Agricultural Equipment's net sales increased 9% for the full year 2018 compared to 2017 (up 10% on a constant currency basis). The increase was driven by a sustained price realization performance, coupled with a stabilization of end-user demand in most of our markets, including emerging evidence of a replacement cycle in the row crop sector in North America. In the fourth quarter of 2018, Agricultural Equipment's net sales slightly increased compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 (up 5% on a constant currency basis). Net sales increased in North America due to favorable volume and positive net price realization, partially offset by a decrease in the other regions.
Full year 2018 adjusted EBIT was \$1,036 million, a \$245 million increase compared to \$791 million in 2017, mainly due to positive net price realization and favorable volume in most of our regions, partially offset by the sustained investment in product development, related primarily to precision farming and compliance with Stage V emission regulations. Adjusted EBIT margin increased 1.5 p.p. to 8.9%. In the fourth quarter of 2018, adjusted EBIT was \$258 million, a \$16 million increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2017, primarily due to favorable volume and price realization in excess of raw material and tariffs headwinds. In the fourth quarter of 2018, adjusted EBIT margin was 8.2% compared to 7.7% in the fourth quarter of 2017.
Construction Equipment's net sales increased 19% in the full year 2018 compared to the same period in 2017 (up 20% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to increased end-user demand in all regions and favorable net price realization. In the fourth quarter of 2018, net sales increased 7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 (up 10% on a constant currency basis), driven by sustained end-user demand across most regions.
Full year 2018 adjusted EBIT was \$91 million, a \$107 million increase compared to 2017, with an adjusted EBIT margin of 3.0% (up 3.6 p.p. compared to 2017). The increase was due to higher sales volume, favorable mix and positive net price realization more than offsetting raw material cost increases, mainly in North America. In the fourth quarter of 2018, adjusted EBIT was \$32 million, with an adjusted EBIT margin of 3.9%, up 3.1 p.p. Results were primarily impacted by positive net price realization and manufacturing efficiencies, more than offsetting raw material cost increases.
Commercial Vehicles' net sales increased 4% in the full year 2018 compared to 2017 (up 1% on a constant currency basis), as a result of positive pricing and a favorable product mix. In the fourth quarter of 2018, net sales decreased 4% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 (down 1% on a constant currency basis), as a result of lower volumes, primarily in heavy vehicle trucks in EMEA attributable to an enhanced focus on sales across a more profitable product portfolio, including alternative propulsion vehicles, partially offset by favorable pricing.
Full year 2018 adjusted EBIT was \$299 million, a 53% increase compared to 2017, mainly due to a favorable product mix in light duty trucks and buses, and to the focus on sales of alternative propulsion solutions in heavy duty trucks. Positive price realization in trucks and manufacturing efficiencies also contributed to the improved results. Adjusted EBIT margin increased 0.9 p.p. to 2.7%. In the fourth quarter of 2018, adjusted EBIT was \$90 million (\$63 million in the fourth quarter of 2017), with an adjusted EBIT margin of 2.9% (adjusted EBIT margin of 1.9% in the fourth quarter of 2017). The increase was primarily driven by positive pricing, primarily in the truck product line-up.
Powertrain's net sales increased 5% in the full year of 2018 compared to 2017 (up 1% on a constant currency basis), due to higher sales volume in engine applications. Sales to external customers accounted for 50% of total net sales (48% in 2017). In the fourth quarter of 2018, net sales increased 3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017 (up 6% on a constant currency basis).
Full year 2018 adjusted EBIT was \$406 million, a \$46 million increase compared to \$360 million in 2017, mainly due to favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by higher product development spending. Adjusted EBIT margin increased 0.7 p.p. to 8.9%. In the fourth quarter of 2018, adjusted EBIT was \$121 million (\$101 million in the fourth quarter of 2017), as a result of favorable product mix and manufacturing efficiencies, partially offset by higher product development spending. Adjusted EBIT margin was 10.2%, up 1.5 p.p. compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.
Financial Services' revenues totaled \$1,989 million in the full year 2018, a 2% decrease compared to 2017 (down 1% on a constant currency basis), primarily due to a lower average portfolio balance in North America. In the fourth quarter of 2018, revenues totaled \$520 million, a decrease of 3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.
