| The company continued to improve its product value positioning with customers and was able to maintain pricing at a higher level than its total economics and currency-related cost increases, resulting in another quarter of positive net price recovery for both Agricultural and Construction Equipment operations. | ||
| Restructuring costs totaling $58 million, net of taxes, were booked in the quarter, principally related to the actions announced in October, aimed at readjusting CNHs organizational structure to evolving business needs. | ||
| The company adopted the FASBs SFAS No. 158 at year-end 2006, whereby CNH recognized the funded status of its pension and other post-retirement benefit plans on its balance sheet. The result was a reduction of CNHs Shareholders Equity by $397 million, net of tax. | ||
| Research and development spending increased 17% from the same period in 2005, reflecting CNHs continued investments in product innovation and quality. |
| Agricultural equipment net sales increased 6% to $1.9 billion, compared with the prior year. Excluding currency variations, net sales were up 2%. | ||
| Net sales, excluding currency variations, were up 48% in Latin America, 20% in Rest of World markets and 7% in Western Europe, but down 14% in North America. | ||
| Sales increased due to positive effects of exchange rate changes, positive pricing and sales of new products. Unfavorable volume and mix was a partial offset, as increased unit sales of specialty harvesting and hay & forage products were offset by lower sales of tractors and combines, as the company under-produced worldwide retail sales of agricultural tractors and combines by 15% to reduce inventories. |
| Construction equipment net sales increased 6% to $1.1 billion, compared to the prior year. Net sales were up 2% excluding currency variations. | ||
| Net sales increased 18% in Western Europe in a strong industry environment, 31% in Latin America and 36% in Rest-of-World markets, excluding currency |

variations. Net sales in North America declined 15%, excluding currency variations, in a weaker industry environment. | |||
| Net sales increased due to positive effects of exchange rate changes and positive pricing. Unfavorable volume and mix was a partial offset, as increased unit sales of light construction equipment products, including backhoe loaders and compact track loaders were offset by lower sales of heavy construction equipment, as the company under-produced worldwide retail sales of construction equipment by 4%. |
| Agricultural equipment gross margin increased in both dollars and as a percent of net sales compared to the prior year. Positive net price recovery and new products more than offset the impact of the companys actions to reduce inventories. | ||
| Construction equipment gross margin also increased both in dollars and as a percent of net sales. Positive net price recovery and improved product mix more than offset the impact of the companys actions to reduce inventories. |
| The companys improved product value positioning with customers allowed it to maintain pricing at a higher level than its total economics and currency-related cost increases, resulting in positive net price recovery for both Agricultural and Construction Equipment Operations. |

| Research and development spending increased 21% from 2005, reflecting CNHs continued investments in product innovation and quality. | |
| Restructuring costs totaling $71 million, net of taxes, were booked in the year, principally related to the actions announced in October. | |
| Inventory levels at the end of 2006 of 4.0 forward months of supply, were slightly lower than at the end of 2005. |
| Agricultural equipment net sales of $7.8 billion were essentially the same as in 2005. Excluding currency variations, net sales were down 1%. Net sales increased for positive pricing, favorable effects of exchange rate changes and sales of new products. Unfavorable volume and mix was the offset, from weaker combine industry sales in the companys major markets and the impact of the companys actions to under-produce retail unit sales of its major agricultural equipment products. Net sales, excluding currency variations, were up 10% in Rest of World markets, 14% in Latin America and 1% in Western Europe, but down 10% in North America. | ||
| Construction equipment net sales increased 9% to $4.3 billion, compared to the prior year. Net sales increased for positive pricing, sales of new products, favorable volume and mix and favorable effects of exchange rate changes. Net sales were up 8% excluding currency variations. Net sales increased 12% in Western Europe, 37% in Latin America and 24% in Rest-of-World markets, excluding currency variations. Net sales in North America declined 3%, excluding currency variations, in a weaker industry environment. The companys production of total heavy and light construction equipment was equal to retail unit sales, for the full year. |
| Agricultural equipment gross margin increased both in dollars and as a percent of net sales compared to the prior year. Positive net price recovery and manufacturing efficiencies, more than offset the impact of company actions to reduce inventories and weaker combine industry volumes. | ||
| Construction equipment gross margin also increased both in dollars and as a percent of net sales. Positive net price recovery, higher volumes and manufacturing efficiencies contributed to the improvement. |

1. | Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of CNH Global N.V. and its consolidated subsidiaries (CNH or the Company) in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (U.S. GAAP); however, because of their condensed nature, they do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These financial statements should therefore be read in conjunction with the audited, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2005 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 31, 2006. | |
CNH is controlled by Fiat Netherlands Holding N.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A. (Fiat). As of December 31, 2006, Fiat owned approximately 90% of CNHs outstanding common shares. | ||
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNHs majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and reflect the interests of the minority owners of the subsidiaries that are not fully owned for the periods presented, as applicable. The operations and key financial measures and financial analysis differ significantly for manufacturing and distribution businesses and financial services businesses; therefore, management believes that certain supplemental disclosures are important in understanding the consolidated operations and financial results of CNH. The supplemental financial information captioned Equipment Operations includes the results of operations of CNHs agricultural and construction equipment operations, with the Companys financial services businesses reflected on the equity method basis. The supplemental financial information captioned Financial Services reflects the combination of CNHs financial services businesses. | ||
Reclassifications | ||
Certain reclassifications of prior year amounts have been made in order to conform to the current year presentation. | ||
New Accounting Pronouncements | ||
In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Interpretation No. 48, Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (FIN 48). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprises financial statements in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. FIN 48 also prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The FASB standard also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure, and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. CNH is in the process of determining the impact FIN 48 will have on its financial position and results of operations. | ||
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 clarifies the principle that fair value should be based on the assumptions market participants would use when pricing an asset or liability and establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the information used to develop those assumptions. SFAS No. 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. CNH has not yet determined the impact, if any; the implementation of SFAS No. 157 may have on its financial position or results of operations. | ||
In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements (SAB No. 108). SAB No. 108 provides interpretive guidance on how the effects |
1
of the carryover or reversal of prior year misstatements should be considered in quantifying a current year misstatement. The SEC staff believes that registrants should quantify errors using both a balance sheet and an income statement approach and evaluate whether either approach results in a misstatement that, when all relevant quantitative and qualitative factors are considered, is material and therefore must be quantified. SAB No. 108 was effective for fiscal years ending on or after November 15, 2006. The application of SAB No. 108 did not have an impact on CNHs financial position or results of operations. | ||
2. | Stock-Based Compensation Plans CNH has stock-based employee compensation plans which are described more fully in Note 18: Option and Incentive Plans, to our 2005 Form 20-F. In January 2006, CNH adopted SFAS No. 123 Revised, Share Based Payment (SFAS No. 123 Revised). SFAS No. 123 Revised requires the use of a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The statement has been applied using a Modified Prospective Method, under which compensation cost is recognized beginning on the effective date and continuing until participants are fully vested. Adopting SFAS No. 123 Revised resulted in additional expense of approximately $1 million during 2006. | |
In September 2006, CNH granted approximately 2.2 million performance based, non-vested share awards under its Equity Incentive Plan (EIP) to approximately 200 of the Companys top executives. These shares were to cliff vest when 2008 audited results are approved by the Board of Directors (estimated to be February 2009) if specified fiscal year 2008 targets were achieved. In December 2006, CNH extended this grant by providing participants an additional opportunity for potential partial payouts should these targets not be achieved until 2009 or 2010. All other terms remained unchanged. The grant date fair value on the date of the modification ranges from $27.35 per share to $26.27 depending on the service period over which the grant ultimately vests. The fair value is based on the market value of CNHs common shares on the date of the grant modification and is adjusted for the estimated value of dividends which are not available to participants during the vesting period. Depending on the period during which targets are achieved, the estimated expense over the service period can range from approximately $28 million to $52 million (current estimate is $38 million). If specified targets are not achieved by 2010, the shares granted will not vest. | ||
Also in September 2006, CNH granted approximately 2.0 million performance based stock options which will result in an estimated expense over the vesting period of approximately $10 million (at targeted performance levels) under its EIP. One-third of the options will vest when 2006 audited results are approved by the Board of Directors (estimated to be February 2007) if specified fiscal 2006 targets are achieved. The remaining options will vest equally on the first and second anniversary of the initial vesting date. The actual number of shares vesting may exceed 2.0 million if CNHs performance exceeds targets; however, if minimum target levels are not achieved, the options will not vest. The grant date fair value of $5.78 per option was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. | ||
The assumptions used in this model were: |
Risk-free interest rate |
4.52 | % | ||
Expected volatility |
34.71 | % | ||
Expected life |
3.25 years | |||
Dividend yield |
1.34 | % |
The risk-free interest rate was based on the current U.S. Treasury rate for a bond of approximately the expected life of the options. The expected volatility was based on the historical activity of CNHs common shares looking back over a period equal to the expected life of the options. The expected life was based on the average of the vesting term of 30 months and the original contract term of five years. The expected dividend yield was based on the annual dividend of $.25 per share which has been paid on CNHs common shares over the last three years. | ||
3. | Accounts and Notes Receivable In CNHs receivable asset securitization programs, retail finance receivables are sold to limited purpose, bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiaries of |
2
CNH. In turn, these subsidiaries establish separate trusts to which they transfer the receivables in exchange for the proceeds from asset-backed securities sold by the trusts. Due to the nature of the assets held by the trusts and the limited nature of each trusts activities, they are each classified as a qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) under SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS No. 140). In accordance with SFAS No. 140, assets and liabilities of the QSPEs are not consolidated in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. The amounts outstanding under these programs were $5.1 billion and $4.7 billion at December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. In addition to the retail securitization programs, certain subsidiaries of CNH securitized or discounted wholesale receivables without recourse. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, $3.7 billion and $3.1 billion, respectively remained outstanding under these programs. | ||
Included in the securitized or discounted wholesale receivables without recourse amount noted above is a wholesale securitization program in Europe under which Equipment Operations entities sell receivables while a Financial Services subsidiary subscribes to notes representing undivided retained interests. At December 31, 2006 and 2005, the amounts outstanding under this program were $843 million and $709 million, respectively and Financial Services had an undivided retained interest of $318 million and $251 million, respectively. | ||

5. | Goodwill and Intangibles In the fourth quarter of 2005, CNH reorganized its Equipment Operations into four distinct global brand structures, CaseIH and New Holland in agricultural equipment brands and Case and New Holland Construction in construction equipment brands. As a result of this change, CNH must allocate Equipment Operations goodwill to the four brands based on the January 1, 2006 fair value of each reporting unit. | |

CNH recorded amortization expense of approximately $49 million and $46 million for the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the years 2007 to 2011 is approximately $50 million. As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future and as currency fluctuates, these amounts may vary. | ||
Any reduction in valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets of Case Corporation and its subsidiaries (now known as CNH America LLC) as of the Case Corporation acquisition date have in the past and will in the future be treated as a reduction of goodwill and will not impact future periods tax expense. During 2006, CNH reversed approximately $24 million in valuation allowances recorded as a part of Case Corporation purchase accounting. |

At December 31, 2006, CNH had approximately $3.6 billion available under $6.8 billion total lines of credit and asset-backed facilities. | ||
On March 3, 2006, Case New Holland, Inc. (Case New Holland) completed a private offering of $500 million of debt securities at an annual fixed rate of 7.125% (the 7.125% Senior Notes). The 7.125% Senior Notes, which are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by CNH and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, are due 2014. Proceeds from the offering are being used to refinance debt. In July 2006, Case New Holland completed an exchange offer for the 7.125% Senior Notes. | ||
CNH participates in Fiat affiliates cash management pools with other Fiat affiliates. Amounts deposited with Fiat affiliates as part of the Fiat cash management system are repayable to CNH upon one business days notice. To the extent that Fiat affiliates are unable to return any such amounts upon one business days notice, and in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of Fiat, CNH may be unable to secure the return of such funds, and CNH may be viewed as a creditor of such Fiat entity with respect to such funds. There is no assurance that the future operations of the Fiat cash management system may not adversely impact CNHs ability to recover its funds to the extent one or more of the above described events were to occur. | ||
7. | Income Taxes For the three months ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, effective income tax rates were 13.8% and 100.0%, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, effective income tax rates were 39.6% and 45.1%, respectively. For 2006, tax rates differ from the Dutch statutory rate of 29.6% due primarily to the impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized, the impact of utilizing tax losses against which valuation allowances were recorded, higher tax rates in certain jurisdictions and the reversal of |
5
valuation reserves on deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions where it is now deemed more likely than not that the assets will be realized. For 2005, tax rates differ from the Dutch statutory rate of 31.5% due primarily to the recording of valuation allowances discussed below and the impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized, offset by the tax settlement also discussed below. In the third quarter of 2005, CNH reached an agreement with a government regarding tax positions taken during 2000, which resulted in a reduction of tax expense and previously provided tax liabilities. Also during the third quarter of 2005, additional tax expense was recognized in certain entities as valuation reserves were established against previously recognized tax assets due to a current evaluation of recent results of operations and anticipated future operations at these entities. | ||
8. | Restructuring During the three months and years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, CNH expense and utilization related to restructuring was as follows: |

Restructuring expense primarily relates to severance and other costs incurred due to headcount reductions, plant closures and CNHs announced brand initiatives. Utilization primarily represents benefit plan curtailments, payments of involuntary employee severance costs and costs related to the closing of facilities. | ||
In 2006, CNH announced actions around the globe aimed at readjusting its organizational structure to evolving business needs. These actions include optimizing its North American Agricultural Equipment manufacturing footprint to drive efficiency and reduce salaried headcount. CNH anticipates that the cost of these actions, in total, will be approximately $100 million before tax. Approximately $50 million, before tax, was recognized in the fourth quarter of 2006 with the balance to be recognized in 2007 and beyond. | ||
9. | Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits As of December 31, 2006, CNH has adopted SFAS No. 158, Employers Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plansan amendment of FASB Statements No. 87, 88, 106, and 132(R) (SFAS No. 158). SFAS No. 158 requires an employer to recognize the overfunded or underfunded status of a defined benefit postretirement plan (other than a multiemployer plan) as an asset or liability in its balance sheet and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. SFAS No. 158 also requires an employer to measure the funded status of a plan as of the date of its year-end balance sheet. As a company with publicly traded equity securities, CNH was required to initially recognize the funded status of its defined benefit pension and other postretirement plans as of December 31, 2006. CNH will provide the disclosure required by SFAS No. 158 in its 2006 Form 20-F. As plan assets and benefit obligations are already measured as of the end of its fiscal year, the measurement date provisions of SFAS No. 158 will not have an impact on CNH. Upon adopting SFAS No. 158, CNH recognized a non-cash decrease in shareholders equity of approximately $397 million, net of tax of $234 million. |

12. | Earnings per Share In accordance with the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-06, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB No. 128, Earnings per Share (EITF No. 03-06), undistributed earnings, which represents net income, less dividends paid to common shareholders, were allocated to the Series A Preferred Shares when they were outstanding, based on the dividend yield of the common shares, which was impacted by the price of the Companys common shares. For purposes of the basic earnings per share calculation, CNH used the average closing price of the Companys common shares over the last thirty trading days of the period (Average Stock Price). As of December 31, 2005, the Average Stock Price was $17.47 per share. Subsequent to the conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock, no allocation of earnings to the Series A Preferred Stock is required. |

15. | Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures CNH, in its quarterly press release announcing results, utilizes various figures that are Non-GAAP Financial Measures as this term is defined under Regulation G as promulgated by the SEC. In accordance with Regulation G, CNH has detailed either the computation of these measures from multiple U.S. GAAP figures or reconciled these non-GAAP financial measures to the most relevant U.S. GAAP equivalent. Some of these measures do not have standardized meanings and investors should consider that the methodology applied in calculating such measures may differ among companies and analysts. CNHs management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplementary information to investors in order that they may evaluate CNHs financial performance using the same measures used by our management. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for, nor superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. |
