Condensed Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

(1) Organization and Consolidation

Deere & Company has been developing innovative solutions to help its customers become more profitable for more than 185 years. References to “Deere & Company,” “John Deere,” “Deere,” “we,” “us,” or “our” include our consolidated subsidiaries, unless otherwise stated. We manage our business through the following operating segments: Production & Precision Agriculture (PPA), Small Agriculture & Turf (SAT), Construction & Forestry (CF), and Financial Services (John Deere Financial or FS). References to “equipment operations” include PPA, SAT, and CF, while references to “agriculture and turf” include both PPA and SAT.

We use a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The second quarter ends for fiscal years 2026 and 2025 were May 3, 2026, and April 27, 2025, respectively. Both quarters contained 13 weeks, while both year-to-date periods contained 26 weeks. Fiscal year 2025 contained 53 weeks, with the additional week occurring in the fourth quarter. Unless otherwise stated, references to particular years, quarters, or months refer to our fiscal years generally ending near the end of October and the associated periods in those fiscal years.

All amounts are presented in millions of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise specified. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation.

Variable Interest Entities

We consolidate certain variable interest entities (VIEs) related to retail note securitizations (see Note 10).

We have a 50 % ownership interest in Banco John Deere S.A. (BJD), an equity method investment that finances retail and wholesale loans for agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment in Brazil. This investment was established in February 2025 through the sale of 50 % ownership of a former subsidiary (see Note 21). BJD is a VIE as we provide funding and are exposed to losses that are disproportionate to our voting rights. However, we are not the primary beneficiary of the VIE because the power over significant activities, including the strategic plan, budget, credit policies, and funding guidelines, is shared among equity holders through an equally represented board of directors.

Financial results of BJD are reported in “Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates.” The related investment in unconsolidated affiliates is included in “Other assets” on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, while short-term and long-term funding is recorded in receivables from unconsolidated affiliates and included in “Other receivables.”

Our carrying value of receivables from and investments in BJD and maximum exposure to loss were as follows:

May 3 November 2 April 27
2026 2025 2025
Receivables from unconsolidated affiliates – “Other receivables” $ 279 $ 394 $ 564
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates – “Other assets” 409 405 372
Carrying value of assets related to VIE 688 799 936
Guarantees 172 157 156
Maximum exposure to loss $ 860 $ 956 $ 1,092

Guarantees primarily include BJD debt related to government funding that existed prior to the deconsolidation of BJD. We did not record a contractual liability related to these guarantees on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting PROnouncements

Quarterly Financial Statements

The interim consolidated financial statements of Deere & Company have been prepared by us, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All normal recurring adjustments have been included. Management believes the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. It is suggested these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the fiscal year.

Use of Estimates in Financial Statements

Certain accounting policies require management to make estimates and assumptions in determining the amounts reflected in the financial statements and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

7

Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted

We closely monitor all Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) and other authoritative guidance.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10 , Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities, which provides updated guidance on how to recognize, measure, and present government grants. The ASU will be effective for us beginning with our interim reporting for fiscal year 2030, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06 , Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which provides updated guidance for the capitalization of internal-use software. The ASU will be effective for us beginning with our interim reporting for fiscal year 2029, with early adoption permitted. We are assessing the effect of this update on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03 , Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which expands disclosures about specific expense categories presented on the face of the income statement. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01 , Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40), which clarifies the effective date of ASU 2024-03. The ASU will be effective for us beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2028 and interim periods thereafter. We are assessing the effect of ASU 2024-03 on our related disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09 , Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity’s income tax rate reconciliation table and cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The ASU will be effective for us beginning with our annual reporting for fiscal year 2026. We are assessing the effect of this update on our related disclosures. The adoption will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We will also adopt the following standards in future periods, none of which are expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements, including note disclosures to consolidated financial statements. All other accounting standards issued but not yet adopted were not applicable to us.

No. 2026-02 — Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818)
No. 2025-12 — Codification Improvements
No. 2025-11 — Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements
No. 2025-09 — Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Hedge Accounting Improvements
No. 2025-07 — Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815) and Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Derivatives Scope Refinements and Scope Clarification for Share-Based Noncash Consideration from a Customer in a Revenue Contract
No. 2025-05 — Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets
No. 2024-04 — Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20): Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments
No. 2023-06 — Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative

We invoice in advance of recognizing the revenue of certain products and services. These relate to extended warranty premiums, advance payments for future equipment sales, and subscription and service revenue related to precision guidance, telematic services, and other information enabled solutions. These advanced customer payments are presented as deferred revenue, a contract liability, in “Accounts payable and accrued expenses.” The deferred revenue received, but not recognized in revenue, was $ 2,155 , $ 2,039 , and $ 2,089 at May 3, 2026, November 2, 2025, and April 27, 2025, respectively. The contract liability is reduced as the revenue is recognized. Revenue recognized from deferred revenue that was recorded as a contract liability at the beginning of the fiscal year was $ 163 and $ 176 during the three months and $ 428 and $ 373 during the six months ended May 3, 2026, and April 27, 2025, respectively.

The amount of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original duration greater than one year was $ 1,855 at May 3, 2026. The estimated revenue to be recognized by fiscal year follows: remainder of 2026 – $ 320 , 2027 – $ 591 , 2028 – $ 402 , 2029 – $ 254 , 2030 – $ 156 , 2031 – $ 87 , and later years – $ 45 . As permitted, we elected only to disclose remaining performance obligations with an original contract duration greater than one year. The contracts with an expected duration of one year or less are for sales to dealers and retail customers for equipment, service parts, repair services, and certain telematics services.

