John Deere Capital Corporation and Subsidiaries

Condensed Notes to Interim Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

(1) Organization and Consolidation

The interim consolidated financial statements of John Deere Capital Corporation (Capital Corporation) and its subsidiaries (collectively called the Company) have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. have been condensed or omitted as permitted by such rules and regulations. All adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. Management believes that the disclosures are adequate to present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. It is suggested that these interim consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing in the Company’s latest annual report on Form ~~10‑K.~~10-K. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of those to be expected for the fiscal year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and related disclosures. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

The Company uses a 52/53 week fiscal year with quarters ending on the last Sunday in the reporting period. The ~~second~~third quarter ends for fiscal year 2019 and 2018 were ~~April~~July 28, 2019 and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, respectively. Both periods contained 13 weeks.

The Company provides and administers financing for retail purchases of new equipment manufactured by Deere & Company’s agriculture and turf and construction and forestry operations and used equipment taken in trade for this equipment. The Company generally purchases retail installment sales and loan contracts (retail notes) from Deere & Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively called John Deere). John Deere generally acquires these retail notes through John Deere retail dealers. The Company also purchases and finances a limited amount of non-Deere retail notes. The Company also finances and services revolving charge accounts, in most cases acquired from and offered through merchants in the agriculture and turf and construction and forestry markets (revolving charge accounts). The Company also provides wholesale financing for inventories of John Deere agriculture and turf and construction and forestry equipment for dealers of those products (wholesale receivables). In addition, the Company leases John Deere equipment and a limited amount of ~~non‑Deere~~non-Deere equipment to retail customers (financing and operating leases). The Company also offers credit enhanced international export financing to select customers and dealers, which generally involves John Deere products. Retail notes, revolving charge accounts, wholesale receivables, and financing leases are collectively called “Receivables.” Receivables and equipment on operating leases are collectively called “Receivables and Leases.”

(2) New Accounting Standards

New Accounting Standards Adopted

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes the revenue recognition requirements in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 605, Revenue Recognition, using a modified-retrospective approach. The ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. A five-step model is used to determine the amount and timing of revenue recognized. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which amends ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments – Overall. This ASU changed the treatment for available-for-sale equity investments by recognizing unrealized fair value changes directly in net income and no longer in other comprehensive income (OCI). The Company does not own any available-for-sale equity securities. As a result, the adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-18, Restricted Cash, which amends ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows. The ASU requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The Company held restricted cash of ~~$91.5~~$90.1 million, $103.4 million, ~~$120.2~~$98.0 million, and $125.9 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, ~~April~~July 29, 2018, and October 29, 2017, respectively. The restricted cash primarily relates to the securitization of receivables and is reported in other assets on the consolidated balance sheet. The ASU was adopted using a retrospective transition approach resulting in an update to the 2018 statement of consolidated cash flows. The ASU did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In the first quarter of 2019, the Company early adopted ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The purpose of this ASU is to better align a company’s risk management activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships, simplify the hedge accounting requirements, and improve the disclosures of hedging arrangements. The adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements (see Note 10). The Company continues to evaluate potential additional hedge accounting relationships provided by the new standard to further improve risk management.

The Company also adopted the following standards in the first quarter of 2019, none of which had a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements:

Accounting Standards Updates


2016-15	Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, which amends ASC 230, Statement of Cash Flows
2016-16	Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, which amends ASC 740, Income Taxes
2017-01	Clarifying the Definition of a Business, which amends ASC 805, Business Combinations
2017-09	Scope of Modification Accounting, which amends ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation
2018-13	Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement, which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement
2018-16	Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes, which amends ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging

New Accounting Standards to be Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes ASC 840, Leases. The ASU’s primary change is the requirement for lessee entities to recognize a lease liability for payments and a right of use asset during the term of operating lease arrangements. The ASU does not significantly change the lessee’s recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Lessors’ accounting under the ASC is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-10, Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases and ASU No. 2018-11, Leases: Targeted Improvements. Both ASUs amend ASC 842, Leases. The provisions affecting the Company in these ASUs are an option that will not require earlier periods to be restated at the adoption date and an option for lessors, if certain criteria are met, to avoid separating the lease and nonlease components (such as preventative maintenance services) in an agreement. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20, Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors. This ASU provides an election for

lessors to exclude sales and related taxes from consideration in the contract, requires lessors to exclude from

revenue and expense lessor costs paid directly to a third party by lessees, and clarifies lessors’ accounting for variable payments related to both lease and nonlease components. In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, Leases: Codification Improvements. The ASU allows certain lessors, including captive finance companies, to use their cost as the fair value of the to-be-leased asset. The ASU also clarifies the presentation of lease payments in the statement of cash flows and the required transition disclosures. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2020. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements and ~~plans to~~will adopt the ASU using the modified-retrospective approach that will not require earlier periods to be restated.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which establishes ASC 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. The ASU revises the measurement of credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost from an incurred loss methodology to an expected loss methodology. The ASU affects receivables, debt securities, net investment in leases, and most other financial assets that represent a right to receive cash. Additional disclosures about significant estimates and credit quality are also required. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses. This ASU clarifies that receivables from operating leases are accounted for using the lease guidance and not as financial instruments. In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-05, Targeted Transition Relief, which amends ASC 326. This ASU provides an option to irrevocably elect to measure certain individual financial assets at fair value instead of amortized cost. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2021. The ASUs will be adopted using a modified-retrospective approach. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract, which amends ASC 350-40, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software. This ASU requires customers in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract to evaluate the implementation costs of the hosting arrangement using the guidance to develop internal-use software. The project development stage determines the implementation costs that are capitalized or expensed. Capitalized implementation costs are amortized over the term of the service arrangement and are presented in the same income statement line item as the service contract costs. The effective date will be the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt the ASU on a prospective basis. The Company is evaluating the potential effects on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments. The effective dates for the separate portions of the ASU and the expected effect on the consolidated financial statements are as follows: (1) clarifications to ASU No. 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, which is under evaluation, (2) clarifications to ASU No. 2017-12, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, is the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, with early adoption permitted, which will not have a material effect, and (3) clarifications to ASU No. 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, is the first quarter of fiscal year 2021, with early adoption permitted, which will not have a material effect.

