Accounts Receivable Sales Agreements [Abstract]

Accounts Receivable Sales Agreements

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS

    The Company has accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America, Europe and Brazil to its U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.2 billion and $1.3 billion, respectively.

    Under the terms of the accounts receivable sales agreements in North America, Europe and Brazil, the Company pays an annual 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 accounts receivable sales agreements, calculated based upon LIBOR plus a margin on any non-interest bearing accounts receivable outstanding and sold under the accounts receivable sales agreements. Following the phase out of LIBOR-denominated rates, the Company expects this funding to be based upon the interest rate charged by Rabobank to its affiliate, which, in turn, such affiliate then lends to the AGCO Finance entities plus an agreed-upon margin. These fees are 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 sales occur and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. The Company accounts for the receivable sales agreements as off-balance sheet transactions.

    In addition, the Company sells certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the cash received from these arrangements was approximately $181.2 million and $215.4 million, respectively.

    Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable sales agreements discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $7.9 million and $4.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

    The Company’s finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing directly to the Company’s dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are without recourse to the Company. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, these finance joint ventures had approximately $87.8 million and $82.1 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. The Company accounts for these arrangements as off-balance sheet transactions.
