LONDON — CNH Industrial N.V. today announced consolidated revenues of $6,753 million for the second quarter 2016, down 2.9% compared to the second quarter 2015. Net sales of Industrial Activities were $6,450 million in Q2 2016, down 2.8% compared to the same period in 2015. Reported net income was $129 million in the second quarter, which includes an additional non-tax deductible charge of $49 million following finalization of the European Commission settlement on the truck competition investigation. Adjusted net income was $216 million for the quarter.

Operating profit of Industrial Activities was $453 million for the second quarter, a $52 million increase compared to the same period in 2015, with an operating margin of 7.0%, up 1.0 p.p. compared to the second quarter 2015. “Our second quarter results were solid; we continued to demonstrate our ability to execute across the breadth of our business and geographic portfolio despite the large disparity of demand conditions prevalent in the capital goods sector,” said Richard Tobin, Chief Executive Officer of CNH Industrial. “Our ability to increase operating profit in the Agricultural Equipment segment and our trend of improved results in Commercial Vehicles solidify our belief that the benefits of our efficiency plan on product cost and quality are taking hold.”

Excluding the impact of the additional non-tax deductible charge for the EC settlement, the effective tax rate was 37% for the quarter, resulting in a 46% effective tax rate year-to-date. The company’s long-term effective tax rate objective remains unchanged at between 34-36%.

Net industrial debt was $2.1 billion at June 30, 2016, after the payment of $0.2 billion in dividends to shareholders in April 2016. The $0.3 billion improvement compared to March 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to the $0.6 billion operating cash flow generated from Industrial Activities in the second quarter 2016. Total debt of $26.3 billion at June 30, 2016, was $0.5 billion higher than at March 31, 2016 primarily as a result of the issuance of new notes for €550 million in the second quarter, and in line with Dec. 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2016, available liquidity (including cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $5.8 billion, and undrawn committed facilities of $3.0 billion) was $8.8 billion, up $0.6 billion compared to March 31, 2016 and down $0.5 billion compared to Dec. 31, 2015.

Agricultural Equipment’s net sales decreased 7.5% for the second quarter 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 (down 6.3% on a constant currency basis), as a result of lower industry volume, unfavorable product mix in the row crop sector in NAFTA and unfavorable industry volume in the small grain sector in EMEA. Net sales increased in APAC, mainly driven by higher volume in Australia. Sales in specialty tractors and harvesters in EMEA remain strong, and in LATAM sugar cane harvester demand offset the industry decline for tractors.

Operating profit was $301 million for the second quarter ($263 million in the second quarter 2015). The increase was primarily due to positive pricing and cost containment actions, including material cost reductions, and favorable foreign exchange impact. Operating margin increased 2.0 p.p. to 10.7%.

Construction Equipment’s net sales decreased 19.6% for the second quarter 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 (down 18.4% on a constant currency basis), due to negative industry volumes primarily in the heavy product class in all regions.

Operating profit was $17 million for the second quarter 2016 ($35 million in the second quarter 2015). Operating margin decreased 1.8 p.p. to 2.9%, as a result of lower volumes in NAFTA and negative industrial absorption partially offset by lower product cost and other cost containment actions. Second quarter production was 13% lower than the previous year to balance channel inventory with current demand conditions.
