MOLINE, Ill., May 20, 2016 /CNW/ -- Net income attributable to
Deere & Company (NYSE: DE) was $495.4 million, or $1.56 per share, for the second quarter ended
April 30, compared with $690.5 million, or $2.03 per share, for the same period last
year.
For the first six months of the year, net income attributable to
Deere & Company was $749.8
million, or $2.36 per share,
compared with $1.077 billion, or
$3.14 per share, last year.
Worldwide net sales and revenues decreased 4 percent, to
$7.875 billion, for the second
quarter and declined 8 percent, to $13.400
billion, for six months. Net sales of the equipment
operations were $7.107 billion for
the quarter and $11.876 billion for
the first six months, compared with $7.399
billion and $13.004 billion
for the periods last year.
"John Deere's second-quarter performance reflected the
continuing impact of the downturn in the global farm economy and
further weakness in the construction equipment sector," said
Samuel R. Allen, chairman and chief
executive officer. "In the face of challenging market conditions,
Deere's businesses benefited from the sound execution of operating
plans, the strength of a broad product portfolio and our success
creating a more flexible cost structure."
Summary of Operations
Net sales of the worldwide equipment operations declined 4
percent for the quarter and 9 percent for the first six months
compared with the same periods a year ago. Sales included price
realization of 1 percent for both periods and an unfavorable
currency-translation effect of 2 percent for the quarter and 3
percent for six months. Equipment net sales in the United States and Canada decreased 6 percent for the quarter and
11 percent year to date. Outside the U.S. and Canada, net sales decreased 1 percent for the
quarter and 4 percent for the first six months, with unfavorable
currency-translation effects of 4 percent and 7 percent for the
periods.
Deere's equipment operations reported operating profit of
$688 million for the quarter and
$902 million for six months, compared
with $828 million and $1.242 billion last year. The declines for both
periods were primarily due to lower shipment volumes, the
unfavorable effects of foreign-currency exchange and the impact of
a less favorable product mix. These factors were partially offset
by price realization, lower production costs and lower selling,
administrative and general expenses.
Net income of the company's equipment operations was
$393 million for the second quarter
and $520 million for the first six
months, compared with $524 million
and $764 million for the
corresponding periods of 2015.
Financial services reported net income attributable to Deere
& Company of $102.6 million for
the quarter and $232.0 million for
six months compared with $169.8
million and $326.6 million
last year. Lower results for both periods were primarily due to
higher losses on lease residual values, less-favorable financing
spreads and a higher provision for credit losses. Results for the
first six months were also affected by the unfavorable effects of
foreign-currency exchange translation. Prior-year results benefited
from a gain on the sale of the crop insurance business.
Company Outlook & Summary
Company equipment sales are projected to decrease about 9
percent for fiscal 2016 and to be about 12 percent lower for the
third quarter compared with year-ago periods. Included in the
forecast is a negative foreign-currency translation effect of about
2 percent for the full year and 1 percent in the third quarter. For
fiscal 2016, net income attributable to Deere & Company is
anticipated to be about $1.2
billion.
"Although our forecast calls for lower results this year in
light of ongoing market pressures, Deere is continuing to perform
at a much higher level than in previous downturns," Allen said.
"Deere's financial condition remains strong and we believe the
company is well-positioned to capitalize on attractive growth
opportunities that will deliver value to our customers and
investors in the future. At the same time, we are continuing to
focus on ways to streamline our operations and make them more
efficient and profitable."
Equipment Division Performance
Agriculture & Turf. Sales were approximately the same
for the quarter and down 5 percent for six months. The decline
year-to-date was due largely to lower shipment volumes. Results for
both periods were impacted by the unfavorable effects of foreign-
currency translation, partially offset by price realization.
Operating profit was $614 million
for the quarter and $759 million year
to date, compared with $639 million
and $907 million, respectively, last
year. Lower results for both periods were driven primarily by the
unfavorable effects of foreign-currency exchange, lower shipment
volumes and a less favorable product mix, partially offset by price
realization, lower production costs and lower selling,
administrative and general expenses.
Construction & Forestry. Construction and forestry
sales decreased 16 percent for the quarter and 20 percent for six
months mainly as a result of lower shipment volumes and higher
sales-incentive costs.
Operating profit was $74 million
for the quarter and $143 million for
six months, compared with $189
million and $335 million for
the periods last year. Operating profit decreased for the quarter
mainly due to lower shipment volumes, higher sales-incentive costs
and a less favorable product mix, partially offset by lower
production costs and lower selling, administrative and general
expenses. Six-month results decreased primarily due to lower
shipment volumes and higher sales-incentive costs, partially offset
by lower selling, administrative and general expenses and lower
production costs.
Market Conditions & Outlook
Agriculture & Turf. Deere's worldwide sales of
agriculture and turf equipment are forecast to decrease by about 8
percent for fiscal-year 2016, including a negative
currency-translation effect of about 2 percent.
Industry sales for agricultural equipment in the U.S. and
Canada are forecast to be down 15
to 20 percent for 2016. The decline, reflecting the impact of low
commodity prices and stagnant farm incomes, is expected to be most
pronounced in the sale of higher-horsepower models.
Full-year 2016 industry sales in the EU28 are forecast to be
flat to down 5 percent, with the decline attributable to low
commodity prices and farm incomes, including continued pressure on
the dairy sector. In South
America, industry sales of tractors and combines are
projected to be down 15 to 20 percent mainly as a result of
economic and political concerns in Brazil. Asian sales are projected to be flat
to down slightly, due in part to weakness in China.
Industry sales of turf and utility equipment in the U.S. and
Canada are expected to be flat to
up 5 percent for 2016. Deere sales are expected to benefit from new
products and general economic growth.
Construction & Forestry. Deere's worldwide sales of
construction and forestry equipment are forecast to be down about
13 percent for 2016, including a negative currency-translation
effect of about 1 percent. The forecast decline in sales largely
reflects the impact of weak conditions in North America. In forestry, global industry
sales are expected to be down 5 to 10 percent from last year's
strong levels.
Financial Services. Fiscal-year 2016 net income
attributable to Deere & Company for the financial services
operations is expected to be approximately $480 million. The outlook reflects less-favorable
financing spreads, higher losses on lease residual values and an
increased provision for credit losses. Additionally, 2015 results
benefited from a gain on the sale of the crop insurance business.
John Deere Capital Corporation
The following is disclosed on behalf of the company's financial
services subsidiary,
John Deere Capital Corporation (JDCC), in connection with the
disclosure requirements applicable to its periodic issuance of debt
securities in the public market.
Net income attributable to John Deere Capital Corporation was
$69.6 million for the second quarter
and $169.4 million year to date,
compared with $115.9 million and
$249.5 million for the respective
periods last year. The decline for both periods was primarily due
to higher losses on lease residual values, less-favorable financing
spreads and a higher provision for credit losses.
Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $33.208 billion at April
30, 2016, compared with $32.877
billion last year.
Safe Harbor Statement
Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995: Statements under "Company Outlook &
Summary," "Market Conditions & Outlook," and other
forward-looking statements herein that relate to future events,
expectations, trends and operating periods involve certain factors
that are subject to change, and important risks and uncertainties
that could cause actual results to differ materially. Some of
these risks and uncertainties could affect particular lines of
business, while others could affect all of the company's
businesses.
The company's agricultural equipment business is subject to a
number of uncertainties including the many interrelated factors
that affect farmers' confidence and financial condition.
These factors include demand for agricultural products, world grain
stocks, weather conditions (including its effects on timely
planting and harvesting), soil conditions (including low subsoil
moisture), harvest yields, prices for commodities and livestock,
crop and livestock production expenses, availability of transport
for crops, the growth and sustainability of non-food uses for some
crops (including ethanol and biodiesel production), real estate
values, available acreage for farming, the land ownership policies
of various governments, changes in government farm programs and
policies (including those in Argentina, Brazil, China, the European Union, India, Russia
and the U.S.), international reaction to such programs, changes in
environmental regulations and their impact on farming practices;
changes in and effects of crop insurance programs, global trade
agreements, animal diseases and their effects on poultry, beef and
pork consumption and prices, crop pests and diseases, and the level
of farm product exports (including concerns about genetically
modified organisms).
Factors affecting the outlook for the company's turf and utility
equipment include consumer confidence, weather conditions, customer
profitability, consumer borrowing patterns, consumer purchasing
preferences, housing starts, infrastructure investment, spending by
municipalities and golf courses, and consumable input costs.
Consumer spending patterns, real estate and housing prices, the
number of housing starts and interest rates are especially
important to sales of the company's construction and forestry
equipment. The levels of public and non-residential
construction also impact the results of the company's construction
and forestry segment. Prices for pulp, paper, lumber and
structural panels are important to sales of forestry equipment.
All of the company's businesses and its reported results are
affected by general economic conditions in the global markets and
industries in which the company operates, especially material
changes in economic activity in these markets and industries;
customer confidence in general economic conditions; foreign
currency exchange rates and their volatility, especially
fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar; interest rates; and
inflation and deflation rates. Government spending and taxing
could adversely affect the economy, employment, consumer and
corporate spending, and company results.
Customer and company operations and results could be affected by
changes in weather patterns; the political and social stability of
the global markets in which the company operates; the effects of,
or response to, terrorism and security threats; wars and other
conflicts and the threat thereof and the response thereto; natural
disasters; and the spread of major epidemics.
Significant changes in market liquidity conditions and any
failure to comply with financial covenants in credit agreements
could impact access to funding and funding costs, which could
reduce the company's earnings and cash flows. Financial
market conditions could also negatively impact customer access to
capital for purchases of the company's products and customer
confidence and purchase decisions, borrowing and repayment
practices, and the number and size of customer loan delinquencies
and defaults. A debt crisis, in Europe or elsewhere, could negatively impact
currencies, global financial markets, social and political
stability, funding sources and costs, asset and obligation values,
customers, suppliers, demand for equipment, and company operations
and results. The company's investment management activities
could be impaired by changes in the equity, bond and other
financial markets, which would negatively affect earnings.
