Net sales were $11.778 billion for the quarter and $19.779 billion for six months, compared with $11.171 billion and $17.980 billion last year, respectively.

The prior period year to date results presented were affected by special items. See Note 2 of the financial statements for further details. On February 20, 2026, the Supreme Court of the United States issued a decision invalidating tariffs imposed pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). The company recorded a recovery of $272 million for refund claims related to IEEPA tariffs which have been filed and accepted by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The tariff impact for each segment is primarily included in the “Production Costs” category below.

Some of these risks and uncertainties could affect all lines of the company’s operations generally while others could more heavily affect a particular line of business.
Forward-looking statements are based on currently available information and current assumptions, expectations, and projections about future events and should not be relied upon. Except as required by law, the company expressly disclaims any obligation to update or revise its forward-looking statements. Many factors, risks, and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements. Among these factors are risks related to:

● macroeconomic conditions, including unemployment, inflation, interest rate volatility, energy price increases resulting from geopolitical conflicts, changes in consumer practices due to slower economic growth or a recession, regional or global liquidity constraints
● the uncertainty of government policies and actions with respect to the global trade environment including increased and contested tariffs announced by the U.S. government and retaliatory trade regulations
● political, economic, and social instability in the geographies in which the company operates
● worldwide demand for food and different forms of renewable energy impacting the price of farm commodities and consequently the demand for the company’s equipment
● rationalization, restructuring, relocation, expansion, and/or reconfiguration of manufacturing and warehouse facilities

● uncertainty of the company’s ability to sell products domestically or internationally, manage increased costs of production, absorb or pass on increased expenses, and accurately predict financial results and industry trends

● delays or disruptions in the company’s supply chain, including those arising from geopolitical conflicts
● changes in climate patterns, unfavorable weather events, and natural disasters
● suppliers’ and manufacturers’ business practices and compliance with applicable laws such as human rights, safety, environmental, and fair wages
● higher interest rates and currency fluctuations which could adversely affect the U.S. dollar, customer confidence, access to capital, and demand for the company’s products and solutions
● the ability to attract, develop, engage, and retain qualified employees
● the company’s ability to adapt in highly competitive markets, including understanding and meeting customers’ changing expectations for products and solutions, including delivery and utilization of precision technology
● the ability to execute business strategies, including the company’s Smart Industrial Operating Model and refined Leap Ambitions
● dealer practices and their ability to manage new and used inventory, distribute the company’s products, and to provide support and service for precision technology solutions
● the ability to realize anticipated benefits of acquisitions and joint ventures, including challenges with successfully integrating operations and internal control processes
● negative claims or publicity that damage the company’s reputation or brand
● the impact of workforce reductions on company culture, employee retention and morale, and institutional knowledge
● labor relations and contracts, including work stoppages and other disruptions
● security breaches, cybersecurity attacks, technology failures, and other disruptions to the company’s information technology infrastructure and products
● leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning within the company’s business processes
● changes to existing laws and regulations, including the implementation of new, more stringent laws, as well as compliance with a variety of U.S., foreign, and international laws, regulations, and policies relating to, but not limited to the following: advertising, anti-bribery and anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, antitrust, consumer finance, cybersecurity, data privacy, encryption, environmental (including climate change and engine emissions), farming, foreign exchange controls and cash repatriation restrictions, foreign ownership and investment, health and safety, human rights, import / export and trade, labor and employment, product liability, tariffs, tax, telematics, and telecommunications
● governmental and other actions designed to address climate change in connection with a transition to a lower-carbon economy
● warranty claims, post-sales repairs or recalls, product liability litigation, and regulatory investigations because of the deficient operation of the company’s products
● investigations, claims, lawsuits, or other legal proceedings, including the lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Attorneys General of the States of Arizona, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin alleging that the company unlawfully withheld self-repair capabilities from farmers and independent repair providers
● loss of or challenges to intellectual property rights
Further information concerning the company or its businesses, including factors that could materially affect the company’s financial results, is included in the company’s filings with the SEC (including, but not limited to, the factors discussed in Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of the company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q).

(In millions of dollars) Unaudited
(1) Acquisition
In February 2026, the company acquired Tenna LLC (Tenna), a U.S. construction technology company that offers mixed-fleet equipment operations and asset tracking solutions. The purchase price, net of cash acquired, was $439 million. Tenna was assigned to the CF segment. Most of the purchase price for this acquisition was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets.
(2) Special Items
Discrete Tax Items
In the first quarter of 2025, the company recorded favorable net discrete tax items primarily due to tax benefits of $110 million related to the realization of foreign net operating losses from the consolidation of certain subsidiaries and $53 million from an adjustment to an uncertain tax position of a foreign subsidiary.
Banco John Deere S.A.
In 2024, the company entered into an agreement with a Brazilian bank, Banco Bradesco S.A. (Bradesco), for Bradesco to invest and become a 50% owner of the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary in Brazil, Banco John Deere S.A. (BJD). BJD finances retail and wholesale loans for agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. The transaction is intended to reduce the company’s incremental risk as it continues to grow in the Brazilian market.
The BJD business was reclassified as held for sale in 2024. In January 2025, the valuation allowance on assets held for sale decreased, resulting in a pretax and after-tax gain (reversal of previous losses) of $32 million recorded in “Selling, administrative and general expenses” in the six months ended April 27, 2025. The valuation allowance changes are presented in “Impairments and other adjustments” in the statements of consolidated cash flows.
The company deconsolidated BJD upon completion of the transaction in February 2025. The company accounts for its investment in BJD using the equity method of accounting and results of its operations are reported in “Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates” within the Financial Services segment. The company reports investments in unconsolidated affiliates and receivables from unconsolidated affiliates in “Other assets” and “Other receivables,” respectively.
(3) The consolidated financial statements represent the consolidation of all the company’s subsidiaries. The supplemental consolidating data in Note 4 to the financial statements is presented for informational purposes. Equipment operations represent the enterprise without Financial Services. Equipment operations include the company’s Production & Precision Agriculture operations, Small Agriculture & Turf operations, Construction & Forestry operations, and other corporate assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses not reflected within Financial Services. Transactions between the equipment operations and Financial Services have been eliminated to arrive at the consolidated financial statements.

Exhibit 99.2
(Furnished herewith)
2 John Deere | 2Q 2026 Earnings Call | May 21, 2026
Forward-Looking Statements
This earnings call and accompanying materials include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
Forward-looking statements may be identified by words such as “forecast,” “guidance,” “project,” “target,” “outlook,” “prospects,” “expect,” “estimate,” “will,” “goal,” “plan,” “anticipate,”
“intend,” “predict,” “believe,” “likely,” “future,” “could,” “may,” or other similar words or phrases, including the negative variations of such words or phrases. Examples of forward-looking
statements include, among others, comments and information concerning the Company’s plans and projections for the future, the agricultural industry, cash priorities, estimates and
assumptions with respect to economic, political, supply chain, energy, technological and weather matters, market acceptance of the Company’s products, benefits of acquisitions and
divestitures as well as integration of businesses, anticipated transaction costs.
Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on management’s current beliefs, expectations and
assumptions regarding the future of the Company’s business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Because
forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, changes in circumstances, and other factors that are difficult to predict and many of which
are outside of the Company’s control causing and adequately managing inventory; availability and price of raw materials, components, and whole goods; delays or disruptions in our actual
results to differ materially from those projected in these forward-looking statements. Among these factors are risks related to the agricultural business cycle, which can be unpredictable
and is affected by a variety of factors, such as farm income; macroeconomic conditions, including unemployment, inflation, interest rate volatility and energy price increases resulting from
geopolitical conflicts; the uncertainty of government policies and actions with respect to the global trade environment including increased and contested tariffs; exposure to risks and
events beyond our control in countries in which we operate, such as economic and political instability, worldwide demand for food and different forms of renewable energy impacting the
price of farm commodities; rationalization, restructuring, relocation, expansion and/or reconfiguration of manufacturing and warehouse facilities; accurately forecasting customer demand
for products and services; delays or disruptions in our supply chain, including those arising from geopolitical conflicts; changes in climate patterns, unfavorable weather events, and natural
disasters; higher interest rates and currency fluctuations; negative economic conditions in the financial industry which could impact our financial services segment; the ability to execute
business strategies, including our Smart Industrial Operating Model and Leap Ambitions ; the complexity of our products and the risks associated with not realizing the anticipated benefits
of our investments, such as customer acceptance and the pace of adopting our products and technologies; dealer practices and their ability to manage new and used inventory, distribute
our products, and provide support and service for precision technology solutions; the ability to realize anticipated benefits of acquisitions and joint ventures, including challenges with
successful integration; negative claims or publicity that damage our reputation or brand; the ability to attract, develop, engage, and retain qualified employees; the impact of workforce
reductions on company culture, employee retention and morale, and institutional knowledge; labor relations and contracts, including work stoppages and other disruptions; security
breaches, cybersecurity attacks, technology failures, and other disruptions to our information technology infrastructure and products; leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning
within our business processes; changes to existing laws and regulations, including the implementation of new, more stringent laws, as well as compliance with these laws and regulations;
investigations, claims, lawsuits, or other legal proceedings. For a discussion of risks and uncertainties impacting our business, see “Item 1A Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual
Report on Form 10-K, as updated by our subsequent filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors should refer to and consider the information on risks and
uncertainties in addition to the information presented here.
All forward-looking statements made in this earnings call and accompanying materials are based only on information currently available and speaks only as of the date on which it is
made. You should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. The Company, except as required by law, undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking
statements whether as a result of new developments or otherwise.
This earnings call and accompanying materials may contain non-GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP measures should be viewed as a supplement to, and not in isolation from, or as a
substitute for the Company’s GAAP measures of performance and the financial results calculated in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully
evaluated.
