Condensed Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) Organization and Consolidation
Deere & Company has been developing innovative solutions to help its customers become more profitable for more than 185 years. References to “Deere & Company,” “John Deere,” “we,” “us,” or “our” include our consolidated subsidiaries. We manage our business through the following operating segments: production and precision agriculture (PPA), small agriculture and turf (SAT), construction and forestry (CF), and financial services (John Deere Financial or FS). References to “agriculture and turf” include both PPA and SAT.
We use a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The third quarter ends for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 were July 27, 2025 and July 28, 2024, respectively. Both quarters contained 13 weeks, while both year-to-date periods contained 39 weeks. Fiscal year 2025 will contain 53 weeks, with the additional week occurring in the fourth quarter. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years, quarters, or months refer to our fiscal years generally ending in October and the associated periods in those fiscal years.
All amounts are presented in millions of dollars unless otherwise specified. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.
Variable Interest Entity
We have a 50 % ownership interest in Banco John Deere S.A. (BJD), an equity method investment that finances retail and wholesale loans for agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment in Brazil. This investment was established in February 2025 through the sale of 50 % ownership of a former subsidiary (see Note 20). BJD is a variable interest entity (VIE) as we provide funding and are exposed to losses that are disproportionate to our voting rights. However, we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because the power over significant activities, including the strategic plan, budget, credit policies, and funding guidelines, is shared among equity holders through an equally represented board of directors.
Financial results of BJD are reported in “Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates.” The related investment in unconsolidated affiliates is included in “Other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, while short-term and long-term funding is recorded in receivables from unconsolidated affiliates and included in “Other receivables.”
Our carrying value of receivables from and investments in BJD and maximum exposure to loss at July 27, 2025 follows:
July 27
2025
Receivables from unconsolidated affiliates – "Other receivables"
$
516
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates – "Other assets"
395
Carrying value of assets related to VIE
911
Guarantees
153
Maximum exposure to loss
$
1,064
Guarantees primarily include BJD debt related to government funding that existed prior to the deconsolidation of BJD, and no contractual liability is recorded by us on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. The maximum exposure to loss is not an indication of our expected loss exposure.
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting PROnouncements
Quarterly Financial Statements
The interim consolidated financial statements of Deere & Company have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All normal recurring adjustments have been included. Management believes the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. It is suggested these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the fiscal year.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the amounts reflected in the financial statements and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
7
New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted
We closely monitor all Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and other authoritative guidance. We adopted the following standards in 2025, none of which had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
No. 2023-05 — Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement
No. 2022-03 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions
Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 , Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets, which provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on short-term receivables from sales transactions. The ASU will be effective for us beginning with our interim reporting for fiscal year 2027, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the effect of this update on our financial results.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 , Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which expands disclosures about specific expense categories presented on the face of the income statement. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 , Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The ASU will be effective for us beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2028 and interim periods thereafter. We are assessing the effect of ASU 2024-03 on our related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 , Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The ASU will be effective for us beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2026. We are assessing the effect of this update on our related disclosures.
We will also adopt the following standards in future periods, none of which are expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
No. 2024-04 — Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments
No. 2023-07 — Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
No. 2023-06 — Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative

We invoice in advance of recognizing the revenue of certain products and services. These relate to extended warranty premiums, advance payments for future equipment sales, and subscription and service revenue related to precision guidance, telematic services, and other information-enabled solutions. These advanced customer payments are presented as deferred revenue, a contract liability, in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses.” The deferred revenue received, but not recognized in revenue was $ 2,100 , $ 1,923 , and $ 1,895 at July 27, 2025, October 27, 2024, and July 28, 2024, respectively. The contract liability is reduced as the revenue is recognized. Revenue recognized from deferred revenue that was recorded as a contract liability at the beginning of the fiscal year was $ 125 and $ 126 during the three months and $ 498 and $ 484 during the nine months ended July 27, 2025 and July 28, 2024, respectively.
The amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year was $ 1,823 at July 27, 2025. The estimated revenue to be recognized by fiscal year follows: remainder of 2025 – $ 182 , 2026 – $ 504 , 2027 – $ 425 , 2028 – $ 302 , 2029 – $ 190 , 2030 – $ 140 , and later years – $ 80 . As permitted, we elected only to disclose remaining performance obligations with an original contract duration greater than one year. The contracts with an expected duration of one year or less are for sales to dealers and retail customers for equipment, service parts, repair services, and certain telematics services.

(8) Financing Receivables
We monitor the credit quality of financing receivables based on delinquency status, defined as follows:
● Past due balances represent any payments 30 days or more past the due date.
● Non-performing financing receivables represent receivables for which we have stopped accruing finance income. This generally occurs when receivables are 90 days delinquent.
● Write-offs generally occur when receivables are 120 days delinquent. In these situations, the estimated uncollectible amount is written off to the allowance for credit losses.

The credit quality and aging analysis of retail notes, financing leases, and revolving charge accounts (collectively, retail customer receivables) by year of origination was as follows:

The allowance for credit losses remained relatively flat in the third quarter of 2025 and increased in the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to higher expected losses on agriculture and turf customer accounts as a result of elevated delinquencies and a decline in market conditions.
In the third quarter of 2024, the financial services business in Brazil met the held for sale criteria. The receivables in Brazil were reclassified to “Assets held for sale.” The associated allowance for credit losses was reversed and a valuation allowance for the assets held for sale was recorded (see Note 21). These operations were deconsolidated in the second quarter of 2025 (see Note 20).

Modifications
We occasionally grant contractual modifications to customers experiencing financial difficulties. Before offering a modification, we evaluate the ability of the customer to meet the modified payment terms. Modifications offered include payment deferrals, term extensions, or a combination thereof. Finance charges continue to accrue during the deferral or extension period with the exception of modifications related to bankruptcy proceedings. Our allowance for credit losses incorporates historical loss information, including the effects of loan modifications with customers. Therefore, additional adjustments to the allowance are generally not recorded upon modification of a loan.
The ending amortized cost of financing receivables modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty was as follows:

For the nine months ended July 27, 2025, the financial effects of payment deferrals with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty resulted in a weighted average payment deferral of 7 months to the modified contracts. Term extensions provided to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty added a weighted average of 11 months to the modified contracts. Additionally, modifications with a combination of both payment deferrals and term extensions resulted in a weighted average payment deferral of 5 months and a weighted average term extension of 8 months .
We continue to monitor the performance of financing receivables that are modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The ending amortized cost and performance of financing receivables modified during the prior twelve months ended July 27, 2025 and July 28, 2024 were as follows:

* In accordance with the adoption date of the accounting modification guidance, this period includes receivables modified during the prior nine months.
Defaults and subsequent write-offs of loans modified in the prior twelve months were not significant during the three months and the nine months ended July 27, 2025. In addition, at July 27, 2025, commitments to provide additional financing to these customers were not significant.
(9) Securitization of Financing Receivables
Our funding strategy includes receivable securitizations, which allows us to receive cash for financing receivables immediately. While these securitization programs are administered in various forms, they are accomplished in the following basic steps:
1. We transfer financing receivables into a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (SPE).
2. The SPE issues debt to investors. The debt is secured by the financing receivables.
3. Investors are paid back based on cash receipts from the financing receivables.
As part of step 1, these receivables are legally isolated from the claims of our general creditors. This ensures cash receipts from the financing receivables are accessible to pay back securitization program investors. The structure of these transactions does not meet the accounting criteria for a sale of receivables. As a result, they are accounted for as secured borrowings. The receivables and borrowings remain on our balance sheet and are separately reported as “Financing receivables securitized – net” and “Short-term securitization borrowings,” respectively.

We may repossess the equipment collateralizing the receivables. At July 27, 2025, the accrued losses under these agreements were not material. We also had guarantees to a VIE (see Note 1) totaling $ 153 as of July 27, 2025.
We also had other miscellaneous contingent liabilities and guarantees totaling approximately $ 125 at July 27, 2025. The accrued liability for these contingencies was $ 25 at July 27, 2025.
At July 27, 2025, we had commitments of approximately $ 630 for the construction and acquisition of property and equipment. Also, at July 27, 2025, we had restricted assets of $ 331 , classified as “Other assets,” which includes restricted cash primarily related to securitization of financing receivables (see Note 9) and cash that is legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage.
We are subject to various unresolved legal actions. The accrued losses on these matters were not material at July 27, 2025. We believe the reasonably possible range of losses, if any, for these unresolved legal actions would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. The most prevalent legal claims relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), antitrust matters (including class action litigation), employment, patent, and trademark.

Fair value measurements above were Level 3 for receivables and Level 2 for all borrowings.
Fair values of the financing receivables and receivables from unconsolidated affiliates that were issued long-term were based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by us for similar financing receivables or at current market interest rates. The fair values of the remaining receivables approximated the carrying amounts. In May 2025 and May 2024, we acquired held-to-maturity marketable securities that mature in less than one year. The carrying value of the held-to-maturity marketable securities was $ 62 and $ 12 as of July 27, 2025 and July 28, 2024 , respectively, which approximated fair values.
Fair values of long-term borrowings and short-term securitization borrowings were based on current market quotes for identical or similar borrowings and credit risk, or on the discounted values of their related cash flows at current market interest rates. Certain long-term borrowings have been swapped to current variable interest rates. The carrying values of these long-term borrowings include adjustments related to fair value hedges.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies we use to measure certain financial instruments on the balance sheets at fair value:
Marketable securities – The portfolio of investments is valued on a market approach (matrix pricing model) in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, credit risk, and prepayment speeds. Funds are valued using the fund’s net asset value, based on the fair value of the underlying securities. International debt securities are valued using quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets.
24
Derivatives – Our derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate contracts (swaps), foreign currency exchange contracts (futures, forwards, and swaps), and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps). The portfolio is valued based on an income approach (discounted cash flow) using market observable inputs, including swap curves and both forward and spot exchange rates for currencies.
Deferred consideration – The total purchase price consideration for three former Deere-Hitachi joint venture factories acquired in 2022 included supply agreement price increases beyond inflation adjustments. This deferred consideration will be paid as we purchase Deere-branded excavators, components, and service parts from Hitachi under the agreement with a duration that ranges from 5 to 30 years after the acquisition date. The deferred consideration balance is reduced as purchases are made and valued on a discounted cash flow approach using market rates.
Property and equipment – net – The valuations were based on the cost approach. The inputs include reproduction cost estimates adjusted for physical deterioration and functional obsolescence (see Note 21).
Other intangible assets – net – The impairment of customer relationships and tradename of our external overseas battery operations was measured using an income approach (see Note 21).
Other assets (Investments in unconsolidated affiliates) – Other than temporary impairments of investments are measured as the difference between the implied fair value and the carrying value of the investments. The estimated fair value for privately held entities is determined by an income approach (discounted cash flows), which includes inputs such as interest rates and margins.
Assets held for sale – The disposal group was measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. Fair value was based on the probable sale price. The inputs included estimates of the final sale price (see Note 21).

In April 2025, we entered into a cross-currency interest rate swap as a designated net investment hedge to reduce the foreign currency exposure from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Changes in fair value of the derivative attributable to changes in the spot rate are recorded in “Cumulative translation adjustment” within “Other comprehensive income” (OCI) to offset changes in the value of the net investments being hedged. Effectiveness is assessed using the spot method. The periodic cash settlement of the pay-fixed rate, receive-fixed rate cross-currency swap is recorded in “Interest expense.”
Certain of our derivative agreements contain credit support provisions that may require us to post collateral based on the size of the net liability positions and credit ratings. The aggregate fair value of all derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position at July 27, 2025, October 27, 2024, and July 28, 2024, was $ 465 , $ 562 , and $ 566 , respectively. In accordance with the limits established in these agreements, we posted $ 122 , $ 245 , and $ 269 of cash collateral at July 27, 2025, October 27, 2024, and July 28, 2024, respectively. In addition, we paid $ 8 of collateral that was outstanding at July 27, 2025, October 27, 2024, and July 28, 2024 to participate in an international futures market to hedge currency exposure, not included in the table below.

(19) Share-Based Awards
We are authorized to grant shares for equity incentive awards. The outstanding shares authorized were 13.7 million at July 27, 2025. During the nine months ended July 27, 2025, we granted stock options to employees for the purchase of 169 thousand shares of common stock at a weighted-average exercise price of $ 448.18 per share and a weighted-average binomial lattice model fair value of $ 116.35 per share at the grant date. At July 27, 2025, options for 1.1 million shares were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 317.80 per share.

