Condensed Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
(1) Organization and Consolidation
Deere Company has been developing innovative solutions to help our customers become more profitable for 185 years. References to Deere Company, John Deere, Deere, or the Company include our consolidated subsidiaries, including our consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs). The Company is managed through the following operating segments: production and precision agriculture (PPA), small agriculture and turf (SAT), construction and forestry (CF), and financial services (FS). References to agriculture and turf include both production and precision agriculture and small agriculture and turf.
The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The third quarter ends for fiscal year 2022 and 2021 were July 31, 2022 and August 1, 2021, respectively. Both third quarters contained
Prior to fiscal year 2021, the operating results of the Wirtgen Group (Wirtgen) were incorporated into the Company’s consolidated financial statements using a one-month lag period. The reporting lag was eliminated resulting in one additional month of Wirtgen activity in both the first quarter and the year-to-date period of 2021. The effect was an increase to Net sales of $
As a result of recent acquisitions (see Note 19), the Company updated the presentation on the consolidated balance sheet to remove the following lines: Receivables from unconsolidated affiliates, Investments in unconsolidated affiliates, and Payables to unconsolidated affiliates. These balances are now immaterial to the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and have been reclassified into Other receivables, Other assets, and Accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively.
The Company consolidates certain VIEs related to retail note securitizations (see Note 9).
(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies and New Accounting Standards
Quarterly Financial Statements
The interim consolidated financial statements of Deere Company have been prepared by the Company, 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 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 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.
Use of Estimates in Financial Statements
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. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Revenue Recognition
New Accounting Standards
The Company closely monitors all Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other authoritative guidance. ASUs adopted in 2022 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, and ASUs to be adopted in future periods are being evaluated and at this point are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The allowance for credit losses increased in the third quarter and the first nine months of 2022 mainly due to higher reserves related to the events in Russia / Ukraine and higher portfolio balances. As part of the allowance setting process, the Company continues to monitor the economy, including potential impacts of inflation, commodity prices, and interest rates on portfolio performance and adjustments to the allowance are incorporated, as necessary.

(9) Securitization of Financing Receivables
As a part of its overall funding strategy, the Company periodically transfers certain 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). The structure of these transactions is such that the transfer of the retail notes 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.
The components of consolidated restricted assets, secured borrowings, and other liabilities related to secured borrowings in securitization transactions were as follows in millions of dollars:

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 product liability (including asbestos-related liability), retail credit, employment, patent, trademark, and antitrust 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.
(16) 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.

Fair value measurements above were Level 3 for all financing receivables and Level 2 for all borrowings.
Fair values of the financing 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 financing receivables. 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.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in millions of dollars follow, excluding the Company’s cash equivalents, which were carried at cost that approximates fair value and consisted primarily of money market funds and time deposits.

The contractual maturities of debt securities at July 31, 2022 in millions of dollars are shown below. Actual maturities may differ from contractual maturities because some securities may be called or prepaid. Because of the potential for prepayment on mortgage-backed securities, they are not categorized by contractual maturity. Mortgage-backed securities were primarily issued by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises. Unrealized losses of debt securities at July 31, 2022 were not recognized in income due to the ability and intent to hold to maturity.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure certain balance sheet items at fair value:
Marketable securities – The portfolio of investments is primarily 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 primarily valued using the fund’s net asset value, based on the fair value of the underlying securities.
Derivatives – The Company’s 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). Inputs include a selection of realizable values.
Inventories – The service parts inventory impairment was based on net realizable value, less reasonably predictable selling and disposal costs.
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.
Other intangible assets – net – The Company considered external valuations based on the Company’s probability weighted cash flow analysis.
Other assets – The impairments were measured at the fair value of the right of use operating lease asset.
(17) 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’s financial services operations manage the relationship of the types and amounts of their funding sources to their receivable and lease portfolio in an effort to
23
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 exposures for sales incentive programs.
All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. Cash collateral received or paid is not offset against the derivative fair values on the balance sheet. The cash flows from these contracts 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 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 July 31, 2022, October 31, 2021, and August 1, 2021 were $

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. The aggregate fair value of all derivatives with

credit-risk-related contingent features that were in a net liability position at July 31, 2022, October 31, 2021, and August 1, 2021, was $

