DEERE & CO 10-Q

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS All amounts are presented in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified. Overview Organization Deere & Company is a global leader in the production of agricultural, turf, construction, and forestry equipment and solutions. John Deere Financial provides financing for John Deere equipment, parts, services, and other input costs customers need to run their operations. Our operations are managed through the production and precision agriculture (PPA), small agriculture and turf (SAT), construction and forestry (CF), and financial services operating segments. References to “equipment operations” include PPA, SAT, and CF, while references to “agriculture and turf” include both PPA and SAT. Trends and Economic Conditions Industry Sales Outlook for Fiscal Year 2025 Agriculture and Turf Construction and Forestry Company Trends Customers seek to improve profitability, productivity, and sustainability through integrating technology into their operations. Deeper integration of technology into equipment is a persistent market trend. These technologies are incorporated into products within each of our operating segments. We expect this trend to persist for the foreseeable future. Our Smart Industrial Operating Model and Leap Ambitions are intended to capitalize on this market trend. Engaged acres are an indicator we use to understand customer utilization of our technology. We continue to invest in a Solutions as a Service business model to increase technology adoption and utilization by our customers. Solutions as a Service products did not represent a significant percentage of our revenues in the periods presented. Company Outlook for 2025 Agriculture and turf and construction equipment sales volumes during the remainder of 2025 are expected to continue to be lower than the prior year due to reduced demand. Agriculture and Turf Outlook for 2025 ● Demand for large agricultural equipment in the U.S. and Canada is expected to decline due to high interest rates, elevated used inventory levels, and market uncertainty. Stable crop prices and the impact of U.S. government subsidies on farm incomes are expected to partially mitigate this decline. ● We expect small agricultural equipment sales to be down from 2024 levels in the U.S. and Canada. Strong profitability is anticipated to continue in the small agricultural sector as dairy and livestock prices remain elevated and certain high value crops return to profitability; however, this is projected to be more than offset by restrained demand in the turf and compact utility tractor markets amid economic uncertainty and high interest rates. ● Industry demand in Europe is forecasted to be down slightly. Farm fundamentals are improving, given strong dairy and livestock margins. Additionally, commodity prices and input costs have steadied along with an improving interest rate environment. This is projected to be offset by below-average yields in key markets. ● Demand in South America is expected to be roughly flat. In Brazil, profitability from recovered corn and soybean crop yields, as well as high margins in coffee production, are expected to have a positive impact on 27 ​ sales. However, record crop production is likely to reduce commodity prices, and high interest rates continue to temper demand for equipment. ● Industry sales in Asia are forecasted to be flat as the outlook for tractor sales in India improves. Construction and Forestry Outlook for 2025 ● Construction equipment industry sales are forecasted to be down in the U.S. and Canada from 2024 levels. The decline is due to projections for single-family housing starts to moderate given macro uncertainty and high mortgage rates, while rental sales continue to soften and elevated interest rates continue to reduce multi-family and commercial real estate markets. These unfavorable factors are projected to be partially offset by high levels of U.S. government infrastructure spending. ● Global forestry markets are expected to be flat to down as global market conditions remain challenged. ● Global roadbuilding markets are forecasted to be generally flat, supported by strong end-market demand worldwide, along with improving sentiment throughout Europe. Financial Services Outlook for 2025 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Net Income ​ Up ​ + Prior and current period special items ​ Favorable ​ + Selling, administrative and general expenses ​ Favorable ​ (–) Financing spreads ​ Unfavorable ​ Additional Trends Agricultural Market Business Cycle. The agricultural market is affected by various factors including commodity prices, acreage planted, crop yields, government policies, and uncertainty in macroeconomic trends. These factors affect farmers’ income and sentiment which may result in lower demand for equipment. In 2025, we expect to continue