CNH Industrial (CNHI - Free Report) posted second-quarter 2022 adjusted earnings per share of 43 cents, which increased 16.2% from 37 cents in the prior-year quarter and topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 37 cents. Higher-than-anticipated revenues across the Agricultural Equipment and the Financial Services segments resulted in this outperformance.
In the second quarter, consolidated revenues rose 18% from the year-ago level to $6,082 million and topped the consensus mark of $5,859 million. The company’s net sales for industrial activities came in at $5,613 million, up 18%, led by favorable pricing.
CNH Industrial N.V. Price, Consensus and EPS Surprise
In the June quarter, net sales in the Agricultural Equipment segment jumped 19% year over year to $4,722 million due to a favorable price realization and mix mainly driven by the North America and South America regions. The metric also topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $4,454 million. The segment’s adjusted EBIT came in at $663 million, rising 13.9% year over year and driven by higher gross profit and topping the consensus mark of $631 million. The adjusted EBIT margin however, decreased to 14% from 14.7% amid increased selling, general & administrative (SG&A) and research & development (R&D).
The Construction Equipment segment’s sales grew 10% year over year to $891 million in the quarter, led by price realization and contribution from the Sampierana business. But, revenues missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $892 million. Adjusted EBIT came in at $34 million, gaining 41.2% on the back of favorable volume and a positive price realization. Nonetheless, the figure nominally lagged the consensus mark of $34.16 million. The adjusted EBIT margin fell to 3.8% from 3% in the year-ago quarter amid unfavorable fixed costs absorption and higher freight and raw material costs.
The Financial Services segment revenues went up 20% to $471 million and topped the consensus mark of $427 million on higher used equipment sales, base rates in South America and average portfolios across all regions. Net income from the segment jumped 11.8% to $95 million.