Kreisel Acquisition
On February 7, 2022, the Company acquired majority ownership in Kreisel Electric Inc. (Kreisel), a pioneer in the development of immersion-cooled battery technology. The Austrian company manufactures high-density, high-durability electric battery modules and packs for high-performance and off-highway applications and has created a battery-buffered, high-powered charging infrastructure platform.
The transaction includes a call option to purchase the remaining ownership interest in Kreisel in 2027. The minority interest holders also have a put option that would require the Company to purchase the holder’s ownership interest in 2027. The put and call options cannot be separated from the noncontrolling interest. Due to the redemption features, the minority interest is classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

Acquisition of Excavator Factories
On February 28, 2022, the Company acquired full ownership of three former Deere-Hitachi joint venture factories and began new license and supply agreements with Hitachi Construction Machinery (Hitachi). The two companies also ended their joint venture manufacturing and marketing agreements. The former joint venture factories will continue to manufacture Deere-branded construction excavators and forestry equipment. Through a new supply agreement with Hitachi, Deere will continue to offer a full portfolio of excavators. Deere’s marketing arrangement for Hitachi-branded construction excavators and mining equipment in the Americas has ended with Hitachi assuming distribution and support of these products. John Deere dealers may continue to support their existing field population of Hitachi-branded excavators.
With the completion of this acquisition, the Company now has complete control over its excavator design, product, and feature updates, making it possible to more rapidly respond to customer requirements and integrate excavators with other construction products in the John Deere product portfolio. The Company can leverage technology developed for other product lines and production systems across the enterprise and extend those advanced solutions to Deere-designed excavators, strengthening the entire product portfolio.

Prior to the acquisition, the Company purchased Deere and Hitachi-branded excavators, components, and parts from the Deere-Hitachi joint venture factories for sale to John Deere dealers. These purchases were included in Cost of sales, while the sales to John Deere dealers were included in Net sales. Cost of sales also included profit-sharing payments to Hitachi in accordance with the previous marketing agreements. Following the acquisition, Net sales will only include the sale of Deere-branded excavators to John Deere dealers, while Cost of sales will reflect market pricing to purchase and manufacture excavators, as well as the related components and service parts.
The preliminary fair values assigned to the assets and liabilities of the acquired factories in millions of dollars, which are based on information as of the acquisition date and available at July 31, 2022, follows:

2022 Special Items
Impact of Events in Russia / Ukraine
The events in Russia / Ukraine have resulted in the Company suspending shipments of machines and service parts to Russia. The Company manufactures and markets equipment in Russia / Ukraine, and provides financial services in Russia. As of July 31, 2022, the Company’s net exposure in Russia / Ukraine was approximately $
The suspension of shipments to Russia will reduce forecasted revenue for the region, which makes it probable future cash flows will not cover the carrying value of certain assets. The accounting consequences during the second quarter of 2022 were impairments of most long-lived assets, an increase in reserves of certain financial assets, and an accrual for various contractual uncertainties. No significant reserves were established on trade receivables or complete goods inventory, as the Company continues to experience strong payment performance and requires prepayment of existing inventories. During the third quarter of 2022, the Company initiated a voluntary employee-separation program, updated reserves on assets, and reassessed accruals for contractual uncertainties. The Russian government has imposed certain restrictions on companies’ abilities to repatriate or remit cash from their Russian-based operations to locations outside of Russia. Cash in excess of what is required to fund operations in Russia has been reclassified as restricted and recorded in Other assets. The Company continues to closely monitor all financial risks to its operations in the region.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Overview
Organization
The Company generates net sales primarily from the sale of equipment to John Deere dealers and distributors. The Company manufactures and distributes a full line of agricultural equipment; a variety of commercial and consumer equipment; and a broad range of equipment for construction, roadbuilding, and forestry. These operations are managed through the production and precision agriculture, small agriculture and turf, and construction and forestry operating segments. The Company’s financial services segment primarily provides credit services, which mainly finance sales and leases of equipment by John Deere dealers.
Trends and Economic Conditions for Fiscal Year 2022
Industry sales of large agricultural machinery in the U.S. and Canada are expected to be up about 15 percent. Industry sales of small agriculture and turf equipment in the U.S. and Canada are expected to be flat. Industry sales of agricultural machinery in Europe are forecast to be flat. In South America, industry sales of tractors and combines are projected to be up about 10 to 15 percent. Asia industry sales of agricultural machinery are forecast to be down moderately. Construction equipment industry sales in the U.S. and Canada are expected to increase about 10 percent, while compact construction equipment industry sales in the U.S. and Canada are anticipated to be flat to down 5 percent. Forestry global industry equipment sales are expected to be flat to down 5 percent. Global roadbuilding equipment industry sales are forecasted to be flat to up 5 percent. Net income for the Company’s financial services operations is expected to be slightly lower than fiscal year 2021 due to a higher provision for credit losses, less-favorable financing spreads, and higher selling, administrative, and general expenses. These factors are expected to be partially offset by income earned on a higher average portfolio.
Items of concern include global and regional political conditions, economic and trade policies, inflationary pressures, the ongoing pandemic, capital market disruptions, changes in demand and pricing for new and used equipment, and the other items discussed in the “Forward-Looking Statements” below. Significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, volatility in the prices of many commodities, and supply chain disruptions could also impact the Company’s results.
The Company’s third quarter results reflect increased factory output and shipments to customers while supply chain pressures endure. Also during the third quarter, the Company experienced higher costs and production inefficiencies from these supply chain pressures. The Company is confident favorable conditions will continue into fiscal year 2023 based on strong underlying fundamentals and customer responses to early-order programs. The Company’s factories and suppliers are also preparing for higher levels of customer demand in 2023. Additionally, the Company believes the smart industrial operating model and recently announced leap ambitions will create value for customers through the Company’s advanced technologies and solutions.
Impact of Events in Russia / Ukraine
The events in Russia / Ukraine have impacted the safety, welfare, and well-being of the Company’s employees in the region. The Company’s top priority is to support and maintain close communication with its affected teams, providing necessary resources when possible. The Company has suspended shipments of machines and service parts to Russia. These events are impacting business continuity, liquidity, and asset values for the Company’s operations in Russia / Ukraine (see Note 20).

