NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The condensed consolidated financial statements of AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “AGCO”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2018-13”). The standard revises the disclosure requirements by removing disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial, modifying specific requirements of disclosures and adding certain disclosures identified as relevant. ASU 2018-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Certain amendments of the standard should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments of the standard should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The standard will not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2018-02”), which allows for the election to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. These disproportionate income tax effect items are referred to as “stranded tax effects.” The amendments within ASU 2018-02 only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act. Certain disclosures are required in the period of adoption as to whether an entity has elected to reclassify the stranded tax effects. The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”), which eliminates Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the standard, an entity should perform its goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount, resulting in an impairment charge that is the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. The impairment charge, however, should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to a reporting unit. The impairment assessment under ASU 2017-04 applies to all reporting units, including those with a zero or negative carrying amount. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods using a prospective approach. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual goodwill impairment test performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company expects to adopt ASU 2017-04 effective January 1, 2020 and will apply the standard to all impairment tests performed thereafter.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods as the adoption of the standard relates to the Company. However, the standard does not have to be adopted by the Company's finance joint ventures until annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those annual periods. This standard will likely impact the results of operations and financial condition of the Company’s finance joint ventures and as a result, will likely impact the Company’s “Investment in affiliates” and “Equity in net earnings of affiliates”

upon adoption. The Company’s finance joint ventures are currently evaluating the standard’s impact to their results of operations and financial condition.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which superseded the existing lease guidance under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is based on the principle that entities should recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases. The new standard does not significantly change the lessees’ recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard and leases continue to be classified as finance or operating. ASU 2016-02’s primary change is the requirement for entities to recognize a lease liability for payments and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing the right to use the leased asset during the term of an operating lease arrangement. Lessees were permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lessors’ accounting under the new standard was largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, ASU 2016-02 expanded the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. Upon adoption, lessees and lessors were required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements,” which allowed for a new, optional transition method that provided the option to use the effective date as the date of initial application on transition. Under this option, the comparative periods would continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including the disclosure requirements, and a cumulative effect adjustment would be recognized in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented.  Under this transition option, comparative reporting would not be required and the provisions of the standard would be applied prospectively to leases in effect at the date of adoption.

The Company adopted the new guidance effective January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach and no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded upon adoption. Based on the Company’s current lease portfolio, the adoption of the standard as of January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition on that date of ROU assets and operating lease liabilities in the amount of approximately $194.2 million and $196.4 million, respectively, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The adoption of the new standard did not materially impact the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations or Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

ASU 2016-02 provided a number of optional practical expedients in transition. The Company elected the “package of practical expedients” which permitted the Company not to reassess its prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification and initial direct costs.  The Company has elected the short-term lease exemption for all leases with a term of 12 months or less for both existing and ongoing operating leases. The Company elected the practical expedient to separate lease and non-lease components for a majority of its operating leases, other than real estate and office equipment leases. 

In connection with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, the Company completed the design of new processes and internal controls, which included the implementation of a software solution and the cataloging of the Company’s existing and ongoing population of leased assets.

2.    RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

Beginning in 2014 through 2019, the Company announced and initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities and various administrative offices located in Europe, South America, China and the United States in order to reduce costs in response to softening global market demand and lower production volumes. The aggregate headcount reduction was approximately 3,890 employees between 2014 and 2018. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded severance and related costs associated with further rationalizations in Europe, China, South America and the United States, in connection with the termination of approximately 30 employees. Restructuring expenses activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 is summarized as follows (in millions):

	Write-down of Property, Plant and Equipment			Employee Severance			Total
Balance as of December 31, 2018	$	—		$	7.1		$	7.1
First quarter 2019 provision	0.3			1.4			1.7

	2019		2018
Cost of goods sold	$	0.5	$	0.8
Selling, general and administrative expenses	12.0		8.4
Total stock compensation expense	$	12.5	$	9.2

Stock Incentive Plan    

Under the Company’s Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), up to 10,000,000 shares of AGCO common stock may be issued. As of March 31, 2019, of the 10,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the Plan, approximately 3,127,344 shares were available for grant, assuming the maximum number of shares are earned related to the performance award grants discussed below. The Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee, to make grants of performance shares, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock units and restricted stock awards to employees, officers and non-employee directors of the Company.

Long-Term Incentive Plan and Related Performance Awards

The weighted average grant-date fair value of performance awards granted under the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $61.01 and $71.40, respectively.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued

(unaudited)

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted 542,180 performance awards related to varying performance periods. The awards granted assume the maximum target levels of performance are achieved. The compensation expense associated with all awards granted under the Plan is amortized ratably over the vesting or performance period based on the Company’s projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved. Performance award transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were as follows and are presented as if the Company were to achieve its maximum levels of performance under the plan awards:

Shares awarded but not earned at January 1	938,862
Shares awarded	542,180
Shares forfeited	(3,620	)
Shares earned	(11,200	)
Shares awarded but not earned at March 31	1,466,222

As of March 31, 2019, the total compensation cost related to unearned performance awards not yet recognized, assuming the Company’s current projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved, was approximately $53.2 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years. The compensation cost not yet recognized could be higher or lower based on actual achieved levels of performance.

Restricted Stock Unit Awards    

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company granted 165,160 restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards. These awards entitle the participant to receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each RSU granted and vest one-third per year over a three-year requisite service period. The compensation expense associated with these awards is being amortized ratably over the requisite service period for the awards that are expected to vest. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the RSUs granted under the Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 was $61.01 and $71.40, respectively. RSU transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were as follows:

RSUs awarded but not vested at January 1	352,975
RSUs awarded	165,160
RSUs forfeited	(1,192	)
RSUs vested	(111,419	)
RSUs awarded but not vested at March 31	405,524

As of March 31, 2019, the total compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs not yet recognized was approximately $20.9 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.

Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights

Compensation expense associated with the stock-settled appreciation rights (“SSAR”) awards is amortized ratably over the requisite service period for the awards that are expected to vest. The Company estimated the fair value of the grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. SSAR transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were as follows:

SSARs outstanding at January 1	1,099,592
SSARs granted	243,600
SSARs exercised	(56,738	)
SSARs canceled or forfeited	(1,862	)
SSARs outstanding at March 31	1,284,592

As of March 31, 2019, the total compensation cost related to the unvested SSARs not yet recognized was approximately $6.0 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately three years.

Credit Facility

In October 2018 the Company entered into an $800.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility. The credit facility matures on October 17, 2023. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the credit facility, at the Company’s option, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.875% based on the Company’s credit rating, or (2) the base rate, which is equal to the higher of (i) the administrative agent’s base lending rate for the applicable currency, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) one-month LIBOR for loans denominated in US dollars plus 1.0%, plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.875% based on the Company’s credit rating. As of March 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $207.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and the ability to borrow approximately $592.1 million under the facility. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $114.4 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and the ability to borrow approximately $685.6 million million under the facility.

Senior Term Loans Due Between 2019 and 2028

In October 2016, the Company borrowed an aggregate amount of €375.0 million through a group of seven related term loan agreements, and in August 2018, the Company borrowed an additional aggregate amount of indebtedness of ��338.0 million through a group of another seven related term loan agreements.

In aggregate, the Company has indebtedness of €713.0 million (or approximately $801.1 million as of March 31, 2019) through a group of fourteen related term loan agreements, as discussed above. The provisions of the term loan agreements are substantially identical, with the exception of interest rate terms and maturities. The Company is permitted to prepay the term loans before their maturity dates. For the term loans with a fixed interest rate, interest is payable in arrears on an annual basis, with interest rates ranging from 0.70% to 2.26% and a maturity date between October 2019 and August 2028. For the term loans with a floating interest rate, interest is payable in arrears on a semi-annual basis, with interest rates based on the EURIBOR plus a margin ranging from 0.70% to 1.25% and a maturity date between October 2019 and August 2025.

Short-Term Borrowings

As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had short-term borrowings due within one year of approximately $181.5 million and $138.0 million, respectively.

Standby Letters of Credit and Similar Instruments

The Company has arrangements with various banks to issue standby letters of credit or similar instruments, which guarantee the Company’s obligations for the purchase or sale of certain inventories and for potential claims exposure for insurance coverage. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, outstanding letters of credit totaled $13.9 million and $14.1 million, respectively.

6    RECOVERABLE INDIRECT TAXES

The Company’s Brazilian operations incur value added taxes (“VAT”) on certain purchases of raw materials, components and services. These taxes are accumulated as tax credits and create assets that are reduced by the VAT collected from the Company’s sales in the Brazilian market. The Company regularly assesses the recoverability of these tax credits, and establishes reserves when necessary against them, through analyses that include, amongst others, the history of realization, the transfer of tax credits to third parties as authorized by the government, anticipated changes in the supply chain and the future expectation of tax debits from the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company believes that these tax credits, net of established reserves, are realizable. The Company had recorded approximately $160.0 million and $156.0 million, respectively, of VAT tax credits, net of reserves, as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

7.    INVENTORIES

Inventories at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were as follows (in millions):

8.    PRODUCT WARRANTY

The warranty reserve activity for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 consisted of the following (in millions):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Balance at beginning of period	$	360.9		$	316.0
Accruals for warranties issued during the period	51.1			58.5
Settlements made (in cash or in kind) during the period	(47.4		)	(55.9		)
Foreign currency translation	(3.3		)	7.2
Balance at March 31	$	361.3		$	325.8

The Company’s agricultural equipment products generally are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period of one to four years. The Company accrues for future warranty costs at the time of sale based on historical warranty experience. Approximately $306.5 million and $308.6 million of warranty reserves are included in “Accrued expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Approximately $54.8 million and $52.3 million of warranty reserves are included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The Company recognizes recoveries from its suppliers of the costs associated with warranties it provides when the collection is probable. When specifics of the recovery have been agreed upon with the Company’s suppliers through confirmation of liability for the recovery, the Company records the recovery within “Accounts and notes receivable, net.” Estimates of the amount of warranty claim recoveries to be received from the Company's suppliers based upon contractual supplier arrangements are recorded within “Other current assets.”

9.    NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share assumes the exercise of outstanding SSARs and the vesting of performance share awards and RSUs using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. A reconciliation of net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019		2018
Basic net income per share:
Net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	65.1	$	24.3
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	76.6		79.6
Basic net income per share attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	0.85	$	0.31
Diluted net income per share:
Net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	65.1	$	24.3
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	76.6		79.6
Dilutive SSARs, performance share awards and RSUs	0.9		0.9
Weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for purposes of computing diluted net income per share	77.5		80.5
Diluted net income per share attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	0.84	$	0.30

SSARs to purchase approximately 0.7 million and 0.4 million shares of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the calculation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding because they had an antidilutive impact.

