Business PART I CNH Industrial N.V. qualifies as a Foreign Private Issuer, as determined by Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") and is exempt from filing annual reports on Form 10-K by virtue of Rules 13a-13 and 15d-13 under the Exchange Act. CNH Industrial N.V. has voluntarily elected to file this annual financial report using Form 10-K ("Annual Report"). As a Foreign Private Issuer, CNH Industrial N.V. is also exempt from the proxy solicitation rules under Section 14 of the Exchange Act and Regulation FD, and its officers, directors, and principal shareholders are not subject to the reporting and short-swing profit recovery provisions contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Act. However, beginning in 2024, CNH intends to voluntarily elect to publish a notice of meeting and proxy statement for its Annual General Meeting prepared in accordance with applicable Dutch requirements and voluntarily including the disclosure required by pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act on Schedule 14A. History and Development of the Company CNH Industrial N.V. is the company initially formed by the business combination transaction, completed on September 29, 2013, between Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and its subsidiary CNH Global N.V. CNH Industrial N.V. was incorporated on November 23, 2012, as a public limited liability company (naamloze vennootschap) under the laws of the Netherlands. The Company's principal office is located at Cranes Farm Road, Basildon, Essex, SS14 3AD, United Kingdom (telephone number: +44-207-9251-964). Unless otherwise indicated or the context otherwise requires, as used in this Annual Report, the term "CNH", "we", "us", "our" or "the Company" refer to CNH Industrial N.V. together with its consolidated subsidiaries. CNH's agent for U.S. federal securities law purposes is Emily Sturges, c/o CNH Industrial America LLC, 711 Jorie Boulevard, Oak Brook, Illinois 60523 (telephone number +1-331-256-0594). Certain financial information in this Annual Report has been presented by geographic region. Our geographic regions are: (1) North America; (2) Europe, Middle East and Africa; (3) South America and (4) Asia Pacific. The geographic designations have the following meanings: • • • • North America: United States, Canada and Mexico; Europe, Middle East and Africa: member countries of the European Union, European Free Trade Association, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Balkans, Russia, Turkey, Uzbekistan, Pakistan, the African continent and the Middle East; South America: Central and South America, and the Caribbean Islands; and Asia Pacific: Continental Asia (including the India subcontinent), Indonesia, and Oceania. Certain industry information in this Annual Report has been presented on a worldwide basis which includes all countries. In this Annual Report, management estimates of industry information are generally based on retail unit sales data in North America, on registrations of equipment in most of Europe, Brazil, and various other 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 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. Iveco Group N.V. Demerger Until December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial N.V. owned and controlled the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business” or the “On-Highway Business”), as well as the Agriculture business, the Construction business, and the related Financial Services business (collectively, the “Off-Highway Business”). Effective January 1, 2022, the Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. by way of a demerger under Dutch law (the "Demerger") to Iveco Group N.V. (the "Iveco Group"), and the Iveco Group became a public listed company independent from CNH with its common shares trading on the Euronext Milan, a regulated market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. In connection with the Demerger, shares of Iveco Group N.V. were distributed to shareholders in CNH Industrial N.V. on a pro rata basis. The On-Highway Business' financial results for 2021 have been reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Operations and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, retrospectively, as discontinued operations. Pursuant to the terms of the deeds of demerger entered into between CNH Industrial N.V. and Iveco Group N.V. on January 1, 2022, assets related to the On-Highway Business were transferred to, and liabilities related to the On-Highway Business were retained or assumed by, Iveco Group N.V. 4 Business Overview General CNH is a leading equipment and services company engaged in the design, production, marketing, sale, and financing of agricultural and construction equipment.

Consolidated Results - 2023 Compared to 2022 Net sales for the fiscal year 2023 were $24,687 million, up 5% from 2022 mainly due to favorable price realization within the Agriculture and Construction segments. 2023 consolidated net income was $2,383 million, with diluted earnings per share of $1.76 (net income of $2,039 million in 2022, with diluted earnings per share of $1.49). Gross profit margin of Industrial Activities was 23.7%, (22.0% in 2022) with increases in both Agriculture and Construction. 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, combine harvesters, 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, farmland 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, crop yields, farm operating expenses (including fuel and fertilizer costs), fluctuations in currency exchange rates, government subsidies, tax incentives and trade policies. The availability, quality, and cost of used equipment for sale affects the level of new equipment sales. Weather conditions are a major determinant of crop yields and crop prices and therefore affect equipment-buying decisions. Global organization initiatives, such as those of the World Trade Organization, also can affect the market acceptance of genetically modified organisms such as seed, feed and animals and can promote climate change and sustainability initiatives that may have an impact on agriculture. Demand for agricultural equipment also varies seasonally by region and product, primarily due to differing climates and farming calendars. Peak retail deliveries for tractors and planting, seeding, and application equipment typically occur 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 before the peak retail selling season, which generally extends from March through June. In the Southern hemisphere, dealers 5 generally order between August and October so they can receive inventory before 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, 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. As production and wholesale shipments adjust throughout the year to take into account the factors described above, sales of agricultural equipment in any given period may not reflect the timing of dealer orders and retail demand for that period. However, the Company strives to match production scheduling to retail demand, driving lean manufacturing and enabling the shortest lead time to the final customer. Customer preferences regarding farming practices, and thus product types and features, vary by region. In North America, Australia, Brazil, Argentina 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 simpler and easy to use machines with relatively lower acquisition and operating costs. In many developing countries, tractors are the primary 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. One agricultural trend in North America, Western European, and Brazil includes 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 technology and solutions (including the development of autonomously operated equipment) to enhance productivity, profitability and environmental impact are becoming more important in the buyers’ purchasing decision. In South America (other than Brazil), India and in other emerging markets, the number of farms is growing, and mechanization is replacing manual labor. In other markets, 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 comprehensive subsidies in these agricultural/farm markets reduces the effects of cyclicality in the agricultural equipment business. The existence and extent of subsidies 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 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 had over the years a significant influence on sales. 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 and biomethane. 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 has been an ongoing focus for CNH. During the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference, COP28 event in the United Arab Emirates, there was an assessment of progress towards climate action and a call to accelerate carbon reduction with an establishment of a Loss and Damage Fund, which aims to provide financial assistance to nations most vulnerable and impacted by the effects of climate change. With the use of a bio-digester, animal and food waste can be processed to produce bio-methane. CNH has developed two New Holland brand key livestock models of methane-powered tractors (T6 and T7) that could also run on methane produced on the farm from animal and food waste. CNH has a controlling stake in Bennamann Ltd ("Bennamann"), a U.K.-based technology company, that has developed a solution to capture fugitive emissions of methane from livestock farm waste and repurpose it into a better-than-zero-carbon biofuel. The Company believes that this solution is suitable for small to medium size farms — enabling a farm to become energy independent, less polluting, net-zero carbon, sustainable and regenerative. 6 This approach also improves the sustainability of farmland management practices by minimizing artificial inputs (e.g., manufactured fertilizer), lowering operational costs and reducing pollutants. This concept is intended to contribute to a dairy farm's decarbonization. The developments in precision technology and solutions are designed to allow farmers to increase yield with reduced input costs in the areas of labor, fertilizer, chemicals and water. Further, with shorter planting and harvesting cycles experienced in recent years, we believe that precision agriculture technology will help drive replacement demand for new farm equipment as this technology is designed to improve farm efficiency. Construction 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 such as machine control, automation 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 hourly 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 relative 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. 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. 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 and government spending. 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, 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 contracts, 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 7 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. Competition The Agriculture and Construction equipment industries 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, including software, a strong presence, distribution and customer service network and a captive financing arm. 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, which leads to increases in product costs. We continually seek to improve in each of these areas but focus primarily on providing high-quality and high-value products with environment protection features, and on supporting those products through our dealer networks. Customers’ perceptions of product value in terms of productivity, reliability, digital content, resale value and dealer support are formed over many years. Buyers tend to favor brands based on experience with the product, the dealer, and the service network. The efficiency of our manufacturing, logistics 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 product performance, customer service, quality, precision technology and other innovations and price. The environment is by nature competitive from a pricing standpoint, but we have been able to counter inflationary cost increases with positive price realization. There is no guarantee that we can maintain positive price realization in the future. The ability of our supply chain and manufacturing system to timely deliver finished goods is also critical to meeting customer expectations. Failure to do so might imply losses of competitiveness. Our main competitors in the agricultural equipment market are Deere & Company, AGCO Corporation, Claas Group, Kubota Tractor Corporation, Argo Tractors S.p.A., and the Same Deutz Fahr Group. Our principal competitors in the construction equipment market are Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu Ltd., J C Bamford Excavators Ltd., Hitachi Construction Machinery Co, Ltd., Volvo Group, Liebherr Group, Develon, Bobcat, Kubota Tractor Corporation, SANY Heavy Industry Co., Ltd and Deere & Company. 8 Products and Markets Agriculture To capitalize on customer loyalty to its dealers and its brands, Agriculture’s product lines are sold primarily under the Case IH and New Holland Agriculture brands as well as the STEYR and Kongskilde brands in Europe and the Miller and Flexi-Coil brands, primarily in North America and Australia. Raven primarily operates in North America, Australia, South America and Europe. Certain agricultural equipment products are also sold under the K-Line brand. We believe that these brands enjoy high levels of brand identification and loyalty among both customers and dealers. Although newer generation tractors have a high percentage of common mechanical components, each brand and product remains differentiated by features, color, interior and exterior styling, warranty terms, technology offering, and model designation. Flagship products such as row crop tractors and large combine harvesters may have significantly greater differentiation. Distinctive features that are specific to a particular brand such as the Supersteer® tractor axle or Twin Rotor combine threshing technology for New Holland, the Case IH tracked four-wheel drive tractor, Quadtrac®, and the front axle mounted hitch for STEYR tractors are examples of certain distinctive features that remain an important part of each brand’s unique identity. Agriculture’s product lines include tractors, combine harvesters, hay and forage equipment, seeding and planting equipment, and self- propelled sprayers. Our agricultural equipment is sold with a limited warranty that typically runs from one to three years. CNH is committed to advancing technology in agriculture and is investing in integrated solutions and precision technologies across the equipment portfolio. Our technology stack spans digital web and mobile platforms, core technologies such as global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning, connectivity and displays, automation covering product control and guidance, and capabilities like autonomy. In the digital space, Case IH and New Holland Agriculture brands enable customers to visualize and share in-depth real-time machine and farm operation data within the respective AFS-PLM Farm solution and offer data sharing to a third-party providers at full control of the customer. Our digital capabilities were bolstered in 2019 by our acquisition of AgDNA, an industry-leading Farm Management Information System (FMIS) that automatically collects and analyzes data from equipment manufactured by CNH and third-party manufacturers. Our AFS-PLM digital platforms connect farmers to their equipment, dealers, input providers, partners, and advisors. By analyzing machine, agronomic, and environmental data, these platforms deliver insights, empowering customers to optimize their operational performance and enhance farm profitability. CNH’s core technologies, inclusive of GNSS positioning, connectivity, and displays, were augmented by the acquisition of Raven Industries, Inc., (“Raven”) in 2021 and Hemisphere GNSS (“Hemisphere”) in 2023. With Raven as part of the agriculture product portfolio, we now design, manufacture, sell, and service a suite of core technology products both as factory-installed and in the aftermarket. The acquisition of Hemisphere, a company that specializes in high-performance satellite positioning technologies, gives us in-house control of our precision and navigation technologies. Hemisphere’s proprietary GNSS solutions provide pinpoint accuracy for agriculture and construction industries and will drive precise and improved job execution for our customers. Our automation and autonomous capabilities are propelled by guidance technology and product controls. The Raven integration has strengthened our portfolio with a wide range of innovative guidance offerings and has helped to accelerate the development of advanced machine automation and autonomous agriculture technology. In 2023, we acquired Augmenta Holding SAS ("Augmenta"), a machine vision company that automates and optimizes farming operations. Augmenta has built a real-time, multi-spectral sensor that can perceive canopy health, objects, and patterns. Their technology utilizes edge computing, computer vision, and machine learning and translates images into agronomic insights. Augmenta’s solution is designed to ease the burden on farmers and growers so that they can simply and efficiently achieve their goals. CNH supports our customers throughout the entire equipment lifecycle. We offer a suite of aftermarket solutions spanning guidance, automated steering systems, application control products, and correction services to ensure customers have technology options wherever they are in their precision tech adoption journey. Construction Construction’s product lines are sold primarily under the CASE Construction Equipment and New Holland Construction brands. CASE provides a wide range of products on a global scale, including crawler excavators and mini-excavators. The New Holland Construction brand family also markets a full product line of construction equipment in South America and focuses on light equipment distributed by the Agriculture network in the other regions. In 2021, we completed the acquisition of Sampierana S.p.A., which provides Construction direct control over technology and manufacturing of Mini and Midi Excavators. In 2023, we developed and launched our first range of mini track loaders under our Eurocomach brand. 9 Construction's products often share common components to achieve economies of scale in manufacturing, purchasing, and development. Construction differentiates these products based on the relative product value, technology, design concept, productivity, product serviceability, color, and styling to preserve the unique identity of each brand. Heavy construction equipment product lines include general construction equipment such as large excavators and wheel loaders, and road building and site preparation equipment such as compactors, graders and dozers. Light construction equipment is also known as compact and service equipment, and its product lines include backhoe loaders, skid steer and tracked loaders, mini- and midi- excavators, and compact wheel loaders. The brands each offer parts and support services for all of their product lines. Our construction equipment is generally sold with a limited warranty that typically runs from one to two years. Beginning in 2023, we have produced and distributed battery-powered compact construction equipment, including electric mini excavators and small articulated loaders. We plan to continue to deliver battery-powered compact construction equipment solutions to help our customers reduce tailpipe emissions. We continue to evaluate our Construction business with a view toward increasing efficiencies and profitability as well as evaluating its strategic alliances to improve its position in key markets. Sales and Distribution Agriculture sells and distributes products through dealers that sell either Case IH products, New Holland products or both brands. Overall in Agriculture, the CNH dealer network includes more than 2,600 dealer owners and more than 6,200 locations/points of sale. Construction sells and distributes products through approximately 406 full-line dealers and distributors with over 1,518 points of sale. Agriculture and Construction 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, 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. As the equipment rental business becomes a more significant factor in both the agricultural and construction equipment markets, Agriculture and Construction are 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. 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 as of December 31, 2023, we operate a network of owned dealers for Case IH and the Construction segment in South Africa. We promote a selective dealer development program, in territories with growth potential but underdeveloped representation by our agricultural and construction equipment brands, the program typically involves a transfer of ownership to a qualified operator through a buy-out or private investment after a few years. Precision technology is integrated with our Agriculture equipment as well as offered as aftermarket parts for retrofit solutions through our dealer network. The Raven brand is distributed through the CNH dealer network in all the regions and through dealer/distributor networks, some of which are affiliated with strategic and industry partners. Raven products and services are also sold to other companies. In recent years, CNH has increased its investments in its technical stack and reduced reliance on third-party suppliers. Pricing and Promotion The retail price of any piece of equipment is determined by the individual dealer or distributor and generally depends on market conditions, features, options and, potentially, regulatory requirements. Retail transaction 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 products and parts 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 when a product is sold by a dealer to a final customer. We regularly advertise our products to the community of farmers, builders, 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, social media 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. 10 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 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 equipment’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. To further support the productive life of the equipment, connected technology within our machines have allowed us with our cloud-based control rooms and our dealer service shops to obtain results through analytics blended with the professional knowledge of our products experts. We are increasing the number of connected units supported proactively by control rooms that leverage service alarms, operators’ insights, predictive repairs and maintenance that enrich a suite of machine and farm data. As of December 31, 2023 we operated and administered 30 parts depots worldwide which support both Agriculture and Construction, either directly, through a joint venture, or through arrangements with warehouse service providers. This network includes 8 parts depots in North America, 10 in EMEA, 3 in South America, and 9 in other regions. 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 timely access to substantially all the parts required to support our products. Research and Development, Patents and Licenses, etc. Our research, development and engineering personnel design, engineer, manufacture and test new products, components, and systems. In a continuously and rapidly changing competitive environment, our research and development activities are a vital component in our strategic development. Our research and development activities are designed to accelerate time-to-market while taking advantage of specialization and experience in different markets. We own a significant number of patents, trade secrets, licenses and trademarks related to our products and services, and that number is expected to grow as our R&D activities continue. We file patent applications in Europe, the U.S. and in other jurisdictions around the world to protect technology and improvements considered important to the business. Certain trademarks contribute to our identity and the recognition of our products and services and are an integral part of our business, and their loss could have a material adverse effect on us. 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, 2023, they included the following: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ in Japan, we own 50% of New Holland HFT Japan Inc. (“HFT”), which distributes our 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 TürkTraktör ve Ziraat Makineleri A.S., which manufactures and distributes various models of both New Holland and Case IH tractors; in Mexico, we own 50% 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. Suppliers We purchase materials, parts, components and services from third party suppliers. We view our relationships with suppliers as critical to our operational effectiveness, and in recent years, we have established closer ties with a significantly reduced number of suppliers, selecting those that enjoy a leading position in the relevant markets. Certain components and parts used in our products are available from a single supplier and cannot be sourced quickly otherwise. The sudden or unexpected interruption in the availability of certain of our suppliers’ raw materials, parts, and components could result in delays in, or increases in the costs of production. CNH has embarked on a multi-year supply chain transformation under a strategic sourcing program. The strategic sourcing program is designed to leverage CNH's long-term relationships with its current suppliers and the establishment of long-term relationships with new suppliers to reduce costs and improve overall performance of the supply chain. 11 Financial Services Financial Services offers a range of financial products and services to dealers and customers in the various regions in which it operates. Retail financing products primarily include retail notes, finance leases and operating leases to end use customers and revolving charge account financing to purchase parts, service, rentals, implements and attachments from CNH dealers. Wholesale financing consists primarily of dealer floorplan financing as well as the management and purchase of trade receivables from CNH subsidiaries. Dealer floorplan financing gives dealers the ability to maintain a representative inventory of products. In addition, Financial Services provides financing to dealers for used equipment and machines 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, their dealers, and customers. Financial Services supports the growth of Industrial Activities by developing and structuring financial products with the objective of supporting equipment and parts sales as well as customer loyalty. Financial Services’ strategy is to grow a core financing business to support the sale of our equipment and parts 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 machines sold through our dealer network or within our core businesses. Financed third party equipment include used equipment taken in trade by our dealers or equipment used in conjunction with or attached to our products. In North America, retail customer and dealer financing activities, which support the sales of Agriculture and Construction, are managed through our wholly-owned financial services subsidiaries. In Europe, Middle East and Africa, CNH Industrial Capital Europe S.a.S., which is 24.95% owned by CNH Industrial N.V. and accounted for under the equity method, provides retail financing to customers of Agriculture and Construction. Additionally, there are vendor programs with banking partners that provide customer financing to our industrial segments in certain countries. In Europe, companies of Iveco Group’s Financial Services segment manage and service CNH dealer financing receivables that are funded through a dedicated securitization. CNH Industrial Capital Solutions S.p.A. retains the securitization program's junior notes, and therefore retains substantially all the risks and the benefits of the underlying wholesale receivables. For South America, retail customer and dealer financing activities are managed through our wholly-owned financial services subsidiary which supports the sales of Agriculture and Construction. For retail customer financing in Brazil, Banco CNH Industrial Capital S.A. also 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, vendor programs with banking partners are also utilized. CNH Financial Services serves as a lender for Iveco Group dealers and end customers. In Asia Pacific, CNH Financial Services supports the sales of Agriculture and Construction by providing retail customer and dealer financing activities in Australia, New Zealand and India, managed through wholly-owned financial services companies. In China, Agriculture dealer financing activities are provided by and managed through a wholly-owned financial services company. CNH Financial Services serves as a lender for Iveco Group and services the sale of Iveco Group in Australia and New Zealand. Customer Financing Financial Services has certain retail underwriting and portfolio management policies and procedures that are specific to Agriculture or Construction. 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 retail sales typically provide for retention of a security interest in the equipment financed. Financial Services’ guidelines for minimum down payments for equipment 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 dealer floorplan financing, and to a lesser extent, the financing of dealer operations. Under the standard terms of the wholesale receivable agreements, these receivables typically have a fixed period of “interest-free” financing to dealers. During 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 12 own exposure to any one dealer. All risk is underwritten and supported by Financial Services. The credit lines are secured by the equipment financed. Dealer credit agreements generally include a requirement to repay individual receivables at the time of the retail sale of the related unit. Financial Services leverages employees, third-party contractors, and digital technologies like “geo-fencing” to conduct periodic stock audits at individual dealerships to confirm that the financed equipment 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 subsidiaries, originating from the 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 note 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, Canada, Brazil, Argentina and Australia and commercial paper markets in the United States 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. Human Capital All CNH employees contribute to company performance at different levels and are key to the achievement of business targets and results. The conviction that people are the company’s greatest asset is the baseline principle of the Human Capital Management Guidelines which aim to increase organizational effectiveness. The Company has identified 5 key cultural behaviors which have been cascaded to the entire organization through recent trainings: Customer First, One Team, Grow Together, Make it Simple, Be the Best. Specific tools have been developed to implement the cultural behaviors which include focused recognitions, story telling and focused feedback. We strongly believe that sharing a common culture will help to retain and attract talent and ultimately allow the Company to be more competitive. Employees The ability to attract, retain, and further develop qualified employees is crucial to the success of CNH’s businesses and its ability to create value over the long term. CNH’s business is, by its nature, labor intensive and this is reflected in the high number of hourly employees. As of December 31, 2023, CNH had 40,220 employees including 11,891 employees in the U.S. and Canada. CNH also retains consultants, independent contractors, and temporary and part-time workers. Approximately 700 hourly production employees in the United States were covered by a collective bargaining agreement with the United Automobile, Aerospace, and Agricultural Implement Workers of America with an expiration date of May 2, 2026. Additionally, approximately 800 U.S. production employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement with International Association of Machinists with an expiration date of April 28, 2024. In Canada, a small number of employees are covered by a collective bargaining agreement between with the United Steelworkers Local Union No. 5917, that expires on April 15, 2026. In Europe, most employees are covered by collective labor agreements (“CLAs”) stipulated either by a CNH subsidiary or by the employer association for the specific industry to which the CNH subsidiary belongs. Outside North America and Europe, CNH enters into employment contracts and agreements in those countries in which such relationships are mandatory or customary. 13 In 2024, our collective bargaining agreements with the International Association of Machinists in the United States will expire, which will require negotiation of new agreements. Refer to Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors for a discussion of the risks associated with our employment relationships. Diversity and Inclusion CNH’s Board of Directors is committed to diversity and inclusion (“D&I”) and adopted a Policy on Diversity and Inclusion in 2023. This policy applies to all CNH employees globally and provides that CNH 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. CNH’s Global Leadership Team ("GLT") is committed to creating a 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’s Human Capital Management Guidelines and Human Rights Policy, available on the Company’s website and Intranet portal. Further, the Global Leadership demonstrated its commitment to diversity and inclusion by preparing and adopting a statement, which confirms the Company's commitment to rejecting any form of discrimination and creating an environment where everyone benefits from equal opportunities based on their abilities and skills. Code of Conduct CNH’s Code of Conduct is one of the pillars of the CNH corporate governance system, which regulates the decision-making processes and the approach used by the Company and its employees in interacting with all stakeholders. The Code of Conduct summarizes the values the Company recognizes, adheres to, and fosters, in the belief that integrity and fairness are important drivers of long-term value creation and social and economic development. Employee Health and Safety CNH’s approach to occupational health and safety is based on preventive and protective measures, implemented both collectively and individually, aimed at minimizing the risk of injury in the workplace. The Company endeavors to ensure optimal working conditions, applying principles of industrial hygiene and ergonomics to processes. Its safety management system includes the involvement of employees in identifying and reporting work related hazards and potentially unsafe situations. This approach is intended to promote common, ethical occupational health and safety principles, and enables the achievement of improvement targets using various tools, including training and awareness campaigns. Key areas of focus are pursuit of a zero-accident and zero-injury rate, extension of ISO 45001 certification, and implementation of initiatives to increase employee health and safety awareness via multiple tools (e.g., training courses, corporate Intranet, video tutorials). Employee Compensation and Benefits The Company is committed to providing a base pay that, in compliance with local regulations, is competitive with the local market, affordable from a business perspective, and in line with the Company’s achieve and earn philosophy. CNH has defined a compensation approach that comprises several different components. This comprehensive package rewards employees for their contribution to the Company’s results and allows them to share in the business success they help to create. Base salary, benefits, and short and long-term incentives are determined by market-driven benchmarks. Variable compensation is influenced by individual employee contribution, which is evaluated through a performance evaluation program that is deployed throughout the entire organization. The same metrics and methodology are applied in the annual performance assessment of all eligible employees worldwide. Additionally, the Company employs a formal process to monitor the application of its core equity and fairness principles to compensation levels, annual salary reviews, and promotions. Employee Welfare and Well-being Employee welfare and well-being initiatives are an important part of the Company’s employee engagement. CNH offers well-being initiatives in addition to traditional benefits (such as health care), going beyond its legal obligations in the countries where it operates. The aim is to help employees balance their personal commitments through time and money saving initiatives and flexible working arrangements, while cultivating motivation, pride, and a sense of belonging at work through family activities, engagement with the community, and involvement in Company life. 14 Training and Development CNH believes that employee training is key to skill management and development. Training allows sharing operational and business know-how, as well as the Company’s strategy and values. The Company manages training through a 4-step process: training needs identification, content development, program delivery, and reporting. Ownership of each lies with different corporate functions, depending on which areas of content or expertise need to be improved. The Training Management Model is business-oriented and therefore closely involves business functions on content areas such as: • • • business and job-specific skills new business methodologies shared tools, languages, soft skills, legal aspects and compliance, ethics, etc. CNH manages the overall training process through an Internet-based global learning management system. The Company builds upon segment-specific training programs, believing that the most effective solutions are specifically tailored to individual needs. Employees are given the opportunity to indicate development and training needs as part of a Performance Management Process, and to propose actions to support their personal development during the year. Training effectiveness and efficiency are monitored and measured based on the participants’ satisfaction with the initiatives delivered and improvements in their knowledge/skills; in some cases, depending on the learning path, structured follow-ups are provided. Environmental and Other Regulatory Matters We engineer, manufacture and sell our products and offer our services around the world, subject to requirements applicable to our products that relate to equipment emissions, product safety and fuel efficiency as well as those applicable to our manufacturing facilities that relate to stack emissions, treatment of waste, water and hazardous materials, prohibitions on soil contamination and worker health and safety. These extensive regional, national and local laws and regulations often impact the development of our products, including, but not limited to, required compliance with air emissions standards applicable to engines. We have made, and expect that we may additionally make, significant capital and research and development expenditures to comply with these standards now and in the future. We are conducting environmental investigatory or remedial activities at certain properties that are currently or were formerly, owned and/or operated by us, or which are being decommissioned. We believe that the outcome of these activities will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations while they will restore environmental conditions. Our operations and the activities of our employees, contractors and agents around the world are also subject to the laws and regulations of numerous countries, including the United States. These laws and regulations include data privacy requirements, labor relations laws, tax laws, antitrust regulations, prohibitions on payments to governmental officials and others, federal and state environmental regulations, import and trade restrictions and export requirements. Any violations of such law or regulation could also result in prohibitions on our ability to offer our products and services in one or more countries and could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. Our operations globally are also subject to risks of violations of laws prohibiting improper payments and bribery, 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. 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.

