change, CNH Industrial has implemented relevant projects and a number 
of other specific climate-related topics and has defined long-term strategic targets (e.g., CO2 emissions reduction in manufacturing plants, 
reduction of CO2 emissions in logistics processes, share of product portfolio available with natural gas powertrains).
There has been increasing interest in how climate change will impact the Group’s business. With reference to the climate related matters, a 
critical review was undertaken, and a focused analysis performed to identify, and consequently manage, the principal risks and uncertainties 
to which the Group is exposed. The most significant area of effort will be the management of water scarcity and waste and the reducing 
energy and GHG emissions in the supply chain area. CNH Industrial recognizes the importance of climate change risk and promotes a 
responsible use of resources and a reduction of the environmental impact of production to mitigate climate change. In this context, CNH 
Industrial Group has adopted an environmental policy that applies to all company locations and divisions and has set up a structure dedicated 
to control environmental pollution, waste, and water disposal as well as emission reduction. 

In particular, considering the financial statements information are presented through historical values which, by their nature, do not fully 
capture future events, all significant assumptions and estimates underlying the preparation of the following items were subject to an analysis 
in order to identify and address the new uncertainties related to climate changes which could affect the business: going concern, inventory 
management, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, brands, intangible assets with a finite life, tax reliefs, revenue recognition, provisions 
and  onerous  contracts.  The  analysis  conducted  were  based  on  the  Group  strategy  outlined  in  the  context  of  the  global  supply  chain 
environmental targets and did not highlight any critical situations that cannot be attributable to and addressed in the ordinary course of the 
business.

Global Supply Chain Disruptions
On October 13, 2021, CNH Industrial announced the temporary closure of several of its European agricultural, commercial vehicle and 
powertrain manufacturing facilities in response to ongoing disruptions to the procurement environment and shortages of core components, 
especially semiconductors. The global supply chain still shows increasing input costs and logistics pressures, with ongoing disruptions to the 
procurement environment forcing repeated reviews of production schedules. Global supply chain represented the main challenge for the 
operations in the year, with multiple bottlenecks resulting in increased raw material prices, intermittent subcomponent availability, notably 
for semiconductors, and increased transportation costs. 

Format of the financial statements
CNH Industrial presents an income statement using a classification based on the function of expenses (otherwise known as the “cost of 
sales” method), rather than one based on their nature, as this is believed to provide information that is more relevant. 

For  the  statement  of  financial  position,  a  mixed  format  has  been  selected  to  present  current  and  non-current  assets  and  liabilities,  as 
permitted by IAS 1 –  Presentation of Financial Statements. Legal entities carrying out industrial activities and those carrying out financial 
services are both consolidated in the Group’s financial statements. The investment portfolios of Financial Services are included in current 
assets, as the investments will be realized in their normal operating cycle. Financial Services, though, obtains funds only partially from the 
market: the remainder is obtained from CNH Industrial N.V. through its treasury legal entities (included in Industrial Activities), which lend 
funds both to Industrial Activities and to Financial Services legal entities as the need arises. This Financial Services structure within the Group 
means that any attempt to separate current and non-current liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position is not meaningful. 
Disclosure of the due dates of liabilities is however provided in the notes.

The statement of cash flows is presented using the indirect method. 

146

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESBasis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities over which the Group has control. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns 
from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. 

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances 
in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

	 the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee;

	 rights arising from other contractual arrangements;

	 the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights.

The Group re-assesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of 
the three elements of control. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements from the date 
that control commences until the date that control ceases. Non-controlling interests in the net assets of consolidated subsidiaries and non-
controlling interests in the profit or loss of consolidated subsidiaries are presented separately from the interests of the owners of the parent 
in the consolidated statement of financial position and income statement respectively. Losses applicable to non-controlling interests which 
exceed the non-controlling interests in the subsidiary’s equity are debited to non-controlling interests. 

Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. 
The carrying amounts of the equity attributable to owners of the parent and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes 
in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the book value of the non-controlling interests and the fair value of the 
relevant consideration is recognized directly in the equity attributable to the owners of the parent.

If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, a gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss and is calculated as the difference between (i) the 
aggregate of the fair value of the relevant consideration and the fair value of any retained interest and (ii) the carrying amount of the assets 
(including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary and any non-controlling interests. Any profits or losses recognized in other comprehensive 
income in respect of the subsidiary are accounted for as if the subsidiary had been sold (i.e., are reclassified to profit or loss or transferred 
directly to retained earnings depending on the applicable IFRS).

Subsidiaries that are either dormant or generate a negligible volume of business, are not consolidated. Their impact on the Group’s assets, 
liabilities, financial position and profit/(loss) attributable to the owners of the parent is immaterial.

Joint ventures
A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the 
arrangement. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the 
relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Investments in joint ventures are accounted for using the equity 
method from the date that joint control commences until the date that joint control ceases.

Associates
Associates are enterprises over which the Group has significant influence. As defined in IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, 
significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control 
of those policies. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method from the date that significant influence commences 
until the date that significant influence ceases. When the Group’s share of losses of an associate, if any, exceeds the carrying amount of the 
associate in the Group’s statement of financial position, the carrying amount is reduced to nil and recognition of further losses is discontinued 
except to the extent that the Group has incurred obligations in respect of the associate.

Investments in other companies
Investments in other companies are measured at fair value. Equity investments for which there is no quoted market price in an active market 
and there is insufficient financial information in order to determine fair value are measured at cost as an estimate of fair value, as permitted by 
IFRS 9. The Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’s fair value in other comprehensive income upon 
the initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held to sell. This election is made on an investment-by-investment basis. Dividends 
received from these investments are included in Other income/(expenses) from investments.

147

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESTransactions eliminated on consolidation
All significant intragroup balances and transactions and any unrealized gains and losses arising from intragroup transactions are eliminated in 
preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. Unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions with associates and joint ventures are 
eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in those entities.

Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are recorded at the foreign exchange rate prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and 
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the balance sheet date are translated at the exchange rate prevailing at that date. Exchange 
differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on reporting monetary items at rates different from those at which they were 
initially recorded during the period or in previous financial statements, are recognized in profit or loss. 

Consolidation of foreign entities
All assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated using the exchange rates in effect 
at the balance sheet date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Translation differences resulting 
from the application of this method are classified as equity until the disposal of the investment. Average rates of exchange are used to 
translate the cash flows of foreign subsidiaries in preparing the consolidated statement of cash flows.

The goodwill, assets acquired and liabilities assumed arising from the acquisition of entities with a functional currency other than the U.S. 
dollar are recognized in the functional currency and translated at the exchange rate at the acquisition date. These balances are subsequently 
retranslated at the exchange rate at the balance sheet date.

The Group applies IAS 29 - Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies for its subsidiaries that prepare their financial statements in 
a functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy. According to this standard, non-monetary assets and liabilities not yet translated 
into U.S. dollar at the reporting date are redetermined using a general price index. The financial statements of these subsidiaries are then 
translated at the closing spot rate.

The principal exchange rates used to translate into U.S. dollars the financial statements prepared in currencies other than the U.S. dollar 
were as follows:

Euro
Pound sterling
Swiss franc
Polish zloty
Brazilian real
Canadian dollar
Argentine peso(1)

(1)  From July 1, 2018, Argentina’s economy was considered to be hyperinflationary. After the same date, transactions for entities with the Argentine peso as the functional currency 

were translated using the closing spot rate.

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 Group and the equity interests issued in exchange for control of the acquiree. 
Acquisition-related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred;

	 at the acquisition date, the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed are recognized at their fair value at that date, except for 
deferred tax assets and liabilities, assets and liabilities relating to employee benefit arrangements, liabilities or equity instruments relating 
to share-based payment arrangements of the acquiree or share-based payment arrangements of the Group entered into to replace 
share-based payment arrangements of the acquire, assets (or disposal groups) that are classified as held for sale, which are measured in 
accordance with the relevant standard;

	 goodwill is measured as the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred in the business combination, the amount of any 
non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree (if any) over 
the net of the acquisition-date amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If the net of the acquisition-date 
amounts of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the aggregate of the consideration transferred, the amount of 
any non-controlling interest in the acquiree and the fair value of the acquirer’s previously held interest in the acquiree (if any), the excess 
is recognized immediately in profit or loss as a gain from a bargain purchase;

148

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES	 non-controlling interest is initially measured either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s 
identifiable net assets. The selection of the measurement method is made on a transaction-by-transaction basis;

	 any  contingent  consideration  arrangement  in  the  business  combination  is  measured  at  its  acquisition-date  fair  value  and  included  as 
part  of  the  consideration  transferred  in  the  business  combination  in  order  to  determine  goodwill.  Changes  in  the  fair  value  of  the 
contingent consideration that qualify as measurement period adjustments are recognized retrospectively, with corresponding adjustments 
to goodwill. Measurement period adjustments are adjustments that arise from additional information obtained during the ‘measurement 
period’ (which may not exceed one year from the acquisition date) about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. 
Any changes in fair value after the measurement period are recognized in profit or loss.

When a business combination is achieved in stages, the Group’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured at its acquisition-
date fair value and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in profit or loss. Changes in the equity interest in the acquiree that have been 
recognized in Other comprehensive income in prior reporting periods are reclassified to profit or loss as if the interest had been disposed of. 

If the initial accounting for a business combination is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs, the 
Group reports provisional amounts for the items for which the accounting is incomplete in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Those 
provisional amounts are adjusted during the above-mentioned measurement period to reflect new information obtained about facts and 
circumstances that existed at the acquisition date which, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized at that date. 

Business combinations that took place prior to January 1, 2010 were accounted for in accordance with the version of IFRS 3 effective before 
the 2008 amendments, as permitted by the revised standard.

Fair value measurement
Some of the Group’s assets and liabilities are measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received 
to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

In estimating the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and 
for which sufficient data are available to measure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of 
unobservable inputs. Additional information about fair value, fair value hierarchy, valuation techniques and inputs used in determining the fair 
value of assets and liabilities is provided in Note 18, Note 31 and, where required, in the individual notes relating to the assets and liabilities 
whose fair value were determined.

In addition, fair value measurements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, described as follows, based on the degree to which the 
inputs to the fair value measurements are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety:

	 Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;

	 Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) 
or indirectly (derived from prices) on the market;

	 Level 3 — inputs that are not based on observable market data.

Intangible assets
Goodwill
Goodwill is not amortized, but is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it 
might be impaired. After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses.

Development costs
Development costs for vehicle production project (trucks, buses, agricultural and construction equipment and engines) are recognized as an 
asset if and only if both of the following conditions are met: a) development costs can be measured reliably, and b) the technical feasibility of 
the product, volumes and pricing support the view that the development expenditure will generate future economic benefits. Capitalized 
development costs include all direct and indirect costs that may be directly attributed to the development process. Capitalized development 
costs are amortized on a systematic basis from the start of production of the related product over the product’s estimated average life, as 
follows:

Trucks and buses
Agricultural and construction equipment
Engines

All other development costs are expensed as incurred.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESIntangible assets with indefinite useful lives
Intangible assets with indefinite useful 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, but are tested for 
impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

Other intangible assets
Other purchased and internally-generated intangible assets are recognized as assets in accordance with IAS 38 – Intangible Assets, where 
it is probable that the use of the asset will generate future economic benefits and where the costs of the asset can be determined reliably. 

Such assets are measured at purchase or manufacturing cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, if these 
assets have finite useful lives.

Other intangible assets acquired as part of the acquisition of a business are capitalized separately from goodwill if their fair value can be 
measured reliably.

Property, plant and equipment
Cost
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. 

Subsequent  expenditures  and  the  cost  of  replacing  parts  of  an  asset  are  capitalized  only  if  they  increase  the  future  economic  benefits 
embodied in that asset. All other expenditures are expensed as incurred. When such replacement costs are capitalized, the carrying amount 
of the parts that are replaced is recognized in profit or loss.

Property, plant and equipment also include vehicles sold with a buy-back commitment, which are recognized under the method described 
in the paragraph “Revenue recognition” if the buy-back commitment originates from Commercial and Specialty Vehicles.

Depreciation
Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows:

Buildings
Plant, machinery and equipment
Other assets

Land is not depreciated.

Depreciation rates
2.5% - 10%
4% - 20%
10% - 33%

Lease accounting policy
Lessee accounting
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 Group 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 Group has in place for the future use of the asset. The Group combines lease and non-lease components.

For leases with terms not exceeding twelve months (short-term leases) and for leases of low-value assets, CNH Industrial 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, at the commencement date (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for use), CNH Industrial recognizes a right-of-
use asset, classified within Property, plant and equipment, and a lease liability, classified within Other Debt.

At the commencement date, 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. At the same date, the lease liability is 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 Group’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 Group primarily uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for its lease liabilities. 

150

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESAfter the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is measured at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment 
losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability. The right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis. If the lease 
transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the 
Group will exercise a purchase option, CNH Industrial depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the 
useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Group depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of 
the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. After the commencement date, the lease liability is increased 
to reflect the accretion of interest, recognized within Financial income/(expenses) in the income statement, reduced for the lease payments 
made, and remeasured to reflect any reassessment or lease modifications. 

Before the adoption of IFRS 16, where CNH Industrial entered as lessee in a lease contract classified as finance, assuming substantially all the 
risks and rewards of ownership, assets held under finance lease were recognized as assets of the Group at the lower of fair value or present 
value of the minimum lease payments and depreciated. The corresponding liability to the lessor was included in the financial statement as 
a debt. Where CNH Industrial entered as lessee in a lease contract classified as operating, the lessor retained substantially all the risks and 
rewards of ownership of the asset. Operating lease expenditures were expensed on a straight-line basis over the lease terms. 

Lessor accounting
Lease  contracts  where  CNH  Industrial  acts  as  a  lessor,  can  be  classified  as  either  an  operating  lease  or  finance  lease.  Leases  where  a 
significant portion of the risks and rewards are retained by the lessor are classified as operating leases. Leases that transfer substantially all 
the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset to the lessee are classified as a finance leases.

Where CNH Industrial is the lessor in a finance lease, the future minimum lease payments from lessees are classified as Receivables from 
financing activities. Lease payments are recognized as repayment of the principal, and financial income remunerating the initial investment 
and the services provided. 

Where CNH Industrial is the lessor in an operating lease, income from operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease on a straight-
line basis. Leased assets include vehicles leased to retail customers by the Group’s leasing companies. They are stated at cost and depreciated 
at annual rates of between 20% and 33%.

When leased assets are no longer leased and become held for sale, the Group reclassifies their carrying amount to Inventories.  

Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets (as defined under IAS 23 – 
Borrowing Costs), 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. 

Impairment of assets
The Group reviews, at least annually, the recoverability of the carrying amount of intangible assets (including capitalized development costs) 
and property, plant and equipment, in order to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment 
loss. Goodwill and Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently, if there is an indication 
that an asset may be impaired.

If indicators of impairment are present, the carrying amount of the assets is reduced to its recoverable amount that is the higher of its fair value 
less disposal costs and its value in use. Where it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates 
the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. In assessing its value in use, the pre-tax estimated future cash 
flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money 
and the risks specific to the asset. An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount.

Where a previous impairment loss for assets other than goodwill no longer exists or has decreased, the carrying amount of the asset or 
cash-generating unit is increased up to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but not in excess of the carrying amount that would 
have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately.

Financial instruments
Presentation
Financial instruments held by the Group are presented and measured in the financial statements as described in the following paragraphs.

Investments  and  other  non-current  financial  assets  comprise  investments  in  unconsolidated  companies  and  other  non-current  financial 
assets (securities, and other non-current financial receivables).

151

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESCurrent financial assets include trade receivables, receivables from financing activities (retail financing, dealer financing, lease financing and 
other current loans to third parties), current securities and other current financial assets (which include derivative financial instruments 
stated at fair value as assets), as well as cash and cash equivalents. 

Current securities include short-term or marketable securities which represent temporary investments of available funds and do not satisfy 
the requirements for being classified as cash equivalents.

Financial liabilities refer to debt, which includes asset-backed financing (“ABS”), and derivative liabilities (which include derivative financial 
instruments stated at fair value as liabilities), trade payables and other liabilities.

Measurement
Investments in unconsolidated companies classified as non-current financial assets are accounted for as described in the paragraph “Basis 
of consolidation”.

In accordance with IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments, financial assets are classified as measured at either amortized cost (“AC”), fair value through 
other comprehensive income (“FVTOCI”) or fair value through profit or loss (“FVTPL”), depending on the business model for managing 
such financial assets and the asset’s contractual cash flow characteristics. Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost using 
the effective interest method.

Financial assets and current securities acquired through a regular way purchase are recognized on the basis of the settlement date and, on 
initial recognition, are measured at fair value, including transaction costs. Subsequent measurement depends on the business model for 
managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. 

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows, where those cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest, are 
measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Receivables with maturities of over one year which bear no interest or an 
interest rate significantly lower than market rates are discounted using market rates.

Assets that are held for collection of contractual cash flows and for selling the financial assets, where the asset’s cash flows represents solely 
payments of principal and interests, are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Gains and losses on assets measured 
at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized directly in other comprehensive income until the financial asset is disposed 
of or is determined to be impaired; when the asset is disposed of, the cumulative gains or losses, including those previously recognized in 
other comprehensive income, are reclassified to profit or loss; when the asset is impaired, impairment losses are recognized to profit or loss. 
Interest income from these financial assets is included in financial income. 

As a result of the Group’s business model, trade receivables and receivables from financing activities are subsequently measured at amortized 
cost.

Assessments are made regularly as to whether there is any objective evidence that a financial asset or group of assets may be impaired. If any 
such evidence exists, an impairment loss is included in profit or loss for the period. The recognition of an impairment is based on expected 
credit losses.

Cash and cash equivalents include cash at banks, units in liquidity funds, other money market securities and other cash equivalents. Cash and 
cash equivalents are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Money market securities consist of investments in high quality, short-
term, diversified financial instruments that can generally be liquidated on demand and are measured at FVTPL. Cash at banks and Other 
cash equivalents are measured at amortized cost.

Derivatives  financial  assets  and  liabilities  are  measured  either  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income  (when  in  an  hedging 
relationship) or at fair value through profit or loss.

Financial assets and liabilities hedged by derivative instruments are measured in accordance with hedge accounting principles applicable to 
fair value hedges: gains and losses arising from remeasurement at fair value, due to changes in the respective hedged risk, are recognized in 
profit or loss and are offset by the effective portion of the loss or gain arising from remeasurement at fair value of the hedging instrument.

Derivative financial instruments
Derivative financial instruments are used for hedging purposes, in order to reduce currency, interest rate and market price risks. In accordance 
with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting only when, at the inception of the hedge, there is formal designation 
and documentation of the hedging relationship and the entity’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge, there is 
an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item, credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result 
from the economic relationship, and the hedging ratio in the hedging relationship reflects the actual quantity of the hedging instruments 
and the hedged item. Further details on qualifying criteria are included in Note 18 “Derivative assets and derivative liabilities” and Note 30 
“Information on financial risks”.

152

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESWhen derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting, the following accounting treatment applies:

	 Fair value hedges – where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to changes in fair value of a recognized 
asset or liability that is attributable to a particular risk and could affect profit or loss, the gain or loss from remeasuring the hedging 
instrument at fair value is recognized in profit or loss. The gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk adjusts the 
carrying amount of the hedged item and is recognized in profit or loss.

	 Cash flow hedges – where a derivative financial instrument is designated as a hedge of the exposure to variability in future cash flows of 
a recognized asset or liability or a highly probable forecasted transaction and could affect profit or loss, the effective portion of any gain 
or loss on the derivative financial instrument is recognized directly in other comprehensive income in the cash flow hedge reserve. The 
cumulative gain or loss is removed from other comprehensive income and recognized in profit or loss at the same time as the economic 
effect arising from the hedged item affects income. The gain or loss associated with a hedge or part of a hedge that has become ineffective 
is recognized in profit or loss immediately. When a hedging instrument or hedge relationship is terminated but the hedged transaction 
is still expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss realized to the point of termination remains in other comprehensive income and is 
recognized in profit or loss at the same time as the underlying transaction occurs. If the hedged transaction is no longer probable, the 
cumulative unrealized gain or loss held in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss immediately.

If hedge accounting cannot be applied, the gains or losses from the fair value measurement of derivative financial instruments are recognized 
immediately in profit or loss. 

Transfers of financial assets
The Group derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows arising from the assets are no longer held or if it 
transfers the financial activities, as follows:

	 if the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it derecognizes the financial asset and 
recognizes separately as assets or liabilities any possible rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer;

	 if the Group retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it continues to recognize the financial asset;

	 if the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, it determines whether 
it has retained control of the financial asset. In this case:

	 if the Group has not maintained control, it derecognizes the financial asset and recognizes separately as assets and liabilities any possible 
rights and obligations created or retained in the transfer;

	 if the Group has retained control, it continues to recognize the financial asset to the extent of its continuing involvement in the financial asset.

On derecognition of a financial asset, the difference between the carrying amount of the asset and the consideration received or receivable 
for the transfer of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

Inventories
Inventories of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished goods (including assets leased out under operating lease) are stated at 
the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in-first-out (FIFO) method. Cost includes the direct costs of materials, labor 
and indirect costs (variable and fixed). Provision is made for obsolete and slow-moving raw materials, finished goods, spare parts and other 
supplies based on their expected future use and realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of 
business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs for sale and distribution.

Assets and liabilities held for sale 
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be principally recovered through a sale transaction rather than 
through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable, with the sale expected to be completed 
within one year from the date of classification, and the non-current asset (or the disposal group) is available for immediate sale in its present 
condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such asset (or disposal group). When the Group is committed to 
a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the 
criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the Group will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale.

Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts and fair value less 
costs to sell.

153

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESEmployee benefits
Pension plans
The present value of a defined benefit obligation and the related current service cost (and past service cost, where applicable) for defined 
benefit pension plans are determined on an actuarial basis using the projected unit credit method. 

The net defined benefit liability that the Group recognizes in the statement of financial position represents the present value of the defined 
benefit obligation reduced by the fair value of any plan assets (deficit). In case of a surplus, a net defined benefit asset is recognized at the 
lower of the surplus and the asset ceiling.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability/asset (that comprise: a) actuarial gains and losses, b) return on plan assets, excluding 
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability/asset, and c) any change in the effect of the asset ceiling, excluding 
amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability/asset) are recognized directly in other comprehensive income without 
reclassification to profit or loss in subsequent years.

Past service cost resulting from a plan amendment (the introduction or withdrawal of, or changes to, a defined benefit plan) or a curtailment 
(a significant reduction in the number of employees covered by a plan) and gain or loss on settlements (a transaction that eliminates all 
further legal or constructive obligations for part or all of the benefits) are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they occur (or, 
in case of past service costs, when the entity recognizes related restructuring costs or termination benefits, if earlier).

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset and is recognized as Financial income/
(expenses) in profit or loss. Current service cost and all other costs and income arising from the measurement of pension plan provisions 
are allocated to costs by function in profit or loss.

Post-employment plans other than pensions
The Group provides certain post-employment defined benefits, mainly healthcare plans. The method of accounting and the frequency of 
valuations are similar to those used for defined benefit pension plans.

Defined contribution plans
Costs arising from defined contribution plans are recognized as an expense in profit or loss as incurred.

Share-based compensation plans
The Group provides additional benefits to certain members of senior management and employees through equity compensation plans 
(stock option plans and stock grants). In accordance with IFRS 2 – Share-based Payment, these plans represent a component of recipient 
remuneration. The compensation expense, corresponding to the fair value of the instruments at the grant date, is recognized in profit or loss 
on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of an award, with the offsetting credit recognized 
directly in equity. Any subsequent changes to fair value do not have any effect on the initial measurement.

Provisions
The Group records provisions when it has an obligation, legal or constructive, to a third party, as a result from a past event, when it is 
probable that an outflow of Group resources will be required to satisfy the obligation and when a reliable estimate of the amount can be 
made.

Changes in estimates are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the change occurs.

Treasury shares
Treasury shares are presented as a deduction from equity. The original cost of treasury shares and the proceeds of any subsequent sale are 
presented as movements in equity.

Revenue recognition
Revenue  is  recognized  when  control  of  the  vehicles,  equipment,  services  or  parts  has  been  transferred  and  the  Group’s  performance 
obligations to the customers have been satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Group expects to receive in 
exchange for transferring goods or providing services.

The timing of when the Group transfers the goods or services to the customer may differ from the timing of the customer’s payment.

154

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES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 Group also enters into contracts with multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Group 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 Group sells 
the goods or services separately in the same market, the standalone selling price is the observable price at which the Group sells the goods 
or services separately. For all other goods or services, the Group 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 Group has determined that the customers from the sale of vehicles, equipment and parts are generally dealers, distributors and retail 
customers.

Transfer  of  control,  and  thus  related  revenue  recognition,  generally  corresponds  to  when  the  vehicles,  equipment  and  parts  are  made 
available to the customer. Therefore, the Group recognizes revenue at a point in time, when control is transferred to the customer at a sale 
price that the Group expects to receive.

For all sales, no significant uncertainty exists surrounding the purchaser’s obligation to pay for vehicles, equipment and parts. The Group 
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 a vehicle or equipment contract transaction has multiple performance obligations, the cost 
of incentives is allocated entirely to vehicle or equipment as the intent of the incentives is to encourage sales of vehicles or 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/
vehicles 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 Group offers wholesale financing including 
“interest-free” financing for a 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/vehicle from Industrial Activities to the dealer. 
Concurrent with the sale of the equipment/vehicle, 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 Group 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 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 vehicle. 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. 

155

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES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.

Rents and other income on assets sold with a buy-back commitment 

Commercial and Specialty Vehicles enters into transactions for the sale of vehicles to some customers with an obligation to repurchase (“buy-
back commitment”) the vehicles at the end of a period (“buy-back period”) at the customer’s request. For these types of arrangements, at 
inception, CNH Industrial assesses whether a significant economic incentive exists for the customer to exercise the option.

If CNH Industrial determines that a significant economic incentive exists for the customer to exercise the buy-back option, the transaction 
is accounted for as an operating lease. In such case, vehicles are accounted for as Property, plant and equipment because the agreements 
typically have a long-term buy-back period. The difference between the carrying value (corresponding to the manufacturing cost) and the 
estimated resale value (net of refurbishing costs) at the end of the buy-back period is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the same 
period. The initial sale price received is recognized in “Other current liabilities” and is comprised of the repurchase value of the vehicle, and 
the rents to be recognized in the future recorded as contract liability. These rents are determined at the inception of the contract as the 
difference between the initial sale price and the repurchase price and are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of 
the agreement. At the end of the agreement term, upon exercise of the option, the used vehicles are reclassified from Property, plant and 
equipment to Inventories. The proceeds from the sale of such vehicles are recognized as Revenues.

If CNH Industrial determines that a significant economic incentive does not exist for the customer to exercise the buy-back option, the 
transaction is treated as a sale with a variable consideration whose variable component is the buy-back provision accrual. The buy-back 
provision accrual is the difference between the repurchase price and the estimated market value of the used vehicle at the end of the buy-
back period and is recorded only when the repurchase price is greater than the estimated market value of the used vehicle. The buy-back 
provision accrual is estimated and recognized as a reduction of revenues at the time of the sale. Any subsequent change following such 
periodic reassessment is recognized as a reduction of revenues at that time. 

