The following is disclosed on behalf of the company's credit subsidiary, John Deere Capital Corporation (JDCC), in connection with the disclosure requirements applicable to its periodic issuance of debt securities in the public market. JDCC's net income was $71.9 million for the first quarter of 2002, compared with $44.5 million last year. As previously mentioned, beginning at the end of the last fiscal year, Deere Capital, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of JDCC, began acquiring most of the U.S. dealer receivables from Deere's equipment operations. The income earned on these receivables accounts for a majority of the improvement in net income. Higher income from the sale of retail notes, improved financing spreads, and a larger average portfolio of other receivables and leases also contributed to the improvement. Partially offsetting these factors was a $6 million after-tax loss related to the Argentine peso devaluation. |
Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $9.978 billion at January 31, 2002, compared with $7.826 billion one year ago. The increase resulted from acquisitions exceeding collections during the last 12 months -- including the acquisitions of the dealer receivables mentioned above -- partially offset by sales of retail notes. Net receivables and leases administered, which include receivables previously sold, totaled $12.730 billion at January 31, 2002, compared with $10.236 billion one year ago. |
