Deere Reports Third Quarter Net Income of $1.379 Billion
● Disciplined execution drives stronger-than-expected results in a dynamic market.
● Net income guidance improved to $4.75 billion to $5.00 billion.
● Order book trends reinforce 2026 as the bottom of the ag equipment cycle.
MOLINE, Illinois (August 20, 2026) — Deere & Company reported net income of $1.379 billion for the third quarter ended August 2, 2026, or $5.10 per share, compared with net income of $1.289 billion, or $4.75 per share, for the quarter ended July 27, 2025. For the first nine months of the year, net income attributable to Deere & Company was $3.808 billion, or $14.06 per share, compared with $3.962 billion, or $14.57 per share, for the same period last year.
Worldwide net sales and revenues increased 5 percent, to $12.608 billion, for the third quarter of 2026 and rose 7 percent, to $35.589 billion, for nine months. Net sales were $10.999 billion for the quarter and $30.779 billion for nine months, compared with $10.357 billion and $28.338 billion last year, respectively.
“Deere delivered a strong quarter, reflecting disciplined execution by our teams and continued resilience across our portfolio,” said John C. May, chairman and chief executive officer. “Our performance underscores the strength of our business, supported by stable U.S. market conditions, our ability to manage softer conditions in Brazil and Europe, and our commitment to helping customers succeed.”
Company Outlook & Summary
Net income attributable to Deere & Company for fiscal 2026 is forecasted to be in a range of $4.75 billion to $5.00 billion.
“As we look ahead, we continue to believe 2026 will mark the bottom of the current ag equipment cycle,” May said. “Across our business, early order program trends, improving used-equipment inventories, and increasing customer adoption of our advanced technologies give us confidence that Deere is well positioned for long-term value creation.”

● macroeconomic conditions, including unemployment, inflation, interest rate volatility, energy price increases resulting from geopolitical conflicts, changes in consumer sentiment and practices due to slower economic growth or a recession, and 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

● attracting, developing, engaging, and retaining qualified employees
● adapting in highly competitive markets, including understanding and meeting customers’ changing expectations for products and solutions, including delivery and utilization of precision technology
● realizing the anticipated benefits of the company’s Smart Industrial Operating Model, achieving the company’s Leap Ambitions, and executing the company’s related business strategies in production systems, precision technologies, and aftermarket support
● the company’s dealer network’s development and implementation of successful sales plans, management of new and used inventory, distribution of the company’s products, and support and service for the company’s precision technology solutions

(1) Acquisitions
In 2026, the company completed several acquisitions to advance the capabilities of its existing technology offerings, including the February acquisition of Tenna LLC (Tenna), a U.S. construction technology company that provides mixed-fleet equipment operations and asset tracking solutions, for a purchase price of $439 million, net of cash acquired. Tenna was assigned to the CF segment. The company also acquired other small-scale businesses assigned to the PPA, SAT, and CF segments for a combined purchase price consideration of $16 million, net of cash acquired. Most of the purchase price for these acquisitions was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets.
In 2025, the company acquired businesses to advance the capabilities of the company’s existing technology offerings, providing customers with a more comprehensive set of tools to generate and use data to make decisions that improve profitability, efficiency, and sustainability. The combined cost of these acquisitions was $89 million, net of cash acquired. The businesses were assigned to the PPA and CF segments. Most of the purchase price for these acquisitions was allocated to goodwill and other intangible assets.
(2) Special Items
Impairment
In the third quarter of 2025, the company recorded a non-cash charge of $61 million pretax ($49 million after-tax), primarily related to the trade name and customer relationship assets of external overseas battery operations. Of this amount, $53 million was recorded in “Selling, administrative and general expenses” and $8 million in “Cost of sales.” The charge is presented in “Impairments and other adjustments” in the statements of consolidated cash flows. The impairment resulted from slowing external demand for batteries, which indicated that it is probable future cash flows would not cover the carrying value of the assets.
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 nine months ended July 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.

Exhibit 99.2
(Furnished herewith)
2 John Deere | 3Q 2026 Earnings Call | August 20, 2026
Forward-Looking Statements
These materials and the accompanying earnings call 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 and 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, plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy, and other future conditions. Forward-looking
statements 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 and
may cause 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;
construction and forestry activity; 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; adapting in highly competitive markets;
challenges in executing and realizing the benefits of our business strategies; 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; and 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 these materials and the accompanying earnings call are based only on information currently available and speak only as of the date on which they
are 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.
These materials and the accompanying earnings call 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.
