For the first six months of the year, net income attributable to Deere & Company was $2.673 billion, or $9.82 per share, compared with $4.121 billion, or $14.74 per share, for the same period last year.

Worldwide net sales and revenues decreased 16 percent, to $12.763 billion, for the second quarter of 2025 and decreased 22 percent, to $21.272 billion, for six months. Net sales were $11.171 billion for the quarter and $17.980 billion for six months, compared with $13.610 billion and $24.097 billion last year, respectively.

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 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 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 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.

BJD 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 million 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, related to a decrease in valuation allowance. No significant gain or loss was recognized upon completion of the transaction. The equity interest in BJD was valued at $362 million at the deconsolidation date.

(2)

The consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of all the company’s subsidiaries. The supplemental consolidating data in Note 3 to the financial statements is presented for informational purposes. Equipment operations represent the enterprise without financial services. Equipment operations include the company’s production and precision agriculture operations, small agriculture and turf operations, and 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.

2 John Deere	2Q 2025 Earnings Call	May 15, 2025<br>Forward-Looking Statements<br>This earnings call and accompanying materials may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private<br>Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “forecast,” “guidance,” “project,” “target,” “outlook,”<br>“prospects,” “expect,” “estimate,” “will,” “goal,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “predict,” “believe,” “likely,” “future,” “could,” “may,” or other similar words or<br>phrases, including the negative variations of such words or phrases. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, comments and<br>information concerning the Company’s plans and projections for the future, including estimates and assumptions with respect to economic, political,<br>technological, weather, market acceptance, acquisitions and divestitures of businesses, anticipated transaction costs, the integration of new businesses,<br>anticipated benefits of acquisitions, and other factors that impact the Company’s businesses and customers.<br>Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management’s current beliefs,<br>expectations and assumptions regarding the future of the Company’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the<br>economy, and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, changes in<br>circumstances, and other factors that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of the Company’s control causing actual results to differ materially<br>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 affected by agriculture fundamentals, such as prices for commodities; the political and economic geographies in which we operate; international conflicts;<br>adverse macroeconomic conditions impacting consumer practices, including demand for John Deere products; housing starts and supply, non-residential<br>construction, and infrastructure investment; higher interest rates; higher provision for credit losses and write-offs; government policies relating to trade (e.g.,<br>increased and proposed tariffs announced by the U.S. government and potential retaliatory trade regulations); competitive markets; production schedules; the<br>ability to execute business strategies; events that damage the company’s reputation or brand (including legal proceedings brought against the company);<br>dealer practices and their ability to manage inventory (including used inventory and rental fleets) and distribute John Deere products; changes in U.S. and<br>international laws and regulations; and changes in climate. For a discussion of some of these risks and uncertainties see “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our most<br>recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors should refer to and<br>consider the information on risks and 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<br>of the date on which it is made. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company, except as required by law, undertakes no<br>obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new developments or otherwise.<br>This earnings call and accompanying materials may contain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and<br>not in isolation from, or as a substitute for the Company’s GAAP measures of performance and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and<br>reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.<br>21
