AGCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
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, 2015. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
    
In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“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. 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.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, “Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting” (“ASU 2016-09”). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for forfeitures, employer tax withholding on share-based compensation and the financial statement presentation of excess tax benefits or deficiencies. In addition, the standard clarifies the statement of cash flow presentation for certain components of share-based awards. The application methods are specific to each component of the ASU and may be applied using a prospective, retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedes 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 standard does not significantly change the lessees’ recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Leases are 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 asset representing the right to use the leased asset during the term of an operating lease arrangement. Lessees are 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 standard is largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, ASU 2016-02 expands the disclosure requirements of lease arrangements. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. Upon adoption, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
        
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2014-09 outlines a comprehensive, single revenue recognition model that provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures also will be required to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB delayed the

(unaudited)

effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year or to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not any earlier than the original effective date. Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2014-09, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, “Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)”, ASU 2016-10, “Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing”, ASU 2016-11, “Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting” and ASU 2016-12, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients”. These amendments are intended to improve and clarify the implementation guidance of ASU 2014-09 and each have the same effective date as the original standard. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting these standards on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
    
2.    ACQUISITIONS
    
On February 2, 2016, the Company acquired Tecno Poultry Equipment S.p.A (“Tecno”) for approximately €58.4 million (or approximately $63.4 million). The Company acquired cash of approximately €17.6 million (or approximately $19.1 million) associated with the acquisition. Tecno, headquartered in Marsango di Campo San Martino, Italy, manufactures and supplies poultry housing and related products, including egg collection equipment and trolley feeding systems. The acquisition was financed through the Company’s credit facility (Note 6). The Company allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquired net assets primarily consisted of accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses, deferred revenue, property, plant and equipment, and customer relationship, technology and trademark identifiable intangible assets. The Company recorded approximately $27.5 million of customer relationship, technology and trademark identifiable intangible assets and approximately $20.7 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition. The results of operations of Tecno have been included in the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements as of and from the date of acquisition.

The acquired identifiable intangible assets of Tecno as of the date of the acquisition are summarized in the following table (in millions):

3.    RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

Since 2014, the Company has initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities and administrative offices in order to reduce costs in response to softening global demand and reduced production volumes. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded severance and related costs associated with various rationalizations in the United States, South America and Europe, connected with the termination of approximately 300 employees. The components of the restructuring expenses are summarized as follows (in millions):

Stock Incentive Plan    

Under the Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), up to 10,000,000 shares of AGCO common stock may be issued. As of June 30, 2016, of the 10,000,000 shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, approximately 2,677,493 shares were available for grant, assuming the maximum number of shares are earned related to the performance award grants discussed below. The 2006 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 2006 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $47.94 and $42.46, respectively.
    
During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted 1,327,042 performance awards related to varying performance periods. The awards granted assume the maximum target level of performance is achieved, as applicable. The compensation expense associated with all awards granted under the 2006 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 and earned. Performance award transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2016 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
1,449,396

Shares awarded
1,327,042

Shares forfeited or unearned
(34,440
)
Shares earned

Shares awarded but not earned at June 30
2,741,998


As of June 30, 2016, 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 and earned, was approximately $55.8 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.
    
Restricted Stock Unit Awards    

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company granted 137,496 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. For RSU awards granted in 2015, dividends will accrue on all unvested grants until the end of each vesting date within the three-year requisite service period. In January 2016, the Company amended its RSU award agreement such that dividends will not accrue on unvested grants over the requisite service period on all future RSU grants. The compensation expense associated with these awards is 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 2006 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 was $45.05 and $43.88, respectively. RSU transactions during the six months ended June 30, 2016 were as follows:
Shares awarded but not vested at January 1
137,396

Shares awarded
137,496

Shares forfeited
(3,924
)
Shares vested
(46,137
)
Shares awarded but not vested at June 30
224,831


As of June 30, 2016, the total compensation cost related to the unvested RSUs not yet recognized was approximately $8.3 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.

1.056% Senior Term Loan

In December 2014, the Company entered into a term loan with the European Investment Bank, which provided the Company with the ability to borrow up to €200.0 million. The €200.0 million (or approximately $221.7 million as of June 30, 2016) of funding was received on January 15, 2015 with a maturity date of January 15, 2020. The Company has the ability to prepay the term loan before its maturity date. Interest is payable on the term loan at 1.056% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.

