Material uncertainty over going concern
During 2025, the parent company, John Deere, has decided to cease operations with a view to liquidate the company by 31 December 2025. In light of this the directors do not consider the going concern basis to be appropriate and these financial statements have therefore been prepared on a basis other than going concern.

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
