As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, CNH Industrial had total assets of $49.4 billion and $48.7 billion, respectively, and total equity of $6.8 billion and $5.0 billion, respectively.
For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, CNH Industrial had total revenues of $33.4 billion and $26.0 billion, respectively, and net income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. of $1.7 billion and ($0.5) billion, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2021, CNH Industrial’s net sales of agricultural equipment and net sales of construction equipment generated in North America (United States, Canada and Mexico) were $5.1 billion and $1.4 billion, respectively, representing increases of 35% and 50% from the same period in 2020, respectively.
CNH Industrial Capital is a key financing source for CNH Industrial North America’s end-use customers and dealers. The Company offers financing to customers with advantageous terms that are subsidized by CNH Industrial North America, including low-rate, interest-free or interest-only periods and other sales incentive programs.
Although our primary focus is to finance CNH Industrial North America equipment, we also provide retail and wholesale financing related to new and used agricultural and construction equipment manufactured by entities other than CNH Industrial North America. We are dependent on CNH Industrial North America for substantially all of our business, with revenues related to financing provided to CNH Industrial North America dealers and retail customers purchasing and/or leasing from CNH Industrial North America and its dealers accounting for over 90% of our total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2021, and with loan portfolios attributable to such financing accounting for over 90% of our total managed receivables as of December 31, 2021.
The size of our lending portfolio is related in part to the level of equipment sales by CNH Industrial North America, which is driven by the strength of the agricultural and construction markets. The credit quality of our portfolio reflects the underwriting standards of CNH Industrial Capital, which are developed internally and independent of the sales volume goals of CNH Industrial North America.
We borrow from our affiliates as one of the funding sources for our operations and lending activity. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had outstanding affiliate borrowings of $2.1 million and $187.3 million, respectively, representing 0.02% and 1.8% of our total indebtedness, respectively.
CNH Industrial North America also provides us with other types of operational and administrative support, such as payroll and other human resource services. For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, we incurred fees charged by our affiliates of $47.4 million and $45.9 million, respectively, representing 16% and 12%, respectively, of our total administrative and operating expenses.
Effective as of September 29, 2013, in connection with the business combination transaction of CNH Global with and into CNHI, CNHI assumed all of CNH Global’s obligations under a support agreement, pursuant to which CNHI has agreed to, among other things, (a) make cash capital contributions to us, to the extent necessary to cause our ratio of net earnings available for fixed charges to fixed charges to be not less than 1.05 for each fiscal quarter (with such ratio determined, on a consolidated basis and in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), for such fiscal quarter and the immediately preceding three fiscal quarters taken as a whole), (b) generally maintain an ownership of at least 51% of the voting equity interests in us and (c) cause us to have, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, a consolidated tangible net worth of at least $50 million. The support agreement is not intended to be and is not a guarantee by CNHI of our indebtedness or other obligations. The obligations of CNHI to us pursuant to this support agreement are to us only and do not run to, and are not enforceable directly by, any creditor of ours, including holders of our notes or the trustee under the indenture governing our notes. The support agreement may be modified, amended or terminated, at CNHI’s election, upon thirty days’ prior written notice to us and the rating agencies, if (a) the modification, amendment or termination would not result in a downgrade of our rated indebtedness; (b) the modification, amendment or notice of termination provides that the support agreement will continue in effect with respect to our rated indebtedness then outstanding; or (c) we have no long-term rated indebtedness outstanding.
