Other Events. |
|
|
|
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 $42.6 million for the second quarter and $114.5 million for the first six months of 2002, compared with $35.4 million and $79.9 million, respectively, 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 increases in income are due to higher gains on retail note sales, an improved financing spread and the income earned on Deere-dealer trade receivables. Partially offsetting these factors were loan-loss provisions recorded in the second quarter, including $28 million after-tax for potential losses related to two international trade finance customers that are affiliates of each other. In addition, JDCC incurred losses in Argentina related to the peso devaluation. |
|
|
|
Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $10.313 billion at April 30, 2002, compared with $8.230 billion one year ago. The increase resulted from acquisitions exceeding collections during the last twelve 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 $13.340 billion at April 30, 2002, compared with $10.195 billion at April 30, 2001. |
