(1) Organization and Consolidation

John Deere Capital Corporation (Capital Corporation) and its subsidiaries are collectively called the Company. John Deere Financial Services, Inc. (JDFS), a wholly-owned finance holding subsidiary of Deere & Company, owns all of the outstanding common stock of Capital Corporation. The Company provides and administers financing for retail purchases of new equipment manufactured by Deere & Company’s production and precision agriculture operations, small agriculture and turf operations, and construction and forestry operations and used equipment taken in trade for this equipment. The Company generally purchases retail installment sales and loan contracts (retail notes) from Deere & Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively called John Deere). John Deere generally acquires these retail notes through John Deere retail dealers. The Company also purchases and finances a limited amount of non-Deere retail notes. The Company also finances and services revolving charge accounts, in most cases acquired from and offered through merchants in the agriculture and turf and construction and forestry markets (revolving charge accounts). The Company also provides wholesale financing for inventories of John Deere agriculture and turf and construction and forestry equipment for dealers of those products (wholesale receivables). In addition, the Company leases John Deere equipment and a limited amount of non-Deere equipment to retail customers (financing and operating leases). The Company also offers credit enhanced international export financing to select customers and dealers, which generally involves John Deere products. Retail notes, revolving charge accounts, wholesale receivables, and financing leases are collectively called “Receivables.” Receivables and equipment on operating leases are collectively called “Receivables and Leases.” The Company generally secures its Receivables, other than certain revolving charge accounts, by retaining as collateral a security interest in the goods associated with those Receivables or with the use of other collateral.

Beginning in fiscal year 2021, John Deere implemented a new strategy, operating model, and reporting structure. With this change, John Deere’s agriculture and turf operations were divided into two new segments: production and precision agriculture and small agriculture and turf. There were no changes to John Deere’s construction and forestry or financial services segments. Receivables and Leases managed by the Company continue to be evaluated by market (agriculture and turf and construction and forestry). References to agriculture and turf include both production and precision agriculture and small agriculture and turf.

The Company has prepared its interim consolidated financial statements, 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 adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Management believes that 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 that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in the Company’s latest annual report on Form 10-K. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. The ~~identification and rapid spread of~~ COVID-19 (COVID) pandemic has ~~resulted in governments and other authorities implementing numerous measures designed to contain the virus. These and other actions have~~ resulted in uncertainties in the Company’s business, which may result in actual ~~results~~outcomes differing from those estimates. Examples of estimates used in the financial statements affected by this uncertainty include incurred credit losses, operating lease residual values and return rates, the forecasted annual effective income tax rate, and fair value measurements.

The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The ~~second~~first quarter ends for fiscal year 2021 and 2020 were January 31, 2021 and ~~2019 were May 3,~~February 2, 2020, ~~and April 28, 2019,~~ respectively. Both periods contained 13 weeks.

(2) New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In the first quarter of ~~2020,~~2021, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. ~~2016-02, Leases (Topic 842),~~2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which ~~supersedes~~establishes Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) ~~840, Leases.~~326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This ASU was adopted using a modified-retrospective approach. The ~~ASU’s primary change is the requirement for lessee entities to recognize a lease liability for payments and a right of use asset during the term of operating lease arrangements. The~~ ASU, did not significantly change the lessee’s recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Lessors’ accounting under the ASC is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. The ASU adds new disclosures about the Company’s leasing activities. The Company elected the optional practical expedients to not reassess whether existing contracts contain leases, not reassess lease classification, and not reassess initial direct costs for existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient. In addition, the Company elected to combine lease and non-lease components for all asset classes and to not recognize a right of use asset or lease liability for arrangements that qualify as short-term leases. Upon adoption of the ASU, the Company recorded right of use assets and lease liabilities for operating leases of $5.1 million and $5.1 million, respectively. The right of use assets are recorded in other assets and the lease liabilities are recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet. Since the right of use assets and lease liabilities are not significant, no further lessee disclosures have been included in the condensed notes to the interim consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 for additional disclosuresalong with related ~~to lessor arrangements. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or cash flows.~~

In the first quarter of 2020, the Company adopted the clarifications to ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, included in ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, which establishes ASC 848, Reference Rate Reform. Regulators in several countries are requiring initiatives to identify alternative reference rates to the London Interbank Offered Rates and other interbank rates. This regulatory requirement will likely result in contract revisions that will transition to alternative reference rates. This ASU provides optional, temporary guidance, simplifications, and exceptions for applying generally accepted accounting principles to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions resulting from the transition. The guidance in this ASU is elective and effective beginning in the second quarter of 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company is evaluating the contracts that could be affected by an alternative reference rate and assessing the potential effects of the ASU on the consolidated financial statements.

~~New Accounting Standards to be Adopted~~

~~In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which establishes ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU revises~~amendments, revised the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost from an incurred loss to an expected loss methodology. The ASU affects receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. ~~Additional disclosures about significant estimates~~

The Company holds deposits from dealers (dealer deposits), which are recorded in deposits withheld from dealers and merchants, to absorb certain credit ~~quality are also required. The effective date will be~~losses. Prior to adopting this ASU, the ~~first quarter~~allowance for credit losses was estimated on probable credit losses incurred after consideration of ~~fiscal year 2021.~~recoveries from dealer deposits. The ASU ~~will be adopted using~~considers dealer deposits and certain credit insurance contracts as freestanding credit enhancements. As a ~~modified-retrospective approach. The Company is developing models to estimate expected~~result, after adoption, credit losses ~~assessing appropriate assumptions, designing new procedures~~recovered from dealer deposits and ~~controls,~~certain credit insurance contracts are presented in other income and ~~evaluating~~no longer as part of the ~~potential~~allowance for credit losses or the provision for credit losses. The ASU also modified the treatment of the estimated write-off on delinquent receivables by no longer including the estimated benefit of charges to the dealer deposits in the write-off amount (see Note 4). This change increases the estimated write-offs on delinquent financing receivables with the benefit of credit losses recovered from dealer deposits presented in other income. This benefit, in both situations, is recorded when the dealer deposits are charged and no longer based on estimated recoveries.

The effects of adopting the ASU on the consolidated ~~financial statements.~~balance sheet were as follows (in millions of dollars):

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which amends ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. This ASU requires customers in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to evaluate the implementation costs of the hosting arrangement using the guidance to develop internal-use software. The project development stage determines the implementation costs

~~that are capitalized or expensed. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the service arrangement and are presented in the same income statement line item~~Note 4 contains additional disclosures as well as the ~~service contract costs.

The Company ~~will adopt~~also adopted the ~~ASU on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.~~

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The effective dates for the separate portionsfollowing standards in 2021, none of the ASU and the expected effect on the consolidated financial statements are as follows for the portions that have not yet been adopted: (1) clarifications to ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, which is under evaluation, and (2) clarifications to ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, which will not havehad a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements:

New Accounting Standards to be Adopted

The Company will adopt the ~~FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes,~~following standards in future periods, none of which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes. This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by modifying the treatment of intraperiod tax allocation in certain circumstances, eliminating an exception to recognizing deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences for foreign equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries when ownership or control changes, and modifying interim period tax calculations when a loss is forecast. In addition, the ASU also provides guidance for the accounting of a franchise tax that is partially based on income, requires that enacted changes in tax laws or rates be included in the annual effective rate determination in the period that includes the enactment date, and clarifies the tax accounting of a step up in tax basis of goodwill. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with early adoption permitted. The guidance related to the foreign equity method investments, foreign subsidiaries, and franchise taxes will be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach. The remaining provisions will be adopted prospectively. The adoption is notare expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial ~~statements.~~statements:

~~(4) Receivables~~

Past due balances of Receivables still accruing finance income represent the total balance held (principal plus accrued interest) with any payment amounts 30 days or more past the contractual payment due date.