The cost of sales to net sales ratio increased in the third quarter and the first nine months of fiscal 2022 primarily due to higher production costs partially offset by price realization. Other income decreased in the third quarter due to a prior period gain on sale of a closed factory in China. Other income increased in the first nine months due to a non-cash gain on the remeasurement of the previously held equity investment in the Deere-Hitachi joint venture. Research and development expenses were higher for both periods due to continued focus on developing and incorporating technology solutions. Selling, administrative, and general expenses increased in the third quarter and the first nine months primarily due to a higher provision for credit losses, including higher reserves due to the events in Russia / Ukraine, as well as a higher merit pay increase due to inflationary conditions. Other operating expenses decreased in the third quarter and the first nine months primarily due to lower depreciation of equipment on operating leases, while lower retirement benefit costs impacted the first nine months. The provision for income taxes increased in the third quarter due to higher pretax income and unfavorable discrete income-tax adjustments.

Production and precision agriculture sales increased for the quarter due to higher shipment volumes and price realization, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency translation. Operating profit rose primarily due to price realization and higher shipment volumes / sales mix. These items were partially offset by higher production costs, higher selling, administrative, and general expenses, increased research and development expenses, and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency exchange.
Sales for the first nine months increased mainly as a result of higher shipment volumes and price realization. Operating profit for the first nine months increased primarily resulting from price realization, higher sales volume / mix, and the favorable effects of foreign currency exchange. Partially offsetting these factors were higher production costs, higher research and development and selling, administrative, and general expenses, the UAW contract ratification bonus, and the impact of impairments related to events in Russia / Ukraine. The prior year was also impacted by a favorable indirect tax ruling in Brazil.

These items were partially offset by price realization and higher sales volumes. Results for the prior period included a gain on the sale of a closed factory in China that had produced small agricultural equipment.
Sales for the first nine months increased mainly as a result of price realization and higher shipment volumes, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency translation. Operating profit for the first nine months decreased primarily resulting from higher production costs and higher selling, administrative, and general and research and development expenses. Partially offsetting these factors was price realization. Results for the prior period included a gain on the sale of a closed factory in China that had produced small agricultural equipment.

