A notable anomaly occurred in 2021 when the debt-to-assets ratio spiked to 3.11 before significantly decreasing in the subsequent years. This sharp increase in 2021 suggests a substantial rise in debt relative to assets, which could signify a period of increased borrowing or a decrease in asset base relative to debt levels.

Generally, a lower debt-to-assets ratio indicates a lower financial risk as it implies a smaller proportion of debt financing relative to total assets. CNH Industrial N.V.'s debt-to-assets ratio has remained relatively stable and within a reasonable range in recent years, apart from the outlier in 2021.
