NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
CNH Industrial Capital LLC and its primary operating subsidiaries, including New Holland Credit Company, LLC (“New Holland Credit”), CNH Industrial Capital America LLC (“CNH Industrial Capital America”), and CNH Industrial Capital Canada Ltd. (“CNH Industrial Capital Canada”) (collectively, “CNH Industrial Capital” or the “Company”), are each a subsidiary of CNH Industrial America LLC (“CNH Industrial America”), which is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CNH Industrial N.V. (“CNHI” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “CNH Industrial”). CNH Industrial America and CNH Industrial Canada Ltd. (collectively, “CNH Industrial North America”) design, manufacture, and sell agricultural and construction equipment. CNH Industrial Capital provides financial services for CNH Industrial North America dealers and end-use customers primarily located in the United States and Canada.
CNHI is incorporated in and under the laws of The Netherlands. CNHI has its corporate seat in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, and its principal office in London, England. The common shares of CNHI are listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CNHI,” as well as on the Mercato Telematico Azionario managed by Borsa Italiana S.p.A.
The Company has prepared the accompanying consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information, which should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. Certain financial information that is normally included in annual financial statements prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP, which is not required for interim reporting purposes, has been condensed or omitted. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of our interim unaudited financial statements have been reflected.
The consolidated financial statements include the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The consolidated financial statements are expressed in U.S. dollars. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company’s subsidiaries in which the Company has a controlling financial interest and reflect the noncontrolling interests of the minority owners of the subsidiaries that are not fully owned for the periods presented, as applicable. A controlling financial interest may exist based on ownership of a majority of the voting interest of a subsidiary, or based on the Company’s determination that it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The primary beneficiary of a VIE is the party that has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the entity. The Company assesses whether it is the primary beneficiary on an ongoing basis, as prescribed by the accounting guidance on the consolidation of VIEs. The consolidated status of the VIEs with which the Company is involved may change as a result of such reassessments.
The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Significant estimates in these consolidated financial statements include the allowance for credit losses and residual values of equipment on operating leases. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 2: NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2018
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASC 606) (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. The new standard requires an entity to recognize revenue upon transfer of control of goods or services to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration that the entity expects to receive. This new revenue recognition model defines a five-step process to achieve this objective. The new standard also requires additional disclosures to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts with customers. In August 2015, the FASB amended the effective date to be the first quarter of fiscal year 2018 with early adoption permitted in 2017. The FASB subsequently issued several amendments in 2016 clarifying various aspects of ASU 2014-09, including revenue transactions that involve a third party, goods or services that are immaterial in the context of the contract, licensing arrangements, certain transition practical expedients, disclosure of performance obligation and provisions for losses on construction-type and production-type contracts. Entities have the option to apply the new guidance under a retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented, or a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new guidance recognized at the date of initial application within the consolidated statement of changes in equity.
The Company has adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The adoption did not impact the timing or measurement of the Company’s revenue recognition as it is consistent with its current accounting treatment for contracts within the scope of the new ASU. The adoption did impact the timing of payments due from CNH Industrial North America. The impact to the consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2017 was to decrease receivables and increase affiliated accounts receivable by $40,188, respectively. The impact to consolidated statement of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2017 is noted below.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (“ASU 2016-18”) that changes the presentation of restricted cash and cash equivalents on the statement of cash flows. Restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents will be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 on a retrospective basis as of January 1, 2018.

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost (“ASU 2017-07”). The amendment in this update requires that an employer disaggregate the service cost component from other components of net benefit cost. The amendments also provide explicit guidance on how to present the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost in the income statement and allow only service cost component of net benefit cost to be eligible for capitalization. ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (“ASU 2016-01”), which amends ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments – Overall. This ASU changes the treatment for available-for-sale equity investments by recognizing unrealized fair value changes directly in net income, and no longer in other comprehensive income. The ASU is effective January 1, 2018, with the cumulative-effect adjustment from initially applying the new standard recognized in the consolidated statement of financial position as of January 1, 2018. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (“ASU 2016-15”). This standard provides guidance clarification to reduce diversity in classification of certain cash flow payments and receipts in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2017 on a retrospective transition basis to each period presented, and may be early adopted. The Company adopted this standard on January 1, 2018, which did not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes ASC 840, Leases. The ASU’s most prominent change is the requirement for lessees to recognize leased assets and liabilities classified as operating leases under previous GAAP. The ASU does not significantly change the lessee’s recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Lessors’ accounting under the ASC is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. ASU 2016-02 also will require disclosures designed to give financial statement users information on the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years, but early adoption is permitted. The ASU requires a modified retrospective transition approach and provides certain optional transition relief. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which establishes ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU introduced a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”), which amends ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The purpose of this ASU is to better align a company’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships, simplify the hedge accounting requirements and improve the disclosures of hedging arrangements. ASU 2017-12 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within these years. Early adoption is permitted in any interim period or fiscal year before the effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the

adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2018-02”), which amends ASC 202, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income. In December 2017, the U.S. Government enacted new tax legislation (tax reform). Included in the provisions of tax reform is a reduction of the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 21 percent. Accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. require that deferred taxes are remeasured to the new corporate tax rate in the period the legislation is enacted. The deferred tax adjustment is recorded in the provision for income taxes, including items for which the tax effects were originally recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). This treatment results in the items in OCI reflecting a disproportionate tax rate, a result often referred to as stranded tax effects. This ASU allows a reclassification from accumulated OCI to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from tax reform. The ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018 including interim periods within those fiscal years, but early adoption is permitted. The ASU can be adopted at the beginning of an interim or annual period or retrospectively to each period affected by tax reform. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.

Restricted Receivables and Securitization
As part of its overall funding strategy, the Company periodically transfers certain receivables into VIEs that are special purpose entities (“SPEs”) as part of its asset-backed securitization (“ABS”) programs.
SPEs utilized in the securitization programs differ from other entities included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements because the assets they hold are legally isolated from the Company’s assets. For bankruptcy analysis purposes, the Company has sold the receivables to the SPEs in a true sale and the SPEs are separate legal entities. Upon transfer of the receivables to the SPEs, the receivables and certain cash flows derived from them become restricted for use in meeting obligations to the SPEs’ creditors. The SPEs have ownership of cash balances that also have restrictions for the benefit of the SPEs’ investors. The Company’s interests in the SPEs’ receivables are subordinate to the interests of third-party investors. None of the receivables that are directly or indirectly sold or transferred in any of these transactions are available to pay the Company’s creditors until all obligations of the SPE have been fulfilled or the receivables are repurchased from the SPE.
The secured borrowings related to the restricted receivables are obligations that are payable as the receivables are collected. The following table summarizes the restricted receivables as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017:
| | | | | | |
| | March 31, | | December 31, |
| | 2018 | | 2017 |
Retail | | $ | 5,845,152 | | $ | 6,042,186 |
Wholesale | | | 2,727,744 | | | 2,724,281 |
Total restricted receivables | | $ | 8,572,896 | | $ | 8,766,467 |
Within the U.S. retail receivables securitization programs, qualifying retail receivables are sold to limited purpose, bankruptcy remote SPEs. In turn, these SPEs either establish separate trusts to which the receivables are transferred in exchange for proceeds from asset-backed securities issued by the trusts or pledge the receivables as collateral in exchange for proceeds from a committed asset-backed facility. In Canada, the receivables are transferred directly to the trusts. These trusts were determined to be VIEs. In its role as servicer, the Company has the power to direct the trusts’ activities. Through its retained interests, the Company has an obligation to absorb certain losses, or the right to receive certain benefits, that could potentially be significant to the trusts. Consequently, the Company has consolidated these retail trusts.
With regard to the wholesale receivable securitization programs, the Company sells eligible receivables on a revolving basis to structured master trust facilities, which are limited-purpose, bankruptcy-remote SPEs. These trusts were determined to be VIEs. In its role as servicer, CNH Industrial Capital has the power to direct the trusts’ activities. Through its retained interests, the Company provides security to investors in the event that cash collections from the receivables are not sufficient to make principal and interest payments on the securities. Consequently, CNH Industrial Capital has consolidated these wholesale trusts.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The allowance for credit losses is the Company’s estimate of losses for receivables owned by the Company and consists of two components, depending on whether the receivable has been individually identified as being impaired. The first component of the allowance for credit losses covers the receivables specifically reviewed by management for which the Company has determined it is probable that it will not collect all the principal and interest payments as per the terms of the contract. Receivables are individually reviewed for impairment based on, among other items, amounts outstanding, days past due and prior collection history. These receivables are subject to impairment

