CNH Global N.V.
Summary North American Retail Unit Sales Activity
For Selected Agricultural and Construction Equipment
During the Month of May and Cumulative for 5 Months 2007,
and Indicators of North American Dealer Inventory Levels for Selected Agricultural
Equipment at the End of April 2007
Relative to Industry Results or Levels, Compared with Prior Year Periods
The following table summarizes selected agricultural and construction equipment industry retail
unit sales results in North America as compared with prior year periods. Industry results for the
current periods are expressed as a percentage change from the prior year periods, by major product
category. The percentage change reflects only industry retail unit sales results and is derived
from flash, or preliminary actual, data of the U.S. Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM)
and of the Canadian Farm and Industrial Equipment Institute (CFIEI).
These industry data are based on unit sales as preliminarily reported by AEM and CFIEI member
companies and include most, but not all, of the equipment sold in each of the categories. The data
are subject to revision from time to time and caution should be maintained when using the data for
any purpose. Actual results will vary and may not be known for some time. Over time, industry
results will be adjusted to reflect actual sales differences, reclassifications, or other factors.
Retail unit sales will fluctuate from month to month due to several factors, including timing of
new products and new product introductions, product availability, and sales programs. CNH Global
N.V.s performance for the same periods is described relative to the change in industry results.
Also included in the table are indicators of North American dealer inventory levels. Industry data
are derived from the flash, or preliminary actual, data of the AEM and CFIEI and expressed as the
number of months of inventory on hand, based on the simple average of the previous 12 months retail
unit sales results. CNH Global N.V.s dealers inventory levels for the same periods are described
relative to the industry levels.
This information reflects point-in-time data that is not necessarily representative of either the
market or of CNH Global N.V.s relative performance going forward, nor does it reflect or imply any
forward-looking information regarding the market or CNH Global N.V.s relative performance in that
market.
Copies of the relevant monthly Agricultural Flash reports from AEM and CFIEI follow the table.