Credit Facility

The Company’s revolving credit and term loan facility consists of an $800.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and a €312.0 million (or approximately $345.9 million as of June 30, 2016) term loan facility. The maturity date of the credit facility is June 26, 2020. Under the credit facility agreement, interest accrues on amounts outstanding, at the Company’s option, depending on the currency borrowed, at either (1) LIBOR or EURIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.75% based on the Company’s leverage ratio, 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 U.S. dollars plus 1.0% plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.25% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. As is more fully described in Note 11, the Company entered into an interest rate swap in 2015 to convert the term loan facility’s floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate of 0.33% plus the applicable margin over the remaining life of the term loan facility. As of June 30, 2016, the Company had $455.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $690.0 million under the facility. Approximately $110.0 million was outstanding under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and €312.0 million (or approximately $345.9 million) was outstanding under the term loan facility as of June 30, 2016. As of December 31, 2015, no amounts were outstanding under the Company’s multi-currency revolving

credit facility, and the Company had the ability to borrow approximately $800.0 million under the facility. Approximately€312.0 million (or approximately $338.9 million) was outstanding under the term loan facility as of December 31, 2015.

During 2015, the Company designated its€312.0 million ($345.9 million as of June 30, 2016) term loan facility as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. See Note 11 for additional information about the net investment hedge.

Senior Term Loan

On April 26, 2016, the Company entered into two term loan agreements with Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (“Rabobank”), in the amount of €100.0 million and €200.0 million, respectively. The €300.0 million (or approximately $332.6 million as of June 30, 2016) of funding was received on April 26, 2016 and was partially used to repay the Company’s 4½% senior term loan with Rabobank which was due May 2, 2016. The Company received net proceeds of approximately €99.6 million (or approximately $112.2 million) after debt issuance costs. The provisions of the two term loans are identical in nature. The Company has the ability to prepay the term loans before their maturity date on April 26, 2021. Interest is payable on the term loans per annum, equal to the EURIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.75% based on the Company’s net leverage ratio. Interest is paid quarterly in arrears. 

5 7/8%  Senior Notes

The Company’s $307.3 million of 57/8% senior notes due December 1, 2021 constitute senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Interest is payable on the notes semi-annually in arrears. At any time prior to September 1, 2021, the Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date at the treasury rate plus 0.5%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any. Beginning September 1, 2021, the Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any. As is more fully described in Note 11, the Company entered into an interest rate swap in 2015 to convert the senior notes’ fixed interest rate to a floating interest rate over the remaining life of the senior notes. During the second quarter of 2016, the Company terminated the interest rate swap. As a result, the Company recorded a deferred gain of approximately $7.3 million associated with the termination, which will be amortized as a reduction to “Interest expense, net” over the remaining term of the 57/8% senior notes through December 1, 2021.

Former 4 1/2% Senior Term Loan

On April 26, 2016, the Company repaid its €200.0 million (or approximately $225.4 million) 41/2% senior term loan with Rabobank that was due May 2, 2016. The Company had the ability to prepay the term loan before its maturity date. Interest was payable on the term loan at 41/2% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears.

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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, outstanding letters of credit totaled $17.4 million and $17.5 million, respectively.

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 and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

10.    INCOME TAXES

At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $145.1 million and $133.0 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. At June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had approximately $64.4 million and $61.2 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $21.5 million and $18.3 million, respectively. Generally, tax years 2010 through 2015 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and certain other foreign tax jurisdictions.
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a non-cash deferred income tax charge of approximately $31.6 million to increase the valuation allowance on its deferred income tax assets in the United States for previous periods. 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 the adjustment to the valuation allowance at June 30, 2016 was 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 deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, in future years.

11.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

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 fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (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 Accounting Standards Codification 820, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Company’s valuation techniques are designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate Risk

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 over 140 countries throughout the world. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, the Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar and the Euro in relation to the British pound.

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 and the Swiss franc in relation to the Euro. 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 designates 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.

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.

