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. Periods don't have to be exactly 12 months apart — a long or short period (typical around incorporation or year-end changes) will distort the comparison. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers
