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 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, 2012. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-02, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 does not change the current requirements for reporting net income or other comprehensive income in financial statements. The standard requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) by component. The standard also requires an entity to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the footnotes, significant amounts reclassified out of AOCI by the respective line items of net income, but only if the amount reclassified is required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For amounts that are not required to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, the standard requires an entity to cross-reference other disclosures that provide additional detail on those amounts. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2013 by presenting the required amounts in its footnote disclosures (Note 10).
2. STOCK COMPENSATION PLANS
The Company recorded stock compensation expense as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in millions):
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||
Cost of goods sold | $ | 0.6 | $ | 0.6 | |||
Selling, general and administrative expenses | 7.9 | 7.8 | |||||
Total stock compensation expense | $ | 8.5 | $ | 8.4 |
Stock Incentive Plan
Under the Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), up to 10.0 million shares of AGCO common stock may be issued. 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 and restricted stock awards to employees, officers and non-employee directors of the Company.
Employee Plans
The weighted average grant-date fair value of performance awards granted under the 2006 Plan during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was $50.65 and $52.86, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company granted 1,001,400 awards related to the three-year performance period commencing in 2013 and ending in 2015, assuming the maximum target level of performance is achieved. The compensation expense associated with all awards granted under the 2006 Plan is amortized ratably over the vesting or
7
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 three months ended March 31, 2013 were as follows and are presented as if the Company were to achieve its maximum levels of performance under the plan:
Shares awarded but not earned at January 1 | 2,509,323 | |
Shares awarded | 1,001,400 | |
Shares forfeited or unearned | (115,492 | ) |
Shares earned | (41,388 | ) |
Shares awarded but not earned at March 31 | 3,353,843 |
As of March 31, 2013, 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 $57.3 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, associated with stock-settled appreciation rights (“SSAR”) awards. The Company estimated the fair value of the grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The weighted average grant-date fair value of SSARs granted under the 2006 Plan and the weighted average assumptions under the Black-Scholes option model were as follows for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012:
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||

SSARs outstanding at January 1 | 1,073,087 | ||
SSARs granted | 280,900 | ||
SSARs exercised | (62,450 | ) | |
SSARs canceled or forfeited | (27,106 | ) | |

SSAR price ranges per share: | |||
Granted | $ | 51.84 | |

Granted | $ | 51.84 | |
Exercised | 27.55 | ||
Canceled or forfeited | 47.14 | ||
Outstanding at March 31 | 44.39 |
At March 31, 2013, the weighted average remaining contractual life of SSARs outstanding was approximately five years. As of March 31, 2013, the total compensation cost related to unvested SSARs not yet recognized was approximately $12.5 million and the weighted-average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately three years.

The following table sets forth the exercise price range, number of shares, weighted average exercise price, and remaining contractual lives by groups of similar price as of March 31, 2013:
SSARs Outstanding | SSARs Exercisable | |||||||||||||||
Range of Exercise Prices | Number of Shares | Weighted Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) | Weighted Average Exercise Price | Number of Shares | Weighted Average Exercise Price | |||||||||||
$ 21.45 – $32.01 | 201,469 | 2.9 | $ | 21.81 | 197,219 | $ | 21.59 | |||||||||
$ 33.65 – $44.55 | 254,910 | 2.6 | $ | 35.34 | 210,985 | $ | 35.56 | |||||||||
$ 47.89 – $56.98 | 808,052 | 5.5 | $ | 52.87 | 250,177 | $ | 54.25 | |||||||||
1,264,431 | 658,381 | $ | 38.48 |
The total fair value of SSARs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $3.4 million. There were 606,050 SSARs that were not vested as of March 31, 2013. The total intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable SSARs as of March 31, 2013 was $10.5 million and $9.5 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of SSARs exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $1.7 million. The Company realized an insignificant tax benefit from the exercise of these SSARs.
Director Restricted Stock Grants
The 2006 Plan provides for annual restricted stock grants of the Company’s common stock to all non-employee directors. The shares are restricted as to transferability for a period of three years, but are not subject to forfeiture. In the event a director departs from the Company’s Board of Directors, the non-transferability period expires immediately. The plan allows each director to have the option of forfeiting a portion of the shares awarded in lieu of a cash payment contributed to the participant’s tax withholding to satisfy the statutory minimum federal, state and employment taxes that would be payable at the time of grant. The 2013 grant was made on April 25, 2013 and equated to 17,171 shares of common stock, of which 12,059 shares of common stock were issued after shares were withheld for taxes. The Company will record stock compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2013 associated with these grants.
As of March 31, 2013, of the 10.0 million shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, approximately 3.3 million shares were available for grant, assuming the maximum number of shares are earned related to the performance award grants discussed above.

The Company currently amortizes certain acquired intangible assets, primarily on a straight-line basis, over their estimated useful lives, which range from five to 45 years.
During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company reduced goodwill by approximately $2.0 million related to the realization of tax benefits associated with excess tax basis deductible goodwill resulting from its acquisition of Valtra in Finland.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
The following table sets forth as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the carrying amount of the equity component, the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount and the net carrying amount of the Company’s $201.3 million 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2036 (in millions):
March 31, 2013 | December 31, 2012 | ||||||
Carrying amount of the equity component | $ | 54.3 | $ | 54.3 | |||
Principal amount of the liability component | $ | 201.3 | $ | 201.3 | |||
Less: unamortized discount | (6.9 | ) | (9.2 | ) | |||
Net carrying amount | $ | 194.4 | $ | 192.1 |
The interest expense recognized relating to the contractual interest coupon and the amortization of the discount on the liability component for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes was approximately $2.9 million and $2.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effective interest rate on the liability component for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was 6.1%. The unamortized discount for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes will be amortized through December 2013, as this is the earliest date that the notes’ holders can require the Company to repurchase the notes.
The Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, due December 15, 2036, were issued in December 2006, and provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 15, 2013. The notes are unsecured obligations and are convertible into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest is payable on the notes at 11/4% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective price of $40.65 per share, subject to adjustment, including to reflect the impact to the conversion rate upon payment of any dividends to the Company’s stockholders. The current effective price reflects a conversion rate for the notes of 24.5975 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes.
Holders of the Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes may require the Company to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus any interest, on December 15, 2013. In addition, holders may convert the notes if, during any fiscal quarter, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price of $40.65 per share for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. As of March 31, 2013, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock had exceeded 120% of the conversion price of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for at least 20 trading days in the 30

consecutive trading days ending March 31, 2013, and, therefore, the holders of the notes may convert the notes during the three months ending June 30, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, the Company classified the notes as a current liability due to the redemption feature discussed above, as well as the ability of the holders of the notes to convert the notes during the three months ending June 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, the Company classified the notes as a current liability due to the redemption feature of the notes. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company also classified approximately $6.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of the equity component of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes as “Temporary equity.” The amount classified as “Temporary equity” was measured as the excess of (i) the amount of cash that would be required to be paid upon conversion over (ii) the current carrying amount of the liability-classified component. Due to the redemption feature of the notes, unless converted prior to such date, the notes will be required to be classified as a current liability through at least December 15, 2013. Future classification of the notes between current liabilities and long-term debt beyond December 15, 2013 will be dependent on the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock during future quarters, until the fourth quarter of 2015, unless the Company chooses to redeem the notes beginning December 19, 2013. Holders of the notes may convert the notes earlier than December 15, 2013 dependent on the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock during future quarters in 2013, as previously discussed.
4 1/2% Senior Term Loan
The Company’s €200.0 million (or approximately $256.4 million as of March 31, 2013) 41/2% senior term loan with Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (“Rabobank”) is due May 2, 2016. The Company has the ability to prepay the term loan before its maturity date. Interest is payable on the term loan at 41/2% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The term loan contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of default. The Company also has to fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio.
5 7/8% Senior Notes
The Company’s $300.0 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 on June 1 and December 1 of each year. 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.
Credit Facility
The Company’s revolving credit and term loan facility consists of a $600.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and a $375.0 million term loan facility. The maturity date of the Company’s credit facility is December 1, 2016. The Company is required to make quarterly payments towards the term loan of $5.0 million commencing March 2012 increasing to $10.0 million commencing March 2015. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the credit facility, at the Company’s option, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% 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 US dollars plus 1.0% plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.5% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The credit facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of a default. The Company also has to fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had $591.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $383.1 million. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had $465.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $515.0 million.
The carrying amounts of long-term debt under the Company’s 41/2% senior term loan and credit facility approximate their fair values based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities. At March 31, 2013, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, based on their listed market values, were $326.1 million and $260.9 million, respectively, compared to their
12
carrying values of $300.0 million and $194.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2012, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, based on their listed market values, were $327.2 million and $250.6 million, respectively, compared to their carrying values of $300.0 million and $192.1 million, respectively.
Standby Letters of Credit and Similar Instruments
The Company has arrangements with various banks to issue standby letters of credit or similar instruments, which guarantee the Company’s obligations for the purchase or sale of certain inventories and for potential claims exposure for insurance coverage. At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, outstanding letters of credit totaled $16.7 million and $15.8 million, respectively.

7. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share assumes exercise of outstanding SSARs, vesting of performance share awards, vesting of restricted stock and the appreciation of the excess conversion value of the contingently convertible senior subordinated notes using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. Dilution of weighted shares outstanding will depend on the
13
Company’s stock price for the excess conversion value of the convertible senior subordinated notes using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):
Three Months Ended March 31, | |||||||
2013 | 2012 | ||||||
Basic net income per share: | |||||||
Net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries | $ | 118.0 | $ | 120.2 | |||

Diluted net income per share attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries | $ | 1.19 | $ | 1.21 |
SSARs to purchase approximately 0.8 million and 0.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were outstanding but not included in the calculation of weighted average common and common equivalent shares outstanding because they had an antidilutive impact.
8. INCOME TAXES
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $101.5 million and $94.5 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had approximately $23.0 million and $23.5 million, respectively, of accrued or deferred taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing 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. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $12.8 million and $11.9 million, respectively.
Generally, the tax years 2007 through 2012 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and certain other foreign taxing jurisdictions.
9. 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. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis.
14
Foreign Currency 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, 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 is not hedged. When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.
The foreign currency contracts are primarily forward and options contracts. These contracts’ fair value measurements fall within the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Level 2 fair value measurements are generally based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a valuation model that utilizes spot and forward exchange rates, interest rates and currency pair volatility.
The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies. These policies are reviewed periodically by the Audit 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.
Cash Flow Hedges
During 2013 and 2012, 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) income and are subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions. The amount of the gain (loss) recorded in other comprehensive loss (income) that was reclassified to cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0.5 million and $(0.4) million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The outstanding contracts as of March 31, 2013 range in maturity through December 2013.
The following table summarizes the activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the derivatives held by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2013 (in millions):
Before-Tax Amount | Income Tax | After-Tax Amount | ||||||||||
Accumulated derivative net gains as of December 31, 2012 | $ | 1.1 | $ | 0.4 | $ | 0.7 | ||||||

Accumulated derivative net gains as of March 31, 2013 | $ | 1.5 | $ | 0.6 | $ | 0.9 |
The Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $178.7 million and $110.3 million as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, that were entered into to hedge forecasted sale and purchase transactions.
15
Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
During 2013 and 2012, the Company entered into foreign currency contracts to 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 March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $925.6 million and $1,467.0 million, respectively, that were entered into to hedge receivables and payables that are 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 months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a net (loss) gain of approximately $(12.8) million and $7.2 million, respectively, within “Other expense, net” 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.

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.

11. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS
At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 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 retail finance joint ventures. As of both March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian and European accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.1 billion.
Under the terms of the accounts receivable agreements in North America and Europe, 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 $5.6 million and $5.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
The Company’s retail finance joint ventures in Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing to the Company’s dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are without recourse to the Company. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, these retail finance joint ventures had approximately $108.5 million and $100.6 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.

13. SEGMENT REPORTING
The Company’s four reportable segments distribute a full range of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on income from operations. Sales for each segment are based on the location of the third-party customer. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment based on the region and division where the expenses are incurred. As a result, the components of income from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 and assets as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 based on the Company’s reportable segments are as follows (in millions):

14. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees
The Company maintains a remarketing agreement with its U.S. retail finance joint venture, whereby the Company is obligated to repurchase repossessed inventory at market values. The Company has an agreement with its U.S. retail finance joint venture 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.
21
At March 31, 2013, the Company guaranteed indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $187.7 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 2018. 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 retail finance joint ventures. The Company also sells certain accounts receivable under factoring arrangements to financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.
Legal Claims and Other Matters
As a result of Brazilian tax legislative changes impacting value added taxes (“VAT”), the Company recorded a reserve of approximately $67.4 million and $59.6 million against its outstanding balance of Brazilian VAT receivable as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to collect the amounts outstanding.
On June 27, 2008, the Republic of Iraq filed a civil action in a federal court in New York, Case No. 08 CIV 59617, naming as defendants the Company’s French subsidiary and two of its other foreign subsidiaries that participated in the United Nations Oil for Food Program (the “Program”). Ninety-one other entities or companies also were named as defendants in the civil action due to their participation in the Program. The complaint purports to assert claims against each of the defendants seeking damages in an unspecified amount. On February 6, 2013, the federal court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal with respect to the decision. Although the Company’s subsidiaries intend to vigorously defend against this action, it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this action or its impact, if any, on the Company, although if the outcome was adverse, the Company could be required to pay damages. In addition, the French government also is investigating the Company’s French subsidiary in connection with its participation in the Program.
On May 2, 2013, service of a third-party complaint in a federal court action filed on October 30, 2012 in the State of Texas, Case No. 09 CIV 03884, was attempted. The third-party complaint named as defendants three of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries that participated in the Program. Sixty other entities or companies also were named as third-party defendants in the civil action due to their participation in the Program. The first amended complaint asserts claims against the defendants, certain of which are also third-party plaintiffs, seeking unspecified damages arising from their participation in the Program. The third-party plaintiffs seek contribution from the third-party defendants. The Company’s subsidiaries have not yet answered or moved against the third-party complaint, but the period of time within which to do so has not yet passed. Although the Company’s subsidiaries intend to vigorously defend against this action, it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of the action or its impact, if any, on the Company, although if the outcome was adverse, the Company could be required to pay damages.
As part of routine audits, the Brazilian taxing authorities disallowed deductions relating to the amortization of certain goodwill recognized in connection with a reorganization of the Company’s Brazilian operations and the related transfer of certain assets to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The amount of the tax disallowance through March 31, 2013, not including interest and penalties, was approximately 131.5 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $65.0 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 have been and are expected to continue to be affected by changes in net cash farm income, farm land values, weather conditions, 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 or 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 inventory. 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 March 31, 2013, we generated net income of $118.0 million, or $1.19 per share, compared to net income of $120.2 million, or $1.21 per share, for the same period in 2012.
Net sales during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were $2,403.1 million, which were approximately 5.7% higher than the three months ended March 31, 2012 due to sales growth in most of our geographical segments, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency translation.
Income from operations for the first three months ended March 31, 2013 was $177.4 million, compared to $169.8 million for the same period in 2012. The increase in income from operations during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was a result of an increase in net sales as well as improved gross margins resulting from cost control initiatives and positive pricing impacts, partially offset by higher engineering expenses associated with new engine emission requirements and increased market development expenses.
Income from operations in our Europe/Africa/Middle East (“EAME”) region decreased in the first three months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to a weaker sales mix, increased engineering expenses and transition costs associated with our new German tractor assembly facility. In the South American region, income from operations increased in the first three months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher sales volumes and the benefit of cost reduction initiatives. Income from operations in North America was higher in the first three months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher net sales, a favorable sales mix and cost control initiatives. Income from operations in our Asia/Pacific region increased in the first three months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 as a result of higher net sales, which was partially offset by increased market development expenses in China.
Industry Unit Retail Sales
In North America, industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first three months of 2013 increased by approximately 13% compared to the first three months of 2012, with increases in compact, utility and high horsepower tractors. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first three months of 2013 also increased by approximately 52% compared to the first three months of 2012. Higher levels of farm income in 2012 continued to support equipment demand in the first three months of 2013.
In Western Europe, industry unit retail sales of tractors and combines decreased approximately 5% and 22%, respectively, for the first three months of 2013 compared to the first three months of 2012. Market sales results by country remained mixed during the first three months of 2013, with weather-related declines experienced in the markets of the United Kingdom, Finland and Southern Europe offsetting market growth in France.
South American industry unit retail sales of tractors and combines in the first three months of 2013 increased approximately 23% and 49%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2012. An improved harvest due to favorable weather conditions, attractive government financing rates and favorable crop prices resulted in strong retail demand in Brazil. Retail demand also significantly improved in Argentina.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)
STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the first three months of 2013 were $2,403.1 million compared to $2,273.7 million for the same period in 2012. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted net sales by approximately $60.9 million, or approximately 2.7%, during the first three months of 2013.
The following table sets forth, for the three months ended March 31, 2013, the impact to net sales of currency translation by geographical segment (in millions, except percentages):