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 would 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

Foreign Currency Contracts

During 2016 and 2015, the Company designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges were recorded in other comprehensive loss and were subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold during the period the sales and purchases were recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2016, no losses or gains were reclassified into cost of goods sold as the related sales and purchases had not yet been recognized. The amount of the net loss recorded in other comprehensive income(loss) that was reclassified into cost of goods sold during the six months ended June 30, 2015 was approximately $1.1 million on an after-tax basis. The Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $18.3 million as of June 30, 2016 that were entered into to hedge forecasted sale and purchase transactions. As of December 31, 2015, there were no outstanding foreign currency contracts. The outstanding contracts as of June 30, 2016 range in maturity through December 2016.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

Cash Flow Hedge    

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument with a notional amount of €312.0 million (or approximately $345.9 million as of June 30, 2016) and an expiration date of June 26, 2020. The swap was designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 0.33% plus the applicable margin, and the counterparty to the agreement pays a floating interest rate based on the three-month EURIBOR.

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss). These amounts are subsequently reclassified into “Interest expense, net” as a rate adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the Company’s floating rate term loan facility affects earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the effective portion of the unrealized change in fair value, net of tax, was a loss of approximately $4.4 million and $7.4 million, respectively, which was recorded in other comprehensive income. The amount of the net loss recorded in other comprehensive income that was reclassified into “Interest expense, net” during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately $0.7 million and $0.9 million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. There was no ineffectiveness during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Fair Value Hedge
    
During the third quarter of 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument with a notional amount of $300.0 million and an expiration date of December 1, 2021 designated as a fair value hedge of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes (Note 6). Under the interest rate swap, the Company paid a floating interest rate based on the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.14% and the counterparty to the agreement paid a fixed interest rate of 57/8%. The gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap were recorded to “Interest expense, net” and offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged 57/8% senior notes.

During the second quarter of 2016, the Company terminated the existing interest rate swap transaction and received cash proceeds of approximately $7.3 million. The resulting gain was deferred and is being amortized as a reduction to “Interest expense, net” over the remaining term of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes through December 1, 2021. As of June 30, 2016, the unamortized portion of the deferred gain was approximately $7.3 million and the amortization for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was approximately less than $0.1 million.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses non-derivative and, from time to time, derivative instruments, to hedge a portion of its net investment in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. The Company measures ineffectiveness on these derivatives based on changes in forward 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 dedesignated from a net investment hedge relationship, changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated debt are recorded in earnings through the maturity date.

During 2015, the Company designated its €312.0 million (or approximately $345.9 million as of June 30, 2016) term loan facility with a maturity date of June 26, 2020 as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. As of June 30, 2016, approximately $0.5 million of foreign currency losses were included in the cumulative translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.     

There was no ineffectiveness with respect to the net investment hedge discussed above during the six months ended June 30, 2016.
        
Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

During 2016 and 2015, 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.

As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $1,854.7 million and $1,533.9 million, respectively, that were entered into to economically hedge receivables and payables that were denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported in “Other expense, net.” For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $6.0 million and $14.3 million, respectively, within “Other expense, net” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these contracts. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $5.4 million and a net loss of approximately $40.3 million, respectively, within “Other expense, net” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to these contracts. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

13.    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS

As of June 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 June 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 $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.

Under the terms of the accounts receivable 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 sales agreements, calculated based upon LIBOR plus a margin on any non-interest bearing accounts receivable outstanding and sold under the sales agreements. These fees were 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 sale occurs 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 financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $4.7 million and $9.5 million during the three and six months ended June 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 $4.4 million and $9.4 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, respectively.

The Company’s finance joint ventures in 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 June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, these finance joint ventures had approximately $20.7 million and $17.7 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.

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 and interest rate 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.

The Company’s trading securities consist of foreign-based government bonds. The fair value of the Company’s investments in trading securities classified as Level 2 are priced using nonbinding market prices that are corroborated by observable market data.

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 (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 six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 and assets as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 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, whereby the Company is obligated to repurchase repossessed inventory at market values. The Company has an agreement with its U.S. finance joint venture, AGCO Finance LLC, which limits the Company’s purchase obligations under this arrangement to $6.0 million in the aggregate per 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 June 30, 2016, the Company has outstanding guarantees of indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $13.9 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 2020. The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material to its financial position or results of operations. Losses under such guarantees have historically 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.

Other

The Company sells a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America and Europe to its 49% owned U.S., Canadian and European finance joint ventures, and a portion of its wholesale receivables in Brazil to its Brazilian finance joint venture. 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 June 30, 2016, not including interest and penalties, was approximately 131.5 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $40.9 million). The amount ultimately in dispute will be 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.

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 have historically been the lowest in the first quarter and have increased in subsequent quarters.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended June 30, 2016, we generated net income of $50.3 million, or $0.61 per share, compared to net income of $107.1 million, or $1.22 per share, for the same period in 2015. For the first six months of 2016, we generated net income of $58.1 million, or $0.70 per share, compared to net income of $137.2 million, or $1.55 per share, for the same period in 2015.

Net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were $1,995.6 million and $3,554.9 million, respectively, which were approximately 3.6% and 5.8% lower than the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 due to weaker global market conditions and the negative impact of foreign currency translation.

Income from operations for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was $118.6 million compared to $149.9 million for the same period in 2015. Income from operations was $138.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $196.7 million for the same period in 2015. The decrease in income from operations for the three and six months was primarily a result of lower net sales and production levels, a weaker product mix and higher engineering expenses compared to the same periods in the prior year.

Regionally, income from operations in our Europe/Africa/Middle East (“EAME”) region increased in the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same period in 2015. Higher net sales and production volumes during the second quarter ended June 30, 2016 helped to bolster operating income in the region. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, income from operations decreased in our EAME region compared to the same period in 2015 due to lower sales and production volumes, a weaker sales mix and higher engineering expenses. In the North American region, a decline in net sales and production volumes coupled with a weaker sales mix negatively impacted income from operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. Income from operations in our South American region also decreased in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 due to lower sales and production volumes, material cost inflation and a weaker mix of sales. The operating results in our Asia/Pacific region improved in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 due to higher net sales and production levels in China.

Industry Market Conditions
Growing global grain stocks have resulted in lower prices for all major agricultural commodities, which negatively impacts farm income. As a result of more challenging farm economics, industry demand continued to soften in all major agricultural equipment markets during the first six months of 2016 compared to the first six months of 2015.
    
In North America, industry unit retail sales of utility and high horsepower tractors for the first six months of 2016 decreased by approximately 10% compared to the first six months of 2015. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first six months of 2016 decreased by approximately 19% compared to the first six months of 2015. Retail sales were significantly lower for high horsepower tractors, sprayers and combines, partially offset by stable retail sales for smaller and mid-sized tractors.

In Western Europe, industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first six months of 2016 decreased by approximately 1% compared to the first six months of 2015. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first six months of 2016 decreased by approximately 9% compared to the first six months of 2015. Difficult economic conditions for dairy producers and lower commodity prices in the arable farming sector negatively impacted market demand across Western Europe, with declines most pronounced in Germany and the United Kingdom, partially offset by increases in France.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)


South American industry unit retail sales of tractors in the first six months of 2016 decreased approximately 30% compared to the same period in 2015. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first six months of 2016 decreased by approximately 15% compared to the first six months of 2015. The decline was most pronounced in Brazil. In Brazil, political uncertainty and the depressed general economy negatively impacted industry retail sales.

STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2016 were $1,995.6 million compared to $2,069.3 million for the same period in 2015. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 were $3,554.9 million compared to $3,771.9 million for the same period in 2015. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted net sales by approximately $51.7 million, or 2.5%, in the three months ended June 30, 2016 and by approximately $139.9 million, or 3.7% during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

The following tables sets forth, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the impact to net sales of currency translation by geographical segment (in millions, except percentages):

Regionally, net sales in North America decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. Decreases in net sales of high horsepower tractors, implements and grain storage and handling equipment were partially offset by modest net sales growth in parts, low horsepower tractors and protein production equipment. In the EAME region, net sales increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. Higher sales in France, Scandinavia and Finland were partially offset by net sales declines in Germany and Africa. Net sales in South America decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 primarily due to significant sales declines in Brazil, which were partially offset by growth in Argentina. In the Asia/Pacific region, net sales increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. The increase in net sales during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily driven by net sales growth in China. We estimate worldwide average price increases were approximately 0.8% and 1.2% during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same prior year periods. Consolidated net sales of tractors and combines, which comprised approximately 61% of our net sales in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, decreased approximately 5% and 6% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2015. Unit sales of tractors and combines decreased approximately 4% and 7%, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, compared to the same periods in 2015. The difference between the unit sales decrease and the decrease in net sales was primarily the result of foreign currency translation, pricing and sales mix changes.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. The impact of lower net sales and production levels as well as a weaker product mix were partially offset by benefits from material cost containment and productivity initiatives. Production hours were slightly lower for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and decreased approximately 6% for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015. We recorded approximately $0.5 million and $0.9 million of stock compensation expense within cost of goods sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to approximately $0.3 million and $0.5 million for the comparable periods in 2015, respectively, as is more fully explained below and in Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses and engineering expenses increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to the same periods in 2015 primarily due to the decline in net sales. Engineering spending also increased to support investments in future new product introductions during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. We recorded approximately $5.7 million and $10.8 million of stock compensation expense within SG&A expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to $4.7 million and $6.9 million during the same periods in 2015, as is more fully explained in Note 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

The restructuring expenses of $2.1 million and $4.0 million recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, were 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 3 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Interest expense, net was approximately $11.9 million and $22.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to approximately $11.3 million and $21.5 million for the comparable periods in 2015. The increase was primarily due to lower interest income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 as compared to the same periods in 2015.

Other expense, net was approximately $16.0 million and $27.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $9.5 million and $19.3 million during the same periods in 2015, respectively. The increase in other expense, net during the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 was primarily a result of higher foreign exchange losses compared to the same periods in 2015. Losses on sales of receivables, primarily related to our accounts receivable sales agreements with our finance joint ventures in North America, Europe and Brazil, were approximately $4.7 million and $9.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to approximately $4.4 million and $9.4 million for the comparable periods in 2015.

We recorded an income tax provision of approximately $54.8 million and $54.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to an income tax provision of approximately $37.9 million and $48.5 million for the comparable periods in 2015. 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. During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded a non-cash deferred tax adjustment of approximately $31.6 million to establish a valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets for previous periods. 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. We assessed the likelihood that our deferred tax assets would be recovered from estimated future taxable income and available tax planning strategies and determined that the adjustment to the valuation allowance at June 30, 2016 was appropriate. In making this assessment, all available evidence was considered including the current economic climate, as well as reasonable tax planning strategies. We believe it is more likely than not that we will realize our remaining deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, in future years.

Equity in net earnings of affiliates, which is primarily comprised of income from our finance joint ventures, was approximately $13.5 million and $25.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, compared to approximately $14.4 million and $28.1 million for the comparable periods in 2015, respectively. 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, Brazil, Europe, Argentina and Australia. The joint ventures are owned 49% by AGCO and 51% by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (“Rabobank”), a financial institution based in the Netherlands. The majority of the assets of the finance joint ventures represent finance receivables. The majority of the liabilities represent 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 June 30, 2016, our capital investment in the finance joint ventures, which is included in “Investment in affiliates” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $393.3 million compared to $359.4 million as of December 31, 2015. The total finance portfolio in our finance joint ventures was approximately $8.3 billion and $8.0 billion as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The total finance portfolio as of June 30, 2016 included approximately $6.9 billion of retail receivables and $1.4 billion of wholesale receivables from AGCO dealers. The total finance portfolio as of December 31, 2015 included approximately $6.7 billion of retail receivables and $1.3 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 six months ended June 30, 2016, 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 $24.0 million compared to $26.2 million for the same period in 2015.

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 agreement facilities. We believe that the following facilities, 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):

In addition, while we are in complete compliance with the financial covenants contained in these facilities and currently 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 6 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our current facilities.

Our accounts receivable sales agreements in North America and Europe permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of our receivables to our 49% owned U.S., Canadian and European finance joint ventures, and our accounts receivables agreement in Brazil permits the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a portion of our wholesale receivables to our Brazilian finance joint venture. The sales of all receivables are without recourse to us. We do not service the receivables after the sale occurs, 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 June 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 $1.3 billion and $1.1 billion, respectively.

Our finance joint ventures in Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing directly to our dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements also are without recourse to us. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, these finance joint ventures had approximately $20.7 million and $17.7 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.

Cash Flows

Cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $64.6 million for the first six months of 2016 compared to cash flows provided by operating activities of approximately $28.0 million for the first six months of 2015. 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 $1,160.1 million in working capital at June 30, 2016 as compared with $712.9 million at December 31, 2015 and $1,209.3 million at June 30, 2015. Accounts receivable and inventories, combined, at June 30, 2016 were $449.9 million higher and $153.4 million lower than at December 31, 2015 and June 30, 2015, respectively. The decrease in accounts receivable and inventories as of June 30, 2016 as compared to June 30, 2015 was primarily a result of a decrease in production levels as well as the negative impact of foreign currency translation.

Capital expenditures for the first six months of 2016 were $72.0 million compared to $101.3 million for the first six months of 2015. We anticipate that capital expenditures for the full year of 2016 will be approximately $250.0 million and will primarily be used to support the development and enhancement of new and existing products, upgrade our system capabilities and improve our factory productivity.

Our debt to capitalization ratio, which is total indebtedness divided by the sum of total indebtedness and stockholders’ equity, was 33.1% and 30.0% at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we entered into accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreements with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $120.0 million of shares of our common stock.  We received approximately 2,349,735 shares during the six months ended June 30, 2016 related to the ASR agreements.  All shares received under the ASR agreements were retired upon receipt, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Of the $1,050.0 million in approved share repurchase programs, the remaining amount authorized to be repurchased is approximately $123.9 million.

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 June 30, 2016, we have outstanding guarantees of indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $13.9 million, primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. We also sell a majority of our wholesale receivables in North America and Europe to our 49% owned U.S., Canadian and European finance joint ventures, and a portion of our wholesale accounts receivables to our finance joint venture in Brazil. At June 30, 2016, we had outstanding designated and non-designated foreign currency contracts with a gross notional amount of approximately $1,873.0 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.

OUTLOOK
Industry demand for farm equipment is expected to weaken in all regions for the full year of 2016 compared to 2015 resulting from lower commodity prices and reduced farm income levels. Our net sales in 2016 are expected to decrease compared to 2015, primarily due to the projected industry decline and unfavorable currency translation impacts. Gross and operating margins, as well as net income, are expected to be below 2015 levels due to the negative impact of lower sales and production volumes, a weaker product mix and an expected increase in engineering expenses. Benefits from our cost reduction initiatives are expected to partially offset the volume-related impacts.

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 reserves, goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, derivative financial instruments and contingencies. 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, 2015.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain statements in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking, including certain statements set forth under the headings “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Outlook.” Forward-looking statements reflect assumptions, expectations, projections, intentions or beliefs about future events. These statements, which may relate to such matters as earnings, net sales, margins, industry demand, market conditions, commodity prices, farm incomes, foreign currency translation, general economic outlook, availability of financing, product development and enhancement, system capabilities and factory productivity, production and sales volumes, benefits from cost reduction initiatives, tax rates, compliance with loan covenants, capital expenditures and working capital and debt service requirements are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. These statements do not relate strictly to historical or current facts, and you can identify certain of these statements, but not necessarily all, by the use of the words “anticipate,” “assumed,” “indicate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “predict,” “forecast,” “rely,” “expect,” “continue,” “grow” and other words of similar meaning. Although we believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these statements are reasonable in view of the information currently available to us, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct.

These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Adverse changes in any of the following factors could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:

general economic and capital market conditions;
availability of credit to our retail customers;
the worldwide demand for agricultural products;
grain stock levels and the levels of new and used field inventories;
•     cost of steel and other raw materials;
•     energy costs;
•     performance and collectability of the accounts receivable originated or owned by AGCO or AGCO Finance;
government policies and subsidies;
weather conditions;
interest and foreign currency exchange rates;
pricing and product actions taken by competitors;
commodity prices, acreage planted and crop yields;
farm income, land values, debt levels and access to credit;
pervasive livestock diseases;
production disruptions;
production levels and capacity constraints at our facilities, including those resulting from plant expansions and systems upgrades;
integration of recent and future acquisitions;
our expansion plans in emerging markets;
supply constraints;
our cost reduction and control initiatives;
our research and development efforts;
dealer and distributor actions;
regulations affecting privacy and data protection;
technological difficulties; and
political and economic uncertainty in various areas of the world.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)

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, 2015.

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.

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, 2015. As of the second quarter of 2016, 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 June 30, 2016, 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 June 30, 2016 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

Where any statement is expressly qualified in the Warranties by the expression "to the best of the knowledge, information and belief of the Warrantors" or "so far as the Warrantors are aware" or any similar expression, each Warrantor shall be deemed only to have knowledge of anything of which he is actually aware, having also actually made reasonable enquiry of each other Warrantor (and any other constructive or implied knowledge of any Warrantor shall be expressly excluded from such statement or expression).
9.5
In applying any Warranty to any Target Group Company, any reference to any legal term for an action, remedy, method of judicial proceeding, legal document, legal status, court, official or any legal concept or thing which refers to or relates to a specific jurisdiction shall be deemed to include or refer to what most nearly approximates to that legal term in the relevant jurisdiction and any reference to any statute, regulation, order or other statutory provision of a specific jurisdiction shall be deemed to include what most nearly approximates to that statute, regulation, order or other statutory provision in the relevant jurisdiction.
Sellers' Warranties
9.6
Save as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement (and without prejudice to the foregoing generality, the limitations on Warranty Claims set out in Schedule 6), the total aggregate liability of each Seller for all claims under this Agreement shall be limited to the amount of Consideration actually received by such Seller.

save in each case in respect of any Encumbrance in place at the date of this Agreement pursuant to the Bank Indebtedness.
9.9
Each Seller severally warrants (in respect of itself only) to the Buyer, upon the execution of this Agreement, that it has full power and authority and has obtained all necessary consents to enter into and perform the obligations expressed to be assumed by it under the Transaction Documents, that the obligations expressed to be assumed by it hereunder are legal, valid and binding and enforceable against it in accordance with their terms and that the execution, delivery and performance by it of this Agreement and each Transaction Document will not:

9.11
The Buyer warrants to the Sellers upon the execution of this Agreement that, apart from the Disclosed Matters, neither it nor any other member of the Buyer Group (excluding the Target Group Companies) is actually aware of any fact, matter, event or circumstance which it is actually aware would constitute a breach of Warranty as at the date of this Agreement.

Each Covenantor agrees (having taken independent legal advice) that the undertakings contained in clause 10.1 are reasonable and necessary for the protection of the legitimate interests of the Buyer and the Company and any other Target Group Company and that these restrictions do not work harshly on him. It is nevertheless agreed that, if any such undertaking is found to be void but would be valid if some part were deleted, then such undertaking shall apply with such deletions as may be necessary to make it valid and enforceable. The parties further agree that, without prejudice to any other remedy which may be available to the Buyer, the Buyer shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in relation to any breach or prospective breach of the undertakings in clause 10.1, it being acknowledged that an award of damages may not be an adequate remedy for such a breach.

Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that:
18.2.1
it is not entering into this Agreement on the basis of, and is not relying and has not relied on, any statement or representation (whether negligent or innocent) or warranty or other provision (in any case whether oral, written, express or implied) made, given or agreed to by any person (whether a party to this Agreement or not) except those expressly repeated or referred to in this Agreement or the Disclosure Letter and the only remedy or remedies available to the Buyer in respect of any misrepresentation or untrue statement made to it shall be a claim for breach of contract under this Agreement; and

18.10
This Agreement and the benefits arising under it may be assigned or charged in whole or in part by the Buyer to its financial lenders or banks or any member of their groups (including Funds) or any security agent or trustee acting on their behalf as security for any financing or refinancing in respect of any transaction contemplated by this Agreement (including any additional facilities and hedging made available in connection with such financing or refinancing) and such benefit as may further be assigned to any other financial institution by way of security for the borrowings of the Buyer resulting from any refinancing of the borrowings made under such financing or refinancing or to any person entitled to enforce such security or to any transferee under a valid enforcement of such security provided that any such assignment permitted pursuant to this clause 18.9 shall not increase the liability of any of the Sellers or Warrantors beyond that which the relevant party would otherwise have had pursuant to this Agreement.
