| Worldwide CNH agricultural retail unit volumes showed particular strength in higher horsepower tractors and combines, with increased agricultural industry demand throughout the Americas and Western Europe. | ||
| Worldwide construction equipment industry and CNH retail unit sales were up, with sales outside of North America showing continued strength, more than compensating for weaker industry unit sales in North America. | ||
| Higher economic-related cost increases, primarily on steel-based products, were offset by positive impacts of exchange rate changes, driving another quarter of positive net price recovery. | ||
| Equipment Operations remained in a Net Cash position throughout the quarter. During the quarter the company fully redeemed $1.05 billion of 9 1/4% Senior Notes due 2011, allowing CNH to improve its balance sheet structure and better manage its liquidity. Pre-tax redemption costs of $57 million ($0.15 per diluted share, net of tax) were incurred in the quarter. | ||
| CNH, in September, submitted a response in a consolidated arbitration proceeding pending in London before the ICC International Court of Arbitration and booked a provision of $45 million. This cost was included in CNHs third quarter results, reducing its reported diluted earnings per share, net of tax, by $0.12 for the quarter. | ||
| In the third quarter, the company revised its forecast annual consolidated effective tax rate from approximately 40% to 37%, principally due to stronger earnings in certain jurisdictions where no previous tax benefit has been recognized, change in the mix of income from generally higher tax jurisdictions to relatively lower tax jurisdictions, and tax credits and incentives, resulting in a consolidated effective tax rate of 25.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2007. | ||
| In August, CNHs Financial Services in Europe acquired sole ownership of a special purpose trust used to securitize certain wholesale receivables in Europe. Financial Services also took over funding the trust, repaying the third party financing. The transaction was financed through an increase in a debt facility with a related party. Accordingly, Financial Services consolidated approximately $715 million of the trusts assets and liabilities on its balance sheet as of September 30, 2007. | ||
| Conditions in the Brazilian agricultural equipment market have continued to improve with total tractor and combine industry unit sales up 67% compared with the third quarter of 2006 driven primarily by higher soybean and corn prices. The Brazilian government has announced new subsidy programs to support the market but the detailed regulations have not yet been released. |

| Agricultural equipment net sales increased to $2.3 billion, up 36% (including 6% related to currency variations), compared with the prior year. | ||
| Net sales were up 98% in Latin America (including 9% related to currency variations), up 38% in North America (including 1% related to currency variations), up 26% in Rest-of-World markets (including 8% related to currency variations) and up 25% in Western Europe (including 9% related to currency variations). |
| Construction equipment net sales increased to $1.3 billion, up 28% (including 6% related to currency variations), compared to the prior year. | ||
| Net sales were up 95% in Rest-of-World markets (including 7% related to currency variations), up 69% in Latin America (including 9% related to currency variations), up 39% in Western Europe (including 8% related to currency variations) but down 7% in North America (including positive 1% related to currency variations). |
| Agricultural equipment gross margin increased in both dollars and as a percent of net sales compared to the prior year. Higher volumes, better mix and improved quality costs were the primary contributors. | ||
| Construction equipment gross margin increased both in dollars and as a percent of net sales compared to the prior year. Positive industry and retail performance outside of North America and positive net price recovery were offset by effects of the decline in the North American industry. |

| Agricultural equipment net sales increased to $7.2 billion, up 22% (including 5% related to currency variations), compared with the prior year. | ||
| Net sales were up 81% in Latin America (including 7% related to currency variations), up 28% in Rest-of-World markets (including 6% related to currency variations), up 24% in Western Europe (including 9% related to currency variations) and up 10% in North America (with no impact from currency variations). |
| Construction equipment net sales increased to $3.7 billion, up 15% (including 5% related to currency variations), compared to the prior year. | ||
| Net sales were up 85% in Rest-of-World markets (including 7% related to currency variations), up 46% in Latin America (including 7% related to currency variations), up 40% in Western Europe (including 8% related to currency variations) but down 21% in North America (with no impact from currency variations). |

| Agricultural equipment gross margin increased both in dollars and as a percent of net sales compared to the prior year. Higher volumes and better mix, positive net price recovery and reduced quality costs were the primary contributors to the improvement. | ||
| Construction equipment gross margin also increased both in dollars and as a percent of net sales compared to the prior year. Positive industry and retail performance outside of North America, positive net price recovery and reduced quality costs were offset by effects of the industry decline in North America and CNHs actions to reduce dealer inventories. |

