Strong 3Q for Fiat Industrial SPA

Italian-based Fiat Industrial reporting a good third quarter. The parent company of Case IH and New Holland reports revenues for the quarter ending September 30th were 6.3 billion Euros ($8.1 billion U.S.), up 7.9 percent from the third quarter of 2011. Trading profit was 575 million Euros ($745 mil U.S.), up 91 million Euros from the same quarter a year ago thanks to strong performance from CNH. Net profit for the quarter was 297 million Euros, a 45.6 percent increase over the 204 million Euros a year ago.

The group raised it projected 2012 revenues to more than 25 billion Euros ($32.3 billion U.S.) with net profit of 900 million Euros ($1.166 B)

While CNH reported a 27 percent increase in ag equipment sales, driven by high horsepower tractors in North America, Fiat Industrial said sales at its Iveco truck business were down 7 percent from a year ago due to continued economic decline in Europe. The contraction in truck sales also hurt performance of the powertrain division, which reported a 12.9 percent decline in revenues.

Fiat Industrial SPA currently owns 88 percent of CNH and made a stock-swap bid for the remainder of the company earlier this month. That bid was rejected by the independent shareholders who said it was too low.
