Trade Accounts and Notes Receivable

Trade accounts and notes receivable arise from sales of goods and services to dealers. See Note 2 for our revenue recognition policy. We evaluate and assess customers’ creditworthiness on an ongoing basis. Receivables are secured with collateral or other credit enhancements. Trade accounts and notes receivable at the end of 2025 and 2024 follow:

These receivables have significant concentrations of credit risk in the agriculture and turf and construction and forestry markets. Historically, credit losses have been low. There is not a disproportionate concentration of credit risk with any single customer. On a geographic basis, 48% of our trade accounts and notes receivable are located in the U.S. and Canada at November 2, 2025.

At November 2, 2025, and October 27, 2024, trade accounts and notes receivable balances outstanding greater than 12 months were $172 and $298, respectively.

The allowance for credit losses on trade accounts and notes receivable at November 2, 2025, October 27, 2024, and October 29, 2023, as well as the related activity, follow:

Financing Receivables Overall

Financing receivables originate under the following circumstances:

Retail customers purchase (or lease) equipment from a dealer and finance the equipment through John Deere Financial.
We sell the equipment to a dealer under trade terms. Trade terms end and the dealer finances the equipment on a wholesale receivable. Shown as wholesale notes in “Financing Receivables – Related to the Sale of Equipment.”
A dealer finances the purchase of used equipment through John Deere Financial.
We sell (or lease) the equipment directly to a retail customer with terms typically greater than 12 months. Shown as retail notes or sales-type leases in the “Financing Receivables –Related to the Sale of Equipment.”
The retail customer utilizes a revolving credit product to finance parts, service, or input costs.

Credit risk continues to be evaluated by market, rather than by operating segment. Financing receivables have significant concentrations of credit risk in the agriculture and turf and construction and forestry markets. On a geographic basis, 89% of our financing receivables were located in the U.S. and Canada at November 2, 2025. There is no disproportionate concentration of credit risk with any single customer or dealer. We retain as collateral security in the equipment associated with most financing receivables. Theft and physical damage insurance are required for this equipment.

Financing Receivables Related to the Sale of Equipment

Financing Receivables Credit Quality Analysis

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

Past due balances represent any payments 30 days or more past the due date.
Non-performing financing receivables represent receivables for which we have stopped accruing finance income. This generally occurs when receivables are 90 days delinquent.
Write-offs generally occur when receivables are 120 days delinquent. In these situations, the estimated uncollectible amount is written off to the allowance for credit losses.

Finance income for non-performing receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrual of finance income is resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured.

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

*    Individual allowances were not significant.

We monitor the economy as part of the allowance setting process, including potential impacts of the agricultural market business cycle, global trade policies, and interest rates. Adjustments to the allowance are incorporated, as necessary.

The allowance for credit losses on retail notes and financing lease receivables increased in 2025, primarily due to higher expected losses on agriculture and turf customer accounts as a result of elevated delinquencies and a decline in market conditions.

During 2024, the financial services business in Brazil met the held for sale criteria, therefore the receivables were reclassified to “Assets held for sale” and the associated allowance for credit losses was reversed. These operations were deconsolidated in the second quarter of 2025 (see Note 3). Excluding the impact of BJD, the allowance for credit losses on retail notes and financing lease receivables increased in 2024, primarily due to higher expected losses on agriculture customer accounts as a result of elevated delinquencies and a decline in market conditions, partially offset by a decrease in the allowance on revolving charge accounts due to write-offs of seasonal financing program accounts and future recoveries expected.

During 2023, the financial services business in Russia met the held for sale criteria. The financing receivables in Russia were reclassified to “Other assets” and the associated allowance for credit losses was reversed. These operations were sold in the second quarter of 2023 (see Note 3). Excluding the portfolio in Russia, the allowance increased in 2023, primarily driven by growth in the retail notes and financing lease portfolios and higher expected losses on turf and construction customer accounts.

Financing Receivables Modifications

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

We continue to monitor the performance of financing receivables that are modified with borrowers experiencing financial difficulty.

The ending amortized cost and performance of financing receivables modified in 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

Financing Receivables Troubled Debt Restructurings

Prior to adopting ASU 2022-02, modifications of loans to borrowers experiencing financial difficulty were considered troubled debt restructurings when the significant modification of the receivable resulted in a concession we would not otherwise consider.
