John Deere Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries

Condensed Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1)  Organization and Consolidation

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

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

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The first quarter ends for fiscal year 2020 and 2019 were February 2, 2020 and January 27, 2019, respectively. Both periods contained 13 weeks.

(2)  New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards Adopted

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

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

New Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which establishes ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU revises the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost from an incurred loss to an expected loss methodology. The ASU affects receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The ASU will be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach. The Company is developing models to estimate expected credit losses, assessing appropriate assumptions, designing new procedures and controls, and evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which amends ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. This ASU requires customers in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to evaluate the implementation costs of the hosting arrangement using the guidance to develop internal-use software. The project development stage determines the implementation costs that are capitalized or expensed. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the service arrangement and are presented in the same income statement line item as the service contract costs. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the ASU on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The effective dates for the separate portions of the ASU and the expected effect on the consolidated financial statements are as follows for the portions that have not yet been adopted: (1) clarifications to ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, which is under evaluation, and (2) clarifications to ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, which will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes. This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by modifying the treatment of intraperiod tax allocation in certain circumstances, eliminating an exception to recognizing deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences for foreign equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries when ownership or control changes, and modifying interim period tax calculations when a loss is forecast. In addition, the ASU also provides guidance for the accounting of a franchise tax that is partially based on income, requires that enacted changes in tax laws or rates be included in the annual effective rate determination in the period that includes the enactment date, and clarifies the tax accounting of a step up in tax basis of goodwill. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with early adoption permitted. The guidance related to the foreign equity method investments, foreign subsidiaries, and franchise taxes will be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach. The remaining provisions will be adopted prospectively. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

(4)  Receivables

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

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

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

Receivables are considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Receivables reviewed for impairment generally include those that are either past due, or have provided bankruptcy notification, or require significant collection efforts. Receivables that are impaired are generally classified as non performing.

A troubled debt restructuring is generally the modification of debt in which a creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a debtor that is experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications may include a reduction of the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity dates, a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or a reduction of accrued interest. During the first three months of 2020, the Company identified 73 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, as troubled debt restructurings with aggregate balances of $2.2 million pre-modification and $2.0 million post-modification. During the first three months of 2019, there were 64 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, with aggregate balances of $1.5 million pre-modification and $1.4 million post-modification. During these same periods, there were no significant troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted and were written off. At February 2, 2020, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose accounts were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

(5)  Securitization of Receivables

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

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

In certain securitizations, the Company consolidates the SPEs since it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPEs’ economic performance through its role as servicer of all the Receivables held by the SPEs and the obligation through variable interests in the SPEs to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. The restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of the consolidated SPEs totaled $2,490.1 million, $2,894.4 million, and $2,136.8 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) of these SPEs totaled $2,442.1 million, $2,847.2 million, and $2,091.8 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. The credit holders of these SPEs do not have legal recourse to the Company’s general credit.

In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes to non-VIE banking operations, which are not consolidated since the Company does not have a controlling interest in the entities. The Company’s carrying values and interests related to the securitizations with the unconsolidated non-VIEs were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of $596.6 million, $447.0 million, and $722.8 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. The liabilities

16

(securitization borrowings and accrued interest) were $567.3 million, $420.5 million, and $676.0 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively.

In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes into bank-sponsored, multi-seller, commercial paper conduits, which are SPEs that are not consolidated. The Company does not service a significant portion of the conduits’ receivables, and therefore, does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the conduits’ economic performance. These conduits provide a funding source to the Company (as well as other transferors into the conduit) as they fund the retail notes through the issuance of commercial paper. The Company’s carrying values and variable interest related to these conduits were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of $1,440.5 million, $1,079.2 million, and $1,745.2 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) related to these conduits were $1,369.7 million, $1,015.2 million, and $1,632.4 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively.

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

	February 2
	2020
Carrying value of liabilities	$	1,369.7
Maximum exposure to loss		1,440.5

The total assets of unconsolidated VIEs related to securitizations were approximately $41.1 billion at February 2, 2020.

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

	February 2		November 3		January 27
	2020		2019		2019
Retail notes securitized	$	4,443.7	$	4,349.6	$	4,505.9
Allowance for credit losses		(7.9)		(11.2)		(10.1)
Other assets		91.4		82.2		109.0
Total restricted securitized assets	$	4,527.2	$	4,420.6	$	4,604.8

The components of consolidated secured borrowings and other liabilities related to securitizations were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	February 2		November 3		January 27
	2020		2019		2019
Securitization borrowings	$	4,373.9	$	4,277.0	$	4,397.1
Accrued interest on borrowings		5.2		5.9		3.1
Total liabilities related to restricted securitized assets	$	4,379.1	$	4,282.9	$	4,400.2

The secured borrowings related to these restricted securitized retail notes are obligations that are payable as the retail notes are liquidated. Repayment of the secured borrowings depends primarily on cash flows generated by the restricted assets. Due to the Company's short-term credit rating, cash collections from these restricted assets are not required to be placed into a segregated collection account until immediately prior to the time payment is required to the secured creditors. At February 2, 2020, the maximum remaining term of all restricted securitized retail notes was approximately seven years.

The Company’s restricted cash held at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, January 27, 2019, and October 28, 2018 was $86.5 million, $78.3 million, $87.0 million and $103.4 million, respectively. The

17

restricted cash primarily relates to the securitization of receivables and is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the statement of consolidated cash flows.

(6)  Leases

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

Initial lease terms generally range from less than one year to seven years. Leases offered by the Company may include early termination and renewal options. At the end of a lease, the lessee generally has the option to purchase the underlying equipment for a fixed price or return it to the dealer. If the equipment is returned to the dealer, the dealer also has the option to purchase the equipment or return it to the Company for remarketing.

The Company estimates the residual values for operating leases at lease inception based on several factors, including lease term, expected hours of usage, historical wholesale sale prices, return experience, intended use of the equipment, market dynamics and trends, and dealer residual guarantees. The Company reviews residual value estimates during the lease term and tests the carrying value of its operating lease assets for impairment when events or circumstances necessitate. The depreciation is adjusted on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term if residual value estimates decline. Lease agreements include usage limits and specifications on machine condition, which allow the Company to assess lessees for excess use or damages to the underlying equipment.

The Company has elected to combine lease and nonlease components. The nonlease components primarily relate to preventative maintenance and extended warranty agreements financed by the customer. The Company has also elected to report consideration related to sales and value added taxes net of the related tax expense. Property taxes on leased assets are recorded on a gross basis in lease revenues and administrative and operating expenses on the statement of consolidated income. Variable lease revenues primarily relate to separately invoiced property taxes on leased equipment in certain markets and late fees.

Lease revenues earned by the Company were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	Three Months Ended
	February 2, 2020
Sales-type and direct financing lease revenues	$	11.6
Operating lease revenues		258.5
Variable lease revenues		4.8
Total lease revenues	$	274.9

At the time of accepting a lease that qualifies as a sales-type or direct financing lease, the Company records the gross amount of lease payments receivable, estimated residual value of the leased equipment, and unearned finance income. The unearned finance income is recognized as revenue over the lease term using the interest method.

Lease payments from equipment on operating leases are recorded as income on a straight-line method over the lease terms. Operating lease assets are recorded at cost and depreciated to their estimated residual value on a straight-line method over the terms of the leases.

The cost of equipment on operating leases by product category was as follows (in millions of dollars):

	February 2		November 3

The Company discusses with lessees and dealers options to purchase the equipment or extend the lease prior to lease maturity. Equipment returned to the Company upon termination of leases is remarketed by the Company. The matured operating lease inventory balances at February 2, 2020 and November 3, 2019 were $127.4 million and $160.8 million, respectively. Matured operating lease inventory is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet.

(7)  Notes Receivable from John Deere

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

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

(8)  Commitments and Contingencies

At February 2, 2020, John Deere Financial Inc., the John Deere finance subsidiary in Canada, had $1,665.7 million of medium-term notes outstanding, and a fair value liability of $23.9 million for derivatives outstanding, prior to considering applicable netting provisions, with a notional amount of $3,369.9 million that were guaranteed by Capital Corporation. The weighted average interest rate on the medium-term notes at February 2, 2020 was 2.7 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately seven years.

Capital Corporation has a variable interest in John Deere Canada Funding Inc. (JDCFI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Deere Financial Inc., which was created as a VIE to issue debt in public markets to fund the operations of affiliated companies in Canada. Capital Corporation has a variable interest in JDCFI because it provides guarantees for all debt issued by JDCFI, however it does not consolidate JDCFI because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact JDCFI’s economic performance. Capital Corporation has no carrying value of assets or liabilities related to JDCFI. Its maximum exposure to loss is the amount of the debt issued by JDCFI and guaranteed by Capital Corporation, which was $1,665.7 million at February 2, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on the debt at February 2, 2020 was 2.3 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately four years. No additional support beyond what was previously contractually required has been provided to JDCFI during the reporting periods.

The Company has commitments to extend credit to customers and John Deere dealers through lines of credit and other pre-approved credit arrangements. The Company applies the same credit policies and approval process for these commitments to extend credit as it does for its Receivables. Collateral is not required for these commitments, but if credit is extended, collateral may be required upon funding. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to John Deere dealers was $7.3 billion at February 2, 2020. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to customers was $29.4 billion at February 2, 2020. A significant portion of these commitments is not expected to be fully drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts likely do not represent a future cash requirement. The Company generally has the right to unconditionally cancel, alter, or amend the terms of these commitments at any time. Over 95 percent of the unused commitments to extend credit to customers relate to revolving charge accounts. At February 2, 2020, Capital Corporation had $76.0 million in unused loan commitments denominated in rubles to Limited Liability Company John Deere Financial, the John Deere finance subsidiary in Russia.

At February 2, 2020, the Company had restricted other assets associated with borrowings related to securitizations (see Note 5). Excluding the securitization programs, the remaining balance of restricted other assets was not material as of February 2, 2020.

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

(9)  Income Taxes

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at February 2, 2020 were $27.7 million, compared to $32.5 million at November 3, 2019. The liability at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019 consisted of approximately $14.6 million, $17.6 million, and $14.5 million, respectively, which would affect the effective tax rate if the tax benefits were recognized. The remaining liability was related to tax positions for which there are offsetting tax receivables, or the uncertainty was only related to timing. The Company expects that any reasonably possible change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months would not be significant.

(10)  Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

	February 2, 2020				November 3, 2019				January 27, 2019
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Value		Value *		Value		Value *		Value		Value *
Receivables financed – net	$	27,184.0	$	27,221.8	$	28,382.5	$	28,396.6	$	25,536.7	$	25,408.9
Retail notes securitized – net		4,435.8		4,463.9		4,338.4		4,361.9		4,495.8		4,454.4
Securitization borrowings		4,373.9		4,403.3		4,277.0		4,301.7		4,397.1		4,391.1
Current maturities of long-term borrowings		5,577.6		5,597.5		5,716.6		5,727.9		4,330.7		4,322.4
Long-term borrowings		20,861.9		21,236.0		21,052.4		21,369.9		19,575.0		19,663.9

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

Fair values of Receivables that were issued long-term were based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by the Company for similar Receivables. The fair values of the remaining Receivables approximated the carrying amounts.

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

*    Excluded from this table were the Company’s cash equivalents, which were carried at cost that approximates fair value. The cash equivalents consist primarily of time deposits and money market funds.

The international debt securities mature within one year or less. At February 2, 2020, the amortized cost basis and fair value of these available-for-sale debt securities were $5.9 million and $2.3 million, respectively.

Fair value, nonrecurring Level 3 measurements from impairments were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	Fair Value *				Losses
					Three Months Ended
	February 2	November 3		January 27	February 2	January 27
	2020	2019		2019	2020	2019
Equipment on operating leases – net		$	855.4
Other assets			141.9
Total		$	997.3

*    See Receivables with specific allowances in Note 4 that were not significant.