(4)Receivables

Past due balances of Receivables still accruing finance income represent the total balance held (principal plus accrued interest) with any payment amounts 30 days or more past the contractual payment due date.

The Company monitors the credit quality of Receivables based on delinquency status. Non-performing Receivables represent loans for which the Company has ceased accruing finance income. Generally, when retail notes, revolving charge accounts, and finance lease accounts are 90 days delinquent, accrual of finance income and lease revenue is suspended. Generally, when a wholesale receivable becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company determines whether the accrual of finance income on interest-bearing wholesale receivables should be suspended. Finance income for non-performing Receivables is recognized on a cash basis. Accrual of finance income is generally resumed when the receivable becomes contractually current and collections are reasonably assured.

During the first quarter of 2019, the Company amended the timing in which finance income and lease revenue is generally suspended on retail notes, revolving charge accounts, and finance lease accounts from 120 days delinquent to 90 days delinquent. This change in estimate was made on a prospective basis and did not have a significant effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Management’s methodology to determine the collectability of delinquent accounts was not affected by the change.

Receivable balances are written off to the allowance for credit losses when, in the judgement of management, they are considered uncollectible. Generally, when retail notes and finance lease accounts are 120 days delinquent, the collateral is repossessed or the account is designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount, after charging the dealer’s withholding account, if any, is written off to the allowance for credit losses. Revolving charge accounts are generally deemed to be uncollectible and written off to the allowance for credit losses when delinquency reaches 120 days. Generally, when a wholesale account becomes 60 days delinquent, the Company determines whether the collateral should be repossessed or the account designated for litigation, and the estimated uncollectible amount is written off to the allowance for credit losses.

An age analysis of past due Receivables that are still accruing interest and non-performing Receivables was as follows (in millions of dollars):

Receivables are considered impaired when it is probable the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the contractual terms. Receivables reviewed for impairment generally include those that are either past due, or have provided bankruptcy notification, or require significant collection efforts. Receivables that are impaired are generally classified as ~~non‑performing.~~

non-performing.

A troubled debt restructuring is generally the modification of debt in which a creditor grants a concession it would not otherwise consider to a debtor that is experiencing financial difficulties. These modifications may include a reduction of the stated interest rate, an extension of the maturity dates, a reduction of the face amount or maturity amount of the debt, or a reduction of accrued interest. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019, the Company identified ~~135~~233 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, as troubled debt restructurings with aggregate balances of ~~$4.3~~$11.7 million ~~pre‑modification~~pre-modification and ~~$4.0~~$11.3 million ~~post‑modification.~~post-modification. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2018, there were ~~212~~286 Receivable contracts, primarily retail notes, with aggregate balances of ~~$11.2~~$16.2 million ~~pre‑modification~~pre-modification and ~~$10.6~~$15.4 million ~~post‑modification.~~post-modification. During these same periods, there were no significant troubled debt restructurings that subsequently defaulted and were written off. At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, the Company had no commitments to lend additional funds to borrowers whose accounts were modified in troubled debt restructurings.

(5) Securitization of Receivables

The Company, as a part of its overall funding strategy, periodically transfers certain Receivables (retail notes) into variable interest entities (VIEs) that are special purpose entities (SPEs), or ~~non‑VIE~~non-VIE banking operations, as part of its asset-backed securities programs (securitizations). The structure of these transactions is such that the transfer of the retail notes did not meet the accounting criteria for sales of receivables, and is, therefore, accounted for as a secured borrowing. SPEs utilized in securitizations of retail notes differ from other entities included in the Company’s consolidated statements because the assets they hold are legally isolated. Use of the assets held by the SPEs or the ~~non‑VIEs~~non-VIEs is restricted by terms of the documents governing the securitization transactions.

In these securitizations, the retail notes are transferred to certain SPEs or to non-VIE banking operations, which in turn issue debt to investors. The debt securities issued to the third party investors result in secured borrowings, which are recorded as “Securitization borrowings” on the balance sheet. The securitized retail notes are recorded as “Retail notes securitized” on the balance sheet. The total restricted assets on the consolidated balance sheet related to these securitizations include the retail notes securitized less an allowance for credit losses, and other assets primarily representing restricted cash. Restricted cash results from contractual requirements in securitized borrowing arrangements and serves as a credit enhancement. The restricted cash is used to satisfy payment deficiencies, if any, in the required payments on secured borrowings. The balance of restricted cash is contractually stipulated and is either a fixed amount as determined by the initial balance of the retail notes securitized or a fixed percentage of the outstanding balance of the retail notes securitized. The restriction is removed either after all secured borrowing payments are made or proportionally as these receivables are collected and borrowing obligations reduced. For those securitizations in which retail notes are transferred into SPEs, the SPEs supporting the secured borrowings are consolidated unless the Company does not have both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPEs’ economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. No additional support to these SPEs beyond what was previously contractually required has been provided during the reporting periods.

In certain securitizations, the Company consolidates the SPEs since it has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the SPEs’ economic performance through its role as servicer of all the Receivables held by the SPEs and the obligation through variable interests in the SPEs to absorb losses or receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the SPEs. The restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of the consolidated SPEs totaled ~~$2,770.9~~$3,425.2 million, $2,592.4 million, and ~~$2,488.9~~$2,970.7 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) of these SPEs totaled ~~$2,693.4~~$3,316.4 million, $2,519.6 million, and ~~$2,438.4~~$2,860.2 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, respectively. The credit holders of these SPEs do not have legal recourse to the Company’s general credit.

In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes to non-VIE banking operations, which are not consolidated since the Company does not have a controlling interest in the entities. The Company’s carrying values and interests related to the securitizations with the unconsolidated non-VIEs were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of ~~$611.7~~$532.6 million, $427.9 million, and ~~$572.8~~$502.2 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, respectively. The liabilities (securitization

~~(securitization~~ borrowings and accrued interest) were ~~$572.4~~$492.7 million, $399.8 million, and ~~$542.6~~$462.9 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, respectively.