While the average balance of receivables financed increased 9 percent in the third quarter and 8 percent in the first nine months of 2022 compared with the same periods last year, revenues increased 2 percent in the third quarter and were unchanged in the first nine months. Lower operating lease revenue partially offset the higher average receivable balances in both periods. Interest expense increased in the third quarter due to higher average borrowing rates and higher average borrowings. Interest expense decreased in the first nine months of 2022 primarily as a result of non-designated derivative gains, partially offset by higher average borrowings. Net income decreased for the quarter mainly due to unfavorable discrete income-tax adjustments, a higher provision for credit losses, and lower gains on operating lease residual values. These items were partially offset by income earned on a higher average portfolio. Results for the first nine months decreased slightly due to a higher provision for credit losses, partially offset by income earned on higher average portfolio balances.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
Sources of Liquidity, including Key Metrics and Balance Sheet Data
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 in the short term and long term. Sources of liquidity for 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 operates in multiple industries, which have different funding requirements. The production and precision agriculture, small agriculture and turf, and construction and forestry segments are capital intensive and are subject to seasonal variations in financing requirements for inventories and certain receivables from dealers. The financial services operations rely on their ability to raise substantial amounts of funds to finance their receivable and lease portfolios. The key metrics are provided in the following table, in millions of dollars:
July 31 | October 31 | August 1 | ||||||||
2022 | 2021 | 2021 | ||||||||
Cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities | $ | 5,078 | $ | 8,745 | $ | 8,207 | ||||

Financial Services: | ||||||||||
Ratio of interest-bearing debt to stockholder’s equity | 8.2 to 1 | 7.8 to 1 | 7.6 to 1 | |||||||
Due to the uncertainties around the COVID-19 pandemic, the Company temporarily increased its cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities target beginning in March 2020. The reduction in unused credit lines compared to both prior periods relates to an increase in commercial paper outstanding to fund growth in the receivable portfolio. The Company expects to generate excess operating cash flows in 2022, as evidenced by the common stock dividend increase declared on May 25, 2022, and $2,477 million of share repurchases during the first nine months of 2022. As the underlying fundamentals remain strong in the Company’s operating segments, the Company expects to generate long-term cash flows.

There have been no material changes to the contractual and other cash requirements identified in the Company’s most recently issued Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Cash inflows from operating activities in the first nine months of 2022 were $418 million. This resulted mainly from net income adjusted for non-cash provisions, partially offset by a working capital change and a $1,000 million voluntary contribution to a U.S. OPEB plan. Cash outflows from investing activities were $4,430 million in the first nine months of 2022. The primary drivers were growth in the retail customer receivable portfolio; purchases of property and equipment; acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired; and a change in collateral on derivatives – net. Cash inflows from financing activities were $515 million in the first nine months of 2022, as higher external borrowings of $3,970 million were mainly offset by repurchases of common stock and dividends paid. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased $3,640 million during the first nine months of this year as the Company lowered its targeted cash balance, as previously noted.
Cash and Marketable Securities Held by Foreign Subsidiaries. The total cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was $2,713 million, $5,817 million, and $5,690 million at July 31, 2022, October 31, 2021, and August 1, 2021, respectively. During the first nine months of 2022, the Company’s foreign subsidiaries returned $4,460 million of cash and cash equivalents to the U.S.
Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable. Trade accounts and notes receivable primarily arise from sales of goods to dealers. Trade receivables increased $2,488 million during the first nine months of 2022, primarily due to a seasonal increase and higher overall demand, partially offset by the effect of foreign currency translation. These receivables increased $1,428 million, compared to a year ago, primarily due to higher overall demand partially offset by the effect of foreign currency translation. The percentage of total worldwide trade receivables outstanding for periods exceeding 12 months was 1 percent at July 31, 2022, 1 percent at October 31, 2021, and 2 percent at August 1, 2021.
Financing Receivables and Equipment on Operating Leases. These receivables and leases primarily 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 increased $1,305 million during the first nine months of 2022 and increased $2,919 million in the past 12 months primarily due to higher equipment sales. Total acquisition volumes of financing receivables and equipment on operating leases were 2 percent higher in the first nine months of 2022, compared with the same period last year, as volumes of revolving charge accounts, retail notes, and operating leases were higher, while volumes of financing leases and wholesale notes were lower.
Inventories. Inventories increased by $2,340 million during the first nine months of 2022 and increased by $2,711 million compared to a year ago. The higher levels in both periods are due to increased overall demand and the impact of supply chain disruptions, partially offset by foreign currency translation.
Property and Equipment. Property and equipment cash expenditures in the first nine months of 2022 were $596 million, compared with $492 million in the same period last year. Capital expenditures in 2022 are estimated to be approximately $1,100 million.
Borrowings. Total external borrowings have changed generally corresponding with the level of the receivable and the lease portfolio, as well as the level of cash and cash equivalents.
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 9). The facility was renewed in November 2021 with an expiration in November 2022 and a reduction of the total capacity or “financing limit” from $2,000 million to $1,000 million. As a result of the reduced capacity, Capital Corporation repurchased $511 million of outstanding short-term securitization borrowings in November 2021, in addition to the normal payments collected on the retail notes. At July 31, 2022, $891 million of securitization borrowings was 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.
37
In the first nine months of 2022, the Company issued $2,669 million and retired $2,343 million of retail note securitization borrowings, which are presented in Increase in total short-term borrowings on the statements of consolidated cash flows. In April 2022, the Company issued $600 million of sustainability-linked medium-term notes with an initial interest rate of 3.35 percent, which are due in 2029. This transaction supports the Company’s commitment to environmental sustainability by linking financing to the achievement of its ambitious and comprehensive environmental, social, and governance (ESG) targets. Failure to meet the stated sustainability performance target will result in a 25-basis point increase to the interest rate payable on the 2029 notes from and including April 2026.
Lines of Credit. The Company also has access to bank lines of credit with various banks throughout the world. Worldwide lines of credit totaled $8,427 million at July 31, 2022, $1,957 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, were primarily considered to constitute utilization. Included in the total credit lines at July 31, 2022 was a 364-day credit facility agreement of $3,000 million expiring in the second quarter of 2023. In addition, total credit lines included long-term credit facility agreements of $2,500 million expiring in the second quarter of 2026 and $2,500 million expiring in the second quarter of 2027. These credit agreements require Capital Corporation and other parts of the Company to maintain certain performance metrics and liquidity targets. All of these credit agreement requirements have been met during the periods included in the financial statements.
Debt Ratings. 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 as follows:
| Senior |