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

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

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

23

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

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

Other assets – Impairments are based on the fair value of the matured operating lease inventory, which is measured using a market approach. Inputs include realized sales values.

(11)  Derivative Instruments

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

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

Cash flow hedges

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 February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019 were $2,900.0 million, $3,150.0 million, and $2,800.0 million, respectively. Fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affected earnings. These amounts offset the effects of interest rate changes on the related borrowings. The cash flows from these contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows.

The amount of loss recorded in OCI at February 2, 2020 that is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months if interest rates remain unchanged is approximately $6.7 million after-tax. There were no gains or losses reclassified from OCI to earnings based on the probability that the original forecasted transaction would not occur.

Fair value hedges

Certain interest rate contracts (swaps) were designated as fair value hedges of borrowings. The total notional amounts of these receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate contracts at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019 were $8,743.0 million, $8,336.9 million, and $8,247.4 million, respectively. The fair value gains or losses on these contracts were generally offset by fair value gains or losses on the hedged items (fixed-rate borrowings) with both items recorded in interest expense.

24

The amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet related to borrowings designated in fair value hedging relationships were as follows (in millions of dollars):

			Cumulative Increase (Decrease) of Fair Value

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company has certain interest rate contracts (swaps and caps), foreign exchange contracts (forwards and swaps), and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps), which were not formally designated as hedges. These derivatives were held as economic hedges for underlying interest rate or foreign currency exposures primarily for certain borrowings. The total notional amounts of these interest rate swaps at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019 were $2,342.2 million, $2,312.4 million, and $1,888.0 million, the foreign exchange contracts were $1,365.1 million, $691.6 million, and $1,683.5 million, and the cross-currency interest rate contracts were $100.0 million, $91.1 million, and $78.8 million, respectively. To facilitate borrowings through securitization of retail notes, interest rate caps were sold with notional amounts of $1,963.2 million, $1,611.3 million, and $2,292.8 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. Interest rate caps were also purchased with notional amounts of $1,963.2 million, $1,611.3 million, and $2,292.8 million at the same dates. The fair value gains or losses from the interest rate contracts were recognized currently in interest expense and the gains or losses from foreign exchange contracts in administrative and operating expenses, generally offsetting over time the expenses on the exposures being hedged. The cash flows from these non-designated contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows.

Included in the table above are interest expense and administrative and operating expense amounts the Company incurred on derivatives transacted with John Deere. The amounts the Company recognized on these affiliate party transactions for the three months ended February 2, 2020 and January 27, 2019 were gains of $89.8 million and $126.3 million, respectively.

Counterparty Risk and Collateral

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

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

Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements executed directly with the unrelated external counterparties contain credit support provisions that may require the Company to post collateral based on the size of the net liability positions and credit ratings. At February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, there were no aggregate liability positions for derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features. If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the Company would be required to post collateral up to an amount equal to any liability position, prior to considering applicable netting provisions.

The Company also has ISDA agreements with John Deere that permit the net settlement of amounts owed between counterparties in the event of early termination. In addition, the Company has a loss sharing agreement with John Deere in which it has agreed to absorb any losses and expenses John Deere incurs if an unrelated

27

external counterparty fails to meet its obligations on a derivative transaction that John Deere entered into to manage exposures of the Company. The loss sharing agreement did not increase the maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur, after considering collateral received and netting arrangements, as of February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019.

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

February 2, 2020
Derivatives:	Gross Amounts Recognized		Netting Arrangements		Cash Collateral Received/Paid	Net Amount

(12)   Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company is a participating employer in certain Deere & Company sponsored defined benefit pension plans for employees in the U.S. and certain defined benefit pension plans outside the U.S. These pension plans provide for benefits that are based primarily on years of service and employee compensation. Pension expense is actuarially determined based on the Company’s employees included in the plan. The Company’s pension expense was not significant for the periods ending February 2, 2020 and January 27, 2019. The accumulated benefit obligation and plan net assets for the employees of the Company are not determined separately from Deere & Company. The Company provides defined benefit health care and life insurance plans for certain retired employees in the U.S. as a participating employer in Deere & Company’s sponsored plans. Health care and life insurance benefits expense is actuarially determined based on the Company’s employees included in the plans and amounted to $5.1 million for the first three months of 2020, compared with $1.3 million for the same period last year. The increase from the prior year period is primarily due to a $3.3 million curtailment loss related to voluntary employee-separation programs (see Note 13). Further disclosure for these plans is included in Deere & Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 2, 2020.

(13)   Employee-Separation Programs

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

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

Results of Operations

Overview

Organization

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

Trends and Economic Conditions

Industry sales of agricultural machinery in the U.S. and Canada are forecast to be down about 5 percent for fiscal year 2020. Industry sales in Europe are forecast to be about the same in 2020. In South America, industry sales of tractors and combines are projected to be approximately the same as 2019 levels. Asian sales are forecast to be about the same in 2020. Industry sales of turf and utility equipment in the U.S. and Canada are expected to be about the same in 2020. John Deere’s agriculture and turf segment sales decreased 4 percent in the first quarter and are forecast to decrease about 5 to 10 percent for fiscal year 2020. Construction industry sales in North America for 2020 are expected to decline 5 to 10 percent. In forestry, global industry sales are expected to be about 5 to 10 percent lower. John Deere’s construction and forestry segment sales decreased 10 percent in the first quarter, and are forecast to decrease about 10 to 15 percent in 2020 reflecting slowing construction activity as well as efforts to bring down field inventory levels.

John Deere’s results reflect early signs of stabilization in the U.S. farm sector. John Deere is encouraged by the broad use of precision technologies and believes it is well positioned to strengthen its leadership position in this area. For the quarter, construction sector activity slowed leading to lower sales and profit for the construction and forestry division. Actions to reduce factory production and lower inventories in response to construction equipment market conditions also negatively affected results. Additionally, the quarter included costs of a voluntary employee-separation program, which is intended to improve John Deere’s flexibility. John Deere is also proceeding with a series of measures to create a more focused organizational structure. These steps are leading to improved efficiencies and helping John Deere focus its resources and investments on areas that have the most impact on performance.

