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 first quarter ends for fiscal year 2025 and 2024 were January 26, 2025 and January 28, 2024, respectively. Both periods contained 13 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.
(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 $2,027, $1,923, and $1,747 at January 26, 2025, October 27, 2024, and January 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 $197 and $230 during the three months ended January 26, 2025 and January 28, 2024, respectively.
The amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year was $1,734 at January 26, 2025. The estimated revenue to be recognized by fiscal year follows: remainder of 2025 – $395, 2026 – $444, 2027 – $352, 2028 – $235, 2029 – $144, 2030 – $102, and later years – $62. 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 on retail notes and financing lease receivables increased in the first quarter of 2025, primarily due to higher expected losses as a result of elevated delinquencies and market conditions.
During 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 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 during the first quarter ended January 26, 2025 and January 28, 2024 were $28 and $17, respectively. These modifications represented 0.06% and 0.03% of our financing receivable portfolio for the same periods, respectively.
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 12 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 4 months and a weighted average term extension of 6 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 January 26, 2025 and January 28, 2024 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | January 26 | January 28 | ||||
| | | 2025 | | 2024* | | ||
| Current | $ | 74 | | $ | 16 | | |

| 60-89 days past due | | | 4 | | | | |
| 90+ days past due | | | 3 | | | | |
| Non-performing | | | 13 | | | 1 | |
| Total | $ | 101 | | $ | 17 | |
- In accordance with the adoption date of the accounting modification guidance, this period includes receivables modified during the prior three months.
Defaults and subsequent write-offs of financing receivables modified in the prior twelve months were not significant during the three months ended January 26, 2025 and January 28, 2024. In addition, at January 26, 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 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:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

(10) Inventories
A majority of inventories owned by us are valued at cost on the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) basis. If all inventories valued on a LIFO basis had been valued on a “first-in, first-out” (FIFO) basis, the estimated inventories by major classification would have been as follows:

(15) Leases – Lessor
We lease equipment manufactured or sold by us through John Deere Financial. Sales-type and direct financing leases are reported in “Financing receivables – net.” Operating leases are reported in “Equipment on operating leases – net.”

(16) Commitments and Contingencies
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 reconciliation of the changes in the warranty liability follows:
| | | | | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | Three Months Ended | | ||||
| | | January 26 | | January 28 | | ||
| | | 2025 | | 2024 | | ||

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 January 26, 2025, the notional value of these guarantees was $128. We may repossess the equipment collateralizing the receivables. At January 26, 2025, the accrued losses under these guarantees were not material.
We also had other miscellaneous contingent liabilities totaling approximately $115 at January 26, 2025. The accrued liability for these contingencies was $25 at January 26, 2025.
At January 26, 2025, we had commitments of approximately $490 for the construction and acquisition of property and equipment. Also at January 26, 2025, we had restricted assets of $259, classified as “Other assets.”
We are subject to various unresolved legal actions. The accrued losses on these matters were not material at January 26, 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), employment, patent, trademark, and antitrust matters (including class action litigation).
(17) Fair Value Measurements
The fair values of financial instruments that do not approximate the carrying values were as follows. Long-term borrowings exclude finance lease liabilities.

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.
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.

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. The deferred consideration balance is reduced as purchases are made and valued on a discounted cash flow approach using market rates.
Other assets (Investment 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).
(18) Derivative Instruments
Fair values of our derivative instruments and the associated notional amounts were as follows. Assets are recorded in “Other assets,” while liabilities are recorded in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses.”

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 January 26, 2025, October 27, 2024, and January 28, 2024 was $707, $562, and $691, respectively. In accordance with the limits established in these agreements, we posted $436, $245, and $368 of cash collateral at January 26, 2025, October 27, 2024, and January 28, 2024, respectively.

(20) Special Items
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 2024, we entered into a joint venture agreement with a Brazilian bank, Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bradesco), for Bradesco to invest and become 50% owner of our wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Banco John Deere S.A. (BJD). BJD is included in our financial services segment and finances retail and wholesale loans for agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. The transaction is intended to reduce our incremental risk as we continue to grow in the Brazilian market. In February 2025, Bradesco contributed capital equal to our equity investment in BJD. We retained a 50% equity interest in BJD and will report the results of the joint venture as an equity investment in unconsolidated affiliates.
The BJD business was reclassified as held for sale in 2024. At January 26, 2025, the valuation allowance on “Assets held for sale” decreased to $65, resulting in a pretax and after-tax gain (reversal of previous losses) of $32 recorded in “Selling, administrative and general expenses” in the three months ended January 26, 2025 and presented in “Impairments and other adjustments” in the statements of consolidated cash flows.
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:
| | | | | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | | January 26, 2025 | | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | | $ | 115 | |
| Trade accounts and notes receivable – net | | | 105 | |
| Financing receivables – net | | | 2,719 | |
| Deferred income taxes | | | 34 | |
| Other miscellaneous assets* | | | 21 | |
| Valuation allowance | | | (65) | |
| Assets held for sale | | $ | 2,929 | |
| | | | | |
| Short-term borrowings | | $ | 487 | |
| Accounts payable and accrued expenses | | | 124 | |
| Long-term borrowings | | | 1,218 | |
| Retirement benefits and other liabilities | | | 1 | |
| Liabilities held for sale | | $ | 1,830 | |
| | | | | |
| Total intercompany payables | | $ | 627 | |
- Includes $1 restricted cash balance.
(21) Subsequent Events
In February 2025, we completed the transaction with Bradesco (see Note 20) for the sale of 50% ownership in BJD. Bradesco contributed capital equal to our equity investment in BJD. We retained a 50% equity interest in BJD and will report the results of the joint venture as an equity investment in unconsolidated affiliates.
On February 26, 2025, a quarterly dividend of $1.62 per share was declared at the Board of Directors meeting, payable on May 8, 2025, to stockholders of record on March 31, 2025.
