Production and precision agriculture sales decreased 16% for the quarter to $4.27 billion as a result of lower shipment volumes and unfavorable price realization. Operating profit slumped 50% to $580 million primarily due to lower shipment volumes / sales agriculture and turf sales decreased 1% to $3.03 billion due to lower shipment volumes, partially offset by favorable currency translation and price realization. Operating profit decreased 2% to $485 million due to higher tariffs, partially offset by reductions in warranty expenses and lower production costs. The decreased production costs were primarily the result of lower material costs. Construction and forestry sales decreased 5% to $3.06 billion due to unfavorable price realization. Operating profit decreased 47% to $237 million primarily due to unfavorable price realization and higher production costs caused by higher tariffs, partially offset by a favorable product mix.

'By continuing to address the high levels of used equipment in the industry, we're building a healthier market for everyone, our customers, our dealers, and our business, even in these challenging times,' May added.

'We remain committed to delivering solutions that address our customers' current needs while also laying the groundwork for future growth. For example, the increasing utilization and proven in-field effectiveness of advanced technologies, such as See & Spray and Harvest Settings Automation, are empowering customers to improve their productivity and better navigate industry challenges,' May noted. 'The positive outcomes we're enabling reinforce our confidence in Deere's future despite near-term uncertainty.'

Popular Fast Food Chain to Close Dozens of Locations: What to Know
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Noodles & Company is set to close up to 32 of its restaurants across the United States by the end of 2025, the restaurant chain announced on Wednesday. The Colorado-based chain said in its 2025 second-quarter financial results that it will shutter between 28 and 32 company-owned restaurants this year and will open two sites. It comes as the company reported nationwide comparable restaurant sales growth, but a net loss and tighter liquidity. Newsweek reached out to Noodles & Company for comment via email outside of regular working hours. Why It Matters The expected 2025 closures represent around a 7 percent reduction in the company's footprint. The chain, which has been running since 1995, has around 400 restaurants across the U.S., according to the company. Several other American restaurant chains, including Denny's, Applebee's, TGI Fridays and Red Lobster, have also closed dozens of branches or filed for bankruptcy within the last year. Stock image of pasta. Stock image of pasta. GDA/AP What To Know Noodles & Company reported on Wednesday that comparable restaurant sales increased 1.5 percent overall in the second quarter, including a 1.5 percent increase at company-owned restaurants and a 1.6 percent increase at franchised sites. But total revenue decreased in the second quarter by 0.7 percent to $127.4 million. Net losses also stood at $17.6 million, compared to a loss of $13.6 million in the second quarter of 2024. As of July 1, the company had $2.3 million in cash and cash equivalents and outstanding debt of $108.3 million. In the second quarter, the company closed six company-owned restaurants and two franchise restaurants, but opened one new company-owned site. The restaurant closures come amid an attempted turnaround at the company, which included an overhaul of its menu in March. What People Are Saying Drew Madsen, Noodles & Company chief executive officer, said in a statement: "We are encouraged to have delivered positive comparable restaurant sales of 1.5 percent in the second quarter despite a challenging consumer environment that has led to heightened discounting and promotional activity across the industry. Our sales and traffic moderated after the initial successful rollout of our new menu due to the strong value-conscious climate as well as slower guest adoption of the upgrades made to some of our historic menu items. "We have been moving decisively to address these factors, particularly around guest value perception. Our new Delicious Duos value-focused platform, that launched at the beginning of August, is off to a great start. Comparable restaurant sales have increased to an average of positive five percent over the past two weeks, demonstrating that our value-focused initiatives are resonating with guests." Mike Hynes, Noodles & Company chief financial officer, said in a conference call on Wednesday, according to Restaurant Business Magazine: "We're very pleased with the results from closing under-performing restaurants. The closures have removed restaurants with negative cash flow from our system, and post closure, we've seen nearby Noodles restaurants experience an increase in sales and profits." What Happens Next Madsen is stepping down as the company's CEO this month and will be succeeded by Joe Christina, who will oversee the ongoing restaurant closures and openings this year.