experiencing the following effects due to unfavorable market conditions: lower sales volumes, higher sales incentives, and elevated receivable write-offs and expected credit losses. Global Trade Policies. In the second quarter of 2025, new tariffs were imposed in the U.S. for imports from a broad range of countries. Certain countries also implemented or proposed retaliatory tariffs on imports from the U.S. Trade policies are rapidly evolving causing uncertainty in the agriculture and construction industries. Trade policies impact us in various ways. We are a net exporter of agriculture and turf equipment from the U.S. Nearly 80% of our domestic sales are assembled in the U.S., with the remaining products imported primarily from Europe, Mexico, India, and Japan. The current effective incremental tariffs have adversely affected the cost of components. Uncertainties surrounding trade policies may also result in supply chain disruptions and could impact the availability of raw materials and components. In addition, retaliatory tariffs by regions outside the U.S., currently in effect or adopted in the future, may impact the prices of our exported products and the profit realized from these exports. The direct impact of incremental tariffs incurred by us was approximately $95 in the second quarter of 2025, excluding the impact of tariffs on our suppliers and market demand. We are actively taking steps to limit potential impacts on our business. Interest Rates. While interest rates in the U.S. decreased in the fourth quarter of 2024, they remain elevated. High rates impact us in several ways, primarily affecting the demand for our products and financing spreads for the financial services operations. The markets for our agriculture, turf, and construction products are negatively impacted by elevated interest rates and their effect on borrowing costs for our customers. Changes in the agricultural market business cycle, global trade policies, and interest rates are driven by factors outside of our control, and as a result we cannot reasonably foresee when these conditions will fully subside. Legal Proceeding – On January 15, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), along with the Attorneys General of the States of Illinois and Minnesota filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Western Division. The Attorneys General of the States of Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin joined the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges monopolization and unfair competition in violation of the federal and state antitrust laws. Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction and other equitable relief to allow owners of our equipment, as well as independent repair providers, access to our repair tools and any other repair resources available to authorized John Deere dealers. At this stage, we are unable to estimate the potential impact on our business. Other Items of Concern and Uncertainties – Other items that could impact our results are: ● global and regional political conditions, including the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, the conflict between India and Pakistan, and the conflicts in the Middle East ● shifts in energy, economic, tax and trade policies, and positions on government subsidies of farming ● capital market disruptions 28 ​ ● foreign currency and capital control policies ● right to repair regulations and legislation ● weather conditions ● marketplace adoption and monetization of technologies we have invested in ● our ability to strengthen our digital capabilities, automation, autonomy, and alternative power technologies ● changes in demand and pricing for new and used equipment ● delays or disruptions in our supply chain ● significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates ● volatility in the prices of many commodities ● slower economic growth Consolidated Results – 2025 Compared with 2024 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ Deere & Company ​ April 27 ​ April 28 ​ % ​ April 27 ​ April 28 ​ % ​ (In millions of dollars, except per share amounts) ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ Change ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ Change ​ Net sales and revenues ​ $ 12,763 ​ $ 15,235 ​ -16 ​ $ 21,272 ​ $ 27,420 ​ -22 ​ Net income attributable to Deere & Company ​ ​ 1,804 ​ ​ 2,370 ​ -24 ​ ​ 2,673 ​ ​ 4,121 ​ -35 ​ Diluted earnings per share ​ ​ 6.64 ​ ​ 8.53 ​ ​ ​ ​ 9.82 ​ ​ 14.74 ​ ​ ​ ​ Net sales and revenues decreased for both the quarter and year-to-date periods primarily due to lower sales volumes. Net income and diluted EPS decreased primarily due to lower sales volumes and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange, partially offset by lower production costs and discrete tax items in the first quarter of 2025 (see Note 21). The discussion of net sales and operating