BURR RIDGE, IL. – (MARKET WIRE) – CNH Global N.V. (NYSE: CNH – News) October 21, 2009:

Notwithstanding a slowdown in its Agricultural Equipment Net Sales (23% year-over-year) and a dramatic reduction in its Construction Equipment Net Sales (56% year-over-year), CNH reported Operating Profit of $72 million in the third quarter (down from $339 million in the third quarter of 2008) on Net Sales of $2,960 million (32% lower than the third quarter of 2008). CNH maintained its program of aggressive production controls to offset the effects of continuing weak market conditions. Accounts receivable reduction of $281 million and inventory reduction of $440 million were the primary drivers of improved cash flow which reduced Equipment Operations’ Net Debt by $155 million.

CNH’s third quarter 2009 diluted net loss per share, attributable to CNH common shareholders, was $(0.11) compared with earnings of $1.06 in the third quarter of 2008. The Net Loss attributable to CNH was $25 million in the quarter compared with Net Income attributable to CNH of $252 million in the same period of 2008. These results include restructuring charges, after tax, of $3 million, compared with $7 million in the prior year. CNH’s third quarter 2009 diluted loss per share attributable to CNH common shareholders, excluding restructuring, after tax, was $(0.09) compared with earnings of $1.09 in the third quarter of 2008.

The diluted net loss per share attributable to CNH common shareholders, for the first nine months of 2009, was $(0.92), compared with earnings of $2.99 in the first nine months of 2008. Income tax negatively impacted Net Income by approximately $115 million due primarily to the geographic mix of earnings. The Net Loss attributable to CNH was $218 million in the first nine months of 2009 compared with Net Income attributable to CNH of $711 million in the same period of 2008. These results include restructuring charges, after tax, of $56 million compared with $25 million in the first nine months of 2008. CNH’s diluted net loss per share attributable to CNH common shareholders, excluding restructuring, after tax, for the first nine months of 2009 was $(0.68) compared with earnings of $3.10 in the first nine months of 2008.

“In the third quarter, faced with the continuing negative effects of the economic downturn, we saw the benefits of keeping a tight grip on production and costs. Equipment Operations’ inventories and receivables were significantly reduced, generating positive cash flow from operating activities. Salaried and agency positions have also come down considerably and we are on track to achieve our year-end objective of reducing personnel by 11 to 12%. On the construction side, we implemented the management reorganization previously announced and now have a structure that is better aligned with the current construction equipment market. We remain committed to product quality and new product development. In addition we will continue to evaluate new opportunities to strengthen our position in the market, such as our recently announced JV plans in Russia,” said Harold Boyanovsky, CNH President and Chief Executive Officer.

“In the fourth quarter, the actions already in place will result in improvements to our operating results and a continuation of positive Equipment Operations’ cash flow. We expect to further reduce working capital by $700 million in the fourth quarter, resulting in a full year working capital reduction of approximately $1 billion. We remain confident about the future of both our Agricultural and Construction Equipment businesses and expect to see improvement beginning in the fourth quarter.”

Third Quarter Brand Activities

Case IH Agriculture launched the Austoft 8000 series sugar cane harvester which delivers a 35% increase in chopper power and electronic ground drive with cruise control. It also prepared for its fourth quarter launch of updated Maxxum, Puma and Magnum tractors covering the entire 100 to 225 horsepower range.

New Holland Agriculture launched its new flagship T7000 series tractors (167 to 225 horsepower) with continuously variable “Auto Command” transmissions and new armrest control console in North America and Western Europe.

Case Construction added the high performance 650L to its crawler dozer line. The 650L delivers more performance, a lower overall operating height and weight and productivity boosting maintenance features. It delivers 74 net horsepower through a Tier-3 turbocharged engine with electronic fuel injection.

Significant Events Since September 30

On October 8, CNH and Russia’s Kamaz JSC, a global truck maker, announced plans to develop an industrial and commercial alliance to further strengthen CNH’s leadership position in Russia’s agricultural and construction equipment markets. The two companies intend to establish an industrial joint venture which, in the initial phase, will produce combines, tractors and agricultural implements, as well as some construction equipment, in Naberezhnye Chelny, Tatarstan. The JV will begin operation in 2010 and will produce machines from the CNH family of brands. CNH and Kamaz will also integrate their commercial networks to distribute equipment from CNH brands, both locally produced and imported, throughout the Russian Federation. Kamaz is the largest Russian manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks. Its sales and service network reaches all regions of Russia and the CIS through 127 dealers and more than 100 service centers.

