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, 20162018. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.


Recent Accounting Pronouncements
        
In August 2017,2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), “Targeted Improvements 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework - Changes to Accountingthe Disclosure Requirements for Hedging Activities”Fair Value Measurement” (“ASU 2017-12”2018-13”), which aligns an entity’s risk management activities. The standard revises the disclosure requirements by removing disclosures no longer considered cost beneficial, modifying specific requirements of disclosures and financial reporting for hedge relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results. The amendments include 1) the ability to apply hedge accounting for risk components in hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and interest rate risk, 2) new alternatives for measuring the hedged item for fair value hedges of interest rate risk, 3) elimination of the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, 4) requirement to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported and 5) less stringent requirements for effectiveness testing, hedge documentation and applying the critical terms match method.adding certain disclosures identified as relevant. ASU 2017-072018-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018,2019, and interim periods within those annual periods using a prospective approach.periods. Early adoption is permittedpermitted. Certain amendments of the standard should be applied prospectively for anyonly the most recent interim or annual period. Theperiod presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments of the standard should be applied retrospectively to existing hedging relationships on the date of adoption.all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating thestandard will not have an impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, but the Company has elected not to adopt the standard for the year ended December 31, 2017.flows.


In March 2017,February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07, “Improving the Presentation2018-02, “Reclassification of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost”Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2017-07”2018-02”), which requiresallows for the service cost componentelection to reclassify the disproportionate income tax effects of net periodic pensionthe Tax Cuts and postretirement benefit cost be includedJobs Act (the “2017 Tax Act”) on items within accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to retained earnings. These disproportionate income tax effect items are referred to as “stranded tax effects.” The amendments within ASU 2018-02 only relate to the reclassification of the income tax effects of the 2017 Tax Act. Certain disclosures are required in the same line itemperiod of adoption as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by employees. The other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost are required to be classified outsidewhether an entity has elected to reclassify the subtotal of income from operations. Of the components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost, only the service cost component will be eligible for asset capitalization. ASU 2017-07 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods, using a retrospective approach for the presentation of the service cost component and other components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost in the statement of operations; and a prospective approach for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost in assets. Early adoption is permitted for any interim or annual period. ASU 2017-07 allows a practical expedient for applying the retrospective presentation requirements.stranded tax effects. The Company is currently evaluatingadopted the standard effective January 1, 2019, and the adoption did not have a material impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows, but the Company has elected not to early adopt the standard for the year ended December 31, 2017.flows.


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

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, “Restricted Cash” (“ASU 2016-18”). which requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim period within those annual periods using a retrospective approach. 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 cash flows, but does not expectwill apply the standard to have a material impact.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory” (“ASU 2016-16”), which requires recognition of the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the standard eliminates the exception to the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer other than for inventory until the asset has been sold to an outside party. ASU 2016-16 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods using a modified retrospective approach. 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, but the Company has elected not to early adopt the standard for the year ended December 31, 2017.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” (“ASU 2016-15”), which addresses eight specific cash flow issues with the objective of reducing the existing diversity in practice. The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. ASU 2016-15 may be applied using a retrospective approach or a prospective approach, if impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted in any interim or annual period. The Company adopted ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2017 and the adoption did not have a material impact on its cash flows.all impairment tests performed thereafter.
    
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets held. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those annual periods as the adoption of the standard relates to the Company. However, the standard does not have to be adopted by the Company's finance joint ventures until annual periods beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those annual periods. This standard will likely impact the results of operations and financial condition of the Company’s finance joint ventures and as a result, will likely impact the Company’s “Investment in affiliates” and “Equity in net earnings of affiliates”

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

In 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 Company adopted ASU 2016-09 on January 1, 2017 by prospectively recognizing excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as the awards vest or were settled, when applicable, and by prospectively presenting excess tax benefits as an operating activity, rather than a financing activity, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, when applicable. In addition, the Company elected to change its accounting policy to recognize actual forfeitures, rather than estimate the number of awards that are expected to vest, by adjusting stock compensation expense in the same period as the forfeitures occur. The change in accounting policy was adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with a cumulative effect adjustment to “Retained Earnings” of approximately $1.7 million as of January 1, 2017 for the difference between stock compensation expense previously recorded and the amount that would have been recorded without assuming forfeitures.