profit is included in the Business Segment Results below. An explanation of the cost of sales to net sales ratio and other significant statement of consolidated income changes follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ ​ ​ April 27 ​ April 28 ​ % ​ April 27 ​ April 28 ​ % ​ Deere & Company ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ Change ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ Change ​ Cost of sales to net sales ​ ​ 68.1% ​ ​ 67.3% ​ ​ ​ ​ 70.3% ​ ​ 67.9% ​ ​ ​ (–) Overhead costs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Unfavorable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Unfavorable ​ (–) Tariffs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Unfavorable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Unfavorable ​ + Material costs ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Favorable ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Favorable ​ Increased due to higher overhead costs from production inefficiencies associated with lower volumes and higher tariffs, partially offset by reduced material costs, and lower employee profit-sharing incentives. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Other income ​ $ 238 ​ $ 238 ​ ​ ​ $ 485 ​ $ 577 ​ -16 ​ Lower for the first six months primarily due to reduced international mutual funds investment income. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Research and development expenses ​ ​ 549 ​ ​ 565 ​ -3 ​ ​ 1,075 ​ ​ 1,098 ​ -2 ​ Largely unchanged due to continued focus on developing and incorporating technology solutions. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Selling, administrative and general expenses ​ ​ 1,197 ​ ​ 1,265 ​ -5 ​ ​ 2,169 ​ ​ 2,330 ​ -7 ​ Decreased for both periods mostly due to lower employee profit-sharing incentives, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses. Additionally, the first six months includes the favorable impact of a reduced valuation allowance on Banco John Deere S.A. (BJD) assets (see Note 21). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Interest expense ​ ​ 784 ​ ​ 836 ​ -6 ​ ​ 1,614 ​ ​ 1,638 ​ -1 ​ Decreased for both periods primarily due to lower average borrowings and lower average borrowing rates. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Other operating expenses ​ ​ 287 ​ ​ 295 ​ -3 ​ ​ 536 ​ ​ 664 ​ -19 ​ Decreased for the first six months due to lower foreign currency exchange losses in the first quarter and higher pension benefits for both periods (see Note 6). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Provision for income taxes ​ ​ 539 ​ ​ 751 ​ -28 ​ ​ 566 ​ ​ 1,220 ​ -54 ​ Decreased for both periods as a result of lower pretax income. Additionally, the six months ended was impacted by the favorable impact of discrete tax adjustments (see Note 21). ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 29 ​ Business Segment Results – 2025 Compared with 2024 The equipment operations segment results were impacted by incremental tariffs in 2025. The tariff costs were included in production costs and other items, and were offset by cost reductions in the same categories. ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ ​ ​ April 27 ​ April 28 ​ % ​ April 27 ​ April 28 ​ % ​ Production and Precision Agriculture ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ Change ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ Change ​ Net sales ​ $ 5,230 ​ $ 6,581 ​ -21 ​ $ 8,297 ​ $ 11,430 ​ -27 ​ Operating profit ​ ​ 1,148 ​ ​ 1,650 ​ -30 ​ ​ 1,486 ​ ​ 2,695 ​ -45 ​ Operating margin ​ ​ 22.0% ​ ​ 25.1% ​ ​ ​ ​ 17.9% ​ ​ 23.6% ​ ​ ​ Price realization ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ +1 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ +1 ​ Currency translation impact on Net sales ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ -2 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ -2 ​ ​ Production and precision agriculture sales decreased for the quarter as a result of lower U.S. shipment volumes driven mainly by higher interest rates and used inventory levels. Operating profit decreased primarily due to lower shipment volumes / sales mix and unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange. This was partially offset by decreased production costs from lower material costs and employee profit-sharing incentives, and price realization. Production & Precision Agriculture Operating Profit Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024 Sales for the first six months decreased as a result of lower shipment volumes (primarily in the U.S. and Europe). Operating profit for the first six months decreased due to lower shipment volumes / sales mix driven by higher interest rates and used inventory levels, partially offset by decreased production costs from lower material costs and employee profit-sharing incentives, and price realization.

Operating profit remained steady as favorable factors including lower production costs from lower material costs, lower warranty expenses, and price realization were offset by lower shipment volumes / sales mix. Small Agriculture & Turf Operating Profit Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024 Sales for the first six months decreased as a result of lower shipment volumes (primarily in the U.S. and Europe) driven mainly by economic uncertainties and higher interest rates. Operating profit for the first six months decreased primarily as a result of lower shipment volumes / sales mix, partially offset by decreased production costs driven by lower material costs, and price realization.

Operating profit decreased primarily due to lower shipment volumes / sales mix and unfavorable price realization due to pressures from the competitive environment. Construction & Forestry Operating Profit Second Quarter 2025 Compared to Second Quarter 2024 Sales for the first six months decreased due to lower worldwide shipment volumes due to planned underproduction in the first quarter, economic uncertainties, and higher interest rates. Operating profit decreased primarily due to lower shipment volumes / sales mix and unfavorable price realization due to pressures from the competitive environment.

Excluding the impact of BJD, revenue was flat in the second quarter of 2025 and increased slightly in the first six months of 2025. Financial services net income in the second quarter of 2025 was flat compared with the same period last year due to less favorable financing spreads and a higher provision for credit losses, offset by lower selling, administrative, and general expenses and a reduction in derivative valuation adjustments. Excluding the impact of the BJD special item in 2025 (see Note 21), net income decreased in the first six months of 2025 due to a higher provision for credit losses and lower financing spreads, partially offset by lower selling, administrative, and general expenses and a reduction in derivative valuation adjustments. Critical Accounting Estimates See our critical accounting estimates discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies. Capital Resources and Liquidity – 2025 Compared with 2024 We have access to global markets at a reasonable cost. Sources of liquidity include: ● cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand ● funds from operations ● the issuance of commercial paper and term debt ● the securitization of retail notes ● bank lines of credit We closely monitor our cash requirements. Based on the available sources of liquidity, we expect to meet our funding needs in the short term (next 12 months) and long term (beyond 12 months). We are forecasting lower operating cash flows from equipment operations in 2025 compared with 2024 driven by a decrease in net income adjusted for non-cash provisions. We operate in multiple industries, which have unique funding requirements. The equipment operations are capital intensive. Historically, these operations have been subject to seasonal variations in financing requirements for inventories and receivables from dealers. The financial services operations rely on their ability to raise substantial amounts of funds to finance their receivable and lease portfolio. In the second quarter of 2025, the BJD business was deconsolidated (see Note 20). BJD assets and liabilities were reclassified to held for sale in the third quarter of 2024 and maintained that classification until the deconsolidation; they are not included within balances at year-end 2024. Key metrics are provided in the following table: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ April 27 ​ October 27 ​ April 28 ​ ​ ​ 2025 ​ 2024 ​ 2024 ​ Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities ​ $ 9,263 ​ $ 8,478 ​ $ 6,647 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Trade accounts and notes receivable – net ​ ​ 6,748 ​ ​ 5,326 ​ ​ 8,880 ​ Ratio to prior 12 month’s net sales ​ ​ 17% ​ ​ 12% ​ ​ 17% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Inventories ​ ​ 7,870 ​ ​ 7,093 ​ ​ 8,443 ​ Ratio to prior 12 month’s cost of sales ​ ​ 29% ​ ​ 23% ​ ​ 24% ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Unused credit lines ​ ​ 4,866 ​ ​ 6,474 ​ ​ 2,787 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Financial Services: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Ratio of interest-bearing debt to stockholder’s equity ​ ​ 8.7 to 1 ​ ​ 8.1 to 1 ​ ​ 8.7 to 1 ​ ​ 33 ​ The decrease in unused credit lines during the first six months of 2025 relates to an increase in commercial paper outstanding partially offset by an increase in bank lines of credit. The increase in unused credit lines compared to a year ago was due to a decrease in commercial paper outstanding and an increase in bank lines of credit. There have been no material changes to the contractual obligations and other cash requirements identified in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. Cash Flows ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Six Months Ended ​ ​ ​ April 27, 2025 ​ April 28, 2024 ​ Net cash provided by operating activities ​ $ 568 ​ $ 944 ​ Net cash provided by (used for) investing activities ​ ​ 779 ​ ​ (1,670) ​ Net cash