(20) AcQUISITIONs AND Disposition
Acquisitions
In 2025, we acquired businesses to advance the capabilities of our existing technology offerings, providing customers with a more comprehensive set of tools to generate and use data to make decisions that improve profitability, efficiency, and sustainability. The combined cost of these acquisitions was $ 89 , net of cash acquired. The businesses were assigned to the PPA and CF segments. Most of the purchase price for these acquisitions was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets.
Disposition
In February 2025, we completed a transaction with Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bradesco), for Bradesco to invest and become a 50 % owner of our wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, BJD. Bradesco contributed capital directly to BJD. The transaction resulted in the deconsolidation of BJD in the second quarter of 2025. BJD finances retail and wholesale loans for agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment and was included in our financial services segment. BJD was a part of our Brazil operations which is considered an integrated single foreign entity.
We retained a 50 % equity interest in BJD, which was valued at the deconsolidation date at $ 362 based on the completed transaction with Bradesco and its amount of contributed capital. We are accounting for our investment in BJD using the equity method of accounting and results of its operations are reported in “Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates.” The related investment in unconsolidated affiliates and receivables from unconsolidated affiliates are reported in “Other assets” and “Other receivables,” respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

At the time of deconsolidation in February 2025, the additional gain or loss was not significant. BJD was reclassified as held for sale in the third quarter of 2024.
Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows – Our noncash transactions as a result of BJD deconsolidation in February 2025 include the following items: derecognition of the above total assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) and total liabilities, and the recognition of the investment in unconsolidated affiliates and receivables from unconsolidated affiliates (BJD intercompany payables above). The decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulting from deconsolidation of BJD was recorded in investing activities – “Other” in the statements of consolidated cash flows.
(21) Special ItemS
2025
Impairment
In the third quarter of 2025, we recorded a non-cash charge of $ 61 pretax ($ 49 after-tax), primarily related to the trade name and customer relationship assets of our external overseas battery operations. Of this amount, $ 53 was recorded in “Selling, administrative and general expenses” and $ 8 in “Cost of sales.” The impairment resulted from slowing external demand for batteries, which indicated that it is probable future cash flows would not cover the carrying value of the assets (see Note 17).
Discrete Tax Items
In the first quarter of 2025, we recorded favorable net discrete tax items primarily due to tax benefits of $ 110 related to the realization of foreign net operating losses from the consolidation of certain subsidiaries and $ 53 from an adjustment to an uncertain tax position of a foreign subsidiary.
Banco John Deere S.A.
In February 2025, we completed the transaction with Bradesco (see Note 20) for the sale of 50 % ownership in BJD. BJD was included in our financial services segment and was reclassified as held for sale in the third quarter of 2024. In the first quarter of 2025, a pretax and after-tax gain (reversal of previous losses) of $ 32 was recorded in “Selling, administrative and general expenses” and presented in “Impairments and other adjustments” in the statements of consolidated income and consolidated cash flows, respectively.
2024
Employee-Separation Programs
In the third quarter of 2024, we implemented employee-separation programs for our salaried workforce in several geographic areas, including the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The programs’ main purpose was to help meet our strategic priorities while reducing overlap and redundancy in roles and responsibilities. The programs were largely involuntary in nature with the expense recorded when management committed to a plan, the plan was communicated to the employees, and the employees were not required to provide service beyond the legal notification period. For the limited voluntary employee-separation programs, the expense was recorded in the period in which the employee irrevocably accepted a separation offer.
28
The programs’ total pretax expenses recorded in the third quarter of 2024 were $ 124 . Payments made during the third quarter of 2024 with respect to these program expenses totaled $ 30 . The expenses for the three months and nine months ended July 28, 2024 were recorded as follows:

The net impact of these entries was a pretax and after-tax loss of $ 15 recorded in “ Selling, administrative and general expenses .”
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
In the third quarter of 2024, we exercised our right to purchase the remaining 20 percent interest in SurePoint Ag Systems, Inc. The arrangement was accounted for as an equity transaction with no gain or loss recorded in the statements of consolidated income.