Risk Factors This Annual Report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements other than statements of historical fact included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements provide our current expectations and projections relating to our financial condition, results of operations, plans, objectives, future performance, and business. You can identify forward-looking statements as they do not relate to historical or current facts and by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “will,” “should,” “plan,” “forecast,” “target,” “guide,” “project,” “intend,” “could,” and similar words or expressions. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from those that we expected. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, and other important information about forward-looking statements are disclosed under Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A)–Cautionary Note on Forward- Looking Statements,” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The following risks should be considered in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including the risks and uncertainties described in the Forward-Looking Statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements beginning on page 82. The following is a cautionary discussion of risks, uncertainties and assumptions that we believe are material to our business. These risks may affect our operating 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 16 lines of business, while others could affect all of our businesses. Although risks are organized by headings, and each risk is discussed separately, many are interrelated. We undertake no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. You should, however, consult any subsequent disclosures we make from time to time in materials filed with the SEC. 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. The 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. These adverse economic events have and may continue to adversely affect the Company’s operations. 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; interest rates and the availability of credit to our dealers and customers; – where, to whom, and what type of products may be sold, including new or additional trade or economic sanctions imposed by the United States, European Union, the United Kingdom 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 or sanctions), including rare materials (they might be easily subjected to 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 and raw materials or embargoes, including developments in U.S.-China trade relations; and war, civil unrest and acts of terrorism. • • • • • • • 17 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, the continuing war in Ukraine, the Israel-Hamas war and heightened tensions in the Red Sea has given rise to regional instability which could impact our supply chain and operations. 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 a number of factors such as: • • • • • • • the general economic conditions and outlook, such as market volatility and rising interest rates; the price of agricultural commodities and the ability to competitively export agricultural commodities; the cost of farm inputs including the value of land, fertilizers, fuel, labor and other inputs 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. 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. 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 have implemented measures designed to slow inflationary pressure in their countries (e.g. higher interest rates, reduced financial assets purchases). 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 18 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. 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. Further, customer preferences in certain markets are changing as a result of ongoing social and regulatory focus on sustainability. 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 precision technology 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 precision technology 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 precision technology solutions and emerging power 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, equipment 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. If we are unable to deliver precision technology solutions to our customers, it could materially adversely affect our performance. Our precision technology solutions include both hardware and software components that relate to guidance, connectivity, automation and autonomy. We must be able to successfully acquire and develop and introduce new precision technology solutions that improve profitability and result in sustainable farming techniques in order to remain competitive. We expect to make significant investments in research and development expenses, collaborative arrangements and other sources of technology to drive these outcomes. Such investments may not produce attractive solutions for our customers. We also may have to depend on third parties to supply certain hardware or software components or data services in our precision technology products. Our dealers ability to support such solutions also may impact our customers, acceptance and demand of such products. Further, we utilize automation and machine learning and intelligence in some of our products. While the use of these emerging technologies can present significant benefits, it also creates risks and challenges. Data sourcing, technology, integration and process issues, program bias into decision-making algorithms, security problems, and the protection of privacy could impair the adoption and acceptance of autonomous machine solutions. If we are not able to deliver precision technology solutions with differentiated features and functionality, or these solutions are not effective, customers may not adopt technology solutions, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s reputation and business. 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 and cost reduction 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 precision technology solutions and alternative propulsion, as well as other initiatives aimed at improving our product portfolio, customer focus and manufacturing and business processes. There can be no assurance that we will benefit from these initiatives or others to the extent anticipated, or that the estimated efficiency or cash flow improvements will be realized to the extent anticipated or at all. If these initiatives are not successful, they could have an adverse effect on our operations. We have announced targeted restructuring actions 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 business initiatives and cost reduction actions could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations and cash flows. 19 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 and mergers and acquisitions or enter into, expand or exit from strategic alliances and joint ventures. These 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; inability to retain key employees; significant costs associated with terminating or modifying alliances; and problems in retaining customers and integrating operations, services, personnel, and customer bases. If issues were to arise with respect to an acquisition or the parties to one or more of our joint venture or 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, acts of war, 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. If such events occur, our financial results might be negatively impacted. Our existing insurance and risk management 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. Regulators in Europe and the U.S. have also focused efforts on requiring and promoting enhanced disclosure related to sustainability. We may face liabilities in connection with our efforts to comply with these disclosure requirements as well as expectations by our stakeholders of enhanced disclosures regarding our climate change initiatives. Changes in demand for food and alternative energy sources could impact our revenues. Changing worldwide demand for farm outputs to meet the world’s growing food and alternative energy demands, driven by a growing world population and government policies, including those related to climate change, 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. 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 20 certain countries. Trade restrictions, negotiation of new trade agreements, non-tariff trade barriers, local content requirements, and imposition of new or retaliatory tariffs against certain countries or covering certain products, including developments in U.S.-China trade relations, export control and sanctions against Russia, have limited, and could continue to limit, our ability to capitalize on current and future growth opportunities in international markets. These trade restrictions, and changes in, or uncertainty surrounding global trade policies, may affect our competitive position. 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 wholegoods can adversely affect our ability to meet customer demand. For example, recent attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea have lead shipping companies to avoid this region, which could result in increased logistics 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 and geopolitical 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 have resulted in and could continue to result in significant increases to 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, 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, export control and customs/import 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 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 securities laws in the U.S., dealer and supplier litigation, intellectual property rights disputes, product warranty and defective product claims, product performance, asbestos, personal injury, regulatory and contract issues, indirect tax 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. We are subject to regulation and oversight by securities regulatory authorities in the Netherlands and the United States. In the United States, we recently adopted on a voluntary basis the financial reporting standards 21 and practices applicable to U.S. domestic issuers, which include certain incremental filing and reporting requirements. These additional obligations may increase the cost for ensuring compliance with the applicable reporting requirements and may subject us to an enhanced risk of regulatory investigations and private litigation. 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 14: Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information. 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, including through the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning, 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. 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, our information technology networks and infrastructure have been and may be vulnerable to intrusion, attacks or disruptions or shutdowns due to attacks by cyber criminals, employee, supplier or dealer error or malfeasance or supply chain compromise. 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. 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. Our products increasingly include and depend on connectivity hardware and software 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. 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 22 to government approvals and/or the agreement of labor unions where such laws and agreements are applicable. Furthermore, the failure of the Company to successfully renegotiate labor agreements as they expire from time to time led, and could in the future lead, to work interruption or stoppage. Any strike, work stoppage, or other dispute with labor unions distracts management from operating the business, may affect the Company's reputation, 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. Our ability to execute our strategy depends upon our ability to attract, develop and retain qualified personnel. Our ability to compete successfully, to manage our business effectively, to expand our business and to execute our strategic direction, 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. 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 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 equipment emissions, safety regulations, sustainability, fuel requirements, restricted substances, or greenhouse gas emissions, could lead to new or additional investments in product designs to comply with these regulations. Our internal combustion engines are mainly supplied by FPT Industrial S.p.A., a company controlled by Iveco N.V., which is an independent public company following the 2022 spin-off, and compliance with emissions regulations is contractually allocated to our suppliers. Failure of our suppliers to ensure compliance with the applicable regulations may subject us to administrative and legal proceedings and other material consequences. Further, we may experience production delays if our suppliers are unable design and manufacture components for our products that comply with environmental standards. For instance, as we are required to meet more stringent engine emission reduction standards that are applicable to engines we incorporate into our products, we expect to meet these requirements through the introduction of new technology to our products, engines and exhaust after-treatment systems, as necessary. Failure to meet applicable requirements could materially affect our performance. 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 limit our ability to recoup necessary investments in innovation and research and development. We are subject to extensive laws and regulations, the violation of which could expose CNH to potential liabilities, increased costs and other adverse effects. 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 23 anti-corruption or antitrust or competition laws. 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 14: Commitments and Contingencies” to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023. 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 we operate, which can impose significant additional costs and/or restrictions on our business. In the U.S., for example, the requirements of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“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 includes extensive provisions regulating these securities and related capital market activities by the SEC and increases the regulation of the 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. We have identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. If our remediation of this material weakness is not effective, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports and the trading price of our common shares may decline. In connection with the preparation of our annual report for the year ended December 31, 2023, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness relates to the design and implementation of information technology, or IT, general controls in the areas of user access limits and segregation of duties related to enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications. This material weakness has not resulted in an error or misstatement to our financial statements or the need to revise any of our previously published financial results. We are in the process of taking steps intended to remediate the material weakness. Our efforts have included enhancing our IT general controls framework that addresses risks associated with user access and security, application change management and IT operations. We also expect to engage in focused training for control owners to help sustain effective control operations and comprehensive remediation efforts relating to segregation of duties to strengthen user access controls and security. While we believe these efforts will improve our internal controls and address the underlying causes of the material weakness, the material weakness will not be fully remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented and we have concluded that our controls are operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. We cannot be certain that the steps we are taking will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or prevent future material weaknesses or control deficiencies from occurring. In addition, we cannot be certain that we have identified all material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or that in the future we will not have additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to effectively remediate the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, or if we identify additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls in the future, we may be unable to accurately or timely report our financial condition or results of operations. We also could become subject to sanctions or investigations by the securities exchange on which our common shares are listed, the SEC or other regulatory authorities. In addition, if we are unable to assert that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, or if our independent registered public 24 accounting firm is unable to express an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, when required, investors may lose confidence in the accuracy and completeness of our financial reports, we may face restricted access to the capital markets, and the trading price of our common shares may decline. 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. 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. We also 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 “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.” to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023. 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 25 provision for credit losses. Financial Services may also experience residual value losses that exceed its expectations caused by lower pricing for used equipment and higher than expected equipment returns at lease maturity. 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, 2023, the funded status for our defined benefit pension, healthcare and other post-employment benefit plans was a deficit of $446 million. The funded status is subject to many factors, as discussed in “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Conditions and Results of Operation—Critical Accounting Estimates—Pension and Other Post-employment Benefits,” as well as “Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits” to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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, 2023, we had an aggregate of $27,326 million (including $23,721 million relating to Financial Services’ activities) of consolidated gross indebtedness, and our equity was $8,180 million, including non-controlling interests. 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 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 South America, and from continued concerns about global economic growth, particularly in emerging markets. Further, due to the cessation of the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), the Company has entered into financial transactions such as credit agreements and certain derivative transactions that use the relevant new benchmark rates. These new benchmark rates are calculated differently from LIBOR and have inherent differences, which could give rise to uncertainties, including the limited historical data and volatility in the benchmark rates. The full effects of the transition to these new benchmark rates remain uncertain. 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; 26 ▪ ▪ 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’s credit ratings or those of one or more of its subsidiaries. For further information, see “Note 10: Debt” to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 for additional information. CNH Industrial N.V. 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 N.V. as being tax resident elsewhere. CNH Industrial N.V. is incorporated in the Netherlands. In order to be resident in the U.K. for tax purposes, CNH Industrial N.V.’s central management and control must be located (in whole or in part) in the U.K. 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 will be regarded as solely resident in the U.K. for purposes of the application of the Netherlands-U.K. tax treaty based on the facts and circumstances outlined in the Company’s mutual agreement application. 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 impose withholding taxes on dividends distributed to non-residents by CNH Industrial N.V. and may levy Dutch corporate income tax on CNH Industrial N.V., which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. CNH Industrial N.V. should not be deemed resident in Italy under Italian domestic law except to the extent of CNH Industrial N.V.'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’s management and organizational structure, tax authorities may disagree with our determination of the Company’s tax residence. Should CNH Industrial N.V. be treated as an Italian tax resident beyond its Italian branch, Italy may impose withholding taxes on dividends distributed by CNH Industrial N.V. and levy corporate income tax on CNH Industrial N.V.’s worldwide income, which could result in a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition. The Company could be characterized as a passive foreign investment company (PFIC) for U.S. federal income tax purposes The U.S. federal income tax rules provide specific tax rules applicable to shareholders in companies that meet the definition of a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We believe that the Company is not a passive foreign investment company, but this conclusion is a factual determination made annually and may be subject to change. U.S. Holders of our ordinary shares may suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a PFIC. We may incur additional tax expense or become subject to additional tax exposure. We are subject to income taxes, as well as non- income-based taxes, in various jurisdictions in which we operate around the world. Our tax liabilities are dependent upon the mix 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 to our transfer pricing approach, 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. We are also subject to ongoing tax audits in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. Tax authorities may disagree with certain positions we have taken and assess additional taxes. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. However, there can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and the actual outcomes of these audits could have a material impact on our business, results of operations, financial condition, and cash flows, see Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Taxation. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (the OECD) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (Pillar Two) that has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 countries. During 2023, many countries took steps to incorporate Pillar Two model rule concepts into their domestic laws. The Company continues to monitor developments in the Pillar Two legislation and is working to evaluate the impacts of this legislation on its longer-term financial position. RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON SHARES The loyalty voting program may affect the liquidity of our common shares and reduce our share price. CNH’s loyalty voting program was established to reward shareholders for maintaining long-term share ownership by granting at inception initial shareholders and subsequently any other person holding shares continuously for at least three years, the option to elect to receive special voting shares. Issuance of special voting shares is subject to various conditions set forth in the Company's constituting 27 documents, including the registration of the common shares held by each shareholder requesting the issuance of special voting shares in the CNH Loyalty Register. Special voting shares have minimal economic entitlements and cannot be traded. In the event any shareholder holding such special voting shares intends to transfer its common shares from the CNH Loyalty Register, immediately prior to such transfer, any corresponding special voting shares shall be transferred to CNH 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 January 31, 2024, EXOR N.V. had a voting interest in CNH of approximately 44.2%. For further information, see “Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters” and Note 21 Related Party Information to the consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2023. 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. Item 1B. Unresolved Staff Comments None. Item 1C. Cybersecurity We assess, identify and manage risks from cybersecurity threats through our Information Technology Security and Compliance organization (“Cybersecurity Program”), which is part of our larger enterprise risk management framework. The Cybersecurity Program is currently overseen by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the "Audit Committee") and is managed by our Chief Information and Digital Officer (“CIO”) and a dedicated Chief Information Security Officer (“CISO”). Our current CISO has over 10 years of experience in cybersecurity and has held numerous positions in the cybersecurity sector, including serving as a Global Director of Information Security at another global high-tech manufacturing company. The CISO's organization has oversight of cybersecurity strategy, policy, standards, architecture and processes for the security of our enterprise network and, information assets. The CISO’s organization monitors and manages, and works to identify and assess, cybersecurity risk through various technologies, resources, processes and policies that are updated to align with the changing threat landscape, our evolving business needs and global regulatory requirements. Our strategy includes risk assessments, risk and threat analysis, utilization of security tools, cybersecurity- related tabletop and phishing exercises designed to simulate cybersecurity incidents, and security awareness and technical security trainings. We use a range of defenses to help protect against cybersecurity threats and to work to secure our assets, reduce detection time and improve recoverability These include the ongoing monitoring of our systems, including with the assistance of third party vendors, conducting exercises with employees and senior management, including our executive officers, to promote awareness and improve internal processes. In addition, to promote security awareness throughout the Company, employees with an email address received training and access to security awareness materials in 2023. Further, we are implementing a program for the assessment and monitoring of security standards and control procedures for external suppliers and vendors. Under the Cybersecurity Program, cybersecurity matters are generally managed by a combination of functional groups that report to the Company’s global leadership team, as appropriate, on matters such as enterprise level cybersecurity initiatives, threat intelligence and product cybersecurity risks and remediations. Our Board of Directors (the "Board") addresses our cybersecurity risk management as part of its general oversight function. The Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing our key risks and controls relating to information systems, including our assessment and mitigation of material risks from cybersecurity threats. The Audit Committee receives periodic reports, summaries or presentations related to cybersecurity threats, risk, mitigation and related processes from the Chief Information and Digital Officer and CISO. In addition, on at least an annual basis, the Board receives reports, summaries or presentations from our Chief Information and Digital Officer and CISO related to cybersecurity threats, risk, mitigation and related processes. The CISO maintains and periodically updates a Cybersecurity Incident Response Plan which is a guide for to respond effectively and efficiently to cybersecurity incidents in a coordinated manner in the interest of minimizing the risk of harm to our customers, operations, partners, employees and third parties, consistent with our legal obligations. As of the date of this report, we do not believe 28 that risks from cybersecurity threats have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations or financial condition. However, we recognize the ever-evolving cyber risk landscape and cannot provide any assurances that we will not be subject to a material cybersecurity incident in the future. For a description of risks related to our information technology systems, including cybersecurity threats, see Item 1A, "Risk Factors." Item 2. Properties As of December 31, 2023, we owned 42 manufacturing facilities. We also own other significant properties including spare parts depots, research laboratories, test tracks, warehouses, and office buildings. We consider each of our facilities to be in good condition and adequate for its present use. We believe that we have sufficient capacity to meet our current and anticipated manufacturing requirements.

The most significant of these matters are described in “Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies” to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The outcome of any current or future proceedings, claims, or investigations cannot be predicted with certainty. Adverse decisions in one or more of these proceedings, claims or investigations could require CNH to pay substantial damages or fines or undertake service 30 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 insurance and could affect CNH’s financial position and results. Although the ultimate outcome of legal matters pending against CNH 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. 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. Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosure Not applicable. 31 PART II Item 5. Market for Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities Listing Information As of January 2, 2024, CNH Industrial N.V. common stock is single listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol "CNHI". Prior to January 2, 2024, CNH Industrial N.V. common stock also had a secondary listing on Euronext Milan in Italy. Number of Shareholders At January 31, 2024, there were 403 registered holders of our common stock in the U.S., including 123 shareholders that hold special voting shares associated with their common shares. This number does not include stockholders who hold their stock through brokers, banks and other nominees or hold their shares outside of the United States. Stock Performance Graph The following graph compares the cumulative total shareholder return on our Common Stock with the total return on the S&P 500 Index and the S&P 500 Industrials Index for the five-year period ended December 31, 2023. It shows the growth of a $100 investment on December 31, 2018, including the reinvestment of all dividends.