used for financing activities ​ ​ (821) ​ ​ (1,162) ​ Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash ​ ​ 20 ​ ​ (5) ​ Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash ​ $ 546 ​ $ (1,893) ​ ​ Cash inflows from consolidated operating activities in the first six months of 2025 were $568. This resulted mainly from net income adjusted for non-cash provisions, partially offset by an increase in receivables related to sales, an increase in inventories, employee profit-sharing incentives, an OPEB contribution, and a reduction in dealer sales incentive accruals. Cash inflows from investing activities were $779 in the first six months of this year. The primary drivers were collections of receivables (excluding receivables related to sales) exceeding the cost of receivables acquired, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment. Cash outflows from financing activities were $821 in the first six months of 2025, as cash returned to shareholders was partially offset by higher external borrowings. Cash returned to shareholders was $1,681 in the first six months of 2025. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased $546 during the first six months of 2025. Key Metrics and Balance Sheet Changes Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable. Trade accounts and notes receivable arise from sales of goods to customers. Trade receivables increased $1,422 during the first six months of 2025, primarily due to a seasonal increase. These receivables decreased $2,132 compared to a year ago due to lower sales volumes. The percentage of total worldwide trade receivables outstanding for periods exceeding 12 months was 7% at April 27, 2025, 6% at October 27, 2024, and 2% at April 28, 2024. Financing Receivables and Equipment on Operating Leases. Financing receivables and equipment on operating leases consist of retail notes originated in connection with financing of new and used equipment, operating leases, revolving charge accounts, sales-type and direct financing leases, and wholesale notes. Financing receivables and equipment on operating leases decreased $2,353 during the first six months of 2025, primarily due to lower retail customer receivables, seasonal payments, and a decline in wholesale notes. Financing receivables and equipment on operating leases decreased $1,375 in the past 12 months due to the sale of 50% ownership in BJD and deconsolidation of related receivables in the second quarter of 2025 (see Note 20). Excluding the related BJD receivables from April 28, 2024 balances, financing receivables and equipment on operating leases increased $1,589 due to higher retail customer receivables and wholesale notes. Total acquisition volumes of financing receivables and equipment on operating leases were 17% lower in the first six months of 2025, compared with the same period last year excluding BJD receivables, as volumes of wholesale notes, retail notes, operating leases, and financing leases were lower, while revolving charge accounts were higher compared to the same period last year. Inventories. Inventories increased by $777 during the first six months of 2025 primarily due to a seasonal increase, and decreased by $573 compared to a year ago due to lower forecasted shipment volumes. A majority of these inventories are valued on the last-in, first out (LIFO) method. Property and Equipment. Property and equipment cash expenditures in the first six months of 2025 were $555 compared with $719 in the same period last year. Capital expenditures in 2025 are estimated to be approximately $1,430. Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $1,198 in the first six months of 2025, primarily due to a decrease in accrued expenses associated with employee benefits and dealer sales discounts. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased $1,264 compared to a year ago due to a decrease in accrued expenses associated with derivative liabilities, employee benefits, and warranty liabilities, and a decrease in accounts payable associated with trade payables. 34 ​ Borrowings. Total external borrowings increased by $1,128 in the first six months of 2025 and increased $684 compared to a year ago, which contributed to higher cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances. The change in borrowings compared to a year ago was also impacted by the sale of 50% ownership in BJD and deconsolidation of related borrowings in the second quarter of 2025 (see Note 20). BJD borrowings at year-end were included in “Liabilities held for sale.” John Deere Capital Corporation (Capital Corporation), a U.S. financial services subsidiary, has a revolving warehouse facility to utilize bank conduit facilities to securitize retail notes (see Note 9). The facility has an expiration in November 2025 and total capacity or “financing limit” of $2,500. At April 27, 2025, $1,643 of securitization borrowings were outstanding under the facility. At the end of the contractual revolving period, unless the banks and Capital Corporation agree to renew, Capital Corporation would liquidate the secured borrowings over time as payments on the retail notes are collected. In the first six months of 2025, the financial services operations issued $1,480 and retired $2,351 of retail note securitization