(7) INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 22.6 % and 23.1 % for the second quarter of 2026 and 2025, respectively, and 22.8 % and 17.5 % for the six months ended May 3, 2026, and April 27, 2025, respectively. The effective tax rate in the six months ended April 27, 2025 was impacted by favorable net discrete tax items (see Note 22).

(8) Segment DATA

Our operations are organized and reported in four business segments: Production & Precision Agriculture, Small Agriculture & Turf, Construction & Forestry, and Financial Services. This presentation is consistent with how the chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who also serves as the Chairman of the Board, assesses the performance of the segments and makes decisions regarding resource allocations. Each segment has a group president responsible for managing financial performance and executing strategic initiatives.

● Production & Precision Agriculture – PPA segment defines, develops, and delivers global equipment and technology solutions to unlock customer value for production-scale growers of large grains, small grains, cotton, and sugarcane.

● Small Agriculture & Turf – SAT segment defines, develops, and delivers global equipment and technology solutions to unlock customer value for dairy and livestock producers, high-value and small acreage crop producers, and turf and utility customers.

● Construction & Forestry – CF segment defines, develops, and delivers a broad range of machines and technology solutions organized along the earthmoving, forestry, and roadbuilding production systems.

The products and services produced by the segments above are primarily marketed through independent retail dealer networks and major retail outlets. For roadbuilding products in certain markets outside the U.S. and Canada, the products are sold through company-owned sales and service subsidiaries.

● Financial Services – FS segment finances sales and leases by John Deere dealers of new and used production and precision agriculture equipment, small agriculture and turf equipment, and construction and forestry equipment. In addition, the FS segment provides wholesale financing to dealers of the foregoing equipment, finances retail revolving charge accounts, and offers extended equipment warranties.

The CEO evaluates the performance of the business segments based on operating profit, which for FS includes interest income and interest expense, and on identifiable segment operating assets. Segment operating profit and operating assets are measured using accounting policies consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements. Because of integrated

14

manufacturing operations and common administrative and marketing support, a substantial number of allocations must be made to determine operating segment data. Intersegment transactions are primarily made between the FS segment and PPA, SAT, and CF segments, and are recognized at current market prices.

Total identifiable assets assigned to the equipment operations operating segments consist of assets actively managed by those segments, including trade receivables, inventories, property and equipment, other intangible assets, and certain other assets. Corporate assets are managed on a consolidated basis, including cash and cash equivalents, retirement benefit net assets, goodwill, and deferred income tax assets. Financial Services assets include cash and cash equivalents, retirement benefits, and deferred income tax assets that are managed by the segment.

(9) Financing Receivables

We monitor the credit quality of financing receivables based on delinquency status, defined as follows:

● Past due balances represent any payments 30 days or more past the due date.

● Non-performing financing receivables represent receivables for which we have stopped accruing finance income. This generally occurs when receivables are 90 days delinquent.

● Write-offs generally occur when receivables are 120 days delinquent. In these situations, the estimated uncollectible amount is written off to the allowance for credit losses.

The credit quality and aging analysis of retail notes, financing leases, and revolving charge accounts (collectively, retail customer receivables) by year of origination was as follows:

The allowance for credit losses on retail notes and financing lease receivables increased slightly in the second quarter and first six months of 2026, primarily due to higher expected losses on construction retail accounts.

Modifications

We occasionally grant contractual modifications to customers experiencing financial difficulties. Before offering a modification, we evaluate the ability of the customer to meet the modified payment terms. Finance charges continue to accrue during the deferral or extension period except for modifications related to bankruptcy proceedings. Our allowance for credit losses incorporates historical loss information, including the effects of loan modifications with customers. Therefore, additional adjustments to the allowance are generally not recorded upon modification of a loan.

The ending amortized cost of financing receivables modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty was as follows:

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
May 3 April 27 May 3 April 27
2026 2025 2026 2025
Modified financing receivables $ 54 $ 48 $ 117 $ 75
Percent of financing receivables portfolio 0.11 % 0.09 % 0.24 % 0.15 %

Modifications offered include payment deferrals, term extensions, or a combination thereof. The weighted-average effects for contract modifications were as follows in months:

Six Months Ended
May 3 April 27
2026 2025
Payment deferral 7 8
Term extension 11 11
Combination modifications:
Payment deferral 9 5
Term extension 18 8

We continue to monitor the performance of financing receivables that are modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty. The ending amortized cost and performance of financing receivables modified during the prior twelve months ended May 3, 2026, and April 27, 2025, were as follows:

May 3 ​ ​ ​ April 27
2026 2025
Current $ 174 $ 100
30-59 days past due 4 6
60-89 days past due 4 2
90+ days past due 3 1
Non-performing 21 14
Total $ 206 $ 123

Defaults and subsequent write-offs of loans modified in the prior twelve months were not significant during the three months and the six months ended May 3, 2026. In addition, at May 3, 2026, commitments to provide additional financing to these customers were not significant.

(10) Securitization of Financing Receivables

Our funding strategy includes receivable securitizations, which allows us to receive cash for financing receivables immediately. While these securitization programs are administered in various forms, they are accomplished in the following basic steps:

  1. We transfer financing receivables into a bankruptcy-remote special purpose entity (SPE).

  2. The SPE issues debt to investors. The debt is secured by the financing receivables.

  3. Investors are paid back based on cash receipts from the financing receivables.

As part of step 1, these receivables are legally isolated from the claims of our general creditors. This ensures cash receipts from the financing receivables are accessible to pay back securitization program investors. The structure of these transactions does not meet the accounting criteria for a sale of receivables. As a result, they are accounted for as secured borrowings. The receivables and borrowings remain on our balance sheet and are separately reported as “Financing receivables securitized – net” and “Short-term securitization borrowings,” respectively. SPEs are consolidated as VIEs when we have 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.

The components of securitization programs were as follows:

May 3 ​ ​ ​ November 2 ​ ​ ​ April 27
2026 2025 2025
Financing receivables securitized (retail notes) $ 6,138 $ 6,872 $ 7,812

(11) Inventories

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

May 3 ​ ​ November 2 ​ ​ April 27
2026 2025 2025

Finished goods and parts 6,119 5,769 5,615
Total FIFO value 10,865 10,127 10,109
Excess of FIFO over LIFO 2,677 2,721 2,239
Inventories $ 8,188 $ 7,406 $ 7,870

The 4.15 % notes due 2030 listed above were issued on October 9, 2025, by Deere Funding Canada Corporation (DFCC), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. These notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Deere & Company and, therefore, rank equally with all our outstanding notes and debentures. DFCC financial results were not material to our condensed consolidated financial statements or results of operations, and as a result, we have elected to exclude summarized financial information.

Medium-term notes due through 2034 are primarily offered by prospectus and issued at fixed and variable rates. All outstanding notes and debentures are senior unsecured borrowings and rank equally with each other.

The principal balances of the 4.15 % notes due 2030 and medium-term notes were as follows:

May 3 November 2 April 27
2026 2025 2025
4.15 % notes due 2030 $ 500 $ 500
Medium-term notes 32,956 34,241 $ 34,241

(16) Leases – Lessor

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

Lease revenues earned by us follow:

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
May 3 April 27 May 3 April 27

(17) Commitments and Contingencies

A standard warranty is provided as assurance that the equipment will function as intended. The standard warranty period varies by product and region. At the time a sale is recognized, we record an estimate of future warranty costs based on historical claims rate experience and estimated population under warranty.

The reconciliation of the changes in the warranty liability follows:

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
May 3 April 27 May 3 April 27
2026 2025 2026 2025
Beginning of period balance $ 1,311 ​ ​ $ 1,360 ​ ​ $ 1,259 ​ ​ $ 1,426
Warranty claims paid ( 294 ) ( 308 ) ( 593 ) ( 618 )
New product warranty accruals 318 227 660 483
Foreign exchange 1 18 10 6
End of period balance $ 1,336 $ 1,297 $ 1,336 $ 1,297

The costs for extended warranty programs are recognized as incurred.

In certain international markets, we provide guarantees to banks for the retail financing of John Deere equipment. As of May 3, 2026, the notional value of these guarantees was $ 137 . We may repossess the equipment collateralizing the receivables. At May 3, 2026, the accrued losses under these guarantees were not material. We also had guarantees to a VIE (see Note 1) totaling $ 172 at May 3, 2026.

We also had other miscellaneous contingent liabilities and guarantees totaling approximately $ 150 at May 3, 2026. The accrued liability for these contingencies was $ 40 at May 3, 2026.

At May 3, 2026, we had commitments of approximately $ 525 for the construction and acquisition of property and equipment. Also, at May 3, 2026, we had restricted assets of $ 297 , classified as “Other assets,” which includes restricted cash primarily related to securitization of financing receivables (see Note 10) and cash that is legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage.

We are subject to various unresolved legal actions. The total accrued losses on unresolved legal matters were approximately $ 175 at May 3, 2026. The accrual includes losses associated with a settlement agreement in a consolidated multidistrict class action antitrust lawsuit, which was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025. The accrual for all other matters is based on management’s best estimate of probable losses as the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. We believe the reasonably possible range of losses in excess of the recorded accruals for these unresolved legal actions would not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. The most prevalent legal claims relate to antitrust, product liability (including asbestos-related liability), employment, patent, and trademark matters.

(18) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair values of financial instruments that do not approximate the carrying values are presented in the table below. Long-term borrowings exclude finance lease liabilities.

May 3, 2026 November 2, 2025 April 27, 2025
Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value
Financing receivables – net $ 42,916 $ 42,969 $ 44,575 $ 44,779 $ 43,029 $ 43,119
Financing receivables securitized – net 6,100 6,113 6,831 6,855 7,765 7,710
Receivables from unconsolidated affiliates 279 282 392 400 557 557
Short-term securitization borrowings 5,929 5,948 6,596 6,631 7,562 7,588
Long-term borrowings due within one year 8,880 8,921 8,888 8,911 8,928 8,869
Long-term borrowings 42,183 41,842 43,471 43,527 42,742 42,423

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

Fair values of the financing receivables and receivables from unconsolidated affiliates that were issued long-term were based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by us for similar financing receivables or at current market interest rates. The fair values of the remaining financing receivables approximated the carrying amounts. At May 3, 2026 , and November 2, 2025 , we had $ 42 and $ 60 , respectively, marketable securities classified as held-to-maturity Level 2 international corporate debt securities. We record held-to-maturity marketable securities at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

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

24

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.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis, excluding our cash equivalents, which were carried at a cost that approximates fair value and consist of money market funds and time deposits, and excluding our held-to-maturity marketable securities, are as follows:

May 3 ​ ​ November 2 ​ ​ April 27

Accounts payable and accrued expenses – Derivatives 538 389 614
Level 3:
Accounts payable and accrued expenses – Deferred consideration 100 113 128

The mortgage-backed securities are primarily issued by U.S. government sponsored enterprises.

The contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities at May 3, 2026, follow:

​ ​ ​ Amortized ​ ​ ​ Fair
Cost Value
Due in one year or less $ 44 $ 44
Due after one through five years 388 385

Mortgage-backed securities 242 219
Debt securities $ 1,444 $ 1,381

Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some securities may be called or prepaid. Mortgage-backed securities contain prepayment provisions and are not categorized by contractual maturity.

Fair value, nonrecurring Level 3 measurements from impairments and other adjustments were as follows:

1 Related to assessments of our external overseas battery operations performed in the third quarter of 2025.

2 The gain on “Assets held for sale” recorded in the first quarter of 2025 represents a reversal of prior period valuation allowance loss, not in excess of the cumulative valuation allowance recorded on “Assets held for sale.”

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies we use to measure certain financial instruments on the balance sheets 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

25

curves, volatilities, credit risk, and prepayment speeds. Funds are valued using the fund’s net asset value, based on the fair value of the underlying securities.

Derivatives – Our derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate contracts (swaps), foreign currency exchange contracts (futures, forwards, and swaps), and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps). The portfolio is valued based on an income approach (discounted cash flow) using market observable inputs, including swap curves and both forward and spot exchange rates for currencies.

Deferred consideration – The total purchase price consideration for three former Deere-Hitachi joint venture factories acquired in 2022 included supply agreement price increases beyond inflation adjustments. This deferred consideration will be paid as we purchase Deere-branded excavators, components, and service parts from Hitachi under the agreement with a duration that ranges from 5 to 30 years after the acquisition date. The deferred consideration balance is reduced as purchases are made and valued on a discounted cash flow approach using market rates.

Property and equipment – net – The valuations were based on the cost approach. The inputs include reproduction cost estimates adjusted for physical deterioration and functional obsolescence.

Other intangible assets – net – The impairment of customer relationships and tradename of our external overseas battery operations was measured using an income approach.

Other assets (Investments in unconsolidated affiliates) – Other than temporary impairments of investments are measured as the difference between the implied fair value and the carrying value of the investments. The estimated fair value for privately held entities is determined by an income approach (discounted cash flows), which includes inputs such as interest rates and margins.

Assets held for sale – The disposal group was measured at the lower of the carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. Fair value was based on the probable sale price. The inputs included estimates of the final sale price (see Note 21). The gain recorded in 2025 represents a reversal of the prior period valuation allowance, not in excess of the cumulative valuation allowance recorded on “Assets held for sale.”

(20) Share-Based Awards

We are authorized to grant shares for equity incentive awards. The remaining shares authorized for future issuance were 12.2 million at May 3, 2026. In December 2025, we granted stock options to employees for the purchase of 161 thousand shares of common stock at an exercise price of $ 468.90 per share and a binomial lattice model fair value of $ 125.96 per share at the grant date. At May 3, 2026, options for 1.0 million shares were outstanding with a weighted-average exercise price of $ 363.65 per share.

During the six months ended May 3, 2026, the restricted stock units (RSUs) granted in thousands of shares and the weighted-average grant date fair values, using the closing price of our common stock on the grant date in dollars, follow:

Grant-Date
Fair Value

In March 2026, we granted performance/service-based awards to certain of our senior officers, which vest subject to the satisfaction of pre-established annual Shareholder Value Added targets during a five -fiscal year period beginning on November 3, 2025 and ending on October 27, 2030. Each fiscal year, a payout percentage ranging from zero to 175 % will be calculated and the five annual payout percentages will be averaged at the end of the performance period and used to calculate the number of common stock shares to be received. The awards include dividend equivalent payments.

(21) AcQUISITION AND Disposition

Acquisition

In February 2026, we acquired Tenna LLC (Tenna) to expand our technology solutions in the construction market. Tenna is a U.S. construction technology company that offers mixed-fleet equipment operations and asset tracking solutions. The purchase price, net of cash acquired of $ 1 , was $ 439 . The fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities of the acquired entity, which are based on information as of the acquisition date and available at May 3, 2026, follow:

February
2026
Trade accounts and notes receivable $ 23
Inventories 4
Goodwill 286
Other intangible assets 137
Other miscellaneous assets 3
Total assets $ 453
Accounts payable and accrued expenses $ 14
Total liabilities $ 14

The identifiable intangible assets were related to customer relationships, technology, and trade name with a weighted average amortization period of 10 years . The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. Tenna was assigned to the CF segment.

28

Disposition

In February 2025, we completed a transaction with Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bradesco), for Bradesco to invest and become a 50 % owner of our wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, BJD. Bradesco contributed capital directly to BJD. The transaction resulted in the deconsolidation of BJD in the second quarter of 2025. BJD finances retail and wholesale loans for agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment and was included in our Financial Services segment. BJD was a part of our Brazil operations which is considered an integrated single foreign entity.

We retained a 50 % equity interest in BJD, which was valued at the deconsolidation date at $ 362 based on the completed transaction with Bradesco and its amount of contributed capital. We are accounting for our investment in BJD using the equity method of accounting and results of its operations are reported in “Equity in income of unconsolidated affiliates.” The related investment in unconsolidated affiliates and receivables from unconsolidated affiliates are reported in “Other assets” and “Other receivables,” respectively, on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The major classes of the total assets and liabilities of BJD at the time of deconsolidation were as follows:

February
2025
Cash and cash equivalents $ 110
Trade accounts and notes receivable – net 119
Financing receivables – net 2,787
Deferred income taxes 33
Other miscellaneous assets 23
Valuation allowance ( 65 )
Total assets $ 3,007
Short-term borrowings $ 495
Accounts payable and accrued expenses 124
Long-term borrowings 1,241
Retirement benefits and other liabilities 1
Total liabilities $ 1,861
Total intercompany payables $ 781

At the time of deconsolidation in February 2025, the additional gain or loss was not significant. BJD was reclassified as held for sale in the third quarter of 2024.

Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows – Our noncash transactions as a result of the BJD deconsolidation in February 2025 include the derecognition of total assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents) of $ 2,897 and total liabilities of $ 1,861 , and the recognition of the investments in unconsolidated affiliates of $ 362 and receivables from unconsolidated affiliates (BJD intercompany payables) of $ 781 . The decrease in cash and cash equivalents resulting from the deconsolidation of BJD was recorded in other investing activities in the statements of consolidated cash flows.

(22) Special ItemS

Discrete Tax Items

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

Banco John Deere S.A.

In 2024, we entered into an agreement with Bradesco, for Bradesco to invest and become 50 % owner of our wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, BJD. The BJD business was reclassified as held for sale in 2024. At January 26, 2025, the valuation allowance on “Assets held for sale” decreased, resulting in a pretax and after-tax gain (reversal of previous losses not in excess of cumulative valuation allowance recorded on “Assets held for sale”) of $ 32 recorded in “Selling, administrative and general expenses” in the three months ended January 26, 2025, and presented in “Impairments and other adjustments” in the statements of consolidated cash flows.

In February 2025, Bradesco contributed capital equal to our equity investment in BJD. We retained a 50 % equity interest in BJD and are reporting the results as an equity investment in unconsolidated affiliates.

(23) Subsequent EventS

In May 2026, we entered into a retail note securitization transaction, resulting in $ 303 of secured borrowings.

On May 27, 2026 , a quarterly dividend of $ 1.62 per share was declared at the Board of Directors meeting, payable on August 10, 2026 , to stockholders of record on June 30, 2026 .

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All amounts are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified.

Overview

Organization

Deere & Company is a global leader in the production of agricultural, turf, construction, and forestry equipment and solutions. John Deere Financial provides financing for John Deere equipment, parts, services, and other inputs customers need to run their operations. Our operations are managed through the Production & Precision Agriculture (PPA), Small Agriculture & Turf (SAT), Construction & Forestry (CF), and Financial Services operating segments. References to “equipment operations” include PPA, SAT, and CF, while references to “agriculture and turf” include both PPA and SAT.

Trends and Economic Conditions

Industry Sales Outlook for Fiscal Year 2026 (in units)

Agriculture and Turf

Construction and Forestry

Company Trends

Our Leap Ambitions, a set of focused goals designed to guide the implementation of our Smart Industrial Operating Model, feature multi-year financial and operational goals, emphasizing the use of our differentiated equipment and service solutions, including automation, autonomy, digitalization, lifecycle solutions, and Solutions as a Service (SaaS).

Deeper integration of technology into equipment to enable customers to do more with less remains a persistent market trend. Customers seek to improve profitability, productivity, and sustainability by selecting our equipment and technology solutions. These technologies are incorporated into customer operations across the varied production systems that we serve. While we continue to benefit from the adoption of these technologies, revenue from SaaS products did not represent a significant percentage of our revenues in the periods presented.

Company Outlook for 2026

Large agriculture sales are expected to remain subdued in North America and to soften in South America resulting in decreased sales volume for PPA in 2026 compared to 2025. SAT and CF sales are expected to improve in 2026. Our net sales are expected to increase in 2026 compared to 2025, with the anticipated decline in PPA sales more than offset by improvements in CF and SAT.

Agriculture and Turf Industry Outlook for 2026

● Demand in the U.S. and Canada for large agriculture equipment is expected to decrease compared to 2025 levels driven by elevated farm input costs and ongoing global market uncertainty. These factors are expected to be partially offset by robust demand for commodities and tightening supply which are expected to support improvements in crop prices. In addition, government programs in the U.S. continue to support farmers’ short-term liquidity, and recent biofuel policy changes may help provide future demand for U.S. farmers.

● We expect small agricultural and turf equipment sales to be flat to up slightly from 2025 levels in the U.S. and Canada. The dairy and livestock market continues to maintain strong margins, supporting ongoing product demand. A modest recovery is anticipated in the turf sector following several years of contraction.

● In Europe, the industry is forecasted to be flat to up slightly. While elevated interest rates continue to influence purchasing decisions, customer profitability and equipment replacement activity remain relatively stable. The

30

crop farming sector continues to experience subdued conditions; however, favorable dairy market margins are expected to continue to provide ongoing support to overall industry demand.

● Demand in South America is expected to decrease. Although crop production and yields remain strong and crop prices have improved, high interest rates, elevated input costs, and a stronger Brazilian real are pressuring farm profitability and reducing near-term equipment demand.

● Industry sales in Asia are forecasted to be roughly flat, mainly driven by demand in India.

Construction and Forestry Industry Outlook for 2026

● Industry sales in the U.S. and Canada for construction and compact construction equipment are projected to be slightly higher compared to 2025. Favorable industry fundamentals, including strong customer backlogs supported by large projects, infrastructure investment, and data center construction activity, continue to offset softness in residential construction.

● Global forestry markets are expected to decrease slightly due to continued pressure from weak residential construction demand and lower log and lumber prices.

● Global roadbuilding markets are forecasted to be up compared to 2025 driven by increased road construction spending across multiple geographies.

