Summary North American Retail Unit Sales Activity
For Selected Agricultural and Construction Equipment,
During the Month of October and Cumulative for the First 10 Months, 2000,
And Indicators of North American Dealer Inventory Levels for
Selected Agricultural Equipment at the End of September 2000
Relative to Industry Results or Levels, Compared with Prior Year Periods
The following table summarizes selected agricultural and construction equipment
industry retail unit sales results in North America as compared with prior year
periods. Industry results for the current periods are expressed as a percentage
change from the prior year periods, by major product category. The percentage
change reflects only industry retail unit sales results and is derived from
flash, or preliminary actual, data of the U.S. Equipment Manufacturers Institute
(`EMI') and of the Canadian Farm and Industrial Equipment Institute (`CFIEI').
These industry data are based on unit sales as preliminarily reported by EMI and
CFIEI member companies and include most, but not all, of the equipment sold in
each of the categories. The data are subject to revision from time to time and
caution should be maintained when using the data for any purpose. Actual results
will vary and may not be known for some time. Over time, industry results will
be adjusted to reflect actual sales differences, reclassifications, or other
factors. Retail unit sales will fluctuate from month to month due to several
factors, including timing of new products and new product introductions, product
availability, and sales programs. CNH Global N.V.'s performance for the same
periods is described relative to the change in industry results.
Also included in the table are indicators of North American dealer inventory
levels. Industry data are derived from the flash, or preliminary actual, data of
the EMI and CFIEI and expressed as the number of months of inventory on hand,
based on the simple average of the previous 12 months retail unit sales results.
CNH Global N.V.'s dealer's inventory levels for the same periods are described
relative to the industry levels.
This information reflects point-in-time data that is not necessarily
representative of either the market nor of CNH Global N.V.'s relative
performance going forward, nor does it reflect or imply any forward-looking
information regarding the market or CNH Global N.V.'s relative performance in
that market.