The Company monitors the credit quality of Receivables based on delinquency status. Non-performing Receivables represent loans for which the Company has ceased accruing finance income. Generally, when retail notes, ~~revolving charge accounts, and~~ ~~finance lease~~ accounts are 90 days delinquent, accrual of finance income and lease revenue is suspended. Generally, when a wholesale receivable becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company determines whether the accrual of finance income on interest-bearing wholesale receivables should be suspended. Finance income for non-performing Receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrual of finance income is generally resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured.

~~Receivable balances are written off to the allowance for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered uncollectible. Generally, when retail notes and~~ ~~finance lease~~ accounts are 120 days delinquent, the collateral is repossessed or the account is designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount, after charging the dealer’s withholding account, if any, is written off to the allowance for credit losses. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and written off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days. Generally, when a wholesale account becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company determines whether the collateral should be repossessed or the account designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount is written off to the allowance for credit losses.

Due to the significant, negative effects of COVID, the Company provided short-term relief to dealers and retail customers during the second quarter of 2020. The relief was provided in regional programs and on a case-by-case basis with customers that were ~~generally current in their payment obligations. For retail receivable customers, which include retail notes,~~ ~~financing leases, and~~ ~~revolving charge accounts~~, the relief generally included payment deferrals of three months or less. The retail receivables granted relief, which were primarily construction accounts, represented approximately 4 percent of the retail receivables balance at May 3, 2020. The relief provided to dealers generally included payment deferrals of three months or less and short-term interest rate reductions in certain markets. The wholesale receivables granted relief, which primarily related to agriculture and turf dealers, represented approximately 5 percent of the wholesale receivables balance at May 3, 2020.

~~An age analysis of past due Receivables that are still accruing interest and non-performing Receivables was~~ as follows (in millions of dollars):

The negative economic effects related to COVID and other macroeconomic issues have significantly affected certain retail borrowers, particularly of construction equipment. As a result, the allowance for credit losses increased $36.7 million in the second quarter of 2020, reflecting higher estimated credit losses inherent in the Receivable portfolio.

* RemainderThe Company monitors the credit quality of Receivables based on delinquency status. Past due balances of Receivables still accruing finance income represent the total balance held (principal plus accrued interest) with any payment amounts 30 days or more past the contractual payment due date. Non-performing Receivables represent loans for which the Company has ceased accruing finance income. Generally, when retail notes, revolving charge accounts, and financing lease accounts are 90 days delinquent, accrual of finance income and lease revenue is ~~collectively evaluated.~~suspended, and accrued finance income previously recognized is reversed. Generally, when a wholesale receivable becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company determines whether the accrual of finance income on interest-bearing wholesale receivables should be suspended. Finance income for non-performing Receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrual of finance income is generally resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured.

~~Receivables~~Receivable balances are written off to the allowance for credit losses when, in the judgment of management, they are considered ~~impaired~~uncollectible. Generally, when itretail notes and financing lease accounts are 120 days delinquent, the collateral is ~~probable~~repossessed or the account is designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount from the customer is written off to the allowance for credit losses. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and written off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days. Generally, when a wholesale account becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company ~~will~~determines whether the collateral should be ~~unable to collect all amounts due according~~repossessed or the account designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount is written off to the ~~contractual terms.~~allowance for credit losses.

Due to the economic effects of COVID, the Company provided short-term relief to dealers and retail customers during 2020, and to a much lesser extent in 2021. The relief was provided in regional programs and on a case-by-case basis with customers that were generally current in their payment obligations. Receivables ~~reviewed for impairment generally include those that~~granted relief represented approximately 4 percent of the Receivables balance at January 31, 2021. The majority of Receivables granted short-term relief during 2020 are beyond the deferral period and have either ~~past due,~~resumed making payments or ~~have provided bankruptcy notification, or require significant collection efforts. Receivables that~~ are ~~impaired are generally classified~~reported as ~~non-performing.~~delinquent based on the modified payment schedule.

Allowance for Credit Losses

The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the credit losses expected over the life of the Company’s Receivable portfolio. The Company measures expected credit losses on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Risk characteristics considered by the Company include product category, market, geography, credit risk, and remaining duration. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics with other receivables in the portfolio are evaluated on an individual basis.

The Company utilizes loss forecast models, which are selected based on the size and credit risk of the underlying pool of receivables, to estimate expected credit losses. Transition matrix models are used for large and complex Customer Receivable pools, while weighted average remaining maturity (WARM) models are used for smaller and less complex Customer Receivable pools. Transition matrix models, which are used for the majority of the Customer Receivables, estimate credit losses using historical delinquency and default information to assign probabilities that a loan will pay as contractually scheduled or become delinquent and advance through the various delinquency stages. The model simulates the runoff of the portfolio, month-by-month, over the life of the loans until the balances are fully repaid or default, using roll rates applied to the outstanding portfolio. The roll rates are applied based on the delinquency status of the customer accounts and are further segmented based on the credit risk and remaining duration of the underlying receivables. Estimated recovery rates are applied to the balance at default to calculate the expected credit losses. The modeled expected credit losses are adjusted based on reasonable and supportable forecasts, which may include economic indicators such as commodity prices, industry equipment sales, unemployment rates, and housing starts. The WARM models apply historical average annual loss rates, adjusted for current and forecasted economic conditions, to the projected portfolio runoff. Expected credit losses on wholesale receivables are based on historical loss rates, adjusted for current economic conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Management reviews each model’s output quarterly, and qualitative adjustments are incorporated as necessary.

Recoveries from freestanding credit enhancements, such as dealer deposits, are not included in the estimate of expected credit losses. Recoveries from dealer deposits are recognized in other income on the statement of consolidated income when the dealer’s withholding account is charged. During the three months ended January 31, 2021, $.9 million was recorded in other income related to recoveries from credit enhancements. Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, the allowance for credit losses was estimated on probable credit losses incurred after consideration of expected recoveries from credit enhancements.

An analysis of the allowance for credit losses and investment in Receivables during 2021 was as follows (in millions of dollars):

*See Note 2 regarding new accounting guidance related to credit losses.

**Excludes provision for credit losses on unfunded commitments of $2.4 million, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet.

The allowance for credit losses on Receivables increased $20.4 million in the first quarter of 2021, primarily related to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13. Following the adoption of the new credit loss standard, the allowance for credit losses on retail notes and financing leases increased slightly, while the allowance on revolving charge accounts decreased, reflecting better than expected payment performance on certain agriculture revolving accounts in the U.S due to improved conditions in the agriculture market.

Troubled Debt Restructurings

A troubled debt restructuring is generally the modification of debt in which a creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a debtor that is experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications may include a reduction of the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity dates, a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or a reduction of accrued interest. During the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020,~~2021, the

Company identified ~~192~~95 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, as troubled debt restructurings with aggregate balances of ~~$7.3~~$5.5 million pre-modification and ~~$7.1~~$5.4 million post-modification. During the first three months of 2020, there were 73 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, with aggregate balances of $2.2 million pre-modification and $2.0 million post-modification. The short-term relief related to COVID mentioned ~~earlier~~on page 11 did not meet the definition of a troubled debt restructuring. ~~During the first six months of 2019, there were 135 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, with aggregate balances of $4.3 million pre-modification and $4.0 million post-modification.~~ During these same periods, there were 0 significant troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted and were written off. At ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, the Company had 0 commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose accounts were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

(5) Securitization of Receivables

The Company, as a part of its overall funding strategy, periodically transfers certain Receivables (retail notes) into variable interest entities (VIEs) that are special purpose entities (SPEs), or non-VIE banking operations, as part of its asset-backed securities programs (securitizations). The structure of these transactions is such that the transfer of the retail notes ~~did~~does not meet the accounting criteria for sales of receivables, and is, therefore, accounted for as a secured borrowing. SPEs utilized in securitizations of retail notes differ from other entities included in the Company’s consolidated statements because the assets they hold are legally isolated. Use of the assets held by the SPEs or the non-VIEs is restricted by terms of the documents governing the securitization transactions.

In these securitizations, the retail notes are transferred to certain SPEs or to non-VIE banking operations, which in turn issue debt to investors. The debt securities issued to the ~~third party~~third-party investors result in secured borrowings, which are recorded as “Securitization borrowings” on the consolidated balance sheet. The securitized retail notes are recorded as “Retail notes securitized” on the consolidated balance sheet. The total restricted assets on the consolidated balance sheet related to these securitizations include the retail notes securitized less an allowance for credit losses, and other assets primarily representing restricted cash. Restricted cash results from contractual requirements in securitized borrowing arrangements and serves as a credit enhancement. The restricted cash is used to satisfy payment deficiencies, if any, in the required payments on secured borrowings. The balance of restricted cash is contractually stipulated and is either a fixed amount as determined by the initial balance of the retail notes securitized or a fixed percentage of the outstanding balance of the retail notes securitized. The restriction is removed either after all secured borrowing payments are made or proportionally as these receivables are collected and borrowing obligations reduced. For those securitizations in which retail notes are transferred into SPEs, the SPEs supporting the secured borrowings are consolidated unless the Company does not have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPEs’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. No additional support to these SPEs beyond what was previously contractually required has been provided during the reporting periods.

In certain securitizations, the Company consolidates the SPEs since it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPEs’ economic performance through its role as servicer of all the Receivables held by the SPEs and the obligation through variable interests in the SPEs to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. The restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of the consolidated SPEs totaled ~~$3,017.3~~$2,424.7 million, ~~$2,894.4~~$2,897.5 million, and ~~$2,770.9~~$2,490.1 million at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019,~~February 2, 2020, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) of these SPEs totaled ~~$2,976.9~~$2,403.4 million, ~~$2,847.2~~$2,856.2 million, and ~~$2,693.4~~$2,442.1 million at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019,~~February 2, 2020, respectively. The credit holders of these SPEs do not have legal recourse to the Company’s general credit.

In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes to non-VIE banking operations, which are not consolidated since the Company does not have a controlling interest in the entities. The Company’s carrying values and interests related to the securitizations with the unconsolidated non-VIEs were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of ~~$505.3~~$463.0 million, ~~$447.0~~$549.7 million, and $596.6 million at January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, and February 2, 2020, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) were $453.5 million, $528.1 million, and $567.3 million at January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, and February 2, 2020, respectively.

$611.7 million at May 3, 2020, November 3, 2019, and April 28, 2019, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) were $477.8 million, $420.5 million, and $572.4 million at May 3, 2020, November 3, 2019, and April 28, 2019, respectively.

In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes into bank-sponsored, multi-seller, commercial paper conduits, which are SPEs that are not consolidated. The Company does not service a significant portion of the conduits’ receivables, and therefore, does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the conduits’ economic performance. These conduits provide a funding source to the Company (as well as other transferors into the conduit) as they fund the retail notes through the issuance of commercial paper. The Company’s carrying values and variable interest related to these conduits were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of ~~$1,220.4~~$1,120.0 million, ~~$1,079.2~~$1,327.3 million, and ~~$1,477.2~~$1,440.5 million at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019,~~February 2, 2020, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) related to these conduits were ~~$1,153.9~~$1,097.0 million, ~~$1,015.2~~$1,275.1 million, and ~~$1,382.0~~$1,369.7 million at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019,~~February 2, 2020, respectively.

The Company’s carrying amount of the liabilities to the unconsolidated conduits, compared to the maximum exposure to loss related to these conduits, which would only be incurred in the event of a complete loss on the restricted assets was as follows (in millions of dollars):


	May 3		January 31
	2020		2021
Carrying value of liabilities	$	1,153.9	$	1,097.0
Maximum exposure to loss		1,220.4		1,120.0

The total assets of unconsolidated VIEs related to securitizations were approximately ~~$37.1~~$37 billion at ~~May 3, 2020.~~January 31, 2021.

The components of consolidated restricted assets related to secured borrowings in securitization transactions were as follows (in millions of dollars):

The secured borrowings related to these restricted securitized retail notes are obligations that are payable as the retail notes are liquidated. Repayment of the secured borrowings depends primarily on cash flows generated by the restricted assets. Due to the Company’s short-term credit rating, cash collections from these restricted assets are not required to be placed into a segregated collection account until immediately prior to the time payment is required to the secured creditors. At ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, the maximum remaining term of all restricted securitized retail notes was approximately ~~seven~~six years.

(6) Leases

The Company leases John Deere equipment and a limited amount of non-Deere equipment to retail customers through sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases. Sales-type and direct financing leases are reported in financing leases on the consolidated balance sheet. Operating leases are reported in equipment on operating leases – net on the consolidated balance sheet.

~~Initial lease terms generally range from less than one year to seven years. Leases offered~~Lease revenues earned by the Company ~~may include early termination~~were as follows (in millions of dollars):

*Variable lease revenues primarily relate to separately invoiced property taxes on leased equipment in certain markets and renewal options. At the end of a lease, the lessee generally has the option to purchase the underlying equipment for a fixed price or return it to the dealer. If the equipment is returned to the dealer, the dealer also has the option to purchase the equipment or return it to the Company for remarketing.late fees.

The Company reviews residual value estimates during the lease term and tests the carrying value of its operating lease assets for impairment when events or circumstances necessitate. The depreciation is adjusted on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term if residual value estimates decline. Lease agreements include usage limits and specifications on machine condition, which allow the Company to assess lessees for excess use or damages to the underlying equipment. During the second quarter of 2020, the Company recordedThere were 0 impairment losses on operating leases ~~of $21.0~~recorded during the three months ended January 31, 2021 or February 2, 2020.

The total operating lease residual values at January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, and February 2, 2020 were $3,706.8 million, $3,826.3 million, and $3,892.4 million, respectively. Certain operating leases are subject to residual value guarantees. The total residual value guarantees were $162.5 million, $141.0 million, and $60.7 million at January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, and February 2, 2020, respectively. The increase in residual value guarantees is primarily due to ~~higher expected return rates and lower estimated values of used construction equipment.

(7) Notes Receivable from John Deere

The Company makes loans to affiliated companies. The Company receives interest from John Deere at competitive market interest rates. The lending agreements mature over the next seven years. Interest earned from John Deere was ~~$3.6 million for the second quarter and $8.0~~$3.3 million in the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$4.0 million and $7.6~~$4.4 million for the same ~~periods~~period last year.

The Company had notes receivable from John Deere with the following affiliated companies as follows (in millions of dollars):

(8) Commitments and Contingencies

At ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, John Deere Financial Inc., the John Deere finance subsidiary in Canada, had ~~$1,578.1~~$1,987.8 million of medium-term notes outstanding, and a fair value liability of ~~$67.0~~$56.5 million for derivatives outstanding, prior to considering applicable netting provisions, with a notional amount of ~~$2,837.7~~$3,367.6 million that were guaranteed by Capital Corporation. The weighted average interest rate on the medium-term notes at ~~May 3, 2020~~January 31, 2021 was ~~2.6~~2.4 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately seven years.

Capital Corporation has a variable interest in John Deere Canada Funding Inc. (JDCFI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Deere Financial Inc., which was created as a VIE to issue debt in public markets to fund the operations of affiliated companies in Canada. Capital Corporation has a variable interest in JDCFI because it provides guarantees for all debt issued by JDCFI, however it does not consolidate JDCFI because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact JDCFI’s economic performance. Capital Corporation has 0 carrying value of assets or liabilities related to JDCFI. Its maximum exposure to loss is the amount of the debt issued by JDCFI and guaranteed by Capital Corporation, which was ~~$1,578.1~~$1,130.3 million at ~~May 3, 2020.~~January 31, 2021. The weighted average interest rate on the debt at ~~May 3, 2020~~January 31, 2021 was ~~2.3~~2.5 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately three years. No additional support beyond what was previously contractually required has been provided to JDCFI during the reporting periods.