Financial Services Outlook for 2026

Net Income Down
(–) Average portfolio Unfavorable
(–) Prior period special items Unfavorable
+ Financing spreads Favorable
+ Provision for credit losses Favorable

Additional Trends

Agricultural Market Business Cycle. The agricultural market is affected by various factors including commodity prices, acreage planted, crop yields, government policies, and uncertainty in macroeconomic trends. These factors affect farmers’ income and sentiment which may result in varying demand for our equipment. In 2026, we may experience the following effects due to unfavorable market conditions: lower sales volumes, higher sales incentives, and elevated receivable write-offs.

Global Trade Policies. In 2025, new tariffs were imposed in the U.S. for imports from a broad range of countries and on certain materials. Several countries also implemented retaliatory tariffs on imports from the U.S. and introduced additional trade barriers.

Incremental import tariffs adversely affected the cost of our products and components beginning in 2025 and continue to do so in 2026. The direct impact of these incremental tariffs incurred was $372 in the first six months of 2026, net of the tariff recovery described below, and approximately $95 in the first six months of 2025. These amounts exclude the impact of tariffs on our suppliers and market demand.

On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). On April 20, 2026, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) launched a system to process IEEPA tariff refund claims. Based on the eligibility parameters established by the CBP for the initial phase of the refund process, we prepared and filed a refund claim in the amount of $272, which has been accepted by the CBP. We recorded a recovery for this initial amount as we concluded the refund is probable and reasonably estimable. The recovery was allocated 20%, 30%, and 50% to PPA, SAT, and CF, respectively, decreasing cost of sales. Trade policies continue to evolve, causing uncertainty in the agriculture and construction industries. We are actively taking steps to mitigate potential impacts on our business, to the extent possible, including adjusting sourcing strategies, pursuing product exemptions, and identifying cost reduction opportunities.

Changes in the agricultural market business cycle and global trade policies are driven by factors outside of our control, and as a result, we cannot reasonably foresee when these conditions may subside.

Legal Proceeding – On January 15, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), along with the Attorneys General of the States of Illinois and Minnesota filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Western Division. The Attorneys General of the States of Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin joined the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges monopolization and unfair competition in violation of the federal and state antitrust laws. Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction and other equitable relief to allow owners of our equipment, as well as independent repair providers, access to our repair tools and any other repair resources available to authorized John Deere dealers. We are in discussions with the FTC and plaintiff states with respect to a potential resolution. At this stage, we are unable to estimate the potential impact on our business.

31

Other Items of Concern and Uncertainties – Other items that could impact our results are:

● slower economic growth and inflation

● global and regional political conditions

● shifts in energy, including positions with respect to biofuels, positions on government subsidies of farming, and changes in energy prices

● input costs, including the availability and price of fertilizers as a result of the conflict in the Middle East

● capital market disruptions

● foreign currency and capital control policies

● right to repair and agriculture data privacy regulations and legislation

● weather conditions

● marketplace pace of adoption and monetization of technologies we have invested in

● our ability to strengthen our digital capabilities, artificial intelligence, automation, and autonomy

● changes in demand and pricing for new and used equipment

● delays or disruptions in our supply chain

● significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates

● volatility in the prices of many commodities

Consolidated Results – 2026 Compared with 2025

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
Deere & Company May 3 April 27 % May 3 April 27 %
(In millions of dollars, except per share amounts) 2026 2025 Change 2026 2025 Change
Net sales and revenues $ 13,369 $ 12,763 +5 $ 22,981 $ 21,272 +8
Net income attributable to Deere & Company 1,773 1,804 -2 2,429 2,673 -9
Diluted earnings per share 6.55 6.64 8.97 9.82

Net sales and revenues increased 5% and 8% for the quarter and year-to-date periods, respectively, primarily due to higher sales volumes and the positive effects of foreign currency translation. Net income decreased $31 in the second quarter primarily due to the impact of lower PPA shipment volumes of $313 ($402 pretax), increased production costs of $122 ($157 pretax) from higher material costs, and higher warranty expenses of $64 ($82 pretax), partially offset by the impact of higher shipment volumes for CF of $148 ($191 pretax) and SAT of $79 ($101 pretax), favorable price realization of $131 ($169 pretax), and the favorable impact of foreign currency exchange of $107 ($138 pretax). Results for the first six months were also affected by favorable discrete tax items in the prior period (see Note 22) of $163. The discussion of net sales and operating profit is included in the Business Segment Results below.

An explanation of the cost of sales to net sales ratio and other significant statement of consolidated income changes follows:

Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
May 3 April 27 % May 3 April 27 %
Deere & Company 2026 2025 Change 2026 2025 Change
Cost of sales to net sales 70.2% 68.1% 73.5% 70.3%
• Material costs Unfavorable Unfavorable
• Tariffs, net of recoveries Favorable Unfavorable
• Production efficiencies Favorable Favorable
Increased mostly due to higher material costs as a result of inflationary pressures. Incremental tariffs affected both periods; however, tariff recoveries exceeded direct incremental tariff costs in the second quarter (see Global Trade Policies section in Additional Trends). Production efficiencies had a favorable impact resulting from increased manufacturing volumes for CF and SAT.
Other income $ 277 $ 238 +16 $ 544 $ 485 +12
Higher for both periods due to income earned from extended warranty premiums, higher service revenues, and a gain on the disposal of property.
Research and development expenses 583 549 +6 1,137 1,075 +6
Increased due to continued focus on developing and deploying technology solutions.
Interest expense 712 784 -9 1,431 1,614 -11
Decreased for both periods primarily due to lower average borrowing rates and lower average borrowings.
Other operating expenses 306 287 +7 556 536 +4
Increased for both periods due to higher depreciation of equipment on operating leases.
Provision for income taxes 518 539 -4 714 566 +26
Decreased for the three months ended as a result of lower pretax income. Increased for the six months ended due to the favorable impact on the prior period of discrete tax adjustments (see Note 22).

