Consolidated revenues for the first quarter of 2026 were $3.8 billion, flat year-over-year including favorable currency impacts

Reported net income of $10 million and adjusted net income(1) of $21 million

First quarter diluted earnings per share at $0.01

Full-year guidance reaffirmed

Basildon, UK - April 30, 2026 - CNH Industrial N.V. (NYSE: CNH) reported Net income for the three months ended March 31, 2026, of $10 million, with diluted earnings per share of $0.01, compared with Net income of $132 million and basic earnings per share and diluted earnings per share of $0.10 in Q1 2025. Adjusted net income(1) for the first quarter of 2026 was $21 million compared to $132 million for the first quarter of 2025.

Consolidated revenues for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026, were $3.83 billion and Net Sales of Industrial Activities were $3.17 billion, both flat with Q1 2025.

Net cash provided by operating activities was $35 million, and Free cash flow absorption of Industrial Activities was $589 million in Q1 2026.

Income tax expense was $4 million ($47 million in Q1 2025) with an effective tax rate (“ETR”) of 30.8% (29.0% in Q1 2025). The adjusted ETR(1) was 20.0% for the first quarter (29.0% in Q1 2025).

“While the first quarter reflected historically low North American agricultural equipment demand, a complex trade environment, and ongoing challenges in Brazil, our performance was consistent with expectations,” said Gerrit Marx, Chief Executive Officer of CNH. “The team stayed disciplined by managing production carefully, holding channel inventories steady, and delivering positive price and product cost performance through operational efficiency and quality improvements. We believe the industry is moving through the lowest period of the current agriculture cycle, assuming global trade routes are open. Our focus remains on positioning CNH for the market recovery ahead, supporting our customers with strong products and technology, and creating durable, long-term value.”

In North America, first quarter industry sales volume was down 7% year-over-year for tractors under 140 HP and fell 27% for tractors over 140 HP; combines were down 6%. In Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), tractor demand increased 2%, while combine demand decreased 5%. South America saw tractor demand down 8% and combines down 33%. In Asia Pacific, tractor demand increased 21%, while combine demand decreased 16%.

Agriculture net sales were flat year-over-year in the quarter at $2.6 billion, a result of positive foreign exchange impacts and favorable price realization, offset by lower volumes in all regions except EMEA.

Adjusted EBIT(1) decreased to $27 million from $139 million in Q1 2025, primarily due to lower volumes in North America and South America, the impact of tariffs, higher Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) and Research and development expenses (“R&D”) and lower joint venture results. SG&A expenses were impacted by higher variable compensation and labor inflation. R&D expenses represented 7.9% of sales in Q1 2026 (6.3% in Q1 2025).

 

Construction
($ million)		Q1 2026		Q1 2025		Change		Change at c.c.(2)
Net sales		574		591		(3)%		(6)%
Adjusted EBIT(1)		(28)		14		(300)%
Adjusted EBIT margin(1)		(4.9)%		2.4%		(730) bps

Global industry sales volume for construction equipment increased 7% year-over-year in the first quarter for Heavy equipment and 5% for Light equipment. Aggregated demand increased 4% in North America, 6% in EMEA, 7% in Asia Pacific, and was flat in South America.

Construction net sales decreased 3% in the quarter to $574 million, driven by lower volumes in South America and North America.

Adjusted EBIT(1) decreased to $(28) million from $14 million in Q1 2025, primarily due to the impact of tariffs, higher SG&A expenses and lower volumes, only partially offset by pricing. SG&A expenses were impacted by trade show marketing costs, higher variable compensation, and labor inflation.

 

Financial Services
($ million)		Q1 2026		Q1 2025		Change		Change at c.c.(2)
Revenues		646		651		(1)%		(5)%
Net income		74		90		(18)%
Equity at quarter-end		2,925		2,815		+110
Retail loan originations		2,152		2,393		(241)

Financial Services revenues decreased 1% in the quarter, driven by lower volumes across all regions except APAC, reduced equipment sales due to fewer operating lease maturities, and lower yields in EMEA, partially offset by favorable currency translation and higher yields in South America and North America.

Net income was $74 million in the quarter, a decrease of $16 million versus Q1 2025, driven by higher risk costs in Brazil and lower volumes across all regions except APAC. Results were partially offset by interest margin improvements in all regions except EMEA.

The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was $28.0 billion as of March 31, 2026 (of which retail was 71% and wholesale was 29%), flat compared to March 31, 2025 (down $1.0 billion on a constant currency basis(2)).

At March 31, 2026, the receivable balance greater than 30 days past due as a percentage of receivables was 3.5% (2.3% as of March 31, 2025), due to economic and environmental factors impacting farmers, specifically in South America.

2026 Outlook

Farmers continue to face challenging market dynamics, including low commodity prices, high input costs, and an uncertain trade environment. CNH’s Agriculture segment has and will continue to respond to these market dynamics by maintaining low production levels, working with its dealer network to lower channel inventory, pursuing cost efficiencies, and managing rapid changes in trade policies. CNH’s Construction segment will continue to focus on quality, manufacturing efficiencies, and tariff cost offset opportunities.

While rapid changes in tariff and transportation costs create headwinds for CNH, the Company is confident that its sales execution, cost discipline, and manufacturing performance will allow it to deliver the forecast previously communicated.

Consequently, the Company is reaffirming its 2026 outlook:

• Agriculture segment net sales down 5% to flat year-over-year, including +2% currency translation effects
• Agriculture segment adjusted EBIT margin between 4.5% and 5.5%
• Construction segment net sales about flat year-over-year, including +1% currency translation effects
• Construction segment adjusted EBIT margin between 1.0% and 2.0%
• Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities(3) between $150 million and $350 million
• Adjusted diluted EPS(3) between $0.35 to $0.45

• The consolidated financial statements within this release should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes for the year ended December 31, 2025, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K. These Consolidated Statements of Operations represent the consolidation of all CNH Industrial N.V. subsidiaries.
• Industrial Activities represents the enterprise without Financial Services. Industrial Activities include the Company's Agriculture, Construction, and other corporate assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses not reflected within Financial Services.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

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.

CNH’s non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:

• Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities under U.S. GAAP: is defined as net income (loss) before the following items: Income taxes, Financial Services’ results, Industrial Activities’ interest expenses, net, foreign exchange gains/losses, finance and non-service component of pension and other post-employment benefit costs, restructuring expenses, and certain non-recurring items. In particular, non-recurring items are specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities.
• Adjusted EBIT Margin of Industrial Activities: is computed by dividing Adjusted EBIT of Industrial Activities by Net Sales of Industrial Activities.
• Adjusted Net Income (Loss): is defined as net income (loss), less restructuring charges and non-recurring items, after tax.
• Adjusted Diluted EPS: is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. by a weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period that takes into consideration potential common shares outstanding deriving from the CNH share-based payment awards, when inclusion is not anti-dilutive. When we provide guidance for adjusted diluted EPS, we do not provide guidance on an earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end.
• Adjusted Income Tax (Expense) Benefit: is defined as income taxes less the tax effect of restructuring expenses and non-recurring items, and non-recurring tax charges or benefits.
• Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (“Adjusted ETR”): is computed by dividing a) adjusted income taxes by b) income (loss) before income taxes and equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates, less restructuring expenses and non-recurring items.
• 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.
• Free Cash Flow of Industrial Activities (“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.
• Change excl. FX or Constant Currency: CNH discusses the fluctuations in revenues on a constant currency basis by applying the prior year average exchange rates to current period’s revenues expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