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 remain focused on 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 for fiscal 2025 are expected 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 in late model-year machines, trade uncertainty, and the persistence of lower commodity prices. Constrained global grain and oilseed stocks, stable customer balance sheets supported by strong farm land values, the impact of U.S. government subsidies on farm incomes, and projected strong crop yields 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. Solid profitability is anticipated to continue in the small agricultural sector as dairy and livestock prices remain elevated; however, this is projected to be more than offset by restrained demand in the turf and compact utility tractor markets amid economic uncertainty and elevated interest rates.
● Industry demand in Europe is forecasted to be flat to down slightly. Farm fundamentals are improving, supported by strong dairy margins, coupled with an improving interest rate environment.
● Demand in South America is expected to be roughly flat. In Brazil, record crop yields, improved corn and soybean profitability, and continued expansion of crop production acreage are expected to have a positive impact
30
on sales. However, high interest rates and greater trade policy uncertainty with the U.S. continue to temper demand for equipment.
● Industry sales in Asia are forecasted to be flat to up slightly as the outlook for tractor sales in India improves.
Construction and Forestry Outlook for 2025
● Construction industry sales for earthmoving equipment are forecasted to be down and compact construction equipment sales are expected to be flat to down in the U.S. and Canada from 2024 levels. The decline is due to trade uncertainty and higher interest rates. Projections for single-family housing starts are slowing, while rental sales along with multi-family and commercial real estate markets continue to soften. 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 growth in Europe and a slight recovery in China, offset by slightly lower demand in North America compared to 2024.

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. During 2025, new tariffs were imposed in the U.S. for imports from a broad range of countries and materials. Certain countries also implemented or proposed retaliatory tariffs on imports from the U.S. and barriers to trade. 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. During 2025, incremental import tariffs have adversely affected the cost of our products and components and may continue to do so. 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 in the first nine months of 2025 was approximately $300, excluding the impact of tariffs on our suppliers and market demand. On August 18, 2025, the scope of steel and aluminum derivative duties was expanded to include additional Harmonized Tariff Schedule codes. The updated tariff coverage is expected to further increase the cost of our products and components. We are actively taking steps to mitigate, to the extent possible, potential impacts on our business.
Interest Rates. Interest rates in the U.S. and Brazil have remained elevated in 2025. Higher rates and volatility in 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.
Tax Legislation – In July, the U.S. government enacted new tax legislation as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025. The legislation has multiple effective dates, beginning in 2025 and continuing through 2027. It did not have a material impact on our financial statements and is not expected to affect the current fiscal year materially.
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.
31
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 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
● 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

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 in the third quarter primarily due to lower sales volumes, higher tariffs, and unfavorable price realization. Results for the first nine months were also affected by lower production costs, driven by reduced material costs, and favorable discrete tax items (see Note 21). The discussion of net sales and operating profit is included in the Business Segment Results below.

Production and precision agriculture sales decreased for the quarter as a result of lower U.S. shipment volumes driven mainly by higher interest rates, global uncertainty, and used inventory levels. Increased shipment volumes in Brazil and Europe partially offset this decrease. Price realization was unfavorable for the quarter due to incremental incentive programs deployed to address used inventory levels in North America. Operating profit decreased primarily due to lower shipment volumes / sales mix.

The average balance of receivables and leases financed was 6% lower in the third quarter of 2025 and 5% lower in the first nine months of 2025 compared with the same periods last year, primarily due to the deconsolidation of BJD. Revenue decreased for both periods as a result of a lower average portfolio.
Financial services net income for the quarter was higher due to a lower provision for credit losses and prior year special items (see Note 21). Net income for the nine month period was higher due to benefits from special items (see Note 21) and lower selling, administrative, and general expenses, partially offset by lower financing spreads and a higher provision for credit losses.
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 of any of the periods presented.

The decrease in unused credit lines during the first nine 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 an increase in bank lines of credit and a small decrease in commercial paper outstanding.