In February 2016, theFASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”), which supersedessuperseded the existing lease guidance under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2016-02 is based on the principle that entities should recognize assets and liabilities arising from leases. The new standard does not significantly change the lessees’ recognition, measurement and presentation of expenses and cash flows from the previous accounting standard. Leases arestandard and leases continue to be classified as finance or operating. ASU 2016-02’s primary change is the requirement for entities to recognize a lease liability for payments and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset representing the right to use the leased asset during the term of an operating lease arrangement. Lessees arewere permitted to make an accounting policy election to not recognize the asset and liability for leases with a term of 12 months or less. Lessors’ accounting under the new standard iswas largely unchanged from the previous accounting standard. In addition, ASU 2016-02 expandsexpanded 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 arewere 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, but the Company has elected not to early adopt the standard for the year ended December 31, 2017.
In May 2014,July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”),2018-11, “Targeted Improvements,” which providesallowed for a single, comprehensive revenue recognition model for all contracts with customers with 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 amountoptional transition method 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, including significant judgments and changes in those judgments. The standard is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2016.  Entities haveprovided the option to use the effective date as the date of initial application on transition. Under this option, the comparative periods would continue to apply the legacy guidance in ASC 840, including the disclosure requirements, and a cumulative effect adjustment would be recognized in the period of adoption rather than the earliest period presented.  Under this transition option, comparative reporting would not be required and the provisions of the standard would be applied prospectively to leases in effect at the date of adoption.
The Company adopted the new standard under a full retrospective approach to each prior reporting period presented, orguidance effective January 1, 2019 using a modified retrospective approach with theand no cumulative effect adjustment was recorded upon adoption. Based on the Company’s current lease portfolio, the adoption of initial adoptionthe standard as of January 1, 2019 resulted in the recognition on that date of ROU assets and application withinoperating lease liabilities in the amount of approximately $194.2 million and $196.4 million, respectively, in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated StatementBalance Sheets.

Approximately €312.0 million (or approximately $329.2 million) was outstanding under the term loan facility as of December 31, 2016.


During 2015, the Company designated its €312.0 million ($368.1 million as of September 30, 2017) 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.

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 $305.6 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 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. As of September 30, 2017, the unamortized portion of the deferred gain was approximately $5.6 million and the amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was approximately $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively.


Senior Term Loans Due Between 2019 and 2026

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 September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, outstanding letters of credit totaled $15.2$13.9 million and $17.1$14.1 million, respectively.



6    RECOVERABLE INDIRECT TAXES

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

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 nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 20162018 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

10.    INCOME TAXES


At September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20162018, the Company had approximately $151.2165.3 million and $139.9$166.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20162018, the Company had approximately $57.156.3 million and $47.058.5 million, respectively, of accrued or deferred taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions that it expects to settle or pay in the next 12 months. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. At September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20162018, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $20.928.3 million and $16.427.2 million, respectively. Generally, tax years 20112013 through 20162018 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and certain other foreign tax jurisdictions.

During the second quarter of 2016, theThe Company recordedmaintains a non-cash deferred income tax charge of approximately $31.6 million to increase the valuation allowance onto fully reserve against its net deferred income tax assets in the United States for previous periods.and certain foreign jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company assessed the likelihood that its deferred tax assets would be recovered from estimated future taxable income and available tax planning strategies and determined that the adjustmentall adjustments to the valuation allowance at June 30, 2016 wasallowances were appropriate. In making this assessment, all available evidence was considered including the current economic climate, as well as reasonable tax planning strategies. As of September 30, 2017, theThe Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its remaining net deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, in future years.

11.    DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES


The Company has significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil, and it purchases a portion of its tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. The Company also sells products in over 150approximately 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 EuroBritish pound in relation to the British pound.

Euro. The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the anticipated settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, the Company hedges certain, but not all, of its exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts. The Company’s translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars may be partially hedged from time to time. The Company’s most significant translation exposures are the Euro, the British pound and the Brazilian real in relation to the United States dollar and the Swiss franc in relation to the Euro.dollar. When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.