(Unaudited)
measurement at the loan level based either on the fair value of the collateral for collateral-dependent receivables or on the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the receivables’ effective interest rate.
The second component of the allowance for credit losses covers all receivables that have not been individually reviewed for impairment. The allowance for these receivables is based on aggregated portfolio evaluations, generally by financial product. The allowance for retail and wholesale credit losses is based on loss forecast models that consider a variety of factors that include, but are not limited to, historical loss experience, collateral value, portfolio balance and delinquency. The loss forecast models are updated on a quarterly basis. In addition, qualitative factors that are not fully captured in the loss forecast models, including industry trends, and macroeconomic factors are considered in the evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.
Charge offs of principal amounts of receivables outstanding are deducted from the allowance at the point when it is estimated that amounts due are deemed uncollectible.
The Company’s allowance for credit losses is segregated into three portfolio segments: retail, wholesale and wholesale factoring. A portfolio segment is the level at which the Company develops a systematic methodology for determining its allowance for credit losses. The retail segment includes retail notes and finance lease receivables. The wholesale segment includes wholesale financing to CNH Industrial North America dealers and the wholesale factoring segment represents the short-term receivables purchased from Iveco Argentina S.A. (“Iveco Argentina”).
Further, the Company evaluates its retail and wholesale portfolio segments by class of receivable: United States and Canada. Typically, the Company’s receivables within a geographic area have similar risk profiles and methods for assessing and monitoring risk. These classes align with management reporting.

Utilizing an internal credit scoring model, which considers customers’ attributes, prior credit history and each retail transaction’s attributes, the Company assigns a credit quality rating to each retail customer, by specific transaction, as part of the retail underwriting process. This rating is used in setting the terms on the transaction, including the interest rate. A description of the general characteristics of the customers’ risk grades is as follows:
Titanium — Customers from whom the Company expects no loss or collection effort.
Platinum — Customers from whom the Company expects minimal, if any, loss or collection effort.
Gold, Silver, Bronze — Customers defined as those with the potential for loss and collection effort.

As part of the ongoing monitoring of the credit quality of the wholesale portfolio, the Company utilizes an internal credit scoring model that assigns a risk grade for each dealer. The scoring model considers the strength of the dealer’s financial condition and payment history. The Company considers the dealers’ ratings in the quarterly credit allowance analysis. A description of the general characteristics of the dealer risk grades is as follows:
Grades A and B —Includes receivables due from dealers that have significant capital strength, moderate leverage, stable earnings and growth, and excellent payment performance.
Grade C —Includes receivables due from dealers with moderate credit risk. Dealers of this grade are differentiated from higher grades on a basis of leverage or payment performance.
Grade D —Includes receivables due from dealers with additional credit risk. These dealers require additional monitoring due to their weaker financial condition or payment performance.

Recognition of income is generally suspended when management determines that collection of future finance income is not probable or when an account becomes 120 days delinquent, whichever occurs first. Interest accrual is resumed if the receivable becomes contractually current and collection becomes probable. Previously suspended income is recognized at that time. The receivables on nonaccrual status as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are as follows:

Troubled Debt Restructurings
A restructuring of a receivable constitutes a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) when the lender grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a borrower experiencing financial difficulties. As a collateral-based lender, the Company typically will repossess collateral in lieu of restructuring receivables. As such, for retail receivables, concessions are typically provided based on bankruptcy court proceedings. For wholesale receivables, concessions granted may include extended contract maturities, inclusion of interest-only periods, modification of a contractual interest rate to a below market interest rate and waiving of interest and principal.
TDRs are reviewed along with other receivables as part of management’s ongoing evaluation of the adequacy of the allowance for credit losses. The allowance for credit losses attributable to TDRs is based on the most probable source of repayment, which is normally the liquidation of collateral. In determining collateral value, the Company estimates the current fair market value of the equipment collateral and considers credit enhancements such as additional collateral and third-party guarantees.
Before removing a receivable from TDR classification, a review of the borrower is conducted. If concerns exist about the future ability of the borrower to meet its obligations based on a credit review, the TDR classification is not removed from the receivable.
As of March 31, 2018, the Company had 279 retail and finance lease contracts classified as TDRs where a court has determined the concession. The pre-modification value of these contracts was $8,740 and the post-modification value was $7,921. Additionally, the Company had 393 accounts with a balance of $21,325 undergoing bankruptcy proceedings where a concession has not yet been determined. As of March 31, 2017, the Company had 247 retail and finance lease contracts classified as TDRs where a court has determined the concession. The pre-modification value of these contracts was $5,200 and the post-modification value was $4,542. Additionally, the Company had 433 accounts with a balance of $20,781 undergoing bankruptcy proceedings where a concession has not yet been determined. As the outcome of the bankruptcy cases is determined by a court based on available assets, subsequent re-defaults are unusual and were not material for retail and finance lease contracts that were modified in a TDR during the previous 12 months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
As of March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company’s wholesale TDRs were immaterial.
NOTE 5: CREDIT FACILITIES AND DEBT
On February 27, 2018, the Company amended one of its unsecured revolving credit facilities, increasing the total commitment amount from C$200,000 ($156,586) to C$300,000 ($234,879).

NOTE 6: INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were 23.3% and 32.0%, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the passage of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Act”), passed on December 22, 2017, which reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. The Company’s provision for income taxes is based on an estimated tax rate for the year applied to the year-to-date federal, state and foreign income. The 2018 estimated annual tax rate is expected to be higher than the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 21% as Canadian profits are subjected to a higher tax rate.
The U.S. Tax Act changed many aspects of U.S. corporate income taxation, including reducing the corporate tax rate, implementing a quasi-territorial tax system and imposing a tax on deemed repatriated earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. The Company reasonably estimated the effects of the U.S. Tax Act in the three months ended December 31, 2017. Those provisional estimates were not changed during the three months ended March 31, 2018. During 2018, however, the Company will continue assessing its previously recorded impacts of U.S. Tax Act. Any revisions to the Company’s prior estimates will be treated in accordance with the measurement period guidance outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118.
NOTE 7: FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company may elect to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. This fair value option must be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis with changes in fair value reported in earnings. The election can be made at the acquisition of an eligible financial asset, financial liability, or firm commitment or when certain specified reconsideration events occur. The fair value election may not be revoked once made. The Company did not elect the fair value measurement option for eligible items.
Fair-Value Hierarchy
U.S. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s internally-developed market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:
Level 1 —Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