The Company has commitments to extend credit to customers and John Deere dealers through lines of credit and other pre-approved credit arrangements. The Company applies the same credit policies and approval process for these commitments to extend credit as it does for its Receivables. Collateral is not required for these commitments, but if credit is extended, collateral may be required upon funding. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to John Deere dealers was ~~$7.7~~$9.6 billion at ~~May 3, 2020.~~January 31, 2021. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to customers was ~~$29.0~~$29.2 billion at ~~May 3, 2020.~~January 31, 2021. A significant portion of these commitments is not expected to be fully drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts likely do not represent a future cash requirement. The Company generally has the right to unconditionally cancel, alter, or amend the terms of these commitments at any time. Over 95 percent of the unused commitments to extend credit to customers relate to revolving charge accounts. At ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, Capital Corporation had ~~$222.1~~$227.6 million in unused loan commitments, which are unconditionally cancellable, denominated in rubles to Limited Liability Company John Deere Financial, the John Deere finance subsidiary in Russia.

At ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, the Company had restricted other assets associated with borrowings related to securitizations ~~(See~~(see Note 5). Excluding the securitization programs, the remaining balance of restricted other assets was not material as of ~~May 3, 2020.~~January 31, 2021.

The Company is subject to various unresolved legal actions which arise in the normal course of its business, the most prevalent of which relate to retail credit matters. The Company believes the reasonably possible range of losses for these unresolved legal actions would not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

2318

(9) Income Taxes

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at ~~May 3, 2020~~January 31, 2021 were ~~$28.1~~$27.7 million, compared to ~~$32.5~~$33.3 million at November ~~3, 2019.~~1, 2020. The liability at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019~~February 2, 2020 consisted of approximately ~~$14.1~~$16.6 million, ~~$17.6~~$17.2 million, and ~~$15.4~~$14.6 million, respectively, which would affect the effective tax rate if the tax benefits were recognized. The remaining liability was related to tax positions for which there are offsetting tax receivables, or the uncertainty was only related to timing. The Company expects that any reasonably possible change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months would not be ~~significant.~~material.

(10)Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To determine fair value, the Company uses various methods including market and income approaches. The Company utilizes valuation models and techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs. The models are industry-standard models that consider various assumptions including time values and yield curves as well as other economic measures. These valuation techniques are consistently applied.

Level 1 measurements consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 measurements include significant other observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves; and other market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 measurements include significant unobservable inputs.

The fair values of financial instruments that do not approximate the carrying values were as follows (in millions of dollars):


	May 3, 2020				November 3, 2019				April 28, 2019				January 31, 2021				November 1, 2020				February 2, 2020

* Fair value measurements above were Level 3 for all Receivables and Level 2 for all borrowings.

Fair values of Receivables that were issued long-term were based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by the Company for similar Receivables. 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. Certain long-term borrowings have been swapped to current variable interest rates. The carrying values of these long-term borrowings include adjustments related to fair value hedges.

* ~~See~~ Receivables with specific allowances ~~in Note 4 that~~ were not significant. ~~See Note 6 for impairments on lease residual values.~~

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure certain financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value:

Marketable securities – The international debt securities were valued using quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets.

Derivatives – The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate swaps and caps, foreign currency futures, forwards, and swaps, and cross-currency interest rate 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.

2520

Receivables – Specific reserve impairments are based on the fair value of the collateral, which is measured using a market approach (appraisal values or realizable values). Inputs include a selection of realizable values.

Equipment on operating leases - net – The impairments are based on an income approach (discounted cash flow), using the contractual payments, plus ~~estimates~~an estimate of return rates and equipment sale price at lease maturity. Inputs include ~~historic return rates and~~ realized sales values.

Other assets – The impairments ~~are~~of the matured operating lease inventory were measured at the fair value of ~~the matured operating lease~~that inventory. ~~The valuations were based on a market approach.~~ The inputs include sales of comparable assets.

(11) Derivative Instruments

It is the Company’s policy that derivative transactions are executed only to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business and not for the purpose of creating speculative positions or trading. The Company manages the relationship of the types and amounts of its funding sources to its Receivable and Lease portfolios in an effort to diminish risk due to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, while responding to favorable financing opportunities. The Company also has foreign currency exposures at some of its foreign and domestic operations related to financing in currencies other than the functional currencies.

All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheet. Cash collateral received or paid is not offset against the derivative fair values on the consolidated balance sheet. Each derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge, or remains undesignated. All designated hedges are formally documented as to the relationship with the hedged item as well as the risk-management strategy. Both at inception and on an ongoing basis the hedging instrument is assessed as to its effectiveness. If and when a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge, the underlying hedged transaction is no longer likely to occur, the hedge designation is removed, or the derivative is terminated, hedge accounting is discontinued.

Cash ~~flow hedges~~Flow Hedges

Certain interest rate contracts (swaps) were designated as hedges of future cash flows from borrowings. The total notional amounts of the receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate contracts at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019~~February 2, 2020 were ~~$2,450.0~~$2,350.0 million, ~~$3,150.0~~$1,550.0 million, and ~~$2,800.0~~$2,900.0 million, respectively. Fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions ~~affected~~impact earnings. These amounts offset the effects of interest rate changes on the related borrowings. The cash flows from these contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows.

The amount of loss recorded in OCI at ~~May 3, 2020~~January 31, 2021 that is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months if interest rates remain unchanged is approximately ~~$14.7~~$3.6 million after-tax. ~~There were 0~~NaN gains or losses were reclassified from OCI to earnings based on the probability that the original forecasted transaction would not occur.

Fair ~~value hedges~~Value Hedges

Certain interest rate contracts (swaps) were designated as fair value hedges of borrowings. The total notional amounts of ~~these~~the receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate contracts at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019~~February 2, 2020 were ~~$8,337.8~~$7,592.0 million, ~~$8,336.9~~$6,525.7 million, and ~~$9,093.2~~$8,743.0 million, respectively. The fair value gains or losses on these contracts were generally offset by fair value gains or losses on the hedged items (fixed-rate borrowings) with both items recorded in interest expense.

Derivatives ~~not~~Not designated as ~~hedging instruments~~Hedging Instruments

The Company has certain interest rate contracts (swaps and caps), foreign exchange contracts ~~(forwards~~(futures, forwards, and swaps), and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps), which were not formally designated as hedges. These derivatives were held as economic hedges for underlying interest rate or foreign currency exposures primarily for certain borrowings. The total notional amounts of ~~these~~the interest rate swaps at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019~~February 2, 2020 were ~~$2,191.1~~$2,527.7 million, ~~$2,312.4~~$2,336.6 million, and ~~$1,880.3~~$2,342.2 million, the foreign exchange contracts were ~~$718.6~~$113.0 million, ~~$691.6~~$172.6 million, and ~~$2,261.5~~$1,365.1 million, and the cross-currency interest rate contracts were ~~$87.2~~$144.7 million, ~~$91.1~~$111.5 million, and ~~$89.5~~$100.0 million, respectively. To facilitate borrowings through securitization of retail notes, interest rate caps were sold with notional amounts of $1,743.9 million, ~~$1,611.3~~$1,961.4 million, and ~~$2,034.0~~$1,963.2 million at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019,~~February 2, 2020, respectively. Interest rate caps were also purchased with notional amounts of $1,743.9 million, ~~$1,611.3~~$1,961.4 million, and ~~$2,034.0~~$1,963.2 million at the same dates. The fair value gains or losses from the interest rate contracts were recognized currently in interest expense and the gains or losses from foreign exchange contracts in administrative and operating expenses, generally offsetting over time the expenses on the exposures being hedged. The cash flows from these non-designated contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows.

Counterparty Risk and Collateral

Derivative instruments are subject to significant concentrations of credit risk to the banking sector. The Company manages individual unrelated external counterparty exposure by setting limits that consider the credit rating of the unrelated external counterparty, the credit default swap spread of the counterparty, and other financial commitments and exposures between the Company and the unrelated external counterparty banks. All interest rate derivatives are transacted under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) documentation. Each master agreement executed with an unrelated external counterparty permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default or termination.

The Company’s outstanding derivatives have been transacted with both unrelated external counterparties and with John Deere. For derivatives transacted with John Deere, the Company utilizes a centralized hedging structure in which John Deere enters into a derivative transaction with an unrelated external counterparty and simultaneously enters into a derivative transaction with the Company. Except for collateral provisions, the terms of the transaction between the Company and John Deere are identical to the terms of the transaction between John Deere and its unrelated external counterparty.

Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements executed directly with ~~the~~ unrelated external counterparties contain credit support provisions that may require the Company to post collateral based on the size of the net liability positions and credit ratings. At ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019,~~February 2, 2020, there were 0 aggregate liability positions for derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features. ~~If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered,~~In accordance with these agreements, 0 collateral was posted at January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, or February 2, 2020. In addition, the Company ~~would be required~~paid $2.6 million of collateral either in cash or pledged securities that was outstanding at both January 31, 2021 and November 1, 2020 to ~~post collateral up~~participate in an international futures market to ~~an amount equal to any liability position, prior to considering applicable netting provisions.~~hedge currency exposure, which is not included in the table on the subsequent page.

2924

The Company also has ISDA agreements with John Deere that permit the net settlement of amounts owed between counterparties in the event of early termination. In addition, the Company has a loss sharing agreement with John Deere in which it has agreed to absorb any losses and expenses John Deere incurs if an unrelated external counterparty fails to meet its obligations on a derivative transaction that John Deere entered into to manage exposures of the Company. The loss sharing agreement did not increase the maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur, after considering collateral received and netting arrangements, as of ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, and November 3, 2019. The loss sharing agreement increased the maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur, after considering collateral received and netting arrangements, by $17.4 million as of April 28, 2019.February 2, 2020.

Derivatives are recorded without offsetting for netting arrangements or collateral. The impact on the derivative assets and liabilities for external derivatives and those with John Deere related to netting arrangements and any collateral received or paid were as follows (in millions of dollars):

(12) Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company is a participating employer in certain Deere & Company sponsored defined benefit pension plans for employees in the U.S. and certain defined benefit pension plans outside the U.S. These pension plans provide for benefits that are based primarily on years of service and employee compensation. Pension expense is actuarially determined based on the Company’s employees included in the plan. The Company’s pension expense was not significant for the three month periods ending January 31, 2021 and ~~six months ended May 3, 2020 and April 28, 2019.~~February 2, 2020. The accumulated benefit obligation and plan net assets for the employees of the Company are not determined separately from Deere & Company. The Company provides defined benefit health care and life insurance plans for certain retired employees in the U.S. as a participating employer in Deere & Company’s sponsored plans. Health care and life insurance benefits expense is actuarially determined based on the Company’s employees included in the plans and amounted to $1.6 million for the ~~second quarter and $6.7 million for the~~ first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020,~~2021, compared with ~~$1.3 million and $2.5~~$5.1 million for the same ~~periods~~period last year. The ~~increase~~decrease from the prior year is primarily due to a $3.3 million curtailment loss in the first ~~quarter~~three months of 2020 related to voluntary employee-separation programs ~~(See~~(see Note 13). Further disclosure for these plans is included in Deere & Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended ~~May 3, 2020.~~January 31, 2021.

(13) Employee-Separation Programs

During the ~~second~~first quarter ~~and first six months~~ of 2020, the Company incurred voluntary employee-separation program expenses of ~~$1.0~~$7.7 million, ~~and $8.7 million, respectively,~~ as part of its efforts to create a more efficient organization structure and reduce operating costs. The ~~programs~~program provided for cash payments based on years of service. The expenses were recorded primarily in the period in which the employees irrevocably accepted the separation offer. Included in the total pretax expense noted above ~~for the first six months of 2020~~ was a non-cash charge of $3.3 million resulting from a curtailment in certain OPEB plans ~~during the first quarter of 2020 (See~~(see Note 12). The expenses were recorded in administrative and operating expenses.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Overview

Organization

The Company primarily generates revenues and cash by financing John Deere dealers’ sales and leases of new and used agriculture and turf equipment and construction and forestry equipment. In addition, the Company also provides wholesale financing to dealers of the foregoing equipment and finances retail revolving charge accounts.

Trends and Economic Conditions

The Company’s acquisition volume of Receivables and Leases is largely dependent upon the level of retail sales and leases of John Deere products. The level of John Deere retail sales and leases is responsive to a variety of economic, financial, climatic, legislative, and other factors that influence demand for its products.

Industry sales of agricultural machinery in the U.S. and Canada are ~~expected~~forecast to be ~~down about 10~~up 15 to 20 percent ~~for fiscal year 2020 compared to the prior year.~~in 2021. Industry sales in Europe are forecast to be up about 5 ~~to 10~~ percent ~~lower~~ in ~~2020.~~2021. In South ~~American~~America, industry sales of tractors and combines are projected to be ~~down~~up about 10 ~~to 15 percent.~~percent in 2021. Asian ~~industry~~ sales are forecast to be down ~~moderately~~slightly in ~~2020.~~2021. Industry sales of turf and utility equipment in the U.S. and Canada are expected to be up about 5 percent in 2021. Construction industry sales in U.S. and Canada for 2021 are expected to increase about 5 percent, while compact construction industry sales in the U.S. and Canada are expected to increase about 10 percent ~~lower~~ in 2020. John Deere’s agriculture and turf segment sales decreased 18 percent in the second quarter and 13 percent for the first six months. Construction equipment industry sales in North America for 2020 are expected to decline 20 to 30 percent.2021. In forestry, global industry sales are expected to be 155 to 2010 percent ~~lower. John Deere’s construction and forestry segment sales decreased 25 percent in the second quarter and 18 percent in the first six months.~~higher.

The Company’s full year ~~2020~~2021 results are expected to ~~decline~~benefit from income earned from a higher average portfolio, lower losses on lease residual values, and favorable financing spreads.

Items of concern include uncertainty of the effectiveness of governmental and private sector actions to address COVID, trade agreements, the uncertainty of the results of monetary and fiscal policies, the impact of elevated levels of sovereign and state debt, capital market disruptions, changes in demand and pricing for new and used equipment, geopolitical events, and the other items discussed in the “Safe Harbor Statement” below. Significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and volatility in the price of many commodities could also impact the Company’s results. The future financial effects of COVID are unknown due to many factors. As a ~~higher provision for credit losses and less favorable financing spreads, partially offset by lower losses and impairments on operating lease residual values.~~result, predicting the Company’s forecasted financial performance is subject to many assumptions.

COVID Effects and Actions

~~During the second quarter of 2020 the~~The effects of COVID and the related actions of governments and other authorities to contain COVID ~~including travel bans, shelter-in-place guidelines, shutdown orders, actions necessary~~continue to ~~regularly clean facilities, and conforming with social distancing guidelines have significantly affected~~affect the Company’s operations, results, cash flows, and forecasts.

The U.S. government and many other governments in countries where the Company operates have designated John Deere an essential critical infrastructure business. This designation allows the Company to operate in support of its customers to the extent possible.

The Company’s first priority in addressing the effects of COVID iscontinues to be the health, safety, and overall welfare of its employees. The Company effectively activated previously established business continuity plans and proactively implemented health and safety measures at its operations around the world. These measures include employee health screening, using personal protective equipment, enhanced cleaning and sanitation efforts, eliminating all non-essential travel through at least June 30, 2020, and transitioning most of the workforce to work-at-home arrangements.