Agricultural Equipment’s Net Sales declined by 23% in the quarter and 19% for the first nine months of the year compared with 2008. Despite the overall industry decline, there was relative strength in the highest horsepower tractor markets in North America and CNH’s tractor market share for the quarter was up in North America. Our market share for combines was up in Latin American and stable in Western European markets in the quarter. To reduce inventories, we under-produced retail unit sales by 16% in the quarter and by 10% for the first nine months of the year.

Construction Equipment’s Net Sales declined 56% in the quarter, and 59% for the first nine months of the year compared with 2008, driven by continued weakness in the construction equipment industry. CNH continued to idle much of its construction equipment production capacity during the quarter to further reduce both dealer and company inventories, under-producing retail unit sales by 58%.

CNH Capital’s continued participation in the ABS markets, bank funding transactions and European factoring programs, as well as improving financial market conditions, enabled Financial Services to reduce its on-book portfolio by 14% from September 30, 2008. Third quarter Net Income excluding restructuring charges, after tax, of $33 million was down $36 million from a year ago, reflecting primarily lower average levels of on-book receivables, higher interest costs and increased credit loss expense. Loss expense increased from $17 million in the third quarter of 2008 to $43 million in the third quarter of 2009, due to the downturn in the U.S. and European construction equipment markets and additional reserves recorded for Brazil’s retail agricultural equipment portfolio. The North American agricultural equipment portfolio quality remained high.

For the nine months, Financial Services’ Net Income excluding restructuring charges, after tax, was $81 million, down from $191 million in the prior year. For the first nine months of 2009, credit loss expense was $124 million compared with $60 million in the prior year.

Globally, Financial Services closed new transactions, in the quarter, for a total value exceeding $1.1 billion, including a $583 million U.S. wholesale ABS TALF transaction, a $311 million retail ABS transaction in Australia and a $244 million expansion of its European factoring program. For the nine months, Financial Services closed new transactions totaling approximately $4.1 billion of new funding globally and believes that funding conditions have improved significantly since the beginning of the year. Financial Services will continue to evaluate government sponsored programs and other alternatives when considering future financing transactions.

Third Quarter and First Nine Months 2009 Net Income (Loss) attributable to CNH

Third quarter 2009 Net Loss attributable to CNH was $25 million, compared with Net Income attributable to CNH of $252 million in the third quarter of 2008. The decline in Net Income includes a loss of $5 million in Equipment Operations’ unconsolidated subsidiaries, compared with a profit of $13 million in the prior year, reflecting primarily the results of the Company’s unconsolidated construction equipment joint ventures. Results include restructuring charges, after tax, of $3 million in the third quarter of 2009, compared with $7 million in the comparable period for the prior year. CNH’s Net Loss attributable to CNH, excluding restructuring charges, after tax, was $22 million, compared with a profit of $259 million in the prior year.

For the nine months, the Net Loss attributable to CNH of $218 million was down compared with a Net Income attributable to CNH of $711 million in 2008. The Net Loss includes a loss of $41 million in Equipment Operations’ unconsolidated subsidiaries, a decline of $87 million compared with the

Equipment Operations’ Net Debt was reduced in the third quarter by $155 million to $183 million. The $132 million of cash generated by Operating Activities was reduced by net cash used for Investing Activities of $52 million, which primarily relates to capital expenditures.

In the quarter, working capital decreased by $255 million, primarily due to decreases in inventories and receivables totaling $721 million, which were partially offset by a reduction in payables of $466 million. Inventories decreased by $440 million and receivables decreased by $281 million.

For the nine month period, Equipment Operations’ Net Debt position was reduced by $240 million. The $362 million of cash generated by Operating Activities was partially absorbed by capital expenditures, while other impacts, including the effects of exchange rate changes, were slightly positive.