Net income attributable to the Company in fiscal year 2020 is projected to be approximately $450 million, compared to $419 million in fiscal year 2019. Results are expected to benefit from lower losses on lease residual values and income earned from a higher average portfolio, partially offset by a higher provision for credit losses, unfavorable financing spreads, and prior year favorable discrete adjustments to the provision for income taxes.

Items of concern include trade agreements, the uncertainty of the effectiveness of governmental actions in respect to monetary and fiscal policies, the impact of sovereign debt, Eurozone and Argentine issues, capital market disruptions, changes in demand and pricing for used equipment, potential effects of epidemics, and geopolitical events. Significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and volatility in the price of many commodities could also impact the Company’s results.

30

2020 Compared with 2019

The total revenues and net income attributable to the Company were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	Three Months Ended
	February 2		January 27
	2020		2019
Total revenues	$	718.6	$	660.8
Net income attributable to the Company		99.2		121.7

Total revenues generally increased due to a higher average portfolio and higher average financing rates. Net income for the first quarter was lower than the same period in 2019 related to an increased provision for credit losses, higher losses on lease residual values, prior year favorable discrete adjustments to the provision for income taxes, and greater administrative and operating expenses, partially offset by income earned on a higher average portfolio.

Revenues

The finance income and lease revenues earned by the Company were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	Three Months Ended
	February 2		January 27		%
	2020		2019		Change
Finance income earned from:
Retail notes	$	234.8	$	208.9	12
Revolving charge accounts		80.7		72.1	12
Wholesale receivables		110.3		116.3	(5)
Lease revenues		274.9		239.5	15

Finance income earned on retail notes and lease revenues increased primarily due to higher average portfolio balances and higher average financing rates. The increase in finance income earned on revolving charge accounts was primarily due to higher average financing rates. Finance income earned on wholesale receivables was lower primarily due to lower average financing rates.

Revenues earned from John Deere totaled $168.9 million in the first three months of 2020, compared with $164.7 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to increased compensation paid by John Deere for waived or reduced finance charges on Receivables and Leases. Revenues earned from John Deere are included in the revenue amounts discussed above and in “Other income” on the statement of consolidated income.

31

Expenses

Significant expenses incurred by the Company were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	Three Months Ended
	February 2		January 27		%
	2020		2019		Change
Interest expense	$	219.8	$	226.5	(3)
Administrative and operating expenses		123.5		98.2	26
Depreciation of equipment on operating leases		213.5		175.4	22
Provision for credit losses		12.1		.8
Provision for income taxes		26.1		23.9	9

The decrease in interest expense for the first three months of 2020 was primarily due to lower average interest rates, partially offset by higher average borrowings.

Administrative and operating expenses increased primarily due to higher losses on lease residual values and voluntary employee-separation costs incurred in the first quarter of 2020.

The depreciation of equipment on operating leases for the first three months of 2020 increased primarily due to updated depreciation estimates and higher average balances of equipment on operating leases.

The provision for credit losses for the first three months of 2020 increased primarily due to higher net write-offs of retail notes. The annualized provision for credit losses, as a percentage of the average balance of total Receivables financed, was .15 percent in the first three months of 2020, compared with .01 percent for the same period last year. See the Company's most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the Company's allowance for credit losses policies.

The higher provision for income taxes in the first three months of 2020 was primarily related to favorable discrete adjustments to the provision for income taxes in the prior year period.

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The Company’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges was 1.56 to 1 for the first three months of 2020, compared with 1.63 to 1 for the first three months of 2019. “Earnings” consist of income before income taxes, the cumulative effect of changes in accounting, and fixed charges excluding unamortized capitalized interest. “Fixed charges” consist of interest on indebtedness, amortization of debt discount and expense, interest related to uncertain tax positions, an estimated amount of rental expense that is deemed to be representative of the interest factor, and capitalized interest.

32

Receivables and Leases

Receivable and Lease (excluding wholesale) acquisition volumes were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	Three Months Ended
	February 2		January 27		$		%
	2020		2019		Change		Change
Retail notes:
Agriculture and turf	$	1,656.3	$	1,497.5	$	158.8	11

Financing leases		69.8		65.5		4.3	7
Equipment on operating leases		529.5		343.2		186.3	54
Total Receivables and Leases (excluding wholesale)	$	4,682.4	$	4,306.2	$	376.2	9

The increase in retail note volumes during the first quarter of 2020 was primarily due to higher retail sales of John Deere equipment. Equipment on operating lease volumes were higher primarily due to increased leases of John Deere used agriculture equipment.

Total Receivables and Leases owned were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	February 2		November 3		January 27
	2020		2019		2019

Total Receivables and Leases	$	37,248.6	$	38,352.0	$	35,081.2

Total Receivables 30 days or more past due, non-performing Receivables, and the allowance for credit losses were as follows (in millions of dollars and as a percentage of the Receivables balance):

	February 2			November 3			January 27

Allowance for credit losses		103.1	.33		100.6	.31		106.7	.35

Receivables 30 days or more past due continue to accrue finance income. The Company ceases to accrue finance income once Receivables are considered non-performing. An allowance for credit losses is recorded for the estimated uncollectible amount. The allowance for credit losses is subject to an ongoing evaluation based on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical net loss experience by product category, portfolio duration, delinquency trends, economic conditions in the Company’s major markets and geographies, and credit risk quality. The Company believes its allowance is sufficient to provide for losses inherent in its existing Receivable portfolio.

Deposits withheld from dealers and merchants amounted to $128.5 million at February 2, 2020, compared with $137.5 million at November 3, 2019 and $146.9 million at January 27, 2019. These balances primarily represent the aggregate dealer retail note and lease withholding accounts from individual John Deere dealers to which losses from retail notes and leases originating from the respective dealers can be charged.

