CNH Capital funds its operations and lending activity through a combination of term receivables securitizations, secured and unsecured facilities, a repurchase agreement, commercial paper, unsecured bonds, affiliate borrowings and retained earnings. CNH Capital’s current funding strategy is to maintain sufficient liquidity and flexible access to a wide variety of financial instruments and funding options.
As part of its overall funding strategy, CNH Capital participates in the asset-backed securitization (“ABS”) markets. CNH Capital periodically transfers retail notes and wholesale receivables originated from end-use customers and dealers to special purpose entities, in exchange for cash proceeds from asset-backed securities issued by these special purpose entities. Investors in these asset-backed securities in turn receive payments on their securities based on the cash flows from the transferred receivables. CNH Capital continues to service the transferred receivables and maintains a cash reserve account, which provides security to investors in the event that cash collections from the receivables are not sufficient to permit principal and interest payments to the holders of the securities. These special purpose entities and the investors in the asset-backed securities have no recourse, beyond the applicable cash reserve account, for failure of any end-use customers or dealers to make payments on the transferred receivables when due.
In addition to portfolio quality and funding costs, CNH Capital’s long-term profitability is also dependent on service levels and operational effectiveness. CNH Capital performs billing and collection services, customer support, repossession and remarketing functions, reporting and data management operations and marketing activities.