In certain securitizations, the Company transfers retail notes into bank-sponsored, multi-seller, commercial paper conduits, which are SPEs that are not consolidated. The Company does not service a significant portion of the conduits’ receivables, and therefore, does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the conduits’ economic performance. These conduits provide a funding source to the Company (as well as other transferors into the conduit) as they fund the retail notes through the issuance of commercial paper. The Company’s carrying values and variable interest related to these conduits were restricted assets (retail notes securitized, allowance for credit losses, and other assets) of ~~$1,477.2~~$1,286.1 million, $1,033.2 million, and ~~$1,383.1~~$1,212.9 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, respectively. The liabilities (securitization borrowings and accrued interest) related to these conduits were ~~$1,382.0~~$1,189.6 million, $965.5 million, and ~~$1,310.3~~$1,117.9 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, respectively.

The Company’s carrying amount of the liabilities to the unconsolidated conduits, compared to the maximum exposure to loss related to these conduits, which would only be incurred in the event of a complete loss on the restricted assets was as follows (in millions of dollars):


	April 28
	2019

			July 28
			2019
Carrying value of liabilities	$	1,382.0	$	1,189.6
Maximum exposure to loss		1,477.2		1,286.1

The total assets of unconsolidated VIEs related to securitizations were approximately ~~$37.5~~$34.4 billion at ~~April~~July 28, 2019.

The components of consolidated restricted assets related to secured borrowings in securitization transactions were as follows (in millions of dollars):

The secured borrowings related to these restricted securitized retail notes are obligations that are payable as the retail notes are liquidated. Repayment of the secured borrowings depends primarily on cash flows generated by the restricted assets. Due to the Company's short-term credit rating, cash collections from these restricted assets are not required to be placed into a segregated collection account until immediately prior to the time payment is required to the secured creditors. At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, the maximum remaining term of all restricted securitized retail notes was approximately ~~seven~~six years.

(6) Notes Receivable from John Deere

The Company makes loans to affiliated companies. The Company receives interest from John Deere at competitive market interest rates. The lending agreements mature over the next ~~six~~seven years. Interest earned from John Deere was ~~$4.0~~$4.5 million in the ~~second~~third quarter and ~~$7.6~~$12.1 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019, compared with ~~$2.3~~$2.8 million and ~~$5.1~~$8.0 million for the same periods last year.

The Company had notes receivable from John Deere with the following affiliated companies as follows (in millions of dollars):

(7) Commitments and Contingencies

At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, John Deere Financial Inc., the John Deere finance subsidiary in Canada, had ~~$852.8~~$1,139.7 million of medium-term notes outstanding, and a fair value liability of ~~$24.7~~$24.6 million for derivatives outstanding, prior to considering applicable netting provisions, with a notional amount of ~~$2,708.9~~$2,505.1 million that were guaranteed by Capital Corporation. The weighted average interest rate on the medium-term notes at ~~April~~July 28, 2019 was ~~2.9~~2.7 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately five years.

Capital Corporation has a variable interest in John Deere Canada Funding Inc. (JDCFI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of John Deere Financial Inc., which was created as a VIE to issue debt in public markets to fund the operations of affiliated companies in Canada. Capital Corporation has a variable interest in JDCFI because it provides guarantees for all debt issued by JDCFI, however it does not consolidate JDCFI because it does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact JDCFI’s economic performance. Capital Corporation has no carrying value of assets or liabilities related to JDCFI. Its maximum exposure to loss is the amount of the debt issued by JDCFI and guaranteed by Capital Corporation, which was ~~$1,853.9~~$1,671.6 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019. The weighted average interest rate on the debt at ~~April~~July 28, 2019 was 2.3 percent with a maximum remaining maturity of approximately four years. No additional support beyond what was previously contractually required has been provided to JDCFI during the reporting periods.

The Company has commitments to extend credit to customers and John Deere dealers through lines of credit and other pre-approved credit arrangements. The Company applies the same credit policies and approval process for these commitments to extend credit as it does for its Receivables. Collateral is not required for these commitments, but if credit is extended, collateral may be required upon funding. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to John Deere dealers was ~~$5.6~~$6.3 billion at ~~April~~July 28, 2019. The amount of unused commitments to extend credit to customers was ~~$29.3~~$28.6 billion at ~~April~~July 28, 2019. A significant portion of these commitments is not expected to be fully drawn upon; therefore, the total commitment amounts likely do not represent a future cash requirement. The Company generally has the right to unconditionally cancel, alter, or amend the terms of these commitments at any time. Over 95 percent of the unused commitments to extend credit to customers relate to revolving charge accounts. At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, Capital Corporation had ~~$60.3~~$44.3 million in unused loan commitments denominated in rubles to Limited Liability Company John Deere Financial, the John Deere finance subsidiary in Russia.

At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, the Company had restricted other assets associated with borrowings related to securitizations (see Note 5). Excluding the securitization programs, the remaining balance of restricted other assets was not material as of ~~April~~July 28, 2019.

The Company is subject to various unresolved legal actions which arise in the normal course of its business, the most prevalent of which relate to retail credit matters. The Company believes the reasonably possible range of losses for these unresolved legal actions would not have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.

(8) Income Taxes

In 2019, the Company is subject to additional provisions of the U.S. tax reform legislation enacted in December 2017 (tax reform). ~~Tax reform reduced the corporate income tax rate and transitioned from a worldwide corporate tax system to a modified territorial corporate tax system.~~ The Company’s 2019 U.S. statutory corporate income tax rate is 21 percent and was approximately 23.3 percent for 2018. The provisions of tax reform affecting the Company in 2019 include a tax on global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI), a tax determined by base erosion and anti-abuse tax benefits (BEAT) for certain payments between a U.S. corporation and foreign subsidiaries, a limitation on the deductibility of certain executive compensation, a deduction for foreign derived intangible income (FDII), and interest expense limitations. Based on the current interpretations of tax reform legislation and related regulations, along with the Company’s 2019 forecasts, the Company does not expect the combined effect of these provisions to be significant for the 2019 provision for income taxes.

