BURR RIDGE, IL.(MARKET WIRE)CNH Global N.V. (NYSE: CNH - News) April 21, 2010: CNH Global today announced financial results for the first quarter of 2010. Net Sales rose 6.1% to $3,237 million for the first quarter. The Company reported an Operating Profit of $144 million from Equipment Operations for the quarter, up $105 million from the comparable period. Diluted Earnings Per Share Before Restructuring and Exceptional Items was $0.16 compared to a loss of $0.53 per share for first quarter 2009.
In a mixed agricultural capital goods trading environment, CNH was able to post improved profit performance over the prior year. Demand in North America was firm and Latin America strong on stable commodity pricing. The improving market conditions resulted in better than forecasted demand for agricultural equipment in the Americas, particularly tractors and combines, in a competitive pricing environment. Trading conditions in Western Europe and the CIS remained at reduced levels due to a continuing decline of overall economic conditions, while Asia and the Middle East demonstrated signs of improvement. The negative impact from reduced tractor unit sales and weaker demand in certain geographical markets was offset by improved mix of rotary combines in the Companys product portfolio, the benefits of prior period restructuring actions, and improved industrial economics lifting agricultural equipment gross margins 210 basis points from the comparable prior period.
The construction equipment sector displayed similar dynamics with unevenly distributed geographical demand mirroring overall differences in economic activity. For CNH, this resulted in good performance on the back of the Companys strong presence in Latin America and certain countries in Asia, combined with an improved industrial performance in North America which came off a low base. These served to offset a sluggish demand environment in Western Europe resulting in year-over-year top line growth of 27%. The sectors operating loss for the period narrowed as a result of cost alignment actions taken in 2009, reduced manufacturing input costs, and a favorable geographical mix despite the Companys sub-scale exposure to the high growth China market, and difficult pricing conditions in Western Europe and North America. For construction equipment, the Company continued to under produce retail sales during the quarter in an effort to work off finished goods inventory in low demand geographies and in preparation for new product launches of Tier IV equipment. Plans are in place for a step up of production in support of markets demonstrating improving demand conditions.
Equipment Operations generated $117 million in cash flow from operating activities. This was used to finance net capital expenditures of $32 million and to pay down debt. CNH Equipment Operations ended the quarter with a net cash position of $756 million, up 43% from the end of fiscal year 2009 and 185% from the same period last year.

Our first quarter results highlight the impact of a more stable market and the results of our work to reduce costs. We have reduced structural costs and this is the main driver of our improved financial performance, said Harold Boyanovsky, CNH President and CEO. We are encouraged to see the market improvements, but we will continue to exercise tight controls over our operations.
CNH Capital successfully completed $1.3 billion in retail and wholesale financing transactions during the quarter as the ABS market conditions continued to improve.
Net Income Attributable to CNH was $16 million in the first quarter of 2010 compared with a net loss of $126 million in the same period of 2009. Diluted Earnings Per Share was $0.07 for the quarter, compared with a loss of $0.53 per share in the first quarter of 2009. For the first quarter of 2010, the Company incurred consolidated tax expense of $70 million, which included $26 million of tax charges due to the geographic mix of earnings and the $20 million impact of the new U.S. Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.
2010 CNH Outlook
CNH will be discussing its market outlook and strategic business plan in a subsequent press release to be issued today which also discusses the Companys strategic business plan for 2010-2014.