Regionally, net sales in North America increased during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily as a result of elevated levels of farm income, predominantly in the professional farming sector. The most significant increases in net sales were in high horsepower tractors, implements and combines. In the EAME region, net sales were relatively flat in the first three months of 2013 compared to the comparable period in 2012 despite softer market conditions and unfavorable weather conditions. Sales declines across many of the Western European markets offset growth in France and Germany. Net sales in South America increased during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to improved market conditions in Brazil and Argentina. Brazilian farmers have benefited from more favorable weather conditions in 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012, which was impacted by a severe drought. In the Asia/Pacific segment, net sales increased in the first three months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily as a result of sales growth in China and East Asia. We estimate that worldwide average price increases during the three months ended March 31, 2013 were approximately 2%. Consolidated net sales of tractors and combines, which comprised approximately 66% of our net sales during the first three months of 2013, increased approximately 8% in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. Unit sales of tractors and combines increased approximately 3% during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012. The difference between the unit sales increase and the increase in net sales was primarily the result of foreign currency translation, pricing and sales mix changes.
The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the percentage relationship to net sales of certain items in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in millions, except percentages):
Three Months Ended March 31, | ||||||||||||||

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to a higher sales volume, favorable pricing and cost reduction initiatives, partially offset by a weaker sales mix as well as additional transition costs associated with our new German tractor assembly facility. Unit production of tractors and combines during the first three months of 2013 was relatively flat compared to the same period in

2012. We recorded approximately $0.6 million of stock compensation expense within cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as is more fully explained in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses as a percentage of net sales increased during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher expenses associated with new market expansion. Engineering expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the prior year period, primarily due to increased investment levels of new product development and costs to meet new engine emission standards in the United States and Europe. We recorded approximately $7.9 million and $7.8 million of stock compensation expense within SG&A expenses during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, as is more fully explained in Note 2 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Interest expense, net was $12.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $13.0 million for the comparable period in 2012. The decrease in interest expense during the three months ended March 31, 2013 is primarily due to a reduction in the amount of debt outstanding under our revolving credit and term loan facility.
Other expense, net was $3.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $4.4 million during the same period in 2012. Other expense, net decreased in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily due to higher foreign exchange gains. Losses on sales of receivables, related to our accounts receivable sales agreements with AGCO Finance in North America and Europe, were $5.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $5.2 million for the comparable period in 2012.
We recorded an income tax provision of $52.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $43.2 million for the comparable period in 2012. Our effective tax rate was higher in the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the same period in 2012 primarily as a result of recording a tax provision related to income generated in the United States during 2013. During the first three months of 2012, no income tax provision was recorded related to income generated in the United States due to previously established valuation allowances against deferred tax assets and net operating loss carryforwards.
Equity in net earnings of affiliates, which is primarily comprised of income from our retail finance joint ventures, was $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $12.0 million for the comparable period in 2012. The reduction was the result of higher provisions for credit losses recorded in 2013 compared to 2012. Refer to “Retail Finance Joint Ventures” for further information regarding our retail finance joint ventures and their results of operations.
RETAIL FINANCE JOINT VENTURES
Our AGCO Finance retail finance joint ventures provide retail financing to end customers and wholesale financing to our dealers in the United States, Canada, Brazil, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, the Netherlands, Denmark, Italy, Sweden, 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 retail 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 March 31, 2013, our capital investment in the retail finance joint ventures, which is included in “Investment in affiliates” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $360.5 million compared to $354.4 million as of December 31, 2012. The total finance portfolio in our retail finance joint ventures was approximately $8.5 billion and $8.3 billion as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The total finance portfolio as of March 31, 2013 included approximately $7.1 billion of retail receivables and $1.4 billion of wholesale receivables from AGCO dealers. The total finance portfolio as of December 31, 2012 included approximately $7.0 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 three months ended March 31, 2013, our share in the earnings of the retail finance joint ventures, included in “Equity in net earnings of affiliates” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $10.2 million compared to $11.3 million for the same period in 2012.
The total finance portfolio in our retail finance joint venture in Brazil was approximately $2.1 billion and $2.0 billion as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. As a result of weak market conditions in Brazil in 2005 and 2006, a substantial portion of this portfolio had been included in a payment deferral program directed by the Brazilian government
25
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)
relating to retail contracts entered into during 2004, where scheduled payments were rescheduled several times between 2005 and 2008. The impact of the deferral program resulted in higher delinquencies and lower collateral coverage for the portfolio. While the joint venture currently considers its reserves for loan losses adequate, it continually monitors its reserves considering borrower payment history, the value of the underlying equipment financed, and further payment deferral programs implemented by the Brazilian government. To date, our retail finance joint ventures in markets outside of Brazil have not experienced any significant changes in the credit quality of their finance portfolios. However, there can be no assurance that the portfolio credit quality will not deteriorate, and, given the size of the portfolio relative to the joint ventures’ levels of equity, a significant adverse change in the joint ventures’ performance would have a material impact on the joint ventures and on our operating results.
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:
• | Our $201.3 million of 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, which mature in 2036 but may be required by holders to be repurchased on December 15, 2013 or could be converted earlier based on the closing sales price of our common stock (see further discussion below). |
• | Our €200.0 million (or approximately $256.4 million as of March 31, 2013) 41/2% senior term loan, which matures in 2016 (see further discussion below). |
• | Our $300.0 million of 57/8% senior notes, which mature in 2021 (see further discussion below). |
• | Our revolving credit and term loan facility, consisting of a $600.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and a $375.0 million term loan facility, which expires in December 2016. As of March 31, 2013, $216.9 million was outstanding under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and $375.0 million was outstanding under the term loan facility (see further discussion below). |
• | Our accounts receivable sales agreements with our retail finance joint ventures in the United States, Canada and Europe. As of March 31, 2013, approximately $1.1 billion of cash had been received under these agreements (see further discussion below). |
In addition, although 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.
Current Facilities
Our $201.3 million of 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due December 15, 2036, issued in December 2006, provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of our common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 15, 2013. Interest is payable on the notes at 11/4% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes are convertible into shares of our common stock at an effective price of $40.65 per share, subject to adjustment, including to reflect the impact to the conversion rate upon payment of any dividends to our stockholders. The current effective price reflects a conversion rate for the notes of 24.5975 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes. Beginning December 19, 2013, we may redeem any of the notes at a redemption price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, as well as settle any excess conversion value with shares of our common stock. Holders of the notes may require us to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, on December 15, 2013, 2016, 2021, 2026 and 2031, as well as settle any excess conversion value with shares of our common stock. Refer to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 for a full description of these notes.