In 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded discrete tax ~~measurement period~~ adjustments related to the remeasurement of the Company’s net deferred tax liabilities to the new corporate income tax rate and ~~a tax expense related to~~for the deemed earnings repatriation tax (repatriation tax). Those adjustments for the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in millions of dollars):


	April 29, 2018
	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended

					Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
					July 28		July 29		July 28		July 29
					2019		2018		2019		2018
Net deferred tax liability remeasurement	$	(18.5)	$	(322.4)			$	(3.6)	$	4.8	$	(326.0)
Deemed earnings repatriation tax		.1		15.7	$	(13.9)				(13.9)		15.7
Total discrete tax (benefit) expense	$	(18.4)	$	(306.7)	$	(13.9)	$	(3.6)	$	(9.1)	$	(310.3)

The full year 2018 discrete tax benefit for the remeasurement of the net deferred tax liabilities was $362.9 million and the repatriation tax expense was $20.6 million. The ~~final~~ repatriation tax ~~amount will be determined later~~determination for the 2018 U.S. income tax return was completed in the third quarter of 2019 and resulted in a discrete tax benefit of approximately $13.9 million. The discrete benefit was based on adjustments from completing the 2018 income tax ~~filings~~returns and the interpretation of ~~regulations. Based on current~~the tax law and associated regulations for the repatriation tax, primarily related to fiscal year end companies. The Company paid the repatriation tax in 2019 with ~~an expected~~a U.S. income tax overpayment.

The taxable income of the Company is included in the consolidated U.S. income tax return of Deere & Company. Under a tax sharing agreement with Deere & Company, the Company’s provision (credit) for income taxes is generally recorded as if Capital Corporation and each of its subsidiaries filed separate income tax returns, with a modification for realizability of certain tax benefits. The difference between the provision (credit) for income taxes recorded by the Company and the provision (credit) for income taxes calculated on an unmodified, separate return basis was not significant for any periods presented.

The Company’s unrecognized tax benefits at ~~April~~July 28, 2019 were ~~$30.4~~$32.6 million, compared to $36.3 million at October 28, 2018. The liability at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018 consisted of approximately ~~$15.4~~$16.4 million, $19.4 million, and ~~$19.8~~$17.8 million, respectively, which would affect the effective tax rate if the tax benefits were recognized. The remaining liability was related to tax positions for which there are offsetting tax receivables, or the uncertainty was only related to timing. The Company expects that any reasonably possible change in the amounts of unrecognized tax benefits in the next 12 months would not be significant.

(9) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To determine fair value, the Company uses various methods including market and income approaches. The Company utilizes valuation models and techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs. The models are industry-standard models that consider various assumptions including time values and yield curves as well as other economic measures. These valuation techniques are consistently applied.

Level 1 measurements consist of quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 measurements include significant other observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets; observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves; and other market-corroborated inputs. Level 3 measurements include significant unobservable inputs.

The fair values of financial instruments that do not approximate the carrying values were as follows (in millions of dollars):


	April 28, 2019				October 28, 2018				April 29, 2018
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Value		Value *		Value		Value *		Value		Value *

* Fair value measurements above were Level 3 for all Receivables and Level 2 for all borrowings.

Fair values of Receivables that were issued long-term were based on the discounted values of their related cash flows at interest rates currently being offered by the Company for similar Receivables. The fair values of the remaining Receivables approximated the carrying amounts.

Fair values of long-term borrowings and short-term securitization borrowings were based on current market quotes for identical or similar borrowings and credit risk, or on the discounted values of their related cash flows at current market interest rates. Certain long-term borrowings have been swapped to current variable interest rates. The carrying values of these long-term borrowings include adjustments related to fair value hedges.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value as Level 2 measurements on a recurring basis were as follows (in millions of dollars):

* Excluded from this table were the Company’s cash equivalents, which were carried at cost that approximates fair value. The cash equivalents consist primarily of time deposits and money market funds.

The international debt securities mature within one year or less. At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, the amortized cost basis and fair value of these available-for-sale debt securities were ~~$4.0~~$6.9 million and ~~$4.0~~$6.9 million, respectively.

Fair value, nonrecurring Level 3 measurements related to Receivables with specific allowances were not significant during any periods presented. See Note 4 for additional information.

The following is a description of the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure certain financial instruments on the balance sheet at fair value:

Marketable Securities – The international debt securities were valued using quoted prices for identical assets in inactive markets.

Derivatives – The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist of interest rate swaps and caps, foreign currency forwards and swaps, and cross-currency interest rate swaps. The portfolio is valued based on an income approach (discounted cash flow) using market observable inputs, including swap curves and both forward and spot exchange rates for currencies.

Receivables – Specific reserve impairments are based on the fair value of the collateral, which is measured using a market approach (appraisal values or realizable values). Inputs include a selection of realizable values.

(10) Derivative Instruments

It is the Company’s policy that derivative transactions are executed only to manage exposures arising in the normal course of business and not for the purpose of creating speculative positions or trading. The Company manages the relationship of the types and amounts of its funding sources to its Receivable and Lease portfolios in an effort to diminish risk due to interest rate and foreign currency fluctuations, while responding to favorable

financing opportunities. The Company also has foreign currency exposures at some of its foreign and domestic operations related to financing in currencies other than the functional currencies.

All derivatives are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet. Cash collateral received or paid is not offset against the derivative fair values on the balance sheet. Each derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, a fair value hedge, or remains undesignated. All designated hedges are formally documented as to the relationship with the hedged item as well as the risk-management strategy. Both at inception and on an ongoing basis the hedging instrument is assessed as to its effectiveness. If and when a derivative is determined not to be highly effective as a hedge, or the underlying hedged transaction is no longer likely to occur, or the hedge designation is removed, or the derivative is terminated, hedge accounting is discontinued.

Cash flow hedges

Certain interest rate contracts (swaps) were designated as hedges of future cash flows from borrowings. The total notional amounts of the receive-variable/pay-fixed interest rate contracts at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018 were ~~$2,800.0~~$2,500.0 million, $3,050.0 million, and ~~$1,800.0~~$2,400.0 million, respectively. Fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges were recorded in OCI and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transactions affected earnings. These amounts offset the effects of interest rate changes on the related borrowings. The cash flows from these contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows.

The amount of ~~gain~~loss recorded in OCI at ~~April~~July 28, 2019 that is expected to be reclassified to interest expense in the next twelve months if interest rates remain unchanged is approximately ~~$1.2~~$5.1 million after-tax. ~~These contracts mature in up to 20 months.~~ There were no gains or losses reclassified from OCI to earnings based on the probability that the original forecasted transaction would not occur.

Fair value hedges

Certain interest rate contracts (swaps) were designated as fair value hedges of borrowings. The total notional amounts of these receive-fixed/pay-variable interest rate contracts at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018 were ~~$9,093.2~~$8,864.9 million, $8,096.6 million, and ~~$8,071.6~~$7,562.2 million, respectively. The fair value gains or losses on these contracts were generally offset by fair value gains or losses on the hedged items (fixed-rate borrowings) with both items recorded in interest expense.

The amounts recorded in the consolidated balance sheet related to borrowings designated in fair value hedging relationships were as ~~follows:~~follows (in millions of dollars):


			Cumulative Increase (Decrease) of Fair Value

Derivatives not designated as hedging instruments

The Company has certain interest rate contracts (swaps and caps), foreign exchange contracts (forwards and swaps), and cross-currency interest rate contracts (swaps), which were not formally designated as hedges. These derivatives were held as economic hedges for underlying interest rate or foreign currency exposures primarily for certain borrowings. The total notional amounts of these interest rate swaps at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018 were ~~$1,880.3~~$1,963.0 million, $1,899.6 million, and ~~$2,419.9~~$1,766.2 million, the foreign exchange contracts were ~~$2,261.5~~$1,034.2 million, $1,564.3 million, and ~~$1,487.4~~$2,144.1 million, and the ~~cross‑currency~~cross-currency interest rate contracts were ~~$89.5~~$81.9 million, $71.8 million, and ~~$82.4~~$86.1 million, respectively. ~~At April~~To facilitate borrowings through securitization of retail notes, interest rate caps were sold with notional amounts of

$1,813.8 million, $1,519.1 million, and $1,715.2 million at July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, ~~there~~respectively. Interest rate caps were also ~~$2,034.0~~purchased with notional amounts of $1,813.8 million, $1,519.1 million, and ~~$1,932.5~~$1,715.2 million

~~respectively, of interest rate caps purchased and the same amounts sold~~ at the same ~~capped interest rate to facilitate borrowings through securitization of retail notes.~~dates. The fair value gains or losses from the interest rate contracts were recognized currently in interest expense and the gains or losses from foreign exchange contracts in administrative and operating expenses, generally offsetting over time the expenses on the exposures being hedged. The cash flows from these non-designated contracts were recorded in operating activities in the statement of consolidated cash flows.

Included in the table above are interest expense and administrative and operating expense amounts the Company incurred on derivatives transacted with John Deere. The amounts the Company recognized on these affiliate party transactions for the three months ended ~~April~~July 28, 2019 and ~~April~~July 29, 2018 were a gain of ~~$133.9~~$184.2 million and a loss of ~~$120.0~~$10.3 million, respectively. The amounts the Company recognized on these affiliate party transactions for the ~~six~~nine months ended ~~April~~July 28, 2019 and ~~April~~July 29, 2018 were a gain of ~~$260.2~~$444.4 million and a loss of ~~$254.7~~$265.0 million, respectively.

Counterparty Risk and Collateral

Derivative instruments are subject to significant concentrations of credit risk to the banking sector. The Company manages individual unrelated external counterparty exposure by setting limits that consider the credit rating of the unrelated external counterparty, the credit default swap spread of the counterparty, and other financial commitments and exposures between the Company and the unrelated external counterparty banks. All interest rate derivatives are transacted under International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) documentation. Each master agreement executed with an unrelated external counterparty permits the net settlement of amounts owed in the event of default or termination.

The Company’s outstanding derivatives have been transacted with both unrelated external counterparties and with John Deere. For derivatives transacted with John Deere, the Company utilizes a centralized hedging structure in which John Deere enters into a derivative transaction with an unrelated external counterparty and simultaneously enters into a derivative transaction with the Company. Except for collateral provisions, the terms of the transaction between the Company and John Deere are identical to the terms of the transaction between John Deere and its unrelated external counterparty.

Certain of the Company’s derivative agreements executed directly with the unrelated external counterparties contain credit support provisions that may require the Company to post collateral based on the size of the net liability positions and credit ratings. At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, there were no aggregate liability positions for derivatives with credit-risk-related contingent features. If the ~~credit‑risk‑related~~credit-risk-related contingent features were triggered, the Company would be required to post collateral up to an amount equal to any liability position, prior to considering applicable netting provisions.

The Company also has ISDA agreements with John Deere that permit the net settlement of amounts owed between counterparties in the event of early termination. In addition, the Company has a loss sharing agreement with John Deere in which it has agreed to absorb any losses and expenses John Deere incurs if an unrelated external counterparty fails to meet its obligations on a derivative transaction that John Deere entered into to manage exposures of the Company. The loss sharing agreement ~~increased the maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur, after considering collateral received and netting arrangements, by $17.4 million as of April 28, 2019. The loss sharing agreement~~ did not increase the maximum amount of loss that the Company would incur, after considering collateral received and netting arrangements, as of July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018.

Derivatives are recorded without offsetting for netting arrangements or collateral. The impact on the derivative assets and liabilities for external derivatives and those with John Deere related to netting arrangements and any collateral received or paid were as follows (in millions of dollars):

Item 2.Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Results of Operations

Overview

Organization

The Company primarily generates revenues and cash by financing John Deere dealers’ sales and leases of new and used agriculture and turf equipment and construction and forestry equipment. In addition, the Company also provides wholesale financing to dealers of the foregoing equipment and finances retail revolving charge accounts.

Trends and Economic Conditions

~~The Company’s business is closely related to John Deere’s business.~~ Industry sales of agricultural ~~machinery~~equipment in the U.S. and Canada ~~are forecast to be about the same to 5 percent higher~~as well as for ~~2019. Full year 2019 industry sales in~~ the European Union (EU) 28 nations are forecast to be about the ~~same.~~same as last year. South American industry sales of tractors and combines are projected to be about the same to 5 percent higher. Asian sales are forecast to be about the same or decrease slightly. Industry sales of turf and utility equipment in the U.S. and Canada are expected to be about the same to 5 percent higher for 2019. John Deere’s agriculture and turf segment sales ~~increased 3~~decreased 6 percent in the ~~second~~third quarter and 6increased 2 percent for the first ~~six~~nine months. These sales are forecast to increase about 2 percent for fiscal year 2019. Construction equipment markets reflect generally positive fundamentals and economic growth worldwide. In forestry, global industry sales are expected to be about the same to 5 percent higher. John Deere’s construction and forestry segment sales increased 111 percent in the ~~second~~third quarter and 1911 percent for the first ~~six~~nine months. These sales are forecast to increase about 1110 percent in 2019, with the two additional months of Wirtgen adding 4 percent to segment sales.

John ~~Deere produced solid~~Deere’s third quarter results ~~for~~reflect the ~~second quarter despite uncertain conditions~~uncertainty that continues in the agricultural sector. Concerns about export market access, near-term demand for commodities, and ~~a delayed planting season in much of North America are causing~~overall crop conditions have caused farmers to ~~become much more cautious about~~postpone major equipment purchases. ~~Overall~~General economic conditions remain positive and ~~along with a growing customer base have contributed~~are contributing to strong results ~~from~~for the construction and forestry business. The conditions in the agricultural sector have led John Deere to adopt a more cautious financial outlook for the year with plans to reduce production levels below retail sales for the second half of the year. John Deere’s long-term strategies remain on track. The global customer base continues to expand and John Deere is encouraged by the market’s positive response to its products and services. John Deere is assessing its cost structure through reviews of organization efficiency, a footprint assessment, and an increased focus on investments with the most opportunity for differentiation.

Net income attributable to the Company in fiscal year 2019 is projected to be approximately ~~$470~~$490 million. Net income attributable to the Company in fiscal year 2018 of $799 million included a tax benefit related to tax reform of $342 million. Excluding the 2018 benefit from tax ~~benefit,~~reform, results are expected to benefit from a higher average portfolio and favorable adjustments to the provision for income taxes, partially offset by ~~less favorable~~unfavorable financing spreads, higher losses on operating lease residual values, and a higher provision for credit losses.

Items of concern include trade agreements, the uncertainty of the effectiveness of governmental actions in respect to monetary and fiscal policies, the impact of sovereign debt, eurozone and Argentine issues, capital market disruptions, ~~trade agreements,~~ changes in demand and pricing for used equipment, and geopolitical events. Significant fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and volatility in the price of many commodities could also impact the Company’s results.

The increase in interest expense for the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2019 was primarily due to higher average borrowing rates and higher average borrowings.

The provision for credit losses for the third quarter decreased primarily due to lower net write-offs of revolving charge accounts. The provision for credit losses for the first nine months of 2019 increased ~~in both periods,~~ primarily due to higher net write-offs of revolving charge ~~accounts.~~accounts and retail notes. The annualized provision for credit losses, as a percentage of the average balance of total Receivables financed, was ~~.33~~.29 percent in the ~~second~~third quarter and ~~.18~~.21 percent in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019, compared with ~~.19~~.37 percent and ~~.11~~.20 percent for the same periods last year. See the Company's most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K for further information regarding the Company's allowance for credit losses policies.

The depreciation of equipment on operating leases for the ~~second~~third quarter and first ~~six~~nine months of 2019 increased primarily due to higher average balances of equipment on operating leases.

The provision for income taxes decreased in the third quarter primarily due to favorable discrete tax adjustments. The higher provision for income taxes in the ~~second quarter and~~ first ~~six~~nine months of 2019 was primarily related to the tax reform benefits recorded in the prior year. See Note 8 to the interim consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

The Company’s ratio of earnings to fixed charges was ~~1.47~~1.61 to 1 for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2019, compared with ~~1.69~~1.76 to 1 for the ~~second~~third quarter of 2018.

Receivables 30 days or more past due continue to accrue finance income. The Company ceases to accrue finance income once Receivables are considered non-performing. An allowance for credit losses is recorded for the estimated uncollectible amount.

The allowance is subject to an ongoing evaluation based on many quantitative and qualitative factors, including historical net loss experience by product category, portfolio duration, delinquency trends, economic conditions in the Company’s major markets and geographies, and credit risk quality. The Company believes its allowance is sufficient to provide for losses inherent in its existing Receivable portfolio.

Safe Harbor Statement

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995: Statements under “Overview” and other forward-looking statements herein that relate to future events, expectations and trends involve factors that are subject to change, and risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially.

Factors that could materially affect the Company’s operations, access to capital, expenses, and results include changes in, uncertainty surrounding and the impact of governmental trade, banking, monetary, and fiscal policies, including financial regulatory reform and its effects on the consumer finance industry, derivatives, funding costs, and other areas. Actions by central banks, financial, and securities regulators may affect the costs and expenses of financing the Company and the financing rates it is able to offer. The Company’s business is affected by general economic conditions in the global markets in which the Company operates because deteriorating economic conditions and political instability can result in decreased customer confidence, lower demand for equipment, higher credit losses, and greater currency risk. The Company’s business is also affected by actions of banks, financing and leasing companies, and other lenders that compete with the Company for customers; capital market disruptions; significant changes in capital market liquidity and associated funding costs; interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates and their volatility; changes to and compliance with privacy regulations; changes in weather patterns; the political and social stability of the global markets in which the Company operates; the effects of, or response to, terrorism and security threats; wars and other conflicts; natural disasters; and the spread of major epidemics.

Significant changes in market liquidity conditions, changes in the Company’s credit ratings, and any failure to comply with financial covenants in credit agreements could impact access to funding and funding costs, which could reduce the Company’s earnings and cash flows. Financial market conditions could also negatively impact customer access to capital for purchases of John Deere’s products and customer confidence and purchase decisions, borrowing and repayment practices, and the number and size of customer loan delinquencies and defaults. A debt crisis, in Europe or elsewhere, could negatively impact currencies, global financial markets, social and political stability, funding sources and costs, asset and obligation values, customers, and Company operations and results. Security breaches, cybersecurity attacks, technology failures, and other disruptions to the Company’s information technology infrastructure also could materially affect results. The Company’s operations could be impaired by changes in the equity, bond, and other financial markets, which would negatively affect earnings.

The anticipated withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union and the perceptions as to the impact of the withdrawal may adversely affect business activity, political stability, and economic conditions in the United Kingdom, the European Union, and elsewhere. The economic conditions and outlook could be further adversely affected by (i) the uncertainty concerning the timing and terms of the exit, (ii) new or modified trading arrangements between the United Kingdom and other countries, (iii) the risk that one or more other European Union countries could come under increasing pressure to leave the European Union, or (iv) the risk that the euro as the single currency of the Eurozone could cease to exist. Any of these developments, or the perception that any of these developments are likely to occur, could affect economic growth or business activity in the United Kingdom or the European Union, and could result in the relocation of businesses, cause business interruptions, lead to economic recession or depression, and impact the stability of the financial markets, availability of credit, currency exchange rates, interest rates, financial institutions, and political, financial, and monetary systems. Any of these developments could affect our businesses, liquidity, results of operations, and financial position.

The liquidity and ongoing profitability of the Company depend largely on timely access to capital in order to meet future cash flow requirements, and to fund operations, costs, and purchases of John Deere’s products. If general economic conditions deteriorate or capital markets become more volatile, funding could be unavailable or insufficient. Additionally, customer confidence levels may result in declines in credit applications and increases in delinquencies and default rates, which could materially impact the Company’s write-offs and provision for credit losses.

In addition, the Company’s business is closely related to John Deere’s business. Further information, including factors that could materially affect the Company’s and John Deere’s financial results, is included in the most recent Deere & Company Form 10-K and Form 10-Q (including, but not limited to, the factors discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of the Form 10-K and quarterly reports on Form 10-Q) and other Deere & Company and Capital Corporation quarterly and other filings with the SEC.

Critical Accounting Policies

See the Company’s critical accounting policies discussed in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of the most recent annual report filed on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to these policies.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

For additional information on the Company's dependence on and relationships with Deere & Company, see the Company's most recently filed annual report on Form 10-K.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019, the aggregate net cash provided by operating and ~~investing~~financing activities was used primarily to fund Receivables and Leases. Net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$1,019.7~~$1,364.9 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled ~~$1,626.6~~$2,627.5 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019, resulting primarily from an increase in total external borrowings of ~~$2,175.1~~$1,984.4 million ~~partially offset by~~and a net ~~decrease~~increase in payables to John Deere of ~~$302.4~~$948.1 million, ~~and~~partially offset by dividends paid of ~~$230.0~~$280.0 million. Net cash used by investing activities totaled ~~$2,736.4~~$3,958.7 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019, primarily due to an increase in net wholesale receivables of ~~$2,863.7~~$2,362.5 million and the cost of equipment on operating leases acquired exceeding proceeds from sales of equipment on operating leases by ~~$435.3~~$802.1 million ~~partially offset by the collections of Receivables (excluding wholesale) exceeding~~and the cost of Receivables acquired (excluding wholesale) exceeding the collections of Receivables (excluding wholesale) by ~~$631.0~~$668.7 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash ~~decreased $94.6~~increased $27.4 million during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2018, the aggregate net cash provided by operating and financing activities was used primarily to fund Receivables and Leases. Net cash provided by operating activities was ~~$643.5~~$976.6 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2018. Net cash provided by financing activities totaled ~~$1,363.9~~$2,505.2 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2018, resulting primarily from an increase in total external borrowings of ~~$921.5~~$1,880.1 million and a net increase in payables to John Deere of ~~$823.9~~$1,011.8 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $365.0 million. Net cash used for investing activities totaled ~~$2,008.0~~$3,481.2 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2018, primarily due to an increase in net wholesale receivables of ~~$2,195.5~~$2,188.8 million, ~~and~~ the cost of equipment on operating leases acquired exceeding proceeds from sales of equipment on operating leases by ~~$464.1~~$737.7 million, ~~partially offset by the collections of Receivables (excluding wholesale) exceeding~~and the cost of Receivables acquired (excluding wholesale) exceeding the collections of Receivables (excluding wholesale) by ~~$672.2~~$486.6 million. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash decreased ~~$.3~~$11.0 million during the first ~~six~~nine months of 2018.

The Company relies on its ability to raise substantial amounts of funds to finance its Receivable and Lease portfolios. The Company has access to most global markets at a reasonable cost and expects to have sufficient sources of global funding and liquidity to meet its funding needs. The Company’s ability to meet its debt obligations is supported in a number of ways. The assets of the Company are self-liquidating in nature. A solid equity position is available to absorb unusual losses on these assets and all commercial paper is backed by unsecured, committed borrowing lines from various banks. Liquidity is also provided by the Company’s ability to securitize these assets and through the issuance of term debt. Additionally, liquidity may be provided through loans from John Deere. The Company’s commercial paper outstanding at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018 was ~~$3,413.4~~$1,026.1 million, $1,987.3 million, and ~~$1,872.2~~$2,123.6 million, respectively, while the total cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities position was ~~$529.7~~$656.0 million, ~~$608.4~~$608.4 million, and ~~$1,060.9~~$1,072.4 million, respectively. The amount of cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities held by foreign subsidiaries was approximately ~~$112.1~~$157.1 million, $108.3 million, and ~~$103.4~~$118.2 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, October 28, 2018, and ~~April~~July 29, 2018, respectively.

