“In our first quarter as a pure play agricultural and construction equipment business, the CNH Industrial team delivered a solid performance that demonstrates the potential of a focused, customer-centric company. With redoubled commitment to customerinspired innovation, diligent operational execution, and improved product quality spurring margin expansion, we delivered net sales of Industrial Activities of nearly $4.2 billion, up 15% from last year on a constant currency basis. Alongside favorable product mix, this resulted in adjusted gross margin of 22.2%, up 60 basis points from Q1 2021 and adjusted EBIT of industrial activities increased by more than 9% to $429M. Order books remain exceptionally strong, up almost 40% in agriculture and 80% in construction, as demand remained healthy. Our thoughts are with our employees, customers, and dealers directly impacted by the war in Ukraine. We are all affected by the associated higher grain prices, potential food shortages, and rising energy costs. Despite these mostly unhelpful macro forces, we are maintaining our original 2022 guidance. We did not plan for positive cash flow in the first quarter, and as critical supply chain disruptions constrained our ability to ship finished goods, we ended the quarter with a cash outflow of $1.1 billion. Logistics pressures and semiconductor shortages, which are not unique to CNH Industrial, are expected to remain a headwind through the year, but I am confident in our team’s ability to navigate the current environment as evidenced by our results during the first quarter. With a robust slate of new products to be introduced, strong early returns from the Raven acquisition and our other Precision efforts, and a dedicated, tested leadership team ready to execute our ambitious plans, CNH Industrial is positioned to deliver on our strategic priorities and our short-term objectives.”
