JOHN DEERE UPDATES ITS 2012 OUTLOOK
Source: John Deere news release

Company equipment sales are projected to increase by about 15 percent for fiscal 2012 and by about 25 percent for the third quarter compared with the same periods a year ago.

Included is an unfavorable currency-translation impact of about 3 percent for the year and 4 percent for the third quarter.

For the full year, net income attributable to Deere & Company is anticipated to be about $3.350 billion.

According to CEO Samuel Allen, promising fundamentals are lending strong support to the company's plans for increased sales and profitability.

"Our extensive investments in new products and additional global capacity are moving ahead at an accelerated rate," he said, pointing out there are more than a dozen major projects under way throughout the world, including seven new factories.

"These investments are essential to the success of our longer-term growth objectives, which we believe are firmly on track. They also put Deere in a sound position to respond to a rising global need for food, shelter, and infrastructure in the years ahead.

"In our view, these powerful trends have considerable staying power and should prove highly rewarding to our customers and investors."
