Item 5. | Other Events. | |||
|
| |||
| JDCC's net income was $70.9 million for the fourth quarter and $280.5 million for the year, compared with $57.2 million and $230.6 million, respectively, last year. The increase in quarterly net income was primarily due to growth in the portfolio. The full year increase was primarily due to lower loan losses, growth in the portfolio and the absence of losses from Argentina, partially offset by narrower financing spreads, lower gains from a lower volume of retail note sales and higher selling, administrative and general expenses. | |||
|
| |||
| Net receivables and leases financed by JDCC were $11.856 billion at October 31, 2003, compared with $11.240 billion one year ago. The increase resulted from acquisitions exceeding collections during the last twelve months partially offset by sales of retail notes. Net receivables and leases administered, which include receivables previously sold, totaled $14.451 billion at October 31, 2003 compared with $13.773 billion one year ago. | |||