The economic effects of COVID have reduced customer demand for many of John Deere’s products and services, particularly in small agriculture, turf, construction, forestry, and roadbuilding equipment, which resulted in lower shipment volumes. Certain of the Company’s factories have been subjectCompany continued to voluntary or government mandated temporary shutdowns, or were briefly idled due to component shortages, which reduced production capacity. These temporary shutdowns occurred primarily in Argentina, Brazil, France, and India. John Deere suppliers in the U.S., Mexico, India, and Southern Europe have also been significantly affected by government and voluntary actions to limit the spread of COVID resulting in delivery delays, at times significant

delays, or the inability to meet delivery requirements of critical raw material, parts, and components. As the Company’s acquisition volume of Receivables and Leases is largely dependent upon the level of sales and leases of John Deere products, the effects noted above may impact the Company’s acquisition volumes.

Most of the independent, third-party and John Deere owned dealers that sell and service John Deere’s equipment and repair parts have also been designated as critical businesses. Those dealers are following government and health organization safety guidance, while continuing to provide sales and service to equipment users, especially farmers and essential use construction equipment.

~~In support of the Company’s~~work closely with its customers, including John Deere dealers and retail customers, ~~actions were taken to provide~~in the first quarter in connection with short-term relief on obligations owed to the Company. The relief was provided in regional programs and on a case-by-case basis with customers that were generally current in their payment obligations. For retail customers, the relief generally included payment deferrals of three months or less and primarily related to construction accounts. The relief provided to dealers generally included payment deferrals of three months or less and short-term interest rate reductions in certain markets and primarily related to agriculture and turf dealers. The Receivables and Leases granted relief since the beginning of the pandemic and remaining outstanding at January 31, 2021 represented approximately 4 percent of the ~~Receivable~~Receivables and ~~Lease~~Leases portfolio ~~at May 3, 2020 (See~~(see Notes 4 and 6).

The Company has taken measures in the second quarter of 2020 to strengthen its financial position. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $1,266.3 million at May 3, 2020. In fiscal April, the Company renewed its revolving credit facilities in the aggregate amount of $8,000 million on terms substantially similar, in all material respects, to the terms in the previous agreements. As of May 3, 2020, these revolving credit facilities were undrawn. Additional information is presented in the “Capital Resources and Liquidity” section.27

Due primarily to the financial effects of COVID and other macroeconomic issues, the allowance for credit losses increased by $36.7 million during the second quarter of 2020. In addition, the Company recorded impairment losses on lease residual values of $30.8 million during the same period (See Notes 4 and 6).

The Company has sought to safeguard the health and well-being of employees while supporting John Deere’s obligation as an essential business serving customers throughout the world. This proactive approach has kept employees safe, while allowing the Company to continue providing financial services to its customers and dealers. John Deere remains committed to offering a full suite of advanced digital tools that give customers unique capabilities and help them perform their work more efficiently and profitably. Management’s goal is to successfully manage the pandemic’s effects and strengthen its position serving customers in the future.

* The delinquency status of receivables granted relief due to COVID is based on the modified payment schedule (see Note 4).

Receivables 30 days or more past due continue to accrue finance income. The Company ceases to accrue finance income once Receivables are considered non-performing. An allowance for credit losses is recorded for the estimated ~~uncollectible amount.~~credit losses expected over the life of the Receivable portfolio. The Company measures expected credit losses on a collective basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Risk characteristics considered by the Company include product category, market, geography, credit risk, and remaining duration. Receivables that do not share risk characteristics with other receivables in the portfolio are evaluated on an individual basis. The increase in the allowance for credit losses ~~is subject~~during the first quarter of 2021 was primarily due to ~~an ongoing evaluation based~~the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on ~~many quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical net loss experience by product category, portfolio duration, delinquency trends, economic conditions in~~Financial Instruments, which establishes ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. While the ~~Company’s major markets and geographies, and credit risk quality. The~~ Company believes its allowance is sufficient to provide for losses ~~inherent in~~over the life of its existing Receivable ~~portfolio.~~portfolio, different assumptions or changes in economic conditions would result in changes to the allowance for credit losses and the provision for credit losses. See Note 4 for additional information related to the allowance for credit losses.

Deposits withheld from dealers and merchants amounted to ~~$109.0~~$126.9 million at ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, compared with ~~$137.5~~$114.8 million at November ~~3, 2019~~1, 2020 and ~~$138.2~~$128.5 million at ~~April 28, 2019.~~February 2, 2020. These balances primarily represent the aggregate dealer retail note and lease withholding accounts from individual John Deere dealers to which losses from retail notes and leases originating from the respective dealers can be charged. Upon the adoption of ASU 2016-13, recoveries from dealer deposits are recognized in other income when the dealer’s withholding account is charged. During the three months ended January 31, 2021, $.9 million was recorded in other income related to recoveries from dealer deposits and other freestanding credit enhancements. Prior to the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, the benefit of credit losses recovered from freestanding credit enhancements, such as dealer deposits, were recognized in the provision for credit losses.

Safe Harbor Statement

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Statements under “Overview” and other forward-looking statements herein that relate to future events, expectations and trends involve factors that are subject to change, and risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.

Factors that could materially affect the Company’s operations, access to capital, expenses, and results include changes in, uncertainty surrounding and the impact of governmental trade, banking, monetary, and fiscal policies, including financial regulatory reform and its effects on the consumer finance industry, derivatives, funding costs, and other areas. Actions by central banks, financial, and securities regulators may affect the costs and expenses of financing the Company and the financing rates it is able to offer. The Company’s business is affected by general economic conditions in the global markets in which the Company operates because deteriorating economic conditions and political instability can result in decreased customer confidence, lower demand for equipment, higher credit losses, and greater currency risk. The Company’s business is also affected by changes in demand and pricing for used equipment and resulting impacts on lease residual values; actions of banks, financing and leasing companies, and other lenders that compete with the Company for customers; capital market disruptions; significant changes in capital market liquidity and associated funding costs; interest rates (including the availability of IBOR reference rates) and foreign currency exchange rates and their volatility; changes to accounting standards; changes in tax rates, estimates, laws and regulations and Company actions related thereto; changes to and compliance with privacy regulations; changes to and compliance with economic sanctions and export controls laws and regulations; compliance with U.S. and foreign laws when expanding to new markets and otherwise; actions by other regulatory bodies; governmental programs, policies, and tariffs for the benefit of certain industries or sectors; sanctions in ~~weather patterns;~~particular jurisdictions; retaliatory actions to such changes in trade, banking, monetary and fiscal policies; the political and social stability of the global markets in which the Company operates; changes in weather patterns; the effects of, or response to, terrorism and security threats; wars and other conflicts; natural disasters; and the spread of major epidemics (including ~~COVID)~~the COVID pandemic) and government and industry responses to epidemics, such as travel restrictions and extended shut down of ~~businesses.~~businesses; events that damage the Company’s reputation or brand; significant investigations, claims,

lawsuits or other legal proceedings; changes in the ability to attract, develop, engage, and retain qualified personnel; the implementation of the smart industrial operating strategy and other organizational changes; the failure to realize anticipated savings or benefits of cost reduction, productivity, or efficiency efforts; difficulties related to the conversion and implementation of the Company’s information technology systems; and security breaches, cybersecurity attacks, technology failures and other disruptions to the Company’s information technology infrastructure.

Uncertainties related to the magnitude and duration of the COVID pandemic may significantly adversely affect John Deere’s and the Company’s business and outlook. These uncertainties include:the duration and impact of any resurgence in COVID cases in any country, state, or region; the emergence, contagiousness, and threat of new and different strains of COVID; prolonged reduction or closure of John Deere’s and the Company’s operations, or a delayed recovery in our operations; additional closures as mandated or otherwise made necessary by governmental authorities; additional operating costs ~~at facilities that remain open~~ due to remote working arrangements, adherence to social distancing guidelines and other COVID-related challenges; increased risk of cyber attacks on network connections used in remote working arrangements; increased privacy-related risks due to processing health-related personal information; legal claims related to personal protective equipment designed, made, or provided by the Company or alleged exposure to COVID on Company premises; absence of employees due to illness; the impact of the pandemic on the financial condition and credit risk of the Company's customers and dealers, which could affect the demand for financing and lead to higher credit losses and losses on lease residual values; requests by the Company’s customers or dealers for payment deferrals and contract modifications; the impact of disruptions in the global capital markets and/or ~~continued~~ declines in John Deere’s and the Company’s financial performance, outlook or credit ratings, which could impact John Deere’s and the Company’s ability to obtain funding in the future; and the impact of the pandemic on demand for John Deere’s products and services. It is unclear when ana sustained economic recovery could occur and what a recovery may look like. All of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial position.

Significant changes in market liquidity conditions, changes in the Company’s credit ratings, and any failure to comply with financial covenants in credit agreements could impact access to funding and funding costs, which could reduce the Company’s earnings and cash flows. Financial market conditions could also negatively impact customer access to capital for purchases of John Deere’s products and customer confidence and purchase decisions, borrowing and repayment practices, and the number and size of customer loan delinquencies and defaults. A debt crisis, in Europe or elsewhere, could negatively impact currencies, global financial markets, social and political stability, funding sources and costs, asset and obligation values, customers, and Company operations and results. ~~Security breaches, cybersecurity attacks, technology failures, and other disruptions to the Company’s information technology infrastructure also could materially affect results.~~ The Company’s operations could be impaired by changes in the equity, bond, and other financial markets, which would negatively affect earnings.

The withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and the perceptions as to the impact of the withdrawal may adversely affect business activity, political stability and economic conditions in the United Kingdom, the European Union and elsewhere. The economic conditions and outlook could be further adversely affected by (i) uncertainty regarding any new or modified trade arrangements between the United Kingdom and the European Union and/or other countries, (ii) the risk that one or more other European Union countries could come under increasing pressure to leave the European Union, or (iii) the risk that the euro as the single currency of the Eurozone could cease to exist. Any of these developments, or the perception that any of these developments are likely to occur, could affect economic growth or business activity in the United Kingdom or the European Union, and could result in the relocation of businesses, cause business interruptions, lead to economic recession or depression, and impact the stability of the financial markets, availability of credit, currency exchange rates, interest rates, financial institutions, and political, financial and monetary systems. Any of these developments could affect our businesses, liquidity, results of operations and financial position.

The liquidity and ongoing profitability of the Company depend largely on timely access to capital in order to meet future cash flow requirements, and to fund operations, costs, and purchases of John Deere’s products. If general economic conditions deteriorate or capital markets become more volatile, including as a result of the COVID pandemic, funding could be unavailable or insufficient. Additionally, customer confidence levels may result in declines in credit applications and increases in delinquencies and default rates, which could materially impact the Company’s write-offs and provision for credit losses.

In addition, the Company’s business is closely related to John Deere’s business. Further information, including factors that could materially affect the Company’s and John Deere’s financial results, is included in the most recent Deere & Company Form 10-K and Form 10-Q (including, but not limited to, the factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q) and other Deere & Company and Capital Corporation quarterly and other filings with the SEC.

The increase in cash was primarily related to the Company’s efforts to provide added liquidity due to the financial uncertainty created by COVID.

~~During the first six months of 2019, the aggregate net cash provided by operating and~~used for financing activities ~~was used primarily to fund Receivables and Leases. Net cash provided by operating activities was $1,019.7~~totaled

$1,097.9 million in the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2019. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled $1,626.6 million in the first six months of 2019,~~2020, resulting primarily from ~~an increase~~a net decrease in total external borrowings of ~~$2,175.1~~$520.0 million, ~~partially offset by~~ a net decrease in payables to John Deere of ~~$302.4~~$445.4 million, and dividends paid of $230.0 million. Net cash used by investing activities totaled $2,736.4 million in the first six months of 2019, primarily due to an increase in net wholesale receivables of $2,863.7 million and the cost of equipment on operating leases acquired exceeding proceeds from sales of equipment on operating leases by $435.3 million,

~~partially offset by the collections of Receivables (excluding wholesale) exceeding the cost of Receivables acquired (excluding wholesale) by $631.0~~$125.0 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash ~~decreased $94.6~~increased $18.2 million during the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2019.~~2020.

The Company relies on its ability to raise substantial amounts of funds to finance its Receivable and Lease portfolios. The Company has access to most global markets at a reasonable cost and expects to have sufficient sources of global funding and liquidity to meet its funding needs. The Company’s ability to meet its debt obligations is supported in a number of ways. The assets of the Company are self-liquidating in nature. A solid equity position is available to absorb unusual losses on these assets and all commercial paper is backed by unsecured, committed borrowing lines from various banks. Liquidity is also provided by the Company’s ability to securitize these assets and through the issuance of term debt. Additionally, liquidity may be provided through loans from John Deere. The Company’s commercial paper outstanding at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019~~February 2, 2020 was ~~$2,079.2~~$299.9 million, ~~$1,345.5~~$125.0 million, and ~~$3,413.4~~$1,131.4 million, respectively, while the total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities position was ~~$1,268.0~~$624.7 million, ~~$635.8~~$676.8 million, and ~~$529.7~~$644.9 million, respectively. The amount of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was ~~approximately $148.9~~$124.0 million, ~~$134.7~~$163.7 million, and ~~$112.1~~$152.6 million at ~~May 3,~~January 31, 2021, November 1, 2020, ~~November 3, 2019,~~ and ~~April 28, 2019,~~February 2, 2020, respectively.

Capital Corporation has a revolving credit agreement to utilize bank conduit facilities to securitize retail notes ~~(See~~(see Note 5). ~~At May 3,~~During November 2020, ~~this facility had~~the agreement was renewed with a total capacity, or “financing limit,” of ~~$3,500.0~~$2,000.0 million of secured financings at any time. After a two-year revolving period, unless the banks and Capital Corporation agree to renew, Capital Corporation would liquidate the secured borrowings over time as payments on the retail notes are collected. At ~~May 3, 2020, $1,629.9~~January 31, 2021, $1,549.9 million of short-term securitization borrowings were outstanding under the agreement.

During the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020,~~2021, the Company issued ~~$2,129.9~~$1,523.1 million and retired ~~$3,033.1~~$1,367.7 million of long-term borrowings, which were primarily medium-term notes. During the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020,~~2021, the Company also ~~issued $1,770.1 million and~~ retired ~~$1,443.2~~$705.8 million of retail note securitization borrowings and maintained an average commercial paper balance of ~~$1,905.1~~$705.4 million. At ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, the Company’s funding profile included ~~$2,181.4~~$314.1 million of commercial paper and other notes payable, ~~$4,603.5~~$3,951.5 million of securitization borrowings, ~~$2,550.4~~$5,227.4 million of loans from John Deere, ~~$26,302.5~~$25,184.3 million of unsecured term debt, and ~~$3,997.2~~$4,342.5 million of equity capital. The Company’s funding profile may be altered to reflect such factors as relative costs of funding sources, assets available for securitizations, and capital market accessibility.

