- Net sales of $2.6 billion, down
24.8% year-over-year
- Reported earnings per share of $0.40 and adjusted earnings per
share(1) of $0.68

- Revised 2024 sales and earnings per share outlook reflects the
Grain and Protein divestiture
DULUTH,
Ga., Nov. 5, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AGCO (NYSE:
AGCO), a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution
of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, reported net
sales of $2.6 billion for the third
quarter ended September 30, 2024, a decrease of 24.8% compared
to the third quarter of 2023. Reported net income was $0.40 per share for the third quarter of 2024 and
adjusted net income(1) was $0.68 per share. These results compare to
reported net income of $3.74 per
share and adjusted net income(1) of $3.97 per share, for the third quarter of 2023.
Excluding unfavorable foreign currency translation of 0.6%, net
sales in the third quarter of 2024 decreased 24.2% compared to the
third quarter of 2023.
"We continue to execute against our Farmer-First strategy
focused on enhancing profitability through the cycle with our three
high-margin initiatives, recent portfolio moves and aggressive
actions to control expenses including our ongoing restructuring
program," said Eric Hansotia, AGCO's Chairman, President and
Chief Executive Officer. "The reaffirmation of our full-year
adjusted operating margin outlook of 9% underscores this
transformation, especially considering the significant market
downturn in the third quarter. Low commodity prices and high input
costs led to increased conservatism from our dealers and farmers
resulting in ongoing production cuts to help reduce AGCO and dealer
inventories."
Hansotia continued, "A key pillar of our Farmer-First strategy
is growing our precision ag business through our new PTx portfolio
of brands. AGCO is making significant progress toward our long-term
ambition of full autonomy across the crop cycle by 2030. In August,
PTx Trimble introduced OutRun, the first commercially available
autonomous retrofit grain cart solution in the market, and the
latest offering that demonstrates our commitment to retrofit-first
and mixed-fleets. We believe these types of innovations, along with
the completed divestiture of the Grain & Protein business, will
allow us to focus on delivering higher margin products and better
position AGCO for an upturn in the cycle."
Net sales for the first nine months of 2024 were approximately
$8.8 billion, which is a decrease of
17.3% compared to the same period in 2023. For the first nine
months of 2024, reported net loss was $(2.27) per share, which includes the estimated
loss on the Grain & Protein business held for sale, and
adjusted net income(1) was $5.53 per share. These results compare to
reported net income of $11.10 per
share and adjusted net income(1) of $11.77 per share for the same period in 2023.
Excluding unfavorable foreign currency translation of 0.2%, net
sales in the first nine months of 2024 decreased 17.1% compared to
the same period in 2023.

"Record harvests in the Northern Hemisphere are contributing to
higher grain inventories and pressuring crop prices, which combined
with elevated input costs, are delaying farmers' equipment
purchasing decisions," said Hansotia. "Demand for new equipment has
softened further in most global markets, particularly as lower farm
income persists for crop producers. We continue to expect increased
adoption of precision technology, but more challenging farm
economics are resulting in weaker global industry demand across
most equipment categories. In the first nine months of 2024, retail
tractor industry demand fell by an average of 8% across the three
major regions."
North American industry retail tractor sales decreased 11%
during the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine
months of 2023. Sales declines were relatively consistent across
the horsepower categories with higher horsepower categories
declining more in recent months. Combine unit sales were down 19%
in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in
2023. Lower projected farm income and a refreshed fleet are
expected to continue to pressure industry demand for the remainder
of 2024, resulting in weaker North American industry sales compared
to 2023.
South American industry retail tractor sales decreased 9% during
the first nine months of 2024 compared to the first nine months of
2023. Declines occurred across all South American markets with the
most significant decreases in Argentina and the smaller markets. Demand in
Brazil was negatively impacted by
the floods in Rio Grande do Sul while a challenging first
harvest in the Cerrado region continues to affect farmer buying
behavior. Following three strong years, retail demand in
South America has softened
significantly in 2024 as a result of lower commodity prices and
farm income.
In Western Europe, industry
retail tractor sales decreased 6% during the first nine months of
2024 compared to the first nine months of 2023 with the weakest
conditions in Italy, United Kingdom and France. Industry demand is expected to remain
soft for the remainder of 2024 as lower income levels pressure
demand from arable farmers, while healthy demand from dairy and
livestock producers is expected to mitigate some of the
decline.