10.    INCOME TAXES

At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $165.3 million and $166.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had approximately $56.3 million and $58.5 million, respectively, of accrued or deferred taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions that it expects to settle or pay in the next 12 months. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. At March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $28.3 million and $27.2 million, respectively. Generally, tax years 2013 through 2018 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and certain other foreign tax jurisdictions.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance to fully reserve against its net deferred tax assets in the United States and certain foreign jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assessed the likelihood that its deferred tax assets would be recovered from estimated future taxable income and available tax planning strategies and determined that all adjustments to the valuation allowances were appropriate. In making this assessment, all available evidence was considered including the current economic climate, as well as reasonable tax planning strategies. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its remaining net deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, in future years.

11.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

The Company has significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil, and it purchases a portion of its tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. The Company also sells products in approximately 140 countries throughout the world. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar, and the British pound in relation to the Euro. The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the anticipated settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, the Company hedges certain, but not all, of its exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts. The Company’s translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars may be partially hedged from time to time. The Company’s most significant translation exposures are the Euro, the British pound and the Brazilian real in relation to the United States dollar. When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.

The Company uses floating rate and fixed rate debt to finance its operations. The floating rate debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in the EURIBOR and LIBOR benchmark interest rates. The Company believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments, and to meet that objective, the Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings. The Company will designate interest rate contracts used to convert the interest rate exposure on a portion of the Company’s debt portfolio from a floating rate to a fixed rate as cash flow hedges, while those contracts converting the Company’s interest rate exposure from a fixed rate to a floating rate are designated as fair value hedges.

To protect the value of the Company’s investment in foreign operations against adverse changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the Company from time to time, may hedge a portion of the Company’s net investment in the foreign subsidiaries by using a cross currency swap. The component of the gains and losses on the Company’s net investment in the designated foreign operations driven by changes in foreign exchange rates are economically offset by movements in the fair value of the cross currency swap contracts.

The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies. These policies are reviewed periodically by the Finance Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The policies allow for the use of derivative instruments to hedge exposures to movements in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company’s policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (2) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument.

The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items or the net investment hedges in foreign operations. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis.

The Company categorizes its derivative assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions used in valuing the asset or liability. See Note 15 for a discussion of the fair value hierarchy as per the guidance in ASC 820. The Company’s valuation techniques are designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Counterparty Risk

The Company regularly monitors the counterparty risk and credit ratings of all the counterparties to the derivative instruments. The Company believes that its exposures are appropriately diversified across counterparties and that these counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions. If the Company perceives any risk with a counterparty, then the Company will cease to do business with that counterparty. There have been no negative impacts to the Company from any non-performance of any counterparties.

Derivative Transactions Designated as Hedging Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair values of these cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into “Cost of goods sold” during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions.

During 2019 and 2018, the Company designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The total notional value of derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges was $205.8 million and $127.0 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Accumulated derivative net losses as of March 31, 2019	$	(2.9	)	$	(0.2	)	$	(2.7	)

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses non-derivative and derivative instruments, to hedge a portion of its net investment in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. For instruments that are designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, to offset changes in the value of the net investments being hedged. When the net investment in foreign operations is sold or substantially liquidates, the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified to earnings. To the extent foreign currency denominated debt is de-designated from a net investment hedge relationship, changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated debt are recorded in earnings through the maturity date.

In January 2018, the Company entered into a cross currency swap contract as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. The cross currency swap has an expiration date of January 19, 2021. At maturity of the cross currency swap contract, the Company will deliver the notional amount of approximately €245.7 million (or approximately $276.1 million as of March 31, 2019) and will receive $300.0 million from the counterparties. The Company will receive quarterly interest payments from the counterparties based on a fixed interest rate until maturity of the cross currency swap.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company designated €160.0 million (or approximately $179.8 million as of March 31, 2019) of its multi-currency revolving credit facility with a maturity date of October 17, 2023 as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment.

Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

During 2019 and 2018, the Company entered into foreign currency contracts to economically hedge receivables and payables on the Company and its subsidiaries’ balance sheets that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These contracts were classified as non-designated derivative instruments. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged and are immediately recognized into earnings. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $2,358.0 million and $1,335.8 million, respectively.

The following table summarizes the impact that changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated as hedging instruments had on earnings (in millions):

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $30.0 million of shares of its common stock. The Company received approximately 379,927 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to the ASR agreement. The specific number of shares the Company ultimately repurchased was determined at the completion of the term of the ASR based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of the Company’s common stock less an agreed upon discount. Upon settlement of the ASR, the Company was entitled to receive additional shares of common stock or, under certain circumstances, was required to remit a settlement amount. In May 2019, the Company received an additional 59,394 shares of common stock upon final settlement of the ASR. All shares received under the ASR agreement discussed above were retired upon receipt, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” and “Retained earnings” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, 2019, the remaining amount authorized to be repurchased was approximately $117.1 million, of which $115.7 million expires in December 2019 and $1.4 million has no expiration date.

13.    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS

The Company has accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America, Europe and Brazil to its U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.4 billion.