Finance and interest income 

Finance and interest income on retail and other notes receivables and finance leases 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. When a financial asset becomes credit-impaired and is, therefore, regarded as “Stage 3”, CNH Industrial 
calculates interest income by applying the effective interest rate to the net amortized cost of the financial asset. If the financial asset cures 
and is no longer credit-impaired, CNH Industrial reverts to calculating interest income on a gross basis. Receivables are considered past due 
if the required principal and interest payments have not been received as of the date such payments were due. Delinquency is reported on 
receivables greater than 30 days past due. 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.

Rents and other income on operating leases 

Income from operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis.

Cost of sales
Cost of sales comprises the cost of manufacturing products and the acquisition cost of purchased merchandise which has been sold. It 
includes all directly attributable material and production costs and all production overheads. These include the depreciation of property, 
plant and equipment and the amortization of intangible assets relating to production and write-downs of inventories. Cost of sales also 
includes freight and insurance costs relating to deliveries to dealers and agency fees in the case of direct sales.

Cost of sales also includes provisions made to cover the estimated cost of product warranties at the time of sale to dealer networks or to 
the end customer. 

Expenses which are directly attributable to the Financial Services business, including the interest expense related to the financing of Financial 
Services business as a whole and charges for risk provisions and write-downs, are reported in cost of sales.

Research and development costs
This item includes research costs, development costs not eligible for capitalization and the amortization of development costs recognized 
as assets in accordance with IAS 38.

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.

156

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES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.

Income taxes
Income taxes include all taxes based upon the taxable profits of the Group. Taxes on income are recognized in profit or loss except to 
the extent they relate to items recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income, in which case the related tax effects are 
recognized directly in equity or in other comprehensive income. Provisions for income taxes arising on the distribution of a subsidiary’s 
undistributed profits are only made where there is a current intention to distribute such profits. Deferred taxes are provided using the full 
liability method. They are calculated on all temporary differences between the tax base of an asset or liability and the carrying amounts in 
the Consolidated Financial Statements, except for those arising from non-tax-deductible goodwill and for those related to investments in 
subsidiaries where it is possible to control the reversal of the differences and reversal will not take place in the foreseeable future. Deferred 
tax  assets  relating  to  the  carry-forward  of  unused  tax  losses  and  tax  credits,  as  well  as  those  arising  from  temporary  differences,  are 
recognized to the extent it is probable future profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Current and deferred income tax 
assets and liabilities are offset when the income taxes are levied by the same taxation authority and where there is a legally enforceable right 
of offset. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the enacted or substantively enacted tax rates of the relevant tax jurisdictions 
that  are  expected  to  apply  to  taxable  income  during  the  period  or  periods  in  which  the  temporary  differences  reverse.  The  Group 
recognizes tax liabilities for uncertain tax treatments when tax risks arising from positions taken by the Group are considered probable, 
assuming the tax authorities have full knowledge of all relevant information when making their examination. In doing so, the Group evaluates 
whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or jointly consider multiple uncertain tax treatments, using the approach that 
better predicts the resolution of the uncertainty. The liabilities recognized correspond to the amounts expected to be paid. Other taxes not 
based on taxable profits, such as property taxes and taxes on capital, are included in operating expenses.

Dividends
Dividends payable by the Group are reported as a change in equity in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s shareholders 
at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (“AGM”).

Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing the Profit/(loss) attributable to owners of the parent by the weighted average number 
of common shares outstanding during the year. Special voting shares are not included in the earnings per share calculation as they are not 
eligible for dividends and have only limited economic rights. For diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of common shares 
outstanding is adjusted assuming conversion of dilutive potential common shares. 

Use of estimates
These  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  have  been  prepared  in  accordance  with  EU-IFRS  which  requires  CNH  Industrial  to  make 
judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, 
and reported amounts of income and expenses. 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 CNH Industrial’s estimates and 
assumptions, and therefore might require significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of certain items, which as of the date of these 
Consolidated Financial Statements cannot be accurately estimated or predicted.

The principal items affected by estimates are the allowances for doubtful accounts receivable and inventories, non-current assets (tangible 
and intangible assets), the residual values of vehicles leased out under operating lease arrangements or sold with buy-back commitments, 
sales allowances, product warranties, pension and other post-employment benefits, deferred tax assets and contingent liabilities.

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  CNH  Industrial  has  made  in  the  process 
of applying its accounting policies and that may have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in its Consolidated Financial 
Statements or that represent a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the 
next financial year.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESAllowance for doubtful accounts
The allowance for doubtful accounts for trade receivables and contract assets reflects CNH Industrial’s estimate of expected lifetime credit 
losses, and it is measured at an amount equal to the present value of the cash shortfalls over the expected life of the financial asset. 

The allowance for doubtful accounts for receivables from financing activities reflects management’s estimate of forward looking expected 
credit losses (“ECL”) in the wholesale and retail credit portfolio. This requires considerable judgement about how changes in economic 
factors  affect  ECLs,  which  is  determined  on  a  probability-weighted  basis.  The  ECL  model  applies  to  financial  assets  accounted  for  at 
amortized  cost  and  at  fair  value  through  other  comprehensive  income,  lease  receivables,  and  certain  loan  commitments  and  financial 
guarantee contracts. The loss allowances will be measured on either of the following bases:

	 12 month ECLs: these are ECLs that result from possible default events within the 12 months after the reporting date; and

	 lifetime ECLs: these are ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

Refer to Note 17 “Current receivables and Other current financial assets” for additional details on the calculation of allowance for credit 
losses. 

Allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory
The  allowance  for  obsolete  and  slow-moving  inventory  reflects  management’s  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 vehicle market. A worsening of the 
economic and financial situation could cause a further deterioration in conditions in the used vehicle market compared to that taken into 
consideration in calculating the allowances recognized in the financial statements.

Recoverability of non-current assets (including goodwill)
Non-current assets include property, plant and equipment, intangible assets (including goodwill), investments and other non-current financial 
assets. The Group reviews the carrying value of non-current assets held and used and that of assets to be disposed of when events and 
circumstances warrant such a review. For goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives such analysis is carried out at least annually.

The analysis of the recoverable amount of non-current assets other than goodwill is usually performed using estimates of future expected 
cash flows from the use or disposal of the asset and an appropriate discount rate in order to calculate present value. If the carrying amount 
is deemed to be impaired, the Group recognizes an impairment loss for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its 
estimated recoverable amount from use or disposal determined by reference to the cash flows included in its most recent business forecasts.

In the second quarter of 2020, CNH Industrial performed a quantitative impairment assessment for the Construction cash-generating unit 
which resulted in a recoverable amount below carrying value. Based on the assessment, CNH Industrial recognized a goodwill impairment loss 
of $576 million, representing the total impairment of Construction goodwill. Goodwill impairment test is performed at the cash generating 
unit level, the segment level. The recoverable amount of the cash generating units is determined using multiple valuation methodologies, 
relying largely on an income approach (based on the present value of estimated future cash flows) but also incorporating value indicators 
from a market approach. The carrying amount of a cash generating unit is then compared to the recoverable amount to determine if there 
is an impairment loss. Further details on the goodwill impairment test are included in Note 12.

In view of the present economic and financial situation, the Group made the following considerations in respect of its future prospects:

	 when carrying out impairment testing of tangible and intangible assets, the Group took into account its expected performance in the 
upcoming years. CNH Industrial extended such projections for subsequent years to appropriately cover the period of analysis;

	 should the assumptions underlying the forecast deteriorate further, the following is noted: the Group’s tangible and intangible assets with a 
finite useful life (mostly development costs) relate to models or products with high technological content in line with the latest environmental 
laws and regulations, which consequently makes them competitive in the current economic environment, especially in the more mature 
economies in which particular attention is placed on the eco-sustainability of those types of products. Consequently, despite the fact that the 
capital goods sector is one of the markets which could be most affected by a potential crisis in the immediate term, management considers 
that is highly probable that the life cycle of these products can be lengthened to extend over the period of time involved in a slower economic 
recovery, allowing the Group to achieve sufficient cash flows to cover the investments, although over a longer period of time.

Residual values of assets leased out under operating lease arrangements or sold with a buy-back commitment
CNH Industrial records assets rented to customers or leased to them under operating lease as tangible assets. Furthermore, new vehicle 
sales with a buy-back commitment are not recognized as sales at the time of delivery but are accounted for as operating lease if it is probable 
that the vehicle will be bought back. Income from such operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. 
Depreciation expense for assets subject to operating lease 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 

158

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESis calculated at the lease commencement date on the basis of published industry information and historical experience and are reviewed 
quarterly. Realization of the residual values is dependent on CNH Industrial’s future ability to market the assets under the then-prevailing 
market conditions. The Group continually evaluates whether events and circumstances have occurred which impact the estimated residual 
values  of  the  assets  on  operating  lease.  The  used  vehicle  market  was  carefully  monitored  to  ensure  that  write-downs  were  properly 
determined. However, it cannot be excluded that additional write-downs may be required if market conditions should deteriorate further.

Sales allowances
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. The expense for new programs is accrued at the inception of the program. The amounts of incentives 
to  be  paid  are  estimated.  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. 

Product warranties
CNH  Industrial  makes  provisions  for  estimated  expenses  related  to  product  warranties  at  the  time  products  are  sold.  Management 
establishes these estimates based on historical information on the nature, frequency and average cost of warranty claims. The Group seeks 
to improve vehicle quality and minimize warranty expenses arising from claims. Warranty costs may differ from those estimated if actual 
claim rates are higher or lower than historical rates.

Pension and other post-employment benefits
Group  companies  sponsor  pension  and  other  post-employment  benefits  in  various  countries,  mainly  in  the  United  States,  the  United 
Kingdom and Germany.

Employee benefit liabilities, related assets, costs and net interest connected with them are measured on an actuarial basis which requires 
the  use  of  estimates  and  assumptions  to  determine  the  net  defined  benefit  liability/asset  for  the  Group.  The  actuarial  method  takes 
into  consideration  parameters  of  a  financial  nature  such  as  the  discount  rate,  the  rate  for  expected  return  on  plan  assets,  the  rate  of 
salary increases and the healthcare costs trend rate and takes into consideration the likelihood of potential future events by using certain 
demographic parameters such as mortality rates and dismissal or retirement rates. The discount rates selected are based on yields or yield 
curves of high quality corporate bonds in the relevant market. Trends in healthcare costs are developed on the basis of historical experience, 
the near-term outlook for costs and likely long-term trends. Rates of salary increases reflect the Group’s long-term actual expectations in 
the reference market and inflation trends. Changes in any of these assumptions may have an effect on future contributions to the plans.

The  effects  resulting  from  revising  the  estimates  for  the  above  parameters  (“re-measurements”)  are  recognized  directly  in  other 
comprehensive income without reclassification to profit or loss in subsequent years: refer to “Employee benefits” section above for further 
details.

Significant future changes in the yields of corporate bonds, other actuarial assumptions referred to above and returns on plan assets may 
significantly impact the net liability/asset.

Recognition of deferred tax assets
At December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial had net deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards, of $538 million, of which $383 million 
are  not  recognized  in  the  financial  statements.  The  corresponding  totals  at  December  31,  2020  were  $1,699  million  and  $841  million. 
Management has recognized deferred tax assets it believes are probable to be realized. In determining the amount of deferred tax assets 
probable to be realized management has considered figures from budgets and plans consistent with those used for other purposes within 
CNH Industrial, for example impairment testing, as discussed in the paragraph “Recoverability of non-current assets (including goodwill)” 
above.  CNH  Industrial  believes  the  amount  of  recognized  deferred  tax  assets  is  appropriate,  despite  the  risk  of  actual  future  results 
potentially being less than results included in these forecasts, considering many of the recognized net deferred tax assets relate to temporary 
differences and tax losses which, to a significant extent, may be recovered over an extended time period, but do not expire based on 
currently enacted tax law. As in all financial reporting periods, CNH Industrial assessed the realizability of its various deferred tax assets, 
which related to multiple tax jurisdictions in all regions of the world. During 2021, CNH Industrial recognized substantially all the deferred tax 
assets related to the agricultural and construction equipment operations in Brazil, resulting in a $142 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. Also during 2021, multiple of CNH Industrial’s primary European jurisdictions returned to pre-tax profitability, which represented a 
substantial improvement in results as compared to 2020. Accordingly, Management concluded it was appropriate to continue recognizing 
the deferred tax assets related to those jurisdictions. 

159

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESContingent liabilities
CNH Industrial is the subject of legal proceedings and tax issues 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 
CNH Industrial 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 management consults with legal counsel and certain other experts on matters related to litigation and taxes. The Group accrues 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 possible or an estimate is not determinable, the matter is disclosed.

New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2021 
On August 27, 2020 the IASB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16), which 
addresses the accounting for changes in the basis for determining contractual cash flows as a consequence of IBOR reform. Furthermore, 
the amendments include additional temporary exceptions from applying specific hedge accounting requirements and additional disclosures. 
The amendments are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. These amendments had 
no impact on these Consolidated Financial Statements. The Group intends to apply these amendments in the future periods if they become 
applicable. 

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not early adopted by the Group
The main accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not early adopted by the Group are the following:

	 On May 14, 2020 the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment—Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16) to prohibit deducting 
from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced before that asset is available for use 
and clarifying the meaning of “testing whether an asset is functioning properly”. These amendments are effective retrospectively from 
January 1, 2022.

	 On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued Onerous Contracts—Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37) specifying that the cost of fulfilling 
a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract, including both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an 
allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. These amendments are effective retrospectively from January 1, 2022.

	 On  May  14,  2020  the  IASB  issued  the  Annual  Improvements  to  IFRS  2018-2020  Cycle.  The  most  important  topics  addressed  in  these 
amendments are: (i) on IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments clarifying which fees an entity includes when it applies the “10 per cent” test in 
assessing  whether  to  derecognize  a  financial  liability;  and  (ii)  on  IFRS  16  -  Leases  removing  the  illustration  of  the  reimbursement  of 
leasehold improvements. These improvements are effective from January 1, 2022.

Furthermore, at the date of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the European Union has not yet completed its endorsement process 
for the amendments and improvements, reported below.

The  Group  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  the  adoption  of  these  amendments  and  improvements  on  its  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements or disclosures:

	 On February 12, 2021 the IASB issued the Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure 
of  Accounting  policies,  requiring  to  disclose  the  material  accounting  policy  information  rather  than  the  significant  accounting  policies. 
Furthermore, the amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting 
policy disclosures. This amendment is effective from January 1, 2023.

	 On February 12, 2021 the IASB issued the Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition 
of Accounting Estimates. The amendments clarify how to distinguish changes in accounting policies (generally also applied retrospectively 
to past transactions and other past events) from changes in accounting estimates (applied prospectively only to future transactions and 
other future events). This amendment is effective from January 1, 2023.

	 On May 7, 2021 the IASB issued  Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12), 
which specifies how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The 
amendments clarify that no exemption applies on such transactions and that companies are required to recognize deferred tax when 
they recognize the related assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 
or after January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.

160

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESSCOPE OF CONSOLIDATION

The Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group as of December 31, 2021 include CNH Industrial N.V. and 202 consolidated subsidiaries 
over which CNH Industrial N.V., directly or indirectly, has control. A total of 173 subsidiaries were consolidated at December 31, 2020.

Excluded from consolidation are 13 subsidiaries that are either dormant or generate a negligible volume of business: their proportion of the 
Group’s assets, liabilities, financial position and earnings is immaterial. In particular, 13 of such subsidiaries are accounted for using the cost 
method, and represent in aggregate less than 0.01 percent of Group revenues, equity and total assets.

Discontinued Operations - Iveco Group Business
This section provides details of the contents of the items relating to Discontinued Operations as reported in the Consolidated Income 
Statement, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.

From a methodological standpoint it should be noted that with reference to the presentation required by IFRS 5, Discontinued Operations 
are included in the scope of consolidation of CNH Industrial Group at December 31, 2021 and accordingly the total balances relating to the 
whole Group have been determined by making the appropriate eliminations of transactions and balances between Continuing Operations 
and Discontinued Operations.

More specifically, the approach was as follows:

	 in order to present the financial effects of a Discontinued Operation, revenues and expenses arising from intercompany transactions were 
eliminated except for those revenues and expenses that are considered to continue after the demerger. 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 Income Statements. The amounts of income statement items included 
in Discontinued Operations is detailed in the following paragraph.

	 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.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESBUSINESS COMBINATIONS
Acquisition of Raven Industries
On November 30, 2021, CNH Industrial completed its previously announced acquisition of Raven Industries, Inc. (“Raven”), a U.S.-based 
leader  in  precision  agriculture  technology.  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. The acquisition enhances CNH Industrial’s precision farming 
portfolio and aligns with the Company’s digital transformation strategy.

The acquisition of Raven has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance with 
IFRS 3 - Business Combinations. 

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. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was preliminary as of December 31, 
2021  and  will  be  finalized  during  the  one-year  measurement  period  from  the  acquisition  date,  as  provided  for  by  IFRS  3.  As  a  result, 
CNH Industrial recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including 
$1.3 billion and $0.5 billion in preliminary goodwill and intangible assets. The preliminary assessment will be updated as revised information 
becomes available, including the development and review of the necessary valuations.

Applied Technology is included in the Company’s Agriculture segment.

The Company is committed to a plan to sell the Engineered Films and Aerostar business divisions and has classified them as held for sale as 
of December 31, 2021. For additional detail of items presented under Assets held for sale and Liabilities held for sale as of December 31, 
2021, see Note 20 “Assets and Liabilities held for sale”.

The impact was not material to the 2021 Consolidated Income Statement.

Acquisition of Sampierana
On  December  30,  2021,  CNH  Industrial  completed  its  previously  announced  purchase  of  90%  capital  stock  of  Sampierana  S.p.A 
(“Sampierana”).

The  acquisition  of  the  remaining  10%  of  the  capital  stock  in  Sampierana  will  occur  over  the  next  four  years  through  predetermined 
mechanisms. Sampierana is an Italian company specializing in the development, manufacture and commercialization of earthmoving machines, 
undercarriages and spare parts.

The acquisition of Sampierana has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting, in accordance 
with IFRS 3 - Business Combinations. 

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. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed was preliminary as of December 31, 
2021  and  will  be  finalized  during  the  one-year  measurement  period  from  the  acquisition  date,  as  provided  for  by  IFRS  3.  As  a  result, 
CNH Industrial recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including 
approximately $51 million in preliminary goodwill. The preliminary assessment will be updated as revised information becomes available, 
including the development and review of the necessary valuations.

Sampierana is included in the Company’s Construction segment.

The impact was not material to the 2021 Consolidated Income Statement.

There were no significant business combinations in 2020.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, revenues included $1 million and nil, respectively, relating to the reversal of contract 
liabilities outstanding at the beginning of each period. Refer to Note 26 “Other current liabilities” for additional details on contract liabilities. 

As of December 31, 2021, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations related to extended 
warranties/maintenance  and  repair  contracts  was  approximately  $15  million  (nil  as  of  December  31,  2020).  As  of  December  31,  2021, 
CNH Industrial expects to recognize revenue on approximately 30% and 89% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 
and 36 months, respectively, with the remaining recognized thereafter.

2.  Cost of sales
Cost of sales amounted to $15,231 million in 2021 and to $12,287 million in 2020.

3.  Selling, general and administrative costs
Selling, general and administrative costs amounted to $1,425 million in 2021, compared to $1,197 million recorded in 2020, as costs returned 
to more normal levels from the pandemic-affected low levels experienced last year.

4.  Research and development costs
In 2021, Research and development costs of $677 million ($634 million in 2020) comprise all the research and development costs not

CNH Industrial N.V. is incorporated in the Netherlands but is a tax resident of the United Kingdom (“U.K.”). The reconciliation of the 
differences  between  the  theoretical  income  taxes  at  the  parent  statutory  rate  and  the  total  income  taxes  is  presented  based  on  the 
weighted average of the U.K. statutory corporation tax rates in force over each of the Company’s calendar year reporting periods of 19.00% 
in 2021 and 2020. A reconciliation of CNH Industrial’s income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

($ million)
Theoretical Income tax (expense) benefit at the parent statutory rate
Foreign income taxed at different rates
Deferred tax assets not recognized and write-down

CNH Industrial’s effective tax rates (including both Continuing and Discontinued Operations) for 2021 and 2020 were 16.8% and 7.3%, 
respectively.  The  current  period  effective  tax  rate  was  positively  impacted  by  $142  million  related  to  recognizing  deferred  tax  assets 
associated with the Company’s agricultural and construction equipment operations in Brazil, pre-tax earnings in other jurisdictions which 
allowed previously unrecognized deferred tax assets to be realized, and the impact of additional tax credit and incentive benefits. These 
positive impacts were partly offset by the negative impacts of the non-deductible expenses associated with the Demerger and the acquisition 
of Raven Industries, Inc. The 2020 effective tax rate reflected the inability to record tax benefits for pre-tax losses in certain jurisdictions and 
the goodwill impairment charge related to the Company’s Construction segment, the effects of which were partially offset by the impact of 
net discrete tax benefits, which were primarily non-cash and included $44 million related to the recognition of certain deferred tax assets, 
primarily based on the recent profit history and expected future profitability of consolidated tax reporting groups in certain jurisdictions.

At  December  31,  2021,  undistributed  earnings  in  certain  subsidiaries  outside  the  U.K.  totaled  approximately  $9  billion  ($7  billion  at 
December 31, 2020) for which no deferred tax liability has been recorded because the remittance of earnings from certain jurisdictions 
would incur no tax or such earnings are indefinitely reinvested. CNH Industrial has determined the amount of unrecognized deferred tax 
liability relating to the $9 billion undistributed earnings is approximately $264 million and related to withholding taxes and incremental local 
country income taxes in certain jurisdictions. Further, CNH Industrial evaluated the undistributed earnings from its joint ventures in which it 
owned 50% or less and recorded $11 million of deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2021. The repatriation of undistributed earnings 
to the U.K. is generally exempt from U.K. income taxes.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESCNH Industrial recognizes in its consolidated statement of financial position within Deferred tax assets, the amount of deferred tax assets 
less the deferred tax liabilities of the individual consolidated legal entities, where these may be offset. The components of net deferred tax 
assets at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

The decrease of $703 million in net deferred tax assets is mainly due to the net increase recognized in the income statement of $244 million, 
which was largely driven by the recognition of certain deferred tax assets in Brazil, being more than offset by the transfer to Assets/Liabilities 
held for distribution of $719 million.

The decision to recognize deferred tax assets is made for each legal entity in the Group by critically assessing whether the conditions exist 
for the future realization of such assets on the basis of actual results, as well as updated strategic plans and accompanying tax plans. For this 
reason, the total theoretical future tax benefits arising from deductible temporary differences of $1,163 million at December 31, 2021 and of 
$2,017 million at December 31, 2020, and tax loss carryforwards and tax credits of $382 million at December 31, 2021 and of $777 million 
at December 31, 2020, were reduced by $383 million at December 31, 2021 and by $841 million at December 31, 2020.

Net deferred tax assets include $149 million at December 31, 2021 ($287 million at December 31, 2020) of tax benefits arising from tax 
loss carryforwards and tax credits. At December 31, 2021, a further tax benefit of $233 million ($490 million at December 31, 2020) arising 
from tax loss carryforwards and tax credits has not been recognized. 

Tax liabilities primarily include uncertain income tax amounts of $127 million and other tax payables.

CNH Industrial files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. 
CNH Industrial has open tax years from 2009 through 2020. Due to the global nature of CNH Industrial business, transfer pricing disputes 
may arise and CNH Industrial may seek correlative relief through competent authority processes. Further, as various ongoing audits are 
concluded, or as the applicable statutes of limitations expire, it is possible CNH Industrial’s amount of unrecognized tax benefits could 
change during the next twelve months. Those changes, however, are not expected to have a material impact on CNH Industrial’s results of 
operations, statement of financial position, or cash flows.

10.  Other information by nature of expense
The income statement includes personnel costs for $4,695 million in 2021 ($3,820 million in 2020) for CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger.

Basic earnings/(loss) per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing the Profit/(loss) for the period attributable to the owners of the 
parent by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that 
could  occur  on  the  conversion  of  all  dilutive  potential  common  shares  into  common  shares.  Stock  options,  restricted  stock  units,  and 
performance stock units deriving from the CNH Industrial share-based payment awards are considered dilutive potential common shares.

For the year ended December 31, 2021, no shares were outstanding and not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share as the 
impact of these shares would have been anti-dilutive.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, 2.9 million shares (consisting of share grants) were outstanding but not included in the calculation 
of diluted earnings per share as the impact of these shares would have been anti-dilutive.

Shares acquired under the buy-back program are included in the issued shares of the Company and treasury stock, but are not included in 
average shares outstanding when calculating earnings per share. For additional information on the buy-back program, see Note 21 “Equity”.

(*)  Goodwill related to Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business”) were 

reclassified to Assets held for Distribution; refer to the section “Scope of Consolidation - Discontinued Operations - Iveco Group Business” above.

The acquisitions of Raven and Sampierana during the fourth quarter of 2021 led to an increase in goodwill for Agriculture and Construction 
of $1.3 billion and $48 million, respectively. Goodwill related to the acquisitions was calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred 
over  the  net  assets  recognized  and  represents  the  future  economic  benefits  arising  from  the  other  assets  acquired  that  could  not  be 
individually identified and separately recognized. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized as of 
December 31, 2021. Thus, goodwill associated with the acquisitions is subject to adjustment during the measurement period.

Goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurs.

During the second quarter of 2020, CNH Industrial 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 cash-generating units, industry and market considerations, overall financial performance 
(both current and projected) as well as the amount by which the recoverable amount of CNH Industrial’s cash-generating units exceeded 
their  respective  carrying  values  at  the  date  of  the  last  quantitative  assessment,  CNH  Industrial,  as  part  of  the  qualitative  assessment 
performed, determined these conditions indicated that the carrying value of the Construction cash-generating unit exceeded its recoverable 
amount. At June 30, 2020, CNH Industrial completed a quantitative impairment assessment for the Construction cash-generating unit which 
resulted in a recoverable amount below carrying value. Based on the assessment, CNH Industrial recognized a goodwill impairment loss 
of $576 million for the Construction cash-generating unit, representing the total impairment of Construction goodwill. At December 31, 
2020, the Company completed its annual impairment assessment and concluded there was no impairment to goodwill for the other cash-
generating units. At December 31, 2021, the Company completed its annual assessment of goodwill excluding that related to the acquisitions 
in 2021 and concluded that there was no impairment to goodwill for any of the cash-generating units.

CNH Industrial determines the recoverable amount of these cash-generating units using multiple valuation methodologies, relying largely on 
an income approach but also incorporating value indicators from a market approach, with reference to the cash-generating units with the 
most significant allocated goodwill. 

Under the income approach, CNH Industrial calculates the recoverable amount of a cash-generating unit based on the present value of 
estimated future cash flows. The income approach is dependent on several critical management assumptions, including estimates of future 
sales in the discrete future period, the weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) and terminal value growth rates, and also less significant 
assumptions such as gross margins, operating costs, income tax rates, capital expenditures and changes in working capital requirements. 
Discount rate assumptions include an assessment of the risk inherent in the future cash flows of the respective cash-generating units.

The following discount rates before taxes were selected:

Agriculture
Construction
Financial Services

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESExpected  cash  flows  used  under  the  income  approach  are  developed  in  conjunction  with  CNH  Industrial  budgeting  and  forecasting 
processes.  CNH  Industrial  used  nine  years  of  expected  cash  flows  for  Agriculture,  and  five  years  of  expected  cash  flows  for  Financial 
Services, as management believes that these periods generally reflect the underlying market cycles for its businesses. Under the market 
approach, CNH Industrial estimates the recoverable amount of the Agriculture cash-generating unit, using earnings before interest, tax, 
depreciation and amortization multiples, and estimates the recoverable amount of the Financial Services cash-generating unit using book 
value multiples. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics 
as the respective cash-generating units. The guideline company method makes use of market price data of corporations whose stock is 
actively traded in a public, free and open market, either on an exchange or over-the counter basis. Although it is clear no two companies 
are entirely alike, the corporations selected as guideline companies must be engaged in the same, or a similar, line of business or be subject 
to similar financial and business risks, including the opportunity for growth. 

A terminal value is included at the end of the projection period used in the discounted cash flow analysis in order to reflect the remaining 
value  that  each  cash-generating  unit  is  expected  to  generate.  The  terminal  value  represents  the  present  value  in  the  last  year  of  the 
projection period of all subsequent cash flows into perpetuity. The terminal value growth rate is a key assumption used in determining the 
terminal value as it represents the annual growth of all subsequent cash flows into perpetuity. The terminal value growth rate was 1.0% in 
2021 and 2020 for the Agriculture cash-generating unit, and 1.5% in 2021 and 2020 for Financial Services.

As of December 31, 2021, the estimated recoverable amounts, (excluding the balance of the 2021 acquisitions) calculated using the above 
method, of the Agriculture and Financial Services cash-generating units exceeded the carrying values by approximately 294% and 75%, 
respectively. Thus, CNH Industrial did not recognize an impairment for these cash-generating units. 

The results obtained for Commercial and Specialty Vehicles confirmed the absence of an impairment loss with reference to the goodwill 
amount included in the Discontinued Operations.

The sum of the recoverable amounts of CNH Industrial’s cash generating units was in excess of CNH Industrial’s market capitalization at 
December 31, 2021. CNH Industrial believes that the difference between the recoverable amount and market capitalization is reasonable 
(in the context of assessing whether any asset impairment exists) when market-based control premiums are taken into consideration.

Trademarks and Other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are mainly attributable to Agriculture and Construction and consist of 
acquired trademarks and similar rights which have no legal, contractual, competitive or economic factors that limit their useful lives. For the 
purposes of impairment testing, these assets were attributed to the respective cash-generating units. No impairment loss was recognized.

Finally, the estimates and budget data to which the above-mentioned parameters have been applied are those determined by management 
based on past performance and expectations of developments in the markets in which CNH Industrial operates. Impairment assessments 
inherently involve management judgments regarding a number of assumptions such as those described above. Due to the many variables 
inherent in the estimation of a cash generating unit’s recoverable amount, differences in assumptions could have a material effect on the 
estimated recoverable amount and could result in a goodwill impairment loss in a future period. Circumstances and events, which could 
potentially cause further impairment losses, are constantly monitored by CNH Industrial.

Development costs and other intangible assets with finite useful lives
The amortization of development costs and impairment losses are reported in the income statement as Research and development costs.

Development costs are tested for impairment at the cash-generating unit level.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized over their estimated useful lives and tested for impairment if events or changes in 
circumstances indicate that the asset may be impaired. During the second quarter of 2020, CNH Industrial recorded an impairment loss of 
$17 million related to its Construction dealer network and $65 million related to certain software costs in its Agriculture segment. These 
impairments are included in the Cost of sales in the consolidated income statement. Moreover, during the second quarter of 2020, CNH 
Industrial recorded an impairment loss of $72 million (included in Research and Development costs) on development costs in Agriculture.

Further  impairment  charges  of  $32  million  against  development  costs  and  other  intangible  assets  were  recognized  in  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2020.

As  a  result  of  the  significant  decline  in  industry  demand  and  other  market  conditions  due  to  the  economic  disruption  caused  by  the 
COVID-19 pandemic, during the second quarter of 2020 CNH Industrial reviewed its current manufacturing footprint, and has reassessed 
the recoverability of certain assets. As a result, Agriculture and Construction recognized an impairment loss of $111 million and $45 million, 
respectively, against Property, plant and equipment acquired. Furthermore, during the second quarter of 2020, Commercial and Specialty 
Vehicles recognized impairment losses of $134 million in connection with new actions identified in order to realize the asset portfolio of 
vehicles sold under buy-back commitments as a result of the significant deterioration of the used vehicle markets in which the segment 
operates and the consequent impact on truck residual values. Commercial and Specialty Vehicles also recognized impairment losses of 
$7 million against Property, plant and equipment acquired. The impairment losses were recognized in Cost of sales. 

Commercial and Specialty Vehicles recognized an impairment loss of $2 million on Assets sold with a buy-back commitment for the year 
ended December 31, 2021 ($144 million for the year ended December 31, 2020). The losses were recognized in the Cost of sales.

Other changes mainly include the reclassification of the prior year balances for Advances and tangible assets in progress to the appropriate 
categories when the assets were effectively acquired and put into operation, as well as the reclassification to Inventory of Assets sold with 
a buy-back commitment ($217 million) that are held for sale at the agreement expiry date.

At December 31, 2021, right-of-use assets refer primarily to the following lease contracts: industrial buildings for $139 million ($311 million at 
December 31, 2020), plant, machinery and equipment for $13 million ($36 million at December 31, 2020), and other assets for $39 million 
($99 million at December 31, 2020). For a description of the related lease liabilities, refer to Note 24 “Debt”.

Short-term and low-value leases are not recorded in the statement of financial position; CNH Industrial recognizes lease expense ($10 million 
and $11 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively) in the income statement for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Land and industrial buildings and plant, machinery and equipment pledged as security for debt and other commitments were immaterial at 
December 31, 2021 and 2020.

CNH  Industrial  had  contractual  commitments  of  $95  million  and  $126  million  for  the  acquisition  of  property,  plant  and  equipment  at 
December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Revaluations and Write-downs include the Group’s share of the profit or loss for the year of investments accounted for using the equity 
method for an amount of $123 million in 2021 and $19 million in 2020.

At December  31, 2020, equity investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income included the fair value of the 
approximately 6.6% investment held by CNH Industrial in Nikola Corporation (“Nikola”), made in the context of the strategic partnership 
with Nikola to industrialize fuel-cell and battery electric Heavy-Duty trucks. During the second quarter of 2020, Nikola completed a business 
combination with VectoIQ Acquisition Corp., a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company. Under the terms and conditions of 
the business combination, the former shareholders of Nikola received 1.901 shares of VectoIQ for each share held in Nikola and became 
shareholders  of  VectoIQ,  which,  in  turn,  changed  its  name  to  “Nikola  Corporation”.  The  combined  company’s  shares  continued  to  list 
on NASDAQ under the new ticker symbol “NKLA”. Before the completion of the business combination, CNH Industrial increased its 
investment  in  Nikola  to  $250  million.  The  market  price  of  Nikola  shares  as  of  December  31,  2021  was  $9.87,  determining  a  value  of 
$254  million  for  the  25,661,448  shares  held  by  CNH  Industrial  through  its  fully-owned  subsidiary  Iveco  S.p.A.  During  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial recorded in Other comprehensive income (classified in the items related to Discontinued Operations) 
a pre-tax loss of $138 million ($139 million after-tax) from the remeasurement at fair value of the investment in Nikola.

Iveco S.p.A. and Nikola Corporation are jointly developing cab over battery-electric vehicle (“BEV”) and hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicle 
(“FCEV”) trucks, which will be manufactured in Europe through a legal entity 50/50 owned by Iveco S.p.A. and Nikola Corporation, and in 
the U.S. by Nikola Corporation. During 2020, Iveco S.p.A. and Nikola entered into a series of agreements to establish the European legal 
entity. The set-up activities of the legal entity started in the fourth quarter of 2020 and are progressing according to internal schedules and 
production started in Q4 2021.

a 30.1% of Naveco (Nanjing Iveco Motor Co.) to SAIC Group. Closing of the transaction occurred in the third quarter of 2021. The sale 
resulted in the discontinuation of the equity method of accounting and the recognition of a pre-tax and after-tax gain of $9 million, which 
is included in item “Gains/(losses) on disposal of investments” in the income statement. The remaining 19.9% interest in Naveco is now 
measured at fair value through profit or loss ($10 million at September 30, 2021, determined on the basis of the sale price for the 30.1% 
interest).

Trade accounts have significant concentrations of credit risk in the Agriculture and Construction segments. There is not a disproportionate 
concentration of credit risk in any geographic region. 

The Industrial Activities businesses sell a significant portion of their trade receivables to Financial Services and provide compensation to 
Financial Services at approximate market interest rates.

In 2021 and 2020, trade receivables for an amount of $1 million and $1 million, respectively, were written off.

Charge-offs of principal amounts of trade receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance at the point when it is estimated that 
amounts due are deemed uncollectible. CNH Industrial continues to engage in collection efforts to attempt to recover the receivables. 
When recoveries are collected, these are recognized as income.

CNH Industrial provides and administers financing for retail purchases of new and used equipment sold through its dealer network. The 
terms of retail and other notes and finance leases generally range from two to six years, and interest rates vary depending on prevailing 
market interest rates and certain incentive programs offered by Industrial Activities. 

Wholesale receivables arise primarily from the sale of goods to dealers and distributors and, to a lesser extent, the financing of dealer 
operations. Under the standard terms of the wholesale receivable agreements, these receivables typically have “interest-free” periods of up 
to twelve months and stated original maturities of up to twenty-four months, with repayment accelerated upon the sale of the underlying 
equipment  by  the  dealer.  During  the  “interest-free”  period,  Financial  Services  is  compensated  by  Industrial  Activities  based  on  market 
interest rates. After the expiration of any “interest-free” period, interest is charged to dealers on outstanding balances until CNH Industrial 
receives payment in full. The “interest-free” periods are determined based on the type of equipment sold and the time of year of the 
sale. CNH Industrial evaluates and assesses dealers on an ongoing basis as to their credit worthiness. CNH Industrial may be obligated to 
repurchase the dealer’s equipment upon cancellation or termination of the dealer’s contract for such causes as change in ownership, closeout 
of the business, or default. There were no significant losses in 2021 and 2020 relating to the termination of dealer contracts.

180

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESCNH Industrial assesses and monitors the credit quality of its financing receivables based on whether a receivable is classified as Performing 
or Non-Performing. Financing receivables are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not yet been received 
as of the date such payments were due. Delinquency is reported on financing receivables greater than 30 days past due. Non-performing 
financing receivables represent loans for which CNH Industrial has ceased accruing finance income. These receivables are generally 90 days 
past due. Finance income for non-performing receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrued interest is charged-off to interest income. 
Interest income charged-off was not material for the year ended December 31, 2021. Interest accrual is resumed if the receivable becomes 
contractually current and collection becomes probable. Previously suspended income is recognized at that time.

Receivables from financing activities have significant concentrations of credit risk in the agriculture and construction business sectors. On 
a geographic basis, there is not a disproportionate concentration of credit risk in any area. CNH Industrial typically retains as collateral a 
security interest in the equipment associated with retail notes, wholesale notes and finance leases.

A financial asset has experienced a significant increase in credit risk when the customer shows signs of operational or financial weakness 
including past dues, which requires significant collection effort and monitoring and generally occurs when the customer becomes past due 
greater than 30 days. The assessment considers available information regarding the financial stability of the customer and other market/
industry data; an account is typically considered in default when it is 90 days past due.

Charge-offs of principal amounts of receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance at the point when it is estimated that amounts 
due  are  deemed  uncollectible.  CNH  Industrial  continues  to  engage  in  collection  efforts  to  attempt  to  recover  the  receivables.  When 
recoveries are collected, these are recognized as income.

Allowance for Credit Losses
CNH Industrial’s allowance for credit losses is segregated into two portfolio segments: retail and wholesale. A portfolio segment is the 
level at which CNH Industrial develops a systematic methodology for determining its allowance for credit losses. Further, CNH Industrial 
evaluates its retail and wholesale portfolio segments by class of receivable: North America, Europe, South America and Rest of World 
regions. Typically, CNH Industrial’s receivables within a geographic region have similar risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring 
risk. These classes align with management reporting.

The Group accounts for its credit risk by appropriately providing for expected credit losses on a timely basis. In calculating the expected credit 
loss rates, CNH Industrial considers historical loss rates for each category of customers and adjusts for forward looking macroeconomic data. 

In calculating the expected credit losses, CNH Industrial’s calculations depend on whether the receivable has been individually identified 
as  being  impaired.  The  first  component  of  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  covers  the  receivables  specifically  reviewed  by  management 
for which CNH Industrial has determined it is probable that it will not collect all of the contractual principal and interest. Receivables are 
individually reviewed for impairment based on, among other items, amounts outstanding, days past due and prior collection history. Expected 
credit losses are measured by considering: the unbiased and probability-weighted amount; the time value of money; and reasonable and 
supportable information (available without undue costs or effort) at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts 
of future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls over the 
expected life of each financial asset.  

The second component of the allowance for credit losses covers all receivables that have not been individually reviewed for impairment. 
The allowance for these receivables is based on aggregated portfolio evaluations, generally by financial product. The allowance for wholesale 
and retail credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss 
experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation 
is adjusted for forward looking macroeconomic factors. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models 
are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a 
degree of management judgment. 

Allowance for credit losses activity for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESAt December 31, 2021, the allowance for credit losses includes a reduction in retail reserves primarily due to the improved outlook for 
the agricultural industry and a reduced expected impact on credit conditions from the COVID-19 pandemic. CNH Industrial continues to 
monitor the situation and will update the macroeconomic factors and qualitative factors in future periods, as warranted.

At December 31, 2020, the allowance for credit losses was based on CNH Industrial’s expectation of deteriorating credit conditions related 
to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Finance  lease  receivables  mainly  relate  to  Agriculture  and  Construction  equipment  leased  out  under  finance  lease  arrangements.  The 
interest rate implicit in the lease is determined at the commencement of the lease for the whole lease term. The average interest rate implicit 
in total finance lease receivables varies depending on prevailing market interest rates.

Troubled Debt Restructurings 
A restructuring of a receivable constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when the lender grants a concession it would not otherwise 
consider to a borrower that is experiencing financial difficulties. As a collateral-based lender, CNH Industrial typically will repossess collateral 
in lieu of restructuring receivables. As such, for retail receivables, concessions are typically provided based on bankruptcy court proceedings. 
For wholesale receivables, concessions granted may include extended contract maturities, inclusion of interest-only periods, modification of 
a contractual interest rate to a below market interest rate and waiving of interest and principal.

TDRs are reviewed along with other receivables as part of management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit 
losses. The allowance for credit losses attributable to TDRs is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the 
liquidation of the collateral. In determining collateral value, CNH Industrial estimates the current fair market value of the equipment collateral 
and considers credit enhancements such as additional collateral and third-party guarantees.

Before removing a receivable from TDR classification, a review of the borrower is conducted. If concerns exist about the future ability of the 
borrower to meet its obligations based on a credit review, the TDR classification is not removed from the receivable.

As of December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial had 173 retail and finance lease contracts classified as TDRs in North America where a court has 
determined the concession. The pre-modification value of these contracts was $4 million and the post-modification value was $4 million. 
Additionally, CNH Industrial had 332 accounts with a balance of $22 million in North America undergoing bankruptcy proceedings where 
a concession has not yet been determined. As of December 31, 2020, CNH Industrial had 253 retail and finance lease contracts classified 
as TDRs in North America where a court has determined the concession. The pre-modification value of these contracts was $9 million 
and  the  post-modification  value  was  $8  million.  Additionally,  CNH  Industrial  had  362  accounts  with  a  balance  of  $26  million  in  North 
America undergoing bankruptcy proceedings where a concession has not yet been determined. As the outcome of the bankruptcy cases 
is determined by a court based on available assets, subsequent re-defaults are unusual and were not material for retail and finance lease 
contracts that were modified in a TDR during the previous twelve months ended December 31, 2021 and 2020.

As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, CNH Industrial’s wholesale TDRs were immaterial.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESOther current receivables
At December 31, 2021, Other current receivables mainly consisted of other tax receivables for VAT and other indirect taxes of $638 million 
($723 million at December 31, 2020), and receivables from employees of $11 million ($20 million at December 31, 2020).

Other current financial assets
At  December  31,  2021,  and  2020,  Other  current  financial  assets  primarily  consist  of  current  securities  and  short-term  deposits  and 
investments.

Refer to Note 30 “Information on financial risks” for additional information on the credit risk to which CNH Industrial is exposed and the 
way it is managed by the Group. 

Transfers of financial receivables
The Group transfers a number of its financial receivables to securitization programs or factoring transactions.

A securitization transaction entails the sale of a portfolio of receivables to a securitization vehicle. This structured entity finances the purchase 
of the receivables by issuing asset-backed securities (i.e., securities whose repayment and interest flow depend upon the cash flow generated 
by the portfolio). Asset-backed securities are divided into classes according to their degree of seniority and rating: the most senior classes 
are placed with investors on the market; the junior class, whose repayment is subordinated to the senior classes, is normally subscribed for 
by the seller. The residual interest in the receivables retained by the seller is therefore limited to the junior securities it has subscribed for. In 
accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements, all securitization vehicles are included in the scope of consolidation because the 
subscription of the junior asset-backed securities by the seller implies its control in substance over the structured entity.

Furthermore, factoring transactions may be either with recourse or without recourse; certain without recourse transfers include deferred 
payment clauses (for example, when the payment by the factor of a minor part of the purchase price is dependent on the total amount 
collected from the receivables), requiring first loss cover, meaning that the transferor takes priority participation in the losses, or requires 
a significant exposure to the cash flows arising from the transferred receivables to be retained. These types of transactions do not comply 
with the requirements of IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments for the derecognition of the assets, since the risks and rewards connected with 
collection are not substantially transferred and, accordingly, the Group continues to recognize the receivables transferred by this means in its 
consolidated statement of financial position and recognizes a financial liability of the same amount under Asset-backed financing (see Note 
24 “Debt”). The gains and losses arising from the transfer of these assets are only recognized when the assets are derecognized. 

At December 31, 2021 and 2020, the carrying amount of such transferred financial assets not derecognized and the related liability and the 
respective fair values were as follows:

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES18.  Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities
These items consist of derivative financial instruments measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. 

CNH Industrial utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Derivatives used 
as hedges are effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and are designated as a hedge at the inception of 
the derivative contract. CNH Industrial does not hold or enter into derivative or other financial instruments for speculative purposes. The 
credit and market risk related to derivatives is reduced through diversification among various counterparties, utilizing mandatory termination 
clauses and/or collateral support agreements. Derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. 

In accordance with IFRS 9, derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting only when, at the inception of the hedge, there is 
formal designation and documentation of the hedging relationship, there is an economic relationship between the hedging instrument and 
the hedged item, credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from the economic relationship, and the hedging relationship’s 
hedging ratio reflects the actual quantity of the hedging instrument and the hedged item. Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception 
of the hedge relationship and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between 
the hedged item and hedging instrument.

Further description of the risk management exposures and strategies for interest rate and currency risk is presented in Note 30 “Information 
on financial risks”, paragraph “Market risk” together with sensitivity analysis assessing the potential impact of changes in interest rates and 
foreign currencies.

In 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the economic environment. With regard to hedge accounting, CNH Industrial 
continues to monitor significant developments in order to assess the potential future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hedging 
relationships in place and to update its estimates concerning whether forecasted transactions can still be considered highly likely to occur.

Foreign Exchange Derivatives
CNH Industrial has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and swaps in order to manage and preserve the economic value 
of cash flows in a currency different from the functional currency of the relevant legal entity. CNH Industrial conducts its business on a 
global basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies and hedges foreign currency exposures arising from various receivables, liabilities, and 
expected  inventory  purchases  and  sales.  Derivative  instruments  utilized  to  hedge  the  foreign  currency  risk  associated  with  anticipated 
inventory purchases and sales in foreign currencies are designated as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on these instruments are deferred 
in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and recognized in earnings when the related transaction occurs. 

For hedging cash flows in a currency different from the functional currency, the hedge relationship reflects the hedge ratio of 1:1, which 
means that relationship is characterized by the value of the hedging instrument and the value of the hedged item moving in the opposite 
direction as a result of the common underlying of hedged risk.

The main sources of hedge ineffectiveness are:

	 the effect of the counterparty and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the foreign exchange derivatives, which is not reflected 
in the change in the fair value of the hedged cash flow attributable to the change in the exchange rates, and 

	 changes in timing of the hedged transaction.

Ineffectiveness  related  to  these  hedge  relationships  is  recognized  in  the  consolidated  income  statement  in  the  line  “Financial  income/
(expenses)” and was not significant for all periods presented. The maturity of these instruments does not exceed 24 months and the after-
tax gains/(losses) deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) that will be recognized in net revenues and cost of sales over 
the next twelve months, assuming foreign exchange rates remain unchanged, is approximately $-25 million. If a derivative instrument is 
terminated because the hedge relationship is no longer effective or because the hedged item is a forecasted transaction that is no longer 
determined to be probable, the cumulative amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) is recognized immediately 
in earnings. Such amounts were insignificant in all periods presented.

CNH Industrial also uses forwards and swaps to hedge certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Such derivatives are 
considered economic hedges and not designated as hedging instruments. The changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized 
directly in income in “Financial income/(expenses)” and are expected to offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the exposures being 
managed.

All of CNH Industrial’s foreign exchange derivatives are considered Level 2 as the fair value is calculated using market data input and can be 
compared to actively traded derivatives. 

185

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESInterest Rate Derivatives
CNH Industrial has entered into interest rate derivatives (swaps and caps) in order to manage interest rate exposures arising in the normal 
course of business. Interest rate derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges are being used by CNH Industrial to mitigate the 
risk of rising interest rates related to existing debt and anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt in future periods. Gains and losses on these 
instruments, to the extent that the hedge relationship has been effective, are deferred in other comprehensive income/(loss) and recognized 
in “Financial income/(expenses)” over the period in which CNH Industrial recognizes interest expense on the related debt. The after-tax 
gains/(losses) deferred in other comprehensive income/(loss) that will be recognized in interest expense over the next twelve months are 
insignificant. 

Interest rate derivatives that have been designated as fair value hedge relationships have been used by CNH Industrial to mitigate the 
volatility in the fair value of existing fixed rate bonds and medium-term notes due to changes in floating interest rate benchmarks. Gains and 
losses on these instruments are recorded in “Financial income/(expenses)” in the period in which they occur and an offsetting gain or loss 
is also reflected in “Financial income/(expenses)” based on changes in the fair value of the debt instrument being hedged due to changes in 
floating interest rate benchmarks. 

For hedging interest rate exposures, the hedge relationship reflects the hedge ratio 1:1, which means that relationship is characterized by the 
value of the hedging instrument and the value of the hedged item that move in the opposite direction as a result of the common underlying 
of hedged risk.

The main sources of hedge ineffectiveness are:

	 the effect of the counterparty and the Group’s own credit risk on the fair value of the swaps, which is not reflected in the change in the 
fair value of the hedged cash flow attributable to the change in the interest rates, and 

	 differences in repricing dates between the swaps and the borrowings.

Any ineffectiveness is recorded in “Financial income/(expenses)” in the consolidated income statement and its amount was insignificant for 
all periods presented. 

CNH  Industrial  also  enters  into  offsetting  interest  rate  derivatives  with  substantially  similar  terms  that  are  not  designated  as  hedging 
instruments, to mitigate interest rate risk related to CNH Industrial’s committed asset-backed facilities. Unrealized and realized gains and 
losses resulting from fair value changes in these instruments are recognized directly in income. Net gains and losses on these instruments 
were insignificant for the years ending December 31, 2021 and 2020. All of CNH Industrial’s interest rate derivatives outstanding as of 
December 31, 2021 and 2020 are considered Level 2. The fair market value of these derivatives is calculated using market data input and can 
be compared to actively traded derivatives.

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 109,904 and 16,623,012 special voting shares, respectively, were acquired by the 
Company following the de-registration of the corresponding number of qualifying common shares from the Loyalty Register, net of transfer 
and allocation of special voting shares in accordance with the Special Voting Shares - Terms and Conditions. 

Furthermore, during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company delivered 2.2 million and 3.8 million common shares, 
respectively, under the Company’s stock compensation plan, primarily due to the vesting or exercise of share-based awards. See paragraph 
below “Share-based compensation” for further discussion.

The Company is required to maintain a special capital reserve to be credited against the share premium exclusively for the purpose of 
facilitating any issuance or cancellation of special voting shares. The special voting shares do not carry any entitlement to the balance of the 
special capital reserve. The Board of Directors is authorized to resolve upon (i) any distribution out of the special capital reserve to pay up 
special voting shares or (ii) re-allocation of amounts to credit or debit the special capital reserve against or in favor of the share premium 
reserve. 

The Company is required to maintain a separate dividend reserve for the special voting shares. The special voting shares shall not carry any 
entitlement to any other reserve of the Company. Any distribution out of the special voting shares dividend reserve or the partial or full 
release of such reserve will require a prior proposal from the Board of Directors and a subsequent resolution of the general meeting of 
holders of special voting shares.

From the profits, shown in the annual accounts, as adopted, such amounts shall be reserved as the Board of Directors may determine. 

The profits remaining thereafter shall first be applied to allocate and add to the special voting shares dividend reserve an amount equal to 
one percent (1%) of the aggregate nominal amount of all outstanding special voting shares. The calculation of the amount to be allocated and 
added to the special voting shares dividend reserve shall occur on a time-proportionate basis. If special voting shares are issued during the 
financial year to which the allocation and addition pertains, then the amount to be allocated and added to the special voting shares dividend 
reserve in respect of these newly issued special voting shares shall be calculated as from the date on which such special voting shares were 
issued until the last day of the financial year concerned. The special voting shares shall not carry any other entitlement to the profits. 

Any profits remaining thereafter shall be at the disposal of the general meeting of shareholders for distribution of dividend on the common 
shares only subject to the provision that the distribution of profits shall be made after the adoption of the annual accounts, from which it 
appears that the same is permitted.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESSubject to a prior proposal of the Board of Directors, the general meeting of shareholders may declare and pay dividends in U.S. dollars. 
Furthermore, subject to the approval of the general meeting of shareholders and the Board of Directors having been designated as the body 
competent to pass a resolution for the issuance of shares in accordance with Article 5 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors 
may decide that a distribution shall be made in the form of shares or that shareholders shall be given the option to receive a distribution 
either in cash or in the form of shares. 

On March 1, 2022, the Board of Directors of CNH Industrial N.V. recommended and proposed to the Company’s shareholders that the 
Company declare a dividend of €0.28 per common share, totaling approximately €380 million (equivalent to approximately $426 million, 
translated at the exchange rate reported by the European Central Bank on February 25, 2022). The proposal is subject to the approval of 
the Company’s shareholders at the AGM to be held on April 13, 2022. 

On April 15, 2021, at the AGM, CNH Industrial N.V. shareholders approved a dividend of €0.11 per common share, as recommended on 
March 3, 2021 by the Board of Directors. The cash dividend was declared in euro and paid on May 5, 2021 for a total amount of $178 million 
(€149 million).