North America
Net sales in AGCO's North American region decreased 20.4%
in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in
2023, excluding the impact of unfavorable currency translation and
favorable impact of an acquisition. Softer industry sales and lower
end-market demand contributed to lower sales. The most significant
sales declines occurred in the high-horsepower and mid-range
tractor categories, as well as hay equipment. Income from
operations for the first nine months of 2024 decreased $207.0 million compared to the same period in
2023 and operating margins were 7.5%. The decrease resulted from
lower sales and production volumes, as well as higher warranty
expenses.
South America
South American net sales decreased 42.0% in the first nine
months of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, excluding the
impact of unfavorable currency translation and favorable impact of
an acquisition. Softer industry retail sales and under-production
of retail demand drove most of the decrease. Lower sales of
high-horsepower tractors and combines accounted for most of the
decline. Income from operations in the first nine months of 2024
decreased by $296.8 million compared
to the same period in 2023. This decrease was primarily a result of
lower sales and production volumes as well as negative pricing.
Europe/Middle East
Net sales in the Europe/Middle
East region decreased 8.4% in the first nine months of 2024
compared to the same period in 2023, excluding the impact of
favorable currency translation and favorable impact of an
acquisition. Lower sales across most of the European markets were
partially offset by growth in Germany and Turkey. Declines were largest in mid-range
tractors and hay equipment. Income from operations decreased
$79.5 million in the first nine
months of 2024, compared to the same period in 2023. This decrease
was primarily a result of lower sales and production volumes.
Asia/Pacific/Africa
Asia/Pacific/Africa net sales decreased 22.6%, excluding
unfavorable currency translation impacts and favorable impact of an
acquisition, in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same
period in 2023 due to weaker end market demand and lower production
volumes. Lower sales in China,
Australia and Africa drove most of the decline. Income from
operations decreased by $30.8 million
in the first nine months of 2024 compared to the same period in
2023 primarily due to lower sales volumes.
Outlook
On April 1, 2024, AGCO
acquired an 85% stake in PTx Trimble, and Trimble retains a 15%
stake. AGCO began consolidating the PTx Trimble joint venture into
its consolidated financial statements on April 1, 2024. On November
1, 2024, AGCO closed the previously announced divestiture of
the Grain & Protein business.
AGCO's net sales for 2024 are expected to be approximately
$12.0 billion, reflecting lower sales
volumes. Adjusted operating margins are projected to be
approximately 9%, reflecting the impacts of lower sales, lower
production volumes, increased cost controls and modestly lower
investments in engineering. Based on these assumptions, 2024
adjusted earnings per share are targeted at approximately
$7.50.
* * * * *
AGCO will host a conference call with respect to this earnings
announcement at 10 a.m. Eastern Time on
Tuesday, November 5. The Company will refer to slides on its
conference call. Interested persons can access the conference call
and slide presentation via AGCO's website at www.agcocorp.com under
the "Investors" Section. A replay of the conference call will be
available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the
conference call for 12 months following the call. A copy of this
press release will be available on AGCO's website for at least 12
months following the call.