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. 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 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, 2006 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on March 31, 2007. | |
CNH is controlled by Fiat Netherlands Holding N.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A. (Fiat). As of September 30, 2007, 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 of accounting. The supplemental financial information captioned Financial Services reflects the combination of CNHs financial services businesses. | ||
2. | Stock-Based Compensation Plans In February, 2007, CNH granted approximately 1.5 million performance-based stock options (at targeted performance levels) which may result in an estimated expense over the vesting period of approximately $18 million under the CNH Equity Incentive Plan (CNH EIP). One-third of the options will vest if specified fiscal 2007 targets are achieved when 2007 results are approved by the Board of Directors in the first quarter of 2008 (the Determination Date). The remaining options will vest equally on the first and second anniversary of the Determination Date. The actual number of shares vesting may exceed 1.5 million if CNHs performance exceeds targets; however, if minimum target levels are not achieved, the options will not vest. Options granted under the CNH EIP have a contractual life of five years from the Determination Date or approximately six years. The grant date fair value of $12.65 per option was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. | |
The assumptions used in this model were: |
Risk-free interest rate |
4.40 | % | ||
Expected volatility |
38.32 | % | ||
Expected life |
4.0 years | |||
Dividend yield |
0.97 | % |

3. | Accounts and Notes Receivable - In CNHs receivable securitization programs, certain retail and wholesale finance receivables are sold and therefore are not included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. | |
The amounts outstanding under these retail programs were $4.9 billion at September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006. In addition to the retail securitization programs, certain subsidiaries of CNH securitized or discounted wholesale receivables without recourse to QSPEs. As of September 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, $2.3 billion and $3.7 billion, respectively remained outstanding under these programs. | ||
Starting in March, 2007, programs to sell receivables from Equipment Operations to Financial Services were expanded to include certain export receivables that were previously held by Equipment Operations. As of September 30, 2007, approximately $364 million of these export receivables remained outstanding. | ||
Prior to August 3, 2007, certain of the Companys Equipment Operations and Financial Services subsidiaries in Europe would sell Euro and British pound denominated wholesale receivables, directly or indirectly, to a special purpose trust. The trust consisted of two third party bank-sponsored conduits. The securitization transactions that occurred in this structure were also accounted for as sales of receivables. On August 3, 2007, the Company acquired the sole share in the special purpose trust. Subsequently on August 30, 2007, the Company repaid the two third party bank-sponsored investors in the special purpose trust through an increase in a debt facility with a related party, Fiat Finance and Trade Ltd. With the elimination of the third party interest in the structure and the acquisition of the special purpose trust, the Company consolidated the special purpose trust on a prospective basis. Accordingly, the Company included in the balance sheet as of September 30, 2007 approximately $715 million of previously sold wholesale receivables. In addition, approximately $5 million of assets were reclassified to third party accounts and notes receivable from other assets, which represented the amounts previously recorded as retained interests in the transferred wholesale receivables. |

7. | Income Taxes 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. For a tax position to be recognized, it must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The adoption of FIN 48 by CNH, which was effective as of January 1, 2007, resulted in a reduction of shareholders equity in the first quarter of 2007 of approximately $49 million. | |
For the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, effective income tax rates were 25.9% and 40.2%, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2006, effective income tax rates were 36.9% and 41.5%, respectively. For 2007, 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 previous tax benefit was recognized, and the impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized. For 2006, tax rates differ from the Netherlands statutory rate of 29.6% due primarily to higher tax rates in certain jurisdictions, reversal of valuation allowances on deferred tax assets in certain jurisdictions where it was deemed more-likely-than-not that the assets will be realized, and the impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized. | ||
The Company is currently engaged in competent authority proceedings at September 30, 2007. 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 an effect on the Companys quarterly or annual cash flows in the range of $50 million to $60 million. The Company has provided for the unrecognized tax benefits and related competent authority recovery under FIN 48. The Company does not believe that the resolution of the competent authority proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the results of operation. | ||

10. | Employee Benefit Plans During the second quarter 2007 and 2006, CNH made discretionary contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan trust of approximately $30 million and $120 million, respectively. CNH is currently evaluating options to begin funding, as early as the fourth quarter of 2007, its U.S. postretirement medical benefits. | |
11. | Shareholders Equity - Shareholders approved a dividend of $0.25 per common share which was paid on April 30, 2007 to shareholders of record at the close of business on April 23, 2007. | |
Pursuant to these terms, the 8 million shares of Series A Preferred Stock automatically converted into 100 million newly issued CNH common shares in March 23, 2006 in a non-cash transaction. | ||
As of September 30, 2007, CNH had 237.0 million common shares outstanding. |

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. |
