CNH Global N.V. (NYSE: CNH) today announced financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2013. Net sales for the quarter increased 9% (10% on a constant currency basis) to $5.5 billion. Equipment Operations posted an operating profit of $659 million or 12% of net sales for the quarter, as increased volumes and positive net pricing in the agricultural equipment segment more than compensated for the reduction in volume in the construction equipment segment, higher selling, general and administrative expenditures and higher research and development expense. The 33% effective tax rate for the quarter is within the Group's full year 2013 forecast range of 31% to 34%.
Equipment net sales in the quarter comprised 83% agricultural equipment and 17% construction equipment. The geographic distribution of net sales in the quarter was 43% North America, 32% EAME & CIS, 17% Latin America, and 8% APAC markets.
Equipment Operations generated $856 million in operating cash on a year-to-date basis, an increase of $575 million from the same period in 2012. This improvement is a result of the increase in earnings for the period, and strong working capital management. Through the second quarter, capital expenditures totaled $192 million, as the Company continues to implement its strategic plan of investments in new manufacturing sites and an enhanced product portfolio. Capital expenditures for new product launches (inclusive of interim and final Tier 4 emission compliant equipment) represented 31% of the total CAPEX. CNH's Equipment Operations ended the period with a net cash position of $3.6 billion.
Net income, before restructuring and exceptional items, was $473 million for the quarter, an increase of 33%, driven by continued solid market conditions in the agricultural equipment sector, satisfactory industrial performance, and improved results from the Group's financial services business. This resulted in the Group generating diluted earnings per share of $1.93 (before restructuring and exceptional items), up 31% compared to $1.47 per share for the second quarter of 2012.
Agricultural equipment unit volume is expected to be up approximately 5%
Construction equipment unit volume is expected to be flat to down 5%
Revenues up ~5%
Operating Margin between 8.5% and 9.0%
CNH's agricultural equipment second quarter net sales increased 13% (13% on a constant currency basis) driven by increased volume, positive net pricing, and favorable product mix. All of the Group's geographic regions except APAC reported increased revenue. Operating profit increased by $140 million to $647 million yielding an operating margin of 14.3%, up 1.7 percentage points compared to the second quarter of 2012.
CNH worldwide production of agricultural equipment was 7% above retail sales in the quarter in anticipation of scheduled maintenance and repair downtime scheduled for the 3rd quarter in NAFTA and EAME.

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 largely based on our interpretation of what we consider to be relevant economic assumptions and involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ (possibly materially) from such forward-looking statements. Macro-economic factors including monetary policy, interest rates, currency exchange rates, inflation, deflation, credit availability and the intervention by governments and non-governmental organizations in an attempt to influence such factors can have a material impact on our customers and the demand for our goods. Crop production and commodity prices are strongly affected by weather and can fluctuate significantly. Housing starts and other construction activity are sensitive to, among other things, credit availability, interest rates and government spending. Some of the other significant factors that may affect our results include general economic and capital market conditions, the cyclical nature of our businesses, customer buying patterns and preferences, the impact of changes in geographical sales mix and product sales mix, foreign currency exchange rate movements, our hedging practices, investment returns, our and our customers' access to credit, restrictive covenants in our debt agreements, actions by rating agencies concerning the ratings on our debt and asset-backed securities and the credit ratings of Fiat Industrial, risks related to our relationship with Fiat Industrial, the effect of the demerger transaction consummated by Fiat pursuant to which CNH was separated from Fiat's automotive business and became a subsidiary of Fiat Industrial, our ability to consummate the pending business combination transaction with Fiat Industrial and to realize the anticipated benefits of such transaction, 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 those related to tax, healthcare, retiree benefits, government subsidies, engine emissions, 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, raw material costs and availability, energy prices, real estate values, animal diseases, crop pests, harvest yields, government farm programs, consumer confidence, housing starts and construction activity, concerns related to modified organisms and fuel and fertilizer costs, and the growth of non-food uses for some crops (including ethanol and biodiesel production). 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, 2012.
Furthermore, in light of ongoing difficult macroeconomic conditions, both globally and in the industries in which we operate, it is particularly difficult to forecast our results and any estimates or forecasts of particular periods that we provide are uncertain. 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.