While the Company currently expects a cash dividend to be paid in the future, future dividend payments will depend on the Company's earnings, capital requirements, financial condition, and other factors considered relevant by the Company's Board of Directors. 32 Comparison of Cumulative Five-Year Total ReturnCNHIS&P 500S&P 500 Industrials12/31/1812/31/1912/31/2012/31/2112/31/2212/31/23$50.00$100.00$150.00$200.00$250.00 Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans See Part III, Item 12 of this Annual Report for information about our equity compensation plans, which is incorporated by reference herein. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities On November 7, 2023 CNH announced its $1 billion share buyback program that expires on March 1, 2024, with the first tranche of up to 400 million euros to be executed in the Euronext Milan and the remainder to be executed on the NYSE. The Company’s purchases of its common shares under the buyback program during the three months ended December 31, 2023, were as follows: Period 10/1/2023 - 10/31/2023 11/1/2023 -11/30/2023(2) 12/1/2023 - 12/31/2023 Total Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs 1,878,078 20,500,164 17,395,789 39,774,031 Average Price Paid per Share (€) Average Price Paid per Share(1) ($) 10.84 9.37 10.45 11.46 10.16 11.40 Approximate USD Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased under the Plans or Programs ($) 7,426,310 796,611,922 598,285,787 598,285,787 1) Share repurchases are made on Euronext Milan and have been translated from Euros at the exchange rate reported by the European Central Bank on the respective transaction dates. 2) The Company completed the sixth and final tranche of its $300 million buyback program on November 6, 2023 and on November 7, 2023, launched its $1 billion share buyback program. Taxation Nothing within this section should be considered or relied upon as tax advice. Rather, all prospective purchasers and holders of CNH stock, regardless of their country of residency, should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of owning and disposing of CNH stock based upon their particular circumstances. Taxation of Loyalty Voting Program The Company maintains a Loyalty Register which provides for special voting shares to reward long-term ownership of the Company’s common shares and to promote stability of its shareholder base, as further defined in Note 16 to the Financial Statements. The tax consequences to Shareholders of owning special voting shares are uncertain because no statutory, judicial or administrative authority directly discusses how the receipt, ownership or disposition of special voting shares should be treated for tax purposes. U.S. Passive Foreign Investment Company (PFIC) The U.S. federal income tax rules provide specific tax rules applicable to shareholders in companies that meet the definition of a passive foreign investment company (“PFIC”) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. CNH believes that shares of its stock are not stock of a PFIC, but this conclusion is a factual determination made annually and thus may be subject to change. U.S. holders of our ordinary shares may suffer adverse tax consequences if we are characterized as a passive foreign investment company. Material U.K. Tax Consequences This section summarizes the material U.K. tax consequences of the ownership of CNH common shares for U.S. Shareholders. It is intended only as a general guide and does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential U.K. tax consequences of holding CNH common shares. This section is based on current U.K. tax law and what is understood to be the current practice of H.M. Revenue and Customs, as well as applicable tax treaties, as of the date of this form. This law and practice and these treaties are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis. This section applies only to shareholders of CNH that are U.S. Shareholders, that are not resident or domiciled in the U.K., that hold their shares as an investment, and that are the absolute beneficial owner of both the shares and any dividends paid on the shares. This section does not apply to members of any special class of shareholders subject to special rules, such as: • • a pension fund; a charity; 33 • • • • persons acquiring their shares in connection with an office or employment; a dealer in securities; an insurance company; or a collective investment scheme. In addition, this section may not apply to: • • any shareholders that, either alone or together, with one or more associated persons, such as personal trusts and connected persons, control directly or indirectly at least 10% of the voting rights or of any class of share capital of CNH; or any person holding shares as a borrower under a stock loan or an interim holder under a repurchase agreement. Taxation of Dividends Withholding from dividend payments Under U.K. domestic law, dividend payments on CNH common shares may be made without withholding or deduction for or on account of U.K. income tax. Non-U.K. - Resident Shareholders A shareholder of CNH common shares that is not resident in the U.K. for U.K. tax purposes will not be liable to account for income or corporation tax in the U.K. on dividends paid on the shares unless the shareholder carries on a trade (or profession or vocation) in the U.K. and the dividends are either a receipt of that trade (or profession or vocation) or, in the case of U.K. corporation tax, the shares are held by or for a U.K. permanent establishment through which the trade is carried on. Taxation of Capital Gains Non-U.K. - Resident Shareholders As long as CNH does not maintain any share register in the U.K., the disposal of CNH common shares by a shareholder that is not resident in the U.K. for tax purposes (other than individuals temporarily non-resident in the U.K. for a period of less than five complete tax years) will not give rise to a chargeable gain or allowable loss. Stamp Duty and Stamp Duty Reserve Tax (“SDRT”) As long as CNH does not maintain any share register in the U.K., (i) U.K. stamp duty will not normally be payable in connection with a transfer of common shares, provided that the instrument of transfer is executed and retained outside the U.K. and no other action is taken in the U.K. by the transferor or transferee, and (ii) no U.K. SDRT will be payable in respect of any agreement to transfer CNH common shares. Tax Consequences of Participating in the Loyalty Voting Program A non-U.K.-resident shareholder that would not be subject to tax on dividends or capital gains in respect of CNH common shares will not be subject to U.K. tax in respect of the special voting shares. As long as CNH does not maintain any share register in the U.K., no liability to U.K. stamp duty or SDRT will arise to shareholders on the issue or repurchase of special voting shares. Netherlands Taxation This section summarizes solely the principal Dutch tax consequences of the acquisition, the ownership and the disposal of CNH common shares and / or special voting shares, by Non-Resident holders of such shares (as defined below). It does not purport to describe every aspect of Dutch taxation that may be relevant to a particular holder of CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares. Tax matters are complex, and the tax consequences to a particular holder of CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares, will depend in part on such holder’s circumstances. Shareholders and any potential inventor should consult their own tax advisors regarding the Dutch tax consequences of acquiring, owning and disposing of CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares in their particular circumstances. Where in this summary English terms and expressions are used to refer to Dutch concepts, the meaning to be attributed to such terms and expressions shall be the meaning to be attributed to the equivalent Dutch concepts under Dutch tax law. Where in this section the terms “the Netherlands” and “Dutch” are used, these refer solely to the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands 34 This summary also assumes that the board shall control the conduct of the affairs of CNH and shall procure that CNH is organized in accordance with the facts, based upon which the competent authorities of the U.K. and the Netherlands have ruled that CNH should be treated as solely resident of the U.K. for the application of the tax treaty as concluded between the U.K. and the Netherlands. A change in facts and circumstances based upon which the ruling was issued may invalidate the contents of this section, which will not be updated to reflect any such change. This summary is based on the tax law of the Netherlands (unpublished case law not included) as it stands at the date of this form. The law upon which this summary is based is subject to change, perhaps with retroactive effect. Any such change may invalidate the contents of this summary, which will not be updated to reflect such changes. Scope of the Summary The summary of Dutch taxes set out in this section “Material Dutch tax consequences” only applies to a holder of shares who is a Non-Resident holder of shares. For the purpose of this summary, a holder of shares is a Non-Resident holder of shares if such holder is neither a resident nor deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for purposes of Dutch income tax or corporation tax as the case may be. This Dutch taxation discussion does not address the Dutch tax consequences for a holder of CNH common shares and, if applicable, special voting shares, who: 1. Is a person who may be deemed an owner of CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares for Dutch tax purposes pursuant to specific statutory attribution rules in Dutch tax law; 2. Owns CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares in connection with a membership of a management board or a supervisory board, an employment relationship, a deemed employment relationship or management role; or 3. Is for Dutch tax purposes taxable as a corporate entity and resident of Aruba, Curaçao, or Sint Maarten. Dividend Withholding Tax CNH is generally required to withhold Dutch dividend withholding tax at a rate of 15 percent from dividends distributed by it. The competent authorities of the U.K. and the Netherlands have ruled that CNH is resident of the U.K. for the application of the tax treaty as concluded between the Netherlands and the U.K. Consequently, payments made by CNH on the common shares and / or the special voting shares to Non-Resident shareholders may be made free from Dutch dividend withholding tax. Taxes on income and capital gains from the ownership and disposition of CNH common shares and / or special voting shares Individuals If a Non-Resident holder of CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares is an individual, the holder will not be subject to Dutch income tax in respect of any benefits derived or deemed to be derived from or in connection with CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares, except if: (i) (ii) (iii) the holder derives profits from an enterprise, whether as an entrepreneur or pursuant to a co-entitlement to the net value of such enterprise, other than as a shareholder, and such enterprise is carried on, in whole or in part, through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in the Netherlands, and such holder’s CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares are attributable to such permanent establishment or permanent representative; or the holder benefits or is deemed to derive benefits from or in connection with CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares that are taxable as benefits from miscellaneous activities performed in the Netherlands; or the holder derives profits pursuant to the entitlement to a share in the profits of an enterprise, other than as a holder of securities, which is effectively managed in the Netherlands and to which enterprise CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares are attributable. Corporate entities If a Non-Resident holder of CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares is a corporate entity, or an entity including an association, a partnership and a mutual fund, taxable as a corporate entity, it will not be subject to Dutch corporation tax in respect of any benefits derived or deemed to be derived from or in connection with CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares, except if: (i) it derives profits from an enterprise directly which is carried on, in whole or in part, through a permanent establishment or a permanent representative in the Netherlands, and to which permanent establishment or permanent representative its CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares are attributable; or 35 (ii) it derives profits pursuant to a co-entitlement to the net value of an enterprise which is managed in the Netherlands, other than as a holder of securities, and to which enterprise its CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares are attributable. Gift and Inheritance Taxes No Dutch gift or inheritance taxes will arise with respect to an acquisition or deemed acquisition of CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares by way of a gift by, or upon the death of, a holder of CNH common shares, and, if applicable, special voting shares, who is neither resident nor deemed to be resident in the Netherlands for purposes of Dutch gift tax or Dutch inheritance tax except if, in the event of a gift whilst not being a resident nor being a deemed resident in the Netherlands for purposes of Dutch gift tax or Dutch inheritance tax, a holder of CNH common shares and, if applicable, a holder of CNH special voting shares becomes a resident or a deemed resident in the Netherlands and dies within 180 days after the date of the gift. For purposes of Dutch gift and inheritance taxes, a gift of CNH common shares and, if applicable, CNH special voting shares made under a condition precedent is deemed to be made at the time the condition precedent is satisfied. Registration Taxes and Duties No Dutch registration tax, transfer tax, stamp duty or any other similar documentary tax or duty, other than court fees, is payable in the Netherlands in respect of or in connection with the execution and/or enforcement (including by legal proceedings and including the enforcement of any foreign judgment in the courts of the Netherlands) of the documents relating to the issue of CNH common shares and / or special voting shares or the performance by CNH of its obligations under such documents, or the transfer of CNH common shares and / or special voting shares. Item 6. [Reserved] Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations See the information under the caption “Management’s Discussion and Analysis.” Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk We are exposed to the following financial risks connected with our operations: • • • credit risk related to our financing activities; currency risk; and interest rate risk. We attempt to actively manage these risks. The quantitative data reported in the following sections 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 end markets in which we operate; in all cases, 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 in the European Union market and in North America, as well as in South America for Agriculture and Construction. 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, 2023 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. 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 agricultural equipment, construction equipment and related parts. These guarantees are further secured, where 36 possible, by retention of title clauses or specific guarantees on financed equipment sales to the distribution network and on equipment under finance or leasing agreements. Balances which are objectively uncollectible either in part or for the whole amount are written down on a specific basis if they are individually significant. The amount of the write-down takes into account an estimate of the recoverable cash flows and the date of receipt, the costs of recovery, and the fair value of any guarantees received. Impairment losses are recognized for receivables that are not written down on a specific basis, but rather determined based on historical experience and statistical information. Receivables for financing activities amounted to $24,249 million at December 31, 2023 ($19,260 million at December 31, 2022) containing balances totaling $363 million ($334 million at December 31, 2022) that have been written down. In addition, balances totaling $184 million ($117 million at December 31, 2022) were either past due or in nonaccrual status. In the event of installment payments, even if only one installment is overdue, the whole amount of the receivable is classified as such. Trade receivables totaling $133 million at December 31, 2023 ($172 million at December 31, 2022) contain balances totaling $24 million ($23 million at December 31, 2022) that have been written down. 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 net income/(loss) of that company. In 2023, the total net trade flows exposed to currency risk amounted to the equivalent of 21% of our revenue (19% in 2022). The principal exchange rates to which we 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 2023 made up approximately 73% 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 forecasted risk exposure beyond that timeframe 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 currencies different from the subsidiary’s functional currency. Certain of our subsidiaries’ functional currency is different than the U.S. dollar, which is the Company’s reporting 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. We monitor our principal exposure to conversion exchange risk, although there was no specific hedging in place at December 31, 2023. There were no substantial changes in 2023 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, 2023 resulting from a hypothetical change of 10% in the exchange rates amounted to approximately $167 million ($276 million at December 31, 2022). 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. 37 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), financed 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 net income/(loss). In order to mitigate these risks, we use interest rate derivative financial instruments, mainly interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements. 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, 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, 2023, resulting from a hypothetical, unfavorable and instantaneous change of 10% in market interest rates, would have been approximately $21 million (approximately $29 million at December 31, 2022). 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, 2023, 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 $10 million (approximately $15 million at December 31, 2022). 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. Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data See the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto and supplementary data. Item 9. Changes in and Disagreements with Accountants on Accounting and Financial Disclosure None. Item 9A. Controls and Procedures Disclosure Controls and Procedures As of the end of the period covered by this report, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, due to the unremediated material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting as described below, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of December 31, 2023. Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our internal control system is designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published financial statements. All internal control systems, no matter how well designed, have inherent limitations. Therefore, even 38 those systems determined to be effective can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and presentation. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission guidance allows companies to exclude acquisitions from management's report on internal control over financial reporting for the first year after the acquisition when it is not possible to conduct an assessment. In March 2023, the Company acquired the remaining 89.5% of the capital stock of Augmenta Holding SAS ("Augmenta") it did not own and it acquired a controlling interest in Bennamann Ltd ("Bennamann"). In October 2023, the Company also acquired 100% of the capital stock of Hemisphere GNSS ("Hemisphere") (see Note 2). Due to the timing of the Augmenta, Bennamann and Hemisphere acquisitions, management has excluded Augmenta, Bennamann and Hemisphere from the annual assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. Augmenta, Bennamann and Hemisphere represent less than 2% of the consolidated total net assets (excluding acquired intangible assets and goodwill in purchase accounting) and less than 1% of the consolidated Net revenues. Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023. In making this assessment, it used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (2013 framework) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework. Based on our assessment, and the material weakness noted below, we believe that, as of December 31, 2023 our internal control over financial reporting was not effective. Deloitte & Touche LLP, the independent registered public accounting firm that audited our 2023 consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. The report appears on page 40. Material Weakness In connection with the preparation of our quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2023 we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, which persisted as of December 31, 2023. A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of a company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weakness relates to the design and implementation of information technology (IT) general controls in the areas of user access limits and segregation of duties related to multiple enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications. These control deficiencies have not resulted in an error or misstatements to our financial statements or the need to revise any previously published financial results. However, these deficiencies if not timely remediated, could impact maintaining effective segregation of duties, as well as the effectiveness of IT-dependent controls (such as automated controls that address the risk of material misstatements to one or more assertions, and IT controls and underlying data that support the effectiveness of IT system- generated data and reports). The control deficiencies could have resulted in a misstatement of one or more account balances or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected, and accordingly, we determined that these control deficiencies constitute a material weakness. Management’s Plan to Remediate the Material Weakness Subsequent to the identification of the material weakness, management under the oversight of the Audit Committee has been implementing measures and taking steps to address the underlying causes of the material weakness, including enhancing our IT general controls framework that addresses risks associated with user access and security, application change management and IT operations. We are implementing enhanced compensating controls and providing focused training for control owners to help sustain effective control operations and comprehensive remediation efforts relating to segregation of duties to strengthen user access controls and security. While we believe these efforts have improved our internal controls and address the underlying cause of the material weakness, the material weakness will not be remediated until our remediation plan has been fully implemented and tested and we have concluded that following the improvements to our internal controls, our control environment is operating effectively for a sufficient period of time. In particular, the enhanced compensating controls and training will require time to test and assess. We cannot be certain that the steps we are taking will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting or prevent future material weaknesses or control deficiencies from occurring. In addition, we cannot be certain that we have identified all material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, or that in the future we will not have additional material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting As described above, the Company is taking steps to remediate the material weakness noted above. Other than in connection with these remediation steps, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended December 31, 2023, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 39 Limitations on Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures and Internal Control over Financial Reporting Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to the costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. 40 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the shareholders and the Board of Directors of CNH Industrial N.V. Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of CNH Industrial N.V. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness identified below on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, of the Company and our report dated February 29, 2024, expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. As described in Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting, management excluded from its assessment, the internal control over financial reporting at Bennamann LTD (“Bennamann”), Augmenta Holding SAS (“Augmenta”) and Hemisphere GNSS (“Hemisphere”), which were acquired on March 15, 2023, March 13, 2023 and October 12, 2023, respectively, and whose financial statements represent less than 2% of total assets of the consolidated financial statement amounts (excluding acquired intangible assets and goodwill valued in purchase accounting) for the year ended December 31, 2023. Accordingly, our audit did not include the internal controls over financial reporting at Bennamann, Augmenta, or Hemisphere. Basis for Opinion The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management's Annual Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Material Weakness A material weakness is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management's assessment: material weakness related to the design and implementation of information technology general controls in the areas of user access limits and segregation of duties related to multiple enterprise resource planning (ERP) applications. 41 This material weakness was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, of the Company, and this report does not affect our report on such financial statements. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Chicago, Illinois February 29, 2024 42 Item 9B.

The MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, the consolidated financial statements and the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. This discussion includes forward-looking statements, which, although based on assumptions that we consider reasonable, are subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual events or conditions to differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. This MD&A should be read in conjunction with our discussion of cautionary statements and significant risks to the Company’s business under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Overview CNH is a leading equipment and services company engaged in the design, production, marketing, sale, and financing of agricultural and construction equipment. Until December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial N.V. owned and controlled the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business” or the “On-Highway Business”), as well as the Agriculture business, the Construction business, and the related Financial Services business (collectively, the “Off-Highway Business”). Effective January 1, 2022, the Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. by way of a demerger under Dutch law (the "Demerger") to Iveco Group N.V. (the "Iveco Group") and the Iveco Group became a public listed company independent from CNH, with its common shares trading on Euronext Milan. The On-Highway Business' financial results for the periods prior to the Demerger have been reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Operations, retrospectively, as discontinued operations. Additionally, the related assets and liabilities associated with the On-Highway Business in the prior year consolidated balance sheet are classified as discontinued operations within Assets Held for Distribution and Liabilities Held for Distribution on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We generate revenues and cash flows principally from the sale of equipment to dealers and distributors. Financial Services provides a range of financial products focused on financing the sale and lease of equipment to our dealers and their customers. Revenues of Industrial Activities are presented net of discounts, allowances, settlement discounts and rebates, as well as costs for sales incentive programs, determined on the basis of historical costs, country by country, and charged against profit for the period in which the corresponding sales are recognized. Our sales incentive programs may include the granting by Financial Services of retail financing at discounts to market interest rates. The corresponding cost to Industrial Activities is recognized at the time of the initial sale and the revenues of Financial Services are recognized on a pro rata basis in order to match the cost of funding. Principal Factors Affecting Results Our operating performance is highly correlated to sales volumes, which are influenced by several different factors that vary across our segments. For Agriculture, the key factors influencing sales are the level of net farm income, which is influenced by commodity prices, and, to a lesser extent, general economic conditions, interest rates and the availability of financing and related subsidy programs. Variations by region and product are also attributable to differences in typical climate and farming calendars, as well as extraordinary weather conditions. For Construction, segmentation varies by regional market: in developed markets, demand is oriented toward more sophisticated machines that increase operator productivity, while in developing markets, demand is oriented toward more utilitarian models with greater perceived durability. Sales levels for heavy construction equipment are particularly dependent on the expected level of major infrastructure construction and repair projects, which is a function of expected economic growth and government spending. For light construction equipment, the principal factor influencing demand is the level of residential and commercial construction, remodeling and renovation, which is influenced in turn by interest rates and availability of financing, as well as, in the residential sector, levels of disposable income and, in the commercial sector, the broader economic cycle. Demand for services and service-related products, including parts, is a function of the nature and extent of the use of the related agricultural and construction equipment. The after-sales market is historically less volatile than the wholegoods market and, therefore, helps reduce the impact on operating results of fluctuations in new sales. Our cost base principally comprises the cost of raw materials and personnel costs. Raw material costs are closely linked to commodity markets and largely outside of our control, although we are making a targeted effort to increase procurement and production efficiencies. Historically, we have been able to pass on to our customers most of the increase in the cost of raw materials through increases in product pricing. Nevertheless, even when we are able to do so, there is 49 usually a time lag between an increase in materials cost and a realized increase in product prices and, accordingly, our results are typically adversely affected at least in the short-term until price increases are accepted in the market. Personnel costs change over time and are impacted by the terms of collective bargaining agreements, inflation and average number of employees. A significant proportion of our employees are based in countries where labor laws impose significant protection of employers’ rights and, accordingly, we have limited ability to downsize our personnel in response to a decrease in production during periods of market downturn. Our results are also affected by changes in foreign exchange rates from period to period, mainly due to the difference in geographic distribution between our manufacturing activities and our commercial activities, resulting in cash flows from exports denominated in currencies that differ from those associated with production costs. In addition, our Consolidated Financial Statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and are therefore subject to movements in exchange rates upon translation of the financial statements of subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. Finally, our results may be materially affected, directly or indirectly, by governmental policies, including monetary and fiscal policies and policies on international trade and investment. Global Business Conditions In combination with the economic recovery factors and repercussions from geopolitical events, the global economy continues to experience volatile disruptions including to the commodity, labor and transportation markets. These disruptions have contributed to an inflationary environment which has affected, and may continue to affect, the price and availability of certain products and services necessary for the Company's operations. For example, the Company experienced supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures in 2022 and, while these trends improved in 2023, the Company continues to experience some disruptions. The reduction in supply chain disruptions contributed to improved efficiencies in our manufacturing operations, but purchasing costs remain elevated. In addition, the Company continues to monitor global economic conditions and the impact of macroeconomic pressures, including repercussions from rising interest rates, fluctuating currency exchange rates, inflation and recession fears, on the Company’s business, customers and suppliers. For a discussion of the Company’s risks and uncertainties, see Part 1, Item 1A: Risk Factors. Non-GAAP Financial Measures CNH monitors its operations through the use of several non-GAAP financial measures. CNH’s management believes that these non- GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding its operating results and enhance the readers’ ability to assess CNH’s financial performance and financial position. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions as they provide additional transparency with respect to our core operations. These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning under U.S. GAAP and are unlikely to be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies and are not intended to be substitutes for measures of financial performance and financial position as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. As of December 31, 2023, CNH’s non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows: Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities is defined as net income (loss) before: income taxes, Financial Services’ results, Industrial Activities’ interest expenses, net, foreign exchange gains/losses, finance and non-service component of pension and other post- employment benefit costs, restructuring expenses, and certain non-recurring items. Such non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of ongoing operational activities. Net (Cash) Debt and Net (Cash) Debt of Industrial Activities Net Cash (Debt) is defined as total debt less: intersegment notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, other current financial assets (primarily current securities, short-term deposits and investments towards high-credit rating counterparties) and derivative hedging debt. CNH provides the reconciliation of Net Cash (Debt) to Total (Debt), which is the most directly comparable measure included in the consolidated balance sheets. Due to different sources of cash flows used for the repayment of the debt between Industrial Activities and Financial Services (by cash from operations for Industrial Activities and by collection of financing receivables for Financial Services), management separately evaluates the cash flow performance of Industrial Activities using Net Cash (Debt) of Industrial Activities. 50 Revenues on a Constant Currency Basis CNH discusses the fluctuations in revenues on a constant currency basis by applying the prior year average exchange rates to current year’s revenues expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (or Industrial Free Cash Flow) refers to Industrial Activities, only, and is computed as consolidated cash flow from operating activities less: cash flow from operating activities of Financial Services; investments of Industrial Activities in assets sold under operating leases, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets; change in derivatives hedging debt of Industrial Activities; as well as other changes and intersegment eliminations. Operating Results The operations and key financial measures and financial analysis differ significantly for manufacturing and distribution businesses and financial services businesses; therefore, management believes that certain supplemental disclosures are important in understanding our consolidated operations and financial results. For further information, see “Supplemental Information” within this section, where we present supplemental consolidating data split by Industrial Activities and Financial Services. Transactions between Industrial Activities and Financial Services have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated data. 2023 Compared to 2022 Consolidated Results of Operations (in millions of dollars) Revenues Net sales 2023 2022 $ 22,080 $ 21,541 Finance, interest and other income Total Revenues Costs and Expenses Cost of goods sold Selling, general and administrative expenses Research and development expenses Restructuring expenses Interest expense Other, net Total Costs and Expenses Income (loss) of Consolidated Group before Income Taxes Income tax expense Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates Net income (loss) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests Net income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. $ 2,607 24,687 16,838 1,863 1,041 67 1,345 830 21,984 2,703 (594) 274 2,383 12 2,371 $ 2,010 23,551 16,797 1,752 866 31 734 689 20,869 2,682 (747) 104 2,039 10 2,029 Revenues We recorded revenues of $24,687 million in 2023, an increase of 4.8% (up 4.7% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2022. This increase is primarily due to favorable price realization. Cost of Goods Sold Cost of goods sold were $16,838 million in 2023 compared to $16,797 million in 2022, an increase of 0.2% year over year. As a percentage of net sales of Industrial Activities, cost of goods sold was 76.3% in 2023 (78.0% in 2022), as a result of favorable price realization, partially offset by higher manufacturing and purchasing costs. For year ended December 31, 2022 this item includes $41 million of asset write-downs due to the suspension of operations in Russia. 51 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses Selling, General and Administrative Expenses ("SG&A") expenses were $1,863 million in 2023 (7.5% of revenues) compared to $1,752 million in 2022 (7.4% of revenues). The year over year increase is primarily due to increased labor costs. For year ended December 31, 2022, SG&A includes $17 million of asset write-downs due to the suspension of operations in Russia. Research and Development In 2023, R&D expenses were $1,041 million compared to $866 million in 2022. The expense in both years was primarily attributable to continued investment in new products, technologies and digital solutions. Restructuring Expenses The Company incurred restructuring costs of $67 million and $31 million for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest Expense Interest expense increased to $1,345 million in 2023 from $734 million in 2022 primarily due to higher average interest rates on greater external borrowings, supporting working capital requirements and an increase to the financial services portfolio. The interest expense attributable to Industrial Activities, net of interest income and eliminations, was $76 million in 2023 compared to $119 million in 2022. Other, net Other, net expenses were $830 million in 2023 and included a pre-tax gain of $24 million ($18 million after-tax) as a result of the amortization over 4 years of the $101 million positive impact from the 2021 U.S. healthcare plan modification and a gain of $13 million in relation to the fair value remeasurement of previously held investments in Augmenta and Bennamann, offset by a loss of $23 million on the sale of CNH Industrial Russia. Other, net expenses were $689 million in 2022 and included a pre-tax gain of $90 million ($68 million after-tax) as a result of the Benefit Modification Amortization over approximately 4.5 years of the $527 million positive impact from the 2018 U.S. healthcare plan modification, a pre-tax gain of $24 million ($18 million after-tax) as a result of the amortization over 4 years of the $101 million positive impact from the 2021 U.S. healthcare plan modification, a pre-tax gain of $65 million ($70 million after-tax) on the sale of a facility in Canada, $22 million ($54 million after-tax) of loss on the sale of Raven Engineered Films and Aerostar Divisions, net of income from those businesses held for sale during the period, separation costs in connection with the spin-off of the On-Highway business of $25 million ($24 million after-tax), and foreign exchange losses of $59 million. Income Taxes (in millions of dollars, except percentages) Income (loss) of Consolidated Group before Income Taxes Income tax expense Effective tax rate $ $ 2023 2022 $ $ 2,703 594 22.0 % 2,682 747 27.9 % In 2023, income taxes were an expense of $594 million, compared to a tax expense of $747 million in 2022. The effective tax rates for 2023 and 2022 were 22.0% and 27.9%, respectively. The 2023 effective tax rate was reduced by the recognition of $99 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in the United Kingdom, lower profitability in high-tax jurisdictions as a percent of total profit, higher credits and incentives, and the tax benefits related to the sale of CNH Industrial Russia; offset by increases in the tax rate due to the tax impact from the Argentina highly inflationary economy and discrete tax expense associated with prior periods. In 2022, income taxes were an expense of $747 million with an effective tax rate of 27.9%. The Company's 2022 tax rate was increased by greater profitability in high-tax jurisdictions as a percent of total profit, tax expenses associated with the disposition of Raven’s Engineered Films and Aerostar Divisions, additional reserves for uncertain tax positions and the tax impacts associated with Argentina’s highly inflationary economy. These impacts were partially offset by the recognition of $55 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in Italy. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (the OECD) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits ("Pillar Two") that has been agreed upon in principle by over 140 countries. During 2023, many countries took steps to incorporate Pillar Two model rule concepts into their domestic laws. The Company continues to monitor developments in the Pillar Two legislation and is working to evaluate the impacts of this legislation on its longer-term financial position. 52 Equity in Income of Unconsolidated Subsidiaries and Affiliates Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates was $274 million in 2023 compared to $104 million in 2022 primarily from our joint venture. The 2023 equity income includes a foreign exchange impact of $84 million. Industrial Activities and Business Segments The following tables include Revenues and Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities by segment. We have also included a discussion of our results by Industrial Activities and each of our segments.

