	John Deere Capital Corporation’s revenue, net income, and ending portfolio balance for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2021 are set forth below:
			Third Quarter					Year to Date
	$ in millions		2021		2020		% Change	2021		2020		% Change
	Revenue		$	683	$	696	-2%	$	2,015	$	2,115	-5%

	Ending portfolio balance							$	41,508	$	38,766	7%
	Results in both periods were higher mainly due to income earned on a higher average portfolio, improvement on operating-lease residual values, and more-favorable financing spreads. Additionally, a lower provision for credit losses contributed to the improvement for the first nine months of fiscal 2021. Results for the nine-month period last year also included impairments on lease residual values.
