ORGANIZATION AND CONSOLIDATION  
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 (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 second quarter ends for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 were April 27, 2025 and April 28, 2024, respectively. Both quarters contained 13 weeks, while both year-to-date periods contained 26 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 April 27, 2025 follows:

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.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS  
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 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 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 $2,089, $1,923, and $1,911 at April 27, 2025, October 27, 2024, and April 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 $176 and $128 during the three months and $373 and $358 during the six months ended April 27, 2025 and April 28, 2024, respectively.

The amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year was $1,774 at April 27, 2025. The estimated revenue to be recognized by fiscal year follows: remainder of 2025 – $289, 2026 – $478, 2027 – $383, 2028 – $262, 2029 – $162, 2030 – $116, and later years – $84. 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.

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 increased in the second quarter and first six 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.

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 were as follows:

The financial effects of payment deferrals with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty resulted in a weighted average payment deferral of 8 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 April 27, 2025 and April 28, 2024 were as follows:

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.

The costs for extended warranty programs are recognized as incurred.

In certain international markets, we provide guarantees to banks for the retail financing of John Deere equipment. As of April 27, 2025, the notional value of these guarantees was $123. We may repossess the equipment collateralizing the receivables. At April 27, 2025, the accrued losses under these agreements were not material. We also had guarantees to a VIE (see Note 1) totaling $156 as of April 27, 2025.

We also had other miscellaneous contingent liabilities and guarantees totaling approximately $125 at April 27, 2025. The accrued liability for these contingencies was $25 at April 27, 2025.

At April 27, 2025, we had commitments of approximately $505 for the construction and acquisition of property and equipment. Also, at April 27, 2025, we had restricted assets of $250, classified as “Other assets.”

We are subject to various unresolved legal actions. The accrued losses on these matters were not material at April 27, 2025. We believe the reasonably possible range of losses 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.

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 gain on “Assets held for sale” recorded in the first quarter of 2025 represents a reversal of prior period valuation allowance loss, not in excess of cumulative valuation allowance recorded on “Assets held for sale.”

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.

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.

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 20).

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 April 27, 2025, October 27, 2024, and April 28, 2024, was $507, $562, and $967, respectively. In accordance with the limits established in these agreements, we posted $221, $245, and $562 of cash collateral at April 27, 2025, October 27, 2024, and April 28, 2024, respectively. In addition, we paid $8 of collateral that was outstanding at April 27, 2025, October 27, 2024, and April 28, 2024 to participate in an international futures market to hedge currency exposure, not included in the table below.

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.

The major classes of the total assets and liabilities of BJD at the time of deconsolidation were as follows:

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.

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 second quarter ends for fiscal years 2025 and 2024 were April 27, 2025 and April 28, 2024, respectively. Both quarters contained 13 weeks, while both year-to-date periods contained 26 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.

Consolidation, Variable Interest Entity, Policy

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.

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. 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 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

Credit Quality, 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.

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.

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.

Inventory Valuation, Policy A majority of inventories owned by us are valued at cost on the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) basis.
Derivative Financial Instruments, Policy

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.”
