Our operations are organized and reported in four business segments: Production & Precision Agriculture, Small Agriculture & Turf, Construction & Forestry, and Financial Services. This presentation is consistent with how the chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), who also serves as the Chairman of the Board, assesses the performance of the segments and makes decisions regarding resource allocations. Each segment has a group president responsible for managing financial performance and executing strategic initiatives.

Production & Precision Agriculture – PPA segment defines, develops, and delivers global equipment and technology solutions to unlock customer value for production-scale growers of large grains, small grains, cotton, and sugarcane.
Small Agriculture & Turf – SAT segment defines, develops, and delivers global equipment and technology solutions to unlock customer value for dairy and livestock producers, high-value and small acreage crop producers, and turf and utility customers.
Construction & Forestry – CF segment defines, develops, and delivers a broad range of machines and technology solutions organized along the earthmoving, forestry, and roadbuilding production systems.

The products and services produced by the segments above are primarily marketed through independent retail dealer networks and major retail outlets. For roadbuilding products in certain markets outside the U.S. and Canada, the products are sold through company-owned sales and service subsidiaries.

Financial Services – FS segment finances sales and leases by John Deere dealers of new and used production and precision agriculture equipment, small agriculture and turf equipment, and construction and forestry equipment. In addition, the FS segment provides wholesale financing to dealers of the foregoing equipment, finances retail revolving charge accounts, and offers extended equipment warranties.

The CEO evaluates the performance of the business segments based on operating profit, which for FS includes interest income and interest expense, and on identifiable segment operating assets. Segment operating profit and operating assets are measured using accounting policies consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements. Because of integrated manufacturing operations and common administrative and marketing support, a substantial number of allocations must be

made to determine operating segment data. Intersegment transactions are primarily made between the FS segment and PPA, SAT, and CF segments, and are recognized at current market prices.

Total identifiable assets assigned to the equipment operations operating segments are those the segments actively manage, consisting of trade receivables, inventories, property and equipment, intangible assets, and certain other assets. Corporate assets are managed on a consolidated basis, including cash and cash equivalents, retirement benefit net assets, goodwill, and deferred income tax assets. Financial Services assets include cash and cash equivalents, retirement benefits, and deferred income tax assets that are managed by the segment.