In 2018, retail loan originations (including unconsolidated joint ventures) were \$10.0 billion, up \$0.9 billion compared to 2017. The managed portfolio (including unconsolidated joint ventures) was \$26.3 billion as of December 31, 2018 (of which retail was 62% and wholesale 38%), down \$0.5 billion compared to December 31, 2017. Excluding the impact of currency translation, the managed portfolio increased \$0.7 billion compared to 2017.
Full year 2018 net income was \$385 million, a decrease of \$67 million compared to the same period in 2017, primarily attributable to the one-time tax benefit of \$118 million recorded in 2017 as a result of the write-down of deferred tax liabilities in connection with the enactment of the 2017 U.S. Tax Cut & Jobs Act (the "U.S. Tax Act"). In the fourth quarter of 2018, net income was \$88 million, a decrease of \$104 million compared to the fourth quarter of 2017.
Dividends
The Board of Directors of CNH Industrial N.V. intends to recommend to the Company's shareholders a dividend of €0.18 per common share, representing an increase of approximately 30% over the prior year dividend, and totaling approximately €244 million (~\$278 million). Subject to the approval of shareholders at the upcoming Annual General Meeting (expected on April 12, 2019), the ex-dividend date would be set at April 23, 2019.
2019 Outlook(1)
The performance achieved in 2018 confirms the Company is on track with a profitable growth trajectory, despite a softer macroeconomic and business environment in the second part of the year, caused by escalating trade tensions and related tariffs across global markets, other economic and political uncertainties (including those concerning the outcome of the Brexit negotiations), and a general expectation of a slowdown in global economic growth. In addition, the emerging megatrends in the industries where CNH Industrial competes, such as digitalization, automation, and electrification, entail a re-assessment of the go to market approach and of the capital investment requirements in new technologies for new products and customer solutions.
Subject to this evolving scenario, CNH Industrial is defining 2019 guidance as follows:
- Net sales of Industrial Activities at approximately \$28 billion;
- Adjusted diluted EPS(2) up between 5% and 10% to previous year at a range of \$0.84 to \$0.88 per share;
- Net industrial debt at the end of 2019 between \$0.4 billion and \$0.2 billion.
(1) 2019 guidance does not include any impacts deriving from the gain resulting from the modification of the healthcare plan in the U.S. previously mentioned and anticipated on April 16, 2018, as this gain has been considered non-recurring and therefore treated as an adjusting item for the purpose of the adjusted diluted EPS calculation. In addition, 2019 guidance does not include any impacts deriving from possible further repurchases of Company's shares under the plan authorized by the AGM on April 13, 2018.
(2) Outlook is not provided on diluted EPS, the most comparable GAAP financial measure of this non-GAAP financial measure, as the income or expense excluded from the calculation of adjusted diluted EPS and instead included in the calculation of diluted EPS are, by definition, not predictable and uncertain.

About this Press Release
On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted, on a retrospective basis, updated FASB accounting standards for revenue recognition (ASC 606), retirement benefits accounting (ASU 2017-07) and cash flow presentation (ASU 2016-18). 2017 figures presented in this press release have been recast to reflect the adoption of such updated accounting standards.
Furthermore, concurrently with the change in accounting standards, the Company reviewed the metrics on which the operating segments will be assessed. Effective January 1, 2018, the Chief Operating Decision Maker began to assess segment performance and make decisions about resource allocation based upon Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA.
As such, we have introduced Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA as new non-GAAP measures in our earnings releases this year. These measures replaced our previous Operating Profit non-GAAP measure. The Company believes Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA more fully reflect segment and consolidated profitability. See "Non-GAAP Financial Information" for information about these measures, including how CNH Industrial calculates them.
On April 16, 2018, the Company published a presentation and a webcast to summarize the key impacts on its prior periods' consolidated financial statements deriving from the adoption of the new accounting standards, as well as the introduction of the new metrics Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA.
Additional Information
Today, at 3:30 p.m. CET / 2:30 p.m. GMT/ 9:30 a.m. EST, management will hold a conference call to present 2018 fourth quarter and full year results to financial analysts and institutional investors. The call can be followed live online at http://bit.ly/CNH\_Industrial\_FYQ4\_2018 and a recording will be available later on the Company's website (www.cnhindustrial.com). A presentation will be made available on the CNH Industrial website prior to the call.