Safe Harbor Statement
Statements that are not historical facts, including the
projections of earnings per share, production levels, sales,
industry demand, market conditions, commodity prices, currency
translation, farm income levels, margin levels, strategy,
investments in product and technology development, new product
introductions, restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives,
production volumes, tax rates and general economic conditions, are
forward-looking and subject to risks that could cause actual
results to differ materially from those suggested by the
statements. The following are among the factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in
or implied by the forward-looking statements.
- Our financial results depend entirely upon the agricultural
industry, and factors that adversely affect the agricultural
industry generally, including declines in the general economy,
adverse weather, tariffs, increases in farm input costs, lower
commodity prices, lower farm income and changes in the availability
of credit for our retail customers, will adversely affect us.
- We maintain an independent dealer and distribution network in
the markets where we sell products. The financial and operational
capabilities of our dealers and distributors are critical to our
ability to compete in these markets. Higher inventory levels at our
dealers and high utilization of dealer credit limits as well as the
financial health of our dealers could negatively impact future
sales and adversely impact our performance.
- On April 1, 2024, we completed
the acquisition of the ag assets and technologies of Trimble
through the formation of a joint venture, PTx Trimble, of which we
own 85%. Financing the PTx Trimble transaction significantly
increased our indebtedness and interest expense. We also have made
various assumptions relating to the acquisition that may not prove
to be correct and we may fail to realize all of the anticipated
benefits of the acquisition. All acquisitions involve risk, and
there is no certainty that the acquired business will operate as
expected. Each of these items, as well as similar
acquisition-related items, would adversely impact our
performance.
- A majority of our sales and manufacturing takes place outside
the United States, and many of our
sales involve products that are manufactured in one country and
sold in a different country. As a result, we are exposed to risks
related to foreign laws, taxes and tariffs, trade restrictions,
economic conditions, labor supply and relations, political
conditions and governmental policies. These risks may delay or
reduce our realization of value from our international operations.
Among these risks are the uncertain consequences of Brexit and
tariffs imposed on exports to and imports from China.
- We cannot predict or control the impact of the conflict in
Ukraine on our business. Already
it has resulted in reduced sales in Ukraine as farmers have experienced economic
distress, difficulties in harvesting and delivering their products,
as well as general uncertainty. There is a potential for natural
gas shortages, as well as shortages in other energy sources,
throughout Europe, which could
negatively impact our production in Europe both directly and through interrupting
the supply of parts and components that we use. It is unclear how
long these conditions will continue, or whether they will worsen,
and what the ultimate impact on our performance will be. In
addition, AGCO sells products in, and purchases parts and
components from, other regions where there could be hostilities.
Any hostilities likely would adversely impact our performance.
- Most retail sales of the products that we manufacture are
financed, either by our joint ventures with Rabobank or by a bank
or other private lender. Our joint ventures with Rabobank, which
are controlled by Rabobank and are dependent upon Rabobank for
financing as well, finance approximately 50% of the retail sales of
our tractors and combines in the markets where the joint ventures
operate. Any difficulty by Rabobank to continue to provide that
financing, or any business decision by Rabobank as the controlling
member not to fund the business or particular aspects of it (for
example, a particular country or region), would require the joint
ventures to find other sources of financing (which may be difficult
to obtain), or us to find another source of retail financing for
our customers, or our customers would be required to utilize other
retail financing providers. As a result of the recent economic