Cash inflows from consolidated operating activities in the first nine months of 2025 were $3,464. This resulted mainly from net income adjusted for non-cash provisions, partially offset by an OPEB contribution, a decrease in accrued employee profit-sharing incentives, an increase in inventories, and an increase in receivables related to sales. Cash outflows from investing activities were $801 in the first nine months of this year. The primary drivers were purchases of property and equipment and growth in equipment on operating leases, partially offset by collections of receivables (excluding receivables related to sales) exceeding the cost of receivables acquired. Cash outflows from financing activities were $1,557 in the first nine months of 2025, as cash returned to shareholders was partially offset by higher external borrowings. Cash returned to shareholders was $2,418 in the first nine months of 2025. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased $1,214 during the first nine 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 $777 during the first nine months of 2025, primarily due to a seasonal increase. These receivables decreased $1,366 compared to a year ago due to lower sales volumes. The percentage of total worldwide trade receivables outstanding for periods exceeding 12 months was 3% at July 27, 2025, 6% at October 27, 2024, and 3% at July 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 $1,093 during the first nine months of 2025 and increased $102 in the past 12 months. The decrease during the first nine months of 2025 was due to lower retail customer receivables. Total acquisition volumes of financing receivables and equipment on operating leases were 15% lower in the first nine months of 2025, compared with the same period last year excluding BJD receivables, as volumes of wholesale notes, retail notes, financing leases, and operating leases were lower, while revolving charge accounts were slightly higher compared to the same period last year.
Inventories. Inventories increased by $620 during the first nine months of 2025 primarily due to a seasonal increase, and increased by $17 compared to a year ago. A majority of these inventories are valued at cost on the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) method.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment cash expenditures in the first nine months of 2025 were $852 compared with $1,043 in the same period last year. Capital expenditures in 2025 are estimated to be approximately $1,450.
Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $961 in the first nine 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 $815 compared to a year ago due to a decrease in accrued expenses associated with employee benefits, warranty liabilities, and dealer sales discounts.
Borrowings. Total external borrowings increased by $1,453 in the first nine months of 2025 and increased $791 compared to a year ago, which contributed to higher cash and cash equivalents.
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 July 27, 2025, $1,783 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.
37
In the first nine months of 2025, the financial services operations issued $2,618 and retired $3,441 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 $12.2 billion at July 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 July 27, 2025, $6,150 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.

SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATING DATA
The supplemental consolidating data presented on the subsequent pages is presented for informational purposes. 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.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
See our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (Part II, Item 7A). There have been no material changes in this information.
Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) were effective as of July 27, 2025, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. During the third quarter of 2025, there were no changes that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
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 then joined the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges monopolization and unfair competition in violation of 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. On March 17, 2025, we filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, the FTC filed a response on April 28, 2025, and we filed a reply on May 28, 2025. A hearing was held on the motion to dismiss and the court denied the motion. We are in preliminary discussions with the FTC with respect to a potential resolution. At this stage we are unable to predict the outcome or impact of this matter on our business.
In addition to the above, the most prevalent legal claims relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), employment, patent, trademark, and antitrust matters (including class action litigation).
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 27, 2024, except as set forth below:
Legal proceedings, disputes and government inquiries and investigations could harm our business, financial condition, reputation, and brand.
We routinely are a party to claims and legal actions and the subject of government inquiries and investigations, the most prevalent of which relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), antitrust matters (including class action litigation), employment, patent, and trademark. For example, we were recently the subject of a previously disclosed Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation into our information security practices and statements, which was closed by the FTC without action. The defense of lawsuits and government inquiries and investigations has resulted and may result in expenditures of significant financial resources and the diversion of management’s time and attention away from business operations. Adverse decisions in one or more of these claims, actions, inquiries, or investigations could require us to pay substantial damages or fines, undertake service actions, initiate recall campaigns, or take other costly actions. It is therefore possible that legal judgments or investigations could give rise to expenses that are not covered, or not fully covered, by our insurance programs and could affect our financial position and results.
We are currently subject to a consolidated multidistrict class action lawsuit in the Northern District of Illinois alleging that we have engaged in attempted monopolization, exclusionary conduct, and restraint of the market for repair services for John Deere brand agricultural equipment by limiting repair resources only to our authorized technicians or independent authorized John Deere dealers. In addition, the FTC, along with the Attorneys General of the States of Arizona, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Western Division alleging similar claims. We are currently unable to predict the outcome of these matters.
