- 2025 results highlight resilient performance in the face of difficult market conditions
- Outlook for small ag and construction and forestry improves as large ag remains subdued
- Full-year 2026 earnings are projected to be between $4.00 billion and $4.75 billion
MOLINE, Ill., Nov. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) reported net income of $1.065 billion for the fourth quarter ended November 2, 2025, or $3.93 per share, compared with net income of $1.245 billion, or $4.55 per share, for the quarter ended October 27, 2024. For fiscal year 2025, net income attributable to Deere & Company was $5.027 billion, or $18.50 per share, compared with $7.100 billion, or $25.62 per share, in fiscal 2024.
Worldwide net sales and revenues increased 11%, to $12.394 billion, for the fourth quarter of 2025 and decreased 12%, to $45.684 billion, for the full year. Net sales were $10.579 billion for the quarter and $38.917 billion for the year, compared with $9.275 billion and $44.759 billion in fiscal 2024, respectively.
"This past year brought its share of challenges and uncertainty, but thanks to the structural improvements we've made and the diverse customer segments and geographies we serve, we were able to achieve our best results yet for this point in the cycle," said John May, chairman and CEO of John Deere. "Our continued commitment to delivering customer value and focusing on operational efficiency enabled us to remain resilient and demonstrate the strength of our business."
Company Outlook & Summary
Net income attributable to Deere & Company for fiscal 2026 is forecasted to be in a range of $4.00 billion to $4.75 billion.
"Looking ahead, we believe 2026 will mark the bottom of the large ag cycle," May stated. "While ongoing margin pressures from tariffs and persistent challenges in the large ag sector remain, our commitment to inventory management and cost control, coupled with expected growth in small agriculture & turf and construction & forestry, positions us to effectively manage the business and seize emerging opportunities as market conditions begin to recover."

DEERE & COMPANY
Condensed Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(In millions of dollars) Unaudited
(1)Acquisitions
In 2025, the company acquired several small-scale 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 aimed at improving profitability, efficiency, and sustainability. In addition, the company acquired the remaining ownership interest of an equity method investment. The combined purchase price consideration for these acquisitions was $115 million, consisting of $101 million cash, net of cash acquired, and $14 million loan forgiven. The businesses were assigned to the Production & Precision Agriculture (PPA), Small Agriculture & Turf (SAT), and Construction & Forestry (CF) segments. Most of the purchase price for these acquisitions was allocated to goodwill and intangible assets.
(2)Special Items
Litigation Accrual
In the fourth quarter of 2025, the company increased the total accrued losses on unresolved legal matters in connection with a consolidated multidistrict class action antitrust lawsuit by $95 million pretax ($75 million after-tax) which was included in "Selling, administrative and general expenses."
Impairment of Intangible Assets
In the third quarter of 2025, the company recorded a non-cash impairment 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." This 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 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 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.
BJD was reclassified as held for sale in 2024, resulting in a net loss of $59 million pretax and after-tax due to the establishment of a $97 million valuation allowance on the assets held for sale and a $38 million reversal of allowance for credit losses. In the first quarter of 2025, a gain of $32 million pretax and after-tax was recorded in "Selling, administrative and general expenses" related to a decrease in valuation allowance. The valuation allowance changes are presented in "Impairments and other adjustments" in the statements of consolidated cash flows. No significant gain or loss was recognized upon completion of the transaction. The equity interest in BJD was valued at $362 million at the deconsolidation date.
Legal Settlements
The company reached legal settlements concerning patent infringement claims. As a result of these settlements, in the fourth quarter of 2024, the company recognized a total of $57 million pretax gain ($45 million after-tax) in "Other Income," providing a benefit of $17 million to PPA and $40 million to CF. These settlements resolve the disputes without any admission of liability by the parties involved. The company believes that these settlements enhance its ability to protect its intellectual property and reinforce its commitment to innovation and technological advancement.
Impairment of Investment in Unconsolidated Affiliate
In the fourth quarter of 2024, the company recorded a non-cash charge of $28 million pretax and after-tax in "Equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated affiliates" for an other than temporary decline in value of an investment recorded in SAT. This is presented in "Impairments and other adjustments" in the statements of consolidated cash flows.
Employee-Separation Programs
In the third quarter of 2024, the company implemented employee-separation programs for the company's salaried workforce in several geographic areas, including the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The programs' main purpose was to help meet the company's strategic priorities while reducing overlap and redundancy in roles and responsibilities. The programs were largely involuntary in nature with the expense recorded when management committed to a plan, the plan was communicated to the employees, and the employees were not required to provide service beyond the legal notification period. For the limited voluntary employee-separation programs, the expense was recorded in the period in which the employee irrevocably accepted a separation offer.
The programs' pretax expenses recorded for the periods ended October 27, 2024, by operating segment were as follows in millions of dollars:
