Results of Operations and Financial Condition and Other Events.

 

 

 

 

 

Net income attributable to John Deere Capital Corporation was $96.7 million for the fourth quarter and $319.4 million for the year, compared with $21.2 million and $149.2 million for the respective periods last year. Results were better for the quarter primarily due to a lower provision for credit losses, improved financing spreads, growth in the portfolio and lower losses in construction-equipment operating lease residual values. Full-year results were higher mainly due to improved financing spreads and a lower provision for credit losses.

 

Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $20.854 billion at October 31, 2010, compared with $18.965 billion last year.