The Company shall only have power to make distributions to shareholders and other persons entitled to distributable profits to the extent 
the Company’s equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up portion of the share capital and the reserves that must be maintained in accordance 
with provision of law. No distribution of profits may be made to the Company itself for shares that the Company holds in its own share 
capital. 

The Board of Directors has the power to declare one or more interim dividends, provided that the requirements of the Article 22 paragraph 
5 of the Articles of Association are duly observed as evidenced by an interim statement of assets and liabilities as referred to in Article 2:105 
paragraph 4 of the Dutch Civil Code and provided further that the policy of the Company on additions to reserves and dividends is duly 
observed. The provisions of the Article 22 paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Articles of Association shall apply mutatis mutandis.

The Board of Directors may determine that dividends or interim dividends, as the case may be, shall be paid, in whole or in part, from the 
Company’s share premium reserve or from any other reserve, provided that payments from reserves may only be made to the shareholders 
that are entitled to the relevant reserve upon the dissolution of the Company. 

Dividends and other distributions of profit shall be made payable in the manner and at such date(s) - within four weeks after declaration 
thereof - and notice thereof shall be given, as the general meeting of shareholders, or in the case of interim dividends, the Board of Directors 
shall determine, provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall have the right to determine that each payment of annual dividends in 
respect of shares be deferred for a period not exceeding five consecutive annual periods. Dividends and other distributions of profit, which 
have not been collected within five years and one day after the same have become payable, shall become the property of the Company. 

In the event of a winding-up, a resolution to dissolve the Company can only be passed by a general meeting of shareholders pursuant to a 
prior proposal of the Board of Directors. In the event a resolution is passed to dissolve the Company, the Company shall be wound-up by 
the Board of Directors, unless the general meeting of shareholders would resolve otherwise. 

The general meeting of shareholders shall appoint and decide on the remuneration of the liquidators. 

Until the winding-up of the Company has been completed, the Articles of Association of the Company shall to the extent possible, remain 
in full force and effect. 

Effects of the Demerger on the share capital of CNH Industrial N.V.
On January 1, 2022, the share capital of CNH Industrial N.V. did not change as result of the Demerger. CNH Industrial N.V. also did not 
receive any shares in Iveco Group N.V. as a part of the Demerger, as the portion of the shares held in treasury buy CNH Industrial N.V. was 
not eligible to be part of the Demerger and consequent allotment of Iveco Group N.V. shares.

Policies and processes for managing capital
The objectives identified by the Group for managing capital are to create value for shareholders as a whole, safeguard business continuity 
and support the growth of the Group. As a result, the Group endeavors to maintain an adequate level of capital that at the same time 
enables it to obtain a satisfactory economic return for its shareholders and maintain access to external sources of funds, including by means 
of achieving an adequate rating.

The Group regularly monitors its debt/equity ratio and in particular the level of net debt and the generation of cash from Industrial Activities.

To reach these objectives the Group aims at a continuous improvement in the profitability of the business in which it operates. Further, in 
general, the Group may sell part of its assets to reduce the level of its debt, while the Board of Directors may make proposals to shareholders 
in general meeting to reduce or increase share capital or, where permitted by law, to distribute reserves.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESThe Company shall at all times have the authority to acquire fully paid-up shares in its own share capital, provided that such acquisition is 
made for no consideration (om niet). 

The Company shall also have authority to acquire fully paid-up shares in its own share capital for consideration, if: 

	 the general meeting of shareholders has authorized the Board of Directors to make such acquisition – which authorization shall be valid 
for no more than eighteen months – and has specified the number of shares which may be acquired, the manner in which they may be 
acquired and the limits within which the price must be set; 

	 the Company’s equity, after deduction of the acquisition price of the relevant shares, is not less than the sum of the paid-up portion of the 
share capital and the reserves that have to be maintained by provision of law; and 

	 the aggregate par value of the shares to be acquired and the shares in its share capital the Company already holds, holds as pledgee or 
are held by a subsidiary, does not amount to more than one half of the aggregate par value of the issued share capital. 

If no annual accounts have been confirmed and adopted when more than six months have expired after the end of any financial year, then 
the Group is not allowed any acquisition under Dutch law. 

No  authorization  shall  be  required,  if  the  Company  acquires  its  own  shares  for  the  purpose  of  transferring  the  same  to  directors  or 
employees of the Company or a Group company as defined in Article 2:24b of the Dutch Civil Code, under a scheme applicable to such 
employees. Such own shares must be officially listed on a price list of an exchange. 

The preceding provisions shall not apply to shares which the Company acquires under universal title of succession (algemene titel). 

No voting rights may be exercised in the general meeting of shareholders for any share held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. 
Beneficiaries of a life interest on shares that are held by the Company and its subsidiaries are not excluded from exercising the voting rights 
provided that the life interest was created before the shares were held by the Company or any of its subsidiaries. The Company or any of 
its subsidiaries may not exercise voting rights for shares in respect of which it holds a usufruct. 

Any acquisition by the Company of shares that have not been fully paid up shall be void. 

Any disposal of shares held by the Company requires approval of the Board of Directors. Such approval shall also stipulate the conditions 
of the disposal. 

Loyalty voting program
In order to reward long-term ownership of the Company’s common shares and promote stability of its shareholder base, the Articles of 
Association of CNH Industrial N.V. provide for a loyalty-voting program that grants eligible long-term shareholders the equivalent of two 
votes for each CNH Industrial N.V. common share that they hold. This has been accomplished through the issuance of special voting shares. 

A shareholder may at any time elect to participate in the loyalty voting program by requesting the registration of all or some of the common 
shares held by such shareholder in a separate register (the “Loyalty Register”) of the Company. If such common shares have been registered 
in the Loyalty Register for an uninterrupted period of three years in the name of the same shareholder, such shares will become “Qualifying 
Common Shares” and the relevant shareholder will be entitled to receive one special voting share for each such Qualifying Common Share 
which can be retained only for so long as the shareholder retains the associated common share and registers it in the Loyalty Register.

Shareholders are not required to pay any amount to the Company in connection with the allocation of the special voting shares.

The common shares are freely transferable, while, special voting shares are transferable exclusively in limited circumstances and they are 
not listed on the NYSE or the Euronext Milan. In particular, at any time, a holder of common shares that are Qualifying Common Shares 
who wants to transfer such common shares other than in limited specified circumstances (e.g., transfers to affiliates or relatives through 
succession, donation or other transfers) must request a de-registration of such Qualifying Common Shares from the Loyalty Register. After 
de-registration from the Loyalty Register, such common shares no longer qualify as Qualifying Common Shares and, as a result, the holder 
of such common shares is required to transfer the special voting shares associated with the transferred common shares to the Company 
for no consideration. 

The special voting shares have minimal economic entitlements as the purpose of the special voting shares is to grant long-term shareholders 
with an extra voting right by means of granting an additional special voting share, without granting such shareholders with any additional 
economic  rights.  However,  as  a  matter  of  Dutch  law,  such  special  voting  shares  cannot  be  fully  excluded  from  economic  entitlements. 
Therefore, the Articles of Association provide that only a minimal dividend accrues to the special voting shares, which is not distributed, but 
allocated to a separate special dividend reserve. The impact of this special voting dividend reserve on the earnings per share of the common 
shares is not material.

192

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESTreasury shares
In order to maintain the necessary operating flexibility over an adequate time period, including the implementation of the program in place, 
on April 15, 2021, the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) granted to the Board of Directors the authority to acquire common shares in the 
capital of the Company through stock exchange trading on the Euronext Milan and the NYSE or otherwise for a period of 18 months (i.e., 
up to and including October 14, 2022). Under such authorization the Board’s authority is limited to a maximum of up to 10% of the issued 
common shares as of the date of the AGM and, in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, subject to a maximum price per common 
share equal to the average of the highest price on each of the five trading days prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price 
List of the Euronext Milan or NYSE (as the case may be) plus 10% (maximum price) and to a minimum price per common share equal to the 
average of the lowest price on each of the five trading days prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the Euronext 
Milan or NYSE (as the case may be) minus 10% (minimum price). Neither the renewal of the authorization, nor the launch of any program 
obliges the Company to buy-back any common shares. The launch of any new program will be subject to a further resolution of the Board of 
Director. In any event, such programs may be suspended, discontinued or modified at any time for any reason and without previous notice, 
in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

During the year ended  December  31, 2021, the Company repurchased no shares of its common stock on the Euronext Milan and on 
multilateral  trading  facilities  (“MTFs”)  under  the  buy-back  program.  As  of  December 31,  2021,  the  Company  held  8.3 million  common 
shares in treasury, net of transfers of common shares to fulfill its obligations under its stock compensation plans, at an aggregate cost of 
$80.6  million.  Depending  on  market  and  business  conditions  and  other  factors,  the  Company  may  continue  or  suspend  purchasing  its 
common stock at any time without notice. 

At the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors intends to recommend to the Company’s shareholders the 
renewal of the authorization to repurchase up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s issued common shares.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company acquired 109,904 special voting shares following the de-registration of qualifying 
common shares from the Loyalty Register, net of the transfer and allocation of special voting shares to those shareholders whose qualifying 
common shares became eligible to receive special voting shares after the uninterrupted three-year registration period in the Loyalty Register. 
As of December 31, 2021, the Company held 25.3 million special voting shares in treasury.

Effects of the Demerger on the treasury shares held CNH Industrial N.V.
On January 1, 2022, CNH Industrial N.V. did not receive any shares in Iveco Group N.V. as a part of the Demerger as the portion of the 
shares held in treasury by CNH Industrial N.V. was not eligible to be part of the Demerger and consequent allotment of Iveco Group N.V. 
shares.

Capital reserves
At December 31, 2021 capital reserves, amounting to $3,294 million ($3,220 million at December 31, 2020), mainly consisted of the share 
premium deriving from the merger occurred in 2013 between Fiat Industrial and its majority owned subsidiary CNH Global.

Effects of the Demerger on the capital reserves of CNH Industrial N.V. 
As a consequence of the Demerger, on January 1, 2022, capital reserves of CNH Industrial N.V. decreased by $2,581 million to $713 million.

Earnings reserves
Earnings reserves, amounting to $7,795 million at December 31, 2021 ($6,211 million at December 31, 2020), mainly consist of retained 
earnings and profits attributable to the owners of the parent.

Effects of the Demerger on the earnings reserves of CNH Industrial N.V. 
On January 1, 2022, there were no impacts on earnings reserves as a results of the Demerger.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESShare-based compensation 
For  the  years  ended  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  Continuing  Operations  recognized  total  share-based  compensation  expense  of 
$78 million and $31 million, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, Continuing Operations recognized a total 
tax benefit relating to share-based compensation expense of $3 million and $2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, Continuing 
Operations had unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested awards of approximately $37 million based on 
current assumptions related to achievement of specified performance objectives, when applicable. Unrecognized share-based compensation 
costs will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.1 years.

CNH Industrial’s equity awards are governed by the CNH Industrial N.V. Equity Incentive Plan (“CNH Industrial EIP”) and CNH Industrial 
N.V. Directors’ Compensation Plan (“CNH Industrial DCP”).

At the AGM held on April 16, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the CNH Industrial EIP, an umbrella program 
defining the terms and conditions for any subsequent long-term incentive program. The EIP allows grants of the following specific types of 
equity awards to any current or prospective executive director, officer, employee of, or service provider to, CNH Industrial: stock options, 
stock appreciation rights, restricted share units, restricted stock, performance shares or performance share units and other stock-based 
awards  that  are  payable  in  cash,  common  shares  or  any  combination  thereof  subject  to  the  terms  and  conditions  established  by  the 
Compensation Committee.

In February 2020, the Board of Directors approved the issuance of up to 50 million common shares under the EIP. At the AGM on April 16, 
2020, the Company’s shareholders approved the issuance of up to 7 million common shares to executive directors under the 2021-2023 
Long-Term Incentive Plan (described below) in accordance with and under the EIP.

As part of the Demerger, any awards outstanding under the CNH Industrial EIP, and held by directors, officers and other employees vesting 
in 2022 were accelerated in December 2021 and the related equity incentives were issued by CNH Industrial in CNH Industrial stock. As 
a result of the Demerger, remaining outstanding awards vesting in 2023 and 2024 were converted to the entity the participant is employed 
with post spin. As such, for Iveco Group employees, the underlying stock awards under the CNH Industrial EIP vesting in 2023 and 2024 
were converted at the effective date of the Demerger, subject to its terms, to Common Shares of Iveco Group N.V. The conversion of 
the CNH Industrial EIP includes appropriate adjustment mechanisms to ensure that the value of the unvested awards granted to all the 
beneficiaries under such plan remain unchanged pre and post Demerger for employees in both the Iveco Group N.V. and CNH Industrial 
N.V.

Performance Share Units
2017-2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan

In December 2017, CNH Industrial canceled all Performance Share Units (“PSU’s”) issued in 2014, 2015 and 2016 and issued a grant of 
PSU’s to key executive officers and select employees, with financial performance goals covering the three-year period from January 1, 2017 
to December 31, 2019. The performance goal was a market condition with a payout schedule ranging from 0% to 130%. In 2019 and 2020, 
prorated share amounts covering performance through this same period were issued to select new employees entering the plan. In 2019 
and 2020, 0.6 million and 0.4 million additional PSU’s were granted. On February 28, 2020 all PSU’s associated with these grants failed to 
meet their performance goals and were therefore forfeited. CNH Industrial still incurred the expense associated with these awards but the 
awards themselves were never issued to their recipients.

2021-2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan

In February 2020, the Board of Directors approved the 2021-2023 Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  under the EIP. In December 2020,  CNH 
Industrial issued a new grant of PSUs to its key executive officers and select employees with the financial performance goals covering a three-
year period culminating with a cliff vest date of February 28, 2024. Two internal financial metrics, Industrial ROIC (the ratio of Adjusted EBIT 
(after-tax) over Average Industrial Invested Capital) and Adjusted EPS (the net income (loss) excluding any nonrecurring items (after-tax), 
divided by the weighted average outstanding number of common shares on a fully diluted basis), weighted 50% each, and a multiplier-based 
on CNH Industrial’s percentile ranking of Total Shareholder Return among a comparator group, will determine the total PSUs earned. The 
internal financial metrics have a payout factor of up to 200% and the market based TSR determinant has a payout factor of 125%. These 
metrics are considered performance vesting conditions. As such, compensation cost will be accrued based on whether it is considered 
probable that the performance conditions will be satisfied. The fair value of the PSU awards issued under this plan will be calculated by using 
the CNH Industrial N.V. stock price on the grant date adjusted for the present value of future dividends that would not be received during 
the vesting period.

As of December 31, 2020 CNH Industrial issued 7 million PSUs. The total number of shares that will eventually be issued may vary from the 
original estimate due to forfeiture or the level of achievement of the performance goals.

195

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESThe weighted average fair value of the awards that were issued in 2020 was $10.83 per share. The 2020 PSU awards distributed under this 
plan were issued on December 4, 2020 to key executive officers and select employees and on December 14, 2020 to the Chair of CNH 
Industrial.

During 2021, CNH Industrial issued an additional 3 million PSUs to key executive officers and select employees. The weighted average fair 
value of the awards that were issued in 2021 was $13.15 per share. 

The following table reflects the activity of PSUs under the 2017-2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan and 2021-2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan for

Restricted Share Units
In 2019, 2020 and 2021 CNH Industrial issued approximately 0.8 million, 8 million, and 1 million Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) to key 
executive officers and select employees with a weighted average fair value of $9.95, $10.90 and $14.42 per share, respectively. The fair value 
of the award is measured using the CNH Industrial N.V. stock price on the grant date adjusted for the present value of future dividends that 
employees will not receive during the vesting period. The RSUs vest upon a time-based service requirement.

2017-2019 Long-Term Incentive Plan

On April 3, 2019, 536 thousand RSUs were issued to select key executive officers with a weighted average fair value of $10.18 measured 
using the stock price on the grant date adjusted for the present value of future dividends that would not be received during the vesting 
period. The grant had a cliff vest date of February 1, 2021 for all awards except for 32 thousand RSUs, which vested on June 30, 2020. Of 
the remaining 490 thousand RSUs, 162 thousand were forfeited in the second quarter of 2020. The remaining 296 thousand RSUs vested 
on February 1, 2021.

2021-2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan

On December 4, 2020, CNH Industrial issued two separate RSU grants to key executive officers and select employees. Under the first 
RSU grant, 1.7 million RSUs were awarded to select employees with a weighted average fair value of $11.43. These awards vested on 
December 31, 2020. Under the second RSU grant, 5 million RSUs were awarded to select employees and are set to vest in three equal 
installments over a three year period. The first tranche which consisted of 1.7 million RSUs was set to vest on April 30, 2022. The second 
and third tranches are set to vest on April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2024, respectively. The weighted average fair value for the December 2020 
three tranche award group are $11.23, $11.02, and $10.82, respectively.

On  December  14,  2020,  CNH  Industrial  issued  120  thousand  RSUs  to  the  Chair  of  CNH  Industrial,  of  which  17  thousand  vested  on 
December 31, 2020. The weighted average fair value for these awards is $10.96. The remaining 103 thousand RSUs vest in three equal 
installments on February 28, 2022, 2023, and 2024, respectively. The fair value for these awards are $10.76, $10.55 and $10.35, respectively.

During 2021, CNH Industrial issued an additional 1.5  million RSUs to select employees and key executive officers. Of the awards that 
were issued, 1.2 million are set to vest in three equal installments over a three year period. The first tranche, which consists of 0.4 million 
RSUs, was set to vest on April 30, 2022. The second and third tranches are set to vest on April 30, 2023 and April 30, 2024, respectively. 
The weighted average fair value of these awards are $14.08 per share for the first tranche, $13.89 per share for the second tranche, and 
$13.71 per share for the third tranche. The remaining awards issued in 2021 had a cumulative weighted average fair value of $16.71. In 2021, 
CNH Industrial, in anticipation of the Demerger, accelerated the vesting of awards with a vest date of April 31, 2022 to December 1, 2021, 
excluding shares awarded to the CEO and Chairperson. As a result CNH Industrial recorded $6 million of expense due to the acceleration 
of these awards. The weighted average fair value of the shares vested during 2021 was $11.59 per share.

CNH Industrial N.V. Directors’ Compensation Plan (“CNH Industrial DCP”) 
On September  9, 2013, the CNH Industrial DCP was approved by the shareholders and adopted by the Board of Directors of CNH 
Industrial N.V. On April 14, 2017, shareholders approved a proposed amendment to the CNH Industrial DCP pursuant to which non-
executive directors would only be paid cash compensation for their service as a director. The CNH Industrial DCP provides for the payment 
of the following to eligible members of the CNH Industrial N.V. Board in the form of cash, provided that such members do not receive salary 
or other employment compensation from CNH Industrial N.V. or FCA, and their subsidiaries and affiliates:

	 $125,000 annual retainer fee for each Non-Executive Director.

	 An additional $25,000 for each member of the Audit Committee and $35,000 for the Audit Committee Chairperson.

	 An additional $20,000 for each member of every other Board committee and $25,000 for the committee chairperson (collectively, the 
“fees”).

Prior to the amendment of the CNH Industrial DCP, each quarter of the CNH Industrial DCP year, the eligible directors could elect to 
receive cash, common shares or stock options.

There were 0.2 million common shares authorized for issuance under the CNH Industrial DCP. No stock options were issued under this 
plan in 2021 or 2020 and as of December 31, 2021, no stock options were outstanding under the CNH Industrial DCP.

22.  Provisions for employee benefits 
CNH Industrial provides pension, healthcare and insurance plans and other post-employment benefits to their employees and retirees, either 
directly or by contributing to independently administered funds. The way these benefits are provided varies according to the legal, fiscal and 
economic conditions of each country in which the Group operates, the benefits generally being based on the employees’ remuneration and 
years of service. CNH Industrial provides post-employment benefits under defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

In the case of defined contribution plans, CNH Industrial makes contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans 
on a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. Once the contributions have been made, CNH Industrial has no further payment obligations. 
CNH Industrial recognizes the contribution cost when the employees have rendered their service and includes this cost by function in Cost 
of sales, Selling, general and administrative costs and Research and development costs. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 
2020, CNH Industrial recorded expenses of $315 million and $261 million, respectively, for its defined contribution plans, inclusive of social 
security contributions.

Defined benefit plans may be unfunded, or they may be wholly or partly funded by contributions made by an entity, and sometimes by 
its employees, into an entity, or fund, that is legally separate from the employer from which the employee benefits are paid. Benefits are 
generally payable under these plans after the completion of employment. Defined benefit plans are classified by CNH Industrial on the basis 
of the type of benefit provided as follows: Pension plans, Healthcare plans, and Other post-employment benefits.

197

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESPension plans
Pension obligations primarily comprise the obligations of CNH Industrial’s pension plans in the U.S., the U.K., and Germany. 

Under these plans, contributions are made to a separate fund (trust) that independently administers the plan assets. CNH Industrial’s funding 
policy is to contribute amounts to the plan equal to the amounts required to meet 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 States and the U.K. CNH Industrial may 
also choose to make discretionary contributions in addition to the funding requirements. To the extent that a fund is overfunded, the Group 
is not required to make further contribution to the plan in respect of minimum performance requirements so long as the fund is in surplus.

In the fourth quarter of 2020, CNH Industrial signed group annuity contracts to transfer the outstanding pension benefit obligations related 
to  certain  retirees  and  beneficiaries  within  the  U.S.  plans.  In  connection  with  these  transactions,  $551  million  of  plan  obligations  were 
transferred along with $550 million of plan assets; the related non-cash settlement impact recognized in the income statement in the fourth 
quarter of 2020 was immaterial. 

Healthcare plans
Healthcare plan obligations comprise obligations for healthcare and insurance plans granted to CNH Industrial employees working in the 
U.S. 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. CNH Industrial U.S. 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 the CNH Industrial plans. These 
benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions and other limitations, and CNH Industrial has reserved the right to change 
or terminate these benefits, subject to the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement. These plans are not required to be funded. 
However, beginning in 2007, CNH Industrial began making contributions on a voluntary basis to a separate and independently managed fund 
established to finance the North American healthcare plans. 

In 2021, CNH Industrial communicated plan changes for the US retiree medical plan. The plan changes resulted in a reduction of the plan 
liability by $100 million, recognized immediately in profit or loss as a pre-tax plan amendment gain of the same amount.

Other post-employment benefits
Other post-employment benefits consist of obligations 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 Italian legal entities. 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 bonus is 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.

Provisions for employee benefits at December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:

classified as Liabilities held for distribution and Defined benefit plan assets of $17 million were classified as Assets held for distribution. 

The item Other provisions for employees consists of the best estimate at the balance sheet date of short-term employee benefits payable 
by the Group within twelve months from the end of the period in which the employees render the related service.

The item Other long-term employee benefits consists of the Group’s obligation for those benefits generally payable during employment on 
reaching a certain level of seniority in the company or when a specified event occurs, and reflects the probability of payment and the length 
of time over which this will be made.

(*)  CNH Industrial expects to achieve the ultimate healthcare cost trend rate in 2028 for U.S. plans. A flat trend rate assumption is utilized for the Canada plans.

Assumed discount rates are used in measurements of pension, healthcare and other post-employment benefit obligations and net interest 
on the net defined benefit liability/asset. CNH Industrial selects its assumed discount rates based on the consideration of equivalent yields 
on high-quality fixed income investments at the measurement date. The assumed discount rate is used to discount future benefit obligations 
back to today’s dollars. The discount rates for the U.S., European, U.K. and Canadian obligations are based on a benefit cash flow-matching 
approach and represent the rates at which the benefit obligations could effectively be settled as of the measurement date, December 31. 
The benefit cash flow-matching approach involves analyzing CNH Industrial’s projected cash flows against a high-quality bond yield curve, 
mainly  calculated  using  a  wide  population  of  AA-grade  corporate  bonds  subject  to  minimum  amounts  outstanding  and  meeting  other 
defined selection criteria. The discount rates for the CNH Industrial’s remaining obligations are based on benchmark yield data of high-
quality fixed income investments for which the timing and amounts of payments approximate the timing and amounts of projected benefit 
payments.

The assumed healthcare trend rate represents the rate at which healthcare costs are assumed to increase. Rates are determined based on 
CNH Industrial’s specific experience, consultation with actuaries and outside consultants, and various trend factors including general and 
healthcare sector-specific inflation projections from the United States Department of Health and Human Services Healthcare Financing 
Administration. The initial trend is a short-term assumption based on recent experience and prevailing market conditions. The ultimate trend 
is a long-term assumption of healthcare cost inflation based on general inflation, incremental medical inflation, technology, new medicine, 
government cost-shifting, utilization changes, an aging population, and a changing mix of medical services. 

CNH Industrial reviews annually mortality assumptions and demographic characteristics of its U.S. pension plan participants. At December 31, 
2018 the Company has decided to use the variant of blue-collar table RP-2014 (with mortality improvement scale MP-2014 removed) as the 
base mortality table for the US pension plans and the no-collar variant RPH-2014 (with MP-2014 removed) as the base mortality table for 
the US healthcare plans together with the MP-2018 mortality improvement scale. 

In October 2019, the SOA issued an updated mortality base table (“Pri-2012”) as well as an updated mortality improvement scale (“MP-
2019”). In 2019, CNH Industrial adopted the variant of blue-collar tables of the Pri-2012 for the US pension plans and the no collar variant 
of the PriH-2012 for the US healthcare plans, including the new survivor mortality as well as MP-2019 mortality improvement scale. The 
adoption of the new mortality assumptions resulted in a total decrease of $14 million to CNH Industrial’s benefit obligations at December 31, 
2019, of which, $11 million and $3 million were related to pension plans and healthcare plans, respectively.

In 2020, CNH Industrial adopted the no-collar variant of the Pri-2012 base table for the US pension plans subsequent to the settlement of 
a portion of the outstanding pension obligation through purchase of annuity contracts. Additionally, CNH Industrial adopted the updated 
mortality improvement scale issued by the SOA (“MP-2020”). Management believes the new mortality assumptions most appropriately 
represent its plans’ experience and characteristics. The adoption of the new mortality assumptions resulted in a total increase of $7.8 million 
to CNH Industrial’s benefit obligations at December 31, 2020, of which an increase of $8.6 million, and a decrease of $0.8 million were 
related to pension plans and healthcare plans, respectively.

202

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES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. 

CNH Industrial uses the spot yield curve approach to estimate the service cost and net interest components by applying the specific spot 
rates along the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligations to relevant projected cash outflows. 

Assumed discount rates and healthcare cost trend rates have a significant effect on the amount recognized in the 2021 financial statements. 
A one percentage point change in the assumed discount rates would have the following effects:

($ million)

Plan assets
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 the rate 
of 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. Plan 
assets do not include treasury shares of CNH Industrial N.V. or properties occupied by Group companies. 

The fair value of plan assets at December 31, 2021 may be disaggregated by asset class and level as follows. Fair value levels presented below 
are described in the “Significant accounting policies – Fair value measurement” section of these Notes.

The warranty and technical assistance provision represents management’s best estimate of commitments given by the Group for contractual, 
legal or constructive obligations arising from product warranties given for a specified period of time which begins at the date of delivery 
to the customer. This estimate has been calculated considering past experience and specific contractual terms. This provision also includes 
management’s best estimate of the costs that are expected to be incurred in connection with product defects that could result in a larger 
recall of vehicles. This provision for risks is developed through an assessment of reported damages or returns on a case-by-case basis.

