(8) Financing Receivables
The Company monitorsWe monitor the credit quality of financing receivables based on delinquency status. Past due balances of financing 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 financing receivables represent receivables for which the Company has ceased accruing finance income. The Company ceases accruing finance income when these receivables are generally 90 days delinquent. Generally, when receivables are 120 days delinquent the estimated uncollectible amount from the customer is written off to the allowance for credit losses. 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.status, defined as follows:
● | Past due balances represent any payments 30 days or more past the due date. |
● | Non-performing financing receivables represent receivables for which we have stopped accruing finance income. This generally occurs when receivables are 90 days delinquent. |
● | Write-offs generally occur when receivables are 120 days delinquent. In these situations, the estimated uncollectible amount is written off to the allowance for credit losses. Any expected recovery is presented as non-performing. |

Modifications
We occasionally grant contractual modifications to customers experiencing financial difficulties. Before offering a modification, we evaluate the portfolio in Russia,ability of the customer to meet the modified payment terms. Modifications offered include payment deferrals, term extensions, or a combination thereof. Finance charges continue to accrue during the deferral or extension period. Our allowance for credit losses decreasedincorporates historical loss information, including the effects of loan modifications with customers. Therefore, additional adjustments to the allowance are generally not recorded upon modification of a loan.

(9) Securitization of Financing Receivables
Our funding strategy includes receivable securitizations, which allows us to receive cash for financing receivables immediately. While these securitization programs are administered in various forms, they are accomplished in the following basic steps:
As a part of its overall funding strategy,step 1, these receivables are legally isolated from the Company periodically transfers certainclaims of our general creditors. This ensures cash receipts from the financing receivables (retail notes) into VIEs that are special purpose entities (SPEs), or non-VIE banking operations, as part of its asset-backed securities programs (securitizations).accessible to pay back securitization program investors. The structure of these transactions is such that the transfer of the retail notes does not meet the accounting criteria for salesa sale of receivables, and is, therefore,receivables. As a result, they are 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 holdThe receivables and borrowings remain on our balance sheet and are legally isolated. Use of the assets held by the SPEs or the non-VIEs is restricted by terms of the documents governing theseparately reported as “Financing receivables securitized – net” and “Short-term securitization transactions.borrowings,” respectively.

The fair values of the remaining financing receivables approximated the carrying amounts.
Fair values of long-term borrowings and short-term securitization borrowings were based on current market quotes for identical or similar borrowings and credit risk, or on the discounted values of their related cash flows at current market interest rates. Certain long-term borrowings have been swapped to current variable interest rates. The carrying values of these long-term borrowings included adjustments related to fair value hedges.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies the Company useswe use to measure certain financial instruments on the balance sheetsheets at fair value:
Marketable securities – The portfolio of investments is valued on a market approach (matrix pricing model) in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data such as interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, credit risk, and prepayment speeds. Funds are valued using closingthe fund’s net asset value, based on the fair value of the underlying securities. International debt securities are valued using quoted prices for identical assets in the active market in which the investment trades.inactive markets.
Derivatives – The Company’sOur derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate contracts (swaps), foreign currency exchange contracts (futures, forwards, and swaps), and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps). The portfolio is valued based on an income approach (discounted cash flow) using market observable inputs, including swap curves and both forward and spot exchange rates for currencies.
Financing 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).
Inventories – The impairment was based on net realizable value.
Property and equipment - net – The valuations were based on cost and market approaches. The inputs include replacement cost estimates adjusted for physical deterioration and economic obsolescence.
(18) Derivative Instruments
The Company’s policy is to executeFair values of our derivative transactions to manage exposures arising ininstruments and the normal course of business and not for the purpose of creating speculative positions or trading. The financial services operations manage the relationship of the types andassociated notional amounts of their funding sources to their receivable and lease portfolio 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 buying, selling, and financing in currencies other than the functional currencies. In addition, the Company has interest rate and foreign currency exposure at certain equipment operations units for sales incentive programs.
All derivativeswere as follows. Assets are recorded at fair value on the balance sheets. Cash collateral received or paid is not offset against the derivative fair values on the balance sheet. The cash flows from the derivative contracts werein “Other assets,” while liabilities are recorded in operating activities in the statements of consolidated cash flows. 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“Accounts payable and accrued expenses.”

