ORGANIZATION AND CONSOLIDATION

(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 (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 year 2024 and 2023 were July 28, 2024 and July 30, 2023, respectively. Both third quarters contained 13 weeks, while both year-to-date periods contained 39 weeks. 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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

(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.

New Accounting Pronouncements

We closely monitor all Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and other authoritative guidance.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

We adopted the following standards in 2024, none of which had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

2022-04 — Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations

2022-02 — Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

2022-01 — Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method

2021-08 — Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers

Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted

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 income taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The effective date of the ASU is 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.

2023-07 — Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

2023-06 — Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative

2023-05 — Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement

2022-03 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions

We invoice in advance of recognizing the sale of certain products and the revenue for certain 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 $1,895, $1,697, and $1,753 at July 28, 2024, October 29, 2023, and July 30, 2023, respectively. The contract liability is reduced as the revenue is recognized. During the three months ended July 28, 2024 and July 30, 2023, $126 and $96, respectively, of revenue was recognized from deferred revenue that was recorded as a contract liability at the beginning of the respective fiscal year. During the nine months ended July 28, 2024 and July 30, 2023, $484 and $440, respectively, of revenue was recognized from deferred revenue that was recorded as a contract liability at the beginning of the respective fiscal year.

The amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year was $1,677 at July 28, 2024. The estimated revenue to be recognized by fiscal year follows: remainder of 2024 – $188, 2025 – $456, 2026 – $384, 2027 – $254, 2028 – $157, 2029 – $128, and later years – $110. 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.

FINANCING RECEIVABLES

(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. Any expected recovery is presented as non-performing.

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

In the third quarter of 2024, we determined that 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). Excluding the business in Brazil, the allowance for credit losses on retail notes and financing lease receivables increased in the third quarter and first nine months of 2024,

primarily due to higher expected losses as a result of elevated delinquencies and a decline in market conditions. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in the allowance on revolving charge accounts, driven by write-offs of seasonal financing program accounts and recoveries expected on those accounts in the future.

In the first quarter of 2023, the financial services business in Russia met the held for sale criteria. The allowance for credit losses for the financing receivables in Russia was reversed and a valuation allowance for the assets held for sale was recorded. These operations were sold in the second quarter of 2023 (see Note 20).

Write-offs by year of origination were as follows:

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 modified loans with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty during the third quarter and the nine months ended July 28, 2024 were $23 and $67, respectively, of which $56 were current, $4 were 30-59 days past due, $3 were 60-89 days past due, $1 were 90 days or greater past due, and $3 were non-performing. These modifications represented 0.04 and 0.13 percent of our financing receivable portfolio for the same periods, respectively.

Defaults and subsequent write-offs of loans modified in the prior twelve months were not significant during the third quarter or the first nine months of 2024. In addition, at July 28, 2024, commitments to provide additional financing to these customers were not significant.

SECURITIZATION OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES  
SECURITIZATION OF FINANCING RECEIVABLES

(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 a secured borrowing. The receivables and borrowings remain on our balance sheet and are separately reported as “Financing receivables securitized – net” and “Short-term securitization borrowings,” respectively.

The components of securitization programs were as follows:

A standard warranty is provided as assurance that the equipment will function as intended. The standard warranty period varies by product and region. At the time a sale is recognized, we record an estimate of future warranty costs based on historical claims rate experience and estimated population under warranty.

In certain international markets, we provide guarantees to banks for the retail financing of John Deere equipment. At July 28, 2024, the notional value of these guarantees was $151. We may repossess the equipment collateralizing the receivables. At July 28, 2024, the accrued losses under these agreements were not material.

We also had other miscellaneous contingent liabilities and guarantees totaling approximately $130 at July 28, 2024. The accrued liability for these contingencies was $20 at July 28, 2024.

At July 28, 2024, we had commitments of approximately $585 for the construction and acquisition of property and equipment. Also, at July 28, 2024, we had restricted assets of $234, classified as “Other assets.”

We are subject to various unresolved legal actions. The accrued losses on these matters were not material at July 28, 2024. We believe the reasonably possible range of losses for these unresolved legal actions would not have a material effect on our financial statements. The most prevalent legal claims relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), retail credit, employment, patent, trademark, and antitrust matters.

Fair value measurements above were Level 3 for all financing receivables and Level 2 for all borrowings.

Fair values of the financing receivables 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. The fair values of the remaining financing receivables approximated the carrying amounts. In May 2024, we acquired a held-to-maturity marketable security that matures in less than one year. The carrying value of the held-to-maturity marketable security was $12 as of July 28, 2024, which approximated its fair value.