At December  31, 2021, the restructuring provision includes the estimated amount of benefits payable to employees on termination in 
connection with restructuring plans amounting to $19 million ($45 million at  December  31, 2020), and other costs totaling $13 million 
($33 million at December 31, 2020). 

204

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESThe provision for other risks represents the amounts set aside by the individual companies of the Group principally in connection with 
contractual and commercial risks and disputes. The more significant balances of this provision are as follows:

($ million)
Marketing and sales incentives programs
Commercial risks
Legal proceedings and other disputes
Environmental risks

	 Marketing and sales incentives program - this provision relate to sales incentives that are offered on a contractual basis to the dealer 
networks and primarily given if the dealers achieve a specific cumulative level of sales transactions during the calendar year. This provision 
is estimated based on information available for the sales made by the dealers during the calendar year.

	 Commercial risks - this provision relates to risks arising in connection with the sale of products and services.

	 Legal proceedings and other disputes - this provision represents management’s best estimate of the liability to be recognized by the Group 
with regard to: 

	 Legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business with dealers, customers, suppliers or regulators (such as contractual, patent 
or antitrust disputes).

	 Legal proceedings involving claims with active and former employees.

  None of these provisions is individually significant. Each Group company recognizes a provision for legal proceedings when it is deemed 
probable that the proceedings will result in an outflow of resources. In determining their best estimate of the probable liability, each Group 
company assesses its legal proceedings on a case-by-case basis to estimate the probable losses that typically arise from events of the type 
giving rise to the liability. Their estimate takes into account, as applicable, the views of legal counsel and other experts, the experience 
of the company and others in similar situations and the company’s intentions with regard to further action in each proceeding. CNH 
Industrial’s consolidated provision combines the individual provisions established by each of the Group’s companies.

	 Environmental risks – this provision represents management’s best estimate of the Group’s probable environmental obligations. Amounts 
included in the estimate comprise direct costs to be incurred in connection with environmental obligations associated with current or 
formerly owned facilities and sites. This provision also includes costs related to claims on environmental matters.

24.  Debt
Credit Facilities
Lenders of committed credit facilities have the obligation to make advances up to the facility amount. Lenders of uncommitted facilities have 
the right to terminate the agreement with prior notice to CNH Industrial. At December 31, 2021, Continuing Operations had available 
committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounting to $5.2 billion ($6.1 billion at December 31, 2020). 

In March 2019, CNH Industrial signed a five-year committed revolving credit facility for €4 billion ($4.5 billion at March 31, 2019 exchange 
rate) due to mature in 2024 with two extension options of 1-year each, exercisable on the first and second anniversary of the signing date. 
CNH Industrial exercised the first of the two extension options as of February 28, 2020 and the second extension option as of February 
26, 2021. The facility is now due to mature in March 2026 for €3,950.5 million; the remaining €49.5 million will mature in March 2025. The 
credit facility replaced the existing five-year €1.75 billion credit facility due to mature in 2021. The €4 billion facility is guaranteed by the 
parent company 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.), and includes typical provisions for contracts of this type and size, such as: customary 
covenants mainly relating to Industrial Activities including negative pledge, a status (or pari passu) covenant, 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, failure to pay amounts due or to comply with certain provisions under the loan agreement, the occurrence 
of certain bankruptcy-related events and mandatory prepayment obligations upon a change in control of CNH Industrial or the borrower 
and a financial covenant (Net debt/EBITDA ratio relating to Industrial Activities) that is not applicable with the current ratings levels. The 
failure to comply with these provisions, in certain cases if not suitably remedied, can lead to the requirement to make early repayment of the 
outstanding advances. At December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial was in compliance with all covenants in the revolving credit facility.

At December 31, 2021, Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities expiring after twelve months related to Continuing operations 
amounted to $3.0 billion ($3.9 billion at December 31, 2020), of which $2.0 billion at December 31, 2021 ($3.7 billion at December 31, 
2020) were utilized.

The bonds issued by the Group may contain commitments of the issuer, and in certain cases commitments of CNH Industrial N.V. in its 
capacity as guarantor, which are typical of international practice for bond issues of this type such as, in particular, negative pledge (in relation 
to quoted indebtedness), a status (or pari passu) covenant and cross default clauses. A breach of these commitments can lead to the early 
repayment of the applicable notes. The bonds guaranteed by CNH Industrial N.V. under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme (and its 
predecessor the Global Medium Term Note Programme), as well as the notes issued by CNH Industrial N.V., contain clauses which could 
lead to early repayment if there is a change of control of CNH Industrial N.V. leading to a rating downgrading of CNH Industrial N.V.

On January 4, 2022 Fitch Ratings raised its Long-Term Issuer Default Rating 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 has 
upgraded the Long-Term Issuer Default Ratings and senior unsecured debt ratings of CNH Industrial Capital LLC (CNHI Capital) and CNH 
Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. (CNH Canada) to ‘BBB+’ from ‘BBB-’. The Rating Outlook is Stable. Fitch has also upgraded CNHI Capital’s 
Short-Term IDR and commercial paper (CP) 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. Limited and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. to Baa2 from Baa3. At the same time, Moody’s withdrew 
CNHI Industrial Finance Europe S.A.’s short-term rating of (P)P-3. The Rating Outlook is stable. The Company’s long-term credit ratings 
remained unchanged at “BBB” from Standard & Poor’s with stable outlook.

For further information on the management of interest rate and currency risk reference should be made to Note 30.

At  December  31,  2021  and  2020,  there  was  no  debt  secured  with  mortgages  and  other  liens  on  assets  of  the  Group,  and  the  total 
carrying amount of assets acting as security for loans was not significant at December 31, 2021 and 2020. In addition, the Group’s assets 
include current receivables and cash with a pre-determined use to settle asset-backed financing of $8,875 million at December 31, 2021 
($11,923 million at December 31, 2020).

At December 31, 2021, Contract liabilities primarily relate to extended warranties/maintenance and repair contracts. At December 31, 
2020, Contract liabilities primarily related to extended warranties/maintenance and repair contracts, and transactions for the sale of vehicles 
with a buy-back commitment, and included $740 million for future rents related to buy-back agreements. At December 31, 2020, Advances 
on buy-back agreements included the repurchase value of the vehicle relating to new vehicles sold with the buy-back commitment from 
Commercial and Specialty Vehicles included in Property, plant and equipment, as described in section “Significant accounting policies”.

27.  Commitments and contingencies
As a global company with a diverse business portfolio, CNH Industrial in the ordinary course of business is exposed to numerous legal 
risks, including, without limitation, dealer and supplier litigation, intellectual property right disputes, product warranty and defective product 
claims, product performance, asbestos, personal injury, emissions and/or fuel economy regulatory and contractual issues, competition law 
and other investigations and environmental claims. The most significant of these matters are described below.

The outcome of any current or future proceedings, claims, or investigations cannot be predicted with certainty. Adverse decisions in one or 
more of these proceedings, claims or investigations could require CNH Industrial to pay substantial damages or fines or undertake service 

208

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESactions, recall campaigns or other costly actions. It is therefore possible that legal judgments could give rise to expenses that are not covered, 
or not fully covered, by insurers’ compensation payments and could affect CNH Industrial’s financial position and results. 

When it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle obligations and this amount can 
be reliably estimated, CNH Industrial recognizes specific provisions for this purpose. At December 31, 2021, contingent liabilities estimated 
by the Group amount to approximately $47 million (approximately $33 million at December 31, 2020), for which no provisions have been 
recognized since an outflow of resources is not considered probable at the present time. 

Although the ultimate outcome of legal matters pending against CNH Industrial and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted, CNH Industrial 
believes the reasonable possible range of losses for these unresolved legal matters in addition to the amounts accrued would not have a 
material effect on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Other litigation and investigation
Follow-up  on  Damages  Claims:  in  2011  Iveco  S.p.A.  (“Iveco”),  which,  following  the  Demerger,  is  now  part  of  Iveco  Group  N.V.,  and  its 
competitors in the European Union were subject to an investigation by the European Commission (the “Commission”) into certain business 
practices  in  the  European  Union  (in  the  period  1997-2011)  in  relation  to  Medium  &  Heavy  trucks.  On  July  19,  2016,  the  Commission 
announced a settlement with Iveco (“the Decision”). Following the Decision, the Company, Iveco and Iveco Magirus AG (“IMAG”) have 
been named as defendants in proceedings across Europe. The consummation of the Demerger will not allow CNH Industrial to be excluded 
from current and future follow on proceedings originating from the Decision because under EU competition law a company cannot use 
corporate reorganizations to avoid liability for private damage claims. In the event one or more of these judicial proceedings would result 
in a decision against CNH Industrial ordering it to compensate such claimants as a result of the conduct that was the subject matter of the 
Decision, and Iveco and IMAG does not comply with such decisions, as a result of various intercompany arrangements, then CNH Industrial 
will ultimately have recourse against Iveco and IMAG for the reimbursement of the damages effectively paid to such claimants. The extent 
and outcome of these claims cannot be predicted at this time.

FPT Emissions Investigation: on July 22, 2020, a number of CNH Industrial’s offices in Europe were visited by investigators in the context of a 
request for assistance by the public prosecutors of Frankfurt am Main, Germany and Turin, Italy in relation to alleged noncompliance of two 
engine models produced by FPT Industrial S.p.A. (“FPT”), which is now part of the Iveco Group N.V., installed in certain Ducato (a vehicle 
distributed by Stellantis) and Iveco Daily vehicles. FPT is providing its full cooperation to properly address the requests received. FPT, other 
companies of Iveco Group, and in certain instances CNH Industrial and other third parties have received various requests for compensation 
by German and Austrian customers on various contractual and tort grounds, including requests for damages resulting out of the termination 
of the purchase contracts, or in the form of requests for an alleged lower residual value of their vehicles as a consequence of the alleged 
non-compliance with type approval regulations regarding emissions. In certain instances, other customers have brought judicial claims on the 
same legal and factual bases. Although, at the date hereof, the Company has been informed by the Iveco Group that it has no evidence of 
any wrongdoing, it cannot predict at this time the extent and outcome of these requests and directly or indirectly related legal proceedings, 
including customer claims or potential class actions alleging emissions non-compliance.

28.  Segment reporting
The  operating  segments  through  which  CNH  Industrial  manages  its  operations  are  based  on  the  internal  reporting  used  by  the  CNH 
Industrial Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation. 

Until  December  31,  2021,  before  the  Demerger,  CNH  Industrial  N.V.  owned  and  controlled  the  Iveco  Group  Business,  as  well  as  the 
Agriculture business, the Construction business, and the related Financial Services business. As requested by the IFRS 5 - Non-current 

209

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESassets held for sale and discontinued operations, Iveco Group Business was classified and presented as Discontinued Operations in these 
Consolidated Financial Statements.

However, the CODM continues to assess in continuity the performance for the Group as a whole in line with U.S. GAAP, and therefore, 
the segment reporting disclosures was not unchanged as a consequence of the Demerger.

The segments are organized based on products and services provided by CNH Industrial.

Until December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial had the following five operating segments: 

Continuing Operations Business - Industrial Activities Segments:
	 Agriculture designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of farm machinery and implements, including two-wheel and four-wheel 
drive  tractors,  crawler  tractors  (Quadtrac®),  combines,  cotton  pickers,  grape  and  sugar  cane  harvesters,  hay  and  forage  equipment, 
planting and seeding equipment, soil preparation and cultivation implements, and material handling equipment. Agricultural equipment is 
sold under the New Holland Agriculture and Case IH brands, as well as the STEYR, Kongskilde and Överum brands in Europe and the 
Miller brand, primarily in North America and Australia. 

	 Construction designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of construction equipment including excavators, crawler dozers, graders, 
wheel  loaders,  backhoe  loaders,  skid  steer  loaders,  and  compact  track  loaders.  Construction  equipment  is  sold  under  the  CASE 
Construction Equipment and New Holland Construction brands. 

Discontinued Operations Business - Industrial Activities Segments:
	 Commercial and Specialty Vehicles designs, manufactures and distributes a full range of light, medium, and heavy vehicles for the 
transportation and distribution of goods under the IVECO brand, city-buses, commuter buses under the IVECO BUS (previously Iveco 
Irisbus) and HEULIEZ BUS brands, quarry and mining equipment under the IVECO ASTRA brand, firefighting vehicles under the Magirus 
brand, and vehicles for civil defense and peace-keeping missions under the Iveco Defence Vehicles brand.  

	 Powertrain designs, manufactures and distributes, under the FPT Industrial brand, a range of combustion engines, alternative propulsion 
systems, transmission systems and axles for on- and off-road applications, as well as for marine and power generation. 

Financial Services:
	 Financial Services, prior to the Demerger, offered a range of financial products and services to dealers and customers of both Off-
Highway and On-Highway Industrial Activities segments. Financial Services provided and administered retail financing to customers for 
the purchase or lease of new and used vehicles and other equipment sold by CNH Industrial brand dealers. In addition, Financial Services 
provided wholesale financing to CNH Industrial brand dealers. Wholesale financing consists primarily of floor plan financing and allows 
the dealers to purchase and maintain a representative inventory of products. Financial Services also provided trade receivables factoring 
services to CNH Industrial companies.

  Following  the  Demerger,  the  European  operations  of  CNH  Industrial  Financial  Services  will  be  separated  as  follows:  the  receivable 
portfolios related to the captive activity of each group (CNH Industrial and Iveco Group), together with the related funding, will be 
attributed to each group, while the servicing of these separated portfolios will be performed by Iveco Group’s Financial Services segment. 
CNH Industrial will provide financial services to Iveco Group companies in the rest of the world.

The activities carried out by the four industrial segments Agriculture, Construction, Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, and Powertrain, as 
well as corporate functions, are collectively referred to as “Industrial Activities”. 

Revenues for each reported segment are those directly generated by or attributable to the segment as a result of its business activities and 
include revenues from transactions with third parties as well as those deriving from transactions with other segments, recognized at normal 
market prices. Segment expenses represent expenses deriving from each segment’s business activities both with third parties and other 
operating segments or which may otherwise be directly attributable to it. Expenses deriving from business activities with other segments 
are recognized at normal market prices.

With reference to Industrial Activities’ segments, the CODM assesses segment performance and makes decisions about resource allocation 
based  upon  Adjusted  EBIT  calculated  using  U.S.  GAAP.  CNH  Industrial  believes  Adjusted  EBIT  more  fully  reflects  Industrial  Activities 
segments’ inherent profitability. Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP is defined as net income (loss) before Income taxes, 
Financial Services’ results, Industrial Activities’ interest expenses, (net), foreign exchange gains/losses, finance and non-service component 
of pension and other post-employment benefit costs, restructuring expenses, and certain non-recurring items. In particular, non-recurring 
items are specifically disclosed items that management considers to be rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective 
of on-going operational activities. With reference to Financial Services, the CODM assesses the performance of the segment and makes 
decisions about resource allocation on the basis of net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

30.  Information on financial risks
We are exposed to the following financial risks connected with our operations:

	 credit risk related to our financing activities;

	 liquidity risk, with particular reference to the availability of funds and access to the credit market and to financial instruments in general;

	 market risk (primarily exchange rates and interest rates). 

We attempt to actively manage these risks. 

The quantitative data reported in the following paragraphs does not have any predictive value. In particular, the sensitivity analysis on market 
risks does not reflect the complexity of the market or the reaction, which may result from any changes that are assumed to take place.

Credit risk
Our credit concentration risk differs in relation to the activities carried out by the segments and sales markets in which we operate; in all 
cases, however, the risk is mitigated by the large number of counterparties and customers. Considered from a global point of view, however, 
there is a concentration of credit risk in trade receivables and receivables from financing activities, in particular dealer financing and finance 
leases in the European Union market and in North America, as well as in Latin America for Agriculture, Construction and Commercial and 
Specialty Vehicles.

CNH Industrial measures the loss allowance for its trade receivables and contract assets at an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit 
losses, which are the present value of the cash shortfalls over the expected life of the financial asset.

Financial assets are recognized in the statement of financial position net of write-downs for the risk that counterparties may be unable to 
fulfill their contractual obligations, determined on the basis of the available information as to the creditworthiness of the customer and 
historical data.

The maximum credit risk to which we were theoretically exposed at December 31, 2021 is represented by the carrying amounts stated 
for financial assets in the statement of financial position and the nominal value of the guarantees provided on debt or commitments of third 
parties as discussed in Note 27.

Dealers  and  final  customers  are  generally  subject  to  specific  assessments  of  their  creditworthiness  under  a  detailed  scoring  system.  In 
addition to carrying out this evaluation process, we may also obtain financial and non-financial guarantees for risks arising from credit granted 
for  the  sale  of  commercial  vehicles,  agricultural  equipment  and  construction  equipment.  These  guarantees  are  further  secured,  where 
possible, by retention of title clauses or specific guarantees on financed vehicle sales to the distribution network and on vehicles under 
finance leasing agreements.

A financial asset has experienced a significant increase in credit risk when the customer shows signs of operational or financial weakness 
including past dues, which requires significant collection effort and monitoring and generally occurs when the customer becomes past due 
greater than 30 days. The assessment considers available information regarding the financial stability of the customer and other market/
industry data. An account is typically considered in default when they are 90 days past due.

213

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESCNH  Industrial  utilizes  three  categories  for  receivables  from  financing  activities  that  reflect  their  credit  risk  and  the  loan  provision  is 
determined.

12 months expected credit losses

Lifetime expected credit losses

Lifetime expected credit losses

Charge-offs of principal amounts of receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance at the point when it is estimated that amounts 
due  are  deemed  uncollectible.  CNH  Industrial  continues  to  engage  in  collection  efforts  to  attempt  to  recover  the  receivables.  When 
recoveries are collected, these are recognized as income.

CNH Industrial’s allowance for credit losses is segregated into three portfolio segments: retail, wholesale and other. A portfolio segment is 
the level at which CNH Industrial develops a systematic methodology for determining its allowance for credit losses. Further, CNH Industrial 
evaluates its retail and wholesale portfolio segments by class of receivable: North America, Europe, South America and Rest of World 
regions. Typically, CNH Industrial’s receivables within a geographic area have similar risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring 
risk. These classes align with management reporting.

The Group accounts for its credit risk by appropriately providing for expected credit losses on a timely basis. In calculating the expected credit 
loss rates, CNH Industrial considers historical loss rates for each category of customers, and adjusts for forward looking macroeconomic 
data. 

In calculating the expected credit losses, CNH Industrial’s calculations depend on whether the receivable has been individually identified 
as  being  impaired.  The  first  component  of  the  allowance  for  credit  losses  covers  the  receivables  specifically  reviewed  by  management 
for which CNH Industrial has determined it is probable that it will not collect all of the contractual principal and interest. Receivables are 
individually reviewed for impairment based on, among other items, amounts outstanding, days past due and prior collection history. Expected 
credit losses are measured by considering: the unbiased and probability-weighted amount; the time value of money; and reasonable and 
supportable information (available without undue costs or effort) at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts 
of future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls over the 
expected life of each financial asset.   

The second component of the allowance for credit losses covers all receivables that have not been individually reviewed for impairment. 
The allowance for these receivables is based on aggregated portfolio evaluations, generally by financial product. The allowance for wholesale 
and retail credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss 
experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation 
is adjusted for forward looking macroeconomic factors. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models 
are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a 
degree of management judgment. 

Liquidity risk
We are exposed to funding risk if there is difficulty in obtaining finance for operations at any given point in time.

The cash flows, funding requirements and liquidity of our subsidiaries are monitored on a centralized basis. The aim of this centralized system 
is to optimize the efficiency and effectiveness of the management of our capital resources.

Additionally, as part of our activities, we regularly carry out funding operations on the various financial markets which may take on different 
technical forms and which are aimed at ensuring that it has an adequate level of current and future liquidity.

Measures taken to generate financial resources through operations and to maintain an adequate level of available liquidity are an important 
factor in ensuring normal operating conditions and addressing strategic challenges. We therefore plan to meet our requirements to settle 
liabilities as they fall due and to cover expected capital expenditures by using cash flows from operations and available liquidity, renewing or 
refinancing bank loans and making recourse to the bond market and other forms of funding.

The two main factors that determine our liquidity situation are the funds generated by or used in operating and investing activities and the 
debt lending period and its renewal features or the liquidity of the funds employed and market terms and conditions.

214

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESCNH Industrial has adopted a series of policies and procedures whose purpose is to optimize the management of funds and to reduce the 
liquidity risk, as follows:

	 centralizing the management of receipts and payments, where it may be economical in the context of the local statutory, currency and 
fiscal regulations of the countries in which we are present;

	 maintaining an adequate level of available liquidity;

	 diversifying the means by which funds are obtained and maintaining a continuous and active presence on the capital markets; 

	 obtaining adequate credit lines; and

	 monitoring future liquidity on the basis of business planning.

Details as to the repayment structure of the CNH Industrial’s financial assets and liabilities are provided in Note 17 “Current Receivables and 
Other current financial assets” and in Note 24 “Debt”. Details of the repayment structure of derivative financial instruments are provided 
in Note 18 “Derivative assets and Derivative liabilities”.

Management believes that the funds currently available, together with the funds that will be generated from operating and financing activities, 
will enable CNH Industrial Post-Demerger to satisfy its requirements resulting from their investing activities and their working capital needs 
and to fulfill their obligations to repay their debts at their natural due date.

Market risk
We operate in numerous markets worldwide and are exposed to market risks stemming from fluctuations in currency and interest rates.

The exposure to foreign currency risk arises both in connection with the geographical distribution of our industrial activities compared to 
the markets in which we sell our products, and in relation to the use of external borrowing denominated in foreign currencies.

The exposure to interest rate risk arises from the need to fund industrial and financial operating activities and the necessity to deploy surplus 
funds. Changes in market interest rates may have the effect of either increasing or decreasing our profit/(loss), thereby indirectly affecting 
the costs and returns of financing and investing transactions.

We regularly assess our exposure to foreign currency and interest rate risk and manage those risks through the use of derivative financial 
instruments in accordance with its established risk management policies.

Our policy permits derivatives to be used only for managing the exposure to fluctuations in exchange and interest rates connected with 
future cash flows and assets and liabilities, and not for speculative purposes.

We utilize derivative financial instruments designated as fair value hedges, mainly to hedge:

	 the currency risk on financial instruments denominated in foreign currency;

	 the interest rate risk on fixed rate loans and borrowings.

The instruments used for these hedges are mainly currency swaps, forward contracts, interest rate swaps and combined interest rate and 
currency financial instruments.

We use derivative financial instruments as cash flow hedges for the purpose of pre-determining:

	 the exchange rate at which forecasted transactions denominated in foreign currencies will be accounted for;

	 the interest paid on borrowings, both to match the fixed interest received on loans (customer financing activity), and to achieve a pre-
defined mix of floating versus fixed rate funding structured loans.

The exchange rate exposure on forecasted commercial flows is hedged by currency swaps, forward contracts and currency options. Interest 
rate exposures are usually hedged by interest rate swaps and, in limited cases, by forward rate agreements.

Counterparties to these agreements are major and diverse financial institutions.

Information on the fair value of derivative financial instruments held at the balance sheet date is provided in Note 18 “Derivative assets and 
Derivative liabilities”.

Currency risk
We are exposed to risk resulting from changes in exchange rates, which can affect our earnings and equity.

Where one of our subsidiaries incurs costs in a currency different from that of its revenues, any change in exchange rates can affect the 
profit/(loss) of that company. In 2021, the total net trade flows exposed to currency risk amounted to the equivalent of 16% of CNH 
Industrial Pre-Demerger’s revenue (13% in 2020). 

215

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESThe principal exchange rates to which the businesses in Continuing Operations are exposed are the following:

	 EUR/USD, in relation to the production/purchases of Agriculture and Construction in the euro area; 

	 USD/BRL and EUR/BRL, in relation to production in Brazil and the respective import/export flows;

	 AUD/USD, mainly in relation to sales made by Agriculture and Construction in Australia;

	 EUR/GBP, predominately in relation to sales on the U.K. market.

Trade flows exposed to changes in these exchange rates in 2021 made up approximately 77% of the exposure to currency risk from trade 
transactions. 

The principal exchange rates to which the businesses in Discontinued Operations are exposed are the following:

	 EUR/GBP predominately in relation to sales in the U.K. market; 

	 USD/BRL and EUR/BRL, in relation to production in Brazil and the respective import/export flows;

	 EUR/TRY, mainly in relation to sales made on Turkey market;

	 EUR/CZK, predominately in relation to sales on the Czech Republic market.

	 EUR/PLN predominately in relation to sales on the Poland market.

Trade flows exposed to changes in these exchange rates in 2021 made up approximately 65% of the exposure to currency risk from trade 
transactions. 

It is our policy to use derivative financial instruments to hedge a certain percentage, on average between 55% and 85%, of the forecasted 
trading transaction exchange risk exposure for the coming 12 months with additional flexibility to reach 0% or 100% (including risk beyond 
that date where it is believed to be appropriate) and to hedge completely the exposure resulting from firm commitments.

Certain subsidiaries may hold trade receivables or payables denominated in a currency different from the subsidiary’s functional currency. In 
addition, in a limited number of cases, subsidiaries may obtain financing or use funds in a currency different from their functional currency. 
Changes in exchange rates may result in exchange gains or losses arising from these situations. It is our policy to hedge fully, whenever 
possible, the exposure resulting from receivables, payables, and securities denominated in foreign currencies different from the subsidiary’s 
functional currency.

Certain of our subsidiaries’ functional currency is different than the U.S. dollar, which is the Group presentation currency. The income 
statements of those subsidiaries are converted into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate for the period, and while revenues and 
margins are unchanged in local currency, changes in exchange rates may lead to effects on the converted balances of revenues, costs and 
the results reported in U.S. dollars.

The assets and liabilities of consolidated companies whose functional currency is different from the U.S. dollar may acquire converted values 
in U.S. dollars which differ as a function of the fluctuation in exchange rates. The effects of these changes are recognized directly in the 
Cumulative Translation Adjustments reserve, included in Other comprehensive income (see Note 21).

We monitor our principal exposure to translation exchange risk, although there was no specific hedging in place at December 31, 2021.

There were no substantial changes in 2021 in the nature or structure of exposure to currency risk or in our hedging policies.

Sensitivity analysis
The potential loss in fair value of derivative financial instruments held for currency risk management (currency swaps/forwards, currency 
options,  interest  rate  and  currency  swaps)  at  December  31,  2021  resulting  from  a  hypothetical  change  of  10%  in  the  exchange  rates 
amounts to approximately $531 million for CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger and $344 million for Continuing Operations and $187 million for 
Discontinued Operations (for CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger, $512 million at December 31, 2020). The valuation model for currency options 
assumes that market volatility at year-end remains unchanged.

Receivables, payables, and future trade flows whose hedging transactions have been analyzed were not considered in this analysis. It is 
reasonable to assume that changes in exchange rates will produce the opposite effect, of an equal or greater amount, on the underlying 
transactions that have been hedged. 

216

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESInterest rate risk
Our Industrial Activities make use of external funds obtained in the form of financing and invest in monetary and financial market instruments. 
In addition, we sell receivables. Changes in market interest rates can affect the cost of financing, including the sale of receivables, or the return 
on investments of funds, causing an impact on the level of net financial expenses incurred by us.

