“AGCO’s 2016 results reflect the adverse impact of operating in the lower end of the agricultural equipment cycle, particularly in North and South America,” stated Martin Richenhagen, AGCO’s Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “In this environment, we are taking the necessary steps to ensure AGCO remains competitive by maintaining investment levels and serving our customers with superior products and services. Our long-term optimism within the agricultural industry and our business remains high. We are making significant investments in order to provide new products, new technology and improved distribution over the next few years aimed at further improving our competitive position. We also are investing for long-term growth as evidenced by our acquisition of Cimbria, which closed during the third quarter. This new investment significantly enhances our market position in the European grain handling and storage industry and provides an attractive opportunity to grow our business and expand our margins.”

⁽¹⁾Excludes compact tractors.

“Improving farm technology and nearly ideal weather conditions are supporting record global crop production,” continued Mr. Richenhagen. “Growing global demand for grain is being satisfied by peak production and grain inventories are forecasted to grow during 2016, further pressuring commodity prices and farmer income levels. Facing these conditions, industry demand remains weak across all the major markets. The farm equipment fleet remains relatively young in North America and industry retail sales have declined in the first nine months of 2016, with a significant drop in demand from the row crop segment. Sales of high-horsepower tractors, combines, sprayers and grain storage and handling equipment remained well below last year’s levels. Industry retail sales in Western Europe remained more stable in the first nine months of 2016, but are being impacted by weak economics for dairy producers and lower commodity prices for the arable farming segment. Industry retail sales declines were most pronounced in the United Kingdom and Germany. Industry retail sales in South America during the first nine months of 2016 were negatively influenced by political and economic uncertainty that weakened farmer confidence. The improving political landscape in Brazil contributed to third quarter industry growth from last year’s depressed levels. More supportive government policies in Argentina have contributed to higher sales in that market. Longer term, we expect elevated grain demand driven by population growth and increased protein consumption to result in favorable conditions for our industry.”

North America

North America net sales decreased 9.8% in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period of 2015, excluding the negative impact of currency translation. Dealer inventory reduction efforts and softer industry demand, particularly from the large farm sector, contributed to lower sales. Sales declines were most significant in high margin high horsepower tractors, grain storage equipment and hay tools and were partially offset by increased sales of small and mid-size tractors. Lower sales and production volumes, along with a weaker sales mix, contributed to a reduction in income from operations of approximately $72.4 million for the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015.

South America

Net sales in AGCO’s South American region decreased 8.0% in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the first nine months of 2015, excluding the impact of unfavorable currency translation. Significant sales declines in Brazil were partially offset by growth in Argentina. Income from operations decreased approximately $32.5 million for the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due to lower sales and production volumes, the negative impact of currency translation, as well as material cost inflation.

Europe/Africa/Middle East

AGCO’s EAME net sales increased 4.2% in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, excluding unfavorable currency translation impacts. Higher sales in France and Scandinavia were partially offset by sales declines in Germany and Africa. Income from operations increased approximately $7.9 million for the first nine months of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, due to increased sales partially offset by the negative impact of currency translation.

Asia/Pacific

Net sales in AGCO’s Asia/Pacific region, excluding the negative impact of currency translation, increased 20.5% in the first nine months of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 due primarily to increased sales in China and Australia. Income from operations improved approximately $29.3 million in the first nine months of 2016, compared to the same period in 2015, due to higher sales and production levels in China.

Outlook

Lower global demand for farm equipment is expected to continue to negatively impact AGCO’s sales and earnings in 2016. AGCO’s net sales for 2016 are expected to reach $7.2 billion. Gross and operating margins are expected to be below 2015 levels due to the negative impact of lower sales and production volumes along with a weaker sales mix. Benefits from the Company’s cost reduction initiatives are expected to partially offset the volume-related impacts. Based on these assumptions, 2016 reported earnings per share are targeted at approximately $1.85 and adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring expenses and the non-cash deferred income tax adjustment, are targeted at approximately $2.30.

Safe Harbor Statement

Statements that are not historical facts, including the projections of earnings per share, sales, industry demand, market conditions, commodity prices, currency translation, farm income levels, margin levels, 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, 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.
A majority of our sales and manufacturing take place outside the United States, and, as a result, we are exposed to risks related to foreign laws, taxes, 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.
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 40% 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.
Both AGCO and our finance joint ventures have substantial account receivables from dealers and end customers, and we would be adversely impacted if the collectability of these receivables was not consistent with historical experience; 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, including uncertainty associated with the Euro, 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, which requires substantial expenditures.
Our production levels and capacity constraints at our facilities, including those resulting from plant expansions and systems upgrades at our manufacturing facilities, could adversely affect our results.
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.
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. We also are subject to raw material price fluctuations, which can adversely affect our manufacturing costs.
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 profitability would decline.
We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, and, as result, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants and payment obligations that may adversely affect our ability to operate and expand our business.
On June 23, 2016, the U.K. held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the E.U., commonly referred to as “Brexit.” As a result of the referendum, it is expected that the British government will begin negotiating the terms of the U.K.’s future relationship with the E.U. Although it is unknown what those terms will be, it is possible that there will be greater restrictions on imports and exports between the U.K. and E.U. countries, increased regulatory complexities, and increased currency volatility, any of which could adversely affect our operations and financial results.

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, 2015 and subsequent Form 10-Qs. AGCO disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

2. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

During 2014 and 2015, the Company announced and initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities and administrative offices located in Europe, China, South America and the United States. The aggregate headcount reduction of approximately 2,100 employees during 2014 and 2015 was initiated in order to reduce costs in response to softening global market demand and reduced production volumes. During 2014 and 2015, the Company expensed and paid an aggregate of $68.7 million and $48.5 million, respectively, associated with these rationalizations, of which a majority related to severance and other related costs. The Company had approximately $16.9 million of severance and related costs accrued as of December 31, 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded an additional $5.5 million of severance and related costs associated with further rationalizations in the United States, South America and Europe, associated with the termination of approximately 350 employees, and paid approximately $9.5 million of severance and associated costs. The remaining $13.4 million of accrued severance and other related costs as of September 30, 2016, inclusive of approximately $0.5 million of positive foreign currency translation impacts, are expected to be paid primarily during 2016.

3. INDEBTEDNESS

Indebtedness at September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted of the following:

Inventories, net	$	1,781.3	$	1,423.4

5. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America and Europe to its 49% owned U.S., Canadian and European finance joint ventures. The Company also had an accounts receivable sales agreement that permits the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a portion of its wholesale receivables in Brazil to its Brazilian finance joint venture. As of both September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.1 billion.

Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $4.3 million and $13.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively. Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $4.0 million and $13.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively.

The Company’s finance joint ventures in Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing directly to the Company’s dealers. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, these finance joint ventures had approximately $27.8 million and $17.7 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. In addition, the Company sells certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world.

7. 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 (loss) 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 (loss) from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 are as follows:
