2 015 IN REVIEW
2015 AR_wrap aroun\ed cover_\final.indd \e 2 12\b30\b15 4:00 PM 3
John Deere in 2015 demonstrated its ability to deliver sound
performance in the midst of a severe downturn in the global
agricultural sector. Our results, though well below levels of 2014
and other recent years, reflected the skillful execution of our
business plans and our success controlling costs and asset levels.
As a result, the company was able to post solid profits in a
challenging environment while continuing to lay the groundwork
for expanding our customer base in the future.
For the fiscal year, Deere reported income of $1.94 billion on net
sales and revenues of $28.9 billion. This represented a 39 percent
decline in earnings and 22 percent lower net sales. Earnings per
share were down less than the decline in earnings, by 33 percent,
reflecting the impact of fewer shares outstanding due to
continued share repurchases.
The year’s results produced healthy levels of economic profit, or
Shareholder Valued Added* (SVA), meaning that operating profit
stayed above the cost of capital. SVA is the primary measure
used in managing the company and making investment decisions.
Since 2004, the company has generated economic profit
totaling almost $20 billion.
SVA was $774 million while consolidated cash flow from
operations totaled $3.74 billion. In addition to funding important
projects, these dollars helped us pay a record amount in
dividends to our investors and continue with an aggressive share-
repurchase program. Deere has increased the quarterly dividend
rate more than five-fold since 2004 and reduced the number
of shares outstanding by more than one-third.
In addition, the company maintained its strong financial
condition. At year-end, Deere’s equipment operations carried
nearly $3 billion of cash with relatively little debt. Our financial
services operation remained conservatively capitalized and
continued to benefit from outstanding credit quality.
BROAD LINEUP MAKING IMPACT
Though its profits were lower, the Agriculture and Turf (A&T)
division remained solidly profitable, with an operating margin
of 8 percent and return on operating assets of 16 percent.
Weathering Challenging Conditions,
Deere Achieves Solid Results
* SVA and OROA, referred to throughout this report, are non-GAAP financial measures. See page 15 for details.

conventional drivetrains.
CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
2015 AR_spreads_12_22.indd 3 12/30/15 3:56 PM 4
Introduction of new M-Series tracked and L-Series wheeled forestry machines
(843L feller buncher with 848L skidder in background) capped Deere’s
largest new-product investment in its forestry operations in recent years.
These results were achieved in spite of a sharp decline in the sale
of some of our most profitable models of equipment. During the
year, Deere’s largest division brought important products to
market and continued to broaden its customer base. The division
also benefited from growth in the sale of certain models of
small tractors and turf equipment.
Demand for products from the Construction and Forestry (C&F)
division weakened during the year, resulting in lower sales and
earnings. Still, C&F had a company-leading operating margin of
nearly 9 percent. Further, the division introduced additional
models of equipment for large contractors and completed the
first full year of operation at its new factories in Brazil.
Financial Services had record profits while financing the purchase
of roughly half of the new equipment sold by Deere during the year. Net income climbed to $633 million with the average loan
portfolio edging higher. The provision for credit losses equaled
a little more than a dollar for each $1,000 of portfolio value,
a sign of strong credit quality.
CREATING A DURABLE BUSINESS MODEL
In relation to the farm economy’s robust years earlier in the
decade, the current downturn has been quite dramatic.
Since peaking in 2013, industry sales of large agricultural
equipment in the United States have fallen more than
60 percent. Deere’s total equipment sales have declined more
than 25 percent from their high. Last year’s sales decline
was the company’s largest in percentage terms since the 1930s
and the largest-ever in dollars.
Even so, Deere reported the sixth-highest level of equipment
sales and earnings in its history. This kind of performance
highlights the continuing success of our efforts to create
a more durable business model and cultivate a wider range of

Deere’s growth plans in Southeast Asia. The machine is lightweight, fuel-efficient,
and easy to operate, all keys to winning market share in the region.
revenue sources. In 2015, we reduced selling, administrative,
and general costs by $400 million and held the line on research
and development expense. We also did a good job managing
receivables and inventories, especially in the agriculture and turf
operations. In addition, our performance showed the value
of having a well-rounded business lineup, which goes beyond
large tractors and combines. Company results were supported
by the sale of smaller tractors, hay and forage equipment,
commercial worksite products, turf equipment, and service parts.
GLOBAL TRENDS GUIDING PLANS
Longer term, our confidence in Deere’s future remains
undiminished. While farm cycles come and go, world demand
for grain and oilseeds has proved to be remarkably consistent,
increasing in all but two of the last 40 years and more than
doubling over the period. At the same time, trends such as
increased urbanization point to continuing growth in the need
for shelter and infrastructure.
These favorable prospects lie at the heart of our growth plans
and our belief that Deere’s businesses will benefit from demand
for productive equipment and advanced ser vices well into the
future. Given this positive long-term outlook, there is no reason a slowdown in the farm economy – something we’ve weathered
and overcome many times in the past – should hinder our
longer-term drive for higher sales and a larger market presence
throughout the world.
PURSUING A FAR-REACHING STRATEGY
Deere’s far-reaching operating strategy made further progress
in 2015. Captured in the phrase “Feet on the Ground, Eyes on
the Horizon,” the plan emphasizes managing safe, efficient
operations; providing high-quality, advanced products; and
investing to expand our competitive position in key markets.
The company is reinforcing its strategic plan by placing a more
intense focus on quality and innovation. We are doing so
because products of exceptional quality often earn higher levels
of customer satisfaction and claim a larger share of the market.
Similarly, when products come to market whose innovative
features transform an industry category – as Deere has done
in recent years with cotton pickers, sprayers, and planters –

positions Deere to participate in more bids and capture additional busin\
ess.
a strong customer response typically follows. Last year, the
company’s sweeping distinctive-quality effort made important
gains toward achieving targeted quality levels by the end
of 2016. We’ve had particular success improving our ability
to identif y and address quality issues before products leave
the factory floor.
During the year, Deere’s achievements in innovation won
a record 13 gold and silver medals at a leading European
farm show. We also received an unprecedented 13 awards for
innovation and engineering advancement from a respected
U.S. technical society. The company has a proud legacy in
quality and innovation. However, it’s imperative we take our
performance to the next level in support of our plans for
improved growth and profitability.
The company continued to re-evaluate its business portfolio in
2015, narrowing its focus on businesses that we believe will
have the greatest impact on our growth goals. During the year, we completed the sale of our crop insurance unit. This follows
earlier decisions to exit the water, landscapes, and wind-energy
businesses.
Late in the year and in early fiscal 2016, we announced a joint
venture and two acquisitions that will strengthen our position
in precision farming, a field likely to play a major role in
our industry’s future. The transactions involve two planter
companies and a software-development firm.
ADVANCED NEW PRODUCTS WINNING CUSTOMERS
In 2015, the company continued with an extensive launch
of new products that feature improvements in power, comfort,
performance, and emissions control. Highlighting new
agricultural equipment were four models of our first-ever line

of powerful four-track tractors and a new line of round balers,
as well as productive forage harvesters and a small tractor for
paddy-rice applications in Asia.
To serve the needs of large contractors, our construction and
forestry division introduced a hybrid-electric four-wheel-drive
loader that sets the standard for efficiency. Our forestry
operations marked Deere’s 50th year in the skidder business
with an all-new line of skidders, as well as harvesters and
feller bunchers.
In order to help customers get the most value from their
investment in our products, the company took further steps to
strengthen its world-class parts-distribution system. During
the year, we doubled the size of our distribution center in Brazil,
officially opened a new facility in India, and reconfigured our
warehouse in Russia.
Deere augmented its global financing capabilities by
establishing a retail-financing presence in Austria, Czech
Republic, Croatia, and Bolivia. With these moves, the company
now offers competitive financing to its customers in
49 countries. CITIZENSHIP EFFORTS MAKING A DIFFERENCE
Long a cornerstone of John Deere’s success, our citizenship
efforts continued making a meaningful impact in 2015.
Total company and Deere foundation support of citizenship
activities, whose focus includes solutions for world hunger,
improved educational opportunities, and economic
development, approached $30 million.
John Deere employees continued to enrich their communities
through extensive volunteer efforts that are becoming
more global in scale and saw significant expansion in Brazil
and India. Employee volunteer hours increased by more than
20 percent for the year, exceeding 100,000 for the first time.
In one highlight, a community improvement program led by
the Deere foundation was launched in a historic neighborhood
of Moline, Illinois. Based on a model used in company
communities in Brazil and India, the project encourages a
collaborative approach to revitalization, business development,
2015 AR_spreads_12_22.indd 7 12/30/15 3:56 PM 8and improved employment opportunities. In all, it is estimated
that more than 15 million people saw direct benefit from the
company’s citizenship activities in 2015.
Responsible citizenship is also reflected in our efforts to protect
the well-being of employees and safeguard the environment.
Deere maintained its exemplary safety record with over half of
our locations reporting no lost-time incidents during the year.
Both recordable injuries and those resulting in time away
from work remained at or near all-time lows.
On the environmental side, we exceeded our goal of recycling
75 percent of waste from our manufacturing facilities three
years ahead of the 2018 target date. Due to lower factory
volumes, we were challenged to make further progress on our
goals of reducing water and energy use and greenhouse gas
emissions by 15 percent relative to production. One illustration
of our commitment to lower greenhouse gas emissions is a
new solar-energy unit at our cab factory in Bruchsal, Germany.
It provides roughly 10 percent of the power needs of the factory
and nearby parts warehouse.
In other milestones, Deere again appeared in a prominent listing
of most-ethical companies, was featured in Fortune magazine’s
review of most-admired companies, and was recognized for
having one of the world’s 100 most-valuable brands.
In addition, we were cited as one of America’s top employers
by Forbes and named to listings of best places to work
in Mexico, Spain, and Luxembourg. These are further
acknowledgements of our ability to attract and develop
top employee talent.
INSPIRING UNITY AND PURPOSE
Although John Deere faces challenging conditions in the year
ahead, we firmly believe the company is on track for long-
term growth and success. Thanks to the tireless efforts of
employees, dealers, and suppliers everywhere, we are making
steady gains in helping meet the world’s growing need
for advanced equipment and solutions and providing value
to our customers each and every day.
Guidance, section control, and variable-rate seeding are precision agric\
ulture
technologies that are changing how customers plant their crops. As a result,
growers save on seed and get crops planted more accurately, helping boost yields.
Announced acquisitions should accelerate adoption of these technologies \
globally.

At the same time, we’re confident our actions to develop a
more durable business model will allow the company to continue
delivering solid results even in a depressed farm economy.
On visits to company locations throughout the world in 2015,
I was reminded time and again of the pride that our employees
and other stakeholders share in being associated with John Deere.
This pride has inspired a sense of unity and purpose that
transcends the bounds of language, culture, and nationality.
It also gives our company a powerful competitive advantage in
building its brand and attracting new customers.
All this reinforces my conviction that by working together we
can overcome present challenges, seize the great opportunities
the future holds, and leave no doubt that John Deere’s best days
are still to come!

CONVERSATION WITH THE CHAIRMAN
How would you characterize Deere’s
performance in 2015?
We had a really good year when you
consider the economic headwinds we
were dealing with. But, of course, that’s
exactly the kind of challenging situation
our operations have been preparing for.
The large-ag market in North America
has dropped over 50 percent in the last
couple of years. That’s generally our
leading source of profits. Yet we still
had our sixth-best year in equipment
sales and earnings. Deere never earned
more than $1.9 billion – what we made
last year – prior to 2008.
That tells you something about how far
the company has come in strengthening
its business model.
How have we accomplished that?