Write-offs and recoveries of Receivables, by product, and as an annualized percentage of average balances held during the period, were as follows (in millions of dollars):

Safe Harbor Statement

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

Factors that could materially affect the Company’s operations, access to capital, expenses, and results include changes in, uncertainty surrounding and the impact of governmental trade, banking, monetary, and fiscal policies, including financial regulatory reform and its effects on the consumer finance industry, derivatives, funding costs, and other areas. Actions by central banks, financial, and securities regulators may affect the costs and expenses of financing the Company and the financing rates it is able to offer. The Company’s business is affected by general economic conditions in the global markets in which the Company operates because deteriorating economic conditions and political instability can result in decreased customer confidence, lower demand for equipment, higher credit losses, and greater currency risk. The Company’s business is also affected by actions of banks, financing and leasing companies, and other lenders that compete with the Company for customers; capital market disruptions; significant changes in capital market liquidity and associated funding costs; interest rates (including the availability of IBOR reference rates) and foreign currency exchange rates and their volatility; changes to and compliance with privacy regulations; changes in weather patterns; the political and social stability of the global markets in which the Company operates; the effects of, or response to, terrorism and security threats; wars and other conflicts; natural disasters; and the spread of major epidemics (including Coronavirus) and responses to epidemics such as government-imposed travel restrictions and extended shut down of businesses.

34

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

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

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

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

Critical Accounting Policies

See the Company’s critical accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the most recent annual report filed on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

For additional information on the Company's dependence on and relationships with Deere & Company, see the Company's most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K.

During the first three months of 2020, the aggregate net cash provided by operating and investing activities was used primarily to decrease borrowings. Net cash provided by operating activities was $342.0 million in the first three months of 2020. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $775.3 million in the first three months of 2020, primarily due to the collections of Receivables (excluding wholesale) exceeding the cost of Receivables acquired (excluding wholesale) by $1,441.9 million, partially offset by an increase in net wholesale receivables of $452.0 million and the cost of equipment on operating leases acquired exceeding proceeds from sales of equipment on operating leases by $210.8 million. Net cash used for financing activities totaled $1,097.9 million in the first three months of 2020, resulting primarily from a net decrease in total external borrowings of $520.0 million, a net decrease in payables to John Deere of $445.4 million, and dividends paid of

35

$125.0 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased $18.2 million during the first three months of 2020.

During the first three months of 2019, the aggregate net cash provided by operating and investing activities was used primarily to decrease borrowings. Net cash provided by operating activities was $741.7 million in the first three months of 2019. Net cash provided by investing activities totaled $273.2 million in the first three months of 2019, primarily due to the collections of Receivables (excluding wholesale) exceeding the cost of Receivables acquired (excluding wholesale) by $1,483.2 million, partially offset by an increase in net wholesale receivables of $1,013.1 million and the cost of equipment on operating leases acquired exceeding proceeds from sales of equipment on operating leases by $145.0 million. Net cash used for financing activities totaled $780.4 million in the first three months of 2019, resulting primarily from a net decrease in payables to John Deere of $1,193.6 million and dividends paid of $200.0 million, partially offset by an increase in total external borrowings of $619.0 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash increased $234.4 million during the first three months of 2019.

The Company relies on its ability to raise substantial amounts of funds to finance its Receivable and Lease portfolios. The Company has access to most global markets at a reasonable cost and expects to have sufficient sources of global funding and liquidity to meet its funding needs. The Company’s ability to meet its debt obligations is supported in a number of ways. The assets of the Company are self-liquidating in nature. A solid equity position is available to absorb unusual losses on these assets and all commercial paper is backed by unsecured, committed borrowing lines from various banks. Liquidity is also provided by the Company’s ability to securitize these assets and through the issuance of term debt. Additionally, liquidity may be provided through loans from John Deere. The Company’s commercial paper outstanding at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019 was $1,131.4 million, $1,345.5 million, and $2,364.3 million, respectively, while the total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities position was $644.9 million, $635.8 million, and $863.2 million, respectively. The amount of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was approximately $152.6 million, $134.7 million, and $116.6 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively.

Capital Corporation has a revolving credit agreement to utilize bank conduit facilities to securitize retail notes (see Note 5). During November 2019, the agreement was renewed with a total capacity, or “financing limit,” of $3,500.0 million of secured financings at any time. After a two-year revolving period, unless the banks and Capital Corporation agree to renew, Capital Corporation would liquidate the secured borrowings over time as payments on the retail notes are collected. At February 2, 2020, $1,935.0 million of short-term securitization borrowings was outstanding under the agreement.

During the first three months of 2020, the Company issued $1,105.0 million and retired $1,501.3 million of long-term borrowings, which were primarily medium-term notes. During the first three months of 2020, the Company also issued $759.6 million and retired $663.7 million of retail note securitization borrowings and maintained an average commercial paper balance of $1,552.2 million. At February 2, 2020, the Company’s funding profile included $1,241.7 million of commercial paper and other notes payable, $4,373.9 million of securitization borrowings, $1,395.5 million of loans from John Deere, $26,439.5 million of unsecured term debt, and $4,097.3 million of equity capital. The Company’s funding profile may be altered to reflect such factors as relative costs of funding sources, assets available for securitizations, and capital market accessibility.

Total interest-bearing indebtedness amounted to $33,450.6 million at February 2, 2020, compared with $34,362.2 million at November 3, 2019 and $30,954.0 million at January 27, 2019. Total short-term indebtedness amounted to $12,588.7 million at February 2, 2020, compared with $13,309.8 million at November 3, 2019 and $11,379.0 million at January 27, 2019. Total long-term indebtedness amounted to $20,861.9 million at February 2, 2020, compared with $21,052.4 million at November 3, 2019 and $19,575.0 million at January 27, 2019. The ratio of total interest-bearing debt, including securitization indebtedness, to stockholder’s equity was 8.2 to 1 at February 2, 2020, compared with 8.3 to 1 at November 3, 2019 and 7.8 to 1 at January 27, 2019.

Stockholder’s equity was $4,097.3 million at February 2, 2020, compared with $4,128.4 million at November 3, 2019 and $3,984.2 million at January 27, 2019. The decrease in the first three months of 2020 was

36

primarily due to dividends paid of $125.0 million, partially offset by net income attributable to the Company of $99.2 million.

Lines of Credit

The Company has access to bank lines of credit with various banks throughout the world. Some of the lines are available to both the Company and Deere & Company. Worldwide lines of credit totaled $7,910.3 million at February 2, 2020, $5,692.3 million of which were unused. For the purpose of computing unused credit lines, commercial paper and short-term bank borrowings, excluding secured borrowings and the current portion of long-term borrowings, of the Company and Deere & Company were primarily considered to constitute utilization. Included in the total credit lines at February 2, 2020 was a 364-day credit facility agreement of $2,800.0 million, expiring in fiscal April 2020. In addition, total credit lines included long-term credit facility agreements of $2,500.0 million, expiring in April 2023, and $2,500.0 million, expiring in April 2024. These credit agreements require the Company to maintain its consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges at not less than 1.05 to 1 for each fiscal quarter and its ratio of senior debt, excluding securitization indebtedness, to capital base (total subordinated debt and stockholder’s equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)) at not more than 11 to 1 at the end of any fiscal quarter. All of these requirements of the credit agreements have been met during the periods included in the consolidated financial statements.

Debt Ratings

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

To access public debt capital markets, the Company relies on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings to the Company’s securities as an indicator of credit quality for fixed income investors. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw Company ratings based on its assessment of the Company’s current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment obligations. Each agency’s rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Lower credit ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, including costs of derivative transactions, and reduced access to debt capital markets.

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

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

Dividends

Capital Corporation declared and paid cash dividends to John Deere Financial Services, Inc. (JDFS) of $125.0 million and $200.0 million in the first three months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. In each case, JDFS paid comparable dividends to Deere & Company.

On February 27, 2020, Capital Corporation declared a $100.0 million dividend to be paid to JDFS on March 16, 2020. JDFS, in turn, declared a $100.0 million dividend to Deere & Company, also payable on March 16, 2020.

37

Item 3.     Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

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

Item 4.     Controls and Procedures.

The Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Act)) were effective as of February 2, 2020, based on the evaluation of these controls and procedures required by Rule 13a-15(b) or 15d-15(b) of the Act. During the first quarter, there were no changes that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

38

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 retail credit matters. The Company believes the reasonably possible range of losses for these unresolved legal actions would not have a material effect on its financial statements.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors.

See the Company's most recent 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 “Safe Harbor Statement” in this report are not the only risks faced by the Company.

Derivative Instruments

Derivative Instruments

(11)  Derivative Instruments

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

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

Cash flow hedges

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 February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019 were $2,900.0 million, $3,150.0 million, and $2,800.0 million, respectively. Fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income (OCI) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affected earnings. These amounts offset the effects of interest rate changes on the related borrowings. The cash flows from these contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows.

The amount of loss recorded in OCI at February 2, 2020 that is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months if interest rates remain unchanged is approximately $6.7 million after-tax. There were no gains or losses reclassified from OCI to earnings based on the probability that the original forecasted transaction would not occur.

Fair value hedges

Certain interest rate contracts (swaps) were designated as fair value hedges of borrowings. The total notional amounts of these receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate contracts at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019 were $8,743.0 million, $8,336.9 million, and $8,247.4 million, respectively. The fair value gains or losses on these contracts were generally offset by fair value gains or losses on the hedged items (fixed-rate borrowings) with both items recorded in interest expense.

The amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet related to borrowings designated in fair value hedging relationships were as follows (in millions of dollars):

			Cumulative Increase (Decrease) of Fair Value

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company has certain interest rate contracts (swaps and caps), foreign exchange contracts (forwards and swaps), and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps), which were not formally designated as hedges. These derivatives were held as economic hedges for underlying interest rate or foreign currency exposures primarily for certain borrowings. The total notional amounts of these interest rate swaps at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019 were $2,342.2 million, $2,312.4 million, and $1,888.0 million, the foreign exchange contracts were $1,365.1 million, $691.6 million, and $1,683.5 million, and the cross-currency interest rate contracts were $100.0 million, $91.1 million, and $78.8 million, respectively. To facilitate borrowings through securitization of retail notes, interest rate caps were sold with notional amounts of $1,963.2 million, $1,611.3 million, and $2,292.8 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. Interest rate caps were also purchased with notional amounts of $1,963.2 million, $1,611.3 million, and $2,292.8 million at the same dates. The fair value gains or losses from the interest rate contracts were recognized currently in interest expense and the gains or losses from foreign exchange contracts in administrative and operating expenses, generally offsetting over time the expenses on the exposures being hedged. The cash flows from these non-designated contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows.

Included in the table above are interest expense and administrative and operating expense amounts the Company incurred on derivatives transacted with John Deere. The amounts the Company recognized on these affiliate party transactions for the three months ended February 2, 2020 and January 27, 2019 were gains of $89.8 million and $126.3 million, respectively.

Counterparty Risk and Collateral

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

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

Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements executed directly with the unrelated external counterparties contain credit support provisions that may require the Company to post collateral based on the size of the net liability positions and credit ratings. At February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, there were no aggregate liability positions for derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features. If the credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the Company would be required to post collateral up to an amount equal to any liability position, prior to considering applicable netting provisions.

The Company also has ISDA agreements with John Deere that permit the net settlement of amounts owed between counterparties in the event of early termination. In addition, the Company has a loss sharing agreement with John Deere in which it has agreed to absorb any losses and expenses John Deere incurs if an unrelated

external counterparty fails to meet its obligations on a derivative transaction that John Deere entered into to manage exposures of the Company. The loss sharing agreement did not increase the maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur, after considering collateral received and netting arrangements, as of February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019.