Financial Services 2026 2025 Change 2026 2025 Change
Revenue (including intercompany) $ 1,509 $ 1,501 +1 $ 2,997 $ 3,074 -3
Interest expense 649 721 -10 1,313 1,487 -12
Net income 190 161 +18 434 391 +11

Revenue for the first six months decreased primarily due to the deconsolidation of Banco John Deere S.A. (BJD) in the second quarter of 2025. The average balance of receivables and leases financed was 1% lower in the second quarter of 2026 and 2% lower in the first six months of 2026 compared with the same periods last year. Interest expense decreased as a result of lower average borrowing rates and lower average borrowings.

Net income for the quarter increased primarily due to favorable financing spreads and favorable derivative valuation adjustments, partially offset by the impact of a lower average portfolio. Net income in the first six months was also impacted by a lower provision for credit losses and the prior period benefiting from a special item (see Note 22).

Critical Accounting Estimates

See our critical accounting estimates discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies.

Capital Resources and Liquidity – 2026 Compared with 2025

We have access to global markets at a reasonable cost. Sources of liquidity include:

● cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities on hand

● funds from operations

● the issuance of commercial paper and term debt

● the securitization of retail notes

● bank lines of credit

We closely monitor our cash requirements. Based on the available sources of liquidity, we expect to meet our funding needs in the short term (next 12 months) and long term (beyond 12 months). We are forecasting operating cash flows from equipment operations in 2026 to remain flat compared with 2025 driven by an offsetting decrease in net income adjusted for non-cash provisions, and higher cash flows generated from higher accounts payable and accrued expenses and inventory reductions.

We operate in multiple industries, which have unique funding requirements. The equipment operations are capital intensive. Historically, these operations have been subject to seasonal variations in financing requirements for inventories and receivables from dealers.

The financial services operations rely on their ability to raise substantial amounts of funds to finance their receivable and lease portfolios.

Key metrics are provided in the following table:

Cash Flows

Six Months Ended
May 3, 2026 April 27, 2025
Net cash provided by operating activities $ 1,042 $ 568
Net cash provided by investing activities 93 779
Net cash used for financing activities (1,627) (821)
Effect of exchange rate changes on cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash 94 20
Net increase (decrease) in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash $ (398) $ 546

Cash inflows from consolidated operating activities in the first six months of 2026 were $1,042. This resulted mainly from net income adjusted for non-cash provisions, partially offset by an increase in receivables related to sales, an increase in inventories, a decrease in accrued employee profit-sharing incentives, and an OPEB contribution. Cash inflows from investing activities were $93 in the first six months of this year. The primary drivers were collections of receivables (excluding receivables related to sales) exceeding the cost of receivables acquired, partially offset by purchases of property and equipment and the acquisition of Tenna LLC (see Note 21). Cash outflows from financing activities were $1,627 in the first six months of 2026, due to cash returned to shareholders and lower external borrowings. Cash returned to shareholders was $1,378 in the first six months of 2026. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased $398 during the first six months of 2026.

Key Metrics and Balance Sheet Changes

Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable. Trade accounts and notes receivable arise from sales of goods to customers. Trade receivables increased $2,254 during the first six months of 2026, primarily due to a seasonal increase and higher sales volumes. These receivables increased $823 compared to a year ago due to higher sales volumes. The percentage of total worldwide trade receivables outstanding for periods exceeding 12 months was 1% at May 3, 2026, 3% at November 2, 2025, and 7% at April 27, 2025.

Financing Receivables and Equipment on Operating Leases. Financing receivables and equipment on operating leases consist of retail notes originated in connection with financing of new and used equipment, operating leases, revolving charge accounts, sales-type and direct financing leases, and wholesale notes. Financing receivables and equipment on operating leases decreased $2,476 during the first six months of 2026 and decreased $1,600 in the past 12 months. The decrease for both periods was due to lower agriculture and turf retail customer receivables reflecting reduced demand and lower wholesale receivables driven by lower dealer inventory levels. Total acquisition volumes of financing receivables and equipment on operating leases were 12% higher in the first six months of 2026, compared with the same period last year, as volumes of wholesale notes, and revolving charge accounts were higher compared to the same period last year.

Inventories. Inventories increased by $782 during the first six months of 2026 primarily due to a seasonal increase, and increased by $318 compared to a year ago. A majority of these inventories are valued at cost on the “last-in, first-out” (LIFO) method.

Property and Equipment. Property and equipment cash expenditures in the first six months of 2026 were $451 compared with $555 in the same period last year. Capital expenditures in 2026 are estimated to be approximately $1,400.

Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. Accounts payable and accrued expenses decreased by $256 in the first six months of 2026, primarily due to a decrease in accrued expenses associated with employee benefits partially offset by an increase in trade payables. Accounts payable and accrued expenses increased $308 compared to a year ago due to an increase in trade payables, partially offset by a decrease in accrued expenses associated with employee benefits.

Borrowings. Total external borrowings decreased by $114 in the first six months of 2026 and decreased $2,499 compared to a year ago, generally corresponding with the level of the receivable and lease portfolio, as well as other working capital requirements.