Non-GAAP Financial Information
CNH Industrial monitors its operations through the use of several non-GAAP financial measures. CNH Industrial's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful and relevant information regarding its results and allow management and investors to assess CNH Industrial's and our segments' operating trends, financial performance and financial position. Management uses these non-GAAP measures to identify operational trends, as well as make decisions regarding future spending, resource allocations and other operational decisions as they provide additional transparency with respect to our and our business segments' core operations. These non-GAAP financial measures have no standardized meaning presented in U.S. GAAP or EU-IFRS and are unlikely to be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies due to potential differences between the companies in calculations. As a result, the use of these non-GAAP measures has limitations and they should not be considered as substitutes for measures of financial performance and financial position as prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and/or EU-IFRS.
CNH Industrial non-GAAP financial measures are defined as follows:
Adjusted EBIT under U.S. GAAP: is defined as net income (loss) before income taxes, interest expenses of Industrial Activities, net, restructuring expenses, the finance and non-service component of pension and other post-employment benefit costs, foreign exchange gains/(losses), and certain non-recurring items. In particular, non-recurring items are
specifically disclosed items that management considers rare or discrete events that are infrequent in nature and not reflective of on-going operational activities.
- Adjusted EBITDA under U.S. GAAP: is defined as Adjusted EBIT plus depreciation and amortization (including on assets sold under operating leases and assets sold under buy-back commitments).
- Adjusted EBIT under EU-IFRS: is defined as profit/(loss) before taxes, financial income/(expense) of Industrial Activities, restructuring costs, and certain non-recurring items.
- Adjusted EBITDA under EU-IFRS: is defined as Adjusted EBIT plus depreciation and amortization (including on assets sold under operating leases and assets sold under buy-back commitments).
- Adjusted Net Income (Loss): is defined as net income (loss), less restructuring charges and non-recurring items, after tax.
- Adjusted Diluted EPS: is computed by dividing Adjusted Net Income (loss) attributable to CNH Industrial N.V. by a weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period that takes into consideration potential common shares outstanding deriving from the CNH Industrial share-based payment awards, when inclusion is not antidilutive. When we provide guidance for adjusted diluted EPS, we do not provide guidance on a earnings per share basis because the GAAP measure will include potentially significant items that have not yet occurred and are difficult to predict with reasonable certainty prior to year-end.
- Adjusted Income Taxes: is defined as income taxes less the tax effect of restructuring expenses and non-recurring items and non-recurring tax charges or benefits.
- Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (Adjusted ETR): is computed by dividing a) adjusted income taxes by b) income (loss) before income taxes and equity in income of unconsolidated subsidiaries and affiliates, less restructuring expenses and nonrecurring items.
- Net Debt and Net Debt of Industrial Activities (or Net Industrial Debt): Net Debt is defined as total debt less intersegment notes receivable, cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash and derivative hedging debt. CNH Industrial provides the reconciliation of Net Debt to Total Debt, which is the most directly comparable measure included in the consolidated balance sheets. Due to different sources of cash flows used for the repayment of the debt between Industrial Activities and Financial Services (by cash from operations for Industrial Activities and by collection of financing receivables for Financial Services), management separately evaluates the cash flow performance of Industrial Activities using Net Debt of Industrial Activities.
- Available Liquidity: is defined as cash and cash equivalents plus restricted cash and undrawn committed facilities.
- Change excl. FX or Constant Currency: CNH Industrial discusses the fluctuations in revenues on a constant currency basis by applying the prior year average exchange rates to current year's revenues expressed in local currency in order to eliminate the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations.
The tables attached to this press release provide reconciliations of the non-GAAP measures used in this press release to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Notes:
(*) Concurrently with the changes following the adoption of the new accounting standards, CNH Industrial reviewed the metrics on which the operating segments will be assessed. Starting in 2018, the Chief Operating Decision Maker began to assess segment performance and make decision about resource allocation based upon Adjusted EBIT and Adjusted EBITDA. As a consequence, CNH Industrial no longer reports Trading Profit and Operating Profit on the face of the Income Statement.
(**) 2017 figures have been recast following the retrospective adoption, on January 1, 2018, of the updated accounting standard for revenue recognition (IFRS 15).
(1) In the three months and year ended December 31, 2017, Cost of sales included the charge of \$8 million related to the early redemption of notes. (2) In the year ended December 31, 2018, Other income/(expenses) includes the pre-tax gain of \$527 million related to the modification of a healthcare plan in the U.S. In the three months and year ended December 31, 2017, this item included a non-cash charge of \$50 million due to the deconsolidation of the Venezuelan operations effective December 31, 2017.