Level 2 —Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
Level 3 —Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
This hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available.
Determination of Fair Value
When available, the Company uses quoted market prices to determine fair value and classifies such items in Level 1. In some cases where a market price is not available, the Company will make use of observable market-based inputs to calculate fair value, in which case the items are classified in Level 2.
If quoted or observable market prices are not available, fair value is based upon internally developed valuation techniques that use, where possible, current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as

(Unaudited)
interest rates, currency rates, or yield curves. Items valued using such internally generated valuation techniques are classified according to the lowest level input or value driver that is significant to the valuation. Thus, an item may be classified in Level 3 even though there may be some significant inputs that are readily observable.
The following section describes the valuation methodologies used by the Company to measure various financial instruments at fair value, including an indication of the level in the fair value hierarchy in which each instrument is generally classified. Where appropriate, the description includes details of the valuation models and the key inputs to those models, as well as any significant assumptions.
Derivatives
The Company utilizes derivative instruments to mitigate its exposure to interest rate and foreign currency exposures. Derivatives used as hedges are effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged and are designated as a hedge at the inception of the derivative contract. The Company does not hold or issue derivative or other financial instruments for speculative purposes. The credit risk for the interest rate hedges is reduced through diversification among counterparties, utilizing mandatory termination clauses and/or collateral support agreements. Derivative instruments are generally classified in Level 2 or 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The cash flows underlying all derivative contracts were recorded in operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Interest Rate Derivatives
The Company has entered into interest rate derivatives in order to manage interest rate exposures arising in the normal course of business. Interest rate derivatives that have been designated in cash flow hedging relationships are being used by the Company to mitigate the risk of rising interest rates related to debt and anticipated issuance of fixed-rate debt in future periods. Gains and losses on these instruments, to the extent that the hedge relationship has been effective, are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in interest expense over the period in which the Company recognizes interest expense on the related debt. Ineffectiveness recognized related to these hedging relationships was not significant for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017. These amounts are recorded in “Other expenses” in the consolidated statements of income. As of March 31, 2018, the maximum length of time over which the Company is hedging its interest rate exposure through the use of derivative instruments designated in cash flow hedge relationships is 50 months. As of March 31, 2018, the after-tax losses deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) that will be recognized in interest expense over the next 12 months are approximately $424.
The Company also enters into interest rate derivatives with substantially similar economic terms that are not designated as hedging instruments to mitigate interest rate risk related to the Company’s committed asset-backed facilities. These facilities require the Company to enter into interest rate derivatives. To ensure that these transactions do not result in the Company being exposed to this risk, the Company enters into an offsetting position. Unrealized and realized gains and losses resulting from fair value changes in these instruments are recognized directly in income and were insignificant for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017.
Most of the Company’s interest rate derivatives are considered Level 2. The fair market value of these derivatives is calculated using market data input for forecasted benchmark interest rates and can be compared to actively traded derivatives. If the future notional amount of the Company’s interest rate derivatives is not known in advance, the derivatives are considered Level 3 derivatives. The fair market value of these derivatives is calculated using market data input and a forecasted future notional balance. The total notional amount of the Company’s interest rate derivatives was approximately $2,852,088 and $3,143,737 at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. The four-month average notional amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were $2,985,203 and $3,048,008, respectively.

Foreign Exchange Contracts
The Company uses forward contracts to hedge certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. Such derivatives are considered economic hedges and are not designated as hedging instruments. The changes in the fair value of these instruments are recognized directly as income in “Other expenses” and are expected to offset the foreign exchange gains or losses on the exposures being managed.
All of the Company’s foreign exchange derivatives are considered Level 2 as the fair value is calculated using market data input and can be compared to actively traded derivatives.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Overview
Organization
We offer a range of financial products and services to the dealers and customers of CNH Industrial North America. The principal products offered are retail financing for the purchase or lease of new and used CNH Industrial North America equipment and wholesale financing to CNH Industrial North America dealers. Wholesale financing consists primarily of floor plan financing as well as financing equipment used in dealer‑owned rental yards, parts inventory and working capital needs. In addition, we purchase equipment from dealers that is leased to retail customers under operating lease agreements.
Trends and Economic Conditions
Our business is closely related to the agricultural and construction equipment industries because we offer financing products for such equipment. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, CNH Industrial’s net sales of agricultural equipment and net sales of construction equipment generated in NAFTA were $771 million and $322 million, respectively, representing increases of 7.1% and 20.6% from the same period in 2017, respectively.
In general, our receivable mix between agricultural and construction equipment financing directionally reflects the mix of equipment sales by CNH Industrial North America. As such, changes in the agricultural industry or with respect to our agricultural equipment borrowers (“farmers”) may affect the majority of our portfolio.
Net income was $39.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018, compared to $38.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase in net income was primarily due to lower depreciation of equipment on operating leases and a decrease in U.S. federal income taxes following the enactment of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “U.S. Tax Act”), partially offset by a reduced net interest margin. The receivables balance greater than 30 days past due as a percentage of managed receivables was 0.8% at March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017.
Macroeconomic issues for us include the uncertainty of governmental actions in respect to monetary, fiscal and legislative policies, changes in demand and pricing for used equipment, capital market disruptions, trade agreements and financial regulatory reform. Significant volatility in the price of certain commodities could also impact CNH Industrial North America’s and our results.
Results of Operations
Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2017
Revenues
Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2018 | | 2017 | | $ Change | | % Change | |
Interest income on retail notes and finance leases | | $ | 48,630 | | $ | 50,813 | | $ | (2,183) | | (4.3) | % |
Interest income on wholesale notes | | | 15,569 | | | 16,016 | | | (447) | | (2.8) | |
Interest and other income from affiliates | | | 95,015 | | | 96,463 | | | (1,448) | | (1.5) | |
Rental income on operating leases | | | 61,116 | | | 63,194 | | | (2,078) | | (3.3) | |
Other income | | | 6,041 | | | 6,348 | | | (307) | | (4.8) | |
Total revenues | | $ | 226,371 | | $ | 232,834 | | $ | (6,463) | | (2.8) | % |
Revenues totaled $226.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $232.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The quarter-over-quarter decrease was driven by a lower average portfolio, partially offset by a higher average yield. The average yield for the managed portfolio was 7.4% and 7.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
Interest income on retail notes and finance leases for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $48.6 million, representing a decrease of $2.2 million from the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.7 million unfavorable impact from lower average earning assets, partially offset by a $1.5 million favorable impact from higher interest rates.
Interest income on wholesale notes for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $15.6 million, representing a decrease of $0.4 million from the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to lower interest rates.
Interest and other income from affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $95.0 million compared to $96.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Compensation from CNH Industrial North America for retail low‑rate financing programs and interest waiver programs offered to customers was $39.4 million and $38.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, compensation from CNH Industrial North America for wholesale marketing programs was $34.1 million, a decrease of $6.2 million from the same period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to changes in pricing strategy. For select operating leases, compensation from CNH Industrial North America for the difference between market rental rates and the amounts paid by customers was $15.6 million and $17.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to lower average earning assets. Also included in interest and other income from affiliates for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $5.3 million of wholesale factoring income.
Rental income on operating leases for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $61.1 million, representing a decrease of $2.1 million from the same period in 2017. The decrease was primarily due to a $3.8 million unfavorable impact from lower average earning assets, partially offset by a $1.7 million favorable impact from higher interest rates.
Other income for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was $6.0 million, representing a decrease of $0.3 million from the three months ended March 31, 2017.
Expenses
Expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | 2018 | | 2017 | | $ Change | | % Change | |
Total interest expense | | $ | 78,428 | | $ | 74,728 | | $ | 3,700 | | 5.0 | % |
Fees charged by affiliates | | | 11,955 | | | 11,699 | | | 256 | | 2.2 | |
Provision for credit losses | | | 11,815 | | | 12,481 | | | (666) | | (5.3) | |
Depreciation of equipment on operating leases | | | 61,685 | | | 68,169 | | | (6,484) | | (9.5) | |
Other expenses | | | 10,565 | | | 9,327 | | | 1,238 | | 13.3 | |
Total expenses | | $ | 174,448 | | $ | 176,404 | | $ | (1,956) | | (1.1) | % |
Interest expense totaled $78.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $74.7 million for the same period in 2017. The increase was primarily due to a $8.0 million unfavorable impact from higher average interest rates, partially offset by a $4.3 million favorable impact from lower average total debt. The average debt cost was 2.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to 2.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2017.
The provision for credit losses was $11.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $12.5 million for the same period in 2017. The decrease in 2018 was primarily due to lower retail losses.
Depreciation of equipment on operating leases was $61.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $68.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease was primarily due to lower depreciation required on a decreased quarter-over-quarter operating lease portfolio.
Other expenses were $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to $9.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The increase was primarily due to foreign exchange.
The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 was 23.3%, compared to 32.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2017. The decrease in the effective tax rate is primarily due to the passage of the U.S. Tax Act, passed on December 22, 2017, which reduced the U.S. corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.
Receivables and Equipment on Operating Leases Originated and Held
Receivables and equipment on operating lease originations for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Total originations | | $ | 2,484,565 | | $ | 2,383,958 | | $ | 100,607 | | 4.2 | % | |
The quarter-over-quarter decrease in operating lease originations was primarily due to less demand for used equipment.
Total receivables and equipment on operating leases held as of March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | |

Total receivables and equipment on operating leases | | $ | 11,833,041 | | $ | 12,282,230 | | $ | 12,462,207 | |
The total retail receivables balance 30 days or more past due as a percentage of the retail receivables was 1.2%, 1.1% and 1.2% at March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. The total wholesale receivables balance 30 days or more past due as a percentage of the wholesale receivables was not significant at March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 or March 31, 2017. Total retail receivables on nonaccrual status, which represent receivables for which we have ceased accruing finance income, were $41.0 million at March 31, 2018 and $43.5 million at December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017, respectively. Total wholesale receivables on nonaccrual status were $39.1 million, $43.5 million and $23.8 million at March 31, 2018, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2017.
Total receivable write‑off amounts and recoveries, by product, for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | |
| | 2018 | | 2017 | |
Write-offs: | | | | | | | |
Retail | | $ | 10,510 | | $ | 12,091 | |

Total write-offs | | | 10,697 | | | 12,879 | |

Write-offs, net of recoveries: | | | | | | | |
Retail | | | 9,501 | | | 11,057 | |
Wholesale | | | 129 | | | 781 | |
Total write-offs, net of recoveries | | $ | 9,630 | | $ | 11,838 | |
Our allowance for credit losses on all receivables financed totaled $81.1 million at March 31, 2018, $79.2 million at December 31, 2017 and $85.2 million at March 31, 2017.
The allowance is subject to a quarterly evaluation based on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical loss experience by product category, portfolio duration, delinquency trends, economic conditions (in particular, those conditions directly affecting the profitability and financial strength of our customers), collateral value and credit risk quality. No single factor determines the adequacy of the allowance. Different assumptions or changes in economic conditions would result in changes to the allowance for credit losses and the provision for credit losses. These qualitative factors are subjective and require a degree of management judgment.
We believe our allowance is sufficient to provide for losses in our receivable portfolio as of March 31, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following discussion of liquidity and capital resources principally focuses on our statements of cash flows, balance sheets and capitalization. CNH Industrial Capital’s current funding strategy is to maintain sufficient liquidity and flexible access to a wide variety of financial instruments and funding options.
In the past, securitization has been one of our most economical sources of funding and, therefore, the majority of our originated receivables are securitized, with the cash generated from such receivables utilized to repay the related debt or purchase new receivables.
In addition, we have secured and unsecured facilities, commercial paper, unsecured bonds, affiliate borrowings and cash to fund our liquidity needs. To add more diversity to our funding structure, we established a commercial paper program during 2017 and continued to access the unsecured bond market. As of March 31, 2018, our outstanding unsecured senior notes totaled $3.1 billion and our outstanding commercial paper totaled $192 million. We expect continued changes to our funding profile, with less reliance on the securitization market.
Cash Flows
For the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, our cash flows were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | | | | | |
| | 2018 | | 2017 | |
Cash flows from (used in): | | | | | | | |
Operating activities | | $ | 246,253 | | $ | 145,562 | |
Investing activities | | | 307,648 | | | 233,742 | |
Financing activities | | | (656,004) | | | (579,424) | |
Net cash decrease | | $ | (102,103) | | $ | (200,120) | |
Operating activities in the three months ended March 31, 2018 generated cash of $246 million, resulting primarily from net income of $40 million, adjusted by depreciation and amortization of $62 million, provision for credit losses of $12 million and cash from changes in working capital of $154 million, partially offset by $22 million in deferred tax benefits. The increase in cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily due to a $124 million increase in cash from changes in working capital and a $1 million increase in net income, partially offset by a $18 million increase in deferred income tax benefit and a $6 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense
Investing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2018 generated cash of $308 million, resulting primarily from a net reduction in receivables of $307 million and $2 million in net expenditures for equipment on operating leases, partially offset by $1 million in expenditures for property, equipment and software. The increase in cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily due to a $40 million reduction in net expenditures for equipment on operating leases and a $35 million net decrease in receivables acquired, partially offset by a $1 million decrease in expenditures for property, equipment and software.
Financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2018 used cash of $656 million, resulting primarily from net cash paid on affiliated debt of $377 million, net cash paid on long-term debt and short-term borrowings of $241 million and $18 million, respectively, and $20 million in dividends paid to CNH Industrial America. The increase in cash used in financing activities in the three months ended March 31, 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 was primarily due to increases in net cash paid on affiliated debt and short-term borrowings of $715 million and $18 million, respectively, partially offset by a $601 million decrease in net cash paid on long-term debt and lower dividends of $55 million paid to CNH Industrial America.
Securitization