We’ve established a more variable cost
structure, for one thing. That, coupled
with an improving ability to match
factory production with customer orders,
has made a big impact. The key is being
able to anticipate changes in demand far
enough in advance to make the necessary
adjustments.
Our forecasting ability is getting better
all the time. Net income last year equaled
our original forecast, though we proved
too optimistic on sales, especially
for construction equipment. Another factor is having an organization
that is highly aligned in relation to our
goals. Employees have a clear idea of
where we’re headed and what is expected
of them. They believe in the company
and are deeply committed to its success.
Such constancy of purpose has a positive
effect on performance.
Deere adopted a corporate strategy
for the period 2010-18 calling for
a significant increase in sales and
profitability. How would you assess
our progress?
We’ve done well improving overall
profitability, especially return on sales,
throughout the business cycle. Our goal
was to establish a cost structure capable
of producing a 12 percent operating
margin at mid-cycle sales and we’re
confident we’ve accomplished that.
We haven’t made as much headway on
asset turns, which we’ d like to improve to
2.5 times. However, we’re confident we
can reach the goal, or be very close, by
the 2018 target date. Also, over a longer
period, the company has made definite
strides managing asset levels.
Concerning sales, we’ ll likely come up short
of our objective of $50 billion for mid-cycle
sales by 2018. The market opportunity we
envisioned in 2010 has gone down in size
due to issues like political instability in
Russia and slower growth in China and
Brazil. Also, we haven’t gained all the
market share we anticipated. That’s one
of the things our quality and innovation
initiatives are addressing. Sam Allen:
Deere Positioned
For Future Recovery
In spite of challenging market
conditions, Deere had solid
results in 2015 and continued
to lay the groundwork for
longer-term success. In this
interview, Deere Chairman and
CEO Sam Allen discusses the
company’s recent performance
and its focus on making
the investments in capacity,
quality, and innovation that
will help address the world’s
need for productive equipment
in the future.
2015 AR_spreads_12_22.indd 10 12/30/15 3:56 PM 11
All in all, though, the strategy has
resulted in stronger performance.
Our recent results are proof of that.
What does precision agriculture
mean to Deere?
Deere has been building a leadership
position in precision agriculture since the
introduction of yield monitors and
automatic guidance equipment starting
in the late 1990s. However, the pace has
really quickened in the last few years.
Technology has evolved to a point that
today our customers can see real-time
information about crop yield, moisture
content, or seeding singulation and
population, among other variables, from
the seat of their tractor or combine, or
even from their office. This information
can be used to create planting and
spraying prescriptions or make other
agronomic decisions.
Precision-farming tools provide customers
with information to be more profitable
and productive. They also help differentiate
Deere’s products and services and
could well open the door to new revenue
streams for the company.
We believe the announced acquisitions
of Monosem and Precision Planting,
as well as the SageInsights joint venture,
will give us even more momentum in
the precision-ag field. When do you see a rebound in store
for the agricultural sector?
Nobody knows the answer, but we do
know the current downturn is about
too much supply, not too little demand.
We’ve had bumper crops on a global scale
for several years now, which has caused
prices for grains and oilseeds to move
lower. Demand, however, has continued
to grow as it does almost every year.
It’s important to understand that
today’s crop surplus is not excessive and
could be absorbed pretty fast in case
of a widespread drought or other event
that disrupts production. If that were
to happen, you can bet it would have a
positive, and likely rapid, impact on
commodity prices and farm incomes. Another consideration is that Deere
sales rarely drop more than two years in a
row and, according to our records that
go back about 80 years, have never done
so for more than three. While history
isn’t always predictive, it suggests these
things typically sort themselves out in
a reasonably short period of time.
Whatever the case, we’re continuing to
refine our cost and asset structure with an
eye toward achieving good returns, even
in weak markets. At the same time, we’re
confident the investments we’ve made in
global capacity, product support, distinctive
quality, and advanced technology will
have a big impact on our performance
when markets resume their growth.