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

February 2, 2020

The Company provides defined benefit health care and life insurance plans for certain retired employees in the U.S. as a participating employer in Deere & Company’s sponsored plans. Health care and life insurance benefits expense is actuarially determined based on the Company’s employees included in the plans and amounted to $5.1 million for the first three months of 2020, compared with $1.3 million for the same period last year. The increase from the prior year period is primarily due to a $3.3 million curtailment loss related to voluntary employee-separation programs (see Note 13). Further disclosure for these plans is included in Deere & Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended February 2, 2020.

Receivables

Receivables

(4)  Receivables

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

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

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

Receivables are considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Receivables reviewed for impairment generally include those that are either past due, or have provided bankruptcy notification, or require significant collection efforts. Receivables that are impaired are generally classified as non performing.

A troubled debt restructuring is generally the modification of debt in which a creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a debtor that is experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications may include a reduction of the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity dates, a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or a reduction of accrued interest. During the first three months of 2020, the Company identified 73 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, as troubled debt restructurings with aggregate balances of $2.2 million pre-modification and $2.0 million post-modification. During the first three months of 2019, there were 64 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, with aggregate balances of $1.5 million pre-modification and $1.4 million post-modification. During these same periods, there were no significant troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted and were written off. At February 2, 2020, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose accounts were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

(8)  Commitments and Contingencies

At February 2, 2020, John Deere Financial Inc., the John Deere finance subsidiary in Canada, had $1,665.7 million of medium-term notes outstanding, and a fair value liability of $23.9 million for derivatives outstanding, prior to considering applicable netting provisions, with a notional amount of $3,369.9 million that were guaranteed by Capital Corporation. The weighted average interest rate on the medium-term notes at February 2, 2020 was 2.7 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately seven years.

Capital Corporation has a variable interest in John Deere Canada Funding Inc. (JDCFI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Deere Financial Inc., which was created as a VIE to issue debt in public markets to fund the operations of affiliated companies in Canada. Capital Corporation has a variable interest in JDCFI because it provides guarantees for all debt issued by JDCFI, however it does not consolidate JDCFI because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact JDCFI’s economic performance. Capital Corporation has no carrying value of assets or liabilities related to JDCFI. Its maximum exposure to loss is the amount of the debt issued by JDCFI and guaranteed by Capital Corporation, which was $1,665.7 million at February 2, 2020. The weighted average interest rate on the debt at February 2, 2020 was 2.3 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately four years. No additional support beyond what was previously contractually required has been provided to JDCFI during the reporting periods.

The Company has commitments to extend credit to customers and John Deere dealers through lines of credit and other pre-approved credit arrangements. The Company applies the same credit policies and approval process for these commitments to extend credit as it does for its Receivables. Collateral is not required for these commitments, but if credit is extended, collateral may be required upon funding. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to John Deere dealers was $7.3 billion at February 2, 2020. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to customers was $29.4 billion at February 2, 2020. A significant portion of these commitments is not expected to be fully drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts likely do not represent a future cash requirement. The Company generally has the right to unconditionally cancel, alter, or amend the terms of these commitments at any time. Over 95 percent of the unused commitments to extend credit to customers relate to revolving charge accounts. At February 2, 2020, Capital Corporation had $76.0 million in unused loan commitments denominated in rubles to Limited Liability Company John Deere Financial, the John Deere finance subsidiary in Russia.

At February 2, 2020, the Company had restricted other assets associated with borrowings related to securitizations (see Note 5). Excluding the securitization programs, the remaining balance of restricted other assets was not material as of February 2, 2020.

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

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

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.

Fiscal Year

The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The first quarter ends for fiscal year 2020 and 2019 were February 2, 2020 and January 27, 2019, respectively. Both periods contained 13 weeks.

Receivables - Non-Performing, Policy

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

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

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

Receivables are considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Receivables reviewed for impairment generally include those that are either past due, or have provided bankruptcy notification, or require significant collection efforts. Receivables that are impaired are generally classified as non performing.

Receivables - Allowance for Credit Losses, Policy

Allowances for credit losses on Receivables are maintained in amounts considered to be appropriate in relation to the Receivables outstanding based on historical loss experience by product category, portfolio duration, delinquency trends, economic conditions in the Company’s major markets and geographies, and credit risk quality.

Troubled Debt Restructuring, Policy

A troubled debt restructuring is generally the modification of debt in which a creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a debtor that is experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications may include a reduction of the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity dates, a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or a reduction of accrued interest. During the first three months of 2020, the Company identified 73 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, as troubled debt restructurings with aggregate balances of $2.2 million pre-modification and $2.0 million post-modification. During the first three months of 2019, there were 64 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, with aggregate balances of $1.5 million pre-modification and $1.4 million post-modification. During these same periods, there were no significant troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted and were written off. At February 2, 2020, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose accounts were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy

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.

Derivative Financial Instruments

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

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

Leases

(6)  Leases

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

Initial lease terms generally range from less than one year to seven years. Leases offered by the Company may include early termination and renewal options. At the end of a lease, the lessee generally has the option to purchase the underlying equipment for a fixed price or return it to the dealer. If the equipment is returned to the dealer, the dealer also has the option to purchase the equipment or return it to the Company for remarketing.

The Company estimates the residual values for operating leases at lease inception based on several factors, including lease term, expected hours of usage, historical wholesale sale prices, return experience, intended use of the equipment, market dynamics and trends, and dealer residual guarantees. The Company reviews residual value estimates during the lease term and tests the carrying value of its operating lease assets for impairment when events or circumstances necessitate. The depreciation is adjusted on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term if residual value estimates decline. Lease agreements include usage limits and specifications on machine condition, which allow the Company to assess lessees for excess use or damages to the underlying equipment.

The Company has elected to combine lease and nonlease components. The nonlease components primarily relate to preventative maintenance and extended warranty agreements financed by the customer. The Company has also elected to report consideration related to sales and value added taxes net of the related tax expense. Property taxes on leased assets are recorded on a gross basis in lease revenues and administrative and operating expenses on the statement of consolidated income. Variable lease revenues primarily relate to separately invoiced property taxes on leased equipment in certain markets and late fees.