John Deere Capital Corporation (Capital Corporation), a U.S. financial services subsidiary, has a revolving warehouse facility to utilize bank conduit facilities to securitize retail notes (see Note 10). The facility was renewed in November 2025, with an expiration in November 2026, and total capacity or “financing limit” of $2,500. At May 3, 2026, $1,738 of securitization borrowings were outstanding under the facility. At the end of the contractual 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.

In the first six months of 2026, the financial services operations issued $1,439 and retired $2,108 of retail note securitization borrowings, which are presented in “Net proceeds (payments) in short-term borrowings (original maturities three months or less).”

38

Lines of Credit. We also have access to bank lines of credit with various banks throughout the world.

Worldwide lines of credit totaled $12.7 billion at May 3, 2026, consisting primarily of:

● a 364-day credit facility agreement of $5.5 billion expiring in the second quarter of 2027

● a credit facility agreement of $3.25 billion expiring in the second quarter of 2029

● a credit facility agreement of $3.25 billion expiring in the second quarter of 2031

At May 3, 2026, $5,947 of these worldwide lines of credit were unused. For the purpose of computing unused credit lines, commercial paper and short-term bank borrowings were considered to constitute utilization. These credit agreements require Capital Corporation and other parts of our business to maintain certain performance metrics and liquidity targets. All requirements in the credit agreements have been met during the periods included in the financial statements.

Debt Ratings. To access public debt capital markets, we rely on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings to our debt 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 our securities. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw ratings based on its assessment of our 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, reduced access to debt capital markets, and may adversely impact our liquidity. The senior long-term and short-term debt ratings and outlook currently assigned to unsecured company securities by the rating agencies engaged by us are as follows:

​ ​ ​ Senior ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​
Long-Term Short-Term Outlook
Fitch Ratings A+ F1 Stable
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. A1 Prime-1 Stable
Standard & Poor’s A A-1 Stable

SUPPLEMENTAL CONSOLIDATING DATA

The supplemental consolidating data presented on the subsequent pages is presented for informational purposes. Equipment operations represent the enterprise without Financial Services. Equipment operations include Production & Precision Agriculture operations, Small Agriculture & Turf operations, Construction & Forestry operations, and other corporate assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses not reflected within Financial Services. Transactions between the equipment operations and Financial Services have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated financial statements.

Equipment operations and Financial Services participate in different industries. Equipment operations primarily generate earnings and cash flows by manufacturing and selling equipment, service parts, and technology solutions to dealers and retail customers. Financial Services finance sales and leases by dealers of new and used equipment that is largely manufactured by equipment operations. Those earnings and cash flows generally are the difference between the finance income received from customer payments less interest expense, and depreciation on equipment subject to an operating lease. The two businesses are capitalized differently and have separate performance metrics. The supplemental consolidating data is also used by management due to these differences.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

See our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (Part II, Item 7A). There have been no material changes in this information.

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) were effective as of May 3, 2026, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Exchange Act. During the second quarter of 2026, there were no changes that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

On January 15, 2025, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), along with the Attorneys General of the States of Illinois and Minnesota, filed a lawsuit against us in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois Western Division. The Attorneys General of the States of Arizona, Michigan, and Wisconsin then joined the lawsuit. The lawsuit alleges monopolization and unfair competition in violation of federal and state antitrust laws. Plaintiffs seek a permanent injunction and other equitable relief to allow owners of our equipment, as well as independent repair providers, access to our repair tools and any other repair resources available to authorized John Deere dealers. On March 17, 2025, we filed a motion to dismiss the lawsuit, the FTC filed a response on April 28, 2025, and we filed a reply on May 28, 2025. A hearing was held on the motion to dismiss and the court denied the motion. We are in discussions with the FTC and plaintiff states with respect to a potential resolution. At this stage we are unable to predict the outcome or impact of this matter on our business.

In addition to the above, the most prevalent legal claims relate to product liability (including asbestos-related liability), employment, patent, trademark, and antitrust matters. Currently, we believe the reasonably possible range of losses for unresolved legal actions would not have a material effect on our financial statements; however, the outcome of any current or future proceedings, claims, or investigations cannot be predicted with certainty. Adverse decisions in one or more of these proceedings, claims, or investigations could require us to pay substantial damages or fines, undertake service actions, initiate recall campaigns, or take other costly actions. It is therefore possible that legal judgments or investigations could give rise to expenses that are not covered or not fully covered by our insurance programs and could affect our financial position and results.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

See our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (Part I, Item 1A). The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the “Forward-Looking Statements” in this report, are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties may also materially affect our business, financial condition, or operating results. One should not consider the risk factors to be a complete discussion of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions.

The maximum number of shares that may yet be purchased under this plan was 12.9 million based on the closing price of our common stock on the New York Stock Exchange as of the end of the second quarter of 2026 of $577.26 per share. At the end of the second quarter of 2026, $7.4 billion of common stock remains to be purchased under this plan.

2 In the second quarter of 2026 one thousand shares of common stock were acquired from a plan participant at a market price of $577.26 per share to pay payroll taxes on the vesting of restricted stock units.

Sales of Unregistered Equity Securities

During the second quarter of 2026, we issued 2,637 deferred stock units under the Deere & Company Nonemployee Director Stock Ownership Plan (“NEDSOP”) to nonemployee directors for their service on our Board of Directors. The deferred stock units convert to shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis following a termination of service as described in the plan. Deferred stock units and shares of common stock issued under the NEDSOP are exempt from registration pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Rule 506 of the SEC’s Regulation D thereunder.

On February 26, 2026, we distributed 5,900 shares of common stock to a participant account under the NEDSOP.