Additional factors that could materially affect the company's
operations, access to capital, expenses and results include changes
in and the impact of governmental trade, banking, monetary and
fiscal policies, including financial regulatory reform and its
effects on the consumer finance industry, derivatives, funding
costs and other areas, and governmental programs, policies, tariffs
and sanctions in particular jurisdictions or for the benefit of
certain industries or sectors (including protectionist, economic,
punitive and expropriation policies and trade and licensing
restrictions that could disrupt international commerce); actions by
the U.S. Federal Reserve Board and other central banks; actions by
the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the U.S.
Commodity Futures Trading Commission and other financial
regulators; actions by environmental, health and safety regulatory
agencies, including those related to engine emissions, carbon and
other greenhouse gas emissions, noise and the effects of climate
change; changes in labor regulations; changes to accounting
standards; changes in tax rates, estimates, and regulations and
company actions related thereto; compliance with U.S. and foreign
laws when expanding to new markets and otherwise; and actions by
other regulatory bodies including changes in laws and regulations
affecting the sectors in which the company operates. Trade,
financial and other sanctions imposed by the U.S., the European
Union, Russia and other countries
could negatively impact company assets, operations, sales,
forecasts and results. Customer and company operations and
results also could be affected by changes to GPS radio frequency
bands or their permitted uses.
Other factors that could materially affect results include
production, design and technological innovations and difficulties,
including capacity and supply constraints and prices; the
availability and prices of strategically sourced materials,
components and whole goods; delays or disruptions in the company's
supply chain or the loss of liquidity by suppliers; disruptions of
infrastructures that support communications, operations or
distribution; the failure of suppliers to comply with laws,
regulations and company policy pertaining to employment, human
rights, health, safety, the environment and other ethical business
practices; events that damage the company's reputation or brand;
significant investigations, claims, lawsuits or other legal
proceedings; start-up of new plants and new products; the success
of new product initiatives and customer acceptance of new products;
changes in customer product preferences and sales mix whether as a
result of changes in equipment design to meet government
regulations or for other reasons; gaps or limitations in rural
broadband coverage, capacity and speed needed to support technology
solutions; oil and energy prices, supplies and volatility; the
availability and cost of freight; actions of competitors in the
various industries in which the company competes, particularly
price discounting; dealer practices especially as to levels of new
and used field inventories; changes in demand and pricing for used
equipment; labor relations and contracts; acquisitions and
divestitures of businesses; the integration of new businesses; the
implementation of organizational changes; difficulties related to
the conversion and implementation of enterprise resource planning
systems that disrupt business, negatively impact supply or
distribution relationships or create higher than expected costs;
security breaches and other disruptions to the company's and
suppliers' information technology infrastructure; and changes in
company declared dividends and common stock issuances and
repurchases.
Company results are also affected by changes in the level and
funding of employee retirement benefits, changes in market values
of investment assets, the level of interest and discount rates, and
compensation, retirement and mortality rates which impact
retirement benefit costs, and significant changes in health care
costs including those which may result from governmental
action.
The liquidity and ongoing profitability of John Deere Capital
Corporation and other credit subsidiaries depend largely on timely
access to capital in order to meet future cash flow requirements,
to fund operations and costs associated with engaging in
diversified funding activities, and to fund purchases of the
company's products. If general economic conditions
deteriorate or capital markets become more volatile, funding could
be unavailable or insufficient. Additionally, customer
confidence levels may result in declines in credit applications and
increases in delinquencies and default rates, which could
materially impact write-offs and provisions for credit losses.
The company's outlook is based upon assumptions relating to the
factors described above, which are sometimes based upon estimates
and data prepared by government agencies. Such estimates and
data are often revised. The company, except as required by
law, undertakes no obligation to update or revise its outlook,
whether as a result of new developments or otherwise. Further
information concerning the company and its businesses, including
factors that potentially could materially affect the company's
financial results, is included in the company's other 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 quarterly reports on Form 10-Q).

The Company evaluates
its business results on the basis of accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States. In addition, it uses
a metric referred to as Shareholder Value Added (SVA), which
management believes is an appropriate measure for the performance
of its businesses. SVA is, in effect, the pretax profit left
over after subtracting the cost of enterprise capital. The
Company is aiming for a sustained creation of SVA and is using this
metric for various performance goals. Certain compensation is
also determined on the basis of performance using this
measure. For purposes of determining SVA, each of the
equipment segments is assessed a pretax cost of assets, which on an
annual basis is approximately 12 percent of the segment's average
identifiable operating assets during the applicable period with
inventory at standard cost. Management believes that valuing
inventories at standard cost more closely approximates the current
cost of inventory and the Company's investment in the asset.
The Financial Services segment is assessed an annual pretax cost of
approximately 15 percent of the segment's average equity. The
cost of assets or equity, as applicable, is deducted from the
operating profit or added to the operating loss of each segment to
determine the amount of SVA.