Under the terms of the accounts receivable sales agreements in North America, Europe and Brazil, the Company pays an annual servicing fee related to the servicing of the receivables sold. The Company also pays the respective AGCO Finance entities a subsidized interest payment with respect to the accounts receivable sales agreements, calculated based upon LIBOR plus a margin on any non-interest bearing accounts receivable outstanding and sold under the accounts receivable sales agreements. These fees are reflected within losses on the sales of receivables included within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company does not service the receivables after the sales occur and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. The Company reviewed its accounting for the accounts receivable sales agreements and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable sales agreements discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $8.7 million and $7.8 million, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.

The Company’s finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing directly to the Company’s dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are without recourse to the Company. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, these finance joint ventures had approximately $88.1 million and $82.5 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. The Company reviewed its accounting for these arrangements and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

In addition, the Company sells certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Accumulated other comprehensive loss as of March 31, 2019	$	(376.3	)	$	(96.9	)	$	(279.4	)

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, approximately $9.4 million of contributions had been made to the Company’s defined pension benefit plans. The Company currently estimates its minimum contributions for 2019 to its defined pension benefit plans will aggregate approximately $30.4 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company made approximately $0.5 million of contributions to its postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans. The Company currently estimates that it will make approximately $1.5 million of contributions to its postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans during 2019.

15.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions used in valuing the asset or liability. Estimates of fair value for financial assets and liabilities are based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The Company categorizes its pension plan assets into one of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company enters into foreign currency, interest rate swap and cross currency swap contracts. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are determined using discounted cash flow valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from observable market transactions, and therefore have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these discounted cash flow valuation models for derivative instruments include the applicable exchange rates, forward rates or interest rates. Such models used for option contracts also use implied volatility. See Note 11 for a discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

16.    SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s four reportable segments distribute a full range of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on income from operations. Sales for each segment are based on the location of the third-party customer. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment based on the region and division where the expenses are incurred. As a result, the components of income from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 and assets as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 based on the Company’s reportable segments are as follows (in millions):

17.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees

The Company maintains a remarketing agreement with its U.S. finance joint venture, AGCO Finance LLC, whereby the Company is obligated to repurchase up to $6.0 million of repossessed equipment each calendar year. The Company believes that any losses that might be incurred on the resale of this equipment will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations, due to the fair value of the underlying equipment.

At March 31, 2019, the Company had outstanding guarantees of indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $44.3 million, primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. Such guarantees generally obligate the Company to repay outstanding finance obligations owed to financial institutions if dealers or end users default on such loans through 2024. Losses under such guarantees historically have been insignificant. In addition, the Company generally would expect to be able to recover a significant portion of the amounts paid under such guarantees from the sale of the underlying financed farm equipment, as the fair value of such equipment is expected to be sufficient to offset a substantial portion of the amounts paid. The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material to its financial position or results of operations.

In addition, at March 31, 2019, the Company had accrued approximately $15.0 million of outstanding guarantees of minimum residual values that may be owed to its finance joint ventures in the United States and Canada due upon expiration of certain eligible operating leases between the finance joint ventures and end users.

Other

The Company sells a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America, Europe and Brazil to its U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. The Company also sells certain accounts receivable under factoring arrangements to financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Legal Claims and Other Matters

In August 2008, as part of routine audits, the Brazilian taxing authorities disallowed deductions relating to the amortization of certain goodwill recognized in connection with a reorganization of the Company’s Brazilian operations and the related transfer of certain assets to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The amount of the tax disallowance through March 31, 2019, not including interest and penalties, was approximately 131.5 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $33.8 million). The amount ultimately in dispute will be significantly greater because of interest and penalties. The Company has been advised by its legal and tax advisors that its position with respect to the deductions is allowable under the tax laws of Brazil. The Company is contesting the disallowance and believes that it is not likely that the assessment, interest or penalties will be required to be paid. However, the ultimate outcome will not be determined until the Brazilian tax appeal process is complete, which could take several years.

The Company is a party to various other legal claims and actions incidental to its business. The Company believes that none of these claims or actions, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to its business or financial statements as a whole, including its results of operations and financial condition.

18.    REVENUE

Revenue is recognized when the Company satisfies the performance obligation by transferring control over goods or services to a dealer, distributor or other customer. The amount of revenue recognized is measured as the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services pursuant to a contract with the customer. A contract exists once the Company receives and accepts a purchase order under a dealer sales agreement, or once the Company enters into a contract with an end user. The Company does not recognize revenue in cases where collectability is not probable, and defers the recognition until collection is probable or payment is received.

The Company generates revenue from the manufacture and distribution of agricultural equipment and replacement parts. Sales of equipment and replacement parts, which represents a majority of the Company’s net sales, are recorded by the Company at the point in time when title and control have been transferred to an independent dealer, distributor or other customer. Title generally passes to the dealer or distributor upon shipment or specified delivery, and the risk of loss upon damage, theft or destruction of the equipment is the responsibility of the dealer, distributor or designated third-party carrier. The Company believes control passes and the performance obligation is satisfied at the point of the stated shipping or delivery term with respect to such sales.

The amount of consideration the Company receives and the revenue recognized varies with certain sales incentives the Company offers to dealers and distributors. Estimates for sales incentives are made at the time of sale for existing incentive programs using the expected value method. These estimates are revised in the event of subsequent modification to the incentive program. All incentive programs are recorded and presented as a reduction of revenue, due to the fact that the Company does not receive a distinct good or service in exchange for the consideration provided.