In  addition,  Financial  Services  provides  loans  (mainly  to  customers  and  dealers),  financing  themselves  primarily  using  various  forms  of 
external borrowings or asset-backed financing (e.g., securitization of receivables). Where the characteristics of the variability of the interest 
rate applied to loans granted differ from those of the variability of the cost of the financing/funding obtained, changes in the current level of 
interest rates can affect our profit/(loss).

In order to mitigate these risks, we use interest rate derivative financial instruments, mainly interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements.

Interest rate benchmark reform
Certain existing benchmark InterBank Offered Rates (IBORs) such as USD LIBOR will be reformed by the authority and gradually replaced 
with alternative benchmark rates. Despite the uncertainty around the timing and precise nature of these changes, the existing benchmark 
interest rates are still applied as reference rates.

To transition existing contracts and agreements that reference USD LIBOR to an alternative benchmark rate (SOFR), adjustments for term 
differences and credit differences might need to be applied to the alternative benchmark rate, to enable the two benchmark rates to be 
economically equivalent on transition.

The Group has issued US dollar-denominated fixed rate debt which it fair value hedges using sterling fixed to US dollar fixed to USD LIBOR 
interest rate swaps. At December 31, 2021, the notional amount of hedging instruments directly affected by the reform of benchmark 
interest rates is $1,228 million related to Continuing Operations.

Group Treasury is managing the Group’s USD LIBOR transition plan. The greatest change will be amendments to the contractual terms of 
the USD LIBOR-referenced fixed-rate debt and the corresponding update of the hedge designation. 

In calculating the change in fair value attributable to the hedged risk of fixed-rate debt, the Group has made the following assumptions that 
reflect its current expectations: 

	 the fixed-rate debt will move to SOFR at the beginning of 2022 (or at July 2023 if the new consultations were confirmed) and the spread 
will be similar to the spread included in the interest rate swap used as the hedging instrument;

	 no other changes to the terms of the fixed-rate debt are anticipated; and

	 the Group does not expect any material impact deriving from the replacement of benchmark interest rate.

Sensitivity analysis
In assessing the potential impact of changes in interest rates, we separate fixed rate financial instruments (for which the impact is assessed in 
terms of fair value) from floating rate financial instruments (for which the impact is assessed in terms of cash flows).

The fixed rate financial instruments used by us consist of retail receivables, debt, ABS securities, and other instruments.

The potential loss in fair value of fixed rate financial instruments (including the effect of interest rate derivative financial instruments) held 
at December 31, 2021, resulting from a hypothetical, unfavorable and instantaneous change of 10% in market interest rates, would have 
been approximately $21 million for CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger, $20 million for Continuing Operations and $1 million for Discontinued 
Operations (for CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger, approximately $16 million at December 31, 2020).

Floating rate financial instruments consist principally of cash and cash equivalents, wholesale receivables, debt, and ABS securities. The effect 
of the sale of receivables is also considered in the sensitivity analysis as well as the effect of hedging derivative instruments.

A hypothetical change of 10% in short-term interest rates at  December  31, 2021, applied to floating rate financial assets and liabilities, 
operations for the sale of receivables and derivative financial instruments, would have caused increased net expenses before taxes, on 
an annual basis, of approximately $8 million for CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger ($3 million for Continuing Operations and $5 million for 
Discontinued Operations) (for CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger approximately $1 million at December 31, 2020).

This analysis is based on the assumption that there is a hypothetical change of 10% in interest rates across homogeneous categories. A 
homogeneous category is defined on the basis of the currency in which the financial assets and liabilities are denominated.

217

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESOther risks on derivative financial instruments
We have entered derivative contracts linked to commodity prices to hedge specific exposures on supply contracts.

Sensitivity analysis
In the event of a hypothetical change of 10% in the underlying raw materials prices, the potential loss in fair value of outstanding derivative 
financial instruments at December 31, 2021 linked to commodity prices would not have been significant for Continuing Operations and 
Discontinued Operations (not significant for CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger at December 31, 2020).

Receivables from financing activities
The fair value of Receivables from financing activities is based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at market discount rates 
that reflect conditions applied in various reference markets on receivables with similar characteristic, adjusted to take into account the credit 
risk of the counterparties.

Debt
All Debt is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement, with the exception of the bonds issued by CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. 
and the bonds issued by CNH Industrial N.V. that are classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. The fair value of these bonds has been 
estimated making reference to quoted prices in active markets.

The fair value of Asset-backed financing, Borrowings from banks, Payable represented by securities and Other debt are included in the Level 
2 and has been estimated based on discounted cash flows analysis using the current market interest rates at year-end adjusted for the Group 
non-performance risk over the remaining term of the financial liability.

The fair value of Lease liabilities classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy has been estimated using discounted cash flow models 
that require significant adjustments using unobservable inputs.

Other financial assets and liabilities
The carrying amount of Cash at banks, Restricted cash, Other cash equivalents, Trade receivables, Other current receivables and financial 
assets, Trade payables and Other current liabilities included in the statement of financial position approximates their fair value, due to the 
short maturity of these items.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES32.  Related party transactions
In accordance with IAS 24 – Related Party Disclosures, CNH Industrial’s related parties are companies and persons capable of exercising 
control, joint control or significant influence over the Group. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, related parties included CNH Industrial 
N.V.’s parent company EXOR N.V. and the companies that EXOR N.V. controlled or had a significant influence over, including Fiat Chrysler 
Automobiles N.V. and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“FCA”) and Ferrari N.V. and its subsidiaries and affiliates including Stellantis N.V. (formerly 
Fiat Chrysler Automobiles N.V. which, effective January 16, 2021, merged with Peugeot S.A. by means of a cross-border legal merger) and 
its subsidiaries and affiliates (“Stellantis”), and CNH Industrial’s unconsolidated subsidiaries, associates or joint ventures.  In addition, the 
members of the Board of Directors and managers of CNH Industrial with strategic responsibility and members of their families were also 
considered related parties.

As  of  December 31,  2021,  based  on  public  information  available  and  in  reference  to  Company’s  files,  EXOR  N.V.  held  42.5%  of  CNH 
Industrial’s voting power and had the ability to significantly influence the decisions submitted to a vote of CNH Industrial’s shareholders, 
including approval of annual dividends, the election and removal of directors, mergers or other business combinations, the acquisition or 
disposition of assets, and issuances of equity and the incurrence of indebtedness. The percentage above has been calculated as the ratio of 
(i) the aggregate number of common shares and special voting shares owned by EXOR N.V. to (ii) the aggregate number of outstanding 
common shares and special voting shares of CNH Industrial as of December 31, 2021.

In addition, CNH Industrial engages in transactions with its unconsolidated subsidiaries, joint ventures, associates and other related parties 
on commercial terms that are normal in the respective markets, considering the characteristics of the goods or services involved.

The Company’s Audit Committee reviews and evaluates all significant related party transactions.

Related party transactions included in the following paragraphs refer to CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger.

Transactions with EXOR N.V. and its subsidiaries and affiliates
EXOR N.V. is an investment holding company. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, among other things, EXOR N.V. managed a portfolio 
that includes investments in Stellantis. CNH Industrial did not enter into any significant transactions with EXOR N.V. during the years ended 
December 31, 2021 and 2020. 

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

Additionally, CNH Industrial sold engines and light commercial vehicles to and purchased engine blocks and other components from Stellantis 
subsidiaries. Furthermore, CNH Industrial and Stellantis might engage in other minor transactions in the ordinary course of business.

These transactions with Stellantis are reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements as follows:

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESDescription of reconciling items

Reconciling items presented in the tables above are described as follows:

(a) Development costs

  Under EU-IFRS, costs relating to development projects are recognized as intangible assets when costs can be measured reliably and 
the technical feasibility of the product, volumes and pricing support the view that the development expenditure will generate future 
economic benefits. Under U.S. GAAP, development costs are expensed as incurred. As a result, costs incurred related to development 
projects that have been capitalized under EU-IFRS are expensed as incurred under U.S. GAAP. Amortization expenses, net of result on 
disposal and impairment charges of previously capitalized development costs recorded under EU-IFRS, have been reversed under U.S. 
GAAP.

(b) Nikola investment fair value adjustment

  Under EU-IFRS, CNH Industrial elected to measure its investment in Nikola Corporation at fair value through other comprehensive 
income.  Under  U.S.  GAAP,  starting  from  the  second  quarter  of  2020,  this  investment  is  measured  at  fair  value  through  profit  or 
loss (measured at cost before that period). Any fair value remeasurement gain or loss is therefore recorded in other comprehensive 
income under EU-IFRS and in profit or loss under U.S. GAAP. Refer to Note 14 for a detailed description of this investment and the 
remeasurement adjustment recognized under EU-IFRS in 2020.

(c) Other adjustments

It mainly includes the following items:

■	 Goodwill  and  other  intangible  assets:  goodwill  is  not  amortized  but  rather  tested  for  impairment  at  least  annually  under  both  EU-
IFRS and U.S. GAAP. The difference in goodwill and other intangible assets between the Group’s two sets of financial statements 
is primarily due to the different times when EU-IFRS and ASC 350 - Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, were adopted. CNH Industrial 
transitioned to EU-IFRS on January 1, 2004. Prior to the adoption of EU-IFRS, goodwill was recorded as an intangible asset and 
amortized  to  income  on  a  straight-line  basis  over  its  estimated  period  of  recoverability,  not  exceeding  20  years.  CNH  Industrial 
adopted ASC 350 on January 1, 2002. Under U.S. GAAP through December 31, 2001, goodwill was recorded as an intangible asset 
and amortized to income on a straight-line basis over a period not exceeding 40 years. 

■	 Defined benefit plans: the differences related to defined benefit plans are mainly due to the different accounting for actuarial gains and 
losses and the net interest component of the defined benefit cost between EU-IFRS and U.S. GAAP. Under EU-IFRS, actuarial gains 
and losses are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income without reclassification to profit or loss in subsequent years; 
net interest expense or income is recognized by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset (the defined 
benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets, allowing for any assets ceiling restriction). Under U.S. GAAP, actuarial gains and 
losses are deferred through the use of the corridor method; interest cost applicable to the liability is recognized using the discount 
rate, while an expected return on assets is recognized reflecting management’s expectations on long-term average rates of return on 
funds invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligations.

■	 Restructuring provisions: the main difference between EU-IFRS and U.S. GAAP with respect to accruing for restructuring costs is that 
EU-IFRS places emphasis on the recognition of the costs of the exit plan as a whole, whereas U.S. GAAP requires that each type of 
cost  is  examined  individually  to  determine  when  it  may  be  accrued.  Under  IAS  37  –  Provisions,  Contingent  Liabilities  and  Contingent 
Assets, a provision for restructuring costs is recognized when the Group has a constructive obligation to restructure. Under U.S. GAAP, 
termination benefits are recognized in the period in which a liability is incurred. The application of U.S. GAAP often results in different 
timing recognition for the Group’s restructuring activities.

(d) Tax impact on adjustments and other income tax differences

  This  item  includes  the  tax  effects  of  adjustments  included  in  (a)  and  (b),  primarily  related  to  development  costs,  as  well  as  other 
differences arising in the accounting for deferred tax assets and liabilities. The Group’s policy for accounting for deferred income taxes 
under EU-IFRS is described in section “Significant accounting policies”. This policy is similar to U.S. GAAP, which states that a deferred 
tax asset or liability is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and tax loss carry forwards. 
Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized 
based on available evidence. The most significant accounting difference between EU-IFRS and U.S. GAAP relates to development costs, 
which also has a significant impact on accumulated deferred tax assets or liabilities and on U.S. GAAP pre-tax book income or loss in 
certain jurisdictions. As a result, the assessment of tax contingencies and recoverability of deferred tax assets in each jurisdiction can vary 
significantly between EU-IFRS and U.S. GAAP for financial reporting purposes. This adjustment relates primarily to jurisdictions with U.S. 
GAAP pre-tax book losses higher than those recorded for EU-IFRS purposes.

35.  Subsequent events
CNH Industrial has evaluated subsequent events through March 1, 2022, which is the date the financial statements were authorized for 
issuance, and identified the following: 

	 Effective January 1, 2022, the Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. by way of a legal statutory demerger to 
Iveco Group N.V. and Iveco Group became a public listed company independent from CNH Industrial with its common shares trading on 
Euronext Milan, a regulated market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. 

	 On January 4, 2022 Fitch Ratings raised its Long-Term Issuer Default Rating 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 Issuer Default Ratings and senior unsecured debt ratings of CNH Industrial Capital LLC 
(CNHI Capital) and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. (CNH Canada) to ‘BBB+’ from ‘BBB-’. The Rating Outlook is Stable. Fitch has 
also upgraded CNHI Capital’s Short-Term IDR and commercial paper (CP) ratings to ‘F2’ from ‘F3’.

	 On February 22, 2022, CNH Industrial N.V. held an Investors Day, presenting its Strategic Business Plan for the years 2022 to 2024.

	 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. Limited and CNH Industrial 
Capital Canada Ltd. to Baa2 from Baa3. The Rating Outlook is stable.

	 In order to optimize the capital structure of the Company and to meet the obligations arising from the Company’s equity incentive plans, 
on March 1, 2022, CNH Industrial announced a share buy-back program (the “Program”) up to €100 million, within the framework 
of the authorization granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 15, 2021, whereby the Board is vested with the authority to 
purchase up to 10% of the Company’s issued common shares during the eighteen-month period following such Shareholders’ Meeting. 
The purchases will be carried out on the Italian Stock Exchange (Euronext Milan) and on multilateral trading facilities (MTFs), in compliance 
with applicable rules and regulations, subject to a maximum price per common share equal to the average of the highest price on each of 
the five trading days prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the Euronext Milan plus 10% (maximum price) 
and to a minimum price per common share equal to the average of the lowest price on each of the five trading days prior to the date of 
acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the Euronext Milan minus 10% (minimum price). The actual timing, number and value of 
common shares repurchased under the Program will depend on various factors, including market conditions, general business conditions, 
and compliance with applicable legal requirements. The Program does not oblige the Company to repurchase any common shares, and 
it may be suspended, discontinued, or modified upwards at any time, for any reason and without previous notice, in accordance with 
applicable laws and regulations.

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES TO THE  
COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

PRINCIPAL ACTIVITIES

CNH Industrial N.V. (the “Company” and collectively with its subsidiaries, “CNH Industrial” or the “CNH Industrial Group” or the “Group”) 
is the company formed by the business combination transaction (the “Merger”), completed on September 29, 2013, between Fiat Industrial 
S.p.A. (“Fiat Industrial” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Fiat Industrial Group”) and its majority owned subsidiary CNH Global N.V. 
(“CNH Global”). CNH Industrial N.V. is incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands. CNH Industrial N.V. has its corporate seat in 
Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and the place of effective management of the Company is in the United Kingdom. The Company’s principal 
office and business address is at 25 St. James’s Street, London, SW1A 1HA, United Kingdom. The Company is registered at the Commercial 
Register  kept  at  the  Chamber  of  Commerce  in  Amsterdam  under  file  number  56532474  and  at  the  Companies  House  in  the  United 
Kingdom under file number FC031116 BR016181. The Netherlands is the Company’s home member state for the purposes of the EU 
Transparency Directive (Directive 2004/109/EC, as amended). CNH Industrial is a leading company in the capital goods sector that, through 
its various businesses, designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment, construction equipment, trucks, commercial vehicles, buses and 
specialty vehicles, in addition to a broad portfolio of powertrain applications (see Note 28 “Segment reporting” of the Consolidated Financial 
Statements included in this Annual Report). 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.

As parent company, CNH Industrial N.V. has also prepared consolidated financial statements for CNH Industrial Group for the year ended 
December 31, 2021.

History of CNH Industrial
During 2013, the process of combining the activities of CNH and Fiat Industrial was completed with the following steps:

	 the cross-border merger of Fiat Netherlands Holding N.V. (“FNH”) with and into Fiat Industrial (the “FNH Merger”) which occurred on 
August 1, 2013;

	 the cross-border reverse merger of Fiat Industrial with and into FI CBM Holdings N.V. (CNH Industrial after the Merger) (the “FI Merger”); 
and

	 the Dutch merger of CNH Global with and into FI CBM Holdings N.V. (the “CNH Merger”).

A primary objective of the Merger was to simplify the capital structure of Fiat Industrial (CNH Industrial subsequent to the Merger) by 
creating a single class of liquid stock listed on the NYSE and on the Euronext Milan.

All the companies (i.e., Fiat Industrial, FI CBM Holdings N.V., FNH and CNH Global N.V.) involved in the Merger were part of Fiat Industrial; 
in particular: (i) FNH was a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Fiat Industrial; (ii) FI CBM Holdings N.V. was a wholly-owned direct subsidiary 
of Fiat Industrial; and (iii) CNH Global was an indirect subsidiary of Fiat Industrial (controlled through FNH which owned approximately 87% 
of CNH Global’s capital stock).

The deeds of merger for the merger of Fiat Industrial and CNH Global with and into CNH Industrial N.V. were executed, respectively, on 
September 27 and 28, 2013. The effective date of the Merger was September 29, 2013.

During 2014, the Company acquired the activities of the plant located in Basildon, United Kingdom. These activities, which were previously 
held by a subsidiary, were transferred to the Company. The principal activity of the plant is the manufacture and sale of tractors and the sale 
of agricultural and construction equipment and machinery in the local market acting as distributor of product manufactured in other Group 
companies. With effect May 1, 2014 and as a consequence of the transfer, CNH Industrial N.V. shows in the Company financial statements 
the figures related to the operations of the Basildon plant.

230

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESBasis of preparation
The 2021 Company financial statements of the parent company, CNH Industrial N.V., together with the notes thereto were authorized for 
issuance by the Board of Directors on March 1, 2022, and have been prepared in accordance with the legal requirements of Part 9, Book 2 
of the Dutch Civil Code. 

Section 362 (8), Book 2, Dutch Civil Code, allows companies that apply IFRS as adopted by the European Union in their consolidated 
financial statements to use the same measurement principles in their company financial statements. The accounting policies are described 
in  a  specific  section,  “Significant  accounting  policies”,  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  included  in  this  Annual  Report.  In  these 
Company financial statements, investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. The Company financial statements 
are prepared on a going concern basis in accordance with paragraph 25 of IAS 1.

CNH Industrial N.V. financial statements are presented in euros, the Company’s functional currency. The euro functional currency of the 
Company  financial  statements  differs  from  the  U.S.  dollar  presentation  currency  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  which  was 
elected to be used in order to improve comparability with main competitors, mainly in agricultural equipment and construction equipment 
businesses, and to provide more meaningful information to U.S. investors.

Iveco Group Business Spin-off and Discontinued Operations
During 2021, CNH Industrial completed a strategic project to separate the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain 
business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business”) from the Agriculture business, the Construction 
business, and the related Financial Services business.

The Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. in accordance with Section 2:334a (3) of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk 
Wetboek) by way of a legal statutory demerger ( juridische afsplitsing) to Iveco Group N.V. (the “Demerger”), effective January 1, 2022.

The principal phases leading up to completion of the Demerger were as follows:

	 On September 3, 2019, CNH Industrial  announced at its Capital Markets Day event the intended Demerger.

	 On December 23, 2021, an Extraordinary General Meeting of CNH Industrial shareholders was held to approve the Demerger of Iveco 
Group Business. 

	 On December 27, 2021, Borsa Italiana has admitted Iveco Group N.V. common shares to listing on Euronext Milan.

	 Following receipt of the above authorizations, the deed of Demerger was executed on December 31, 2021, with effectiveness of the 
Demerger on January 1, 2022.

	 On January 3, 2022 (the “First Trading Date”) Iveco Group common shares began trading on the regulated market Euronext Milan, under 
the ticker symbol ‘IVG’. As a result of the Demerger, each holder of CNH Industrial common shares (and special voting shares as the case 
may be) received one Iveco Group share for every five CNH Industrial common shares (or special voting share as the case may be) held 
at close of business on the record date for allocation (January 4, 2022). Since January 3, 2022, CNH Industrial N.V. and Iveco Group N.V. 
have been quoted separately on the regulated markets and operate as independent listed companies, each with its own management and 
Board of Directors.

As the transaction took effect on January 1, 2022, the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 relate to 
CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger. Moreover, in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations, as the 
Demerger became highly probable in December, the Iveco Group Business is classified and presented as Discontinued Operations in the 
Consolidated Financial Statements. That presentation has resulted in the following:

	 for  both  years  2021  and  2020  (the  latter  presented  for  comparative  purposes),  the  operating  results  of  Iveco  Group  Business  are 
presented in a single line item “Profit/(Loss) from Discontinued Operations, net of tax” within the Consolidated Income Statement; 

	 all  assets  and  liabilities  (excluding  equity)  relating  to  Iveco  Group  Business  at  December  31,  2021  are  reclassified  as  Assets  held  for 
distribution and Liabilities held for distribution, respectively, within the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position;

	 for both years 2021 and 2020 (the latter presented for comparative purposes), the cash flows arising from the Iveco Group Business are 
presented in the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as separate line items under cash flows from operating, investing and financing 
activities.

For additional detail of items presented under Discontinued Operations in the Consolidated Statements of Income, Financial Position and 
Cash Flows, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements, section “Discontinued Operations - Iveco Group Business”.

Additionally, as the Demerger is a “business combination involving entities or businesses under common control”, it is outside the scope of 
application of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations and IFRIC 17- Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners. Accordingly, in the 2022 Consolidated 
Financial  Statements  for  CNH  Industrial  Post-Demerger  and  Iveco  Group,  the  opening  position  for  items  in  the  statement  of  financial 
position will be equivalent to the carrying amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of CNH Industrial Pre-Demerger.

231

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESCOVID-19 pandemic and use of accounting estimates and management’s assumptions 
The COVID-19 pandemic and the related actions of governments and other authorities to contain COVID-19 spread continue to affect 
CNH Industrial’s business, results and cash flow. 

Governments  in  many  countries  where  the  Company  operates,  designated  part  of  our  businesses  as  essential  critical  infrastructure 
businesses. This designation allows CNH Industrial to operate in support of its dealers and customers to the extent possible. CNH Industrial 
also continues to prioritize the health, safety and well-being of its employees.

The Company remains cautious about future impacts on CNH Industrial’s end-markets and business operations of restrictions on social 
interactions  and  business  operations  to  limit  the  resurgence  of  the  pandemic.  CNH  Industrial  is  closely  monitoring  the  impact  of  the 
COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, its employees and the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

The main impacts of the pandemic on significant accounting matters are disclosed below. 

The preparation of the Company Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported 
amounts of income, expenses, assets, liabilities, accumulated other comprehensive income and disclosure of contingent assets and contingent 
liabilities, as further described in the following paragraph “Use of estimates”. 

Due  to  the  currently  unforeseeable  global  consequences  of  the  COVID-19  pandemic,  these  estimates  and  assumptions  are  subject 
to  increased  uncertainty.  Actual  results  could  differ  materially  from  the  estimates  and  assumptions  used  in  preparation  of  the  financial 
statements. If in the future such estimates and assumptions, which are based on management’s best judgment at the date of the Company 
Financial Statements, deviate from the actual circumstances, the original estimates and assumptions will be modified as appropriate in the 
period in which the circumstances change.  

These Company Financial Statements include all updates of estimates and assumptions considered necessary by management to fairly state 
the Company’s results of operations and financial position. Updated estimates and assumptions to incorporate the expected consequences 
of the COVID-19 pandemic were also included in the analysis of the recoverability and collectability of financial assets, especially of receivables 
from financing activities. Finally, with regard to hedge accounting, estimates were updated concerning whether forecast transactions can still 
be assumed to be highly likely to occur.

CNH Industrial is exposed to operational financial risks such as credit risk, liquidity risk and market risk, mainly relating to exchange rates and 
interest rates. For a detailed description of this information see the “Risk management and Control System” section of the Board Report, 
Note 17 “Current receivables and Other current financial assets” and Note 30 “Information on financial risks” of the Consolidated Financial 
Statements included in this Annual Report.

Climate related matters
CNH Industrial has an established risk management process that includes the assessment and monitoring of climate-related risk. These 
assessments are used by the Company to identify not only risk exposure, but also opportunities, on which the Company’s climate change 
strategy is based. The identification of these climate-related risks and opportunities, along with the analysis of sustainability macrotrends, led 
to the definition of a decarbonization strategy, which in turn has been incorporated within, and regularly influences, the Company’s Strategic 
Business Plan. To further address the potential impacts of climate change, CNH Industrial has implemented relevant projects and a number 
of other specific climate-related topics and has defined long-term strategic targets (e.g., CO2 emissions reduction in manufacturing plants, 
reduction of CO2 emissions in logistics processes, share of product portfolio available with natural gas powertrains).
There has been increasing interest in how climate change will impact the Group’s business. With reference to the climate related matters, a 
critical review was undertaken, and a focused analysis performed to identify, and consequently manage, the principal risks and uncertainties 
to which the Group is exposed. The most significant area of effort will be the management of water scarcity and waste and the reducing 
energy and GHG emissions in the supply chain area. CNH Industrial recognizes the importance of climate change risk and promotes a 
responsible use of resources and a reduction of the environmental impact of production to mitigate climate change. In this context, CNH 
Industrial Group has adopted an environmental policy that applies to all company locations and divisions and has set up a structure dedicated 
to control environmental pollution, waste, and water disposal as well as emission reduction. 

In particular, considering the financial statements information are presented through historical values which, by their nature, do not fully 
capture future events, all significant assumptions and estimates underlying the preparation of the following items were subject to an analysis 
in order to identify and address the new uncertainties related to climate changes which could affect the business: going concern, inventory 
management, property, plant and equipment, goodwill, brands, intangible assets with a finite life, tax reliefs, revenue recognition, provisions 
and  onerous  contracts.  The  analysis  conducted  were  based  on  the  Group  strategy  outlined  in  the  context  of  the  global  supply  chain 
environmental targets and did not highlight any critical situations that cannot be attributable to and addressed in the ordinary course of the 
business.

232

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESFormat of the financial statements
As a consequence of the acquisition in 2014 of the manufacturing activity carried out in Basildon, CNH Industrial N.V. presents an income 
statement using a classification based on the function of the expenses (also referred to as the “cost of sales” method) rather than one based 
on their nature, as this is believed to provide information that is more relevant.

New standards and amendments effective from January 1, 2021
	 On August 27, 2020 the IASB issued Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 
16), which addresses the accounting for changes in the basis for determining contractual cash flows as a consequence of IBOR reform. 
Furthermore,  the  amendments  include  additional  temporary  exceptions  from  applying  specific  hedge  accounting  requirements  and 
additional disclosures. The amendments are effective retrospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021. 
These amendments had no impact on these Company Financial Statements. The Company intends to apply these amendments in the 
future periods if they become applicable. 

Accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not early adopted by the 
Company
The main accounting standards, amendments and interpretations not yet applicable and not early adopted by the Company are the following:

	 On May 14, 2020 the IASB issued Property, Plant and Equipment—Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16) to prohibit deducting 
from the cost of an item of property, plant and equipment any proceeds from selling items produced before that asset is available for use 
and clarifying the meaning of “testing whether an asset is functioning properly”. These amendments are effective retrospectively from 
January 1, 2022.

	 On May 14, 2020, the IASB issued Onerous Contracts—Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (Amendments to IAS 37) specifying that the cost of fulfilling 
a contract comprises the costs that relate directly to the contract, including both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an 
allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts. These amendments are effective retrospectively from January 1, 2022.