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

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

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

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


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


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


Counterparty Risk


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

Derivative Transactions Designated as Hedging Instruments


Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Contracts


The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair values of these cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and are subsequently reclassified into “Cost of goods sold” during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions.
    
During 2017,2019 and 2018, the Company designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The total notional value of derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges was $107.4$205.8 million and $111.2$127.0 million as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, respectively.

Interest Rate Contract

The Company monitors the mix of short-term and long-term debt regularly. From time to time, the Company manages the risk to interest rate fluctuations through the use of derivative financial instruments. During 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument with a notional amount of €312.0 million (or approximately $368.1 million at September 30, 2017) 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 accumulated other comprehensive loss and 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.

Fair Value Hedges

The Company uses interest rate swap agreements designated as fair value hedges to minimize exposure to changes in the fair value of fixed-rate debt that results from fluctuations in benchmark interest rates. During 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 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. Refer to Note 6 for further information.


Net Investment Hedges


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

net investment hedge relationship, changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated debt are recorded in earnings through the maturity date.


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

During 2015,the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company designated its €312.0€160.0 million (or approximately $368.1$179.8 million as of September 30, 2017) term loanMarch 31, 2019) of its multi-currency revolving credit facility with a maturity date of June 26, 2020October 17, 2023 as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment.

Share Repurchase Program



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


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

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

16.    SEGMENT REPORTING


Effective January 1, 2017, the Company modified its system of reporting, resulting from changes to its internal management and organizational structure, which changed its reportable segments from North America; South America; Europe/Africa/Middle East; and Asia/Pacific to North America; South America; Europe/Middle East; and Asia/Pacific/Africa. The Asia/Pacific/Africa reportable segment includes the regions of Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and the Europe/Middle East segment no longer includes certain markets in Africa. Effective January 1, 2017, these reportable segments are reflective of how the Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Disclosures for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, as well as the year ended December 31, 2016, have been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.

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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and 20162018 and assets as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 20162018 based on the Company’s reportable segments are as follows (in millions):

17.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements


Guarantees


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


At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, the Company hashad outstanding guarantees of indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $75.2$44.3 million, primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. Such guarantees generally obligate the Company to repay outstanding finance obligations owed to financial institutions if dealers or end users default on such loans through 2021. The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material to its financial position or results of operations.2024. Losses under such guarantees historically have been insignificant. In addition, the Company generally would expect to be able to recover a significant portion of the amounts paid under such guarantees from the sale of the underlying financed farm equipment, as the fair value of such equipment is expected to be sufficient to offset a substantial portion of the amounts paid. The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material to its financial position or results of operations.


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

Legal Claims and Other Matters


The Environmental Protection Agency of Victoria, Australia has issued the Company’s Australian subsidiary a notice regarding remediation of contamination of a property located in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. The property was owned and divested by the subsidiary before the subsidiary was acquired by the Company. The Australian subsidiary has applied to the Victorian Supreme Court for judicial review seeking to quash the decision of the Environmental Protection Agency of Victoria and to suspend the remediation notice. At this time, the Company is not able to determine whether the subsidiary might have any liability or the nature and cost of any possible required remediation. 

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 September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, not including interest and penalties, was approximately 131.5 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $41.5$33.8 million). The amount ultimately in dispute will be significantly greater because of interest and penalties. The Company has been advised by its legal and tax advisors that its position with respect to the deductions is allowable under the tax laws of Brazil. The Company is contesting the disallowance and believes that it is not likely that the assessment, interest or penalties will be required to be paid. However, the ultimate outcome will not be determined until the Brazilian tax appeal process is complete, which could take several years.


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


18.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT    REVENUE


On October 2, 2017,Revenue is recognized when the Company acquired certain net assetssatisfies the performance obligation by transferring control over goods or services to a dealer, distributor or other customer. The amount of revenue recognized is measured as the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services pursuant to a contract with the customer. A contract exists once the Company receives and accepts a purchase order under a dealer sales agreement, or once the Company enters into a contract with an end user. The Company does not recognize revenue in cases where collectability is not probable, and defers the recognition until collection is probable or payment is received.