Dealers or distributors may not return equipment or replacement parts while its contract with the Company is in force, except for under established promotional and annual replacement parts return programs. At the time of sale, the Company estimates the amount of returns based on the terms of promotional and annual return programs and anticipated returns in the future. The Company estimates replacement parts returns based on historical experience and recognizes an asset within “Other current assets” and “Other assets”, which represents the Company’s right to recover the parts it expects to be returned. When the refund for the returned replacement part is settled with the dealer or distributor, the asset is then transferred to inventory. The Company also recognizes a refund liability in “Accrued expenses” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” for the refund the Company expects to pay for returned parts. If actual replacement replacement parts return differ from those estimated, the difference in the replacement asset and refunded liability is recognized in “Cost of goods sold” and “Net sales”, respectively.

Sales and other related taxes are excluded from the transaction price. Shipping and handling costs associated with freight are accounted for as fulfillment costs and are expensed at the time revenue is recognized in “Cost of goods sold” and “Selling, general and administrative expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company applied the practical expedient in ASU 2014-09 to not adjust the amount of revenue to be recognized under a contract with a dealer, distributor or other customer for the time value of money when the difference between the receipt of payment and the recognition of revenue is less than one year.

Although, substantially all revenue is recognized at a point in time, a relatively insignificant amount of installation revenue associated with the sale of grain storage and protein production systems is recognized on an “over time” basis as discussed below. The Company also recognizes revenue “over time” with respect to extended warranty or maintenance contracts and certain technology services. Generally, all of the contracts with customers that relate to “over time” revenue recognition have contract durations of less than 12 months.

Grain Storage and Protein Production Systems Installation Revenue. In certain countries, the Company sells grain storage and protein production systems where the Company is responsible for construction and installation, and the sale is contingent upon customer acceptance. Under these conditions, the revenues are recognized over the term of the contract when the Company can objectively determine control has been transferred to the customer in accordance with agreed-upon specifications in the contract. For these contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment, which is recognized as a contract liability for the amount in excess of the revenue recognized. The Company uses the input method using costs incurred to date relative to total estimated costs at completion to measure the progress toward satisfaction of the performance obligation. Revenues are recorded proportionally as costs are incurred. Costs include labor, material and overhead. The estimation of the progress toward completion is subject to various assumptions. As part of the estimation process, the Company reviews the length of time to complete the performance obligation, the cost of materials and labor productivity. If a significant change in one of the assumptions occurs, then the Company will recognize an adjustment under the cumulative catch-up method and the impact of the adjustment on the revenue recorded to date is recognized in the period the adjustment is identified.

Extended Warranty Contracts. The Company sells separately priced extended warranty contracts, which extends coverage beyond the base warranty period. Revenue is recognized for the extended warranty contract on a straight-line basis, which the Company believes approximates the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations, over the extended warranty period. The extended warranty period ranges from one to five years. Payment is received at the inception of the extended warranty contract, which is recognized as a contract liability for the amount in excess of the revenue recognized. The revenue associated with the sale of extended warranty contracts is insignificant.

Technology Services Revenue. The Company sells a combination of technology products and services. When the bundled package of technology products and services is sold, the portion of the consideration received related to the services component is recognized over time as the Company satisfies the future performance obligation. Revenue is recognized for the hardware component when control is transferred to the dealer or distributor. The revenue associated with the sale of technology services is insignificant.

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities relate to the following: (1) unrecognized revenues where advance payment of consideration precedes the Company’s performance with respect to extended warranty contracts and where the performance obligation is satisfied over time, (2) unrecognized revenues where advance payment of consideration precedes the Company’s performance with respect to certain grain storage and protein production systems and where the performance obligation is satisfied over time and (3) unrecognized revenues where advance payment consideration precedes the Company’s performance with respect to technology services and where the performance obligation is satisfied over time.

19.    LEASES

The Company leases certain land, buildings, machinery, equipment, vehicles and office and computer equipment under finance and operating leases. As previously discussed in Note 1, the Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019. Under the new standard, lessees are required to record an asset (ROU asset or finance lease asset) and a lease liability. The new standard continues to allow for two types of leases for income statement recognition purposes: operating leases and finance leases. Operating leases result in the recognition of a single lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, similar to the treatment for operating leases under previous U.S. GAAP. Finance leases result in an accelerated expense also similar to previous U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 also contains amended guidance regarding the identification of embedded leases in service and supply contracts, as well as the identification of lease and nonlease components of an arrangement. ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term while lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments for the lease term. All leases greater than 12 months result in the recognition of an ROU asset and liability at the lease commencement date based on the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The present value of the lease payments is calculated using the applicable weighted-average discount rate. The weighted-average discount rate is based on the discount rate implicit in the lease, or if the implicit rate is not readily determinable from the lease, then the Company estimates an applicable incremental borrowing rate. The incremental borrowing rate is estimated using the currency denomination of the lease, the contractual lease term and the Company’s applicable borrowing rate.