CNH Industrial Capital and its predecessor entities have been securitizing receivables since 1992. This market is a cost‑effective financing source and allows access to a wide investor base. CNH Industrial Capital has completed public and private issuances of asset‑backed securities in both the U.S. and Canada and, as of March 31, 2018, the amounts outstanding were approximately $4.7 billion. Our securitizations are treated as financing arrangements for accounting purposes.
Committed Asset‑Backed Facilities
CNH Industrial Capital has committed asset‑backed facilities with several banks or through their commercial paper conduit programs. Committed asset‑backed facilities for the U.S. and Canada totaled $2.9 billion at March 31, 2018, with original borrowing maturities of up to two years. The unused availability under the facilities varies during the year, depending on origination volume and the refinancing of receivables with term securitization transactions and/or other financing. At March 31, 2018, approximately $0.6 billion of funding was available for use under these facilities.
Unsecured Facilities and Debt
As of March 31, 2018, we had bank arrangements that included a fully-drawn committed C$300 million ($233 million) unsecured revolving credit facility with a final maturity in June 2020 and uncommitted credit lines totaling $300 million, of which $200 million is outstanding with final maturities in April 2018 and June 2018. These
bank arrangements also included committed but undrawn, unsecured revolving credit facilities totaling $500 million with final maturities in June 2019, March 2020 and June 2020, respectively. Included in the available unsecured revolving credit facilities is $192 million maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for commercial paper borrowings.
As of March 31, 2018, our outstanding unsecured senior notes were as follows (dollars in thousands):
| | | |
3.625% notes, due 2018 | | $ | 600,000 |
3.375% notes, due 2019 | | | 500,000 |
4.375% notes, due 2020 | | | 600,000 |
4.875% notes, due 2021 | | | 500,000 |
3.875% notes, due 2021 | | | 400,000 |
4.375% notes, due 2022 | | | 500,000 |
Hedging effects, discounts and unamortized issuance costs | | | (14,076) |
Total | | $ | 3,085,924 |
These notes, which are senior unsecured obligations of CNH Industrial Capital LLC, are guaranteed by CNH Industrial Capital America and New Holland Credit.
On April 16, 2018, we repaid $600 million of our 3.625% unsecured notes due 2018, which was funded in part through a $500 million affiliated borrowing.
Credit Ratings
Our ability to obtain funding is affected by credit ratings of our debt, which are closely related to the outlook for and the financial condition of CNHI, and the nature and availability of our support agreement with CNHI.
To access public debt capital markets, we rely on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings to our securities as an indicator of credit quality for fixed income investors. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw our ratings based on its assessment of our current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. Each agency’s rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Lower credit ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, including costs of derivative transactions, and reduced access to debt capital markets.
The senior long-term and short-term debt ratings and outlook currently assigned to our unsecured debt securities by the rating agencies engaged by us are the same as the corporate ratings for CNHI. The ratings as of March 31, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | |
| | Senior Long-Term | | Short-Term | | Outlook |
Fitch Ratings | | BBB- | | F-3 | | Stable |
Standard & Poor's | | BBB- | | P-3 | | Stable |
Moody's Investor Service, Inc. | | Ba1 | | Unrated | | Stable* |
*On April 27, 2018, Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. affirmed the Ba1 senior long-term rating of CNH Industrial Capital LLC and improved the outlook to positive from stable.
Affiliate Sources
CNH Industrial Capital borrows, as needed, from CNH Industrial. This source of funding is primarily used to finance various assets and provides additional flexibility when evaluating market conditions and potential third‑party financing options. We had affiliated debt of $67 million and $446 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.
Equity Position
Our equity position also supports our ability to access various funding sources. Our stockholder’s equity at March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017 was $1.4 billion. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, CNH Industrial Capital LLC paid cash dividends of $20 million to CNH Industrial America.
Liquidity
The majority of CNH Industrial Capital’s debt is self-liquidating from the cash generated by the underlying receivables. Normally, additional liquidity should not be necessary for the repayment of such debt. New originations of retail receivables are usually warehoused in committed asset-backed facilities until being refinanced in the term ABS market or with other third party debt. The majority of new wholesale receivables are financed through a master trust and funded by variable funding notes.
Available committed unsecured facilities expiring after twelve months amounted to approximately $500 million at March 31, 2018. Included in the available committed unsecured facilities is $192 million maintained primarily to provide backup liquidity for commercial paper borrowings. The committed and uncommitted credit facilities are eligible for renewal at various future dates or have no specified expiration date.
The liquidity available for use varies due to: (a) changes in origination volumes, reflecting the financing needs of our customers, and is influenced by the timing of any refinancing of underlying receivables; and (b) the execution of our funding strategy of maintaining a sufficient level of liquidity and flexible access to a wide variety of financial instruments including both committed and uncommitted, unsecured facilities.

defined in Rule 13a‑15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2018. Based on that evaluation, our President and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act filings is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our President and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