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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis follow, excluding our cash equivalents, which were carried at a cost that approximates fair value and consisted of money market funds and time deposits.

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.

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.

Assets held for sale – The impairment 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).

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 28, 2024, October 29, 2023, and July 30, 2023, was $566, $1,076, and $865, respectively. In accordance with the limits established in these agreements, we posted $269, $659, and $435 of cash collateral at July 28, 2024, October 29, 2023, and July 30, 2023, respectively. In addition, we paid $8 of collateral that was outstanding at July 28, 2024, October 29, 2023, and July 30, 2023 to participate in an international futures market to hedge currency exposure, not included in the table below.

We are authorized to grant shares for stock options and restricted stock units. The outstanding shares authorized were 14.9 million at July 28, 2024. In December 2023, we granted stock options to employees for the purchase of 216 thousand shares of common stock at an exercise price of $377.01 per share and a binomial lattice model fair value of $98.04 per share at the grant date. At July 28, 2024, options for 1.7 million shares were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $228.10 per share.

During the nine months ended July 28, 2024, the restricted stock units (RSUs) granted in thousands of shares and the weighted-average grant date fair values, using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date, in dollars follow:

The market/service-based RSUs are subject to a market related metric based on total shareholder return, compared to a benchmark group of companies, and award common stock in a range of zero to 200 percent for each unit granted based on the level of the metric achieved. The fair value of the market/service-based RSUs was determined using a Monte Carlo model.

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.

The programs’ total pretax expenses are estimated to be approximately $150, with $124 recorded in the third quarter of 2024. The remaining expenses are expected to be recorded primarily in 2025. 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:

Banco John Deere S.A.

In the third quarter of 2024, our board of directors authorized the sale of 50 percent ownership in our wholly owned subsidiary, Banco John Deere S.A. (BJD). BJD, located in Brazil, is included in our financial services segment and finances retail and wholesale loans for agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. The transaction will reduce our incremental risk as we continue to grow in the Brazilian market. As a result, we reclassified the BJD business as held for sale, including a reversal of $38 in allowance for credit losses, and the establishment of a $53 valuation allowance on the assets held for sale. The net impact of these entries was a pretax and after-tax loss of $15 recorded in “Selling, administrative and general expenses.” We do not expect a significant gain or loss upon deconsolidation of BJD in 2025.

The major classes of the total consolidated assets and liabilities of BJD that were classified as held for sale and liabilities of BJD to other intercompany parties were as follows:

On the transaction date, which is expected to occur in the second quarter of 2025, subject to usual and customary regulatory approval, Bradesco will contribute capital equal to our equity investment in BJD. We will retain a 50 percent equity interest in BJD and report the results of the joint venture as an equity investment in unconsolidated affiliates.

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.

2023

Brazil Tax Ruling

In the third quarter of 2023, the Brazil Superior Court of Justice published a favorable tax ruling regarding taxability of local incentives, which allowed us to record a $243 reduction in the provision for income taxes and $47 of interest income.

Financial Services Financing Incentives Correction

In the second quarter of 2023, we corrected the accounting treatment for financing incentives offered to John Deere dealers, which impacted the timing of expense recognition and the presentation of incentive costs in the consolidated financial statements. The cumulative effect of this correction, $173 pretax ($135 after-tax), was recorded in the second quarter of 2023 in “Selling, administrative and general expenses” by financial services. Prior period results were not restated, as the adjustment was considered immaterial to our financial statements.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Policies)

Jul. 28, 2024
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS  
Fiscal Period, Policy

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 year 2024 and 2023 were July 28, 2024 and July 30, 2023, respectively. Both third quarters contained 13 weeks, while both year-to-date periods contained 39 weeks. 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.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements, Policy

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.

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy

We closely monitor all Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and other authoritative guidance.

Accounting Pronouncements Adopted

We adopted the following standards in 2024, none of which had a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

2022-04 — Liabilities – Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50): Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations

2022-02 — Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures

2022-01 — Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Fair Value Hedging – Portfolio Layer Method

2021-08 — Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers

Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted

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 income taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The effective date of the ASU is 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.

2023-07 — Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures

2023-06 — Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative

2023-05 — Business Combinations – Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement

2022-03 — Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions

Financing Receivables - Allowance for Credit Losses, Policy

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. Any expected recovery is presented as non-performing.
Securitization of Financing Receivables, Policy

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 a secured borrowing. The receivables and borrowings remain on our balance sheet and are separately reported as “Financing receivables securitized – net” and “Short-term securitization borrowings,” respectively.
