\u201cOur robust second quarter results highlighted the CNH Industrial team\u2019s focus on execution, as they excelled in both tactically ensuring we continued to meet customer commitments and making notable progress on our strategic initiatives. These considerations and strong price realization contributed to our impressive sales and adjusted diluted EPS growth, up 17.5% and 16.2% respectively. Pricing, volumes, and favorable mix offset significant cost escalation and gross profit increased $174 million year over year. Component shortages again impacted production, resulting in Free Cash Flow of $404 million which, though a tremendous sequential improvement, was still down almost 50% versus Q2 2021. Despite this, we continue to expect to deliver more than $1 billion of free cash flow for 2022. <\/em><\/p>\n

Looking forward, we have exciting new products to unveil at the upcoming trade shows and our Tech Day late in the year. Raven and our Precision team are making great strides and helping to drive Agriculture\u2019s growth, and Construction Equipment, bolstered by Sampierana, is significantly increasing its profitability. With this ever-stronger foundation, we expect to meet our Full Year guidance, but anticipate a decidedly less advantageous climate for the next several quarters. The strengthening US dollar is impacting soft commodity prices, risking further deterioration in farmer sentiment and income, while we see the likelihood of declining European industrial demand due to the war in Ukraine, energy risk and inflation. In the Americas, steady demand from cash crop customers indicates that the market may be more stable, but overall we are positioning for a recession. Our team has proven that, regardless of the environment, they will continue to execute our strategic priorities and deliver for our customers and shareholders.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

In North America, industry volume was flat for tractors over 140 HP and was down 16% for tractors under 140 HP; combines were up 3%. In Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA), tractor and combine demand was down 1% and 24%, respectively, with combine demand up when excluding Turkey and Russia. South America tractor demand was up 4% and combine demand was down 14%. Asia Pacific tractor demand was up 11% and combine demand was up 21%.<\/p>\n

Net sales<\/strong> were up 19%, due to favorable price realization and better mix, mostly driven by North America and South America.<\/p>\n

Gross profit margin<\/strong> was 23.4%, with Gross Profit $150 million higher than in Q2 2021, mainly due to better mix and favorable price realization primarily in North America and South America, partially offset by higher production and raw material costs across all regions.<\/p>\n

Adjusted EBIT<\/strong> was $663 million ($582 million for Q2 2021), with Adjusted EBIT margin at 14.0%. The $81 million increase was driven by higher gross profit, partially offset by higher SG&A costs, and increased R&D spend.<\/p>\n

Order book in Agriculture<\/strong> was up almost 5% year over year for tractors. Order book for combines was down almost 6%, with declines in North America and South America offset partially by growth in EMEA. At more than 3 times the pre-pandemic levels, order books remain strong in all regions and key products, with the company accepting orders only through Q1 2023 in most regions as cost uncertainties remain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Global industry volume for construction equipment decreased in both Heavy and Light sub-segments, with Heavy down 18% and Light down 12%, mostly driven by a 29% decrease in Light and Heavy equipment demand for Asia Pacific, particularly in China. Demand decreased 3% in North America, 3% in EMEA and increased 22% in South America.<\/p>\n

Net sales <\/strong>were up 10%, driven by price realization and contribution from the Sampierana business, partially offset by lower volume in all regions except South America.<\/p>\n

Gross profit margin<\/strong> was 13.8%, up 1.4% compared to Q2 2021, mainly due to higher volumes and favorable price realization, partially offset by unfavorable fixed costs absorption and higher freight and raw material costs.<\/p>\n

Adjusted EBIT<\/strong> increased $10 million due to favorable volume and mix and positive price realization, partially offset by higher freight and raw material costs and increased SG&A spend. Adjusted EBIT margin at 3.8%.<\/p>\n