Net sales of Industrial Activities were $22,080 million in 2023, up 2.5% compared to the prior year (up 2.4% on a constant currency basis) primarily due to favorable price realization. Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities was $2,730 million in 2023 ($2,433 million in 2022), with an Adjusted EBIT margin of 12.4%. The increase in adjusted EBIT was primarily attributable to gross margin improvement in our Agriculture and Construction segments, partially offset by increased SG&A expenditures and R&D investments. Business Segment Performance Agriculture Net Sales The following table includes Agriculture net sales by geographic region in 2023 compared to 2022: Agriculture Sales – by geographic region: (in millions of dollars) North America Europe, Middle East and Africa South America Asia Pacific Total 2023 2022 % Change $ 7,157 $ 5,878 3,178 1,935 6,769 5,776 3,738 1,686 $ 18,148 $ 17,969 5.7 % 1.8 % (15.0) % 14.8 % 1.0 % Net sales for Agriculture were $18,148 million in 2023, a 1.0% increase (up 0.9% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2022. The increase was driven by favorable price realization, partially offset by dealer destocking actions due to lower industry demand. In North America, industry volume was up 20% year over year in 2023 for tractors over 140 hp and was down 9% for tractors under 140 hp; combines were up 2%. In Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), tractor and combine demand was flat and up 8%, 53 respectively, of which Europe tractor and combine demand was down 3% and 3%, respectively. South America tractor demand was down 8% and combine demand was down 18%. Asia Pacific tractor demand was down 5% and combine demand was down 37%. Adjusted EBIT Adjusted EBIT was $2,732 million in 2023, compared to $2,456 million in 2022. The $276 million increase was mostly driven by gross margin improvement, partially offset by increased production costs, SG&A expenses and R&D investments. Adjusted EBIT margin was 15.1%. Construction Net Sales The following table includes Construction net sales by geographic region in 2023 compared to 2022: Construction Sales – by geographic region: (in millions of dollars) North America Europe, Middle East and Africa South America Asia Pacific Total 2023 2022 % Change $ 2,253 $ 1,721 851 559 269 907 665 279 $ 3,932 $ 3,572 30.9 % (6.2) % (15.9) % (3.6) % 10.1 % Net sales for Construction were $3,932 million in 2023, a 10.1% increase (up 9.8% on a constant currency basis) compared to 2022, driven by favorable price realization and positive volume/mix mainly in North America; partially offset by lower net revenue from South America, and ceased activities in China and Russia. Global industry volume for construction equipment decreased in both Heavy and Light sub-segments year over year in 2023, down 14% and 1%, respectively. Aggregated demand increased 2% in EMEA, increased 3% in North America, decreased 24% in South America and decreased 17% for Asia Pacific, particularly in China. Adjusted EBIT Adjusted EBIT was $238 million in 2023 (up $114 million compared to 2022). The improvement was due to favorable volume and mix and favorable price realization, partially offset by higher raw materials and manufacturing costs and increased R&D investments. Adjusted EBIT margin was 6.1%. Financial Services Performance Finance, Interest and Other Income Financial Services reported revenues of $2,573 million in 2023, up 28.9% compared to 2022 (up 28.6% on a constant currency basis) primarily driven by favorable volumes and higher base rates across all regions, partially offset by lower used equipment sales due to decreased operating lease maturities. Net Income For the year ended December 31, 2023, net income was $371 million, a $33 million increase compared to 2022, driven by favorable volumes in all regions, partially offset by margin compression in all regions, higher risk costs, increased labor costs and higher taxes, primarily due to increased profitability. In 2023, retail originations (including unconsolidated joint ventures) were $11.5 billion, up $1.5 billion compared to 2022 (up $1.5 billion on a constant currency basis). The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $28.9 billion as of December 31, 2023 (of which retail was 64% and wholesale 36%), up $5.1 billion compared to December 31, 2022 (up $4.4 billion on a constant currency basis). At December 31, 2023, the receivable balance greater than 30 days past-due as a percentage of receivables was 1.4% (1.3% as of December 31, 2022). 54 2022 Compared to 2021 Please refer to the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis” section of our 2022 Form 10-K.

Liquidity and Capital Resources Our operations are capital intensive and subject to seasonal variations in financing requirements for dealer receivables and dealer and company inventories. Whenever necessary, funds from operating activities are supplemented from external sources. CNH, focusing on cash preservation and leveraging its good access to funding, continues to maintain solid financial strength and liquidity. Capital Resources The cash flows, funding requirements and liquidity of CNH 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. 58 Our subsidiaries participate in a company-wide cash management system, which we operate in a number of jurisdictions. Under this system, the cash balances of our subsidiaries are aggregated at the end of each business day to central pooling accounts. The centralized treasury management offers financial and systems expertise in managing these accounts, as well as providing related services and consulting to our business segments. Our policy is to keep a high degree of flexibility with our funding and investment options in order to maintain our desired level of liquidity to achieve our rating targets while improving the Company’s capital structure over time. In managing our liquidity requirements, we are pursuing a financing strategy that aims at extending over time our Industrial Activities debt profile by issuing long-term bonds and retiring short-term debt through opportunistic transactions, deleveraging our Industrial Activities balance sheet by reducing gross debt, and diversifying funding sources. A summary of our strategy is set forth below: • • • Industrial Activities sells certain of its receivables to Financial Services and relies on internal cash flows including managing working capital to fund its near-term financing requirements. We will also supplement our short-term financing by drawing on existing or new facilities with banks. To the extent funding needs of Industrial Activities are determined to be of a longer-term nature, we will access public debt markets as well as private investors and banks, as appropriate, to refinance borrowings and replenish our liquidity. Financial Services’ funding strategy is to maintain sufficient 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 secured and unsecured facilities, a repurchase agreement, commercial paper and unsecured notes. On a global level, we will continue to evaluate alternatives to ensure that Financial Services has access to capital on favorable terms to support its business, including agreements with global or regional partners, new funding arrangements or a combination of the foregoing. Our access to external sources of financing, as well as the cost of financing, is dependent on various factors, including our credit ratings. On January 4, 2022, Fitch Ratings raised its Long-Term Issuer Default Rating ("IDR") on CNH Industrial N.V. to ‘BBB+’ from ‘BBB-’. Fitch also upgraded CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A.’s senior unsecured rating to ‘BBB+’ from ‘BBB-’. The Outlook is stable. On January 7, 2022, Fitch upgraded the Long-Term IDR and senior long-term debt ratings of CNH Industrial Capital LLC and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. to 'BBB+' from 'BBB-'. The outlook is stable. Fitch has also upgraded CNH Industrial Capital LLC's short-term IDR and commercial paper ratings to 'F2' from 'F3'. On February 25, 2022, Moody's upgraded the senior unsecured ratings of CNH Industrial N.V. and its supported subsidiaries including CNH Industrial Capital LLC, CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A., CNH Industrial Capital Australia Pty. Ltd. and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. to Baa2 from Baa3. At the same time, Moody's withdrew CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. short term rating of (P)P-3. The rating outlook is stable. On November 30, 2023, Standard & Poor's ("S&P") Global Ratings raised its long-term issuer credit ratings on CNH Industrial N.V. and its subsidiary, CNH Industrial Capital LLC, to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'. S&P Global Ratings also affirmed the 'A-2' short-term issuer credit rating. Additionally, S&P Global Ratings raised the issue-level ratings on CNH Industrial N.V. and its industrial subsidiaries' debt, as well as the issue-level ratings on CNH Industrial Capital LLC's senior unsecured debt, to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'. The outlook is stable. Current ratings for the Company are as follows: CNH Industrial N.V.(1) CNH Industrial Capital LLC Long-Term Short-Term S&P Global Ratings Fitch Ratings Moody’s Investors Service BBB+ BBB+ Baa2 A-2 - - Outlook Stable Stable Stable Senior Long- Term Short-Term BBB+ BBB+ Baa2 A-2 F2 - Outlook Stable Stable Stable (1) Includes treasury subsidiary, CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. The Company’s debt is investment grade, which the Company believes will allow it to access funding at better rates. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities. Ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the assigning rating organization, and each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. A deterioration in our ratings could impair our ability to obtain debt financing and would increase the cost of such financing. Ratings are influenced by a number of 59 factors, including, among others: financial leverage on an absolute basis or relative to peers, the composition of the balance sheet and/ or capital structure, material changes in earnings trends and volatility, ability to dividend monies from subsidiaries and our competitive position. Material deterioration in any one, or a combination, of these factors could result in a downgrade of our ratings, thus increasing the cost, and limiting the availability, of financing. Consolidated Debt As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our consolidated Debt was as detailed in the table below: (in millions of dollars) Total Debt Consolidated Industrial Activities Financial Services 2023 2022 2023 2022 2023 2022 $ 27,472 $ 23,118 $ 4,439 $ 4,977 $ 23,861 $ 19,092 We believe that Net Cash/(Debt), a non-GAAP financial measure as defined in the section “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”, of section "General" above, is a useful analytical metric for measuring our effective borrowing requirements. We provide a separate analysis of Net Cash/(Debt) of Industrial Activities and Net (Cash)/Debt of Financial Services to reflect the different cash flow management practices in the two activities. Industrial Activities reflects the consolidation of all majority-owned subsidiaries, including those performing centralized treasury activities, except for Financial Services subsidiaries. Financial Services reflects the consolidation of the Financial Services’ businesses. The calculation of Net Cash/(Debt) has of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the reconciliation of Total Debt, the U.S. GAAP financial measure that we believe to be most directly comparable, to Net Debt/Cash, are shown below: (in millions of dollars) Third party (debt) Intersegment notes payable Financial payables to Iveco Group N.V.

Total (Debt) of Financial Services includes Intersegment notes payable to Industrial Activities of $527 million and $888 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This item includes short-term deposits and investments toward high-credit rating counterparties. The net intersegment receivable/(payable) balance owed by Financial Services relating to Industrial Activities was $(226) million and $(825) million as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Excluding exchange rate differences effect of $536 million, Net Debt at December 31, 2023 increased by $4,118 million compared to December 31, 2022, mainly reflecting the increase in portfolio receivables of Financial Services of $4,485 million, and the cash out of $1,190 million related to yearly dividend and share buyback program, partially offset by a Free Cash Flow generation from Industrial Activities of $1,216 million. Cash Flow Analysis For the year ended December 31, 2023, Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash combined were $5,045 million, a decrease of $84 million from December 31, 2022, primarily due to receivables portfolio absorption, dividends paid, investments in fixed assets, and acquisition of businesses and other equity investments, partially offset by operating activities cash generation and an increase in external borrowings to support working capital requirements. 60 At December 31, 2023, Cash and cash equivalents and Restricted cash were $4,322 million ($4,376 million at December 31, 2022) and $723 million ($753 million at December 31, 2022), respectively. Undrawn medium-term unsecured committed facilities were $5,945 million ($5,061 million at December 31, 2022) and other current financial assets were $— million ($300 million at December 31, 2022).

Reconciliation of Free Cash Flow The non-GAAP financial measures (Net Cash/(Debt) and Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities), as defined in the section “Non- GAAP Financial Measures" above, used in this section, should neither be considered as a substitute for, nor superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. The reconciliation of Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities to Net cash provided (used) by Operating Activities, the U.S. GAAP financial measure that we believe to be most directly comparable, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, is shown below: (in millions of dollars) Cash provided (used) by Operating Activities Less: Cash flow from Operating Activities of Financial Services, net of Eliminations Change in derivatives hedging debt of Industrial Activities Investments in operating lease assets of Industrial Activities Investments in property plant and equipment, and intangible assets of Industrial Activities Other changes (1) Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities 2023 2022 $ 907 $ 1,230 9 (30) (637) (263) 557 1,448 19 (21) (456) 49 $ 1,216 $ 1,596 (1) This item primarily includes change in financial receivables and capital increases in intersegment investments. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the generation of Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities was $1,216 million primarily due to the strong adjusted EBIT results of the segments, partially offset by working capital absorption, capital expenditures, cash interest and taxes. Industrial Activities Capital Markets At December 31, 2023, we had an aggregate amount of $9.2 billion in bonds outstanding, of which $4.0 billion was issued by Industrial Activities. 62 The capital markets debt of Industrial Activities mainly related to notes issued under the Euro Medium Term Note Programme (and the notes issued under its predecessor, the Global Medium Term Notes Programme), and senior unsecured debt securities issued by CNH Industrial N.V. described below. Euro Medium Term Note ("EMTN") Programme. We have a medium-term note programme allowing for the placement of debt securities up to a total authorized amount of €10 billion ($11 billion). At December 31, 2023, €3,200 million ($3,537 million) was outstanding under the programme, all such debt having been issued by CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. and guaranteed by CNH Industrial N.V. CNH Industrial N.V. Senior Notes. In the United States, CNH Industrial N.V has issued notes from time to time. In 2016, CNH Industrial N.V. issued $600 million of notes at an interest rate of 4.50% due August 2023 (the “2023 Notes”) at an issue price of 100 percent of their principal amount, and, in 2017, CNH Industrial N.V. issued $500 million of notes at an interest rate of 3.850% due November 2027 (the “2027 Notes”) at an issue price of 99.384% of their principal amount. The 2023 Notes and the 2027 Notes are collectively referred to as the “CNH Industrial N.V. Senior Notes” On August 15, 2023, the Company paid off the 2023 Notes in cash on the scheduled due date by utilizing available liquid resources. 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, 2023, CNH was in compliance with the covenants of the notes issued under the EMTN (and its predecessor the Global Medium Term Notes Programme) and the CNH Industrial N.V. Senior Notes. CNH Industrial intends to repay the issued bonds in cash at the due date by utilizing available liquid resources. In addition, CNH Industrial may from time to time repurchase or enforce the available call options of issued bonds. Such repurchases, 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, 2023, Industrial Activities available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $5.4 billion ($4.5 billion at December 31, 2022). 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 exercised the first of the two extension options as of February 28, 2020 and the second extension option as of February 26, 2021. The facility is now due to mature in March 2026 for €3,950.5 million; €49.5 million within the facility will mature in March 2025. The credit facility replaced a five-year €1.75 billion credit facility scheduled to mature in 2021 and includes: • • • • customary covenants (including a negative pledge, a status (or pari passu) covenant and restrictions on the incurrence of indebtedness by certain subsidiaries); customary events of default (some of which are subject to minimum thresholds and customary mitigants), including cross-default provisions, failure to pay amounts due or to comply with certain provisions under the loan agreement and the occurrence of certain bankruptcy-related events; and: mandatory prepayment obligations upon a change in control of CNH or the borrower; a financial covenant (Net debt/EBITDA ratio relating to Industrial Activities) (this covenant is not applicable given the current ratings levels). CNH Industrial N.V. has guaranteed any borrowings under the revolving credit facility with cross-guarantees from each of the borrowers (i.e., CNH Industrial Finance S.p.A., CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. and CNH Industrial Finance North America Inc.). At December 31, 2023, CNH was in compliance with the covenants of the Revolving Credit Facility. CNH entered into an 18-month committed unsecured credit facility on December 19, 2023, was undrawn at December 31, 2023 and was fully drawn on January 12, 2024. 63 Financial Services Total debt of Financial Services was $23.9 billion at December 31, 2023, compared to $19.1 billion at December 31, 2022. Asset-Backed Financing At December 31, 2023, Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $3.7 billion ($2.9 billion at December 31, 2022), of which $3.7 billion was utilized at December 31, 2023 ($2.1 billion at December 31, 2022). We sell certain of our financial receivables to third parties in order to improve liquidity, to take advantage of market opportunities and, in certain circumstances, to reduce credit and concentration risk in accordance with our risk management objectives. The sale of financial receivables is executed primarily through ABS transactions and involves retail notes and wholesale receivables originated to our Financial Services subsidiaries from end-use customers and dealers, respectively. At December 31, 2023, our receivables from financing activities included receivables sold and financed through both ABS and factoring transactions of $14.1 billion ($12.6 billion at December 31, 2022), which do not meet derecognition requirements and therefore are recorded on our consolidated statement of financial position. These receivables are recognized as such in our financial statements even though they have been legally sold; a corresponding financial liability is recorded in the consolidated statement of financial position as debt (see "Note 4: Receivables"). Repurchase Agreement In September 2023, CNH Industrial Capital LLC entered into a Global Master Repurchase Agreement which expires in September 2024. At December 31, 2023, the Company had CAD 299.9 million ($226.3 million) outstanding under the repurchase agreement, with an obligation to repurchase the underlying receivables in 30 days. The repurchase agreement is treated as a financing arrangement for accounting purposes.

