MOLINE, Illinois (May 21, 2026) — Deere & Company reported net income of $1.773 billion for the second quarter ended May 3, 2026, or $6.55 per share, compared with net income of $1.804 billion, or $6.64 per share, for the quarter ended April 27, 2025. For the first six months of the year, net income attributable to Deere & Company was $2.429 billion, or $8.97 per share, compared with $2.673 billion, or $9.82 per share, for the same period last year.

Worldwide net sales and revenues increased 5 percent, to $13.369 billion, for the second quarter of 2026 and rose 8 percent, to $22.981 billion, for six months. Net sales were $11.778 billion for the quarter and $19.779 billion for six months, compared with $11.171 billion and $17.980 billion last year, respectively.

“Our performance in the current market environment demonstrates the strength of our diversified portfolio. This is particularly reflected in the strong outcomes achieved by our Small Ag and Construction & Forestry divisions during this year,” stated John May, chairman and CEO of John Deere. “As we address ongoing challenges within global agricultural markets, our comprehensive portfolio continues to drive market share expansion and support our targets for sustained growth.”

Company Outlook & Summary

Net income attributable to Deere & Company for fiscal 2026 is forecasted to be in a range of $4.5 billion to $5.0 billion.

“While our customers face ongoing challenges, John Deere remains firmly committed to supporting their success through disciplined operations and resilience,” said May. “By continuing to invest in innovation through the cycle and leveraging the strength of our dealer network, we are well positioned to deliver increasing value for customers and shareholders as market conditions improve.”

(1) Acquisition
--- ---

In February 2026, the company acquired Tenna LLC (Tenna), a U.S. construction technology company that offers mixed-fleet equipment operations and asset tracking solutions. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $439 million. Tenna was assigned to the CF segment. Most of the purchase price for this acquisition was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets.

(2) Special Items

Discrete Tax Items

In the first quarter of 2025, the company recorded favorable net discrete tax items primarily due to tax benefits of $110 million related to the realization of foreign net operating losses from the consolidation of certain subsidiaries and $53 million from an adjustment to an uncertain tax position of a foreign subsidiary.

Banco John Deere S.A.

In 2024, the company entered into an agreement with a Brazilian bank, Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bradesco), for Bradesco to invest and become a 50% owner of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Banco John Deere S.A. (BJD). BJD finances retail and wholesale loans for agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. The transaction is intended to reduce the company’s incremental risk as it continues to grow in the Brazilian market.

The BJD business was reclassified as held for sale in 2024. In January 2025, the valuation allowance on assets held for sale decreased, resulting in a pretax and after-tax gain (reversal of previous losses) of $32 million recorded in “Selling, administrative and general expenses” in the six months ended April 27, 2025. The valuation allowance changes are presented in “Impairments and other adjustments” in the statements of consolidated cash flows.

The company deconsolidated BJD upon completion of the transaction in February 2025. The company accounts for its investment in BJD using the equity method of accounting and results of its operations are reported in “Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates” within the Financial Services segment. The company reports investments in unconsolidated affiliates and receivables from unconsolidated affiliates in “Other assets” and “Other receivables,” respectively.

(3) The consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of all the company’s subsidiaries. The supplemental consolidating data in Note 4 to the financial statements is presented for informational purposes. Equipment operations represent the enterprise without Financial Services. Equipment operations include the company’s Production & Precision Agriculture operations, Small Agriculture & Turf operations, Construction & 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.

Examples of forward-looking<br>statements include, among others, comments and information concerning the Company’s plans and projections for the future, the agricultural industry, cash priorities, estimates and<br>assumptions with respect to economic, political, supply chain, energy, technological and weather matters, market acceptance of the Company’s products, benefits of acquisitions and<br>divestitures as well as integration of businesses, anticipated transaction costs.<br>Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management’s current beliefs, expectations and<br>assumptions regarding the future of the Company’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because<br>forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, changes in circumstances, and other factors that are difficult to predict and many of which<br>are outside of the Company’s control causing and adequately managing inventory; availability and price of raw materials, components, and whole goods; delays or disruptions in our actual<br>results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Among these factors are risks related to the agricultural business cycle, which can be unpredictable<br>and is affected by a variety of factors, such as farm income; macroeconomic conditions, including unemployment, inflation, interest rate volatility and energy price increases resulting from<br>geopolitical conflicts; the uncertainty of government policies and actions with respect to the global trade environment including increased and contested tariffs; exposure to risks and<br>events beyond our control in countries in which we operate, such as economic and political instability, worldwide demand for food and different forms of renewable energy impacting the<br>price of farm commodities; rationalization, restructuring, relocation, expansion and/or reconfiguration of manufacturing and warehouse facilities; accurately forecasting customer demand<br>for products and services; delays or disruptions in our supply chain, including those arising from geopolitical conflicts; changes in climate patterns, unfavorable weather events, and natural<br>disasters; higher interest rates and currency fluctuations; negative economic conditions in the financial industry which could impact our financial services segment; the ability to execute<br>business strategies, including our Smart Industrial Operating Model and Leap Ambitions ; the complexity of our products and the risks associated with not realizing the anticipated benefits<br>of our investments, such as customer acceptance and the pace of adopting our products and technologies; dealer practices and their ability to manage new and used inventory, distribute<br>our products, and provide support and service for precision technology solutions; the ability to realize anticipated benefits of acquisitions and joint ventures, including challenges with<br>successful integration; negative claims or publicity that damage our reputation or brand; the ability to attract, develop, engage, and retain qualified employees; the impact of workforce<br>reductions on company culture, employee retention and morale, and institutional knowledge; labor relations and contracts, including work stoppages and other disruptions; security<br>breaches, cybersecurity attacks, technology failures, and other disruptions to our information technology infrastructure and products; leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning<br>within our business processes; changes to existing laws and regulations, including the implementation of new, more stringent laws, as well as compliance with these laws and regulations;<br>investigations, claims, lawsuits, or other legal proceedings. For a discussion of risks and uncertainties impacting our business, see “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual<br>Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors should refer to and consider the information on risks and<br>uncertainties in addition to the information presented here.<br>All forward-looking statements made in this earnings call and accompanying materials are based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date on which it is<br>made. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.

Non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not in isolation from, or as a<br>substitute for the Company’s GAAP measures of performance and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully<br>evaluated.<br>20
