CAPITAL GOODS
Credit negative. We flagged risk on Tuesday when AGCO reported; another weak quarter and profit warning for CNH.
- CNH reported revenue 3% below consensus, down 21% YoY LfL.
- Industrial adj. EBIT fell 46% YoY and missed by 14%. Margin was 440bp s lower YoY. Agri volumes were double digits lower in all regions with poor demand due to low crop prices and elevated dealer inventory.
- Industrial net debt at $2.7bn, which was close to zero at FY23.
- FY24 Agriculture guidance lowered; sales to 22-23% from 15-20% (consensus -19%). Adj. EBIT margin to 10.5-11.5% from 13-14% (consensus 13.2%).
WC will increase due to declining production. FY FCF is now expected in a -$100mn to -$300mn range from +$700mn to +$900mn previously. That should impact net debt by more than 0.5 turns.