Bank Debt At December 31, 2023, Financial Services' available committed, unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $0.5 billion ($0.6 billion at December 31, 2022). Commercial Paper Programs CNH Industrial Capital LLC outstanding commercial paper totaled $351 million as of December 31, 2023 ($299 million outstanding at December 31, 2022). Banco CNH Industrial S.A. outstanding commercial paper totaled $488 million as of December 31, 2023 ($209 million outstanding at December 31, 2022). Support Agreement in the Interest of CNH Industrial Capital LLC CNH Industrial Capital LLC benefits from a support agreement issued by CNH Industrial N.V., pursuant to which CNH Industrial N.V. agrees to, among other things, (a) make cash capital contributions to CNH Industrial Capital LLC, to the extent necessary to cause its ratio of net earnings available for fixed charges to fixed charges to be not less than 1.05:1.0 for each fiscal quarter (with such ratio determined, on a consolidated basis and in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for such fiscal quarter and the immediately preceding three fiscal quarters taken as a whole), (b) generally maintain an ownership of at least 51% of the voting equity interests in CNH Industrial Capital LLC and (c) cause CNH Industrial Capital LLC to have, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, a consolidated tangible net worth of at least $50 million. The support agreement is not intended to be, and is not, a guarantee by CNH Industrial N.V. of the indebtedness or other obligations of CNH Industrial Capital LLC. The obligations of CNH Industrial N.V. to CNH Industrial Capital LLC pursuant to this support agreement are to the company only and do not run to, and are not enforceable directly by, any creditor of CNH Industrial Capital LLC, including holders of the CNH Industrial Capital LLC’s notes or the trustee under the indenture governing the notes. The support agreement may be modified, amended or terminated, at CNH Industrial N.V.’s election, upon thirty days’ prior written notice to CNH Industrial Capital LLC and the rating agencies of CNH Industrial Capital LLC, if (a) the modification, amendment or termination would not result in a downgrade of CNH Industrial Capital LLC rated indebtedness; (b) the modification, amendment or notice of termination provides that the support agreement will continue in effect with respect to the company’s rated indebtedness then outstanding; or (c) CNH Industrial Capital LLC has no long-term rated indebtedness outstanding. For more information on our outstanding indebtedness, see “Note 10: Debt” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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, 2023, we had available committed, unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months of $5.9 billion ($5.1 billion at December 31, 2022). 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, 2023, Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $3.7 billion ($2.9 billion at December 31, 2022), of which $3.7 billion was utilized at December 31, 2023 ($2.1 billion at December 31, 2022). 65 If Financial Services were unable to obtain ABS funding at competitive rates and at the same time were unable to access other sources of finding at similar conditions, its ability to conduct its financial services activities would be limited. Pension and Other Post-employment Benefits Pension Plans Pension plan obligations primarily comprise the obligations of our pension plans in the United States, the U.K. and Germany. Under these plans, contributions are made to a separate fund (trust) which independently administers the plan assets. Our funding policy is to contribute amounts to the plan equal to the amounts required to satisfy the minimum funding requirements pursuant to the laws of the applicable jurisdictions. The significant pension plans that we are required to fund are in the United States and the U.K. In addition, we make discretionary contributions in addition to the funding requirements. To the extent that a fund is overfunded, we are not required to make further contributions to the plan in respect of minimum performance requirements so long as the fund is in surplus. The investment strategy for the plan assets depends on the features of the plan and on the maturity of the obligations. Typically, less mature plan benefit obligations are funded by using more equity securities as they are expected to achieve long-term growth exceeding inflation. More mature plan benefit obligations are funded using more fixed income securities as they are expected to produce current income with limited volatility. Risk management practices include the use of multiple asset classes and investment managers within each asset class for diversification purposes. Specific guidelines for each asset class and investment manager are implemented and monitored. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the difference between the present value of the pension plan obligations and the fair value of the related plan assets was a deficit of $225 million and $196 million, respectively. In 2023, we contributed $41 million to the plan assets and made direct benefit payments of $12 million for our pension plans. Our expected total contribution to pension plan assets and direct benefit payments is estimated to be $46 million for 2024. Healthcare Plans Healthcare postretirement benefit plan obligations comprise obligations for healthcare and insurance plans granted to our employees working in the United States and Canada. These plans generally cover employees retiring on or after reaching the age of 55 who have completed at least 10 years of employment. United States salaried and non-represented hourly employees and Canadian employees hired after January 1, 2001 and January 1, 2002, respectively, are not eligible for postretirement healthcare and life insurance benefits under our plans. These plans are not required to be funded. Beginning in 2007, we made contributions on a voluntary basis to a separate and independently managed fund established to finance the North America healthcare plans. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the difference between the present value of the healthcare plan obligations and the fair value of the related plan assets was a deficit of $121 million and $123 million, respectively. In 2023, we did not contribute to the plan assets and made direct benefit payments for healthcare plans of $19 million and we expect to make direct benefit payments of $16 million in 2024. Other Postemployment Benefits Other postemployment benefits consist of benefits for Italian Employee Leaving Entitlements up to December 31, 2006, loyalty bonus in Italy and various other similar plans in France, Germany and Belgium. Until December 31, 2006, Italian companies with more than 50 employees were required to accrue for benefits paid to employees upon them leaving the company. The scheme has since changed to a defined contribution plan. The obligation on our consolidated balance sheet represents the residual reserve for years until December 31, 2006. Loyalty bonuses are accrued for employees who have reached certain service seniority and are generally settled when employees leave the company. These plans are not required to be funded and, therefore, have no plan assets. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the present value of the obligation for other postemployment benefits amounted to $100 million and $89 million, respectively. In 2023, we made direct benefit payments of $7 million for other postemployment benefits and expect to make direct benefit payments of $9 million in 2024. For further information on pension and other postemployment benefits, see “Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. 66 Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements We use certain off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated third parties in the ordinary course of business, including financial guarantees. Our arrangements are described in more detail below. For additional information, see “Note 14: Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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 provided guarantees on the debt or commitments of third parties and performance guarantees in the interest of non-consolidated affiliates totaling $37 million as of December 31, 2023. Tabular Disclosure of Contractual Obligations The following table sets forth our contractual obligations and commercial commitments with definitive payment terms that will require significant cash outlays in the future, as of December 31, 2023: (in millions of dollars) Contractual Obligations(1) Debt obligations(2) Bonds Borrowings from banks Asset-backed financing Other debt Operating lease obligations Purchase obligations Total Total Less than 1 Year 1-3 Years 3-5 Years After 5 Years $ 9,156 $ 1,903 $ 4,292 $ 1,839 $ 1,122 4,289 2,343 733 623 590 11,716 5,790 4,660 1,198 2,165 1,441 469 121 255 71 86 207 — — 351 207 68 — 73 — $ 27,884 $ 11,770 $ 10,275 $ 3,986 $ 1,853 (1) Reserves for uncertain tax positions are not included within this table as the timing and ultimate uncertainty of settlement with the relevant taxing authorities is not known. (2) Amounts presented exclude the related interest expense that will be paid when due. The table above does not include obligations for pensions, post-retirement benefits and health care plans. Our best estimate of expected contributions including direct benefit payment to be made by us in 2024 to pension plans, healthcare plans and other post- employment plans is $46 million, $16 million and $9 million, respectively. Potential outflows in the years after 2022 are subject to a number of uncertainties, including future asset performance and changes in assumptions, and therefore we are unable to make sufficiently reliable estimates of future contributions beyond 2023. Debt Obligations For information on our debt obligations, see “Capital Resources” above and “Note 10: Debt” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The amount reported as debt obligations in the table above consists of our bonds, borrowings from banks, asset-backed financing and other debt which reconciles in total to the amount in the December 31, 2023 consolidated balance sheet. Operating Lease Obligations Our operating leases consist mainly of leases for commercial and industrial properties used in carrying out our businesses. The amounts reported above under “Operating Lease Obligations” include the minimal rental and payment commitments due under such leases. 67 Purchase Obligations Our purchase obligations at December 31, 2023, included the following: • commitments to purchase tangible fixed assets, largely in connection with planned capital expenditures, in an aggregate amount of approximately $207 million. Critical Accounting Estimates The financial statements included in this Annual Report and related disclosures have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The estimates and related assumptions are based on available information at the date of preparation of the financial statements, historical experience and other relevant factors. Actual results may differ from the estimates. Particularly in light of the current economic uncertainty, developments may occur which may differ from our estimates and assumptions, and therefore might require significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of certain items, which as of the date of this Annual Report cannot be accurately estimated or predicted. The principal items affected by estimates are the allowances for credit losses receivable and inventories, long-lived assets (tangible and intangible assets), the residual values of equipment leased out under operating lease arrangements, sales allowances, product warranties, pension and other postemployment 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 we have made in the process of applying our accounting policies and that may have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report or that represent a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses is our estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the trade receivables and financing receivables owned by us. Retail customer receivables primarily include retail notes and finance leases to end use customers and revolving charge accounts, which represent financing for customers to purchase parts, service, rentals, implements and attachments from CNH dealers. Wholesale receivables include dealer floorplan financing, and to a lesser extent, the financing of dealer operations. Typically, our receivables within a geographic area have similar risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring risk. Retail receivables that share the same risk characteristics such as, collateralization levels, geography, product type and other relevant factors are reviewed on a collective basis using measurement models and management judgment. The allowance for retail credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation is adjusted for forward-looking macroeconomic factors, such as GDP and Net Farm Income. The forward-looking macroeconomic factors are updated quarterly. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment. Trade and wholesale receivables that share the same risk characteristics such as, collateralization levels, term, geography and other relevant factors are reviewed on a collective basis using measurement models and management judgment. The allowance for trade and wholesale credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation is adjusted for forward-looking macroeconomic factors, such as industry sales volumes. The forward-looking macroeconomic factors are updated quarterly. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment. Retail, trade and wholesale receivables that do not have similar risk characteristics are individually reviewed based on, among other items, amounts outstanding, days past due and prior collection history. Expected credit losses are measured by considering: the probability-weighted estimates of cash flows and collateral value; the time value of money; current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls (including the value of the collateral, if appropriate) over the expected life of each financial asset. 68 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. When delinquency reaches 120 days, revolving change accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and charged off to the allowance for credit losses. The total allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2023 and 2023 was $363 million and $334 million, respectively. Management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses takes into consideration historical loss experience, known and inherent risks in the portfolio, adverse situations that may affect the borrower’s ability to repay, estimated value of underlying collateral and current and future economic conditions. While management believes it has exercised prudent judgment and applied reasonable assumptions, there can be no assurance that, in the future, changes in economic conditions or other factors will not cause changes in the financial condition of our customers. If the financial condition of some of our customers deteriorates, the timing and level of payments received could be impacted and, therefore, could result in an increase in losses on the current portfolio. The assumptions used in evaluating the Company’s exposure to credit losses involve estimates and significant judgment. While the company believes its allowance is sufficient to provide for losses over the life of its existing receivable portfolio, different assumptions or changes in economic conditions would result in changes to the allowance for credit losses. Historically, changes in economic conditions have had limited impact on credit losses within the company’s wholesale receivable portfolio. Within the retail customer receivables portfolio, credit loss estimates are dependent on a number of factors, including historical portfolio performance, current delinquency levels, and estimated recoveries on defaulted accounts. A hypothetical 10% increase in the quantitative loss rates would have resulted in an approximately $13 million increase to the allowance for credit losses at December 31, 2023. Allowance for Obsolete and Slow-moving Inventory The allowance for obsolete and slow-moving inventory reflects our estimate of the expected loss in value, and has been determined on the basis of past experience and historical and expected future trends in the used equipment market. A worsening of the economic and financial situation could cause a further deterioration in conditions in the used equipment market compared to that taken into consideration in calculating the allowances recognized in the financial statements. Recoverability of Long-lived Assets (including Goodwill) Long-lived assets include property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangible assets such as patents and trademarks. We evaluate the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and finite-lived other intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. We assess the recoverability of property, plant and equipment and finite-lived other intangible assets by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable in full on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. We have identified three reporting units for the purpose of goodwill impairment testing: Agriculture, Construction, and Financial Services. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Under the goodwill impairment test, CNH’s estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. CNH has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. Goodwill and indefinite-lived other intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually. In 2021, 2022 and 2023, we performed our annual impairment review as of December 31 and concluded that there was no impairment. We evaluate events and changes in circumstances to determine if additional testing may be required. For all reporting units, a 10% decrease in the estimated fair value would have had no effect on the carrying value of goodwill at the annual measurement date in 2023. Residual Values of Assets Leased Out Under Operating Lease Arrangements We purchase equipment from our dealers and lease such equipment to retail customers under operating leases. Income from these operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease. Our decision on whether or not to offer lease financing to customers is based, in part, upon estimated residual values of the leased equipment, which are estimated at the lease inception date and periodically updated. Realization of the residual values, a component in the profitability of a lease transaction, is dependent on our ability to market the equipment at least termination under the then prevailing market conditions. Equipment model changes and updates, as well as market strength and product acceptance, are monitored and adjustments are made to residual values in accordance with the significance of any such changes. Although realization is not assured, management believes that the estimated residual values are realizable. 69 Sales Allowances The company provides sales incentives and allowances to dealers. At the time a sale to a dealer is recognized, the company records an estimate of the future sales incentive costs as a reduction of revenue. These incentives may be based on a dealer’s purchase volume, or on retail sales incentive programs and financing programs that will be due when the dealer sells the equipment to a retail customer. The estimated cost of these programs is based on historical data, announced and expected incentive programs, field inventory levels. The final cost of these programs is determined at the end of the measurement period for volume-based incentives or when the dealer sells the equipment to the retail customer. Changes in the mix and types of programs affect these estimates, which are reviewed quarterly. Actual cost differences from the original cost estimate are recognized in “Net sales”. The total accruals recorded were $2,409 million, $1,556 million and $1,325 million in “Other liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The increase in each of 2023 and 2022 were targeted initiatives to drive higher retail demand. Product Warranties For most equipment and service parts sales, the company provides a standard warranty to provide assurance that the equipment will function as intended for a specified period of time. At the time a sale is recognized, the company records the estimated future warranty costs. The company determines its total warranty liability by applying historical claims rate experience to the estimated amount of equipment that has been sold to end-users and is still under warranty based on dealer inventories and retail sales. Variances in claims experience and the type of warranty programs affect these estimates, which are reviewed quarterly. The product warranty accruals at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were $610 million, $544 million and $526 million, respectively. The increase in each of 2023 and 2022 related to higher sales volume. Estimates used to determine the product warranty accruals are based on historical claims rate leveraging the last rolling 12 months and consideration of current quality developments. Pension and Other Postemployment Benefits As more fully described in “Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits” to our consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, we sponsor pension, healthcare and other postemployment plans in various countries. We actuarially determine the costs and obligations relating to such plans using several statistical and judgmental factors. These assumptions include discount rates, rates for expected returns on plan assets, rates for compensation increases, mortality rates, retirement rates, and healthcare cost trend rates, as determined by us within certain guidelines. To the extent actual experiences differ from our assumptions or our assumptions change, we may experience gains and losses that we have not yet recognized in our consolidated statements of operations but would be recognized in equity. For our pension and postemployment benefit plans, we recognize net gain or loss as a component of defined benefit plan cost for the year if, as of the beginning of the year, such unrecognized net gain or loss exceeds 10% of the greater of (1) the projected benefit obligation or (2) the fair market value of the plan assets at year end. In such case, the amount of amortization we recognize is the resulting excess divided by the average remaining service period of active employees, and by the average life expectancy for inactive employees expected to receive benefits under the plan. CNH reviews annually the mortality assumptions and demographic characteristics of its U.S. pension and healthcare plans participants. Subsequent to the Benefits Modification to the US Healthcare plan on April 16, 2018, the Company decided to change the base mortality table for the US Healthcare plan from the variants of blue-collar tables of RPH-2014 (with MP-2014 removed) to a no-collar variant. In addition, in 2018, CNH adopted the MP-2018 mortality improvement scale, which better reflected the actual recent experience over the previous mortality improvement scales. In 2021, the Company adopted the updated mortality improvement scale issued by the SOA ("MP-2021"). The adoption of the new mortality assumptions resulted in a total increase of $1.3 million to the Company’s benefit obligations at December 31, 2021, of which $0.5 million and $0.8 million were related to pension plans and healthcare plans, respectively. 70 The following table includes the effects of a one percentage-point change in our primary actuarial assumptions on pension, healthcare and other postemployment benefit obligations and expense: (in millions of dollars) Pension benefits: Assumed discount rate Expected long-term rate of return on plan assets Healthcare benefits: Assumed discount rate Assumed health care cost trend rate (initial and ultimate) Other benefits: Assumed discount rate Realization of Deferred Tax Assets Year End Benefit Cost Year End Benefit Obligation One Percentage-Point Increase One Percentage-Point Decrease One Percentage-Point Increase One Percentage-Point Decrease $ $ $ $ $ (5) $ (10) $ 1 $ — $ 5 $ 10 $ — $ — $ (127) $ — $ (8) $ 8 $ — $ — $ (8) $ 154 — 9 (7) 9 At December 31, 2023, we had a net deferred tax asset on temporary differences, including tax attributes, of $1.6 billion, of which $0.2 billion are not recognized in the financial statements. The corresponding totals at December 31, 2022, were $1.0 billion and $0.3 billion, respectively. We have recognized deferred tax assets we believe are more likely than not to be realized. The determination to record a valuation allowance requires significant judgement and is based on an assessment of positive and negative evidence, whereby objectively verifiable evidence takes precedence over other forms of evidence. In our assessments, we consider actual and forecasted results, the potential to carryback net operating losses and credits, the future reversal of certain taxable temporary differences, and tax planning strategies. We also consider risk factors, including, but not limited to, the economic conditions in the countries and, in some cases, regions in which we have significant operations as those conditions would generally impact our ability to generate taxable income in specific jurisdictions. During the fourth quarter of 2023, we recognized a significant portion of the deferred tax assets related to our operations in the UK, resulting in a $99 million non-cash tax benefit, as those operations had consistently returned to pre-tax profitability, with that trend anticipated to continue for the foreseeable future. During the fourth quarter of 2022, we recognized substantially all the deferred tax assets related to our agricultural and construction equipment operations in Italy, resulting in a $55 million non-cash tax benefit, as those operations had consistently returned to pre-tax profitability, with that trend anticipated to continue for the foreseeable future. Contingent Liabilities We are the subject of legal and indirect tax proceedings covering a range of matters, which are pending in various jurisdictions. Due to the uncertainty inherent in such matters, it is difficult to predict the final outcome of such matters. The cases and claims against us often raise difficult and complex factual and legal issues, which are subject to many uncertainties, including but not limited to the facts and circumstances of each particular case and claim, the jurisdiction and the differences in applicable law. In the normal course of business, we consult with legal counsel and other experts on matters related to litigation, taxes and other similar contingent liabilities. We accrue a liability when it is determined that an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. In the event an adverse outcome is probable, but an estimate is not determinable or is possible, the matter is disclosed.

Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of CNH Industrial N.V. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, cash flows, and changes in equity, for the period ended December 31, 2023, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, based on criteria established in Internal Control — Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated February 29, 2024, expressed an adverse opinion on the Company's internal control over financial reporting because of a material weakness. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matter The critical audit matter communicated below is a matter arising from the current-period audit of the financial statements that was communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (1) relates to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matter below, providing a separate opinion on the critical audit matter or on the accounts or disclosures to which it relates. 73 Revenue – Timing of Revenue Recognition — Industrial Activities — Refer to Notes 2 and 3 to the financial statements Critical Audit Matter Description The Company recognizes revenue when control of the equipment, services or parts has been transferred, and the Company’s performance obligations to the customers (e.g. dealers) have been satisfied. Transfer of control occurs when title and risk of ownership have transferred to the customer, which occurs based upon the terms specified in the agreement. In most of the jurisdictions where the Company operates, and subject to specific exceptions, transfer of control, and thus revenue recognition, occurs upon shipment. We identified the timing of revenue recognition specific to Industrial Activities as a critical audit matter due to the extent of additional audit effort required to evaluate whether the timing of revenue recognition was appropriate. This required both extensive audit effort due to the volume of transactions at year-end and a high degree of auditor judgment, especially pertaining to the evaluation of management's identification of when transfer of control has occurred. How the Critical Audit Matter Was Addressed in the Audit Our audit procedures related to evaluating the timing of revenue recognition for Industrial Activities included the following, among others: • We tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the timing of revenue recognition and the identification of when transfer of control occurred. • On a selection basis, we performed the following procedures: ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ ◦ Tested the completeness and accuracy of revenue transactions recorded for a period of time prior to and subsequent to year-end. Obtained the terms in certain dealer agreements by region and evaluated the appropriateness of management’s application of their accounting policies in the determination of revenue recognition conclusions based on the dealer terms. Agreed the evidence of shipment to support the timing of revenue recognized. Confirmed certain dealer inventory balances as of year-end. Obtained the Company's external legal analysis related to dealer agreements for certain regions to validate the performance obligation within the respective dealer agreements. • With the assistance of professionals in our firm with expertise related to the accounting for revenue, we evaluated management’s analysis of certain revenue recognition practices and the timing of revenue recognition related to such practices. /s/ Deloitte & Touche LLP Chicago, Illinois February 29, 2024 We have served as the Company's auditor since 2023. 74 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Shareholders and the Board of Directors of CNH Industrial N.V.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Note 1: Presentation CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNH” or the “Company”) is incorporated in, and under the laws of, the Netherlands. CNH is a leading company in the capital goods sector that, through its various businesses, designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment and construction equipment. In addition, CNH’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 and other manufacturers’ products and other retail financing programs and wholesale financing to dealers. Subsequent to December 31, 2021, the Company had three reportable segments consisting of: (i) Agriculture, which designs, produces and sells agricultural equipment (ii) Construction, which designs, produces and sells construction equipment and (iii) Financial Services, which provides financial services to the customers of the Company’s products. The Company’s worldwide agricultural equipment and construction equipment segments as well as corporate functions are collectively referred to as “Industrial Activities”. The Company was formed as a result of the mergers of Fiat Industrial S.p.A. and its subsidiary CNH Global N.V. with and into CNH, effective September 29, 2013. Spin-off of On-Highway Business Until December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial N.V. owned and controlled the Commercial and Specialty Vehicles business, the Powertrain business, and the related Financial Services business (together the “Iveco Group Business” or the “On-Highway Business”), as well as the Agriculture business, the Construction business, and the related Financial Services business (collectively, the “Off-Highway Business”). Effective January 1, 2022, the Iveco Group Business was separated from CNH Industrial N.V. by way of a demerger under Dutch law (the "Demerger") to Iveco Group N.V. (the "Iveco Group"), and the Iveco Group became a public listed company independent from CNH with its common shares trading on the Euronext Milan, a regulated market organized and managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A. In connection with the Demerger, shares of Iveco Group N.V. were distributed to shareholders in CNH Industrial N.V. on a pro rata basis. The On-Highway Business' financial results for the periods prior to the Demerger have been reflected in our Consolidated Statement of Operations, retrospectively, as discontinued operations. In order to present the financial effects of a Discontinued Operation, revenues and expenses arising from intercompany transactions were eliminated. Eliminations from transactions between Continuing and Discontinued Operations are allocated in full to Discontinued Operations. However, no profit or loss is recognized for intercompany transactions within the Consolidated Statement of Operations. The amounts of income statement items included in Discontinued Operations is detailed in the following sections. Intercompany transactions between Continuing and Discontinued Operations have been eliminated in the consolidated statement of financial position. The net balance between Assets held for distribution and Liabilities held for distribution represents the net equity of the Discontinued Operations. This amount corresponds to the reduction in the total equity of CNH due to the Demerger that occurred on January 1, 2022. 83 Details of Statement of Operations line items included in Discontinued Operations, after the eliminations, for the year ended December 31, 2021 are as follows: 2021 $ (in millions of dollars) Revenues Net sales Finance, interest and other income Total Revenues Costs and Expenses Cost of goods sold Selling, general and administrative expenses Research and development expenses Restructuring expenses Interest expense Other, net Total Costs and Expenses Income (loss) before income taxes and equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates Income tax (expense) benefit Equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates Net Income (loss) from discontinued operations $ 14,743 194 14,937 12,765 989 594 39 129 380 14,896 41 (113) 31 (41) 84 All cash flows from Discontinued Operations are reported in the appropriate items for operating, investing and financing activities in the Statement of Cash Flows. The cash flows represent those arising from transactions with third parties. Cash flows from Discontinued Operations for the year ended December 31, 2021 are as follows: (in millions of dollars) Cash Flows from Operating Activities Net income (loss) of discontinued operations 2021 $ (41) Adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided (used) by operating activities: Depreciation and amortization expense excluding depreciation and amortization of assets under operating lease Depreciation and amortization expense of assets under operating lease (Gain) loss on disposal of assets Undistributed income of unconsolidated subsidiaries Other non-cash items Changes in operating assets and liabilities: Provisions Deferred income taxes Trade and financing receivables related to sales, net Inventories, net Trade payables Other assets and liabilities Cash flow from operating activities of discontinued operation Cash Flows from Investing Activities Additions to retail receivables Collections of retail receivables Proceeds from the sale of assets, net of assets under operating leases Expenditures for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets excluding assets under operating leases Expenditures for assets under operating leases Other Cash flow provided (used) by investing activities of discontinued operation Cash Flows from Financing Activities Proceeds from long-term debt Payments of long-term debt Net increase (decrease) in other financial liabilities Dividends paid Cash flow from financing activities of discontinued operation 316 296 (44) (13) 197 87 36 54 (216) 25 187 884 (42) 50 — (348) (763) 672 (431) 3,459 (3,602) 97 — (46) $ $ $ $ $ Note 2: Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation CNH has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include CNH Industrial N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars and, unless otherwise indicated, all financial data set forth in these consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNH’s subsidiaries in which CNH has a controlling financial interest, and reflect the noncontrolling interests of the minority owners of the subsidiaries that are not fully owned for the periods presented, as applicable. A controlling financial interest may exist based on ownership of a majority of the voting interest of an entity or based on CNH’s determination that it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing 85 basis, as prescribed by the accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIEs. The consolidated status of the VIEs with which the Company is involved may change as a result of such reassessments. Investments in unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates are accounted for using the equity method when CNH does not have a controlling interest but exercises significant influence. Under this method, the investment is initially recorded at cost and is increased or decreased by CNH’s proportionate share of the entity’s respective net income or loss. Dividends received from these entities reduce the carrying value of the investments. Business Combinations Business combinations are accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Under this method, the consideration transferred in a business combination is measured at fair value, which is calculated as the sum of the acquisition-date fair values of the assets transferred and liabilities assumed by the Company and the equity interests issued in exchange for control of the acquiree. Acquisition- related costs are generally recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Effective October 12, 2023, CNH closed on its purchase of Hemisphere, a global satellite navigation technology leader, for a total consideration of $181 million. The acquisition of Hemisphere consolidates our guidance and connectivity capabilities to advance CNH's in-house precision, automation and autonomy technology for the agriculture and construction industries. At December 31, 2023, CNH recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including $111 million and $51 million in preliminary goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not been finalized as of December 31, 2023. Thus, goodwill associated with the acquisition is subject to adjustment during the measurement period. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the Hemisphere acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Additionally, Hemisphere's post- acquisition results were not material. On March 15, 2023, CNH acquired a controlling interest in Bennamann (ownership interest of 50.0085%) by purchasing an additional 34.4% interest through cash consideration of approximately $51 million. At March 31, 2023, CNH recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including $118 million and $46 million in preliminary goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized as of December 31, 2023. Thus, goodwill associated with the acquisition is subject to adjustment during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments were made during the year reducing goodwill by $3 million, primarily offset by increases in intangible assets as a result of updates of certain of the valuations. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the Bennamann acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Additionally, Bennamann's post-acquisition results were not material. On March 13, 2023, CNH purchased Augmenta. The Company acquired the remaining 89.5% of Augmenta it did not own for cash consideration of approximately $80 million and a deferred payment of $10 million. At March 31, 2023, CNH recorded preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, including $76 million and $35 million in preliminary goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not yet been finalized as of December 31, 2023. Thus, goodwill associated with the acquisition is subject to adjustment during the measurement period. Measurement period adjustments were recorded during the year reducing goodwill by $14 million primarily offset by increases in intangible assets as a result of updates of certain of the valuations. Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of the Augmenta acquisition were not material to the Company’s consolidated results of operations. Additionally, Augmenta's post-acquisition results were not material. On May 16, 2022, CNH Industrial acquired Specialty Enterprises LLC, a manufacturer of agricultural spray booms and sprayer boom accessories. Total consideration was approximately $50 million. The results of Specialty Enterprises have been included in the Company’s Agriculture segment. On December 30, 2021, CNH Industrial completed its purchase of 90% capital stock of Sampierana S.p.A. ("Sampierana") for approximately $100 million. Sampierana is an Italian company specializing in the development, manufacture and commercialization of earthmoving machines, undercarriages and spare parts. In Q4 2022, the Company finalized the valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. Sampierana is included in the Company’s Construction segment. On November 30, 2021, CNH Industrial completed its acquisition of Raven Industries, Inc. CNH Industrial acquired 100% of the capital stock of Raven for $58 per share funded with available cash on hand. Cash consideration paid to Raven shareholders and Raven equity award holders totaled $2.1 billion. Raven, based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, included three business divisions: Applied Technology, Engineered Films and Aerostar. The Applied Technologies division offers precision agricultural technologies in the areas of applications controls, guidance and steering, field computers, boom controls, cloud services and logistics, and injection support. At December 31, 2021, the preliminary estimates for the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed of the Applied Technologies Division as of the acquisition date included $1.3 billion and $0.5 billion in preliminary goodwill and intangible assets, respectively. At December 31, 2021, the Engineered Films and Aerostar businesses were classified as held for sale with preliminary 86 estimates of $0.5 billion in assets held for sale (included in Other Assets) and $0.1 billion in liabilities held for sale (included in Other Liabilities). The Engineered Films and Aerostar businesses were subsequently sold during 2022. The acquisition of Raven has been accounted for as a business combination using the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires, among other things, that assets acquired and liabilities assumed in a business combination be recognized at their fair values as of the acquisition date. In Q4 2022, the Company finalized the valuation of acquired assets and assumed liabilities. The asset and liability fair values of the remaining Raven business, Applied Technology Division, at the acquisition date are as follows: Intangible Assets Customer Relationship In-Process R&D Developed Technology Trade Names Goodwill Deferred Tax Liability and Other November 30, 2021 (in millions) $ 145 165 50 74 1,404 (137) Use of Estimates in the Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include the realizable value of property, plant and equipment, goodwill and other intangibles; residual values of equipment on operating leases; allowance for credit losses; tax contingencies and valuation allowances; liabilities for warranties; sales allowances; and assets and obligations related to employee benefits. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized when control of the equipment, services or parts has been transferred and the Company’s performance obligations to the customers have been satisfied. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company is entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. The timing of when the Company transfers the goods or services to the customer may differ from the timing of the customer’s payment. Revenues are stated net of discounts, allowances, settlement discounts and rebates, as well as costs for sales incentive programs, which are determined on the basis of historical costs, country by country, and charged against profit for the period in which the corresponding sales are recognized. The Company also enters into contracts with multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company allocates revenue from the transaction price to the distinct goods and services in the contract on a relative standalone selling price basis. To the extent the Company sells the goods or services separately in the same market, the standalone selling price is the observable price at which the Company sells the goods or services separately. For all other goods or services, the Company estimates the standalone selling price considering all information reasonably available (including market conditions, entity-specific factors and information about the customer or class of customer). Sales of goods The Company has determined that the customers from the sale of equipment and parts are dealers, distributors, public entities and retail customers. The Company recognizes revenue at a point in time when control has transferred to the customer at a sales price that the Company is entitled to receive. In most of the jurisdictions where the Company operates, and subject to specific exceptions, transfer of control occurs upon shipment. We have elected to recognize at the time of sale costs for shipping and handling activities that occur after control has transferred. These expenses are presented in Cost of Goods Sold. For all sales, no uncertainty exists surrounding the purchaser’s obligation to pay for equipment and parts. Fixed payment schedules exist for all sales, but payment terms vary by geographic market and product line. See Note 4: Receivables for information about financing payment terms. The Company records an appropriate allowance for credit losses. 87 The cost of incentives, if any, are estimated at the inception of a contract at the amount that is expected to be paid and is recognized as a reduction to revenue at the time of the sale. If an equipment contract transaction has multiple performance obligations, the cost of incentives is allocated entirely to the equipment. 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 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 records the estimated impact of sales allowances in the form of dealer and customer incentives as a reduction of revenue. Subsequent adjustments to sales incentive programs related to products previously sold are recognized as an adjustment to revenues in the period the adjustment is determinable. The determination of sales allowances requires management to make estimates based upon historical data, estimated future market demand for products, field inventory levels, announced incentive programs, competitive pricing and interest rates, among other things. With reference to the sales to dealers accompanied by “floor plan” agreements under which the Company offers wholesale financing including “interest-free” financing for specified period of time (which also vary by geographic market and product line; see Note 4: Receivables for further information), two separate performance obligations exist. The first performance obligation consists of the sale of the equipment from Industrial Activities to the dealer. Concurrent with the sale of the equipment, Industrial Activities offers to the dealer wholesale financing through loans extended by Financial Services. Industrial Activities compensates Financial Services for the cost of the interest-free period. This cost has been determined to represent a cash sale incentive on the initial sale of the good, and therefore it is recognized upfront as a reduction of net sales of Industrial Activities. The second performance obligation consists of a credit facility extended by Financial Services to the dealer. The remuneration for this performance obligation is represented by the compensation received from Industrial Activities for the period of the interest-free financing and by the interest charged to dealer for the remaining period. This remuneration is recognized by Financial Services over the period of the outstanding exposure. For parts sales, when the Company provides its customers with a right to return a transferred product, revenue and corresponding cost of sales are recognized for parts that are not expected to be returned. The expected returns are estimated based on an analysis of historical experience. The portion of revenue (and corresponding cost of sales) related to the parts that are expected to be returned is recognized at the end of the return period. The amount received or receivable that is expected to be returned is recognized as a refund liability, representing the obligation to return the customer’s consideration. Furthermore, at the time of the initial sale, CNH 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 receives consideration before the performance is satisfied are recognized as contract liability. These services are either separately-priced or included in the selling price of the equipment. In the second case, revenue for the services is allocated based on the estimated stand-alone selling price. In the event that the costs expected to be incurred to satisfy the remaining performance obligations exceed the transaction price, an estimated contract loss is recognized. Finance and interest income Finance and interest income on receivables is recorded using the effective yield method. Deferred costs on the origination of financing receivables are recognized as a reduction in finance revenue over the expected lives of the receivables using the effective yield method. Recognition of income on loans is suspended when management determines that collection of future income is not probable or when an account becomes 90 days past due, whichever occurs earlier. Income accrual is resumed when and if the receivable becomes contractually current and collection becomes probable. Previously suspended income is recognized at that time. The Company applies cash received on nonaccrual financing receivables to first reduce any unrecognized interest and then the recorded investment and any other fees. Rents and other income on operating leases Income from operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease on a straight-line basis. 88 Sales Allowances CNH grants certain sales incentives to support sales of its products to retail customers. The expense for such incentive programs is recorded as a deduction in arriving at the net sales amount at the time of the sale of the product to the dealer. The expense for new programs is accrued at the inception of the program. The amounts of incentives to be paid are estimated based upon historical data, estimated future market demand for products, field inventory levels, announced incentive programs, competitive pricing and interest rates, among other things. Warranty Costs At the time a sale of equipment or parts is recognized, CNH records the estimated future base warranty costs for the product. CNH determines its total warranty liability by applying historical claims rate experience, while considering specific contractual terms, to the part of equipment that has been sold and is still under warranty. Campaigns are formal post-production modification programs approved by management. The liabilities for such programs are recognized when approved, based on an estimate of the total cost of the program. Advertising CNH expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising expenses totaled $148 million, $152 million and $110 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Research and Development Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. Borrowing Costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, which are assets that necessarily take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the class of assets to which they refer. All other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred. Government Grants Government grants are recognized in the financial statements when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions for receiving such grants and that the grants themselves will be received. Government grants are recognized as income over the periods necessary to match them with the related costs which they are intended to offset. The benefit of a government loan at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant. The benefit of the below-market rate of interest is measured as the difference between the initial carrying amount of the loan (fair value plus transaction costs) and the proceeds received and is accounted for in accordance with the policies already used for the recognition of government grants. Foreign Currency Certain of CNH’s non-U.S. subsidiaries and affiliates maintain their books and accounting records using local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at period-end exchange rates, and net exchange gains or losses resulting from such translation are included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Income and expense accounts of these non-U.S. subsidiaries are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in net income in the period during which they arise. Net foreign currency transaction gains and losses are reflected in “Other, net” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations and also include the cost of hedging instruments. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 the Company recorded net gain of $10 million and net loss $185 million, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021 the Company recorded a net loss of $135 million. Included in the net losses in 2021 were charges of $47 million (inclusive of impact of discontinued operations) due to the devaluation of net monetary assets of Argentinian subsidiaries. There was no impact in 2023 and 2022 as the functional currency of the Argentinian subsidiary was changed to the US Dollar. As described in Note 15: Financial Instruments, the Company uses hedging instruments to mitigate foreign currency risk. Net of gains realized on foreign currency hedging instruments, the Company recorded losses of $119 million, $80 million and $6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. 89 Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less. The carrying value of cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these investments. Restricted Cash Restricted cash includes principal and interest payments from retail notes and wholesale receivables owned by the consolidated VIEs that are payable to the VIEs’ investors, and cash pledged as a credit enhancement to the same investors. These amounts are held by depository banks in order to comply with contractual agreements. Restricted cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with an original maturity of one month or less. Cash Flow Information All cash flows from the changes in trade accounts and notes receivable are classified as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows as these receivables arise from sales to CNH’s customers. Cash flows from financing receivables that are related to sales to CNH’s dealers are also included in operating activities. CNH’s financing of receivables related to equipment sold by dealers is included in investing activities. CNH paid interest of $1,091 million, $718 million and $539 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. For 2023, 2022 and 2021, the amount includes a charge of $— million, $— million and $8 million, respectively, in connection with the Company’s accelerated debt redemption strategy. CNH paid taxes of $802 million, $717 million and $348 million in 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. In 2023, Other non-cash items of $173 million primarily included share-based payments of $99 million and writedowns of financial assets of $80 million. In 2022, Other non-cash items of $196 million primarily included share-based payments of $87 million and writedowns of financial assets of $77 million. In 2021, Other non-cash items of $126 million primarily included share-based payments of $90 million and writedowns of financial assets of $34 million. In 2023, Investing Activities - Other included cash paid for business acquisitions of $312 million. In 2022, Investing Activities - Other primarily consisted of change in intersegment receivable/payable (including with Iveco Group) less proceeds from the sale of the Raven EFD and Aerostar divisions and sale of certain real estate. In 2021, Investing Activities - Other included cash paid for the acquisition of Raven Industries Inc of $2.1 billion. Receivables Receivables are recorded at amortized cost, net of allowances for credit losses and deferred fees and costs. Periodically, the Company sells or transfers retail notes and wholesale receivables to funding facilities or in securitization transactions. In accordance with the accounting guidance regarding transfers of financial assets and the consolidation of VIEs, the majority of the retail notes and wholesale receivables sold in securitizations do not qualify as sales and are recorded as secured borrowings with no gains or losses recognized at the time of securitization. Receivables associated with these securitization transactions and receivables that the Company has the ability and intent to hold for the foreseeable future are classified as held for investment. The substantial majority of the Company’s receivables, which include unrestricted receivables and restricted receivables for securitization investors, are classified as held for investment. Allowance for Credit Losses The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s estimate of the lifetime expected credit losses inherent in the trade receivables and financing receivables owned by the Company. Retail receivables primarily include retail notes and finance leases to end use customers and revolving charge accounts, which represent financing for customers to purchase parts, service, rentals, implements and attachments from CNH dealers. Wholesale receivables include dealer floorplan financing, and to a lesser extent, the financing of dealer operations. Typically, our receivables within a geographic area have similar risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring risk. Retail customer receivables that share the same risk characteristics such as, collateralization levels, geography, product type and other relevant factors are reviewed on a collective basis using measurement models and management judgment. The allowance for retail credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The 90 calculation is adjusted for forward looking macroeconomic factors, such as GDP and Net Farm Income. The forward-looking macroeconomic factors are updated quarterly. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment. Trade and wholesale receivables that share the same risk characteristics such as, collateralization levels, term, geography and other relevant factors are reviewed on a collective basis using measurement models and management judgment. The allowance for trade and wholesale credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. The calculation is adjusted for forward-looking macroeconomic factors, such as industry sales volumes. The forward-looking macroeconomic factors are updated quarterly. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment. Retail, trade and wholesale receivables that do not have similar risk characteristics are individually reviewed based on, among other items, amounts outstanding, days past due and prior collection history. Expected credit losses are measured by considering: the probability-weighted estimates of cash flows and collateral value; the time value of money; current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions. Expected credit losses are measured as the probability-weighted present value of all cash shortfalls (including the value of the collateral, if appropriate) over the expected life of each financial asset. Charge-offs of principal amounts of receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance at the point when it is estimated that amounts due are deemed uncollectible. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and charged off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined by the first-in, first-out method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-progress includes the cost of raw materials, other direct costs and production overheads. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Assets held under finance leases, for which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are recognized as assets of the Company at the lower of fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments. The corresponding liability to the lessor is included in the financial statements as debt. Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets as follows: Category Buildings and improvements Plant, machinery and equipment Other equipment Lives 10 - 40 years 5 - 25 years 3 - 10 years The following paragraph presents the Company’s policy for leases for which it is a lessee. Lease policy A lease is a contract that conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset (the leased asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The lease term determined by the Company comprises the non-cancellable period of lease contract together with both periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the lessee is reasonably certain not to exercise that option. For real estate leases, this assessment is based on an analysis by management of all relevant facts and circumstances including the leased asset’s purpose, the economic and practical potential for replacing and any plans that the Company has in place for the future use of the asset. For lease agreements, we combine lease and non-lease components. For leases with terms not exceeding twelve months (short-term leases), the Company recognizes the lease payments associated with those leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term as operating expense in the income statement. For all other leases, the right-of-use asset includes the amount of lease liability recognized, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Correspondingly, the Company recognizes a lease liability, measured at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company's incremental borrowing rate. The incremental 91 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’s credit spread. The Company primarily uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate for its lease liabilities. For finance leases, the right-of-use asset is classified within Property, plant and equipment, net and the lease liability, within Debt. Assets held under finance leases, which the Company assumes substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, are recognized as assets of the Company at the lower of fair value or present value of the minimum lease payments. In case of operating leases, the right-of-use asset is classified within Other assets and the lease liability, within Other liabilities. After the commencement date, the Company recognizes in profit or loss a single lease cost, calculated so that the remaining cost of the lease is allocated over the remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. In particular, after lease commencement, the lease liability is measured at the present value of any remaining lease payments, discounted by using the rate determined at lease commencement, consistently with the model used to calculate the liability related to the finance lease. Correspondingly, the right-of-use asset is measured as the lease liability adjusted by accrued or prepaid rents (i.e., the aggregate difference between the cash payment and straight-line lease cost), remaining unamortized initial direct costs and lease incentives, and any impairments of the right-of-use asset. Equipment on Operating Leases Financial Services purchases leases and equipment from CNH dealers and other independent third parties that have leased equipment to retail customers under operating leases. Financial Services’ investment in operating leases is based on the purchase price paid for the equipment. Income from these operating leases is recognized over the term of the lease. The equipment is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease to the estimated residual value at lease termination. Residual values are estimated at the inception of the lease and are reviewed quarterly. Realization of the residual values is dependent on Financial Services’ future ability to re-market the equipment under then prevailing market conditions. Equipment model changes and updates, as well as market strength and product acceptance, are monitored and adjustments are made to residual values in accordance with the significance of any such changes. Management believes that the estimated residual values are realizable. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs of the applicable equipment are the responsibility of the lessee. Financial Services evaluates the carrying amount of equipment on operating leases for potential impairment when it determines a triggering event has occurred. When a triggering event occurs, a test for recoverability is performed comparing projected undiscounted future cash flows to the carrying amount of the asset. If the test for recoverability identifies a possible impairment, the asset’s fair value is measured in accordance with the fair value measurement framework. An impairment charge would be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds its estimated fair value. Equipment returned to the Company upon termination of leases and held for subsequent sale or lease is recorded in inventory at the lower of net book value or estimated fair value of the equipment, less cost to sell, and is not depreciated. Matured operating lease inventory is reported in "Other assets." Goodwill and Other Intangibles Goodwill represents the excess of the aggregate purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill and indefinite- lived intangible assets are reviewed for impairment at least annually. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company performed its annual impairment review and concluded there was no impairment to goodwill. Other intangibles consist primarily of acquired dealer networks, trademarks, in-process research and development, product drawings, patents, and capitalized software. Other intangibles with indefinite lives principally consist of acquired trademarks which have no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factor that limits their useful life. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are not amortized. Other intangible assets with definite lives are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 25 years. Software costs capitalized by CNH primarily relate to cost incurred in the production of software to be embedded in our products. Capitalized software costs are included in Other intangible assets, net on our Consolidate Balance Sheets. Capitalization of costs begins when technological feasibility has been established and ends upon reaching commercialization. Amortization of the assets occurs on a straight-line basis over the assets useful life which is primarily 2 – 5 years. Reference is made to “Note 9: Goodwill and Other Intangibles” for further information regarding goodwill and other intangible assets. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets, Goodwill, and Other Intangible Assets CNH evaluates the recoverability of the carrying amount of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be fully recoverable. If circumstances require a long-lived asset to be tested for possible impairment, CNH compares the carrying amount of an asset to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If the carrying amount of the long-lived asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, an impairment is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. 92 Income Taxes The provision for income taxes is determined using the asset and liability method. CNH recognizes a current tax liability or asset for the estimated taxes payable or refundable on tax returns for the current year and tax contingencies estimated to be settled with taxing authorities within one year. A deferred tax liability or asset is recognized for the estimated future tax effects attributable to temporary differences and tax attributes. The measurement of current and deferred tax liabilities and assets is based on provisions of enacted tax law. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized based on available evidence. Retirement and Post-employment Benefits CNH sponsors numerous defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans, the assets of which are held in separate trustee- administered funds. The pension plans are funded by payments from CNH. The cost of providing defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefits is calculated based upon actuarial valuations. The liability for termination indemnities is accrued in accordance with labor legislation in each country where such benefits are required. CNH contributions to defined contribution plans are charged to the income statement during the period of the employee’s service. Derivatives CNH’s policy is to enter into derivative transactions to manage exposures that arise in the normal course of business and not for trading or speculative purposes. CNH records derivative financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or a liability measured at fair value. The fair value of CNH’s foreign exchange derivatives is based on quoted market exchange rates, adjusted for the respective interest rate differentials (premiums or discounts). The fair value of CNH’s interest rate derivatives is based on discounting expected cash flows, using market interest rates, over the remaining term of the instrument. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments are recognized in current income unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met. For derivative financial instruments designated to hedge exposure to changes in the fair value of a recognized asset or liability, the gain or loss is recognized in income in the period of change together with the offsetting loss or gain on the related hedged item. For derivative financial instruments designated to hedge exposure to variable cash flows of a forecasted transaction, the derivative financial instrument’s gain or loss is initially reported in other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into income when the forecasted transaction affects income. For derivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedges but held as economic hedges, the gain or loss is recognized immediately in income. For derivative financial instruments designated as hedges, CNH formally documents the hedging relationship to the hedged item and its risk management strategy. This includes linking all derivatives that are designated as fair value hedges to specific assets and liabilities contained in the consolidated balance sheets and linking cash flow hedges to specific forecasted transactions or variability of cash flow. CNH assesses the effectiveness of its hedging instruments both at inception and on an ongoing basis. If a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer probable of occurring, the hedge accounting described above is discontinued and the derivative is marked to fair value and recorded in income through the remainder of its term. Reference is made to “Note 15: Financial Instruments,” for further information regarding CNH’s use of derivative financial instruments. Share-Based Compensation Plans CNH recognizes all share-based compensation as an expense based on the fair value of each award on the grant date. CNH recognizes share-based compensation costs on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of an award. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares outstanding during each period. Diluted earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of shares and dilutive share equivalents outstanding during each period. Unvested performance-based awards are considered outstanding and included in the computation of diluted earnings per share based on the number of shares that would vest if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. 93 New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2023 Revenue Contract Assets and Liabilities Acquired in a Business Combination In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2021-08"). ASU 2021-08 requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) as applied by the acquiree to determine what to record for the acquired revenue contract assets and liabilities instead of at fair value on the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2021-08 and applied the guidance within ASU 2021-08 on business combinations beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures In March 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-02, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures (“ASU 2022-02”). ASU 2022-02 eliminates the accounting guidance for troubled debt restructurings (TDRs) for creditors in ASC 310-40 and amends the guidance on vintage disclosures to require disclosure of current period gross write-offs by year of origination. ASU 2022-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. Entities can elect to adopt the guidance on TDRs using either a prospective or modified retrospective transition. The amendments related to disclosures should be adopted prospectively. The Company adopted ASU 2022-02 and applied the guidance within ASU 2022-02 to its consolidated financial statements and disclosures prospectively beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements and note disclosures. Supplier Finance Programs Disclosures In September 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-04, Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations ("ASU 2022-04"). ASU 2022-04 requires the buyer in a supplier finance program to disclose information about the key terms of the program, outstanding confirmed amounts as of the end of the period, a roll forward of such amounts during each annual period, and a description of where in the financial statements outstanding amounts are presented. ASU 2022-04 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years, except for the disclosure of roll forward information, which is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2022-04 and applied the guidance within ASU 2022-04 to its disclosures beginning January 1, 2023. As these amendments relate to disclosures only, there are no other impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Under the supply chain finance programs, administered by third parties, our suppliers are given the opportunity to sell receivables from us to participating financial institutions at their sole discretion. Our responsibility is limited to making payment on the terms originally negotiated with our supplier, regardless of whether the supplier sells its receivable to a financial institution. The range of payment terms we negotiate with our suppliers is consistent, irrespective of whether a supplier participates in the program. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, $148 million and $189 million, respectively, of obligations remain outstanding that we have confirmed as valid to the administrators of the supply chain finance programs. These balances are included within “Accounts payable” in our consolidated balance sheets and are reflected as cash flow from operating activities in our consolidated statements of cash flows when settled. Reference Rate Reform In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting ("ASU 2020-04"). ASU 2020-04 provides temporary optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by Reference Rate Reform if certain criteria are met. In December 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-06, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 (ASU 2022-06"). ASU 2022-06 extended the sunset date of ASC Topic 848 from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. The Company elected to adopt ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2022-06 in the second quarter of 2023. The Company renegotiated its contract terms on its interest rate derivatives by changing the floating interest rate swap from LIBOR to overnight SOFR. The Company elected to make the change using the optional expedients under ASC 848, which allow the change in critical terms without 94 de-designation and results in no change to the cumulative basis adjustment reflected in earnings. The elections did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Not Yet Adopted Leases between entities under common control In March 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-01, Leases (Topic 842): Common Control Arrangements ("ASU 2023-01"). ASU 2023-01 requires that leasehold improvements associated with common control leases be amortized by the lessee over the useful life of the leasehold improvements to the common control group (regardless of the lease term) as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset. Additionally, the leasehold improvements are subject to the impairment guidance in Topic 360: Property, Plant and Equipment. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not anticipate that the ASU will have a significant effect on its financial statements and related disclosures. Disclosure improvements In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC to the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company does not anticipate that the ASU will have a significant effect on its financial statements and related disclosures. Improvements to reportable segment disclosures In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, to improve the disclosures about a public entity’s reportable segments and address requests from investors for additional, more detailed information about a reportable segment’s expenses. The amendments in this update are effective date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption to our reportable segment disclosures. Improvements to income tax disclosures In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. The amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have to our income tax disclosures. 95 Note 3: Revenue The following table summarize revenues for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021: (in millions of dollars) Agriculture Construction Eliminations and other Total Industrial Activities Financial Services Eliminations and other Total Revenues Year Ended December 31, 2022 17,969 $ 3,572 — 21,541 1,996 14 23,551 $ 2023 18,148 $ 3,932 — 22,080 2,573 34 24,687 $ 2021 14,721 3,081 — 17,802 1,672 22 19,496 $ $ The following table disaggregates revenues by major source for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021: (in millions of dollars) Revenues from: Sales of goods Rendering of services and other revenues Revenues from sales of goods and services Finance and interest income Rents and other income on operating lease Finance, interest and other income Total Revenues Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 $ $ 22,036 $ 44 22,080 1,882 725 2,607 24,687 $ 21,506 $ 35 21,541 1,169 841 2,010 23,551 $ 17,783 19 17,802 912 782 1,694 19,496 Contract liabilities recorded in Other liabilities were $50 million, $33 million and $20 million at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Contract liabilities primarily relate to extended warranties. During the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, revenues included $11 million, $6 million and $1 million, respectively, relating to contract liabilities outstanding at the beginning of each period. As of December 31, 2023, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was approximately $48 million (approximately $33 million at December 31, 2022). CNH expects to recognize revenue on approximately 32% and 95% of the remaining performance obligations over the next 12 and 36 months, respectively (approximately 30% and 91% as of December 31, 2022, respectively). Note 4: Receivables Trade Receivables, net As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had trade receivables of $133 million and $172 million, respectively. Trade receivables are shown net of allowances for credit losses of $24 million and $23 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022 respectively. 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. 96 Financing Receivables, net A summary of financing receivables included in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows: (in millions of dollars) Retail Wholesale Other Total 2023 2022 $ $ 13,868 $ 10,334 47 24,249 $ 11,446 7,785 29 19,260 CNH provides and administers retail note and lease financing, as well as revolving charge account financing, to end use customers for the purchase of new and used equipment and components sold by its dealer network. The terms of retail notes and finance leases generally range from two to seven years, and interest rates vary depending on prevailing market interest rates and certain incentive programs offered on behalf of and sustained by Industrial Activities. Revolving charge accounts are generally accompanied by higher interest rates than the Company’s other retail financing products, require minimum monthly payments, and do not have pre- determined maturity dates. Wholesale receivables arise primarily from dealer floorplan financing, and to a lesser extent, from 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 by the dealer of the underlying equipment. For 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 receives payment in full. The “interest-free” periods are determined based on the type of equipment sold and the time of year of the sale. The Company evaluates and assesses dealers on an ongoing basis as to their creditworthiness. CNH may be obligated to repurchase the dealer’s equipment upon cancellation or termination of the dealer’s contract for such causes as change in ownership, closeout of the business, or default. There were no significant losses in 2023, 2022 or 2021 relating to the termination of dealer contracts. Maturities of financing receivables as of December 31, 2023 are as follows: (in millions of dollars) 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 and thereafter Total Amount $ 14,852 3,363 2,657 1,900 1,086 391 $ 24,249 It has been the Company’s experience that substantial portions of retail receivables, which include retail notes and finance leases, are repaid before their contractual maturity dates. As a result, the above table should not be regarded as a forecast of future cash collections. Financing receivables 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. The Company typically retains, as collateral, a security interest in the equipment associated with retail and wholesale receivables, while revolving charge accounts are generally not related to or secured by an identified piece of equipment. Transfers of Financial Assets As part of its overall funding strategy, the Company periodically transfers certain receivables into special purpose entities ("SPEs") as part of its asset backed securitization ("ABS") programs or into factoring transactions. SPEs utilized in the securitization programs differ from other entities included in the Company's consolidated financial statements because the assets they hold are legally isolated from the Company's assets. For bankruptcy analysis purposes, the Company has sold the receivables to the SPEs in a true sale and the SPEs are separate legal entities. Upon transfer of the receivables to the SPEs, the receivables and certain cash flows derived from them become restricted for use in meeting obligations to the SPEs' creditors. The SPEs have ownership of cash balances that also have restrictions for the benefit of the SPEs' investors. The Company's interests in the SPEs' receivables are subordinate to the interests of third-party investors. None of the receivables that are directly or indirectly sold or transferred in any of these transactions are available to pay the Company's creditors until all obligations of the SPE have been fulfilled or the receivables are removed from the SPE. 97 Certain securitization trusts are also VIEs and consequently, the VIEs are consolidated since the Company has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIEs' economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIEs. The Company may retain all or a portion of the subordinated interests in the SPEs. No recourse provisions exist that allow holders of the asset-backed securities issued by the trusts to put those securities back to the Company, although the Company provides customary representations and warranties that could give rise to an obligation to repurchase from the trusts any receivable for which there is a breach of the representations and warranties. Moreover, the Company does not guarantee any security issued by the trusts. The trusts have a limited life and generally terminate upon final distribution of amounts owed to investors or upon exercise of a cleanup-call option by the Company, in its role as servicer. Factoring transactions may be either with recourse or without recourse; certain without recourse transfers include deferred payment clauses (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 qualify for the derecognition of the assets since the risks and rewards connected with collection are not substantially transferred, and accordingly the Company continues to recognize the receivables transferred by this means in its balance sheet and a financial liability of the same amount under asset-backed financing. The secured borrowings related to the transferred receivables are obligations that are payable as the receivables are collected. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying amount of such restricted receivables included in financing receivables are the following: (in millions of dollars) Retail Wholesale Total Allowance for Credit Losses 2023 2022 $ 7,707 $ 6,381 6,766 4,582 $ 14,088 $ 11,348 CNH's allowance for credit losses is segregated into two portfolio products: retail and wholesale. A portfolio product is the level at which CNH develops a systematic methodology for determining its allowance for credit losses. Further, the class of receivables by which CNH evaluates its portfolio products is by geographic region. Typically, CNH's receivables within a geographic area have similar risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring risk. The classes align with management reporting.