Subsequent Events
On August 16, 2022, the U.S. federal government enacted the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The bill contains numerous tax provisions, including a 15 percent corporate minimum tax. The Company has not yet completed its analysis of the newly enacted tax legislation. At this point, however, this legislation is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
On August 31, 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $1.13 per share payable November 8, 2022 to stockholders of record on September 30, 2022.
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements contained herein, including in the section entitled “Overview” relating to future events, expectations, and trends constitute “forward-looking statements” as defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and involve factors that are subject to change, assumptions, risks, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially. Some of these risks and uncertainties could affect all lines of the Company’s operations generally while others could more heavily affect a particular line of business.
Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and current assumptions, expectations, and projections about future events and should not be relied upon. Except as required by law, the Company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements. Further information concerning the Company and its businesses, including factors that could materially affect the Company’s financial results, is included in the Company’s other filings with the SEC (including, but not limited to, the factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q).
38
Factors Affecting All Lines of Business
All of the Company’s businesses and their results are affected by general global macroeconomic conditions, including but not limited to inflation, including rising costs for materials used in our production, slower growth or recession, higher interest rates and currency fluctuations which could adversely affect the U.S. dollar and customer confidence, and customer access to capital and overall demand for our products; delays or disruptions in the Company’s supply chain, including work stoppages or disputes by suppliers with their unionized labor; shipping delays; government spending and taxing; changes in weather and climate patterns; the political and social stability of the markets in which the Company operates; the effects of, or response to, wars and other conflicts, including the current military conflict between Russia and Ukraine; natural disasters; and the spread of major epidemics or pandemics (including the COVID-19 pandemic). The sustainability of economic recovery from COVID-19 remains unclear and significant volatility could continue for a prolonged period.
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 our access to or terms of future funding, which could reduce the Company’s earnings and cash flows. A debt crisis in Europe, Latin America, or elsewhere could negatively impact currencies, global financial markets, funding sources and costs, asset and obligation values, customers, suppliers, and demand for equipment. The Company’s investment management activities could be impaired by changes in the equity, bond, and other financial markets, which would negatively affect earnings.
Additional factors that could materially affect the Company’s operations, financial condition, and results include changes in governmental trade, banking, monetary, and fiscal policies, including policies and tariffs for the benefit of certain industries or sectors; actions by environmental, health, and safety regulatory agencies, including those related to engine emissions, carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions, and the effects of climate change; changes to GPS radio frequency bands and their permitted uses; changes to accounting standards; changes to and compliance with economic sanctions and export controls laws and regulations (including those in place for Russia); and compliance with evolving U.S. and foreign laws when expanding to new markets and otherwise.
Other factors that could materially affect the Company’s results and operations include security breaches, cybersecurity attacks, technology failures, and other disruptions to the information technology infrastructure of the Company and its suppliers and dealers; security breaches with respect to the Company’s products; the loss of or challenges to intellectual property rights; the availability and prices of strategically sourced materials, components, and whole goods; introduction of legislation that could affect the Company’s business model and intellectual property, such as so-called right to repair or right to modify legislation; events that damage the Company’s reputation or brand; significant investigations, claims, lawsuits, or other legal proceedings; the success or failure of new product initiatives or business strategies; changes in product preferences, sales mix, and take rates of products and life cycle solutions; gaps or limitations in rural broadband coverage, capacity, and speed needed to support technology solutions; oil and energy prices, supplies, and volatility; the availability and cost of freight; actions of competitors in the various industries in which the Company competes, particularly price discounting; dealer practices, especially as to levels of new and used field inventories; changes in demand and pricing for used equipment and resulting impacts on lease residual values; the inability to deliver precision technology and agricultural solutions to customers; labor relations and contracts, including work stoppages and other disruptions; changes in the ability to attract, develop, engage, and retain qualified personnel; and the integration of acquired businesses.
