Basis of Presentation

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. 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, 2023. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in order to conform to the current period presentation.

    The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Turkey that distributes agricultural equipment and replacement parts. On the basis of available data related to inflation indices and as a result of the devaluation of the Turkish lira relative to the United States dollar, the Turkish economy was determined to be highly inflationary during 2022. A highly inflationary economy is one where the cumulative inflation rate for the three years preceding the beginning of the reporting period, including interim reporting periods, is in excess of 100 percent. For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the United States dollar is the functional currency. Remeasurement adjustments for financial statements in highly inflationary economies and other transactional exchange gains and losses are reported in "Other expense, net" within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended and as of March 31, 2024, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Turkey had net sales of approximately $156.3 million and total assets of approximately 7.3 billion Turkish lira (or approximately $225.7 million). The monetary assets and liabilities denominated in the Turkish lira were approximately 6.5 billion Turkish lira (or approximately $201.5 million) and approximately 5.6 billion Turkish lira (or approximately $172.3 million), respectively, as of March 31, 2024. The monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured into United States dollar based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2024.

    The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Argentina that assembles and distributes agricultural equipment and replacement parts. In recent years, the Argentine government has substantially limited the ability of companies to transfer funds out of Argentina. As a consequence of these limitations, the spread between the official government exchange rate and the exchange rates resulting from certain capital market operations, usually effected to obtain United States dollars, has broadened significantly. Argentina's economy was determined to be highly inflationary during 2018. In December 2023, the central bank of Argentina adjusted the official foreign currency exchange rate for the Argentine peso, significantly devaluing the currency relative to the United States dollar. For the three months ended and as of March 31, 2024, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Argentina had net sales of approximately $44.2 million and total assets of approximately 220.8 billion pesos (or approximately $265.0 million). The monetary assets of the Company's operations in Argentina denominated in pesos at the official government rate were approximately 82.1 billion pesos (or approximately $98.5 million), inclusive of approximately 33.4 billion pesos (or approximately $40.1 million) in cash and cash equivalents, as of March 31, 2024. The monetary liabilities of the Company's operations in Argentina denominated in pesos at the official government rate were approximately 16.8 billion pesos (or approximately $20.2 million) as of March 31, 2024. The monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured into United States dollar based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2024. The Company's finance joint venture in Argentina, AGCO Capital Argentina S.A. ("AGCO Capital"), had net monetary assets denominated in pesos at the official government rate of approximately 11.8 billion (or approximately $14.1 million) as of March 31, 2024, of which a majority is cash and cash equivalents. All gains and losses resulting from AGCO Capital's remeasurement of its monetary assets and liabilities are reported as part of AGCO Capital's net income, our share of which is included in “Equity in net earnings of affiliates” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years

The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively.