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
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 January 29, 2023, October 30, 2022, and January 30, 2022 were $1,950 million, $1,950 million, and $2,700 million, respectively. Fair value gains or losses on cash flow hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions impact earnings. These amounts offset the effects of interest rate changes on the related borrowings.
The amount of gain recorded in OCI at January 29, 2023 that is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months if interest rates remain unchanged is $38 million after-tax. No gains or losses were reclassified from OCI to earnings based on the probability that the original forecasted transaction would not occur.
Fair Value Hedges
Certain interest rate contracts (swaps) were designated as fair value hedges of borrowings. The total notional amounts of the receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate contracts at January 29, 2023, October 30, 2022, and January 30, 2022 were $10,802 million, $10,112 million, and $8,307 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.
The amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet related to borrowings designated in fair value hedging relationships were as follows in millions of dollars. Fair value hedging adjustments are included in the carrying amount of the hedged item.

These derivatives were held as economic hedges for underlying interest rate or foreign currency exposures for certain borrowings, purchases or sales of inventory, and sales incentive programs. The total notional amounts of these interest rate swaps at January 29, 2023, October 30, 2022, and January 30, 2022 were $11,147 million, $10,568 million, and $10,210 million, the foreign exchange contracts were $9,304 million, $8,185 million, and $7,864 million, and the cross-currency interest rate contracts were $234 million, $260 million, and $303 million, respectively. The fair value gains or losses from derivatives not designated as hedging instruments were recorded in the statements of consolidated income, generally offsetting over time the exposure on the hedged item.

Counterparty Risk and Collateral
Derivative instruments are subject to significant concentrations of credit risk to the banking sector. The Company manages individual counterparty exposure by setting limits that consider the credit rating of the counterparty, the credit default swap spread of the counterparty, and other financial commitments and exposures between the Company and the counterparty banks. All interest rate derivatives are transacted under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) documentation. Some of these agreements include credit support provisions. Each master agreement permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default or termination.
Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements contain credit support provisions that may require the Company to post collateral based on the size of the net liability positions and credit ratings.

Smart Industrial Operating Model and Leap Ambitions
The Company’sWe announced the Smart Industrial Operating Model in 2020. This operating model is focusedbased on making significant investments, strengthening the Company’s capabilities in digital, automation, autonomy, and alternative propulsion technologies. These technologies are intended to increase worksite efficiency, improve yields, lower input costs, and ease labor constraints. The Company’sthree focus areas:
(a) | Production systems: A strategic alignment of products and solutions around our customers’ operations. |
(b) | Technology stack: Investments in technology, as well as research and development, that deliver intelligent solutions to our customers through digital capabilities, automation, autonomy, and alternative power technologies. |
(c) | Lifecycle solutions: The integration of our aftermarket and support capabilities to more effectively manage customer equipment, service, and technology needs across the full lifetime of a John Deere product. |
Our Leap Ambitions were launched in 2022. These ambitions are goals designed to boost economic value and sustainability for the Company’sour customers. The Company anticipates opportunities in this area, as the Company and its customers have a vested interest in sustainable practices.ambitions align across our customers’ production systems seeking to optimize their operations to deliver better outcomes with fewer resources.
In FebruaryJanuary 2024, we released our 2023 the Company released its 2022 SustainabilityBusiness Impact Report, available at JohnDeere.com/sustainability. This report identifies important progress on the Company’sour Leap Ambitions in fiscal year 2022.2023.

Trends and Economic Conditions
Industry TrendsSales Outlook for Fiscal Year 2023 – Industry sales of large agricultural machinery in the U.S.2024
Agriculture and Canada for 2023 are forecasted to increase 5 to 10 percent compared to 2022. Industry sales of small agricultural and turf equipment in the U.S. and Canada are expected to be down about 5 percent in 2023. Industry sales of agricultural machinery in Europe are forecasted to be flat to up 5 percent, while South American industry sales of tractors and combines are expected to be flat to up 5 percent in 2023. Asia industry sales are forecasted to be down moderately in 2023. On an industry basis, North American construction equipment and compact construction equipment sales are both expected to be flat to up 5 percent in 2023. Global forestry and global roadbuilding industry sales are each expected to be flat.Turf

Company Trends – Customers’ demand for integration of technology into equipment is a market trend underlying the Company’s Smart Industrial operating model and Leap Ambitions framework. Customers have soughtseek to improve profitability, productivity, and sustainability through technology. The Company’s approachIntegration of technology into equipment is a persistent market trend. Our Smart Industrial Operating Model and Leap Ambitions are intended to technology involves hardware and software, guidance, connectivity and digital solutions, automation and machine intelligence, autonomy, and alternative propulsion technologies. This technology iscapitalize on this market trend. These technologies are incorporated into products within each of the Company’sour operating segments.
Customers continue to adopt technology integrated in the John Deere portfolio of “smart” machines, systems, and solutions. The Company expects We expect this trend to persist for the foreseeable future.
Demand The investments in these technologies and in establishing a Solutions as a Service business model might increase our operating costs and may decrease operating margins during the transition period. In the first quarter of 2024, we announced an agreement with SpaceX to expand machine connectivity for the Company’s equipment remains strong, as order books are full through a majority of 2023. Agricultural fundamentals are expected to remain solid into 2023, and retail demand will comprise most of 2023 sales. The North American retail customer fleet age of combines and large tractors remains above average, and dealer inventories are historically low due to the manufacturing and supply chain constraints over the past few years. The Company expects the replenishment of dealer stock inventory to occur in 2024. Crop prices remain favorable to our customers in part due to low stock-to-use ratios for key grains. The Company expects to sell more large agricultural equipment in 2023 than 2022 in North America, Europe, and South America. Demand for small agricultural equipment remains stable, while turf and utility equipment product sales are expected to be lower due to the overall U.S. economic conditions. Construction equipment markets are forecasted to be steady. Rental fleets replenishment, the energy industry, and U.S. infrastructure spend are expected to offset moderation in residentialrural areas through satellite communication.

home construction. Roadbuilding demand remains strongest in the U.S., largely offset by softening demand in Europe and parts of Asia. Net incomeCompany Outlook for the Company’s financial services operations is expected to be lower than fiscal year 2022 due to less-favorable financing spreads as a result of heightened interest rates, higher selling, administrative and general expenses, and lower gains on operating-lease dispositions, partially offset by higher average portfolio balances.
Additional Trends – The Company experienced supply chain disruptions and inflationary pressures in 2022. These trends continued into 2023. While these are two distinct issues and discussed separately below, their impact may be intertwined.
Supply chain disruptions impacted many aspects of the business, including parts availability, increased production costs, and higher inventory levels. Past due deliveries from suppliers were at elevated levels during 2022. Although past due deliveries remain elevated, the Company experienced improvement during the first quarter of 2023. The reduction in supply chain disruptions contributed to higher levels of production. The Company implemented the following mitigation efforts to minimize the impact of supply chain disruptions on its ability to meet customer demand:2024
•Worked with the supply base to obtain allocations and improve on-time deliveries of parts.
•Multi-sourced some parts and materials.
•Provided resources to suppliers to address constraints.
•Entered into long-term contracts for some critical components.
•Utilized alternative freight carriers to expedite delivery.
While supply chain disruptionsProduction volumes are expected to persist intodecline in 2024 as demand moderates to more normal levels.
Agriculture and Turf Outlook for 2024
● | We expect large and small agricultural equipment sales to be down from 2023 levels in North America, Europe, and South America. |
● | Sales of compact utility tractors continue to be lower as the industry works to bring down inventory levels, while demand for turf products has stabilized. |
● | We continue to produce at levels in line with retail demand in North America. To manage inventory in Europe and Brazil, we are producing at levels below retail demand. |
● | Agricultural fundamentals are expected to moderate in 2024 due to lower commodity prices and elevated interest rates, offset by resilient farm balance sheets and lower input costs. |
● | The U.S. equipment fleet age is above 20-year averages for both tractors and combines. |
● | The dairy and livestock sector continues to benefit from elevated cattle and hay prices. |
● | Commodity markets remain disrupted in Central and Eastern Europe due to the Russia/Ukraine war. Western Europe equipment demand is moderately impacted by uncertainty related to current cash crop receipts, agriculture policy changes, and high interest rates. |
● | Demand in Brazil is expected to moderate due to adverse weather conditions and high interest rates. |
● | Industry sales in Asia are forecasted to be down moderately. |
Construction and Forestry Outlook for 2024
● | Construction equipment industry sales are forecasted to be down from 2023 levels. |
● | Benefits from increasing U.S. infrastructure spending, elevated manufacturing investment levels, and improving single family housing starts are expected to partially offset moderation in office and retail construction. |
● | Roadbuilding demand remains strong in the U.S., largely offset by softening demand in Europe. |

Additional Trends
Agricultural Market Business Cycle. The agricultural market is affected by various factors including commodity prices, acreage planted, crop yields, and government policies. These factors affect farmers’ income and may result in lower demand for equipment. We may experience any of the Companyfollowing effects during unfavorable market conditions: lower net sales, higher sales discounts, higher receivable write-offs, or losses on equipment on operating leases. A potential benefit is working diligently to secure the parts and components that customers needmay invest in integrated technology solutions and precision agriculture to deliver essential foodlower input costs and infrastructure more profitably and sustainably. Although the Company experienced some improvement in this area during the first quarter of 2023, concerns remain and this issue could impact our ability to meet customer demand in the remainder of 2023.improve margins.
Inflation has continued to be a pervasive feature in 2023, increasing the cost of purchased components, energy, salaries, and wages. Higher costs due to general business inflation were offset by price realization, which mitigated the impact of inflation on the Company’s operating results. The Company expects inflation to continue in 2023 resulting in higher costs. If customers are unwilling to accept increases in cost of John Deere products, or the Company is otherwise unable to offset increases in production costs, inflation could have an adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition.
Interest Rates.Central bank policy interest rates increased in the first quarter of 2023 and are projectedhave remained elevated. Increased rates impacted us in several ways, primarily affecting the financing spreads for the financial services operations and demand for our products.
The market for our products is negatively impacted by higher interest rates. We expect higher borrowing costs for our customers to continue to increase during 2023 but at a moderating pace compared to 2022. primarily affect discretionary and residential product sales in 2024.
Most retail customer receivables are fixed rate, while wholesalerate. Wholesale financing receivables generally are floatingvariable rate. The Company has bothBoth types of receivables are financed with fixed and floating rate borrowings. The Company manages the risk ofWe manage our exposure to interest rate fluctuations by balancing the types and amounts of itsmatching our receivables with our funding sources to its financing receivable and equipment on operating lease portfolios. Accordingly, the Company enterssources. We also enter into interest rate swap agreements to manage itsmatch our interest rate exposure. Historically, rising
Rising interest rates impact the Company’shave historically impacted our borrowings sooner than the benefit is realized from the financing receivable and equipment on operating lease portfolios. As a result, the Company’sour financial services operations experienced $53 million$27 (after-tax) of less favorable financing spreads in the first quarter of 20232024 compared to 2022. The Company expects2023. We expect to continue experiencing spread compression in 2024, but at a moderating pace relative to persist duringspread compression experienced in 2023.
Supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, and risingHigher interest rates are driven by factors outside of the Company’sour control, and as a result the Companywe cannot reasonably foresee when these conditionsthis condition will subside.
Items of Concern and Uncertainties – Other items of concern include global and regional political conditions, economic and trade policies, imposition of new or retaliatory tariffs against certain countries or covering certain products, post-pandemic effects, capital market disruptions, changes in demand and pricing for new and used equipment, significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, and volatility in the prices of many commodities. These items could impact the Company’s results. The Company is making investments in technology and in strengthening its capabilities in digital, automation, autonomy, and alternative propulsion technologies. As with most technology investments, marketplace adoption and monetization of these features holds an elevated level of uncertainty.

We closely monitor our cash requirements. Based on the Company include cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, funds from operations, the issuance of commercial paper and term debt, the securitization of retail notes (both public and private markets), and bank lines of credit. The Company closely monitors its liquidity sources against the cash requirements and expects to have sufficientavailable sources of global funding and liquidity, we expect to meet itsour funding needs in the short term (next 12 months) and long term (beyond 12 months). The Company operatesWe are forecasting lower operating cash flows in 2024 compared with 2023.
We operate in multiple industries, which have differentunique funding requirements. The production and precision agriculture, small agriculture and turf, and construction and forestry segmentsequipment operations are capital intensive and are typicallyintensive. Historically, these operations have been subject to seasonal variations in financing requirements for inventories and certain receivables from dealers. However, the patterns of seasonality in inventory have been affected by increases in production rates and supply chain disruptions experienced during fiscal year 2022, which continue to impact inventory levels during 2023.
The financial services operations rely on their ability to raise substantial amounts of funds to finance their receivable and lease portfolios.