Financial Services’ Net Debt decreased by $7 million during the quarter to $8,121 million at September 30, 2009. Compared with December 31, 2008, Financial Services’ Net Debt decreased by $122 million from $8,243 million.

Consolidated Net Debt at quarter-end totaled $8.3 billion, down $162 million from the end of the second quarter, and down $362 million from year-end 2008. Consolidated Total Debt with Fiat affiliates less Deposits in Fiat affiliates cash management pools totaled $2.4 billion at quarter-end, down from $3.5 billion at June 30, 2009 and down $751 million from $3.2 billion at December 31, 2008.

In August, CNH issued $1.0 billion of Senior Notes, due 2013, using the proceeds to strengthen liquidity and to repay maturing short-term liabilities, substantially lengthening the maturity profile of its debt.

Restructuring Update

Planned pre-tax restructuring charges for 2009 now total approximately $120 million of which approximately $80 million is expected to be cash expenditures. Significant Construction Equipment restructuring milestones have been achieved. CNH’s reorganization of its Construction Equipment internal management structure has been completed. CNH has reached agreement with the Minister of Labor and President of Region Emilia Romagna, as well as all trade unions, to move loader backhoe and compact wheel loader production to its plant in Lecce, Italy. CNH remains committed to working together with all parties to find industrial alternatives and investors for the Imola site.

Salaried personnel reduction actions taken through the third quarter have resulted in a 11% cumulative reduction in permanent and temporary salaried and agency positions, including a cumulative reduction of approximately 24% in construction equipment related positions. Additional actions to be taken in the fourth quarter of 2009 are expected to result in a full year company-wide reduction in permanent and temporary salaried and agency positions of 11 to 12%.

Market Outlook

We believe that medium and long term global agricultural fundamentals remain strong, but worldwide industry retail unit sales continue to be impacted by current economic and credit conditions. Full year 2009 worldwide tractor industry retail unit sales are expected to be down 10 to 15% from the record levels of 2008, while combine industry retail unit sales could be down 20 to 25%.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, we expect global agricultural equipment industry retail unit sales to continue to soften and be down 20 to 25%, with worldwide industry retail unit sales of Over-40 horsepower tractors to decline by 20 to 25% and industry retail unit sales of combines to be down 15 to 20%. We expect the Under-40 horsepower tractor segment in North America to be down approximately 40%. We continue to expect pockets of strength in some of the highest horsepower tractor industry sales, tractors in China and the Asia Pacific region and for sugar cane harvesters in Brazil.

We expect global construction equipment industry retail unit sales to continue at levels close to those we experienced in the first nine months of the year, with full year industry retail unit sales down 40 to 45% compared with full year 2008, with light equipment markets down by 45 to 50%, and the heavy equipment markets declining by approximately 40%.

For the fourth quarter of 2009, we expect global construction equipment industry retail unit sales to be at the same relative levels as earlier in the year, but the percentage declines compared with the fourth quarter of 2008 to be less than earlier in the year. Due to the magnitude of the declines in the fourth quarter of 2008, the year-over-year comparisons for the fourth quarter of 2009 are less pronounced. In total, we expect the industry retail unit sales to be down approximately 30 to 35%, with industry retail unit sales of light construction equipment to be down 25 to 30% and heavy construction equipment sales down approximately 30 to 35%.

2009 CNH Outlook

“We remain optimistic about the future prospects for our agricultural and construction equipment businesses and believe that the actions we have been taking, to ensure that CNH and its dealers and distributors are ready and able to compete aggressively as market conditions improve, will begin to show results in the fourth quarter,” Boyanovsky said. “CNH continues to manage its business through the industry downturn by controlling cost, reducing company and dealer inventories and improving operating efficiency. At the same time CNH is restructuring its construction equipment operations and improving company liquidity.”

Although CNH expects Equipment Operations’ Net Sales for full year 2009 to be down 25 to 30% from 2008, including a reduction of approximately 5% related to currency translation, net sales for the fourth quarter are expected to be down approximately 10%. In the fourth quarter, CNH intends to produce fewer units than it expects to retail (10 to 15% for agricultural equipment and 50 to 55% for construction equipment), which will drive continued cash flow generation.

Our outlook is predominantly based on our interpretation of what we consider key economic assumptions and involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Crop production and commodity prices are strongly affected by weather and can fluctuate significantly. Housing starts and other construction activity are sensitive to the availability of credit and to interest rates and government spending. Some of the other significant factors which may affect our results include general economic and capital market conditions, the cyclical nature of our business, customer buying patterns and preferences, foreign currency exchange rate movements, our hedging practices, our customers’ access to credit, actions by rating agencies concerning the ratings of our debt securities and asset backed securities, risks related to our relationship with Fiat S.p.A., political uncertainty and civil unrest or war in various areas of the world, pricing, product initiatives and other actions by competitors, disruptions in production capacity, excess inventory levels, the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including government subsidies and international trade regulations), the results of legal proceedings, technological difficulties, results of our research and development activities, changes in environmental laws, employee and labor relations, pension and health care costs, relations with and the financial strength of dealers, the cost and availability of supplies from our suppliers, raw material costs and availability, energy prices, real estate values, animal diseases, crop pests, harvest yields, government farm programs and consumer confidence, housing starts and construction activity, concerns related to modified organisms and fuel and fertilizer costs. Additionally, our achievement of the anticipated benefits of our margin improvement initiatives depends upon, among other things, industry volumes as well as our ability to effectively rationalize our operations and to execute our brand strategy. Further information concerning factors that could significantly affect expected results is included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors we disclose that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and supplemental information reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments except where noted, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated results of CNH Global N.V., a Netherlands corporation, and its consolidated subsidiaries (“CNH” or the “Company”) in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted 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 or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for complete annual or interim period financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 3, 2009. CNH is controlled by Fiat Netherlands Holding N.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A. (“Fiat”). As of September 30, 2009, Fiat owned approximately 89% of CNH’s outstanding common shares.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNH’s majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and reflect the noncontrolling 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 analyses 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 CNH’s agricultural and construction equipment operations, with the Company’s financial services businesses reflected on the equity method of accounting. The supplemental financial information captioned “Financial Services” reflects the combination of CNH’s financial services businesses.

2. Recent Accounting Developments As of the beginning of 2009, CNH adopted new accounting guidance on fair value measurements, business combinations and noncontrolling interests. In April 2009 CNH adopted new accounting guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments.

In September, 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued new accounting guidance related to fair value measurements. The new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for the measurement of fair value, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance does not require any new fair value measures but rather eliminates inconsistencies in previous guidance. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, in February 2008, the effective date of the guidance was delayed to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). On January 1, 2008, CNH adopted the guidance except as it applied to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The adoption of the remaining guidance for all remaining nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact to CNH’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on business combinations which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination has to recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The guidance also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The new guidance is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact on CNH’s financial position and results of operations.

In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on noncontrolling interests which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parent’s ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The guidance also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and the accounting requirements were applied prospectively to all non-controlling interests, including those that arose before the effective date. The presentation and disclosure requirements were applied retrospectively for all periods presented, as required by the guidance.

In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends the other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities. Under this guidance, an other-than-temporary-impairment must be recognized if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, the guidance changes the amount of impairment to be recognized in current-period earnings when an investor does not have the intent to sell or will not be required to sell the debt security, as in these cases only the amount of the impairment associated with credit losses is recognized in income. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the guidance as of April 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on CNH’s financial position and results of operations.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which changes the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The guidance eliminates the concept of a “qualifying special-purpose entity,” changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entity’s continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2009. We will adopt the guidance in 2010 and are evaluating the impact it will have to our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends the accounting for variable interest entities. The guidance significantly changes the criteria for determining whether the consolidation of a variable interest entity is required. The guidance also addresses the effect of changes required by the new accounting guidance which changes the accounting for transfers of financial assets, increases the frequency for reassessing consolidation of variable interest entities and creates new disclosure requirements about an entity’s involvement in a variable interest entity. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. We will adopt the guidance in 2010 and are evaluating the impact it will have to our consolidated financial statements. At this time we expect that it will be necessary to consolidate a significant portion, if not all, of our off-book receivables and related liabilities upon adoption of this guidance.

3. Stock-Based Compensation Plans – Stock-based compensation consists of stock options and performance-based shares that have been granted under the CNH Equity Incentive Plan (“CNH EIP”) and the CNH Outside Directors’ Compensation Plan. For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, pre-tax stock-based compensation costs were $8 million and $21 million, respectively. For the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, pre-tax stock-based compensation costs were $4 million and $7 million, respectively.

In April 2009, CNH granted approximately 4.1 million performance-based stock options (at targeted performance levels) under the CNH EIP. One-third of the options will vest if specified fiscal 2009 targets are achieved when 2009 results are approved by the Board of Directors in the first quarter of

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

2010 (the “Determination Date”). The remaining options will vest equally on the first and second anniversary of the Determination Date. The actual number of options that vest may exceed 4.1 million if CNH’s 2009 performance exceeds targets; however, if minimum target levels are not achieved, the options will not vest. This grant has a contractual life of five years from the Determination date. The grant date fair value of $9.03 was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model.

The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model were:

 

Risk-free interest rate

   1.61

Expected volatility

   70.63

Expected life

   3.73 years   

Dividend yield

   0.70

The risk-free interest rate is based on the current U.S. Treasury rate for a bond of approximately the expected life of the options. The expected volatility is based on the historical activity of CNH’s common shares over a period equal to the expected life of the options. The expected life is based on the average of the vesting period of each vesting tranche and the original contract term of 69 months. The expected dividend yield is based on the annual dividends which have been paid on CNH’s common shares over the past several years.

4. Accounts and Notes Receivable In CNH’s receivables securitization programs, certain retail, wholesale and credit card receivables are sold and not included in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the principal amount of the retail and wholesale receivables in the United States, Canada and Europe which are not included in the consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008:

 

     September 30,

Wholesale receivables

   $ 2,093    $ 2,328

Credit card receivables

     180      186
             

Total

   $ 5,622    $ 5,558
             

During the third quarter of 2009, no additional retail receivables were securitized. The US wholesale securitization facility closed a TALF eligible $583 million term securitization with a three year maturity concurrent with the maturity of a $750 million term deal and the repayment of a maturing $200 million note. This decreased the total US wholesale securitization facility limit to $1.4 billion. In August, the Canadian securitization facility had a C$190 million ($172 million) term deal mature. Europe continues to expand its factoring programs in certain European jurisdictions. The amount of outstanding wholesale receivables under these factoring programs was €684 million ($1.0 billion) of which €493 million ($722 million) were sold and, accordingly, removed from the balance sheet.

The construction equipment reporting units experienced operating losses and other business factors that are different than anticipated at year end 2008. As a result, the Company determined that it needed to evaluate whether or not impairment of goodwill existed at June 30 and September 30, 2009. These evaluations indicated that no goodwill impairment existed on the construction equipment businesses at either date.

As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the Company’s other intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following:

At September 30, 2009, CNH had approximately $3.9 billion available under $9.2 billion total lines of credit and asset-backed facilities.

Consolidated long term debt includes current maturities of long term debt of $2.5 billion.

On June 1, 2009 the 6% Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million came to maturity and were fully paid back out of CNH’s own liquidity.

On August 17, 2009, Case New Holland, Inc. completed a private offering of $1.0 billion of 7.75% senior notes (the “7.75% Senior Notes”). The 7.75% Senior Notes are due in 2013 and are guaranteed by CNH and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The net proceeds of this offering were approximately $955 million. The proceeds from this offering are being used primarily for repayment of debt, including repayment of debt owed to Fiat, and general corporate purposes.

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 day’s notice. To the extent that Fiat affiliates are unable to return any such amounts upon one business day’s 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 CNH’s ability to recover its funds to the extent one or more of the above described events were to occur.

8. Income Taxes – For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, consolidated effective income tax rates were (51.8%) and 33.1%, respectively. For 2009, the tax rate differs from the Netherlands statutory rate of 25.5% due primarily to the impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized, recording valuation allowances against previously recognized deferred tax assets, provisioning of unrecognized tax benefits, and enacted changes in tax rates. For 2008, tax rates differ from the Netherlands statutory rate of 25.5% due primarily to higher tax rates in certain jurisdictions, tax credits and incentives, provisioning of unrecognized tax benefits, utilization of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no tax benefit was previously recognized, impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized and enacted changes in tax rates.

Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of deferred tax assets. The Company has recorded valuation allowances to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount it believes more likely than not to be realized. A change in judgment as to the realizability of the Company’s deferred tax assets may significantly impact CNH’s results of operations and financial position in the period that such a determination is made.

The Company is engaged in competent authority income tax proceedings at September 30, 2009. The Company anticipates reaching a settlement with competent authority within the next twelve months that may result in a tax deficiency assessment for which there should be correlative relief under competent authority. The potential tax deficiency assessment could have a net effect on cash flows in the range of $45 million to $50 million. The Company has provided for the uncertain tax positions and related competent authority recovery. The Company does not believe that the resolution of the competent authority proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.

9. Restructuring During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, expense and utilization related to restructuring were as follows:

In April 2009, CNH announced a global consolidation and reorganization plan to further adjust cost and operating levels in light of the economic downturn. These actions include optimizing its manufacturing footprint and reducing salaried headcount. In June 2009, CNH announced it had started the process for the closing of its construction equipment plant located in Imola, Italy and to relocate that production to other CNH facilities. In July 2009, CNH announced it had reorganized its Construction Equipment business’s management structure. Restructuring expense

for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 primarily consists of employee-related costs incurred due to headcount reduction actions being implemented under these plans. Utilization primarily represents payments of voluntary and involuntary employee severance costs, benefit plan curtailments and costs related to closing of facilities. CNH anticipates that the total cost of the actions that were initiated in the second and third quarters will be approximately $121 million before tax. Approximately $70 million and $8 million, before tax, was recognized in the second and third quarters of 2009, respectively. The balance is expected to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2009 and in 2010.

10. Commitments and Contingencies CNH pays for warranty costs and the cost of major programs to modify products in the customers’ possession within certain pre-established time periods.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements—(Continued)

 

16. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures – CNH, in its quarterly unaudited condensed financial statements, 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. CNH’s management believes these non-GAAP measures provide useful supplementary information to investors in order that they may evaluate CNH’s 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. An explanation and reconciliation of the measures to U.S. GAAP follows.

Net Income (Loss) Before Restructuring, After Tax and Earnings (Loss) Per Share Before Restructuring, After Tax

CNH defines net income (loss) before restructuring, after tax, as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) attributable to CNH, less U.S. GAAP restructuring charges, after tax applicable to the restructuring charges.

Working Capital

Equipment Operations working capital is defined as accounts and notes receivable and other-net, excluding intersegment notes receivable, plus inventories less accounts payable. The U.S. dollar computation of working capital, as defined, is impacted by foreign exchange (FX) rate movements. To demonstrate the impact of these movements, we have computed working capital as of September 30, 2009 using December 31, 2008 exchange rates.

Equipment Operations Change in Net Sales on a Constant Currency Basis

CNH defines the change in net sales on a constant currency basis as the difference between prior year actual net sales and current year net sales translated at prior year average exchange rates. Elimination of the currency translation effect provides constant comparisons without the distortion of currency rate fluctuations.

Forward Looking Statements

This presentation includes “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this press release, including statements regarding our competitive strengths, business strategy, future financial position, operating results, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. These statements may include terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “could,” “should,” “intend,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “outlook,” “continue,” “remain,” “on track,” “goal,” or similar terminology.

Our outlook is predominantly based on our interpretation of what we consider key economic assumptions and involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Crop production and commodity prices are strongly affected by weather and can fluctuate significantly. Housing starts and other construction activity are sensitive to the availability of credit and to interest rates and government spending. Some of the other significant factors which may impact our results include general economic and capital market conditions, the cyclical nature of our business, customer buying patterns and preferences, foreign currency exchange rate movements, our hedging practices and our customers’ access to credit, actions by rating agencies concerning the ratings of our debt securities and asset backed securities and the ratings of Fiat S.p.A., risks related to our relationship with Fiat S.p.A., political uncertainty and civil unrest or war in various areas of the world, pricing, product initiatives and other actions taken by competitors, disruptions in production capacity, excess inventory levels, the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including government subsidies and international trade regulations), the results of legal proceedings, technological difficulties, results of our research and development activities, changes in environmental laws, employee and labor relations, pension and health care costs, relations with and the financial strength of dealers, the cost and availability of supplies from our suppliers, raw material costs and availability, energy prices, real estate values, animal diseases, crop pests, harvest yields, government farm programs and consumer confidence, housing starts and construction activity, concerns related to modified organisms and fuel and fertilizer costs. Additionally, our achievement of the anticipated benefits of our profit improvement initiatives depends upon, among other things, industry volumes as well as our ability to effectively rationalize our operations and to execute our brand strategy. Further information concerning factors that could significantly affect expected results is included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2008.

We can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors we disclose that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements.

Net Income (Loss) Before Restructuring – After Tax

CNH defines net income (loss) before restructuring, after tax as U.S. GAAP net income (loss), less restructuring expense, after tax. We believe that net income (loss) before restructuring, after tax is a useful figure for measuring the performance of our operations.

Net income (loss) before restructuring, after tax is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as this term is defined under the Securities Act. As a result, the following table reconciles U.S. GAAP net income (loss) to net income (loss) before restructuring, after tax, for all periods presented and the related pro-forma computation of earnings per share:

(U.S. GAAP, US$ in mils., except per share data)

Net Debt (Cash) of Equipment Operations is defined as total debt of Equipment Operations less cash and cash equivalents, deposits in Fiat affiliates cash management pools and inter-segment notes receivables. We believe that Net Debt (Cash), as defined, is a useful analytical tool for measuring our effective borrowing requirements, excluding our inter-segment Notes Receivable from Financial Services and the effect of certain of our cash management practices.

Equipment Operations Change in Net Debt (Cash)

We believe that the change in Net Debt (Cash) of Equipment Operations, as defined elsewhere in this presentation, is a useful analytical tool for measuring changes in our effective borrowing requirements, excluding our inter-segment notes receivable from Financial Services and the effect of certain of our cash management practices.

The change in Net Debt (Cash) should not be considered an alternative to the statement of cash flows prepared under U.S. GAAP for purposes of evaluating sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents.

Change in Net Debt (Cash) is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as this term is defined under the Securities Act. As a result, the following slide reconciles the increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents, the U.S. GAAP financial measure which we believe to be most comparable, to (increase) decrease in Net Debt (Cash).

Equipment Operations Adjusted EBITDA

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to CNH of Equipment Operations excluding (i) net interest expense, (ii) income tax provision (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) restructuring. Net interest expense is defined as (i) interest expense (excluding interest compensation to Financial Services) less (ii) finance and interest income.

We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a measure commonly used by financial analysts because of its usefulness in evaluating operating performance. Adjusted EBITDA does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered an alternative to net income or net cash from operating activities under U.S. GAAP for purposes of evaluating results of operations and cash flows.

Adjusted EBITDA is a “non-GAAP financial measure” as this term is defined under the Securities Act. As a result, the following slide reconciles net cash from operating activities, the U.S. GAAP financial measure which we believe to be most directly comparable, to Adjusted EBITDA.

Market Share / Market Position Data

Certain market and share information in this report has been presented on a worldwide basis which includes all countries, with the exception of India.

In this report, management estimates of market share information are generally based on retail unit data in North America, on registrations of equipment in most of Europe, Brazil, and various Rest of World markets and on retail and shipment unit data collected by a central information bureau appointed by Equipment Manufacturers Associations including the Association of Equipment Manufacturers in North America, the Committee for European Construction Equipment in Europe, the ANFAVEA in Brazil, the Japan Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association and the Korea Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association, as well as on other shipment data collected by an independent service bureau.

Not all agricultural or construction equipment is registered, and registration data may thus underestimate, perhaps substantially, actual retail industry unit sales demand, particularly for local manufacturers in China, Russia, Turkey, and Brazil.

In addition, there may also be a period of time between the shipment, delivery, sale and/or registration of a unit, which must be estimated, in making any adjustments to the shipment, delivery, sale, or registration data to determine our estimates of retail unit data in any period.
