Balancing continued investments in iron and technology with aggressive cost containment positions us to maintain our full year adjusted EPS target of around $1.70 and demonstrate higher through-the-cycle margins. We will complement our continuous improvement initiatives with targeted restructuring to enhance operational efficiencies and optimize our organization. Our precision technology evolution is accelerating as we execute our longstanding plan to reduce our reliance on third parties. I would like to thank our employees and dealers for their unyielding commitment to ensuring CNH and its brands deliver for our customers.

Net sales of Industrial Activities were $5.33 billion, a decrease of 1% when compared to the corresponding period from the previous year. This decline is mainly due to lower industry demand in Agriculture, especially in South America and in EMEA for combines. Pricing continued to be favorable for both Industrial segments, and Construction net sales grew by approximately 6%.

Net income was $570 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.42 (net income of $559 million in Q3 2022, with diluted earnings per share of $0.41). In Q3 2023, the impact of adjusting items on net income and diluted earnings per share was neutral. In comparison, in Q3 2022, CNH Industrial N.V. reported adjusted net income of $557 million and adjusted diluted earnings per share of $0.41.

Gross profit margin of Industrial Activities was 23.9% (23.0% in Q3 2022) with improvement from the corresponding period from the previous year in both Agriculture and Construction, reflective of favorable price realization and of improving operating performance.

Reported income tax expense was $171 million ($192 million in Q3 2022), and effective tax rate (ETR) was 25.8% (26.3% in Q3 2022) with adjusted ETR⁽³⁾ of 25.7% for the third quarter of 2023 (26.2% in Q3 2022).

Cash flow provided by operating activities in the quarter was $232 million ($272 million in Q3 2022). Free cash flow absorption of Industrial Activities was $127 million. Consolidated Debt was $25 billion as of September 30, 2023 ($23 billion at December 31, 2022).

The Company has initiated an immediate restructuring program targeting a 5% reduction in salaried workforce cost. This will be coupled with a comprehensive rightsizing of the Companys cost structure to be implemented early next year. Between the immediate reductions this year and the additional actions next year, CNH expects a run rate reduction of 10-15% on total labor and non-labor SG&A expenses. The Company expects to incur restructuring charges of up to $200 million.

Agriculture
		Q3 2023		Q3 2022		Change		Change at c.c.(1)
Net sales ($ million)		4,384		4,501		(3)%		(4)%

Adjusted EBIT margin		15.3%		14.8%		+50 bps

In North America, industry volume was up 19% year over year in the third quarter for tractors over 140 HP and was down 7% for tractors under 140 HP; combines were down 4% from prior year. In EMEA, tractor and combine demand was up 4% and down 18%, respectively. Industry volume in Europe alone was down 7% for tractors and down 40% for combines. South America tractor demand was down 16% and combine demand was down 47%. Asia Pacific tractor demand was down 10% and combine demand was up 33%.

Agriculture net sales decreased for the quarter by 2.6% to $4.38 billion primarily as a result of lower industry volume, mainly in EMEA and South America partially offset by favorable mix in North America and continued price realization.

Gross profit margin was 25.6% (25.0% in Q3 2022) up 60 bps as a result of favorable price realization in all regions and diminishing production cost inflation.

Adjusted EBIT was $672 million ($666 million in Q3 2022), with Adjusted EBIT margin at 15.3% (14.8% in Q3 2022). The reduced volumes due to industry headwinds were compensated by better mix, higher gross margin, and slight reduction in SG&A expenses, while R&D investments continued growing and accounted for 5.5% of sales (4.3% in 2022). Income from unconsolidated subsidiaries increased $56 million in the quarter, primarily from our JV.

Construction
		Q3 2023		Q3 2022		Change		Change at c.c.(1)
Net sales ($ million)		948		895		+6%		+4%

Construction net sales increased for the quarter by 6% to $948 million, driven by favorable price realization and positive volume/mix mainly in North America, partially offset by lower net sales in other regions.

Gross profit margin was 15.9%, up 330 bps compared to Q3 2022, mainly due to favorable product mix and price realization.

Adjusted EBIT increased $36 million due to favorable product mix and price realization, while SG&A and R&D spend was flat year-over-year. Adjusted EBIT margin at 6.3% increased by 360 bps vs the same quarter of 2022.

Financial Services
		Q3 2023		Q3 2022		Change		Change at c.c.(1)
Revenue ($ million)		653		482		+35%		+33%
Net income ($ million)		86		86
Equity at quarter-end ($ million)		2,610		2,207		+403
Retail loan originations ($ million)		3,043		2,478		+23%

Revenues increased 35% due to favorable volumes and higher base rates across all regions, partially offset by lower used equipment sales due to decreased operating lease maturities.

Net income was $86 million in the third quarter of 2023, flat compared to the same quarter of 2022, primarily due to favorable volumes in all regions, partially offset by margin compression in North America and higher risk costs.

The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $26.8 billion as of September 30, 2023 (of which retail was 65% and wholesale was 35%), up $5.6 billion compared to September 30, 2022 (up $4.7 billion on a constant currency basis).

At September 30, 2023, the receivables balance greater than 30 days past due as a percentage of receivables was 1.6% (1.3% as of September 30, 2022).

2023 Outlook

• Net sales⁽⁵⁾ up between 3% and 6% year on year including currency translation effects

• SG&A up no more than 5% vs 2022

• Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities⁽⁶⁾ between $1.0bn and $1.2bn

Adjusted diluted EPS is targeted at about $1.70.