Total interest-bearing indebtedness amounted to ~~$35,637.8~~$34,677.3 million at ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, compared with ~~$34,362.2~~$35,145.9 million at November ~~3, 2019~~1, 2020 and ~~$33,525.6~~$33,450.6 million at ~~April 28, 2019.~~February 2, 2020. Total short-term indebtedness amounted to ~~$14,782.4~~$15,179.8 million at ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, compared with ~~$13,309.8~~$15,834.8 million at November ~~3, 2019~~1, 2020 and ~~$13,819.7~~$12,588.7 million at ~~April 28, 2019.~~February 2, 2020. Total long-term indebtedness amounted to ~~$20,855.4~~$19,497.5 million at ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, compared with ~~$21,052.4~~$19,311.1 million at November ~~3, 2019~~1, 2020 and ~~$19,705.9~~$20,861.9 million at ~~April 28, 2019.~~February 2, 2020. The ratio of total interest-bearing debt, including securitization indebtedness, to stockholder’s equity was ~~8.9~~8.0 to 1 at ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, compared with ~~8.3~~8.2 to 1 at November ~~3, 2019~~1, 2020 and ~~8.3~~8.2 to 1 at ~~April 28, 2019.~~February 2, 2020.

Stockholder’s equity was ~~$3,997.2~~$4,342.5 million at ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, compared with ~~$4,128.4~~$4,298.2 million at November ~~3, 2019~~1, 2020 and ~~$4,024.6~~$4,097.3 million at ~~April 28, 2019.~~February 2, 2020. The ~~decrease~~increase in the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020~~2021 was primarily due to ~~dividends paid of $225.0 million, partially offset by~~ net income attributable to the Company of ~~$125.1~~$166.7 million and a change in the cumulative translation adjustment of $35.7 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $135.0 million and the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13 of $26.2 million.

Lines of Credit

The Company has access to bank lines of credit with various banks throughout the world. Some of the lines are available to both the Company and Deere & Company. Worldwide lines of credit totaled ~~$8,102.2~~$8,014.2 million at ~~May 3, 2020, $4,614.2~~January 31, 2021, $6,654.2 million of which were unused. For the purpose of computing unused credit lines, commercial paper and short-term bank borrowings, excluding secured borrowings and the current portion of

long-term borrowings, of the Company and Deere & Company were primarily considered to constitute utilization. Included in the total credit lines at ~~May 3, 2020~~January 31, 2021 was a 364-day credit facility agreement of $3,000.0 million, expiring in fiscal April 2021. In addition, total credit lines included long-term credit facility

agreements of $2,500.0 million, expiring in fiscal April 2024, and $2,500.0 million, expiring in fiscal April 2025. These credit agreements require the Company to maintain its consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges at not less than 1.05 to 1 for each fiscal quarter and its ratio of senior debt, excluding securitization indebtedness, to capital base (total subordinated debt and stockholder’s equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)) at not more than 11 to 1 at the end of any fiscal quarter. All of ~~these~~the requirements of the credit agreements have been met during the periods included in the consolidated financial statements.

Debt Ratings

The Company’s ability to obtain funding is affected by its debt ratings, which are closely related to the outlook for and the financial condition of John Deere, and the nature and availability of support facilities, such as its lines of credit and the support agreement from Deere & Company.

To access public debt capital markets, the Company relies on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings to the Company’s securities as an indicator of credit quality for fixed income investors. A security rating is not a recommendation by the rating agency to buy, sell, or hold Company securities. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw Company ratings based on its assessment of the Company’s current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. Each agency’s rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Lower credit ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, including costs of derivative transactions, and reduced access to debt capital markets.

The senior long-term and short-term debt ratings and outlook currently assigned to unsecured Company debt securities by the rating agencies engaged by the Company are the same as those for John Deere. Those ratings are as follows:


	Senior Long-Term	Short-Term	Outlook
Fitch Ratings	A	F1	Stable
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.	A2	Prime-1	Stable
Standard & Poor’s	A	A-1	Stable

Dividends ~~and Other Events~~

Capital Corporation declared and paid cash dividends to John Deere Financial Services, Inc. (JDFS) of ~~$225.0~~$135.0 million and ~~$230.0~~$125.0 million in the first ~~six~~three months of ~~2020~~2021 and ~~2019,~~2020, respectively. In each case, JDFS paid comparable dividends to Deere & Company.

On May 28, 2020, Capital Corporation declared a $25.0 million dividend to be paid to JDFS on June 15, 2020. JDFS, in turn, declared a $25.0 million dividend to Deere & Company, also payable on June 15, 2020.

~~In May 2020, the Company entered into a retail note securitization using its bank conduit facility that resulted in securitization borrowings of approximately $743.4 million.~~

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

See the Company’s most recent annual report filed on Form 10-K (Part II, Item 7A). There has been no material change in this information.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Act)) were effective as of ~~May 3, 2020,~~January 31, 2021, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Act. The Company implemented new loss forecast models for the estimation of the allowance for credit losses with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. The Company began using the models on November 2, 2020 in determining its allowance for credit losses, which is an estimate of credit losses expected over the life of the Company’s Receivable portfolio. In conjunction with this change, management has implemented new controls within the allowance for credit losses process. During the ~~second~~first quarter, there were no other changes that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

See the Company’s most recent annual report on Form 10-K (Part I, Item 1A).

~~The COVID pandemic resulted in additional risks that could materially adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.~~

COVID was identified in late 2019 and has spread globally. The rapid spread has resulted in governments and other authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and shutdowns. These measures have impacted and may further impact all or portions of the Company’s workforce and operations and the operations of customers. We have operations in the U.S. and other countries, each of which have been affected by the pandemic and taken containment measures. Considerable uncertainty exists regarding such measures and potential future measures. Restrictions on the Company’s workforce’s access to its facilities could limit its ability to meet customer servicing expectations and have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations. There is no certainty that measures taken by governmental authorities will be sufficient to mitigate the risks posed by the virus, and the Company’s ability to perform critical functions could be harmed.

The COVID pandemic has also significantly increased economic and demand uncertainty and has led to disruption and volatility in the global capital markets, which increases the cost of capital and adversely impacts access to capital. It is likely that the COVID pandemic has caused an economic slowdown, and it is possible that it could cause a global recession. These events could affect the value of the equipment financed or leased, the demand for financings and the financial condition and credit risk of our dealers and customers. Risks related to negative economic conditions are described in our risk factor titled “Negative economic conditions and outlook can materially weaken demand for John Deere’s equipment and services, limit access to funding and result in higher funding costs for the Company and John Deere” under “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 3, 2019.

Uncertainties related to the magnitude and duration of the COVID pandemic may significantly adversely affect John Deere’s and the Company’s business and outlook. These uncertainties include: prolonged reduction or closure of John Deere’s and the Company’s operations, or a delayed recovery in such operations; additional closures as mandated or otherwise made necessary by governmental authorities; additional operating costs at facilities that remain open due to remote working arrangements, adherence to social distancing guidelines and other COVID-related challenges; absence of employees due to illness; requests by the Company’s customers or dealers for payment deferrals and contract modifications; the impact of disruptions in the global capital markets and/or continued declines in John Deere’s and the Company’s financial performance, outlook or credit ratings, which could impact John Deere’s and the Company’s ability to obtain funding in the future; and the impact of the pandemic on demand for John Deere’s products and services. It is unclear when an economic recovery could occur and what a recovery may look like. All of these factors could materially and adversely affect our business, liquidity, results of operations and financial position.

The ultimate magnitude of COVID effects, including the extent of its impact on the Company’s financial and operational results, which could be material, will be determined by the length of time that the pandemic continues, its effect on the demand for our services, as well as the effect of governmental regulations imposed in response to the pandemic. We cannot at this time predict the impact of the COVID pandemic, but it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and/or cash flows.

There has been no ~~additional~~ material change ~~to the other risks included~~ in ~~the most recent annual report filed on Form 10-K.~~this information. The risks described in the annual report on Form 10-K, and the “Safe Harbor Statement” in this

report, are not the only risks faced by the Company. Additional risks and uncertainties may also materially affect the Company’s business, financial condition, or operating results. One should not consider the risk factors to be a complete discussion of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.