The Company does not recognize a ROU asset or liability with respect to operating leases with an initial term of 12 months or less and recognizes expense on such leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company accounts for lease components separately from nonlease components other than for real estate and office equipment. The Company evaluated its supplier agreements for the existence of leases and determined these leases comprised an insignificant portion of its supplier agreements. As such, these leases were not material to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company has certain leases that include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to ten years. The exercise of the lease renewal options is at the Company’s discretion and are included in the determination of the ROU asset and lease liability when the option is reasonably certain of being exercised. The depreciable life of ROU assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. The Company has certain lease agreements that include variable rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflation based on the index rate as defined by the applicable government authority.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Our operations are subject to the cyclical nature of the agricultural industry. Sales of our equipment are affected by changes in net cash farm income, farm land values, weather conditions, the demand for agricultural commodities, commodity prices and general economic conditions. We record sales when we sell equipment and replacement parts to our independent dealers, distributors and other customers. To the extent possible, we attempt to sell products to our dealers and distributors on a level basis throughout the year to reduce the effect of seasonal demands on manufacturing operations and to minimize our investment in inventories. However, retail sales by dealers to farmers are highly seasonal and are a function of the timing of the planting and harvesting seasons. As a result, our net sales historically have been the lowest in the first quarter and have increased in subsequent quarters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we generated net income of $65.1 million, or $0.84 per share, compared to $24.3 million, or $0.30 per share, for the same period in 2018.

Net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $1,995.8 million, or approximately 0.6% lower than the same period in 2018, resulting from net sales growth in our Europe/Middle East (“EME”) region, largely offset by the negative impact of currency translation.

Income from operations for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was $92.4 million compared to $50.5 million for the same period in 2018. The increase in income from operations for the three months was primarily the result of improved margins resulting from the benefits of higher production levels, price increases, cost control initiatives and the timing of engineering expenditures as compared to the prior year period.

Regionally, income from operations in our EME region increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to the benefit of increased net sales and production, as well as cost control initiatives and the timing of engineering expenses. In our North American region, income from operations improved for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. The benefits of improved pricing and a favorable sales mix both contributed to the increase. In South America, the operating loss in the first quarter of 2019 was lower as compared to the same period in 2018. The loss in the region reflects seasonally low levels of industry demand and company production, as well as the impact associated with localizing newer product technology into our Brazilian factories. The operating results in our Asia/ Pacific/Africa (“APA”) region declined for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to lower sales levels.

Industry Market Conditions

Farm economics remain challenged across many of the major crop-producing regions, and international trade tensions continue to weigh on farmer sentiment. Equipment demand is expected to be mixed with moderate row crop segment growth in North America, relatively flat demand across Western Europe and modest growth in South America.

In North America, industry unit retail sales of utility and high horsepower tractors for the first three months of 2019 decreased by approximately 3% compared to the first three months of 2018. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first three months of 2019 increased by approximately 28% compared to the first three months of 2018. Lingering trade disputes with China and resulting increases in soybean inventories have slowed replacement demand for equipment in the first three months of 2019.

In Western Europe, industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first three months of 2019 increased approximately 2% compared to the first three months of 2018. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first three months of 2019 decreased by approximately 11% compared to the first three months of 2018. Sales improved across the markets of France and Germany, mostly offset by declines in the United Kingdom and Italy.

South America industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first three months of 2019 decreased approximately 2% compared to the same period in 2018. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first three months of 2019 increased approximately 34% compared to the first three months of 2018. Industry demand in Brazil increased moderately during 2019, while industry sales declined significantly in Argentina in response to lower crop production and farm income.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 2019 were $1,995.8 million compared to $2,007.5 million for the same period in 2018. The following table sets forth, for the three months ended March 31, 2019, the impacts to net sales of currency translation by geographical segment (in millions, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended March 31,				Change					Change Due to Currency Translation
	2019		2018		$			%		$			%
North America	$	496.2	$	502.9	$	(6.7	)	(1.3	)%	$	(3.8	)	(0.8	)%
South America	156.1		182.1		(26.0		)	(14.3	)%	(21.2		)	(11.6	)%
Europe/Middle East	1,210.6		1,163.7		46.9			4.0	%	(106.3		)	(9.1	)%
Asia/Pacific/Africa	132.9		158.8		(25.9		)	(16.3	)%	(10.6		)	(6.7	)%
	$	1,995.8	$	2,007.5	$	(11.7	)	(0.6	)%	$	(141.9	)	(7.1	)%

Regionally, net sales in North America decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The decrease was a result of lower net sales of tractors and grain and protein production equipment, mostly offset by net sales growth of application equipment as well as hay and forage equipment. In the EME region, net sales were higher during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to sales growth in France, the United Kingdom and Spain, partially offset by the impact of foreign currency translation. Net sales in South America decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to sales declines in Brazil and Argentina as well as the negative impact of currency translation. In the APA region, net sales decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018, primarily driven by sales declines in Australia and Asia. We estimate worldwide average price increases were approximately 2.4% during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to the prior year period. Consolidated net sales of tractors and combines, which comprised approximately 58% of our net sales, decreased approximately 1.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. Unit sales of tractors and combines decreased approximately 2.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018. The difference between the unit sales change and the change in net sales was primarily the result of foreign currency translation, pricing and sales mix changes.     

The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage of net sales of certain items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in millions, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019				2018
	$		% of Net Sales(1)		$		% of Net Sales

____________________________________

(1) Rounding may impact summation of amounts.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same periods in 2018. The improvement for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to the same period in 2018 was due to benefits from pricing, higher production levels, as well as material cost and direct labor productivity initiatives. Production

(continued)

hours increased in both Europe and North America, while production hours decreased in South America, primarily resulting from the sales of Brazilian transition inventory built ahead during 2018 related to emission regulation changes. Overall, production hours increased slightly on a global basis during both the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018. We recorded approximately $0.5 million of stock compensation expense within cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately $0.8 million for the comparable period in 2018, as is more fully explained below and in Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A expenses”) and engineering expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 both decreased as a percentage of net sales compared to the same period in 2018. The decrease in engineering expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019 was driven by the timing of expenditures, as we expect 2019 full year engineering expenses to be higher than the full year expenses in 2018.

We recorded approximately $12.0 million of stock compensation expense within SG&A expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to $8.4 million during the same period in 2018, as is more fully explained in Note 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The restructuring expenses of $1.7 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2019 primarily related to severance and other related costs associated with the rationalization of certain manufacturing operations and administrative offices located in Europe, South America and the United States. Refer to Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Interest expense, net was approximately $3.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately $10.3 million for the comparable periods in 2018, primarily as a result of the refinancings completed during 2018 that included the replacement of higher interest-bearing debt with lower interest-bearing debt. Refer to Note 5 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Other expense, net was approximately $14.6 million and $11.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Losses on sales of receivables, primarily related to our accounts receivable sales agreements with our finance joint ventures in North America, Europe and Brazil and included in other expense, net, were approximately $8.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to approximately $7.8 million for the comparable period in 2018.

We recorded an income tax provision of approximately $19.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to $11.4 million for the comparable period in 2018. Our effective tax rate varies from period to period due to the mix of taxable income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2019 includes the impact of a valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets and, accordingly, having no tax benefit against our U.S. losses.

Equity in net earnings of affiliates, which is primarily comprised of income from our finance joint ventures, was approximately $10.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 compared to approximately $7.7 million for the comparable period in 2018. The increase for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 was primarily due to higher net earnings from our finance joint ventures. Refer to “Finance Joint Ventures” for further information regarding our finance joint ventures and their results of operations.

FINANCE JOINT VENTURES

Our AGCO Finance joint ventures provide both retail financing and wholesale financing to our dealers in the United States, Canada, Europe, Brazil, Argentina and Australia. The joint ventures are owned by AGCO and by a wholly owned subsidiary of Rabobank, a financial institution based in the Netherlands. The majority of the assets of the finance joint ventures consist of finance receivables. The majority of the liabilities consist of notes payable and accrued interest. Under the various joint venture agreements, Rabobank or its affiliates provide financing to the joint ventures, primarily through lines of credit. We do not guarantee the debt obligations of the joint ventures. As of March 31, 2019, our capital investment in the finance joint ventures, which is included in “Investment in affiliates” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $351.7 million compared to $358.7 million as of December 31, 2018. The total finance portfolio in our finance joint ventures was approximately $9 billion and $8.8 billion as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The total finance portfolio as of March 31, 2019 included approximately $ 7.3 billion of retail receivables and $ 1.7 billion of wholesale receivables from AGCO dealers. The total finance portfolio as of December 31, 2018 included approximately $7.2 billion of retail receivables and $1.6 billion of wholesale receivables from AGCO dealers. The wholesale receivables either were sold directly to AGCO Finance without recourse from our operating companies or AGCO Finance provided the financing directly to

the dealers. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our share in the earnings of the finance joint ventures, included in “Equity in net earnings of affiliates” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $ 10.1 million compared to $6.7 million for the same period in 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our financing requirements are subject to variations due to seasonal changes in inventory and receivable levels. Internally generated funds are supplemented when necessary from external sources, primarily our credit facility and accounts receivable sales agreements. We believe that the following facilities, discussed below, together with available cash and internally generated funds, will be sufficient to support our working capital, capital expenditures and debt service requirements for the foreseeable future (in millions):

	March 31, 2019
1.056% Senior term loan due 2020	$	224.7
Senior term loan due 2022	168.5
Credit facility, expires 2023	207.9
1.002% Senior term loan due 2025	280.9
Senior term loans due between 2019 and 2028	801.1
Other long-term debt	17.1
Debt issuance costs	(2.8		)
	$	1,697.4

In December 2018, we entered into a term loan agreement with the European Investment Bank (“EIB”), which provided us with the ability to borrow up to €250.0 million. The €250.0 million (or approximately $280.9 million as of March 31, 2019) of funding was received on January 25, 2019 with a maturity date of January 24, 2025. We are permitted to prepay the term loan before it maturity date. Interest is payable on the term loan at 1.002% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears. We have another term loan with the EIB in the amount of €200.0 million (or approximately $224.7 million as of March 31, 2019) that was entered into in December 2014 and that has a maturity date of January 15, 2020.

In October 2016, we borrowed an aggregate amount of €375.0 million through a group of seven related term loan agreements. These agreements have maturities ranging from October 2019 to October 2026. Of these term loans, an aggregate amount of €56.0 million (or $62.9 million) as of March 31, 2019 have maturity dates of October 2019.

We are in compliance with the financial covenants contained in these facilities and expect to continue to maintain such compliance. Should we ever encounter difficulties, our historical relationship with our lenders has been strong and we anticipate their continued long-term support of our business. Refer to Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our current facilities.

Our accounts receivable sales agreements in North America, Europe and Brazil permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of our receivables to our U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. The sales of all receivables are without recourse to us. We do not service the receivables after the sales occur, and we do not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. These agreements are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions and have the effect of reducing accounts receivable and short-term liabilities by the same amount. As of both March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.4 billion.

Our finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing directly to our dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are also without recourse to us. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, these finance joint ventures had approximately $88.1 million and $82.5 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. These arrangements are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions. In addition, we sell certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world. These arrangements are also accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Our debt to capitalization ratio, which is total indebtedness divided by the sum of total indebtedness and stockholders’ equity, was 37.6% and 32.8% at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Cash Flows

Cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $329.9 million for the first three months of 2019 compared to approximately $361.3 million for the first three months of 2018. Our seasonal requirements for working capital resulted in negative cash flow from operations in both the first three months of 2019 and 2018.