First Quarter Commercial Highlights
Worldwide agricultural industry retail unit sales increased 14% compared to the first quarter of 2009. Global retail tractor sales rose 14% and global retail combine sales fell 2% for the quarter. Tractor and combine sales rose slightly in North America while they declined sharply in Western Europe, where economic conditions continue to be challenging. Latin America saw significant increases in both tractor and combine markets on strong growth and commodity prices. Rest of World markets saw significantly stronger tractor sales, and weaker combine volumes.
CNH market share for tractors declined in North America, especially in the under 40 hp segment where the Company is reducing inventory in preparation for the introduction of new models later this year. European market share remained stable and Latin American market share declined due to heavy competitive pricing in the high volume, small and mid-sized categories. Share in Rest of World markets fell slightly.
CNH market share for combines was up in the first quarter. In North America, CNH increased market share by targeting key cash crop customers. In Western Europe, market share was stable, while Latin American market share rose significantly on strong demand for newly introduced CNH rotary combines. The Company picked up
2
market share in Rest of World markets. CNH benefited from increased demand in Turkey where its brands are strongly positioned in the agricultural capital goods sector. In March 2010, the Company finalized an agreement to jointly manufacture agriculture and construction equipment with OJSC KAMAZ in Russia.
Global industry unit volume of construction equipment rose 31% in the first quarter compared to the prior year, with light equipment up 21% and heavy equipment up 40%. In both the North American and Western European markets, demand for the light and heavy segments continued to decline, albeit at reduced rates. In Latin America, the market rebounded compared to a weak first quarter last year on strong infrastructure and construction spending. Rest of World markets industry sales of construction equipment jumped more than 50 % for light and heavy equipment, dominated by demand in China on the back of infrastructure and commodity related spending.
In North America, CNH market share was in line for heavy and fell slightly in the light segments amid intense pricing competition. In Western Europe, CNH share was comparable with the prior year in the light equipment segment and increased in the heavy equipment segment. CNH share in Latin America was down for light equipment while market share increased in the heavy segment as our local manufacturing base was able to meet demand for key customers in a very tight market. In Rest of World markets, CNH saw no significant change in market share.
Market Outlook
CNH anticipates that global agriculture equipment markets will be flat to up 5% in 2010. The CNH outlook for the global construction equipment markets is for an increase of approximately 15-20 % in 2010.

Equipment Operations Gross Profit in the first quarter was $539 million, up 26.8% from the comparable period last year. The 280 basis point increase in gross margin was primarily driven by better fixed cost absorption in the construction equipment operations, more favorable net pricing, and the results of prior period restructuring actions to lower industrial costs.
Operating Margin was 4.4%, and operating profit improved $105 million over the comparable period last year. Agricultural Equipment Operating Margin increased 180 basis points for the quarter to 6.9%; Construction Equipment Operating Margin improved from (19.0%) in the first quarter last year to (5.9%).

For the first quarter, Financial Services Net Income Before Restructuring and Exceptional Items was $51 million, compared to $2 million in the respective period a year earlier. First quarter 2009 results included a $33 million ABS loss under that periods accounting standards. A higher level of on-book receivables, improved net interest margins, increased originations, and continued cost containment initiatives with respect to general and administrative expenses were positive factors in the profit improvement.
As of the beginning of 2010, Financial Services adopted new accounting guidance (FASB Statements No. 166, Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets, and No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R)) that required the Company to consolidate a significant portion of its securitization trusts. Certain transactions that historically had been accounted for off balance sheet, are now accounted for on the Financial Services balance sheet. The financial information presented prior to January 1, 2010 has not been adjusted for comparison purposes as CNH adopted this guidance prospectively.

Forward-looking statements. This press release includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this press release, including statements regarding our competitive strengths, business strategy, future financial position, operating results, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. These statements may include terminology such as may, will, expect, could, should, intend, estimate, anticipate, believe, outlook, continue, remain, on track, goal, or similar terminology.
Our outlook is predominantly based on our interpretation of what we consider key economic assumptions and involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Crop production and commodity prices are strongly affected by weather and can fluctuate significantly. Housing starts and other construction activity are sensitive to the availability of credit and to interest rates and government spending. Some of the other significant factors which may affect our results include general economic and capital market conditions, the cyclical nature of our business, customer buying patterns and preferences, foreign currency exchange rate movements, our hedging practices, our customers access to credit, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, actions by rating agencies concerning the ratings of our debt securities and asset backed securities, risks related to our relationship with Fiat S.p.A., political uncertainty and civil unrest or war in various areas of the world, pricing, product initiatives and other actions by competitors, disruptions in production capacity, excess inventory levels, the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including those related to tax, healthcare, retiree benefits, government subsidies and international trade), the results of legal proceedings, technological difficulties, results of our research and development activities, changes in environmental laws, employee and labor relations, pension and health care costs, relations with and the financial strength of dealers and critical suppliers, the cost and availability of supplies from our suppliers, raw material costs and availability, energy prices, real estate values, animal diseases, crop pests, harvest yields, government farm programs and consumer confidence, housing starts and construction activity, concerns related to modified organisms and fuel and fertilizer costs. Additionally, our achievement of the anticipated benefits of our margin improvement initiatives depends upon, among other things, industry volumes as well as our ability to effectively rationalize our operations and to execute our brand strategy. Further information concerning factors that could significantly affect expected results is included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009.
We can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors we disclose that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements.

CNH Global N.V.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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., a Netherlands corporation, 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 or the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for complete annual or interim period financial statements. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited, consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008 included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on March 3, 2009. CNH is controlled by Fiat Netherlands Holding N.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Fiat S.p.A. (Fiat). As of December 31, 2009, Fiat owned approximately 89% of CNHs outstanding common shares.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of CNHs majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries and reflect the noncontrolling 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 analyses 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 operations.
2. Recent Accounting Developments As of the beginning of 2009, CNH adopted new accounting guidance on fair value measurements, business combinations and noncontrolling interests. In April 2009, CNH adopted new accounting guidance related to other-than-temporary impairments.
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued new accounting guidance related to fair value measurements. The new guidance defines fair value, establishes a framework for the measurement of fair value, and enhances disclosures about fair value measurements. The guidance does not require any new fair value measures but rather eliminates inconsistencies in previous guidance. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. However, in February 2008, the effective date of the guidance was delayed to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years for all nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed at fair value in the financial statements on a recurring basis (at least annually). On January 1, 2008, CNH adopted the guidance except as it applied to those nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities. The adoption of the remaining guidance for all remaining nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities on January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact to CNHs financial position and results of operations.
In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on business combinations which establishes principles and requirements for how an acquirer in a business combination has to recognize and measure in its financial statements the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree and the goodwill acquired. The guidance also establishes disclosure requirements to enable the evaluation of the nature and financial effects of the business combination. The new guidance is effective for business combinations occurring in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The adoption of this guidance on January 1, 2009, did not have a material impact on CNHs financial position and results of operations.

CNH Global N.V.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)
In December 2007, the FASB issued new accounting guidance on noncontrolling interests which establishes accounting and reporting standards for ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent, the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest, changes in a parents ownership interest, and the valuation of retained noncontrolling equity investments when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. The guidance also establishes disclosure requirements that clearly identify and distinguish between the interests of the parent and the interests of the noncontrolling owners. The guidance was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and the accounting requirements were applied prospectively to all non-controlling interests, including those that arose before the effective date. The presentation and disclosure requirements were applied retrospectively for all periods presented, as required by the guidance.
In April 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which amends the other-than-temporary impairment model for debt securities. Under this guidance, an other-than-temporary-impairment must be recognized if an investor has the intent to sell the debt security or if it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis. In addition, the guidance changes the amount of impairment to be recognized in current-period earnings when an investor does not have the intent to sell or will not be required to sell the debt security, as in these cases only the amount of the impairment associated with credit losses is recognized in income. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of the guidance as of April 1, 2009 did not have a material impact on CNHs financial position and results of operations.
In June 2009, the FASB issued new accounting guidance which changes the accounting for transfers of financial assets. The guidance eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity, changes the requirements for derecognizing financial assets, and requires additional disclosures in order to enhance information reported to users of financial statements by providing greater transparency about transfers of financial assets, including securitization transactions, and an entitys continuing involvement in and exposure to the risks related to transferred financial assets. The guidance is effective for transactions entered into starting on January 1, 2010. We expect that the impact will be that certain transactions that have historically met the derecognition criteria will no longer qualify for derecognition.
In June 2009, the FASB also issued new accounting guidance which amends the accounting for variable interest entities. The guidance significantly changes the criteria for determining whether the consolidation of a variable interest entity is required. The guidance also addresses the effect of changes required by the new accounting guidance which changes the accounting for transfers of financial assets, increases the frequency for reassessing consolidation of variable interest entities and creates new disclosure requirements about an entitys involvement in a variable interest entity. The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods that begin after November 15, 2009. We will adopt the guidance in 2010. We expect that it will be necessary to consolidate a significant portion, if not all, of our off-book receivables and related liabilities upon adoption of this guidance. The impact is expected to increase assets and liabilities approximately $6.0 billion and decrease equity by approximately $50 million.
3. Stock-Based Compensation Plans Stock-based compensation consists of stock options and performance-based shares that have been granted under the CNH Equity Incentive Plan (CNH EIP) and the CNH Outside Directors Compensation Plan. For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, pre-tax stock-based compensation costs were $14 million and $300 thousand, respectively. For the three months ended December 31, 2009, pre-tax stock-based compensation costs were $6 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2008, CNH recognized pre-tax income of approximately $21 million.
In April 2009, CNH granted approximately 4.1 million performance-based stock options (at targeted performance levels) under the CNH EIP. As specified fiscal 2009 targets were achieved, one-third of the options vested when 2009 results were approved by the Board of Directors in January 2010 (the
12

