“We are taking deliberate and disciplined actions to navigate the current market conditions while simultaneously positioning the business for the next cycle upturn and long-term success.” — CEO
“The North American sales decline represents over 90% of the total decline in ag sales.” — CEO
“We do not, however, expect that this will necessarily continue in Q3 and Q4 as it depends on how and when the U.S. tariffs and potential retaliations will impact our industry.” — CEO (关于价格与成本优势)
“Our free cash flow will likely be closer to the upper end of the range as we expect the favorable working capital management we have experienced in the first half to be maintained in the second half.” — CEO
“We remain aligned with our global dealer base and are on track to achieve our target levels of newly built machine inventory by year-end, and we expect to produce in line with retail demand sometime in the second half and into 2026.” — CEO

Q&A Batch (1-5 of 12)
Q1 — Angel Castillo
Topic: Agricultural inventory destocking progress and regional specifics
Key points:
Previously had ~$1 billion excess Ag inventory; reduced by another $200 million in Q2, leaving ~$800 million still above target.
Elevated stock in North America for small/medium tractors (imported), partly due to tariff uncertainty; South America at desired levels; Europe working through used stock ahead of new mid-range tractor launches.
Some European markets (Poland, Germany) showed accelerating retail, requiring backfill from company inventory.
Mgmt stance: Neutral – on track to reach retail-sales-level production by year-end, but cautious on small tractor levels in North America due to trade risks.
Q2 — Kyle David Menges
Topic: 2026 outlook and early order book trends
Key points:
2025 expected to be the trough; 2026 depends on tariff clarity, U.S. “Big Beautiful Bill” (positive mid-to-long term, not short term), and China-U.S. trade deal impact on Brazil.
In EMEA, Africa/Middle East strong; Europe early signs of recovery; South America ready but needs certainty on Brazil-U.S. tariff retaliation (50% discussed) and China commodity imports.
Once production equals retail pace by end of 2025, even a flat 2026 market would boost wholesale and revenues.
Mgmt stance: Cautiously bullish – trough confirmed for 2025, but 2026 recovery hinges on external policy clarity.
Q3 — Jamie Lyn Cook
Topic: Earnings growth levers for 2026 and pricing strategy
Key points:
Pricing will be positive for full year 2025; model year ’26 pricing increased, driven by higher value content and tariff coverage.
Three tariff countermeasures: pricing, supplier cost sharing, and internal cost discipline (sourcing, quality). Year-to-date quality expenses significantly below prior year.
Net pricing (list price minus discounts) varies by region: Europe (demand picking up) allows more pricing power; North America (flat demand) more muted due to competition.
Mgmt stance: Bullish – multiple self-help levers (cost, quality, sourcing) and positive pricing trajectory, but discount levels depend on market conditions.
Q4 — Timothy W. Thein
Topic: Tractor production vs. retail divergence on Slide 19
Key points:
Chart shows units, not value; mix matters: high-horsepower tractors (North America) underproduced, combines underproduced in Latin America to deplete inventory.
In Europe, restocking combines for season; overall tractor production and retail appear aligned on a unit basis, but value and regional splits differ.
Mgmt stance: Neutral – progress is good regionally and by product line, but unit-level chart masks significant mix and value differences.
Q5 — Kristen Owen
Topic: European green shoots and CNH’s tractor performance
Key points:
Demand recovery in Europe is tractor-led, not yet in combines; CNH defended or slightly grew tractor shares in some countries with certain models.
Poland had strong tractor/combine sales due to a purchase program and good season; Germany also showed positive retail.
Confidence indexes show farmers regaining positive attitude, but sustainability is uncertain due to potential destocking by competitors.
Full-year price-cost expected to be positive; Q2 was positive after a slightly negative Q1.
Adjusted prices increased around May, with positive pricing across the year; Q2 cost improvement partly helped by FIFO (lower-cost components procured before 10% flat tariff).
FIFO benefit in Q2 will not repeat in Q3 and Q4; a large part of cost improvement is structural (quality-related).
Mgmt stance: Bullish — price-cost tracking as planned, with positive pricing and structural cost gains despite low production levels.
Q7 — Tami Zakaria
Topic: Ag segment operating margin pattern in Q3 vs Q4
Key points:
Q3 expected to have a slight step down versus Q2, followed by a strong rebound in Q4.
Historical patterns and trends will repeat, aligning with the full-year Ag guidance.
Mgmt stance: Neutral — confirms typical seasonal pattern, no deviation from prior guidance.
Q8 — Michael Shlisky
Topic: New CFO’s view on initiatives and strategy
Key points:
Quality is the primary focus; year-to-date lower quality expenses will continue for the full year and beyond.
Precision technology stack is making “quick rebounds,” expected to drive higher pricing over time.
Strategic sourcing flywheel is delivering benefits this year, growing through 2030.
Mgmt stance: Bullish — the May Investor Day strategy is “spot on,” with quality and technology as key tailwinds.
Q9 — Edward Randolph Jackson
Topic: North American market pricing spread between new and used equipment
Key points:
There is a price differential between new and used; increased financial efforts and dealer support deployed to move used machines.
Retail plans with financial services and dealers aim to reduce both new and used inventory by year-end.
Model year ’26 machines have updates on iron and technology, setting them apart from prior models and used equipment.
Mgmt stance: Neutral — acknowledges the challenge, but has programmed retail plans and financial efforts into overall guidance; tracking dealer by dealer.
Q10 — Avinatan Jaroslawicz
Topic: Timing of tariff impacts on EBIT
Key points:
Virtually no tariff effect in Q2; close to $120 million negative EBIT impact expected in the second half of 2025.
No tariffs affected Q1 2025; very little in Q2, so year-over-year headwind in Q1 and Q2 2026.
Mitigation efforts include sharing with suppliers, internal cost reductions, and price increases.
Mgmt stance: Cautious — tariffs will grow through H2 2025, with uncertain 2026 outlook; actively working on offsets.