downturn, financing for capital equipment purchases generally has
become more difficult in certain regions and in some cases, can be
expensive to obtain. To the extent that financing is not available
or available only at unattractive prices, our sales would be
negatively impacted. In addition, Rabobank also is the lead lender
in our revolving credit facility and term loans and for many years
has been an important financing partner for us. Any interruption or
other challenges in that relationship would require us to obtain
alternative financing, which could be difficult.
- Both AGCO and our finance joint ventures have substantial
accounts receivable from dealers and end customers, and we would be
adversely impacted if the collectability of these receivables was
less than optimal; this collectability is dependent upon the
financial strength of the farm industry, which in turn is dependent
upon the general economy and commodity prices, as well as several
of the other factors listed in this section.
- We have experienced substantial and sustained volatility with
respect to currency exchange rate and interest rate changes, which
can adversely affect our reported results of operations and the
competitiveness of our products.
- Our success depends on the introduction of new products,
particularly engines that comply with emission requirements and
sustainable smart farming technology, which require substantial
expenditures; there is no certainty that we can develop the
necessary technology or that the technology that we develop will be
attractive to farmers or available at competitive prices.
- Our expansion plans in emerging markets, including establishing
a greater manufacturing and marketing presence and growing our use
of component suppliers, could entail significant risks.
- Our business increasingly is subject to regulations relating to
privacy and data protection, and if we violate any of those
regulations, or otherwise are the victim of a cyberattack, we could
be subject to significant claims, penalties and damages.
- Cybersecurity breaches including ransomware attacks and other
means are rapidly increasing. We continue to review and improve our
safeguards to minimize our exposure to future attacks. However,
there always will be the potential of the risk that a cyberattack
will be successful and will disrupt our business, either through
shutting down our operations, destroying data, exfiltrating data or
otherwise.
- We depend on suppliers for components, parts and raw materials
for our products, and any failure by our suppliers to provide
products as needed, or by us to promptly address supplier issues,
will adversely impact our ability to timely and efficiently
manufacture and sell products. In addition, the potential of future
natural gas shortages in Europe,
as well as predicted overall shortages in other energy sources,
could also negatively impact our production and that of our supply
chain in the future. There can be no assurance that there will not
be future disruptions.
- Any resurgence of COVID-19, or other future pandemics, could
negatively impact our business through reduced sales, facilities
closures, higher absentee rates, and reduced production at both our
plants and the plants that supply us with parts and components. In
addition, logistical and transportation-related issues and similar
problems may also arise.
- We recently have experienced significant inflation in a range
of costs, including for parts and components, shipping, and energy.
While we have been able to pass along most of those costs through
increased prices, there can be no assurance that we will be able to
continue to do so. If we are not, it will adversely impact our
performance.
- We face significant competition, and if we are unable to
compete successfully against other agricultural equipment
manufacturers, we would lose customers and our net sales and
performance would decline.
- We have a substantial amount of indebtedness (and have incurred
additional indebtedness as part of the PTx Trimble joint venture
transaction), and, as a result, we are subject to certain
restrictive covenants and payment obligations, as well as increased
leverage generally, that may adversely affect our ability to
operate and expand our business.
Further information concerning these and other factors is
included in AGCO's filings with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, including its Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2023, and subsequent Form 10-Qs. AGCO disclaims
any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as
required by law.

credit facility ("Credit Facility") that matures on December 19, 2027. Interest accrues on amounts
outstanding for any borrowings denominated in United States dollars, at the Company's
option, at either (1) the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR")
plus 0.1% plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.875% based on the
Company's credit rating, or (2) the base rate, which is the highest
of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus
0.5%, and (iii) Term SOFR for a one-month tenor plus 1.0%, plus a
margin ranging from 0.000% to 0.875% based on the Company's credit
rating. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding for any borrowings

plus a margin ranging from 0.875% to 1.875% based on the Company's
credit rating. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had
$790.0 million in outstanding
borrowings under the revolving credit facility. Subsequent to the

Term Loan Facility bear interest at the same rate and margin as the
Credit Facility. The Term Loan Facility matures on December 19, 2027. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had $500.0 million outstanding under the Term Loan
Facility. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, on November 1, 2024, the Company repaid the
$500.0 million outstanding under the
Term Loan Facility utilizing proceeds from the sale of the
Company's Grain & Protein business.
The increase in indebtedness as of September 30, 2024 compared to December 31, 2023 related to the PTx Trimble
joint venture transaction that closed on April 1, 2024. The Company financed the joint
venture transaction through a combination of the Senior Notes due
2027 and 2034, the Term Loan Facility and the remainder through
other borrowings and cash on hand.
4. RESTRUCTURING AND BUSINESS
OPTIMIZATION EXPENSES
On June 24, 2024, the Company
announced a restructuring program (the "Program") in response to
increased weakening demand in the agriculture industry. The initial
phase of the Program is focused on further reducing structural
costs, streamlining the Company's workforce and enhancing global
efficiencies related to changing the Company's operating model for
certain corporate and back-office functions and better leveraging
technology and global centers of excellence. The Company estimates
that it will incur charges for one-time termination benefits of
approximately $150 million to
$200 million in connection with this
phase of the Program, primarily consisting of cash charges related
to severance payments, employees benefits and related costs. The
Company expects the majority of these cash charges will be incurred
in 2024 and the first half of 2025. Once fully implemented, the
Company expects this phase of the Program to yield annual run-rate
benefits and cost savings of approximately $100 million to $125
million.
Additionally, in recent years, the Company announced and
initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount in
various manufacturing facilities and administrative offices located
in the U.S., Europe, South America, Africa and Asia, in order to reduce costs in response to
fluctuating global market demand.
Business optimization expenses primarily related to professional
services costs incurred as part of the restructuring program aimed
to reduce structural costs and enhance global efficiencies by
changing the Company's operating model for certain corporate and
back-office functions.
As of December 31, 2023, accrued
severance and other costs related to previous rationalizations were
approximately $7.8 million. During
the three and nine months ended September
30, 2024, the Company recorded an additional $10.5 million and $41.7
million, respectively, of severance, business optimization
and other related costs primarily associated with the Program and
paid approximately $8.9 million and
$14.4 million, respectively, of
severance costs. The $35.2 million of
accrued severance, business optimization and other related costs as
of September 30, 2024, inclusive of
approximately $0.1 million of
positive foreign currency translation impacts, are expected to be
paid primarily during the next 12 months.
5. BUSINESS HELD FOR
SALE
On July 25, 2024, the Company
announced it had entered into a definitive agreement to sell the
majority of its Grain & Protein ("G&P") business for a
purchase price of $700.0 million,
subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. As of
June 30, 2024, the business met the
criteria to be classified as held for sale. The Company recognizes
assets and liabilities held for sale at the lower of carrying value
or fair market value less costs to sell. The Company determined the
intended sale of the G&P business does not represent a
strategic shift that will have a major effect on the consolidated
results of operations, and therefore results of this business were
not classified as discontinued operations. The results of the
G&P business are included within our North America, South
America, Europe/Middle
East and Asia/Pacific/Africa segments. As of September 30,
2024, the Company recognized a loss on business held for sale of
$497.8 million, which represents the
estimated loss on the business held for sale, and is included
within "Loss on business held for sale" in the Company's Condensed
Consolidated Statements of Operations. The estimated loss includes
$71.6 million of cumulative
translation adjustment losses related to the assets expected to be
divested and an estimate of costs to sell the business. On
November 1, 2024, the Company
completed the previously announced sale of the Company's Grain
& Protein business. Additionally, on November 1, 2024, the Company repaid the
$500.0 million outstanding under the
Term Loan Facility and $150.0 million
outstanding under the Credit Facility utilizing proceeds from the
sale of the Company's Grain & Protein business. The Company
will finalize the accounting impacts of the divestiture in the
fourth quarter.
6. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company has four operating segments that are also its
reportable segments, which consist of the North America, South
America, Europe/Middle
East and Asia/Pacific/Africa regions. The Company's reportable
segments are geography based and distribute a full range of
agricultural machinery and precision agriculture technology. 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 generally
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 and nine months ended
September 30, 2024 and 2023 based on
the Company's reportable segments are as follows (in millions):

RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP MEASURES
This earnings release discloses adjusted income from operations,
adjusted operating margin, adjusted net income, adjusted net income
per share and net sales on a constant currency basis and excluding

principles ("GAAP"). A reconciliation of each of those measures to
the most directly comparable GAAP measure is included below.
The following is a reconciliation of reported income from
operations, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share to