Production Precision Agriculture and Small Agriculture Turf Operations
The Company’s agricultural equipment operations are subject to a number of uncertainties, including certain factors that affect farmers’ confidence and financial condition. These factors include demand for agricultural products; world grain stocks; soil conditions; harvest yields; prices for commodities and livestock; availability and cost of fertilizer; availability of transport for crops; the growth and sustainability of non-food uses for some crops (including ethanol and biodiesel production); real estate values; available acreage for farming; changes in government farm programs and policies; changes in and effects of crop insurance programs; changes in environmental regulations and their impact on farming practices; animal diseases and their effects on poultry, beef, and pork consumption and prices on livestock feed demand; and crop pests and diseases.
Production and Precision Agriculture Operations
The production and precision agriculture operations rely in part on hardware and software, guidance, connectivity and digital solutions, and automation and machine intelligence. Many factors contribute to the Company’s precision agriculture sales and results, including the impact to customers’ profitability and/or sustainability outcomes;
39
availability of technological innovations; speed of research and development; effectiveness of partnerships with third parties; and the dealer channel’s ability to support and service precision technology solutions.
Small Agriculture and Turf Equipment
Factors affecting the Company’s small agriculture and turf equipment operations include customer profitability; consumer purchasing preferences; housing starts and supply; infrastructure investment; spending by municipalities and golf courses; and consumable input costs.
Construction and Forestry
Factors affecting the Company’s construction and forestry equipment operations include real estate and housing prices; the number of housing starts; commodity prices such as oil and gas; the levels of public and non-residential construction; and investment in infrastructure. Prices for pulp, paper, lumber, and structural panels affect sales of forestry equipment.
John Deere Financial
The liquidity and ongoing profitability of John Deere Capital Corporation and the Company’s other financial services subsidiaries depend on timely access to capital to meet future cash flow requirements, and to fund operations, costs, and purchases of the Company’s products. If general economic conditions deteriorate or capital markets become more volatile, 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 write-offs and provisions for credit losses.
Supplemental Consolidating Information
The supplemental consolidating data presented on the subsequent pages is presented for informational purposes. The equipment operations represent the enterprise without financial services. The equipment operations include the Company’s production and precision agriculture operations, small agriculture and turf operations, construction and forestry operations, and other corporate assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses not reflected within financial services. Transactions between the equipment operations and financial services have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated financial statements.
The equipment operations and financial services participate in different industries. The 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 primarily finances sales and leases by dealers of new and used equipment that is largely manufactured by the Company. 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. These 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 the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report 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 (the Exchange Act)) were effective as of July 31, 2022, 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 third quarter of 2022, there were no 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
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 product liability (including asbestos-related liability), retail credit, employment, patent, trademark, and antitrust 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.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
See the Company’s most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K (Part I, Item 1A). There has been no material change in this information. The risks described in the Annual Report on Form 10-K, and the “Forward-Looking Statements” 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.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