CNH assesses and monitors the credit quality of its financing receivables based on delinquency status. Receivables are considered past due if the required principal and interest payments have not yet been received as of the date such payments were due. Delinquency is reported on financing receivables greater than 30 days past due. Non-performing financing receivables represent receivables for which CNH has ceased accruing finance income. These receivables are generally 90 days past due. Accrued interest is charged-off to interest income. Interest income charged-off was not material for the year ended December 31, 2023. Interest accrual is resumed if the receivable becomes contractually current and collection becomes probable. Previously suspended income is recognized at that time. As the terms for retail financing receivables are greater than one year, the performing/non- performing information is presented by year of origination for North America, South America and Asia Pacific. 99 The aging of financing receivables by vintage as of December 31, 2023 is as follows: 31-60 Days Past Due 61-90 Days Past Due Total Past Due Current Total Performing Non- Performing Total Gross Charge-offs (in millions of dollars) Retail North America 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 Prior to 2019 Total South America 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 Prior to 2019 Total Asia Pacific 2023 2022 2021 2020 2019 Prior to 2019 Total Europe, Middle East, Africa Total Retail Wholesale North America South America Asia Pacific $ $ Europe, Middle East, Africa Total Wholesale $ $ 3,976 $ 4 $ 3,980 $ 2,133 1,323 561 208 66 44 3 47 8,220 8,267 1,986 955 573 294 123 107 22 — 22 4,016 4,038 609 453 255 115 31 3 1,466 6 5 — 6 — 11 — 1,455 6 4 3 2 1 1 15 9 32 13 4 2 1 61 — 1 1 1 1 — 4 11 2,137 1,326 563 209 67 8,282 1,995 987 586 298 125 108 4,099 609 454 256 116 32 3 1,470 17 71 $ 9 $ 80 $ 13,697 $ 13,777 $ 91 $ 13,868 $ — $ — 4 5 9 $ — $ — 2 — — $ — 6 5,154 $ 1,404 870 5 2,893 5,154 $ 1,404 876 2,898 — $ 2 — 5,154 $ 1,406 876 — 2,898 2 $ 11 $ 10,321 $ 10,332 $ 2 $ 10,334 $ 1 10 4 3 3 3 24 — — 2 7 1 1 11 — 1 1 2 2 1 7 — 42 — 4 1 — 5 100 The aging of financing receivables by vintage as of December 31, 2022 is as follows: (in millions of dollars) Retail North America 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 Prior to 2018 Total South America 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 Prior to 2018 Total Asia Pacific 2022 2021 2020 2019 2018 Prior to 2018 Total Europe, Middle East, Africa Total Retail Wholesale North America South America Asia Pacific Europe, Middle East, Africa Total Wholesale Troubled Debt Restructurings $ $ $ 31-60 Days Past Due 61-90 Days Past Due Total Past Due Current Total Performing Non- Performing Total $ 3,558 $ — $ 3,558 2,035 994 472 225 65 42 16 58 7,291 7,349 1,179 725 408 207 116 95 12 — 12 2,718 2,730 601 400 220 84 35 3 1,343 2 8 — 8 — 16 — 1,327 2 1 — — — — 1 2 3 2 1 — — 8 — 1 1 — — — 2 11 2,036 994 472 225 65 7,350 1,181 728 410 208 116 95 2,738 601 401 221 84 35 3 1,345 13 62 $ 24 $ 86 $ 11,338 $ 11,424 $ 22 $ 11,446 — $ — — 7 7 $ — $ — — 2 2 $ — $ — — 3,378 $ 1,416 494 9 2,488 3,378 $ 1,416 494 2,497 — $ — — — 3,378 1,416 494 2,497 9 $ 7,776 $ 7,785 $ — $ 7,785 A restructuring of a receivable constitutes a 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 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. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, CNH's TDRs for retail and wholesale receivables were immaterial. 101 Note 5: Inventories Inventories (stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined on a FIFO basis) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 consist of the following: (in millions of dollars) Raw materials Work-in-process Finished goods Total Inventories 2023 2022 $ 1,891 $ 1,955 443 3,211 $ 5,545 $ 471 2,385 4,811 Note 6: Property, Plant and Equipment A summary of property, plant and equipment as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows: (in millions of dollars) Land and industrial buildings Plant, machinery and equipment Construction in progress Other Gross property, plant and equipment Accumulated depreciation Net property, plant and equipment 2023 2022 $ 1,896 $ 3,641 276 423 6,236 1,807 3,293 194 364 5,658 (4,323) (4,126) $ 1,913 $ 1,532 Property, plant and equipment recorded under capital leases were immaterial as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Note 8: Leases Lessee The Company has operating lease contracts mainly for buildings, plant and machinery, vehicles, IT equipment and machinery. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded in the balance sheet. For the leases the Company recognized, on a straight- line basis over the lease term, the Company incurred lease expense of $10 million and $13 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company incurred operating lease expenses of $93 million and $74 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded approximately $297 million and $225 million of a right-of-use asset, respectively, and $300 million and $228 million of lease liability included in Other assets and Other liabilities, respectively. At December 31, 2023 and 2022 the weighted-average remaining lease term (calculated on the basis of the remaining lease term and the lease liability balance for each lease) and the weighted-average discount rate for operating leases were 5.6 years and 4.4%, and 5.9 years and 3.8%, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, leased assets obtained in exchange for operating lease obligations were $153 million and $114 million, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, operating cash outflow for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease obligations was $90 million and $73 million, respectively. Future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases as of December 31, 2023 were as follows: (in millions of dollars) Operating Leases 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 and thereafter Total future minimum lease payments Less: Interest Total 103 $ $ 86 68 53 41 30 73 351 51 300 Lessor The Company, primarily through its Financial Services segment, leases equipment to retail customers under operating leases. Our leases typically have terms of 3 to 5 years with options available for the lessee to purchase the equipment at the lease term date. Revenue for non-lease components are accounted for separately. A summary of equipment on operating leases as of December 31, 2023, and 2022 is as follows: (in millions of dollars) Equipment on operating leases Accumulated depreciation Net equipment on operating leases 2023 2022 $ $ 1,784 $ (367) 1,417 $ 1,894 (392) 1,502 Depreciation expense on equipment on operating leases is recorded in "Other, net" and amounted to $187 million, $207 million and $241 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following table sets out a maturity analysis of operating lease payments, showing the undiscounted lease payments to be received after the reporting date: (in millions of dollars) Amount 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 and thereafter Total undiscounted lease payments Note 9: Goodwill and Other Intangibles $ $ 204 142 78 31 10 — 465 Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: (in millions of dollars) Agriculture Construction Balance at January 1, 2022 $ 3,020 $ Foreign currency translation and other Acquisitions Balance at December 31, 2022 Foreign currency translation and other Acquisitions 68 48 3,136 2 288 49 $ (3) — 46 1 — Financial Services Total 141 $ 3,210 (1) — 140 1 — 64 48 3,322 4 288 Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 3,426 $ 47 $ 141 $ 3,614 During 2023, the acquisitions of Augmenta, Bennamann and Hemisphere led to an increase in goodwill for Agriculture of $76 million, $118 million and $111 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. During fiscal year 2023, measurement period adjustments were recorded reducing goodwill by $14 million and $3 million for Augmenta and Bennamann, respectively. The valuations of assets acquired and liabilities assumed have not yet been finalized as of December 31, 2023. Thus, goodwill associated with the acquisitions is subject to adjustment during the measurement period. Impairment testing for goodwill is done at a reporting unit level. Under the goodwill impairment test, CNH’s estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit is compared with its carrying value. An impairment charge should be recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. CNH has the option to perform the qualitative assessment for a reporting unit to determine if the quantitative impairment test is necessary. 104 Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if a triggering event occurs. At December 31, 2023, the Company completed its annual impairment assessment and concluded there were no impairments to goodwill for any of the reporting units. As of December 31, 2023 the estimated fair values of all reporting units with goodwill exceeded the carrying value by more than 40%. Accordingly, management determined that none of the reporting units were at higher risk for impairment at December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022, the Company’s other intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following: (in millions of dollars) Other intangible assets subject to amortization: Dealer networks Patents, concessions, licenses and other Capitalized software Other intangible assets not subject to amortization: In-process research and development Software in-progress Trademarks Total other intangible assets Weighted Avg.

The recorded intangibles comprised for developed technology, in-process R&D, and customer relationships. Measurement period adjustments were recorded in the second and third quarters increasing intangible assets by $12 million and $5 million for Augmenta and Bennamann, respectively. The valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed has not been finalized as of December 31, 2023. The intangible assets associated with the acquisitions are subject to adjustment during the measurement period. CNH recorded amortization expense of $164 million, $130 million and $85 million during 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Based on the current amount of other intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated annual amortization expense for each of the succeeding 5 years is expected to be as follows: $162 million in 2024; $113 million in 2025; $87 million in 2026; $73 million in 2027 and $51 million in 2028. Note 10: 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. At December 31, 2023, CNH’s available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $5.9 billion ($5.1 billion at December 31, 2022). In March 2019, CNH 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 exercised the first of the two extension options as of February 28, 2020 and the second extension option as of February 26, 2021. The facility is now due to mature in March 2026 for €3,950.5 million; €49.5 million within the facility will mature in March 2025. The credit facility replaced 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.), 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 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 105 lead to the requirement to make early repayment of the outstanding advances. At December 31, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants in the revolving credit facility. At December 31, 2023, Financial Services’ committed asset-backed facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to $3.7 billion ($2.9 billion at December 31, 2022), of which $3.7 billion at December 31, 2023 ($2.1 billion at December 31, 2022) were utilized. CNH entered into an 18-month committed unsecured credit facility on December 19, 2023, was undrawn at December 31, 2023 and was fully drawn on January 12, 2024.

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 Investors Service (Moody's) upgraded the senior unsecured ratings of CNH Industrial N.V. (CNHI) and its supported subsidiaries including CNH Industrial Capital LLC, CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. (CNHI Finance), CNH Industrial Capital Australia Pty. Limited and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. to Baa2 from Baa3. At the same time, Moody's withdrew CNHI Finance's short term rating of (P)P-3. The outlook is stable. 107 On November 30, 2023, Standard & Poor's ("S&P") Global Ratings raised its long-term issuer credit ratings on CNH Industrial N.V. and its subsidiary, CNH Industrial Capital LLC, to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'. S&P Global Ratings also affirmed the 'A-2' short-term issuer credit rating. Additionally, S&P Global Ratings raised the issue-level ratings on CNH Industrial N.V. and its industrial subsidiaries' debt, as well as the issue-level ratings on CNH Industrial Capital LLC's senior unsecured debt, to 'BBB+' from 'BBB'. The outlook is stable. The bonds issued by CNH 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. Other debt consists primarily of borrowings from banks which are at various terms and rates. Included in Other debt of Financial Services is approximately $1.5 billion and $1.2 billion at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, of funding provided by the Brazilian development agency, Banco Nacional de Desenvolvimento Econômico e Social (BNDES). The program provides subsidized funding to financial institutions to be loaned to customers to support the purchase of agricultural or construction machinery or commercial equipment in accordance with the program. A summary of the minimum annual repayments of debt as of December 31, 2023 and thereafter is as follows: (in millions of dollars) 2024 2025 2026 2027 2028 2029 and thereafter Financial payables to Iveco Group N.V.

Note 11: Income Taxes CNH Industrial N.V. and its subsidiaries have substantial worldwide operations and incur tax obligations in the jurisdictions in which they operate. The Company’s provision for income taxes as reported in its consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023 of $594 million consists almost entirely of income taxes related to subsidiaries of CNH Industrial N.V. The sources of income before taxes and equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: (in millions of dollars) Parent country source Foreign sources Income (loss) of Consolidated Group before Income Taxes 2023 2022 2021 $ $ (48) $ 143 $ 161 2,751 2,703 $ 2,539 2,682 $ 1,778 1,939 The provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 consisted of the following: (in millions of dollars) Current income taxes Deferred income taxes Total income tax provision (benefit) 2023 2022 2021 $ $ 1,118 $ (524) 594 $ 819 $ (72) 747 $ 498 (269) 229 108 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 provision for income taxes and the statutory rate 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; specifically, the tax rate of 23.5% 19.0% and 19.0% for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Reconciliations of CNH’s income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 are as follows: (in millions of dollars) Tax provision at the parent statutory rate Foreign income taxed at different rates Change in valuation allowance Tax contingencies Tax credits and incentives Change in tax rate or law Other 2023 2022 2021 $ 635 $ 510 $ 73 243 368 136 (117) (70) (207) 66 58 (136) (54) — 73 — 60 (18) (79) (5) 34 Total income tax provision (benefit) $ 594 $ 747 $ 229 The decreased tax expense in 2023, as compared to 2022, was largely attributable to the recognition of $99 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in the United Kingdom, lower profitability in high-tax jurisdictions as a percent of total profit, higher credits and incentives, and the tax benefit related to the sale of CNH Industrial Russia, offset by increases in the tax rate due to the tax impact from the Argentina highly inflationary economy and discrete tax expense associated with prior periods. The higher tax expense in 2022, as compared to 2021, was driven by increased profitability in high-tax jurisdictions as a percent of total profit, taxes associated with the disposition of Raven’s Engineered Films Division and Raven’s Aerostar Division, additional reserves for uncertain tax positions, and the tax impacts associated with Argentina's highly inflationary economy. The 2022 tax rate was reduced by the recognition of $55 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in Italy. The 2021 tax rate was reduced by the recognition of $161 million of previously unrecognized deferred tax assets in Brazil. The 2021 rate was also reduced by a reduction in reserves for uncertain tax positions and the utilization of unrecognized deferred tax assets. At December 31, 2023, undistributed earnings in certain subsidiaries outside the U.K. totaled approximately $2 billion for which no deferred tax liability has been recorded because the remittance of earnings from those jurisdictions would incur no tax, or because such earnings are indefinitely reinvested. The Company has determined the amount of unrecognized deferred tax liability relating to the $2 billion of undistributed earnings was approximately $206 million and was attributable to withholding taxes and incremental local country income taxes in certain jurisdictions. Further, the Company evaluated the undistributed earnings from joint ventures in which it owned 50% or less and recorded $13 million of deferred tax liabilities as of December 31, 2023. The repatriation of undistributed earnings from subsidiaries to the U.K. is generally exempt from U.K. income taxes and as such there is no deferred tax liability associated with undistributed earnings from non-UK jurisdictions. 109 Deferred Income Tax Assets and Liabilities The components of net deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: (in millions of dollars) Deferred tax assets: Warranty and campaigns Allowance for credit losses Marketing and sales incentive programs Other risk and future charges reserve Pension, postretirement and postemployment benefits Leasing liabilities Research and development costs Other reserves Tax credits and loss carry forwards Less: Valuation allowances Total deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities: Property, plant and equipment Intangibles Inventories Other Total deferred tax liabilities Net deferred tax assets 2023 2022 $ 94 $ 137 551 57 104 69 234 267 262 86 108 359 40 87 55 139 251 266 (207) 1,568 (343) 1,048 380 192 25 27 624 $ 944 $ 370 180 70 80 700 348 Net deferred tax assets are reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 as follows: (in millions of dollars) Deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities Net deferred tax assets Valuation Allowances 2023 2022 $ $ 979 $ (35) 944 $ 433 (85) 348 As of December 31, 2023, the Company has valuation allowances of $207 million against certain deferred tax assets, including tax loss carry forwards, tax credits and other deferred tax assets. These valuation allowances are primarily attributable to certain operations in China, Germany, and the U.K. CNH has gross tax loss carry forwards in several tax jurisdictions. These tax losses expire as follows: $23 million in 2024; $24 million in 2025; $4 million in 2026; $15 million in 2027; $266 million in 2028 and beyond. CNH also has tax loss carry forwards of approximately $672 million with indefinite lives. CNH has tax credit carry forwards of $45 million of which $5 million will expire in 2026, $3 million will expire in 2027, and $37 million will expire in 2028 and beyond. Uncertain Tax Positions The Company files income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions and is subject to examination by taxing authorities throughout the world. The Company has open tax years from 2006 to 2023. Due to the global nature of the Company’s business, transfer pricing disputes may arise, and the Company may seek correlative relief through the competent authority processes. The Company has considered the possibility of correlative relief when booking contingencies related to transfer pricing. The lapsing of statutes, closure of currently on-going audits, or initiation of new audits in the next 12 months is not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial positions or results of operations. 110 A reconciliation of the gross amounts of tax contingencies at the beginning and end of the year is as follows: (in millions of dollars) Balance, beginning of year Additions based on tax positions related to the current year Additions for tax positions of prior years Reductions for tax positions of prior years Reductions for tax positions as a result of lapse of statute Settlements Balance, end of year 2023 2022 $ $ 162 $ 52 63 (35) — (8) 234 $ 143 16 35 (16) (2) (14) 162 As of December 31, 2023, there are $234 million of unrecognized tax benefits before consideration of interest, penalties and correlative benefits, and $246 million of unrecognized tax benefits after consideration of interest and penalties and correlative benefits that if recognized would affect the effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties accrued related to tax contingencies as part of the income tax provision. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized expense of approximately $7 million, $6 million and $(2) million for income tax related interest and penalties, respectively. The Company had approximately $25 million, $19 million and $13 million of income tax related interest and penalties accrued at December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits CNH provides pension, healthcare and insurance plans and other postemployment benefits to their employees and retirees under defined contribution and defined benefit plans. In the case of defined contribution plans, CNH 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. CNH recognizes the contribution cost when the employees have rendered their service and includes this cost by function in cost of goods sold, SG&A expense, and R&D expense. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, CNH recorded expense of $145 million, $115 million and $97 million, respectively, for its defined contribution plans. Defined benefit plans are classified by CNH on the basis of the type of benefit provided as follows: pension plans, healthcare plans, and other postemployment benefit plans. Pension Plans Pension obligations primarily comprise the obligations of the Company’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. The Company’s funding policy is to meet the minimum funding requirements pursuant to the laws of the applicable jurisdictions. The Company may also choose to make discretionary contributions. Healthcare Postretirement Benefit Plans Healthcare postretirement benefit plan obligations comprise obligations for healthcare and insurance plans granted to 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 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 plans. These benefits may be subject to deductibles, co-payment provisions and other limitations, and CNH 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, the Company began making contributions on a voluntary basis to a separate and independently managed fund established to finance the North American healthcare plans. On February 20, 2018, CNH announced that the United States Supreme Court ruled in its favor in Reese vs. CNH Industrial N.V. and CNH Industrial America LLC. The decision allowed CNH to terminate or modify various retiree healthcare benefits previously provided to certain UAW Union represented CNH retirees. On April 16, 2018, CNH announced its determination to modify the Benefits provided to the applicable retirees (“Benefits Modification”) to make them consistent with the Benefits provided to current eligible CNH retirees who had been represented by the UAW. The Benefits Modification resulted in a reduction of the plan liability by $527 million. This amount was amortized from OCI to the income statement over approximately 4.5 years, which represents the average service period to attain eligibility conditions for active participants. The amount was completely amortized as of December 111 31, 2022. For the years ended December 31, 2022, and 2021, $90 million and $119 million of amortization was recorded as a pre-tax gain in Other, net, respectively. In 2021, CNH communicated plan changes for the U.S. retiree medical plan. The plan changes resulted in a reduction of the plan liability by $100 million. This amount will be amortized from OCI to the income statement over approximately 4 years, which represents the average service period to attain eligibility conditions for active participants. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, $24 million, $24 million and $6 million of amortization was recorded as a pre-tax gain in Other, net, respectively. Effective January 1, 2022, post-retirement medical coverage for certain U.S. employees who retired prior to December 2004 was transitioned to an individual marketplace. In August 2022, the Company settled the benefits obligation related to RHRA benefits for this group. In connection with this transaction, $27 million of plan obligations and plan assets were transferred. The Company recognized a $3 million pre-tax non-cash settlement charge, primarily related to the accelerated recognition of actuarial losses. Other Postemployment Benefits Other postemployment 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 the Company. The scheme has since changed to a defined contribution plan. The obligation on the Company’s 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.

A flat trend rate assumption is utilized for the Canada plans. Assumed discount rates are used in measurements of pension, healthcare and other postemployment benefit obligations and interest cost components of net periodic cost. CNH 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’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 Company’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 expected long-term rate of return on plan assets reflects management’s expectations on long-term average rates of return on funds invested to provide for benefits included in the projected benefit obligations. The expected return is based on the outlook for inflation, fixed income returns and equity returns while also considering asset allocation and investment strategy, premiums for active management to the extent asset classes are actively managed, and plan expenses. Return patterns and correlations, consensus return forecasts, and other relevant financial factors are analyzed to check for reasonability and appropriateness. The assumed healthcare trend rate represents the rate at which healthcare costs are assumed to increase. Rates are determined based on company-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 annually reviews the mortality assumptions and demographic characteristics of its U.S. pension plan and healthcare plan participants. In 2023 and 2022, the Company continued to use the adopted MP 2021 mortality improvement scale as it continues to be the most current. At this time the Company is not making adjustments to the MP 2021 for any short-term or long-term impacts COVID may have on mortality improvement scales issued in the future. The Company uses the spot yield curve approach to estimate the service and interest cost components of the net periodic pension and other postretirement benefit costs by applying the specific spot rates along the yield curve used to determine the benefit obligations to relevant projected cash outflows. 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 115 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. Weighted-average target asset allocation for all plans for 2023 are as follows: Asset category: Equity securities Debt securities Cash/Other All Plans 7 % 61 % 32 % CNH determines the fair value of plan assets using observable market data obtained from independent sources when available. CNH classifies its plan assets according to the fair value hierarchy: Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. The following summarizes the fair value of plan assets by asset category and level within the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2023: (in millions of dollars) Equity securities: U.S. equities Non-U.S. equities Total Equity securities Fixed income securities: U.S. government bonds U.S. corporate bonds Non-U.S. government bonds Non-U.S. corporate bonds Mortgage backed securities Other fixed income Total Fixed income securities Other types of investments: Mutual funds (1) Insurance contracts Derivatives—credit contracts Real estate Total Other types of investments Cash: Total of Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Assets Investments at net asset value: Mutual funds (2) Total Net Assets Total Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 $ — $ — — — $ — — — $ — — 13 17 26 13 2 2 73 12 14 — — — — 26 1 3 26 13 2 2 47 — — — — — 11 37 $ 919 — — — 919 11 977 $ 919 45 — — 964 22 1,059 $ 48 1,107 $ $ $ — — — — — — — — — — — 45 — — 45 — 45 (1) (2) This category includes mutual funds, which primarily invest in non-U.S. equities and non-U.S. corporate bonds.

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 the Company 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 insurance and could affect CNH’s financial position and results. When it is probable that such a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated, such amounts are provided for in Company's income statement and the related accrual is recorded in “Other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheets. Although the ultimate outcome of legal matters pending against CNH and its subsidiaries cannot be predicted, the Company believes the reasonable possible range of losses for these unresolved legal matters in addition to the amounts accrued would not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements. Environmental Pursuant to the U.S. Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 (“CERCLA”), which imposes strict and, under certain circumstances, joint and several liability for remediation and liability for natural resource damages, and other federal and state laws that impose similar liabilities, CNH has received inquiries for information or notices of its potential liability regarding 66 non-owned U.S. sites at which regulated materials allegedly generated by CNH were released or disposed (“Waste Sites”). Of the Waste Sites, 16 are on the National Priority List (“NPL”) promulgated pursuant to CERCLA. For 60 of the Waste Sites, the monetary amount or extent of the Company’s liability has either been resolved; it has not been named as a potentially responsible party (“PRP”), or its liability is likely de minimis. Because estimates of remediation costs are subject to revision as more information becomes available about the extent and cost of remediation and because settlement agreements can be reopened under certain circumstances, the Company’s potential liability for remediation costs associated with the 66 Waste Sites could change. Moreover, because liability under CERCLA and similar laws can be joint and several, CNH could be required to pay amounts in excess of its pro rata share of remediation costs. However, when appropriate, the financial strength of other PRPs has been considered in the determination of the Company’s potential liability. CNH believes that the costs associated with the Waste Sites will not have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations. 119 The Company is conducting environmental investigatory or remedial activities at certain properties that are currently or were formerly owned and/or operated or that are being decommissioned. The Company believes that the outcome of these activities will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial position, or results of operations. The actual costs for environmental matters could differ materially from those costs currently anticipated due to the nature of historical handling and disposal of hazardous substances typical of manufacturing and related operations, the discovery of currently unknown conditions, and as a result of more aggressive enforcement by regulatory authorities and changes in existing laws and regulations. As in the past, CNH plans to continue funding its costs of environmental compliance from operating cash flows. Investigation, analysis and remediation of environmental sites is a time consuming activity. The Company expects such costs to be incurred and claims to be resolved over an extended period of time that could exceed 30 years for some sites. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, environmental reserves of approximately $20 million and $25 million, respectively, were established to address these specific estimated potential liabilities. Such reserves are undiscounted and do not include anticipated recoveries, if any, from insurance companies. After considering these reserves, management is of the opinion that the outcome of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations. Other Litigation and Investigation Follow-up on Damages Claims: in 2011 Iveco S.p.A. ("Iveco"), a subsidiary 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. Following the Demerger, CNH cannot be excluded from current and future follow on proceedings originating from the Decision because under EU competition law a company cannot use corporate reorganizations to avoid liability for private damage claims. In the event one or more of these judicial proceedings would result in a decision against CNH ordering it to compensate such claimants as a result of the conduct that was the subject matter of the Decision, and Iveco and IMAG do not comply with such decisions, as a result of various intercompany arrangements, then CNH will ultimately have recourse against Iveco and IMAG for the reimbursement of the damages effectively paid to such claimants. The Company believes that the risk of either Iveco or IMAG or Iveco Group defaulting on potential payment obligations arising from such follow-up on damage claims is remote. FPT Emissions Investigation: on July 22, 2020, a number of the Company's (pre-Demerger) offices in Europe were visited by investigators in the context of a request for assistance by the public prosecutors of Frankfurt am Main, Germany and Turin, Italy in relation to alleged noncompliance of two engine models produced by FPT Industrial S.p.A., which is a wholly-controlled subsidiary Iveco Group N.V. The Italian criminal investigation has been dismissed in 2023. As a result of FPT Industrial's full cooperation and ongoing discussions with the investigative authorities, all German criminal investigation have also been concluded in December 2023. In certain instances CNH and other third parties have also received various requests for compensation by German and Austrian customers on various contractual and tort grounds, including requests for damages resulting from the termination of the purchase contracts, or in the form of requests for an alleged lower residual value of their vehicles as a consequence of the alleged non- compliance with other approval regulations regarding emissions. In certain instances, other customers have brought judicial claims on the same legal and factual bases. While the Company had no role in the design and sale of such engine models and vehicles, the Company cannot predict at this time the extent and outcome of these requests and directly or indirectly related legal proceedings, including customer claims or potential class actions alleging emissions non-compliance. The Company believes that the risk of either FPT Industrial or Iveco Group N.V. defaulting on potential payment obligations arising from such proceedings is remote. Commitments CNH has entered operating lease contracts for the right to use industrial buildings and equipment and other assets. Refer to Note 8: Leases for future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable lease contracts. At December 31, 2023, Financial Services has various agreements to extend credit for the following financing arrangements: (in millions of dollars) Wholesale and dealer financing Revolving charge accounts Guarantees Total Credit Limit Utilized Not Utilized $ $ 8,874 $ 2,557 $ 5,715 $ 210 $ 3,159 2,347 CNH provided guarantees on the debt or commitments of third parties and performance guarantees in the interest of non-consolidated affiliates as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 totaling $37 million and $19 million, respectively. 120 Note 15: Financial Instruments CNH may elect to measure financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This fair value option would be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election can be made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability or firm commitment or, when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not be revoked once made. CNH has not elected the fair value measurement option for eligible items. Fair-Value Hierarchy The hierarchy of valuation techniques for financial instruments is based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy: Level 1—Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets. Level 2—Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets. Level 3—Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available. Determination of Fair Value When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such items as Level 1. In some cases where a market price is not available, the Company will make use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the items are classified as Level 2. If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates, currency rates, or yield curves. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified as Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable. The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models and the key inputs to those models as well as any significant assumptions. Derivatives CNH utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency exposures. 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 does not hold or enter into derivatives or other financial instruments for speculative purposes. The credit and market risk related to derivatives is reduced through diversification among various counterparties, utilizing mandatory termination clauses and/or collateral support agreements. Derivative instruments are generally classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. The cash flows underlying all derivative contracts were recorded in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Foreign Exchange Derivatives CNH has entered into foreign exchange forward contracts and swaps in order to manage and preserve the economic value of cash flows in a currency different from the functional currency of the relevant legal entity. CNH conducts its business on a global basis in a wide variety of foreign currencies and hedges foreign currency exposures arising from various receivables, liabilities, and expected inventory purchases and sales. Derivative instruments utilized to hedge the foreign currency risk associated with anticipated inventory purchases and sales in foreign currencies are designated as cash flow hedges. Gains and losses on these instruments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) and recognized in earnings when the related transaction occurs. If a derivative instrument is terminated because the hedge relationship is no longer effective or because the hedged item is a forecasted transaction that is no longer determined to be probable, the cumulative amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) is recognized immediately in earnings. Such amounts were insignificant in all periods presented. 121 CNH also uses forwards and swaps to hedge certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Such derivatives are considered economic hedges and not designated as hedging instruments. The changes in the fair values of these instruments are recognized directly in income in “Other, net” and are expected to offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the exposures being managed. All of CNH’s foreign exchange derivatives are considered Level 2 as the fair value is calculated using market data input and can be compared to actively traded derivatives. The total notional amount of CNH’s foreign exchange derivatives was $6.1 billion and $5.9 billion at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Interest Rate Derivatives CNH has entered into interest rate derivatives (swaps and caps) in order to manage interest rate exposures arising in the normal course of business. Interest rate derivatives that have been designated as cash flow hedges are being used by the Company to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates related to existing debt and anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt in future periods. Gains and losses on these instruments are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in interest expense over the period in which CNH recognizes interest expense on the related debt. Interest rate derivatives that have been designated as fair value hedge relationships have been used by CNH to mitigate the volatility in the fair value of existing fixed rate bonds and medium-term notes due to changes in floating interest rate benchmarks. Gains and losses on these instruments are recorded in “Interest expense” in the period in which they occur and an offsetting gain or loss is also reflected in “Interest expense” based on changes in the fair value of the debt instrument being hedged due to changes in floating interest rate benchmarks. CNH also enters into offsetting interest rate derivatives with substantially similar terms that are not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate interest rate risk related to CNH’s committed asset-backed facilities. Unrealized and realized gains and losses resulting from fair value changes in these instruments are recognized directly in income. Net gains and losses on these instruments were insignificant for the years ending December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021. All of CNH’s interest rate derivatives outstanding as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are considered Level 2. The fair market value of these derivatives is calculated using market data input and can be compared to actively traded derivatives. The total notional amount of CNH’s interest rate derivatives was approximately $9.0 billion and $6.4 billion at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As a result of the reform and replacement of specific benchmark interest rates, the Company elected to make the replacement using the optional expedient under ASC 848, which allows the change in critical terms without de-designation and the Company also elected the optional expedient to apply a spread adjustment to hedged items cash flows that resulted in no change to the cumulative basis adjustment reflected in earnings. 122 Financial Statement Impact of CNH Derivatives The following table summarizes the gross impact of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow

The inputs include replacement cost estimates adjusted for physical deterioration and economic obsolescence. 125 Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade accounts receivable and accounts payable included in the consolidated balance sheets approximates its fair value. Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value The estimated fair market values of financial instruments not carried at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 are as follows: (in millions of dollars) Financing receivables Debt Financing Receivables December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Carrying Amount Fair Value Carrying Amount Fair Value $ $ 24,249 $ 24,129 $ 19,260 $ 27,326 $ 27,624 $ 22,962 $ 18,827 22,651 The fair value of financing receivables is based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at current market interest rates and they are classified as a Level 3 fair value measurement. Debt All debt is classified as a Level 2 fair value measurement with the exception of bonds issued by CNH Industrial Finance Europe S.A. and bonds issued by CNH Industrial N.V. that are classified as a Level 1 fair value measurement. Note 16: Shareholders’ Equity 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.

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. 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 deregistration of such Qualifying Common Shares from the Loyalty Register. After deregistration 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 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 13, 2022, 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. The program reached its conclusion on November 6, 2023. Upon the completion of the program, on November 7, 2023 CNH's board of directors approved a new share buyback program. Under the new program, CNH will repurchase up to $1 billion worth of its common shares between November 8, 2023 and March 1, 2024. 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 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 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 buyback 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, 2023, the Company repurchased 55.2 million shares of its common stock on the Euronext Milan and on multilateral trading facilities under the buyback program. As of December 31, 2023, the Company held 73.5 million common shares in treasury, net of transfers of common shares to fulfill its obligations under its stock compensation plans, at an aggregate cost 127 of $865 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. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company acquired, for no consideration, approximately 0.1 million special voting shares following the deregistration 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, 2023, the Company held 25.0 million special voting shares in treasury. Dividend On April 14, 2023, the Company's shareholders approved a dividend of €0.36 per common share and totaling approximately €482 million (equivalent to $0.394 per common share and totaling approximately $527 million, respectively, translated at the exchange rate reported by the European Central Bank on April 20, 2023). 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. Note 17: Share-Based Compensation For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 CNH recognized total share-based compensation expense of $99 million, $87 million and $78 million respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, CNH recognized a total tax benefit relating to share-based compensation expense of $14 million, $11 million and $6 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, CNH had unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested awards of approximately $103 million based on current assumptions related to achievement of specified performance objectives and period of service, when applicable. Unrecognized share-based compensation costs will be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. CNH’s equity awards are governed by the CNH Industrial N.V. Equity Incentive Plan (“CNH EIP”) and CNH Industrial N.V. Directors’ Compensation Plan (“CNH DCP”). At the AGM held on April 16, 2014, the Company’s shareholders approved the adoption of the CNH 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: 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 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 in CNH 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 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 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 ("PSU") 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 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’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 128 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 issued 5 million PSUs. The total number of shares that will eventually vest may vary from the original estimate due to forfeiture or the level of achievement of the performance goals. 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. During 2021, CNH issued an additional 3 million PSUs to the CEO, key executive officers and select employees. The weighted average fair value of the awards that were issued in 2021 was $13.13 per share. 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. (the Demerger) and Iveco Group became a public listed company independent from CNH. As part of the Demerger, any awards outstanding under the CNH Equity Incentive Plan (or “CNH EIP”), and held by directors, officers and other employees vesting in April 2022 were accelerated in December 2021 and the related equity incentives were issued by CNH in CNH stock. Further, 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 Demerger. The conversion of the CNH 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. 2022 & 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan In 2022 and 2023, the Board of Directors approved the 2022-2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the 2023-2025 Long-Term Incentive Plan, respectively, under the EIP. Both the 2022 and 2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan feature that same three year vesting period, two internal financial metrics, and financial multiplier as the 2021 Long-Term Incentive plan. Additionally the two internal financial metrics and financial multiplier are calculated as specified in the 2021 Long Term Incentive plan. However, differences between all plans exist in regards to the performance achievement threshold for both ROIC and EPS. Furthermore, the 2022 and 2023 plans feature a smaller list of comparator group for its TSR percentile ranking when compared to the 2021 plan. In 2024 the Board of Directors approved the 2024-2026 Long-Term Incentive Plan under the EIP. In 2022 and 2023 CNH issued 2.5 million and 2.8 million PSUs, respectively. 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. The weighted average fair value of the awards that were issued in 2022 and 2023 was $14.04 and $12.29 per share, respectively. The following table reflects the activity of PSUs under the Long-Term Incentive Plans during the year ended December 31, 2023: Nonvested at beginning of year Granted Forfeited/Cancelled Vested Nonvested at end of year Restricted Share Units ("RSU") 2023 Performance Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value 10,847,408 $ 2,789,887 $ (257,808) $ — $ 13,379,487 $ 8.81 12.29 9.67 — 9.52 In 2021, 2022, and 2023, CNH issued approximately 1 million, 2 million and 2 million Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) to key executive officers and select employees with a weighted average fair value of $14.39, $13.90 and $11.87 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. 2021-2023 Long-Term Incentive Plan On December 4, 2020, CNH issued two separate RSU grants to key executive officers and select employees. Under the first RSU grant, 1.1 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, 3.3 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 1.1 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. 129 On December 14, 2020, CNH issued 120 thousand RSUs to the Chair of CNH, 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 April 30, 2022, 2023, and 2024 respectively. The fair value for these awards are $10.76, $10.55 and $10.35, respectively. During 2021, CNH issued an additional 1.5 million RSUs to the CEO, key executive officers and select employees. 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 31, 2022. The second and third tranches are set to vest on April 31, 2023 and April 31, 2024, respectively. The weighted average fair value of these awards are $14.04 per share for the first tranche, $13.84 per share for the second tranche, and $13.66 per share for the third tranche. The remaining awards issued in 2021 had a cumulative weighted average fair value of $16.73. In 2021, CNH, 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 recorded $5 million of expense due to the acceleration of these awards. The weighted average fair value of the shares vested during 2021 was $11.75 per share. 2022-2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan In 2022 and 2023 CNH issued 2 million and 2 million RSUs. 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. The weighted average fair value of the awards that were issued in 2022 and 2023 were $13.90 and $11.87 per share. The following table reflects the activity of RSUs under the Long-Term Incentive Plans during the year ended December 31, 2023: Nonvested at beginning of year Granted Forfeited Vested Nonvested at end of year 2023 Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Restricted Shares 5,423,895 $ 2,091,819 $ (199,208) $ (1,893,449) $ 5,423,057 $ 9.66 11.87 11.58 7.44 11.21 Additional Share-Based Compensation Information The table below provides additional share-based compensation information for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021: (in millions of dollars) Total intrinsic value of options exercised and shares vested Fair value of shares vested 2023 2022 2021 $ $ 52 $ 14 $ 22 $ 3 $ 35 25 Note 18: Earnings per Share The Company’s basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if dilutive securities were exercised into common stock. The effect of dilutive securities is calculated using the treasury stock method. 130 The following table sets forth the computation of basic EPS and diluted EPS for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021: (in millions of dollars, except per share data) Basic: Net income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. 2023 2022 2021 $ 2,371 $ 2,029 $ 1,723 Net income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. from continuing operations Net income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. from discontinued operations Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to common shareholders: Weighted average common shares outstanding—basic Continuing operations Discontinued operations Basic earnings (loss) per share Diluted: Net income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V.

For the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, 0.50 million shares and 0.06 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share due to an anti-dilutive impact. Note 19: Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The Company’s share of comprehensive income (loss) includes net income plus other comprehensive income, which includes changes in fair value of certain derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, certain changes in pension and other retirement benefit plans, foreign currency translation gains and losses, changes in the fair value of available-for-sale securities, the Company’s share of other comprehensive income of entities accounted for using the equity method, and reclassifications for amounts included in net income less net income and other comprehensive income attributable to the noncontrolling interest. For more information on the Company’s derivative instruments, see “Note 15: Financial Instruments”. For more information on the Company’s pensions and retirement benefit obligations, see “Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits”. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) amounts are aggregated within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

See “Note 12: Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits” for additional information. Note 20: Segment Reporting The operating segments through which the Company manages its operations are based on the internal reporting used by the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) to assess performance and make decisions about resource allocation. The segments are organized based on products and services provided by the Company. CNH has three operating segments: Agriculture designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of farm machinery and implements, including two-wheel and four-wheel drive tractors, crawler tractors, combines, grape and sugar cane harvesters, hay and forage equipment, planting and seeding equipment, soil preparation and cultivation implements, and material handling equipment. We are also a leading provider of technology dedicated to Precision Agriculture. Agricultural equipment is sold under the New Holland Agriculture and Case IH brands. Regionally focused brands include: STEYR, for agricultural tractors; Flexi-Coil specializing in tillage and seeding systems; Miller manufacturing application equipment. The Raven brand supports Precision Agriculture, digital technology and the development of autonomous systems. Hemisphere, acquired in 2023, provides high-performance satellite positioning technology for the agriculture and construction industries. Construction designs, manufactures and distributes a full line of construction equipment including excavators, crawler dozers, graders, wheel loaders, backhoe loaders, skid steer loaders, and compact track loaders along with a wide variety of attachments. Construction equipment is sold under the CASE Construction Equipment, New Holland Construction and Eurocomach brands. Financial Services provides and administers financing to end-use customers for the purchase of new and used agricultural and construction equipment and components sold through CNH's dealer network, as well as revolving charge account financing and other financial services. Financial Services also provides wholesale financing to CNH dealers and distributors primarily to finance inventories of equipment for those dealers. Further, Financial Services provides trade receivables factoring services to CNH subsidiaries. The European Financial Services operations are supported by the Iveco Group's Financial Services segment. Financial Services also provides financial services to Iveco Group companies in the North America, South America and Asia Pacific regions. Revenues for each reported segment are those directly generated by or attributable to the segment as a result of its business activities and include revenues from transactions with third parties as well as those deriving from transactions with other segments, recognized at normal market prices. Segment expenses represent expenses deriving from each segment’s business activities both with third parties and other operating segments or which may otherwise be directly attributable to it. Expenses deriving from business activities with other segments are recognized at normal market prices. With reference to the Agriculture and Construction segments, the CODM assesses segment performance and makes decisions about resource allocation based upon Adjusted EBIT. The Company believes Adjusted EBIT more fully reflects Agriculture and Construction segments profitability. Adjusted EBIT of the Agriculture and Construction segments is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes, Financial Services' results, Industrial Activities’ segments interest expenses (net), foreign exchange gains/losses, 133 finance and non-service component of pension and other post-employment benefit costs, restructuring expenses, and certain non- recurring items. In particular, non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities. With reference to Financial Services, the CODM assesses the performance of the segment and makes decisions about resource allocation on the basis of net income prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The following table includes the reconciliation of Adjusted EBIT for Industrial Activities' segments to net income, the most comparable U.S. GAAP financial measure, for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021.