Our working capital requirements are seasonal, with investments in working capital typically building in the first half of the year and then reducing in the second half of the year. We had $906.6 million in working capital at March 31, 2019 as compared to $770.7 million at December 31, 2018 and $1,345.8 million at March 31, 2018. Accounts receivable and inventories, combined, at March 31, 2019 were $447.1 million higher than at December 31, 2018 and $70.8 million lower than at March 31, 2018, respectively. Inventories increased as of March 31, 2019 compared March 31, 2018 as a result of higher production and increased inventory required to transition production to products meeting new emissions standards in Europe and Brazil. Working capital as of March 31, 2019 was impacted by the classification of our 1.056% senior term loan as current, given its maturity date of January 15, 2020.

Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2019 were $60.9 million compared to $46.1 million for the same period of 2018. We anticipate that capital expenditures for the full year of 2019 will be approximately $225.0 million and will be used primarily to support the development and enhancement of new and existing products, upgrade our system capabilities and improve our factory productivity.

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $30.0 million of shares of our common stock. We received approximately 379,927 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2019 related to the ASR agreement. The specific number of shares we ultimately repurchased was determined at the completion of the term of the ASR based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of our common stock less an agreed upon discount. Upon settlement of the ASR, we were entitled to receive additional shares of common stock or, under certain circumstances, were required to remit a settlement amount. In May 2019, we received an additional 59,394 shares of common stock upon final settlement of the ASR. All shares received under the ASR were retired upon receipt, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” and “Retained earnings” within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are party to a number of commitments and other financial arrangements, which may include “off-balance sheet” arrangements. At March 31, 2019, we have outstanding guarantees of indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $44.3 million, primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. In addition, we secured approximately $15.0 million of outstanding guarantees of minimum residual values that may be issued to our finance joint ventures in the United States and Canada due upon expiration of certain eligible operating leases between the finance joint ventures and end users. We also sell a majority of our wholesale receivables in North America, Europe and Brazil to our U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. At March 31, 2019, we had outstanding designated and non-designated foreign currency contracts with a gross notional amount of approximately $2,563.8 million. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk-Foreign Currency Risk Management,” as well as to Notes 11, 13 and 17 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further discussion of these matters.

Contingencies

As part of routine audits, the Brazilian taxing authorities disallowed deductions relating to the amortization of certain goodwill recognized in connection with a reorganization of our Brazilian operations and the related transfer of certain assets to our Brazilian subsidiaries.

Refer to Note 17 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these matters.

39

OUTLOOK

Global industry demand is projected to improve modestly in 2019. Our net sales are expected to increase in 2019 reflecting improved sales volumes and positive pricing impacts, offset by unfavorable foreign currency translation impacts. Gross and operating margins are expected to improve from 2018 levels, reflecting the positive impact of pricing and cost reduction initiatives. Accordingly, net income is expected to improve in 2019 compared to 2018.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates estimates, including those related to discounts and sales incentive allowances, goodwill, other intangible and long-lived assets, deferred income taxes and uncertain income tax positions and pension and other postretirement benefit obligations. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Any forward-looking statement should be considered in light of such important factors. For additional factors and additional information regarding these factors, please see “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

We have joint ventures in the Netherlands and Russia with an entity that currently is operating under a time-limited general license from the U.S. Department of the Treasury authorizing the maintenance or wind down of operations and existing contracts. In the event that the license expires without further relief being granted or without other authorization from the U.S. Department of the Treausry, we may no longer be able to continue the joint ventures’ commercial operations and we would be required to assess the fair value of certain assets related to the joint ventures for potential impairment.

New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described above emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of such factors or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and we disclaim any obligation to update the information contained in such statement to reflect subsequent developments or information except as required by law.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency Risk Management

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018. As of the first quarter of 2019, there has been no material change in our exposure to market risks.     

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2019, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We will conduct periodic evaluations of our internal controls to enhance, where necessary, our procedures and controls.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

The table below sets forth information with respect to purchases of our common stock made by or on behalf of us during the three months ended March 31, 2019:

Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs(1)	Maximum Approximate Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs (in millions)(1)
January 1, 2019 through       January 31, 2019	—	$	—	—	$	147.1
February 1, 2019 through       February 28, 2019(2)	379,927	$	63.17	379,927	$	117.1
March 1, 2019 through       March 31, 2019	—	$	—	—	$	117.1
Total	379,927	$	63.17	379,927	$	117.1

⁽¹⁾ The remaining authorized amount to be repurchased is $117.1 million, of which $115.7 million expires in December 2019 and $1.4 million has no expiration date.

⁽²⁾ In February 2019, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $30.0 million of our common stock. The ASR agreement resulted in the initial delivery of 379,927 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 80% of the shares expected to repurchased in connection with the transaction. In May 2019, the remaining 59,394 shares under the ASR agreement were delivered. The average price paid per share related to the ASR agreement reflected in the table above was derived using the fair market value of the shares on the date the initial 379,927 shares were delivered. The amount that may yet be purchased under our share repurchase programs, as presented in the above table, was reduced by the entire $30.0 million payment related to the ASR agreement. Refer to Note 12 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a further discussion of this matter.