borrowings, which are presented in “Net proceeds (payments) in short-term borrowings (original maturities three months or less).” Lines of Credit. We have access to bank lines of credit with various banks throughout the world. Worldwide lines of credit totaled $11.9 billion at April 27, 2025, consisting primarily of: ● a 364-day credit facility agreement of $5.0 billion expiring in the second quarter of 2026 ● a credit facility agreement of $3.25 billion expiring in the second quarter of 2028 ● a credit facility agreement of $3.25 billion expiring in the second quarter of 2030 At April 27, 2025, $4,866 of these worldwide lines of credit were unused. For the purpose of computing unused credit lines, commercial paper and short-term bank borrowings were considered to constitute utilization. These credit agreements require Capital Corporation and other parts of our business to maintain certain performance metrics and liquidity targets. All requirements in the credit agreements have been met during the periods included in the financial statements. Debt Ratings. To access public debt capital markets, we rely on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings to our debt securities as an indicator of credit quality for fixed income investors. A security rating is not a recommendation by the rating agency to buy, sell, or hold our securities. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw ratings based on its assessment of our current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. Each agency’s rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Lower credit ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, including costs of derivative transactions, reduced access to debt capital markets, and may adversely impact our liquidity. The senior long-term and short-term debt ratings and outlook currently assigned to unsecured company securities by the rating agencies engaged by us are as follows: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Senior ​ ​ ​ ​ Long-Term ​ Short-Term ​ Outlook Fitch Ratings ​ A+ ​ F1 ​ Stable ​ Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. A1 Prime-1 Stable ​ Standard & Poor’s A A-1 Stable ​ ​ FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS Certain statements contained herein, including in the section entitled “Overview,” “Trends and Economic Conditions,” and “Condensed Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements” relating to future events, expectations, and trends constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve factors that are subject to change, assumptions, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Some of these risks and uncertainties could affect all lines of our operations generally while others could more heavily affect a particular line of business. Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and current assumptions, expectations, and projections about future events and should not be relied upon. Except as required by law, we expressly disclaim any obligation to update or revise our forward-looking statements. Many factors, risks, and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Among these factors are risks related to: ● government policies and actions with respect to the global trade environment including increased and proposed tariffs announced by the U.S. government, any potential retaliatory trade regulations, tariffs and policies and the uncertainty of our ability to sell products domestically or internationally, continue production at certain international facilities, procure raw materials and components, accurately forecast demand and inventory, manage increased costs of production, absorb or pass on increased pricing, accurately predict financial results and industry trends, and remain competitive based on these trade actions, policies, and general economic uncertainty;

Equipment operations represent the enterprise without financial services. Equipment operations include production and precision agriculture operations, small agriculture and turf operations, construction and forestry operations, and other corporate assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses not reflected within financial services. Transactions between the equipment operations and financial services have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated financial statements. Equipment operations and financial services participate in different industries. Equipment operations primarily generate earnings and cash flows by manufacturing and selling equipment, service parts, and technology solutions to dealers and retail customers. Financial services finance sales and leases by dealers of new and used equipment that is largely manufactured by equipment operations. Those earnings and cash flows generally are the difference between the finance income received from customer payments less interest expense, and depreciation on equipment subject to an operating lease. The two businesses are capitalized differently and have separate performance metrics. The supplemental consolidating data is also used by management due to these differences. ​ 37 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ DEERE & COMPANY ​ ​ SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATING
