| Compared with 2004s fourth quarter, material costs, including steel and plastics, have continued to increase, albeit at a more moderate pace; however, the industry pricing environment remained strong and CNH was able to offset these impacts. | ||
| At constant exchange rates, Equipment Operations working capital declined by approximately $320 million during the year, primarily resulting from CNHs initiatives to consolidate management of receivables within its Financial Services operations. |
1
| Equipment Operations net debt declined during the fourth quarter by $120 million. For the full year 2005, net debt declined by $566 million to $719 million, in part, due to the reduction in working capital. At year-end 2005 CNH Equipment Operations net-debt-to-net-capitalization ratio was 12.5%, compared to 20.4% at year-end 2004. |
| Introduction of new products and models with high horsepower Tier 3 compliant engines, including: |
o | 26 from Case IH Agricultural Equipment (tractors, combines, sprayers and precision farming tools) | ||
o | 29 from New Holland Agricultural Equipment (tractors, combines and hay & forage equipment) | ||
o | 44 from Case Construction Equipment (backhoe loaders, excavators and wheel loaders) and | ||
o | 60 from New Holland Construction Equipment (backhoe loaders, skid steers and excavators ) |
| Improvements in product quality and reliability | ||
| Improvement in logistics |

§ | Excluding currency variations, CNH sales in North America were up 4%. Sales in Europe were down 2%. The industry decline in Latin America continued in the fourth quarter, driving down CNHs sales in the region by approximately 37%. Sales in Rest-of-World markets were flat. | |
§ | In the fourth quarter, CNHs production of tractors and combines was approximately 1% lower than retail unit sales in the quarter. |
§ | Construction equipment net sales were $1.0 billion for the fourth quarter, up 9% excluding currency variations, compared to the prior year. | |
§ | Excluding currency variations, North American sales were up 14%. In Europe, sales decreased by 3%. Sales in Latin America and Rest-of-World markets also were up, 44% and 13% respectively. | |

Agricultural Equipment Net Sales |
§ | Agricultural equipment net sales were $7.8 billion, down 4% excluding currency variations, from the prior year. | |
§ | Excluding currency variations: |
| CNHs sales in North America were up 4%. | ||
| Sales in Western Europe were down 6%, driven by the decline in the tractor industry and company actions to reduce production in the fourth quarter. | ||
| The industry decline in Latin America, which was a significant factor behind CNHs total decline in Agricultural equipment net sales, resulted in lower equipment net sales in that region, especially for combine harvesters, by approximately 47%. | ||
| Sales in Rest-of-World markets increased by 6%. |
§ | For the full year, CNHs production of tractors and combines was approximately 5% higher than full-year retail unit sales. |
§ | Net sales of construction equipment were $4.0 billion, up 10% excluding currency variations, from the prior year. | |
§ | Excluding currency variations: |
| North American sales were up 15%, led by strong sales of backhoe loaders. |
4
| In Western Europe, sales decreased by 2% including the effects of reduced fourth quarter production, to manage inventory levels in the flat industry environment. | ||
| Sales in Latin America were up 45%. | ||
| Sales in Rest-of-World markets were up 13%. |
§ | For the full year, CNHs production of major construction equipment products was approximately 5% higher than full-year retail unit sales. |

1. | Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments 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 generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2004 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on April 29, 2005 and any subsequently filed Annual Reports on Form 20-F of the Company. | |
CNH is controlled by Fiat Netherlands Holding N.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A. (Fiat). As of the date of these statements, Fiat owned approximately 83% of CNHs outstanding common shares and all of the issued and outstanding Series A Preference Shares (Series A Preferred Stock). | ||
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 basis. The supplemental financial information captioned Financial Services reflects the combination of CNHs financial services businesses. | ||
2. | Stock-Based Compensation Plans CNH has stock-based employee compensation plans which are more fully described in Note 18, Option and Incentive Plans, to our 2004 Form 20-F. In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123 Revised Share Based Payment (SFAS No. 123 Revised) which is effective July 1, 2005. SFAS No. 123 Revised requires the use of a fair value based method of accounting for stock-based employee compensation. The statement will be applied using a Modified Prospective Method under which compensation cost is recognized beginning on the effective date and continuing until participants are fully vested. In April 2005, the SEC announced the adoption of a new rule that amends the compliance dates for SFAS No. 123 Revised. The SECs new rule allows companies to implement SFAS No. 123 Revised at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period, that begins after June 15, 2005. Adoption of SFAS No. 123 Revised is not expected to have a material impact on the Companys results of operations. | |
In 2003, CNH adopted the fair value based method of accounting for stock-based compensation using the Prospective Method. Additionally, compensation expense is reflected in net income for stock options granted with an exercise price less than the quoted market price of CNH common shares on the date of grant. |

The following table illustrates the effect on net income and earnings per share if the Company had applied the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 Share Based Payment to all stock-based compensation for the three months and years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004: |

3. | Accounts and Notes Receivable In CNHs receivable asset securitization programs, retail finance receivables are sold to limited purpose, bankruptcy remote, consolidated subsidiaries of CNH. In turn, these subsidiaries establish separate trusts to which they transfer the receivables in exchange for the proceeds from asset-backed securities sold by the trusts. Due to the nature of the assets held by the trusts and the limited nature of each trusts activities, they are each classified as a qualifying special purpose entity (QSPE) under SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities (SFAS No. 140). In accordance with SFAS No. 140, assets and liabilities of the QSPEs are not consolidated in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. The amounts outstanding under these programs were $4.7 billion and $4.5 billion at December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. In addition to the retail securitization programs, certain subsidiaries of CNH securitized or discounted wholesale receivables without recourse. As of December 31, 2005 and 2004, $3.1 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively, remained outstanding under these programs. | |
Included in the securitized or discounted wholesale receivables without recourse amount noted above is a wholesale securitization program in Europe under which Equipment Operations entities sell receivables while a Financial Services subsidiary subscribes to notes representing undivided retained interests. In June 2005, this program was expanded to include Equipment Operations |
2
entities in Italy and Belgium. The expansion of this program resulted in receivable sales totaling approximately $216 million in June 2005. The proceeds from these sales were principally used to repay Equipment Operations debt. In September 2005, the one entity in this program previously not qualifying for off book treatment, met the requirements and is now accounted for off book. This resulted in a reduction of Equipment Operations receivables and debt of approximately $64 million in the third quarter of 2005. At December 31, 2005, the balance of Equipment Operations receivables sold into this program in 2005 as a result of its expansion totaled $266 million. At December 31, 2005 and 2004, the amounts outstanding under this program were $709 million and $466 million, respectively and Financial Services had an undivided retained interest of $251 million and $225 million, respectively. | ||
In addition, during the second quarter of 2005, certain Equipment Operations entities in North America expanded their sale of receivables by selling approximately $72 million of additional receivables to Financial Services, principally from national accounts and from the addition of a consolidated joint venture to the program. At December 31, 2005, the balance of receivables sold to Financial Services as a result of these additional actions was approximately $49 million. | ||

During the fourth quarter of 2005, various tax related adjustments totaling approximately $14 million, established in the purchase accounting related to the acquisition of Case Corporation (now known as CNH America LLC, a subsidiary of CNH (CNH America)), were resolved resulting in a reduction of goodwill. This adjustment is reflected in the column Foreign Currency Translation and Other in the table above. |

CNH recorded amortization expense of approximately $46 million and $43 million for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, the estimated amortization expense for each of the years 2006 to 2010 is approximately $46 million. As acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future, as currency fluctuates and as purchase price allocations are finalized, these amounts may vary. |

At December 31, 2005, CNH had approximately $3.5 billion available under $6.5 billion total lines of credit and asset-backed facilities. On July 22, 2005, Fiat entered into a new 1 billion revolving credit line. CNH has become an eligible borrower under that facility and the other eligible borrowers have agreed to exclusively allocate to CNH 300 million of borrowing capacity under the facility. The remaining 700 million of borrowing capacity is available to CNH depending upon the usage by other borrowers and is considered to be uncommitted for CNH purposes. | ||
During the second quarter of 2005, CNHs wholly owned subsidiary, Case New Holland Inc., completed an exchange of its registered $500 million 6% Senior Notes due 2009 for its outstanding unregistered 6% Senior Notes due 2009, and $1.05 billion in aggregate principal amount of its registered 91/4% Senior Notes due 2011 for its outstanding unregistered 91/4% Senior Notes due 2011. | ||
In December 2005, Financial Services entered into a transaction with a multi-seller asset-backed commercial paper conduit to securitize certain of its retained interests which result from its U.S. retail asset backed securitization programs. The three year securitization facility, which has a variable interest rate and is treated as secured financing, provides for borrowings of up to $300 million, subject to the terms of the facility. At closing, CNH received proceeds of approximately $242 million. | ||
CNH participates in Fiat affiliates cash management pools with other Fiat affiliates.

CNH participates in Fiat affiliates cash management pools with other Fiat affiliates. Amounts deposited with Fiat affiliates as part of the Fiat cash management system are repayable to CNH upon one business days notice. To the extent that Fiat affiliates are unable to return any such amounts upon one business days notice, and in the event of a bankruptcy or insolvency of Fiat, CNH may be unable to secure the return of such funds, and CNH may be viewed as a creditor of such Fiat entity with respect to such funds. There is no assurance that the future operations of the Fiat cash management system may not adversely impact CNHs ability to recover its funds to the extent one or more of the above described events were to occur. During September 2005, certain of CNHs North American cash pooling arrangements were modified to first provide for cash pooling at a CNH level before pooling with any other Fiat affiliate. This resulted in a net reduction of cash deposited into the Fiat cash management pools upon implementation. | ||
7. | Income Taxes For the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, effective income tax rates were 100.0% and 3.7% respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, effective income tax rates were 45.1% and 24.5% respectively. In the third quarter of 2005, CNH reached an agreement with a government regarding tax positions taken during 2000, which resulted in a reduction of tax expense and previously provided tax liabilities. Also during the third quarter of 2005, additional tax expense was recognized in certain entities as valuation reserves were established against previously recognized tax assets due to a current evaluation of recent results of operations and anticipated future operations at these entities. For 2005, tax rates differ from the Dutch statutory rate of 31.5% due primarily to the recording of valuation allowances discussed above and the impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized, offset by the tax settlement also discussed above. The 2004 tax rate differs from the then current Dutch statutory rate of 35% due to the impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized, offset by the positive impact in the second quarter of 2004 for a stock deduction resulting from a legal entity rationalization transaction. | |
8. | Restructuring During the three months and year ended December 31, 2005, CNH expensed approximately $43 million and $73 million of restructuring costs, respectively. The restructuring costs primarily relate to severance and other costs incurred due to headcount reductions, plant closures and CNHs recently announced brand initiatives. Fourth quarter 2005 expense includes costs incurred to date for the planned rationalization of construction equipment manufacturing operations in Western Europe. The balance of costs for the Western Europe manufacturing rationalization is expected to be incurred in 2006. | |
During the three months and year ended December 31, 2005, CNH utilized approximately $25 million and $66 million of its total restructuring reserves respectively. The utilized amounts primarily represent involuntary employee severance costs and costs related to the closing of facilities. CNH had accrued restructuring costs of $47 million at December 31, 2005 and 2004. | ||
9. | Employee Benefit Plans and Postretirement Benefits Unions represent many of CNHs worldwide production and maintenance employees. CNHs collective bargaining agreement with the International Union, United Automobile, Aerospace and Agricultural Implement Workers of America (the UAW), expired in May 2004. On March 21, 2005, following a strike that began November 3, 2004, the UAW ratified a new labor contract that continues through 2011. As a result of the strike, CNH had implemented contingency plans for continuing production utilizing salaried employees and temporary replacement workers. Following the ratification of the new UAW contract, CNH transitioned work at these facilities from salaried employees and temporary workers back to the employees represented by the UAW. | |
During the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, CNH made discretionary contributions to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan trust of $120 million and $155 million, respectively. | ||
CNH recognized a decrease of approximately $16 million, net of tax in its minimum pension liability at December 31, 2005. |

11. | Shareholders Equity The Board of Directors recommended a dividend of $0.25 per common share on March 24, 2005. Declaration of the dividend was voted on and approved by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting on May 3, 2005. The dividend was paid on May 31, 2005 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 24, 2005. | |
CNH has 8 million shares of Series A preference shares (Series A Preferred Stock) outstanding. Beginning in 2006, based on 2005 results, the Series A Preferred Stock will pay a dividend at the then prevailing common dividend yield. However, should CNH achieve certain defined financial performance measures, the annual dividend will be fixed at the prevailing common dividend yield, plus an additional 150 basis points. Dividends will be payable annually in arrears, subject to certain provisions that allow for a deferral for a period not to exceed five consecutive years. The Series A Preferred Stock has a liquidation preference of $250 per share and each share is entitled to one vote on all matters submitted to CNHs shareholders. The Series A Preferred Stock will convert into 100 million CNH common shares at a conversion price of $20 per share automatically if the market price of the common shares, defined as the average of the closing price per share for 30 consecutive trading days, is greater than $24 at anytime through and including December 31, 2006 or $21 at anytime on or after January 1, 2007, subject to anti-dilution adjustment. In the event of dissolution or liquidation whatever remains of the companys equity, after all its debts have been discharged, will first be applied to distribute to the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, the nominal amount of their preference shares and thereafter the amount of the share premium reserve relating to the Series A Preferred Stock. Any remaining assets will be distributed to the holders of common shares in proportion to the aggregate nominal amount of their common shares. | ||
During the second quarter of 2005, Financial Services paid a dividend of $60 million to Equipment Operations. | ||
12. | Earnings per Share Beginning in 2005, CNH calculates basic earnings per share based on the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) Issue No. 03-06, Participating Securities and the Two-Class Method under FASB No. 128, Earnings per Share (EITF No. 03-06). EITF No. 03-06 requires the two-class method of computing earnings per share when participating securities, such as CNHs Series A Preferred Stock, are outstanding. The two-class method is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and participating securities based upon an allocation of earnings as if all of the earnings for the period had been distributed in accordance with participation rights on undistributed earnings. The application of EITF No. 03-06 did not impact 2004 or earlier basic earnings per share as the Series A Preferred Stock was not considered participating during these periods. | |
Undistributed earnings, which represents net income, less dividends paid to common shareholders, are allocated to the Series A Preferred Shares based on the dividend yield of the common shares, which is impacted by the price of the Companys common shares. For purposes of the basic earnings per share calculation, CNH uses the average closing price of the Companys common shares over the last thirty trading days of the period (Average Stock Price). As of December 31, 2005, the Average Stock Price was $17.47 per share. Had the Average Stock Price of the common shares been different, the calculation of the earnings |

15. | Legal Proceedings In December 2002, a purported class action lawsuit was filed in the Federal District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan against El Paso Tennessee Pipeline Co. (formerly Tenneco, Inc.) (El Paso) and CNH America. (Yolton, et. Al v. El Paso Tennessee Pipeline Co., and Case Corporation a/k/a/ Case Power Equipment Corporation, Docket number 02-74276). The lawsuit alleged breach of contract and violations of various provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act arising due to alleged changes in health insurance benefits provided to employees of the Tenneco, Inc. agriculture and construction equipment business who retired before June 1994. The changes resulted from an agreement between an El Paso subsidiary and the UAW in 1993 to cap the amount of retiree health costs (the Cap). The UAW retirees were to bear the costs above the Cap. CNH America and El Paso are parties to a 1994 agreement under which El Paso agreed to be responsible for the health costs of pre-June 1994 retirees. El Paso also agreed to indemnify CNH America against claims related to this responsibility. The lawsuit arose after El Paso notified the retirees that the retirees will be required to pay the portion of the cost of those benefits above the Cap. The plaintiffs also filed a motion for preliminary injunction, asking the court to prevent El Paso and/or CNH America from requesting the retirees to pay the health costs over the Cap. On March 9, 2004, the court granted plaintiffs motion for preliminary injunction and ordered CNH America to pay the costs of health benefits above the Cap for the purported plaintiff class from March 2004. With El Paso, CNH America appealed the district courts orders to the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. The district court had also ruled in CNH Americas favor on its summary judgment motion and ordered that El Paso indemnify CNH America by making the monthly payments of approximately $1.8 million to cover the amounts above the Cap. El Paso filed its appeal of the summary judgment award with the Sixth Circuit which appeal was consolidated with the appeal of the preliminary injunction. On January 17, 2006, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed all the decisions of the district court including the order requiring El Paso to indemnify CNH America. El Paso may request that the en banc Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reconsider the panel decision which the en banc court would accept only if it found the issues extraordinary. CNH believes the court is unlikely to grant an en banc review with respect to the indemnification issue. While CNH is unable to predict the outcome of this proceeding, CNH believes it has good legal and factual claims and defenses, and CNH will continue to vigorously pursue its claims and defend against this lawsuit. | |
On October 21, 2005, CNH America and CNH Capital America LLC (CNH Capital), along with another creditor, filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition (In re: Walterman Implement, Inc., Involuntary Chapter 7 Bankruptcy No. 05-07284, in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Iowa) against Walterman Implement, Inc., a former Case IH dealership in Dike, Iowa (Walterman Implement). The Company took this action after discovering irregularities in the books and records of Walterman Implement and the sale of collateral by Walterman Implement without paying the related borrowings with CNH Capital. Walterman Implement has filed an answer to the bankruptcy petition in opposition to the bankruptcy filing. A hearing date has not been established for the Bankruptcy Court to determine the status of the |

16. | Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures CNH, in its press release announcing quarterly 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. | |
Net Income Before Restructuring and Earnings Per Share Before Restructuring, Net of Tax | ||
CNH defines net income before restructuring, net of tax as U.S. GAAP net income, less U.S. GAAP restructuring charges, net of tax applicable to the restructuring charges. |