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)
Determination Date). The remaining options will vest equally on the first and second anniversary of the Determination Date. Excluding the impact of forfeitures, CNH expects the actual number of options that will vest to be approximately 2.2 million based on CNHs 2009 actual results. This grant has a contractual life of five years from the Determination date. The grant date fair value of $9.03 was determined using the Black-Scholes pricing model. CNH expects to recognized expense over the vesting period of approximately $17 million.
The assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model were:
Risk-free interest rate |
1.61% | |
Expected volatility |
70.63% | |
Expected life |
3.73 years | |
Dividend yield |
0.70% |
The risk-free interest rate is based on the current U.S. Treasury rate for a bond of approximately the expected life of the options. The expected volatility is based on the historical activity of CNHs common shares over a period equal to the expected life of the options. The expected life is based on the average of the vesting period of each vesting tranche and the original contract term of 69 months. The expected dividend yield is based on the annual dividends which have been paid on CNHs common shares over the past several years.
4. Accounts and Notes Receivable In CNHs receivables securitization programs, certain retail, wholesale finance and credit card receivables are sold and not included in the Companys consolidated balance sheets. The following table summarizes the principal amount of our receivables that are not included in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2009 and 2008:

Total |
$ | 6,704 | $ | 5,558 | ||
For the year ending December 31, 2009, utilizing both the public asset securitization and private bank markets, Financial Services closed on $4.0 billion of new retail transactions in North America for a gain of $68 million. In addition, the U.S. wholesale securitization facility closed a TALF eligible $583 million term securitization and a 364-day, $250 million conduit facility, bringing the total U.S. facility size to $1.6 billion at December 31, 2009.
Europe continues to expand its factoring programs in certain European jurisdictions. The amount of outstanding wholesale receivables under these factoring programs was 666 million ($959 million) of which 483 million ($696 million) were sold and, accordingly, removed from the balance sheet.
While the Canadian wholesale securitization facility closed a C$325 million ($309 million) securitization in the fourth quarter, the facility does not qualify for off-book treatment and consequently, is now considered a secured borrowing. In prior years, this facility did qualify as off-book.
Financial Services pretax income for the three months ended December 31, 2009, includes $11 million of adjustments which related to prior quarters.

The construction equipment reporting units experienced operating losses and other business factors that are different than anticipated at year end 2008. As a result, the Company determined that it needed to evaluate whether or not impairment of goodwill existed at June 30 and September 30, 2009. These evaluations indicated that no goodwill impairment existed on the construction equipment businesses at either date.
The Company performed its annual impairment review of all reporting units during the fourth quarter and concluded there was no impairment as of December 31, 2009.
As of December 31, 2009 and 2008, the Companys other intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following:

At December 31, 2009, CNH had approximately $4.4 billion available under $9.2 billion total lines of credit and asset-backed facilities.
Consolidated long term debt includes current maturities of long term debt of $2.4 billion.
On June 1, 2009 the 6% Senior Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $500 million came to maturity and were fully paid back out of CNHs own liquidity.
On August 17, 2009, Case New Holland, Inc. completed a private offering of $1.0 billion of 7.75% senior notes (the 7.75% Senior Notes). The 7.75% Senior Notes are due in 2013 and are guaranteed by CNH and certain of its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The net proceeds of this offering were approximately $955 million. The proceeds from this offering are being used primarily for repayment of debt, including repayment of debt owed to Fiat, and general corporate purposes.
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.

8. Income Taxes For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, consolidated effective income tax rates were (98.9%) and 33.3%, respectively. For 2009, the tax rate differs from the Netherlands statutory rate of 25.5% due primarily to the impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized, recording valuation allowances against previously recognized deferred tax assets, provisioning of tax contingencies, and enacted changes in tax rates. For 2008, 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 tax contingencies, utilization of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no tax benefit was previously recognized, impact of tax losses in certain jurisdictions where no immediate tax benefit is recognized, and enacted changes in tax rates.
Management makes estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of deferred tax assets. The Company has recorded valuation allowances to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount it believes more likely than not to be realized. A change in judgment as to the realizability of the Companys deferred tax assets may significantly impact CNHs results of operations and financial position in the period that such a determination is made.
The Company is engaged in competent authority income tax proceedings at December 31, 2009. 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 a net effect on cash flows in the range of $55 million to $60 million. The Company has provided for the tax contingencies and related competent authority recovery. The Company does not believe that the resolution of the competent authority proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the results of operations.
9. Restructuring During the three months and years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, expense and utilization related to restructuring were as follows:

In April 2009, CNH announced a global consolidation and reorganization plan to further adjust cost and operating levels in light of the economic downturn. These actions include optimizing its manufacturing footprint and reducing salaried headcount. In June 2009, CNH announced it had started the process for the closing of its construction equipment plant located in Imola, Italy and to relocate that production to other CNH facilities. In July 2009, CNH announced it had reorganized its Construction Equipment businesss management structure. Restructuring expense for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009 primarily consists of employee-related costs incurred due to headcount reduction actions being implemented under these plans. Utilization primarily represents payments of voluntary and involuntary employee severance costs, benefit plan curtailments and costs related to closing of facilities. CNH anticipates that the total cost of the actions that were initiated in the second and third quarters will be approximately $121 million before tax. Approximately $97 million, before tax, was recognized in 2009 relating to these actions. The balance is expected to be recognized in 2010.

In connection with a logistics Services Agreement among CNH Global N.V. (CNH Global), PGN Logistics Ltd. (PGN) and certain affiliated companies, PGN entered into a subcontract with Transport Cheron N.V. (Cheron). The subcontract was signed by Cheron, and PGN purported to sign the contract in the name and on behalf of CNH Global. CNH Global contends that it is not a party to the subcontract and that PGN was not authorized to sign the subcontract on its behalf. In early 2005, and as a result of the termination of the Services Agreement, Cheron filed suit in the District Court in Haarlem, the Netherlands against both PGN and CNH Global for breach of the subcontract and for preliminary relief. In March 2005 the District Court issued an order requiring CNH Global to pay 1,500,000 to Cheron as a preliminary payment of lost profit damages. CNH Global appealed this decision to the Court of Appeals in Amsterdam, and, on November 24, 2005, the Court of Appeals rendered its decision in effect holding that liability had not been demonstrated with a degree of certainty sufficient to warrant a preliminary award of damages. At this point the matter returned to the District Court for a determination of liability.
On September 24, 2008, the District Court issued its interim award with respect to liability. The District Court held that CNH Global is liable under the subcontract for damages that Cheron suffered as a result of the alleged breach of the subcontract. Cheron has alleged damages in the amount of approximately 21 million. CNH Global believes that the damages alleged by Cheron are improperly calculated and, as a result, are materially overstated. Moreover, CNH Global believes the District Court interim award with respect to liability is incorrect. The damages phase of the case is currently ongoing with Cheron having filed its Statement for the Record Commenting on the Damage and Change of Claim on September 30, 2009 and CNH Global having filed its Statement of Defence Commenting on the Damage on January 6, 2010. CNH Global anticipates that the damages phase of the case will be completed sometime during 2010. In addition, CNH Global plans to appeal the liability decision to the Court of Appeals in Amsterdam once a final award with respect to damages has been issued.
11. Employee Benefit Plans During the third quarter of 2009, CNH made a discretionary contribution to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan trust of approximately $90 million.

16. Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures CNH, in its quarterly unaudited condensed financial statements, 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. An explanation and reconciliation of the measures to U.S. GAAP follows.

Forward Looking Statements
This presentation includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact contained in this press release, including statements regarding our competitive strengths, business strategy, future financial position, operating results, budgets, projected costs and plans and objectives of management, are forward-looking statements. These statements may include terminology such as may, will, expect, could, should, intend, estimate, anticipate, believe, outlook, continue, remain, on track, goal, or similar terminology.
Our outlook is predominantly based on our interpretation of what we consider key economic assumptions and involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ. Crop production and commodity prices are strongly affected by weather and can fluctuate significantly. Housing starts and other construction activity are sensitive to the availability of credit and to interest rates and government spending. Some of the other significant factors which may impact our results include general economic and capital market conditions, the cyclical nature of our business, customer buying patterns and preferences, foreign currency exchange rate movements, our hedging practices and our customers access to credit, actions by rating agencies concerning the ratings of our debt securities and asset backed securities and the ratings of Fiat S.p.A., risks related to our relationship with Fiat S.p.A., political uncertainty and civil unrest or war in various areas of the world, pricing, product initiatives and other actions taken by competitors, disruptions in production capacity, excess inventory levels, the effect of changes in laws and regulations (including government subsidies and international trade regulations), the results of legal proceedings, technological difficulties, results of our research and development activities, changes in environmental laws, employee and labor relations, pension and health care costs, relations with and the financial strength of dealers, the cost and availability of supplies from our suppliers, raw material costs and availability, energy prices, real estate values, animal diseases, crop pests, harvest yields, government farm programs and consumer confidence, housing starts and construction activity, concerns related to modified organisms and fuel and fertilizer costs. Additionally, our achievement of the anticipated benefits of our profit improvement initiatives depends upon, among other things, industry volumes as well as our ability to effectively rationalize our operations and to execute our brand strategy. Further information concerning factors that could significantly affect expected results is included in our Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2009.
We can give no assurance that the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements will prove to be correct. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements. All written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us are expressly qualified in their entirety by the factors we disclose that could cause our actual results to differ materially from our expectations. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements.