Lease revenues earned by the Company were as follows (in millions of dollars):

At the time of accepting a lease that qualifies as a sales-type or direct financing lease, the Company records the gross amount of lease payments receivable, estimated residual value of the leased equipment, and unearned finance income. The unearned finance income is recognized as revenue over the lease term using the interest method.

Fair Value Measurements

(10)  Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

	February 2, 2020				November 3, 2019				January 27, 2019

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

Fair values of Receivables that were issued long-term were based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by the Company for similar Receivables. The fair values of the remaining Receivables approximated the carrying amounts.

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

Other assets			141.9
Total		$	997.3

*    See Receivables with specific allowances in Note 4 that were not significant.

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

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

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

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

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

Other assets – Impairments are based on the fair value of the matured operating lease inventory, which is measured using a market approach. Inputs include realized sales values.

(1)  Organization and Consolidation

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

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

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The first quarter ends for fiscal year 2020 and 2019 were February 2, 2020 and January 27, 2019, respectively. Both periods contained 13 weeks.

Securitization of Receivables

Securitization of Receivables

Securitization of Receivables

(5)  Securitization of Receivables

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

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

In certain securitizations, the Company consolidates the SPEs since it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPEs’ economic performance through its role as servicer of all the Receivables held by the SPEs and the obligation through variable interests in the SPEs to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. The restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of the consolidated SPEs totaled $2,490.1 million, $2,894.4 million, and $2,136.8 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) of these SPEs totaled $2,442.1 million, $2,847.2 million, and $2,091.8 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. The credit holders of these SPEs do not have legal recourse to the Company’s general credit.

In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes to non-VIE banking operations, which are not consolidated since the Company does not have a controlling interest in the entities. The Company’s carrying values and interests related to the securitizations with the unconsolidated non-VIEs were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of $596.6 million, $447.0 million, and $722.8 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. The liabilities

(securitization borrowings and accrued interest) were $567.3 million, $420.5 million, and $676.0 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively.

In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes into bank-sponsored, multi-seller, commercial paper conduits, which are SPEs that are not consolidated. The Company does not service a significant portion of the conduits’ receivables, and therefore, does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the conduits’ economic performance. These conduits provide a funding source to the Company (as well as other transferors into the conduit) as they fund the retail notes through the issuance of commercial paper. The Company’s carrying values and variable interest related to these conduits were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of $1,440.5 million, $1,079.2 million, and $1,745.2 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) related to these conduits were $1,369.7 million, $1,015.2 million, and $1,632.4 million at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019, respectively.

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

	February 2
	2020
Carrying value of liabilities	$	1,369.7
Maximum exposure to loss		1,440.5

The total assets of unconsolidated VIEs related to securitizations were approximately $41.1 billion at February 2, 2020.

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

	February 2		November 3		January 27
	2020		2019		2019
Retail notes securitized	$	4,443.7	$	4,349.6	$	4,505.9
Allowance for credit losses		(7.9)		(11.2)		(10.1)
Other assets		91.4		82.2		109.0
Total restricted securitized assets	$	4,527.2	$	4,420.6	$	4,604.8

The components of consolidated secured borrowings and other liabilities related to securitizations were as follows (in millions of dollars):

	February 2		November 3		January 27
	2020		2019		2019
Securitization borrowings	$	4,373.9	$	4,277.0	$	4,397.1
Accrued interest on borrowings		5.2		5.9		3.1
Total liabilities related to restricted securitized assets	$	4,379.1	$	4,282.9	$	4,400.2

The secured borrowings related to these restricted securitized retail notes are obligations that are payable as the retail notes are liquidated. Repayment of the secured borrowings depends primarily on cash flows generated by the restricted assets. Due to the Company's short-term credit rating, cash collections from these restricted assets are not required to be placed into a segregated collection account until immediately prior to the time payment is required to the secured creditors. At February 2, 2020, the maximum remaining term of all restricted securitized retail notes was approximately seven years.

The Company’s restricted cash held at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, January 27, 2019, and October 28, 2018 was $86.5 million, $78.3 million, $87.0 million and $103.4 million, respectively. The

restricted cash primarily relates to the securitization of receivables and is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet and in cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on the statement of consolidated cash flows.

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at February 2, 2020 were $27.7 million, compared to $32.5 million at November 3, 2019. The liability at February 2, 2020, November 3, 2019, and January 27, 2019 consisted of approximately $14.6 million, $17.6 million, and $14.5 million, respectively, which would affect the effective tax rate if the tax benefits were recognized. The remaining liability was related to tax positions for which there are offsetting tax receivables, or the uncertainty was only related to timing. The Company expects that any reasonably possible change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months would not be significant.

New Accounting Standards Adopted

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

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

New Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which establishes ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU revises the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost from an incurred loss to an expected loss methodology. The ASU affects receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The ASU will be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach. The Company is developing models to estimate expected credit losses, assessing appropriate assumptions, designing new procedures and controls, and evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which amends ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. This ASU requires customers in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to evaluate the implementation costs of the hosting arrangement using the guidance to develop internal-use software. The project development stage determines the implementation costs that are capitalized or expensed. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the service arrangement and are presented in the same income statement line item as the service contract costs. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the ASU on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The effective dates for the separate portions of the ASU and the expected effect on the consolidated financial statements are as follows for the portions that have not yet been adopted: (1) clarifications to ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, which is under evaluation, and (2) clarifications to ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, which will not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes. This ASU simplifies the accounting for income taxes by modifying the treatment of intraperiod tax allocation in certain circumstances, eliminating an exception to recognizing deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences for foreign equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries when ownership or control changes, and modifying interim period tax calculations when a loss is forecast. In addition, the ASU also provides guidance for the accounting of a franchise tax that is partially based on income, requires that enacted changes in tax laws or rates be included in the annual effective rate determination in the period that includes the enactment date, and clarifies the tax accounting of a step up in tax basis of goodwill. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2022, with early adoption permitted. The guidance related to the foreign equity method investments, foreign subsidiaries, and franchise taxes will be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach. The remaining provisions will be adopted prospectively. The adoption is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