As previously discussed, holders of our 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes may require us to repurchase the notes at a repurchase price of 100% of their principal amount, plus any interest, on December 15, 2013. In addition, holders may convert the notes if, during any fiscal quarter, the closing sales price of our common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price of $40.65 per share for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the
26
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)
preceding fiscal quarter. As of March 31, 2013, the closing sales price of our common stock had exceeded 120% of the conversion price of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending March 31, 2013, and, therefore, the holders of the notes may convert the notes during the three months ending June 30, 2013. As of March 31, 2013, we classified the notes as a current liability due to the redemption feature discussed above, as well as the ability of the holders of the notes to convert the notes during the three months ending June 30, 2013. As of December 31, 2012, we classified the notes as a current liability due to the redemption feature of the notes. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we also classified approximately $6.9 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of the equity component of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes as “Temporary equity.” The amount classified as “Temporary equity” was measured as the excess of (i) the amount of cash that would be required to be paid upon conversion over (ii) the current carrying amount of the liability-classified component. Due to the redemption feature of the notes, unless converted prior to such date, the notes will be required to be classified as a current liability through at least December 15, 2013. Future classification of the notes between current liabilities and long-term debt beyond December 15, 2013 will be dependent on the closing sales price of our common stock during future quarters, until the fourth quarter of 2015, unless we choose to redeem the notes beginning December 19, 2013. Holders of the notes may convert the notes earlier than December 15, 2013 dependent on the closing sales price of our common stock during future quarters in 2013, as previously discussed.
The 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes will impact the diluted weighted average shares outstanding in future periods depending on our stock price for the excess conversion value using the treasury stock method. Refer to Notes 4 and 7 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion.
Our €200.0 million 41/2% senior term loan with Rabobank is due May 2, 2016. We have the ability to prepay the term loan before its maturity date. Interest is payable on the term loan at 41/2% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The term loan contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of default. We also must fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio.
Our $300.0 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 on June 1 and December 1 of each year. At any time prior to September 1, 2021, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at our 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, we may redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at our option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any.
Our revolving credit and term loan facility consists of a $600.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and a $375.0 million term loan facility. The maturity date of our credit facility is December 1, 2016. We are required to make quarterly payments towards the term loan of $5.0 million commencing March 2012 increasing to $10.0 million commencing March 2015. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the credit facility, at our option, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% based on our 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 US dollars plus 1.0% plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.5% based on our leverage ratio. The credit facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of a default. We also must fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio. As of March 31, 2013, we had $591.9 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $383.1 million. As of December 31, 2012, we had $465.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $515.0 million.
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 retail finance joint ventures. 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 both March 31, 2013 and
December 31, 2012, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian and European accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.1 billion.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)
Our AGCO Finance retail finance joint ventures in Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing to our dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are also without recourse to us. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, these retail finance joint ventures had approximately $108.5 million and $100.6 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 $261.3 million and $280.5 million for the first three months of 2013 and 2012, respectively. 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 $1,691.5 million in working capital at March 31, 2013, as compared with $1,489.9 million at December 31, 2012 and $1,509.4 million at March 31, 2012. Accounts receivable and inventories, combined, at March 31, 2013 were $500.2 million higher than at December 31, 2012 and $4.8 million lower than at March 31, 2012. The increase in accounts receivable and inventories during the first three months of 2013 compared to December 2012 was a result of net sales growth and seasonality.
Capital expenditures for the first three months of 2013 were $94.0 million compared to $87.1 million for the first three months of 2012. We anticipate that capital expenditures for the full year of 2013 will be in the range of $400.0 million to $425.0 million and will primarily be used to meet new engine emission requirements, support the development and enhancement of new and existing products, upgrade our system capabilities, improve our factory productivity and establish assembly capabilities in China.
Our debt to capitalization ratio, which is total indebtedness and temporary equity (related to our 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes) divided by the sum of total indebtedness, temporary equity and stockholders’ equity, was 28.9% at March 31, 2013 compared to 27.1% at December 31, 2012.
COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are party to a number of commitments and other financial arrangements, which may include “off-balance sheet” arrangements. At March 31, 2013, we guaranteed indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $187.7 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 retail finance joint ventures. In addition, at March 31, 2013 we had outstanding designated and non-designated foreign exchange contracts with a gross notional amount of approximately $1,104.3 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 9, 11 and 14 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further discussion of these matters.
Contingencies
As a result of Brazilian tax legislation impacting value added taxes (“VAT”), we have recorded a valuation allowance of approximately $67.4 million and $59.6 million against our outstanding balance of Brazilian VAT receivable as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively, due to the uncertainty as to our ability to collect the amounts outstanding.
In June 2008, the Republic of Iraq filed a civil action against three of our foreign subsidiaries that participated in the United Nations Oil for Food Program (the “Program”). On February 6, 2013, the federal court dismissed the complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff has filed a notice of appeal with respect to the decision. The French government also is investigating our French subsidiary in connection with its participation in the Program. Further, in May 2013, service of a third-party complaint filed on October 30, 2012 was attempted involving a federal court action naming as defendants three of our foreign subsidiaries that participated in the Program.
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 14 of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of these matters.

OUTLOOK
Global industry demand is expected to be relatively flat in 2013 compared to 2012. Growth is projected in South America; North America is expected to remain stable; and modest declines are anticipated for Western Europe. For the full year of 2013, we expect an increase in net sales and net income compared to the full year of 2012. Gross margin improvement is expected to be partially offset by increased engineering expenses to meet new engine emission requirements and market expansion expenses.
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, 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, 2012.
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, industry demand, market conditions, general economic outlook, availability of financing, system capability upgrades, expansion of assembly capabilities, productivity and product development initiatives, engineering and market expansion expenses, margin improvements, 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; |

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, 2012.
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
We have significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil, and we purchase a portion of our tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. We also sell products in over 140 countries throughout the world. The majority of our net sales outside the United States are denominated in the currency of the customer location, with the exception of sales in the Middle East, Africa, Asia and parts of South America where net sales are primarily denominated in British pounds, Euros or United States dollars (See “Segment Reporting” in Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 for sales by customer location). Our 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. Fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies create exposures, which can adversely affect our results of operations.
We attempt to manage our transactional foreign currency 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, we hedge certain, but not all, of our exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts. Our translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars is not hedged. Our 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, this translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings. Our hedging policy prohibits use of foreign currency contracts for speculative trading purposes.
All derivatives are recognized on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date a derivative contract is entered into, we designate 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. We currently engage in derivatives that are cash flow hedges of forecasted transactions as well as non-designated derivative instruments. Changes in the fair value of non-designated derivative contracts are reported in current earnings. During 2013 and 2012, we designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of forecasted sales and purchases. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income and subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions. The amount of the gain (loss) recorded in other comprehensive loss (income) that was reclassified to cost of goods sold during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $0.5 million and $(0.4) million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The outstanding contracts as of March 31, 2013 range in maturity through December 2013.
Assuming a 10% change relative to the currency of the hedge contract, this could negatively impact the fair value of the foreign currency instruments by approximately $51.5 million as of March 31, 2013. Using the same sensitivity analysis as of March 31, 2012, the fair value of such instruments would have decreased by approximately $43.5 million. Due to the fact that these instruments are primarily entered into for hedging purposes, the gains or losses on the contracts would largely be offset by losses and gains on the underlying firm commitment or forecasted transaction.
Interest Rates
We manage interest rate risk through the use of fixed rate debt and may in the future utilize interest rate swap contracts. We have fixed rate debt from our convertible senior subordinated notes, senior notes and senior term loan. Our floating rate exposure is related to our credit facility and our accounts receivable sales facilities, which are tied to changes in U.S. and European LIBOR rates. Assuming a 10% increase in interest rates, “Interest expense, net” and “Other expense, net” for the three months ended March 31, 2013 would have increased collectively by approximately $0.7 million.
We had no interest rate swap contracts outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of March 31, 2013, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We will conduct periodic evaluations of our internal controls to enhance, where necessary, our procedures and controls.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.