CNH defines net income(loss) before restructuring and exceptional item as U.S.GAAP net income(loss) attributable to CNH, less restructuring expense and exceptional items, after tax applicable to restructuring and exceptional items. We believe that net income(loss) before restructuring and exceptional items is a useful figure for measuring the performance of our operations.
Net income(loss) before restructuring and exceptional items is a non-GAAP financial measure as this term is defined under the Securities Act of 1933. As a result, the following table reconciles U.S.GAAP net income(loss) to net income(loss) before restructuring and exceptional items, for all periods presented and the related pro-forma computation of earnings per share:

CNH Global First Quarter 2010 Conference Call April 21, 2010 Equipment Operations Net Debt (Cash)
Net Debt (Cash) of Equipment Operations is defined as total debt of Equipment Operations less cash and cash equivalents, deposits in Fiat affiliates cash management pools and inter-segment notes receivables. We believe that Net Debt (Cash), as defined, is a useful analytical tool for measuring our effective borrowing requirements, excluding our inter-segment Notes Receivable from Financial Services and the effect of certain of our cash management practices.

Equipment Operations Change in Net Debt (Cash)
We believe that the change in Net Debt (Cash) of Equipment Operations, as defined elsewhere in this presentation, is a useful analytical tool for measuring changes in our effective borrowing requirements, excluding our inter-segment notes receivable from Financial Services and the effect of certain of our cash management practices.
The change in Net Debt (Cash) should not be considered an alternative to the statement of cash flows prepared under U.S. GAAP for purposes of evaluating sources and uses of cash and cash equivalents.
Change in Net Debt (Cash) is a non-GAAP financial measure as this term is defined under the Securities Act. As a result, the following slide reconciles the increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents, the U.S. GAAP financial measure which we believe to be most comparable, to (increase) decrease in Net Debt (Cash).

Equipment Operations Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) attributable to CNH of Equipment Operations excluding (i) net interest expense, (ii) income tax provision (benefit), (iii) depreciation and amortization and (iv) restructuring. Net interest expense is defined as (i) interest expense (excluding interest compensation to Financial Services) less (ii) finance and interest income.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is a measure commonly used by financial analysts because of its usefulness in evaluating operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure as this term is defined under the Securities Act. As a result, the following slide summarizes the computation of Adjusted EBITDA for all period presented.

CNH Global First Quarter 2010 Conference Call April 21, Market Share / Market Position Data
Certain market and share information in this report has been presented on a worldwide basis which includes all countries, with the exception of India.
In this report, management estimates of market share information are generally based on retail unit data in North America, on registrations of equipment in most of Europe, Brazil, and various Rest of World markets and on retail and shipment unit data collected by a central information bureau appointed by Equipment Manufacturers Associations including the Association of Equipment Manufacturers in North America, the Committee for European Construction Equipment in Europe, the ANFAVEA in Brazil, the Japan Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association and the Korea Construction Equipment Manufacturers Association, as well as on other shipment data collected by an independent service bureau.
Not all agricultural or construction equipment is registered, and registration data may thus underestimate, perhaps substantially, actual retail industry unit sales demand, particularly for local manufacturers in China, Russia, Turkey, and Brazil.
In addition, there may also be a period of time between the shipment, delivery, sale and/or registration of a unit, which must be estimated, in making any adjustments to the shipment, delivery, sale, or registration data to determine our estimates of retail unit data in any period.