Capital Corporation has a revolving credit agreement to utilize bank conduit facilities to securitize retail notes (see Note 5). At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, this facility had a total capacity, or “financing limit,” of $3,500.0 million of secured financings at any time. After a ~~two‑year~~two-year revolving period, unless the banks and Capital Corporation agree to renew, Capital Corporation would liquidate the secured borrowings over time as payments on the retail notes are collected. At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, ~~$1,953.1~~$1,681.0 million of short-term securitization borrowings ~~were~~was outstanding under the agreement.

During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019, the Company issued ~~$3,051.0~~$5,150.2 million and retired ~~$3,002.8~~$3,332.4 million of ~~long‑term~~long-term borrowings, which were primarily medium-term notes. During the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019, the Company also issued ~~$2,258.9~~$3,309.9 million and retired ~~$1,496.1~~$2,194.5 million of retail note securitization borrowings and maintained an average commercial paper balance of ~~$2,663.6~~$2,883.9 million. At ~~April~~July 28, 2019, the Company’s funding profile included ~~$3,484.1~~$1,162.5 million of commercial paper and other notes payable, ~~$4,643.9~~$4,994.8 million of securitization borrowings, ~~$1,062.0~~$2,294.8 million of loans from John Deere, ~~$24,335.6~~$26,304.9 million of unsecured term debt, and ~~$4,024.6~~$4,110.1 million of equity capital. The Company’s funding profile may be altered to reflect such factors as relative costs of funding sources, assets available for securitizations, and capital market accessibility.

Total interest-bearing indebtedness amounted to ~~$33,525.6~~$34,757.0 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, compared with $31,391.2 million at October 28, 2018 and ~~$30,841.3~~$31,902.0 million at ~~April~~July 29, 2018. Total ~~short‑term~~short-term indebtedness amounted to ~~$13,819.7~~$14,721.6 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, compared with $11,959.0 million at October 28, 2018 and ~~$13,244.4~~$13,310.5 million at ~~April~~July 29, 2018. Total long-term indebtedness amounted to ~~$19,705.9~~$20,035.4 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, compared with $19,432.2 million at October 28, 2018 and ~~$17,596.9~~$18,591.5 million at ~~April~~July 29, 2018. The ratio of total interest-bearing debt, including securitization indebtedness, to stockholder’s equity was ~~8.3~~8.5 to 1 at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, compared with 7.7 to 1 at October 28, 2018 and ~~8.0~~8.1 to 1 at ~~April~~July 29, 2018.

Stockholder’s equity was ~~$4,024.6~~$4,110.1 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, compared with $4,070.0 million at October 28, 2018 and ~~$3,834.8~~$3,935.1 million at ~~April~~July 29, 2018. The ~~decrease~~increase in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019 was primarily due to ~~dividends paid of $230.0 million, partially offset by~~ net income attributable to the Company of ~~$206.0~~$350.8 million, partially offset by dividends paid of $280.0 million and an unrealized loss on derivatives of $21.3 million.

Lines of Credit

The Company has access to bank lines of credit with various banks throughout the world. Some of the lines are available to both the Company and Deere & Company. Worldwide lines of credit totaled ~~$7,870.7~~$7,936.4 million at ~~April~~July 28, 2019, ~~$2,924.8~~$5,332.4 million of which were unused. For the purpose of computing unused credit lines, commercial paper and short-term bank borrowings, excluding secured borrowings and the current portion of long-term borrowings, of the Company and Deere & Company were primarily considered to constitute utilization. Included in the total credit lines at ~~April~~July 28, 2019 ~~were~~was a 364-day credit facility ~~agreements~~agreement of $2,800.0 million expiring in fiscal April 2020. In addition, total credit lines included long-term credit facility agreements of $2,500.0 million expiring in April 2023 and $2,500.0 million expiring in April 2024. These credit agreements require the Company to maintain its consolidated ratio of earnings to fixed charges at not less than 1.05 to 1 for each fiscal quarter and its ratio of senior debt, excluding securitization indebtedness, to capital base (total subordinated debt and stockholder’s equity excluding accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)) at not more than 11 to 1 at the end of any fiscal quarter. All of these requirements of the credit agreements have been met during the periods included in the consolidated financial statements.

Debt Ratings

The Company's ability to obtain funding is affected by its debt ratings, which are closely related to the outlook for and thefinancial condition of John Deere, and the nature and availability of support facilities, such as its lines of credit and the support agreement from Deere & Company.

To access public debt capital markets, the Company relies on credit rating agencies to assign short-term and long-term credit ratings to the Company’s securities as an indicator of credit quality for fixed income investors. A credit rating agency may change or withdraw Company ratings based on its assessment of the Company’s current and future ability to meet interest and principal repayment ~~obligations~~.obligations. Each agency’s rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating. Lower credit ratings generally result in higher borrowing costs, including costs of derivative transactions, and reduced access to debt capital markets.

The senior long-term and short-term debt ratings and outlook currently assigned to unsecured Company debt securities by the rating agencies engaged by the Company are the same as those for John Deere. Those ratings are as follows:


	Senior Long-Term	Short-Term
	~~Senior Long-Term~~	~~Short-Term~~	Outlook
Fitch Ratings	A	F1	Stable
Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.	A2	Prime-1	Stable
Standard & Poor’s	A	A-1	Stable

Dividends

Capital Corporation declared and paid cash dividends to John Deere Financial Services, Inc. (JDFS) of ~~$230.0~~$280.0 million and $365.0 million in the first ~~six~~nine months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. In each case, JDFS paid comparable dividends to Deere & Company.

On ~~May 30,~~August 28, 2019, Capital Corporation declared a $50.0 million dividend to be paid to JDFS on ~~June 13,~~September 16, 2019. JDFS, in turn, declared a $50.0 million dividend to Deere & Company, also payable on ~~June 13,~~September 16, 2019.