	 On  May  14,  2020  the  IASB  issued  the  Annual  Improvements  to  IFRS  2018-2020  Cycle.  The  most  important  topics  addressed  in  these 
amendments are: (i) on IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments clarifying which fees an entity includes when it applies the “10 per cent” test in 
assessing  whether  to  derecognize  a  financial  liability;  and  (ii)  on  IFRS  16  -  Leases  removing  the  illustration  of  the  reimbursement  of 
leasehold improvements. These improvements are effective from January 1, 2022.

Furthermore, at the date of the Company Financial Statements, the European Union has not yet completed its endorsement process for the 
amendments and improvements, as reported below.

The  Company  is  currently  evaluating  the  impact  of  the  adoption  of  these  amendments  and  improvements  on  its  Company  Financial 
Statements or disclosures:

	 On February 12, 2021 the IASB issued the Amendments to IAS 1 Presentation of Financial Statements and IFRS Practice Statement 2: Disclosure 
of  Accounting  policies,  requiring  to  disclose  the  material  accounting  policy  information  rather  than  the  significant  accounting  policies. 
Furthermore, the amendments to IFRS Practice Statement 2 provide guidance on how to apply the concept of materiality to accounting 
policy disclosures. This amendment is effective from January 1, 2023.

	 On February 12, 2021 the IASB issued the Amendments to IAS 8 Accounting policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors: Definition 
of Accounting Estimates. The amendments clarify how to distinguish changes in accounting policies (generally also applied retrospectively 
to past transactions and other past events) from changes in accounting estimates (applied prospectively only to future transactions and 
other future events). This amendment is effective from January 1, 2023.

	 On May 7, 2021 the IASB issued  Deferred Tax related to Assets and Liabilities arising from a Single Transaction (Amendments to IAS 12), 
which specifies how companies should account for deferred tax on transactions such as leases and decommissioning obligations. The 
amendments clarify that no exemption applies on such transactions and that companies are required to recognize deferred tax when 
they recognize the related assets or liabilities for the first time. The amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on 
or after January 1, 2023, with early application permitted.

recovered.

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESThe item Other primarily includes the impact of IAS 29 - Financial reporting in hyperinflationary economies applied for subsidiaries that prepare 
their financial statements in a functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy. In particular, from July 1, 2018, Argentina’s economy was 
considered to be hyperinflationary.

In  2021,  in  view  of  the  Demerger,  some  subsidiaries  were  involved  in  a  series  of  internal  transactions  in  order  to  optimize  the  Group 
structure and facilitate the transfer of the subsidiaries belonging to the On-Highway business, now part of Iveco Group since January 1, 2022.  

“Contribution  to  Investments  in  Group  companies  and  other  equity  interests”,  “Acquisitions”,  “Repayments  of  Capital  Reserves”  and 
“Disposal” include the impact of the various transfers which were part of the overall project.

A list of Company’s investments has been included under Appendix of this Annual Report.

At December 31, 2021, Other financial assets are represented by two U.S. dollar term loans facilities granted to Case New Holland Industrial 
Inc. In addition, Case New Holland Industrial Inc. issued a Promissory Note to the Company.

The first term loan was issued in August 2016 with maturity date August 15, 2023, consisting of a first tranche having fixed interest rate in the 
principal amount of $450 million or €397,316 thousand ($450 million or €366,718 thousand in 2020), and a second tranche having floating 
interest rate in the principal amount of $150 million or €132,439 thousand ($150 million or €122,239 thousand in 2020).

The second one was issued on November 14, 2017, with maturity date November 15, 2027, for a principal amount of $500 million or 
€441,462 thousand ($500 million or €407,465 thousand in 2020). The interest rate is fixed.

The increase of the carrying value of the two U.S. dollar term loans of €75,702 thousand is due to foreign exchange movement as the U.S. 
dollar strengthened against the euro during the current year.

On August 25, 2017, Case New Holland Industrial Inc. issued a Promissory Note to the Company in the principal amount of €350 million, 
with a maturity date of August 25, 2024. The Promissory Note carries a floating interest rate.

Moreover, Other financial assets include accrued interest charges related to the term loan facilities for €10,394 thousand (€9,487 thousand 
in 2020).

At December 31, 2021, the remaining amount of €42,946 thousand (€56,621 thousand in 2020) refers to the present value of the fees 
that the Company will collect in future years based on specific agreements for guarantees issued in favor of third parties in the interest 
of Group companies, mainly for bonds issued from Group companies and credit facilities granted to Group companies (see also Note 22 
“Non-current debt”).

The decrease of €13,675 thousand is mainly due to the reduction of the percentage applied for the commissions calculated on the guarantees 
issued and the amount of the guarantees issued.

Current financial receivables are mainly made up of short-term financial receivables from CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A., the Group 
Treasury company, for €274,856 thousand at December 31, 2021 (€181,272 thousand at December 31, 2020). Such financial receivables 
bear floating interest at market rate and their carrying amount is deemed to approximate their fair value. 

Assets from derivative financial instruments consist of derivative financial instruments measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. 
Derivative  instruments  are  classified  as  Level  2  in  the  fair  value  hierarchy.  CNH  Industrial  utilizes  derivative  instruments  to  mitigate  its 
exposure to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. Derivatives used as hedges are effective at reducing the risk associated with the 
exposure being hedged and are designated as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract.

16.  Other current assets 
At December 31, 2021, other current assets amounted to €85,506 thousand, a net increase of €13,693 thousand compared to December 31,

Receivables from Group companies for consolidated Italian corporate tax relate to taxes calculated on the taxable income contributed by 
Italian subsidiaries participating in the domestic tax consolidation program.

Receivables from Group companies for consolidated U.K. corporate tax relate to taxes calculated on the taxable income contributed by U.K. 
subsidiaries participating in the domestic tax consolidation program.

Following Brexit, the Italian VAT tax consolidation scheme was discontinued starting from January 1, 2020 and, as a result, the Group’s 
subsidiaries directly manage relations with the Italian Tax Authority, thereby significantly reducing relations with the parent company. 

Other current assets are entirely due within one year.

During 2021, CNH Industrial completed a strategic project to separate the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain 
business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business”) from the Agriculture business, the Construction 
business, and the related Financial Services business.

The Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. in accordance with Section 2:334a (3) of the Dutch Civil Code (Burgerlijk 
Wetboek) by way of a legal statutory demerger ( juridische afsplitsing) to Iveco Group N.V. (the “Demerger”), effective January 1, 2022.

As the transaction took effect on January 1, 2022, the Company financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 relate to CNH 
Industrial Pre-Demerger. 

The share of the profit of Iveco Group Business was recognized within the line item “Result from Investments in Group companies and other 
equity interests” and amounts to €52,000 thousand (excluding non-controlling interests).

The above value of net assets to be demerged is equivalent to the effect of the Demerger on equity. The amount of €2,289,000 thousand 
reduced the Capital Reserves of the Company as at January 1, 2022.

As values for the Demerger are based on the reported carrying amounts, and in these Company financial statements the Investments in 
subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method, no gains or losses were recognized and, accordingly, the above items were also 
transferred to Iveco Group N.V at their book value as resulting in the Company Financial Statements at December 31, 2021. 

The short term financial payables to CNH Industrial Finance S.p.A. relate to an unsecure uncommitted revolving credit facility which was 
transferred to Iveco Group N.V. for a total amount of €1,568,000 thousand. The amount was fully paid by Iveco Group N.V. in January 2022.

Other  movements  of  Retained  profit/(loss)  includes  the  impact  of  IAS  29  -  Financial  reporting  in  hyperinflationary  economies  applied  for 
subsidiaries that prepare their financial statements in a functional currency of a hyperinflationary economy. In particular, from July 1, 2018, 
Argentina’s economy was considered to be hyperinflationary. 

As  the  Company  financial  statements  are  prepared  using  the  same  measurement  principles  of  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements, 
including the investments that are accounted for using the equity method, the total Company equity of €7,410 million as of December 31, 
2021 is in line with the Consolidated equity (excluding non-controlling interest) of $8,393 million converted using the exchange rate as of 
December 31, 2021 of 1.1326. In addition, the Company profit for the year of €1,470 million equals the consolidated profit (excluding non-
controlling interest) of $1,739 million converted using the average exchange rate for 2021 of 1.1827.

The increase in equity of €1,990,287 thousand over year-end 2020 is mainly the result of the profit for the year of €1,470,314 thousand, the 
positive changes in Other comprehensive income arising from the positive effect of currency translation differences of €530,797 thousand, 
from the gains on the remeasurement of defined benefit plans of €131,897 thousand, and from the positive impact of the transactions 
accounted  for  under  the  Cash  flow  hedge  reserves  of  €16,064  thousand,  partly  offset  by  the  losses  on  the  remeasurement  of  Equity 
Investments at fair value through OCI of €114,987 thousand.

The  positive  effect  of  currency  translation  differences  of  €530,797  thousand  includes  the  valuation  of  the  opening  balances  of  Equity 
converted using the exchange rate as of December 31, 2021 of 1.1326.

Share capital 
The Articles of Association of CNH Industrial N.V. provide for authorized share capital of €40 million, divided into 2 billion common shares 
and 2 billion special voting shares to be held with associated common shares, each with a per share par value of €0.01. As of December 31, 
2021, the Company’s share capital was €18 million (equivalent to $25 million), fully paid-in, and consisted of 1,364,400,196 common shares 
(1,356,077,000 common shares outstanding, net of 8,323,196 common shares held in treasury by the Company as described in the following 
section) and 396,474,276 special voting shares (371,218,250 special voting shares outstanding, net of 25,256,026 special voting shares held in 
treasury by the Company as described in the section below).

During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 109.904 million and 16.6 million special voting shares, respectively, were acquired 
by the Company following the de-registration of the corresponding number of qualifying common shares from the Loyalty Register, net of 
transfer and allocation of special voting shares in accordance with the Special Voting Shares - Terms and Conditions.

Furthermore, during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company delivered 2.2 million and 3.8 million common shares, 
respectively, under the Company’s stock compensation plan, primarily due to the vesting or exercise of share-based awards. See paragraph 
below “Share-based compensation” for further discussion.

The Company is required to maintain a special capital reserve to be credited against the share premium exclusively for the purpose of 
facilitating any issuance or cancellation of special voting shares. The special voting shares do not carry any entitlement to the balance of the 
special capital reserve. The Board of Directors is authorized to resolve upon (i) any distribution out of the special capital reserve to pay up 
special voting shares or (ii) re-allocation of amounts to credit or debit the special capital reserve against or in favor of the share premium 
reserve.

The Company is required to maintain a separate dividend reserve for the special voting shares. The special voting shares shall not carry any 
entitlement to any other reserve of the Company. Any distribution out of the special voting shares dividend reserve or the partial or full 
release of such reserve will require a prior proposal from the Board of Directors and a subsequent resolution of the general meeting of 
holders of special voting shares.

From the profits, shown in the annual accounts, as adopted, such amounts shall be reserved as the Board of Directors may determine.

The profits remaining thereafter shall first be applied to allocate and add to the special voting shares dividend reserve an amount equal to 
one percent (1%) of the aggregate nominal amount of all outstanding special voting shares. The calculation of the amount to be allocated and 
added to the special voting shares dividend reserve shall occur on a time-proportionate basis. If special voting shares are issued during the 
financial year to which the allocation and addition pertains, then the amount to be allocated and added to the special voting shares dividend 
reserve in respect of these newly issued special voting shares shall be calculated as from the date on which such special voting shares were 
issued until the last day of the financial year concerned. The special voting shares shall not carry any other entitlement to the profits.

Any profits remaining thereafter shall be at the disposal of the general meeting of shareholders for distribution of dividend on the common 
shares only subject to the provision that the distribution of profits shall be made after the adoption of the annual accounts, from which it 
appears that the same is permitted.

Subject to a prior proposal of the Board of Directors, the general meeting of shareholders may declare and pay dividends in U.S. dollars. 
Furthermore, subject to the approval of the general meeting of shareholders and the Board of Directors having been designated as the body 
competent to pass a resolution for the issuance of shares in accordance with Article 5 of the Articles of Association, the Board of Directors 
may decide that a distribution shall be made in the form of shares or that shareholders shall be given the option to receive a distribution 
either in cash or in the form of shares.

243

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESDividend Proposal and appropriation of the result
On March 1, 2022, the Board of Directors of CNH Industrial N.V. recommended and proposed to the Company’s shareholders that the 
Company declare a dividend of €0.28 per common share, totaling approximately €380 million (equivalent to approximately $426 million, 
translated at the exchange rate reported by the European Central Bank on February 25, 2022). The proposal is subject to the approval of 
the Company’s shareholders at the AGM to be held on April 13, 2022.

If the proposed dividend is approved, it is expected that the dividend will be paid on May 4, 2022 on the outstanding common shares. The 
record date for the dividend will be April 20, 2022 on both Euronext Milan and NYSE and the outstanding common shares will be quoted 
ex-dividend from April 19, 2022.

Subject to the adoption of the Annual Financial Statements by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders and after the allocation of the 
relevant amount to the special voting shares dividend reserve in accordance with article 22, paragraph 4, of the Articles of Association, any 
profits remaining shall be allocated to the Retained earnings and be at the disposal of the general meeting of shareholders for distribution of 
dividend on the outstanding common shares only, based on the recommendations and proposal of the Board of Directors and subject to 
the provision of the Article 22, paragraph 8, of the Articles of Association.

On April 15, 2021, at the AGM, CNH Industrial N.V. shareholders approved a dividend of €0.11 per common share, as recommended on 
March 3, 2021 by the Board of Directors. The cash dividend was declared in euro and paid on May 5, 2021 for a total amount of $178 million 
(€149 million).

The Company shall only have power to make distributions to shareholders and other persons entitled to distributable profits to the extent 
the Company’s equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up portion of the share capital and the reserves that must be maintained in accordance 
with provision of law. No distribution of profits may be made to the Company itself for shares that the Company holds in its own share 
capital. 

The Board of Directors has the power to declare one or more interim dividends, provided that the requirements of the Article 22 paragraph 
5 of the Articles of Association are duly observed as evidenced by an interim statement of assets and liabilities as referred to in Article 2:105 
paragraph 4 of the Dutch Civil Code and provided further that the policy of the Company on additions to reserves and dividends is duly 
observed. The provisions of the Article 22 paragraphs 2 and 3 of the Articles of Association shall apply mutatis mutandis.

The Board of Directors may determine that dividends or interim dividends, as the case may be, shall be paid, in whole or in part, from the 
Company’s share premium reserve or from any other reserve, provided that payments from reserves may only be made to the shareholders 
that are entitled to the relevant reserve upon the dissolution of the Company.

Dividends and other distributions of profit shall be made payable in the manner and at such date(s) - within four weeks after declaration 
thereof - and notice thereof shall be given, as the general meeting of shareholders, or in the case of interim dividends, the Board of Directors 
shall determine, provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall have the right to determine that each payment of annual dividends in 
respect of shares be deferred for a period not exceeding five consecutive annual periods.

Dividends and other distributions of profit, which have not been collected within five years and one day after the same have become 
payable, shall become the property of the Company.

In the event of a winding-up, a resolution to dissolve the Company can only be passed by a general meeting of shareholders pursuant to a 
prior proposal of the Board of Directors. In the event a resolution is passed to dissolve the Company, the Company shall be wound-up by 
the Board of Directors, unless the general meeting of shareholders would resolve otherwise.

The general meeting of shareholders shall appoint and decide on the remuneration of the liquidators.

Until the winding-up of the Company has been completed, the Articles of Association of the Company shall to the extent possible, remain 
in full force and effect.

Loyalty voting Program
In order to reward long-term ownership of the Company’s common shares and promote stability of its shareholder base, the Articles of 
Association of CNH Industrial N.V. provide for a loyalty-voting program that grants eligible long-term shareholders the equivalent of two 
votes for each CNH Industrial N.V. common share that they hold. This has been accomplished through the issuance of special voting shares.

A shareholder may at any time elect to participate in the loyalty voting program by requesting the registration of all or some of the common 
shares held by such shareholder in a separate register (the “Loyalty Register”) of the Company. If such common shares have been registered 
in the Loyalty Register for an uninterrupted period of three years in the name of the same shareholder, such shares will become “Qualifying 
Common Shares” and the relevant shareholder will be entitled to receive one special voting share for each such Qualifying Common Share 
which can be retained only for so long as the shareholder retains the associated common share and registers it in the Loyalty Register.

Shareholders are not required to pay any amount to the Company in connection with the allocation of the special voting shares.

244

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESThe common shares are freely transferable, while, special voting shares are transferable exclusively in limited circumstances and they are 
not listed on the NYSE or the Euronext Milan. In particular, at any time, a holder of common shares that are Qualifying Common Shares 
who wants to transfer such common shares other than in limited specified circumstances (e.g., transfers to affiliates or relatives through 
succession, donation or other transfers) must request a de-registration of such Qualifying Common Shares from the Loyalty Register. After 
de-registration from the Loyalty Register, such common shares no longer qualify as Qualifying Common Shares and, as a result, the holder 
of such common shares is required to transfer the special voting shares associated with the transferred common shares to the Company 
for no consideration. 

The special voting shares have minimal economic entitlements as the purpose of the special voting shares is to grant long-term shareholders 
with an extra voting right by means of granting an additional special voting share, without granting such shareholders with any additional 
economic  rights.  However,  as  a  matter  of  Dutch  law,  such  special  voting  shares  cannot  be  fully  excluded  from  economic  entitlements. 
Therefore, the Articles of Association provide that only a minimal dividend accrues to the special voting shares, which is not distributed, but 
allocated to a separate special dividend reserve. The impact of this special voting dividend reserve on the earnings per share of the common 
shares is not material.

Treasury shares
In order to maintain the necessary operating flexibility over an adequate time period, including the implementation of the program in place, 
on April 16, 2020, the Annual General Meeting (“AGM”) granted to the Board of Directors the authority to acquire common shares in the 
capital of the Company through stock exchange trading on the Euronext Milan and the NYSE or otherwise for a period of 18 months (i.e., 
up to and including October 15, 2021). Under such authorization the Board’s authority is limited to a maximum of up to 10% of the issued 
common shares as of the date of the AGM and, in compliance with applicable rules and regulations, subject to a maximum price per common 
share equal to the average of the highest price on each of the five trading days prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price 
List of the Euronext Milan or NYSE (as the case may be) plus 10% (maximum price) and to a minimum price per common share equal to the 
average of the lowest price on each of the five trading days prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the Euronext 
Milan or NYSE (as the case may be) minus 10% (minimum price). 

Neither  the  renewal  of  the  authorization,  nor  the  launch  of  any  program  obliges  the  Company  to  buy-back  any  common  shares.  The 
launch of any new program will be subject to a further resolution of the Board of Directors. In any event, such program may be suspended, 
discontinued or modified at any time for any reason and without previous notice, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.

During the year ended  December  31, 2021, the Company repurchased no shares of its common stock on the Euronext Milan and on 
multilateral  trading  facilities  (“MTFs”)  under  the  buy-back  program.  As  of  December 31,  2021,  the  Company  held  8.3 million  common 
shares in treasury, net of transfers of common shares to fulfill its obligations under its stock compensation plans, at an aggregate cost of 
$ 80.6 million. Depending on market and business conditions and other factors, the Company may continue or suspend purchasing its 
common stock at any time without notice. 

At the 2022 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors intends to recommend to the Company’s shareholders the 
renewal of the authorization to repurchase up to a maximum of 10% of the Company’s issued common shares.

During  the  year  ended  December  31,  2021,  the  Company  acquired  approximately  109.904  million  special  voting  shares  following  the 
de-registration of qualifying common shares from the Loyalty Register, net of the transfer and allocation of special voting shares to those 
shareholders whose qualifying common shares became eligible to receive special voting shares after the uninterrupted three-year registration 
period in the Loyalty Register. As of December 31, 2021, the Company held 25.3 million special voting shares in treasury.

Effects of the Demerger on the treasury shares held by CNH Industrial N.V.
CNH Industrial N.V. did not receive any shares in Iveco Group as a part of the Demerger, the portion of the shares held in treasury by CNH 
Industrial N.V. was not eligible to be part of the Demerger and consequent allotment of Iveco Group N.V. shares.

Capital reserves
At December 31, 2021, capital reserves amounting to €2,477 million (€2,413 million at December 31, 2020) mainly consist of the share 
premium deriving from the Merger.

Effects of the Demerger on the Capital reserves of CNH Industrial N.V.
The value of the net assets to be demerged equals to €2,289 million and will reduce the Capital reserves of CNH Industrial N.V. accordingly.

245

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESLegal reserves
As of December 31, 2021, legal reserves amounted to €1,624 million (€902 million at December 31, 2020) and mainly relate to unrealized 
currency translation losses and other OCI components for a net negative amount of €1,130 million, and other reserves for €2,754 million.

Other OCI components includes primarily net unrealized actuarial losses related to the defined benefit plans which as of December 31, 2021 
amounted to €298 million (€469 million at December 31, 2020). This part is considered distributable reserve. Being a negative amount, it 
reduced the overall amount available to the distribution.  

As a consequence, the total amount considered not distributable as of December 31, 2021 equaled to €2,772 million (€2,613 million at 
December 31, 2020). As a result, the distributable reserves as at December 31, 2021 amounted to €4,639 million.

Other reserves are made up by research and development costs capitalized by the Company for €5 million and by the equity investments 
for €1,806 million (€17 million and €1,765 million, respectively, at December 31, 2020), earnings from affiliated companies subject to certain 
restrictions on the transfer of funds to the parent company in form of dividend or otherwise for €511 million (€376 million at December 31, 
2020) and earnings from subsidiaries that due to local law requirements cannot be distributed as dividend, unless the subsidiary is liquidated, 
for €432 million (€437 million at December 31, 2020).

Pursuant to Dutch law, limitations exist relating to the distribution of shareholders’ equity for the entire amount of the legal reserves. By 
their nature, unrealized losses relating to currency translation differences reduce shareholders’ equity and thereby distributable amounts. 

Share-based compensation 
CNH Industrial’s equity awards are governed by several plans: i) CNH Industrial N.V. Equity Incentive Plan (“CNH Industrial EIP”); ii) CNH 
Industrial N.V. Directors’ Compensation Plan (“CNH Industrial DCP”); iii) CNH Global N.V. Equity Incentive Plan (“CNH EIP”); and, iv) 
CNH Global N.V. Directors’ Compensation Plan (“CNH DCP”).

For more information on Share-based compensation see Note 21 “Equity” of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

20.  Provisions for employee benefits 
CNH Industrial N.V. provides pension, healthcare and insurance plans and other post-employment benefits to their employees and retirees, 
either directly or by contributing to independently administered funds. These benefits are generally based on the employees’ remuneration 
and years of service. 

The Company provides post-employment benefits under defined contribution and defined benefit plans.

In the case of defined contribution plans, the Company makes contributions to publicly or privately administered pension insurance plans on 
a mandatory, contractual or voluntary basis. Once the contributions have been made, the Company has no further payment obligations. The 
Company recognizes the contribution cost when the employees have rendered their service and includes this cost by function in Cost of 
sales, Selling, general and administrative costs and Research and development costs. During the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, 
CNH Industrial N.V. recorded expenses of €12,059 thousand and €10,849 thousand, respectively, for its defined contribution plans, inclusive 
of social security contributions in the categories as described above.

Defined benefit plans may be unfunded, or they may be wholly or partly funded by contributions made by an entity, and sometimes by 
its employees, into an entity, or fund, that is legally separate from the employer from which the employee benefits are paid. Benefits are 
generally payable under these plans after the completion of employment. Defined benefits plans are classified by the Company as Pension 
plans or Other post-employment benefits on the basis of the type of benefit provided.

246

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESPension plans
The item Pension plans principally comprise the obligations towards certain employees and former employees of the CNH Industrial Group 
in the United Kingdom. 

Under these plans, contributions are made to a separate fund (trust) which independently administers the plan assets. The Company’s 
funding policy is to meet the minimum funding requirements pursuant to the laws and regulations of each individual country. The Company 
may also choose to make discretionary contributions in addition to the funding requirements. To the extent that a fund is overfunded, the 
Company is not required to make further contribution to the plan in respect of a minimum performance requirements so long as the fund 
is in surplus.

Following collective consultation with members of the United Kingdom defined benefit pension plans, these arrangements closed to future 
accrual on January 31, 2020. Active employees were transferred to the Company’s, market competitive, defined contribution arrangement.

The benefits accrued for active members up to January 31, 2020 were not affected by the closure. The closure to future accrual also had no 
impact on deferred or pensioner members of the plans.

Other post-employment benefits
Other  post-employment  benefits  consist  of  obligations  for  Italian  Employee  Leaving  Entitlements  up  to  December  31,  2006.  The  TFR 
scheme has since changed to a defined contribution plan. The obligation on our balance sheet represents the residual reserve for years 
prior to December 31, 2006 relating to the Italian employees of the Italian branch. 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.

Assumed discount rates are used in measurements of pension and other post-employment benefit obligations and net interest on the net 
defined benefit liability/asset. CNH Industrial selects its assumed discount rates based on the consideration of equivalent yields on high-
quality fixed income investments at the measurement date. The discount rates are based on a benefit cash flow-matching approach and 
represent the rates at which the benefit obligations could effectively be settled as of the measurement date, December 31. The benefit 
cash flow-matching approach involves analyzing the CNH Industrial’s projected cash flows against a high-quality bond yield curve, mainly 
calculated  using  a  wide  population  of  AA-yield  corporate  bonds  subject  to  minimum  amounts  outstanding  and  meeting  other  defined 
selection criteria. The discount rates for CNH Industrial’s remaining obligations are based on benchmark yield data of high-quality fixed 
income investments for which the timing and amounts of payments approximate the timing and amounts of projected benefit payments.

Assumed discount rates have a significant effect on the amount recognized in the 2021 financial statements. A one percentage point change 
in assumed discount rates would have the following effects:

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESPlan assets
The investment strategy varies depending on the circumstances of the underlying plan. Typically, less mature plan benefit obligations are 
funded by using more equity securities as they are expected to achieve long-term growth while exceeding the rate of 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.

Plan assets do not include treasury shares of CNH Industrial N.V. or properties occupied by it. The fair value of the plan assets at December 31, 
2021 may be disaggregated by asset class and level as follows. Fair value levels presented below are described in the “Significant accounting

At December 31, 2021, Non-current debt totaled €1,026,978 thousand and consisted mainly of two Bonds:

	 $600 million at an interest rate of 4.50%, due on August 15, 2023, issued by the Company in August 2016. The outstanding amount at year 
end is $600 million. The bond is valued using the amortized cost, for a corresponding amount of €538,630  thousand at December 31, 2021 
(€498,904 thousand at December 31, 2020). At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bond is €556,936 thousand (€542,391 thousand 
at December 31, 2020).

	 $500 million at an interest rate of 3.85%, due on November 15, 2027, issued by the Company in November 2017. The outstanding 
amount at year end is $500 million. The bond is valued using the amortized cost, for a corresponding amount of €435,008 thousand at 
December 31, 2021 (€409,292 thousand at December 31, 2020). At December 31, 2021, the fair value of the bond is €441,462 thousand 
(€462,823 thousand at December 31, 2020).