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

The amount of consideration the Company receives and the revenue recognized varies with certain sales incentives the Company offers to dealers and distributors. Estimates for approximately €88.7 million (or approximately $104.1 million). Lely, headquarteredsales incentives are made at the time of sale for existing incentive programs using the expected value method. These estimates are revised in Maassluis, Netherlands,the event of subsequent modification to the incentive program. All incentive programs are recorded and presented as a reduction of revenue, due to the fact that the Company does not receive a distinct good or service in exchange for the consideration provided.

Dealers or distributors may not return equipment or replacement parts while its contract with the Company is a leading manufacturerin force, except for under established promotional and annual replacement parts return programs. At the time of haysale, the Company estimates the amount of returns based on the terms of promotional and forage equipmentannual return programs and anticipated returns in Europe.the future. The acquisition was financed throughCompany estimates replacement parts returns based on historical experience and recognizes an asset within “Other current assets” and “Other assets”, which represents the Company’s credit facility (Note 6).right to recover the parts it expects to be returned. When the refund for the returned replacement part is settled with the dealer or distributor, the asset is then transferred to inventory. The Company will allocatealso recognizes a refund liability in “Accrued expenses” and “Other noncurrent liabilities” for the purchase pricerefund the Company expects to pay for returned parts. If actual replacement replacement parts return differ from those estimated, the difference in the replacement asset and refunded liability is recognized in “Cost of goods sold” and “Net sales”, respectively.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Contract Liabilities

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

19.    LEASES

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

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

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


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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we generated net income of $60.7$65.1 million, or $0.76$0.84 per share, compared to net income of $40.0$24.3 million, or $0.50$0.30 per share, for the same period in 2016. For the first nine months of 2017, we generated net income of $142.1 million, or $1.77 per share, compared to net income of $98.1 million, or $1.20 per share, for the same period in 2016.2018.


Net sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 were $1,986.3$1,995.8 million, and $5,779.1 million, respectively, which wereor approximately 12.8% and 8.7% higher0.6% lower than the same periodsperiod in 2016, respectively, primarily due to the benefit of new acquisitions and2018, resulting from net sales growth in our South America, Europe/Middle East (“EME”) and Asia/Pacific/Africa (“APA”) regions.region, largely offset by the negative impact of currency translation.


Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 was $97.0$92.4 million compared to $59.0$50.5 million for the same period in 2016. Income from operations was $261.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to $197.0 million for the same period in 2016.2018. The increase in income from operations for the three and nine months was primarily athe result of improved margins resulting from the benefits of higher net salesproduction levels, price increases, cost control initiatives and improved operating margins.the timing of engineering expenditures as compared to the prior year period.


Regionally, income from operations in our EME region increased in bothfor the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018. The increase was primarily due to the benefit of increased net sales and production, levels as well as a favorable sales mix.cost control initiatives and the timing of engineering expenses. In our North American region, income from operations improved for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018. The impacts frombenefits of improved factory productivitypricing and expense reduction efforts were partially offset bya favorable sales mix both contributed to the increase. In South America, the operating loss in the first quarter of 2019 was lower net sales and production volumes. Income from operations in our South American region also increased in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017as compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018. The benefitsloss in the region reflects seasonally low levels of higher net salesindustry demand and company production, volumes were mostly offset by material cost inflation and costsas well as the impact associated with transitioning to new tier 3 emission technology.localizing newer product technology into our Brazilian factories. The operating results in our APAAsia/ Pacific/Africa (“APA”) region improveddeclined for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to the same periodsperiod in 20162018 primarily due to higher netlower sales and production levels.

Regionally, net sales in North America increaseddecreased during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to the same periodperiods in 2016.2018. The increasedecrease was a result of lower net sales of tractors and grain and protein production equipment, mostly offset by net sales growth of mid-range tractorsapplication equipment as well as hay and high horsepower tractors, partially offset by net sales declines of sprayers and combines. Net sales in North America decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 resulting from softer industry demand and dealer inventory reduction efforts.forage equipment. In the EME region, net sales were higher during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared to the same periodsperiod in 2016.2018.

In addition, during the three months ended September 30, 2017, other expense, net was a result of foreign exchange losses compared to foreign exchange gains in the same period in 2016. The increase in other expense, net during the during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as compared to the same period in 2016 was a result of higher foreign exchange losses.2018.


We recorded an income tax provision of approximately $16.9 million and $64.9$19.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2019, compared to $19.5$11.4 million and $73.9 million, respectively, for the comparable periodsperiod in 2016.2018. Our effective tax rate varies from period to period due to the mix of taxable income and losses in the various tax jurisdictions in which we operate. Our effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 reflectsMarch 31, 2019 includes the impact of establishing a valuation allowance during the three months ended June 30, 2016 against our U.S. net deferred income tax assets, as we have not been recording a tax benefit against losses in that jurisdiction since that period.

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 deferredand, accordingly, having no tax assets will not be realized. We assessed the likelihood thatbenefit against 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. As of September 30, 2017, 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.U.S. losses.

Equity in net earnings of affiliates, which is primarily comprised of income from our finance joint ventures, was approximately $10.7 million and $30.8$10.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively,March 31, 2019 compared to approximately $11.8 million and $37.5$7.7 million for the comparable periodsperiod in 2016.2018.

FINANCE JOINT VENTURES
Our AGCO Finance joint ventures provide both retail financing and wholesale financing to our dealers in the United States, Canada, Europe, Brazil, Argentina and Australia. The joint ventures are owned by AGCO and by a wholly owned subsidiary of Rabobank, a financial institution based in the Netherlands. The majority of the assets of the finance joint ventures consist of finance receivables. The majority of the liabilities consist of notes payable and accrued interest. Under the various joint venture agreements, Rabobank or its affiliates provide financing to the joint ventures, primarily through lines of credit. We do not guarantee the debt obligations of the joint ventures. As of September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, our capital investment in the finance joint ventures, which is included in “Investment in affiliates” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, was approximately $430.1$351.7 million compared to $380.8$358.7 million as of December 31, 2016.2018.

the dealers. For the ninethree months ended September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, our share in the earnings of the finance joint ventures, included in “Equity in net earnings of affiliates” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, was $30.7$ 10.1 million compared to $36.8$6.7 million for the same period in 2016.2018.

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

In October 2016, we borrowed an aggregate amount of €375.0 million through a group of seven related term loan agreements. These agreements have maturities ranging from October 2019 to October 2026. Of these term loans, an aggregate amount of €56.0 million (or $62.9 million) as of March 31, 2019 have maturity dates of October 2019.
We are in compliance with the financial covenants contained in these facilities and currently expect to continue to maintain such compliance, shouldcompliance. 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 65 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding our current facilities.
    
Our accounts receivable sales agreements in North America, Europe and Brazil permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of our receivables to our U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. The sales of all receivables are without recourse to us. We do not service the receivables after the sale occurs,sales occur, and we do not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. These agreements are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions and have the effect of reducing accounts receivable and short-term liabilities by the same amount. As of both September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian accounts receivable sales agreements werewas approximately $1.1$1.4 billion.


Our finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing directly to our dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are also without recourse to us. As of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2016,2018, these finance joint ventures had approximately $40.2$88.1 million and $41.5$82.5 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. These arrangements are accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions. In

Cash Flows


Cash flows used in operating activities were approximately $29.2$329.9 million for the first ninethree months of 20172019 compared to approximately $127.4$361.3 million for the first ninethree months of 2016. 2018. Our seasonal requirements for working capital resulted in negative cash flow from operations in both the first three months of 2019 and 2018.

Our working capital requirements are seasonal, with investments in working capital typically building in the first half of the year and then reducing in the second half of the year. We had $1,291.4$906.6 million in working capital at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 as compared to $1,020.8$770.7 million at December 31, 20162018 and $1,271.1$1,345.8 million at September 30, 2016.March 31, 2018. Accounts receivable and inventories, combined, at September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 were $707.4 million and $275.8$447.1 million higher than at December 31, 20162018 and September 30, 2016,$70.8 million lower than at March 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in accounts receivable and inventoriesInventories increased as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 compared March 31, 2018 as a result of higher production and increased inventory required to September 30, 2016transition production to products meeting new emissions standards in Europe and Brazil.

