CNH Industrial published second quarter 2022 results, with record consolidated revenues of $6,082 million. Compared to Q2 2021, this is up 17.5% for continuing operations and up 20% at constant currency. Revenues in agriculture reached $4,722 million, a 19% gain compared to Q2 2021 and representing 77.6% of total Q2 revenues CNH Industrial.
“Robust second quarter results highlighted the CNH Industrial team’s focus on execution, as they excelled in both tactically ensuring we continued to meet customer commitments and making notable progress on our strategic initiatives”, says Scott W. Wine, CEO of CNH Industrial. “These considerations and strong price realization contributed to our impressive sales and adjusted diluted EPS growth, up 17.5% and 16.2% respectively. Pricing, volumes, and favorable mix offset significant cost escalation and gross profit increased $174 million year over year.”
Wine continues: “Component shortages again impacted production, resulting in Free Cash Flow of $404 million which, though a tremendous sequential improvement, was still down almost 50% versus Q2 2021. Despite this, we continue to expect to deliver more than $1 billion of free cash flow for 2022.
Looking forward, we have exciting new products to unveil at the upcoming trade shows and our Tech Day late in the year. Raven and our Precision team helping to drive Agriculture’s growth, and Construction Equipment, bolstered by Sampierana, is significantly increasing its profitability.
With this strong foundation, we expect to meet our Full Year guidance, but expect a decidedly less advantageous climate for the next several quarters. The strengthening US dollar is impacting soft commodity prices, risking further deterioration in farmer sentiment and income, while we see the likelihood of declining European demand due to the war in Ukraine, energy risk and inflation. In the Americas, steady demand from cash crop customers indicates that the market may be more stable, but overall we are positioning for a recession. Our team has proven that, regardless of the environment, they will continue to execute our strategic priorities and deliver for our customers and shareholders.”
