Deere tops estimates
The farm machinery maker saw quarterly sales rise 20% from a year earlier to $8.6 billion.
Deere & Co. (DE) outperformed in its fourth quarter, riding a wave of strong demand for farm machinery and increased sales of construction equipment.
The equipment maker delivered earnings of $1.62 per share in the quarter ended Oct. 31, comfortably exceeding the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.44. Results were 51% ahead of the $1.07 earned in the year-ago quarter.
Operational update
Deere's total sales increased 20% year over year to $8.6 billion, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $8 billion. Net sales of equipment operations (for agriculture and turf, construction and forestry) were $7.9 billion, a 20% year-over-year increase that included a favorable currency translation effect of 2% and a price increase of 3%. On a geographic basis, equipment net sales were up 14% in the United States and Canada and 31% in rest of the world.
Cost of sales in the quarter totaled $5.9 billion, up 21% year over year. Operating profit improved 35% year over year to $1.15 billion in the quarter.
Segment performance
The agriculture and turf segment's sales increased 18% to $6.3 billion, led by higher shipment volumes, improved price realization and favorable currency translation. Operating profit at the segment was $868 million, up 31% year over year. The increase in operating profit resulted from higher shipment, improved price realization partially offset by higher raw material costs, higher manufacturing overhead costs related to new products, and higher research and development expenses.
Construction and forestry posted a year-over-year sales growth of 34% to $1.5 billion, ascribed to higher shipment volumes. The segment operating profit increased 61% year over year to $87 million driven by higher shipment, production volumes and improved price realization, partially offset by higher raw material costs and research and development expenses.
Net revenue at Deere's financial services operations was $615 million in the quarter, up 14% from the year-ago quarter. Net income in the segment was $196 million, up 41% from the year-ago quarter. The improvement was largely driven by portfolio growth and a lower provision for credit losses, partially offset by narrower financing spreads and a higher effective tax rate.
Financial position
At the end of its fiscal 2011, Deere had cash and cash equivalents of $3.65 billion, down from $3.79 billion a year earlier. Long-term borrowings increased slightly to $16.96 billion from $16.81 billion a year earlier.
Net cash from operating activities for the year was $2.32 billion compared with $2.28 billion in the previous year.
Fiscal 2011 performance
For fiscal 2011, Deere reported earnings of $6.63 per share, ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $6.44 and 52% above the year ago earnings per share of $4.35. Net income for the year was $2.8 billion, outperforming the company's expectation of $2.7 billion.
Deere's worldwide total sales increased 23% year over year to $32 billion, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $30 billion. Net sales of equipment operations were $29.5 billion, a 25% year-over-year increase including a favorable currency translation effect of 3% and a price increase of 3%.
Looking Forward
Deere expects equipment sales to grow in the range of 16% to 18% in the first quarter and about 15% for fiscal 2012. The guidance includes a favorable currency-translation impact of 3% for the quarter and 1% for the fiscal year. Net income is estimated at $3.2 billion in 2011.
Segment wise, Deere expects worldwide sales of agriculture and turf equipment to grow by 15% for full-year 2012, benefiting from favorable global farm conditions, and benefits from introduction of advanced new products throughout the globe and from major expansion projects particularly in emerging markets.
Construction and forestry equipment are expected to improve 16% for 2012, reflecting slightly improved market conditions and activity outside of the U.S. and strength in Canada. Construction equipment sales to independent rental companies are expected to improve further. Sales growth is also expected to be aided by advanced new products and geographic expansion.
Region-wise, Deere expects industry farm-machinery sales in the U.S. and Canada to grow 5% to 10% for 2012. Western and Central Europe is expected to be flat considering the general economic concerns in the region. Sales in the Commonwealth of Independent States are expected to see moderate gains while growth in Asia is expected to be strong.
Industry sales of turf and utility equipment in the U.S. and Canada are expected to increase slightly. However, In South America, the company expects industry sales to remain flat compared with 2011.
Our take
Deere continues to remain focused on expanding its production capacities. The company's investments to expand capacity as well as to offer new products favorably position it to cater to the increasing demand for food, shelter and infrastructure, thereby fueling top-line growth in the upcoming quarters. Deere also pays a regular quarterly dividend and increases the dividend from time to time, which enhances shareholders value.
The company currently retains a Zacks No. 3 Rank (short-term hold recommendation).
Deere makes and sells agricultural and forestry equipment, construction equipment and engines. The company sells products in the U.S. and Canada through branch offices as well as through distributors and dealers for the resale of products internationally. Deere competes with Caterpillar (CAT), CNH Global NV (CNH) and Kubota Corp. (KUB).

In the 2003 season, many top-flight teams struggled to keep their transmissions in their cars. Project NORAD has a unique solution to the transmission problem-a Lenco five-speed planetary unit that's almost bulletproof. We discussed the transmission, slipper clutch and V drive in the installment on page 118. Here, we research the rest of the driveline.
In keeping with Bob Norwood's "break it if you can" philosophy of racecar construction, the 2004 NORAD Celica features some time-honored ways of harnessing the horsepower that the over-achieving Toyota 3RZ will generate.
"The key consideration for us was the strength of the driveline," Norwood explains. "If I had a dollar for every driveline failure we had in the past couple of years, I'd be kicking back on a Caribbean island with one of those fancy umbrella drinks in one hand and the other wrapped around a bikini-clad goddess. Unfortunately, here I am trying to engineer a 'Rado-proof' driveline that'll get the car down the track every time."
Norwood decided on a solid rear end to transmit the power to the front wheels. He wanted to eliminate the weaknesses and utilize a true four-link suspension, so the Ford 9-inch rear end was a natural choice. Then he had to make it work within the application, taking into consideration suspension travel, steering, CVs and driveshafts, among other things.
The NORAD team consulted with the drivetrain experts at Mark Williams Enterprises, which has a long history in drag racing and a complete line of top-quality components. Norwood chose a number of the Mark Williams components that meet the strength requirements he was looking for, but some were modified by the NORAD team to meet their exact specifications.
First the team needed to get the drive from the Vee-Drive forward to the rear end (front end?) assembly. Mark Williams had the answer in the form of a solid 4340 heat-treated steel driveshaft. The driveshaft is more than capable of dealing with the horsepower that will be generated by the 2.7-liter Toyota 3RZ engine and it's attached by 'Quick release'-tempered 4140 steel couplers at each end.
The shaft is located within the couplers by custom machined aluminum lock rings. Changing the shaft is simply a matter of loosening the lock ring screws and sliding the shaft out. It's fast, simple and effective.
The (Front) Rear EndNorwood's design called for a solid front axle assembly. This new approach to a front-wheel-drive racecar called for some innovative thinking by the NORAD team. A Mark Williams 9-inch Ford casing (with massive external bracing to minimize flex) was mounted upside-down over the top of the transmission spacer that separates the clutch and bell housing from the Lenco transmission.
The spacer assembly allows for enough clearance for suspension travel, while the car still meets the minimum ground clearance rules. Even with the spacer in place, modifications had to be made to the casing to allow everything to clear. "I had to chop about an inch from the bottom of the center housing," Norwood says. "Once that was done, I machined the ring gear to allow it to pass through the smaller hole, and the pinion support was machined to allow it to mate perfectly with the modified casing." The casing was further modified with the addition of an oil filler/inspection port and a bracket for the transverse locating rod.
The pinion support is a Mark Williams ball-bearing Pro Stock-spec part designed to be extremely strong and light. The casing is cast aluminum. The pinion support is bolted into a Mark Williams aluminum Pro Stock third member. This component features huge aluminum bearing caps and a 40-spline spool forged from 7075 aluminum and then hard-anodized. The spool assembly weighs a scant 5.2 pounds.

This jacket has quickly become my favorite. It has an awesome DWR finish on the outside with plenty of warmth on the inside, without being bulky. The cuffs on the sleeves are the best I have ever seen. I am 6'3 around 165 pounds--got a large-- and I like that the jacket is slim but still has long enough sleeves for my pretty lanky figure. It is a bit pricier than other jackets, but I'd say it is totally worth it, and I got it for a great deal. I have it in the green and thalo blue. The green looks a lot better in person, if you are contemplating it, and the thalo blue is just plain awesome. Lastly, this jacket is longer in the back, which I really like. Definitely pick this up if you are looking at it.
I have used this jacket for climbing and mountaineering/ice climbing.For the first activity, I found it a little bit fragile against the rock and no so much abrasion resistant, but the good news are that accomplished perfectly its objective of keeping me warm and comfortable during low temps days, just a Silkweight T underneath.For mountaineering I found it excellent!!!, I have used it as a midlayer as well as outerlayer with NO wind outside. If there is wind…you must use a shell. The side panels are great to let the moisture go out, but are the same as permeable to let the wind go in…One thing that is very important to mention is that in case you overheat, and get wet, you will get dry so quickly that is an advantage when the cold outside is strong and the bar is days away!!!!Bottom line it is a very versatile jacket, but you have to pay attention where you will use it.Fit is slim, but roomier and longer than the Atom LT (no hooded).I am 6.4, 220 pounds, XL
I got this off of a recommendation from a Moosejaw Employee and I absolutely love it! Wore it all winter, and it works wonders. I use it as a mid-layer in the coldest snowy months under my down jacket, and as an outer layer in the spring/fall. I have never had a single problem with it. If you're in the market for an all around jacket that's windproof, incredibly warm, and comfortable beyond belief, chose this one!
One of my few Arcteryx pieces in my collection. This one is by far the most used piece I own. It's a great fit for me (small), I'm a standard frame size, more so on the smaller side at 145lbs, 5'9" I used this on colder ski days to layer up but I also use this for fall and winter months in here in New York. It's so versatile, I love it. When I travel up north, I just compress the jacket into one of it's sleeves as mentioned on Arcteryx website. It doubles as a travel pillow here. The only issue as mentioned in other reviews is the main zipper when fully zipped does undo itself when messing around with the hood, bringing it over your head and such. Other than that, great jacket. My wife ones one now.
Me being a cheap college student, I was pretty apprehensive about buying a jacket at this price, but I have a rain jacket from Arcteryx and I couldn't complain about it even if I tried. So I knew the quality of the brand. So I splurged a little bit on this item. When I received it I couldn't have been happier. It will probably prove to be the best outerwear item I've ever bought. It says in the item description that it is lightweight, but that is an understatement. When I picked the package up I thought they forgot to put the jacket in the box. It blew my mind. I was comparing this to the Patagonia Nano Puff (which I'm sure is great), but I knew from a little experience that this jacket is warmer. Also, with moosejaw's sale prices it is similar price, so in my humble opinion you get more bang for your buck. In an climate where it doesn't get incredibly cold I believe this is the best jacket you could buy.
extremely warm for it's weight and size. comfortable, and cut to function well when using harness. size it slightly bigger than other Arcteryx pieces for a better fit, unless you want it snug and short ending at the waist.
I bring this jacket with me on almost all of my trips. It is light enough that it adds hardly any weight to my pack. The side panels allow for lots of air flow so I don't overheat while hiking. By throwing a hard shell over top of it, I've been able to use it at temperatures below freezing.
I bought this jacket as a synthetic insulation layer for alpine climbing and multipitch trad climbing. I was pleasantly surprised by how warm, and comfortable the jacket was. Technical cut, the material is abrasion-resistant allowing you to climb without the jacket getting scuffed up, the hood is large enough to accommodate a helmet, the hand-pockets are toasty-warm, and there is a small internal pocket large enough to hold a cellphone or other small items. I love this jacket. :D
I got this jacket for hiking and general use in moderate-cold temperatures. For that purpose, it is perfect! I generally run kind of warm, but the insulation on this jacket seems just right for my needs (~30-40 degrees).The jacket is extremely lightweight, and packs up extremely well for those trips with lots of temperature fluctuation. It fits me really well, with a nice, slim fit. I am 5'10" and about 155 pounds and got a small, which works perfectly. Sleeves are just the right length, and never move from my wrists!The only thing I haven't had much chance to test is the DWR, but from the light showers I have had the jacket in, I have never gotten wet.
I don't skimp on quality jackets and don't mind spending some extra dough to ensure I've got some effective protection. I have been wearing it since Christmas, as a mid layer for warmth, and casually as a outer jacket. The fit and function is outstanding. I was hesitant to get the LT because I didn't think it would have enough insulation. To the touch, it doesn't have much bulk, although it does a surprisingly good job of trapping warmth. The hood design is money, as ARC seems to have that design figured out very well. Pockets are good, zippers are solid, and feels very comfortable on the skin. Match this ATOM LT with a smartwool quarter-zip, and I'm set for a good majority of outdoor active ventures. My only dig on this (and its not extremely valid seeing as this is a mid layer design) when worn as an outer coat, the area in the armpit running down to the bottom of the coat is elastic. No doubt, it is there for movement purposes, but wind will cut right through. Durable,GREAT BUY!

David Horowitz was one of the founders of the New Left in the 1960s and an editor of its largest magazine, Ramparts. He is the author, with Peter Collier, of three best selling dynastic biographies: The Rockefellers: An American Dynasty (1976); The Kennedys: An American Dream (1984); and The Fords: An American Epic (1987). Looking back in anger at their days in the New Left, he and Collier wrote Destructive Generation (1989), a chronicle of their second thoughts about the 60s that has been compared to Whittaker Chambers' Witness and other classic works documenting a break from totalitarianism. Horowitz examined this subject more closely in Radical Son (1996), a memoir tracing his odyssey from "red-diaper baby" to conservative activist that George Gilder described as "the first great autobiography of his generation." His latest book is Take No Prisoners: The Battle Plan for Defeating the Left (Regnery Publishing).

Car-theft bill passes Legislature | State Legislature
Legislation to curb a recent rise in car-thefts and target repeat offenders was passed unanimously by the Senate and is on the way to the governor to be signed into law.
The bipartisan legislation, House Bill 2354, will give law enforcement more time to investigate auto theft by extending the statute of limitations from three years to six years for trafficking in stolen vehicles and auto parts.
"This is an important change for law enforcement," said Rep. Tina Orwall, D-Des Moines, who sponsored the House version of the bill. She noted that detectives can spend years working hard to investigate these crimes, so they need additional time to arrest and prosecute these complex auto-theft rings.