Capital expenditures for the first ninethree months of 20172019 were $139.4$60.9 million compared to $132.8$46.1 million for the same period of 2016.2018. We anticipate that capital expenditures for the full year of 20172019 will be approximately $200.0 million to $225.0 million and will be used primarily to support the development and enhancement of new and existing products, upgrade our system capabilities and improve our factory productivity.

Our debtShare Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a financial institution to capitalization ratio, which is total indebtedness divided byrepurchase an aggregate of $30.0 million of shares of our common stock. We received approximately 379,927 shares during the sumthree months ended March 31, 2019 related to the ASR agreement. The specific number of total indebtednessshares we ultimately repurchased was determined at the completion of the term of the ASR based on the daily volume-weighted average share price of our common stock less an agreed upon discount. Upon settlement of the ASR, we were entitled to receive additional shares of common stock or, under certain circumstances, were required to remit a settlement amount. In May 2019, we received an additional 59,394 shares of common stock upon final settlement of the ASR. All shares received under the ASR were retired upon receipt, and stockholders’ equity,the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was 40.0%recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” and 37.5% at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.“Retained earnings” within our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.


COMMITMENTS, OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are party to a number of commitments and other financial arrangements, which may include “off-balance sheet” arrangements. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we have outstanding guarantees of indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $75.2$44.3 million, primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. In addition, we secured approximately $15.0 million of outstanding guarantees of minimum residual values that may be issued to our finance joint ventures in the United States and Canada due upon expiration of certain eligible operating leases between the finance joint ventures and end users. We also sell a majority of our wholesale receivables in North America, Europe and Brazil to our U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. At September 30, 2017,March 31, 2019, we had outstanding designated and non-designated foreign currency contracts with a gross notional amount of approximately $1,499.0$2,563.8 million. Refer to “Liquidity and Capital Resources” and “Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk-Foreign Currency Risk Management,” as well as to Notes 11, 13 and 17 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further discussion of these matters.


Contingencies

The Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) of Victoria, Australia has issued our Australian subsidiary a notice to our subsidiary regarding remediation of contamination of a property located in a suburb of Melbourne, Australia. Our Australian subsidiary has applied to the Victoria Supreme court for judicial review seeking to quash the decision of the EPA of Victoria and to suspend the notice.


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.

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,discounts and sales incentive allowances, goodwill, other intangible and intangiblelong-lived assets, deferred income taxes and uncertain income tax positions and pension and other postretirement benefit obligations, derivative financial instruments and contingencies.obligations. Management bases these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. A description of critical accounting policies and related judgments and estimates that affect the preparation of our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162018.


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, 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;
uncertainty regarding changes in the international tariff regimes and their impact on the cost of the products that we sell;
weather conditions;
interest and foreign currency exchange rates;
pricing and product actions taken by competitors;

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, 20162018.


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

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

ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK


Foreign Currency Risk Management
For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risks, see “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risks” in Item 7A of Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.2018. As of the thirdfirst quarter of 2017,2019, there has been no material change in our exposure to market risks.     


ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, after evaluating the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of September 30, 2017March 31, 2019, have concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by an issuer in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the issuer’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
The Company’s management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that the Company’s disclosure controls or the Company’s internal controls will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected. We will conduct periodic evaluations of our internal controls to enhance, where necessary, our procedures and controls.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation described above that occurred during the three months ended September 30, 2017March 31, 2019 that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

(1) The remaining authorized amount to be repurchased is $117.1 million, of which $115.7 million expires in December 2019 and $1.4 million has no expiration date.
(2) In February 2019, we entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a third-party financial institution to repurchase $30.0 million of our common stock. The ASR agreement resulted in the initial delivery of 379,927 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 80% of the shares expected to repurchased in connection with the transaction. In May 2019, the remaining 59,394 shares under the ASR agreement were delivered. The average price paid per share related to the ASR agreement reflected in the table above was derived using the fair market value of the shares on the date the initial 379,927 shares were delivered. The amount that may yet be purchased under our share repurchase programs, as presented in the above table, was reduced by the entire $30.0 million payment related to the ASR agreement.
