Net income was $63.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $56.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The increase in net income was primarily due to an increased net interest margin and higher recoveries on used equipment sales, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses. The receivables balance greater than 30 days past due as a percentage of managed receivables was 0.5% at March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 and 0.7% at March 31, 2021.
In addition to the impacts from COVID-19 previously discussed, macroeconomic issues for us include the uncertainty of governmental actions with respect to monetary, fiscal and legislative policies, the global economic recovery, 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.