The increase of the carrying value of the two Bonds of €65,443 thousand is mainly driven by the foreign exchange movement as the U.S. 
dollar strengthened against the euro during the current year.

The two Bonds are classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. Their fair value has been estimated making reference to quoted prices in 
active markets.

The two bonds issued by the Company contain commitments of the issuer which are typical of international practice for bonds issues of this 
type such as, in particular, negative pledge (in relation to quoted indebtedness), a status (or pari passu) and cross default clauses. A breach 
of these commitments can lead to the early repayment of the issued notes. In addition, the bonds contain clauses which could lead to early 
repayment if there is a change of control of CNH Industrial N.V. leading to a rating downgrading. At December 31, 2021 there were no 
breaches of such commitments.

The Company intends to repay the issued bonds in cash at the due date by utilizing available liquid resources. In addition, it can buy back its 
issued bonds. Such buy backs, if made, depend upon market conditions, the financial situation of the Group and other factors which could 
affect such decisions.

At December 31, 2021, Non-current debt included also the item financial guarantees for €42,946 thousand (€56,621 thousand in 2020) 
that represent the fair value of liabilities assumed in relation to guarantees issued by the Company. Following an assessment of potential risks 
requiring recognition of contingent liabilities and given that those liabilities essentially related to guarantees issued in favor of third parties in 
the interest of Group companies, mainly for bonds issued from Group companies and loans granted to Group companies, the present value

The  short  term  financial  payables  to  CNH  Industrial  Finance  Europe  S.A.  relate  to  an  unsecured  uncommitted  revolving  credit  facility 
agreement with CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A., where the latter has made available to CNH Industrial N.V. an uncommitted facility in 
a maximum aggregate amount of €6.5 billion. 

The short term financial payables to CNH Industrial Finance S.p.A. and CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. bear floating interest at market 
rate. Such credit facilities are unsecured.

At December 31, 2021 the current financial payables to be transferred from the Company to Iveco Group N.V. pursuant to the Demerger 
as at January 1, 2022, amounted to €1,568,000 thousand (see Note 18).

The carrying amount of those liabilities is deemed to be in line with their fair value.

On March 22, 2021 and on June 23, 2021, the Company reimbursed the two bank loans of €300,000 thousand and €150,000 thousand, 
respectively.

252

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTESThe first bank loan of €300,000 thousand had the maturity date January 19, 2022, but it was repaid in advance.

Liability from derivative financial instruments consist of derivative financial instruments measured at fair value at the balance sheet date. 

Derivative instruments are classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

CNH Industrial utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations. Derivatives used as 
hedges are effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and are designated as a hedge at the inception of the 
derivative contract. 

25.  Other debt
At December 31, 2021, other debt totaled €168,844 thousand, a net increase of €46,165 thousand over December 31, 2020, and included

Intercompany  debt  for consolidated Italian corporate tax of €43,776 thousand (€37,460  thousand at  December  31, 2020)  consisted  of 
compensation payable for tax losses and Italian corporate tax credits contributed by Italian subsidiaries participating in the domestic tax 
consolidation program for 2021, in relation to which CNH Industrial N.V. is the consolidating entity.

Following Brexit, the Italian VAT tax consolidation scheme was discontinued starting from January 1, 2020 and, as a result, the Group’s 
subsidiaries directly manage relations with the Italian Tax Authority, thereby significantly reducing relations with the parent company. Hence 
the reduction in intercompany VAT receivables and payables.

At December 31, 2021, Taxes payable-indirect tax consisted of VAT payable due in the U.K.

Other debt and taxes payable are all due within one year and their carrying amount is deemed to approximate their fair value.

26.  Guarantees, commitments and contingent liabilities 
Guarantees issued
At December 31, 2021, Guarantees issued totaled €4,174,336 thousand, decreasing by €753,760 thousand over December 31, 2020. 

All guarantees were issued in favour of third parties and in the interest of Group companies and were made up as follows:

	 €3,643,548 thousand for ten bonds issued from CNH Industrial Finance Europe SA under the Euro Medium Term Notes Programme (and

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021NOTES29.  Subsequent events
CNH Industrial has evaluated subsequent events through March 1, 2022, which is the date the financial statements were authorized for 
issuance, and identified the following: 

	 Effective January 1, 2022, the Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. by way of a legal statutory demerger to 
Iveco Group N.V. and Iveco Group became a public listed company independent from CNH Industrial with its common shares trading on 
Euronext Milan, a regulated market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. (See Note 18)

	 On January 4, 2022 Fitch Ratings raised its Long-Term Issuer Default Rating 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 Issuer Default Ratings and senior unsecured debt ratings of CNH Industrial Capital LLC 
(CNHI Capital) and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. (CNH Canada) to ‘BBB+’ from ‘BBB-’. The Rating Outlook is Stable. Fitch has 
also upgraded CNHI Capital’s Short-Term IDR and commercial paper (CP) ratings to ‘F2’ from ‘F3’.

	 On February 22, 2022, CNH Industrial N.V. held an Investors Day, presenting its Strategic Business Plan for the years 2022 to 2024.

	 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. Limited and CNH Industrial

	 In order to optimize the capital structure of the Company and to meet the obligations arising from the Company’s equity incentive plans, 
on March 1, 2022, CNH Industrial announced a share buy-back program (the “Program”) up to €100 million, within the framework 
of the authorization granted by the Shareholders’ Meeting held on April 15, 2021, whereby the Board is vested with the authority to 
purchase up to 10% of the Company’s issued common shares during the eighteen-month period following such Shareholders’ Meeting. 
The purchases will be carried out on the Italian Stock Exchange (Euronext Milan) and on multilateral trading facilities (MTFs), in compliance 
with applicable rules and regulations, subject to a maximum price per common share equal to the average of the highest price on each of 
the five trading days prior to the date of acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the Euronext Milan plus 10% (maximum price) 
and to a minimum price per common share equal to the average of the lowest price on each of the five trading days prior to the date of 
acquisition, as shown in the Official Price List of the Euronext Milan minus 10% (minimum price). The actual timing, number and value of 
common shares repurchased under the Program will depend on various factors, including market conditions, general business conditions, 
and compliance with applicable legal requirements. The Program does not oblige the Company to repurchase any common shares, and 
it may be suspended, discontinued, or modified upwards at any time, for any reason and without previous notice, in accordance with 
applicable laws and regulations.

Independent Auditor’s Report
The report of the Company’s independent auditor, Ernst & Young Accountants LLP, The Netherlands is set forth following this Annual 
Report.

Appropriation of the result of the year
Subject to the adoption of the Annual Financial Statements by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders and after the allocation of the 
relevant amount to the special voting shares dividend reserve in accordance with article 22, paragraph 4, of the Articles of Association, any 
profits remaining shall be allocated to the Retained earnings and be at the disposal of the general meeting of shareholders for distribution of 
dividend on the outstanding common shares only, based on the recommendations and proposal of the Board of Directors and subject to 
the provision of the Article 22, paragraph 8, of the Articles of Association.

Dividends under Articles of Association provisions 
Dividends will be determined in accordance with the articles 22 of the Articles of Association of CNH Industrial N.V. The relevant provisions 
of the Articles of Association read as follows:

1.  The  Company  shall  maintain  a  special  capital  reserve  to  be  credited  against  the  share  premium  exclusively  for  the  purpose  of 
facilitating any issuance or cancellation of special voting shares. The special voting shares shall not carry any entitlement to the balance 
of the special capital reserve. The Board of Directors shall be authorized to resolve upon (i) any distribution out of the special capital 
reserve to pay up special voting shares or (ii) re-allocation of amounts to credit or debit the special capital reserve against or in favour 
of the share premium reserve. 

2.  The Company shall maintain a separate dividend reserve for the special voting shares. The special voting shares shall not carry any 
entitlement to any other reserve of the Company. Any distribution out of the special voting shares dividend reserve or the partial 
or full release of such reserve will require a prior proposal from the Board of Directors and a subsequent resolution of the general 
meeting of holders of special voting shares. 

3.  From the profits, shown in the annual accounts, as adopted, such amounts shall be reserved as the Board of Directors may determine. 

4.  The profits remaining thereafter shall first be applied to allocate and add to the special voting shares dividend reserve an amount 
equal to one percent (1%) of the aggregate nominal amount of all outstanding special voting shares. The calculation of the amount to 
be allocated and added to the special voting shares dividend reserve shall occur on a time-proportionate basis. If special voting shares 
are issued during the financial year to which the allocation and addition pertains, then the amount to be allocated and added to the 
special voting shares dividend reserve in respect of these newly issued special voting shares shall be calculated as from the date on 
which such special voting shares were issued until the last day of the financial year concerned. The special voting shares shall not carry 
any other entitlement to the profits. 

258

COMPANY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS  AT DECEMBER 31, 2021OTHER INFORMATION5.  Any profits remaining thereafter shall be at the disposal of the general meeting of shareholders for distribution of dividend on the 

common shares only, subject to the provision of paragraph 8 of this article. 

6.  Subject to a prior proposal of the Board of Directors, the general meeting of shareholders may declare and pay dividends in U.S. dollars. 
Furthermore, subject to the approval of the general meeting of shareholders and the Board of Directors having been designated as 
the body competent to pass a resolution for the issuance of shares in accordance with Article 5 of the Articles of Association, the 
Board of Directors may decide that a distribution shall be made in the form of shares or that shareholders shall be given the option 
to receive a distribution either in cash or in the form of shares. 

7.  The Company shall only have power to make distributions to shareholders and other persons entitled to distributable profits to the 
extent the Company’s equity exceeds the sum of the paid-up portion of the share capital and the reserves that must be maintained 
in accordance with provision of law. No distribution of profits may be made to the Company itself for shares that the Company holds 
in its own share capital. 

8.  The distribution of profits shall be made after the adoption of the annual accounts, from which it appears that the same is permitted. 

9.  The Board of Directors shall have power to declare one or more interim dividends, provided that the requirements of paragraph 5 
hereof are duly observed as evidenced by an interim statement of assets and liabilities as referred to in Article 2:105 paragraph 4 of 
the Dutch Civil Code and provided further that the policy of the Company on additions to reserves and dividends is duly observed. 
The provisions of paragraphs 2 and 3 hereof shall apply mutatis mutandis. 

10.  The Board of Directors may determine that dividends or interim dividends, as the case may be, shall be paid, in whole or in part, from 
the Company’s share premium reserve or from any other reserve, provided that payments from reserves may only be made to the 
shareholders that are entitled to the relevant reserve upon the dissolution of the Company. 

11.  Dividends  and  other  distributions  of  profit  shall  be  made  payable  in  the  manner  and  at  such  date(s)  -  within  four  weeks  after 
declaration thereof - and notice thereof shall be given, as the general meeting of shareholders, or in the case of interim dividends, 
the Board of Directors shall determine, provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall have the right to determine that each 
payment of annual dividends in respect of shares be deferred for a period not exceeding five consecutive annual periods. 

12.  Dividends and other distributions of profit, which have not been collected within five years and one day after the same have become 

payable, shall become the property of the Company.

Basis for our opinion
We  conducted  our  audit  in  accordance  with  Dutch  law,  including  the  Dutch  Standards  on  Auditing.  Our  responsibilities  under  those 
standards are further described in the Our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report.

We  are  independent  of  CNH  Industrial  N.V.  in  accordance  with  the  EU  Regulation  on  specific  requirements  regarding  statutory  audit 
of  public-interest  entities,  the  “Wet  toezicht  accountantsorganisaties”  (Wta,  Audit  firms  supervision  act),  the  “Verordening  inzake  de 
onafhankelijkheid van accountants bij assurance-opdrachten” (ViO, Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants, a regulation with respect 
to independence) and other relevant independence regulations in the Netherlands. Furthermore we have complied with the “Verordening 
gedrags- en beroepsregels accountants” (VGBA, Dutch Code of Ethics). 

We believe the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. 

Information in support of our opinion
We designed our audit procedures in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and in forming our opinion thereon. The 
following information in support of our opinion and any findings were addressed in this context, and we do not provide a separate opinion 
or conclusion on these matters.

272

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTOur understanding of the business
CNH Industrial is a company in the capital goods sector that, through its various businesses, designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment, 
construction equipment, trucks, commercial vehicles, buses and specialty vehicles in addition to powertrain applications. CNH Industrial 
also offers financial products and services. The group is structured in segments and components and we tailored our group audit approach 
accordingly. We paid specific attention in our audit to a number of areas driven by the operations of the group and our risk assessment. 
On December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial and Iveco Group N.V. (“Iveco Group”) have executed the deed of demerger whereby, effective 
January 1, 2022, the relevant Iveco Group business segments (trucks, commercial vehicles, buses, specialty vehicles as well as powertrain 
applications) will separate from CNH Industrial and Iveco Group will become a public listed company independent from CNH Industrial 
N.V. Therefore in the 2021 financial statements of CNH Industrial N.V. the Iveco Group business segments are presented as discontinued 
operations.

We start by determining materiality and identifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due 
to fraud or error in order to design audit procedures responsive to those risks and to obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate 
to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from 
error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

Materiality

Materiality

$100 million (or €88 million) (2020: $90 million or €73 million)

Benchmark applied

Approximately 5% of adjusted EBIT (2020: approximately 5% of normalized adjusted EBIT)

Explanation

Materiality is based on adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT), as we consider an earnings-based measure to 
be an appropriate basis for determining our overall materiality. The users of the financial statements of profit-oriented 
entities tend to focus on EBIT. We believe that EBIT is an important metric for the financial performance of the company. 
Adjustments are made to EBIT for elements which are not directly related to the operational performance of the company 
(restructuring costs, goodwill impairment loss and other discrete items as disclosed in the paragraph Industrial Activities per-
formance, as part of the operating and financial review and prospects in the annual report. 

In determining this year’s materiality, we have considered the company’s continuing operations and adjusted for activities 
relating of the demerger of the Iveco Group Business. 

Whilst we considered alternative benchmarks to adjusted EBIT, we believe that a adjusted EBIT approach to materiality is 
appropriate.

We have also taken into account misstatements and/or possible misstatements that in our opinion are material for the users of the financial 
statements for qualitative reasons.

We agreed with audit committee that misstatements in excess of $5 million, which are identified during the audit, would be reported to 
them, as well as smaller misstatements that in our view must be reported on qualitative grounds.

Scope of the group audit
CNH Industrial N.V. is the parent of a group of entities (collectively referred to as ‘the Group’). The consolidated financial statements of the 
Group as at December 31, 2021, include CNH Industrial N.V. and 202 consolidated subsidiaries. The Group is organized in five reportable 
segments, being Agriculture, Construction, Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, Powertrain and Financial Services, along with certain other 
corporate functions which are not included in the reportable segments. The Group organizes its operations into 214 components in the 
consolidation and reporting system.

Because we are ultimately responsible for the opinion, we are also responsible for directing, supervising and performing the group audit. In 
this respect we have determined the nature and extent of the audit procedures to be carried out for group entities. Decisive were the size 
and/or the risk profile of the group entities or operations. On this basis, we selected group entities for which an audit or review had to be 
carried out on the complete set of financial information or specific items.  

Accordingly,  we  identified  16  of  CNH  Industrial  N.V.’s  components,  which,  in  our  view,  required  an  audit  of  their  complete  financial 
information. Specific audit procedures on certain balances and transactions were performed on a further 20 components. Group wide 
control procedures were performed on a further 152 components. The remaining 26 components which are not included in our group 
scope have been subject to risk based analytic procedures.

In establishing the overall approach to the audit, we determined the type of work that is needed to be done by us, as group auditors, or 
by component auditors from Ernst & Young Global member firms and operating under our instructions. The group audit team audited the 
group consolidation, financial statements and disclosures and the audit procedures related to the key audit matter ‘The valuation of deferred 
taxes’. Because of the (international) travel restrictions and social distancing due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we needed to restrict or have 
been  unable  to  visit  management  and/or  component  auditors.  Due  to  these  restrictions  we  intensified  communication  with  significant 

273

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTcomponent  teams  using  communication  technology  to  ensure  we  obtained  sufficient  audit  evidence  to  conclude  on  our  audit,  also  in 
relation to our key audit matter. For all entities in scope, we shared detailed instructions to the component auditors and we reviewed their 
deliverables.  

In total these procedures covered approximately 100% of the group’s revenues and 100% of total assets.

By  performing  the  procedures  mentioned  above  at  components  of  the  group,  together  with  additional  procedures  at  group  level,  we 
have been able to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence about the group’s financial information to provide an opinion about the 
consolidated financial statements. 

Teaming and use of specialists
We ensured that the audit teams both at group and at component levels included the appropriate skills and competences which are needed 
for the audit of a listed client in the automotive industry. We included specialists in the areas of IT audit, valuation, pensions and income tax.

Our focus on climate risks and the energy transition
Climate objectives will be high on the public agenda in the next decades. Issues such as CO2 reduction impact financial reporting, as these 
issues entail risks for the business operation, the valuation of assets (‘stranded assets’) and provisions or the sustainability of the business 
model and access to financial markets of companies with a larger CO2 footprint. 

As part of our audit of the financial statements, we evaluated the extent to which climate-related risks and the possible effects of the energy 
transition are taken into account in estimates and significant assumptions as well as in the design of relevant internal control measures by 
CNH Industrial N.V. 

As disclosed in the consolidated financial statements under the significant accounting policies and climate related matters, all significant 
assumptions and estimates underlying the preparation of the following items were subject to an analysis in order to identify and address 
the new uncertainties related to climate changes which could affect the business: going concern, inventory management, property, plant 
and  equipment,  goodwill,  brands,  intangible  assets  with  a  finite  life,  tax  reliefs,  revenue  recognition,  provisions  and  onerous  contracts. 
Furthermore, we read the management board report and considered whether there is any material inconsistency between the non-financial 
disclosure and the financial statements.

Our audit procedures to address the assessed climate-related risks and the possible effects of the energy transition did not result in a key 
audit matter. 

Our focus on fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations
Our responsibility
Although we are not responsible for preventing fraud or non-compliance and we cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws 
and regulations, it is our responsibility to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements, taken as a whole, are free from material 
misstatement, whether caused by fraud or error.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTOur audit response related to fraud risks
We  identify  and  assess  the  risks  of  material  misstatements  of  the  financial  statements  due  to  fraud.  During  our  audit  we  obtained  an 
understanding of the CNH Industrial N.V. and its environment and the components of the system of internal control, including the risk 
assessment process and management’s process for responding to the risks of fraud and monitoring the system of internal control and how 
audit committee exercises oversight, as well as the outcomes. 

We refer to the paragraph Risk Management and Control System of the board report for management’s fraud risk assessment.

We evaluated the design and relevant aspects of the system of internal control and in particular the fraud risk assessment, as well as the code 
of conduct, whistle blower procedures and incident registration. We evaluated the design and the implementation and, where considered 
appropriate, tested the operating effectiveness, of internal controls designed to mitigate fraud risks. 

As part of our process of identifying fraud risks, we evaluated fraud risk factors with respect to financial reporting fraud, misappropriation 
of assets and bribery and corruption. We evaluated whether these factors indicate that a risk of material misstatement due fraud is present.

We incorporated elements of unpredictability in our audit. We also considered the outcome of our other audit procedures and evaluated 
whether any findings were indicative of fraud or non-compliance.

As in all of our audits, we addressed the risks related to management override of controls and when identifying and assessing fraud risks we 
presumed that there are risks of fraud in revenue recognition. 

We identified the following fraud risks and performed the following specific procedures:

PRESUMED RISKS OF FRAUD IN REVENUE RECOGNITION: 

Fraud risk

When identifying and assessing fraud risks we presume that there are risks of fraud in revenue recognition. We evaluated the re-
venues streams coming from the various segments: Agriculture, Construction, Commercial and Specialty Vehicles, Powertrains and 
Financial Services. Our risk is mainly focusing on revenues which are inappropriately recognized in the improper period as a result of 
manual journal entries recorded in corporate and/or consolidating entities at or near period end.  
These revenues streams are disclosed in Note 1 to the financial statements. 

Our audit approach

We designed and performed the following audit procedures to be responsive to this fraud risk: 
  We perform risk assessment procedures as part of our audit planning and include the corporate and/or consolidating entities in 

our audit scope.

  We make inquiries of management.
  We perform analytical review and perform tests of detail as to revenue recorded in corporate and/or consolidating entities at or 

near period end.

  We perform tests of journal entries recorded in the corporate and/or consolidating entities and ensure appropriate business ra-

tionale, and proper authorization and documentation of approval.
Finally, we reviewed the adequacy of the disclosures made in Note 1.

We  considered  available  information  and  made  enquiries  of  relevant  executives,  directors  (including  tax,  treasury,  internal  audit,  legal, 
compliance, human resources and segment/regional management and finance leaders) and the audit committee.

Our audit response related to risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations
We assessed factors related to the risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations that could reasonably be expected to have a material 
effect on the financial statements from our general industry experience, through discussions with the board of directors, reading minutes, 
inspection of internal audit and compliance reports and performing substantive tests of details of classes of transactions, account balances 
or disclosures and reference is made to Notes 23 Other provisions and 27 Commitments and contingencies to the financial statements.

We also inspected lawyers’ letters and correspondence with regulatory authorities and remained alert to any indication of (suspected) non-
compliance throughout the audit. Finally, we obtained written representations from management that all known instances of non-compliance 
with laws and regulations have been disclosed to us. 

The  fraud  risk  we  identified,  enquires  and  other  available  information  did  not  lead  to  specific  indications  for  fraud  or  suspected  fraud 
potentially materially impacting the view of the financial statements.

275

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTOur audit response related to going concern
We  performed  the  following  procedures  in  order  to  identify  and  assess  the  risks  relating  to  going  concern  and  to  conclude  on  the 
appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting. The board of directors made a specific assessment of the 
company’s ability to continue as a going concern and to continue its operations for at least the next 12 months. We discussed and evaluated 
this assessment with management exercising professional judgment and maintaining professional skepticism, and specifically focusing on the 
process followed by management to make the assessment, management bias that could represent a risk, the impact of current events and 
conditions have on the company’s operations and forecasted cash flows, with a focus on whether the company will have sufficient liquidity to 
continue to meet its obligations as they fall due. We consider, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that 
a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements 
or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. 

Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions 
may cause a company to cease to continue as a going concern. For the company’s disclosure we refer to the significant accounting policies 
combined with the climate related matters. 

Based on our procedures performed, we did not identify serious doubts on the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern for the next 
12 months.

Our key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements. We 
have communicated the key audit matter to audit committee. The key audit matter is not a comprehensive reflection of all matters discussed. 

The key audit matter ‘The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic’ which was included in our last year’s auditor’s report, is not considered a key 
audit matter for this year as the impact on the valuation of goodwill, valuation of tangible and intangible fixed assets, and the provision for 
buy backs as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic was assessed and recorded in the 2020 financial statements and the exposures for 2021 are 
limited. The key audit matter for valuation of deferred taxes is maintained although the focus of the valuation of deferred taxes is changed 
from the activities in Italy in prior years to the activities in Brazil in the current year. 

VALUATION OF DEFERRED TAXES

NOTE 9

Risk

As more fully described in Note 9, the Company had deferred tax assets recognized of $367 million (including those relating to Brazil 
that were recognized in the year) as of December 31, 2021. Deferred tax assets are only recognized and to the extent that it is pro-
bable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilised.
In preparation for the separation of the Iveco Group business segments from CNH Industrial N.V., the Company reorganized its 
Industrial Activities in Brazil. Historically, the Company had not recorded deferred tax assets in the Industrial Activities in Brazil. These 
reorganization actions required the Company to assess whether its deferred tax assets in that jurisdiction will be recovered. Auditing 
management’s analysis of the recoverability of its deferred tax assets and related in the Industrial business in Brazil was key to our 
audit because the amounts are material to the financial statements and the assessment process in that jurisdiction is complex. This as-
sessment involves significant judgment, including the weighting of all available evidence, and includes assumptions that may be affected 
by the nature and timing of the Company’s reorganization of its operations in Brazil, the impact of local tax legislation, and projections 
of future taxable income of the reorganized businesses in Brazil.
The Group’s disclosures related to income taxes are included in Note 9 to the consolidated financial statements.

Our audit approach

We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of internal controls that address the risks 
of material misstatement relating to the recoverability of deferred tax assets. This included controls over management’s projections 
of future taxable income, the future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, and management’s identification and use of 
available tax planning strategies. 

To test the recoverability and valuation of the deferred tax assets, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the 
methodologies used, the significant assumptions discussed above, and the underlying data used by the Company in its analysis. For 
example, as part of our evaluation of management’s significant assumptions, we utilized our tax specialists and considered the re-
levant tax laws and regulations in Brazil, including considering whether the estimated future sources of taxable income were of the 
appropriate character to utilize the deferred tax assets in the relevant time period. We also evaluated cumulative income or loss 
positions in that jurisdiction and evaluated the Company’s projections of future taxable income, including comparing the forecasts to 
business plans and performing sensitivity analyses to assess the reasonableness of those forecasts.

We have assessed the adequacy of the financial statements disclosure in Note 9 regarding recognized deferred tax assets.

Key observations 

We did not identify any evidence of material misstatement of deferred tax assets as recorded in the statement of financial position or 
in the disclosures thereof.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORTDESCRIPTION OF RESPONSIBILITIES REGARDING THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Responsibilities of management and the audit committee for the financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with EU-IFRS and Part 9 of 
Book 2 of the Dutch Civil Code. Furthermore, management is responsible for such internal control as management determines is necessary 
to enable the preparation of the financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

As part of the preparation of the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the company’s ability to continue as a going 
concern.  Based  on  the  financial  reporting  framework  mentioned,  management  should  prepare  the  financial  statements  using  the  going 
concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative 
but to do so. Management should disclose events and circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the company’s ability to continue as 
a going concern in the financial statements. 

The audit committee is responsible for overseeing the company’s financial reporting process.

OUR RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Our objective is to plan and perform the audit engagement in a manner that allows us to obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence 
for our opinion.

Our audit has been performed with a high, but not absolute, level of assurance, which means we may not detect all material errors and 
fraud during our audit.

Misstatements  can  arise  from  fraud  or  error  and  are  considered  material  if,  individually  or  in  the  aggregate,  they  could  reasonably  be 
expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements. The materiality affects the nature, 
timing and extent of our audit procedures and the evaluation of the effect of identified misstatements on our opinion.

We have exercised professional judgment and have maintained professional skepticism throughout the audit, in accordance with Dutch 
Standards on Auditing, ethical requirements and independence requirements. The ‘Information in support of our opinion’ section above 
includes an informative summary of our responsibilities and the work performed as the basis for our opinion.

Our audit further included among others:

  Performing audit procedures responsive to the risks identified, and obtaining audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide 

a basis for our opinion

  Obtaining an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the 

circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the CNH Industrial N.V.’s internal control

  Evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made 

by management

  Evaluating the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures

  Evaluating whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

Communication
We communicate with the audit committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit 
findings, including any significant findings in internal control that we identify during our audit. In this respect we also submit an additional 
report to the audit committee in accordance with Article 11 of the EU Regulation on specific requirements regarding statutory audit of 
public-interest entities. The information included in this additional report is consistent with our audit opinion in this auditor’s report.

We provide the audit committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and 
to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where 
applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with the audit committee, we determine the key audit matters: those matters that were of most significance 
in the audit of the financial statements. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure 
about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, not communicating the matter is in the public interest.
