AGCO’S GLOBAL PRESENCE

Your Agriculture Company 03

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
China is a huge user of small and mid-size low technology agricultural tractors, most being locally produced. AGCO is taking another 
major step to more actively participate in China with a new manufacturing plant, currently under construction. In addition to building 
tractors for the local market, the new plant will supply components and sub-assemblies globally for our new mid-size tractor platform.  

Investing in Technology
As a pure-play agriculture company, AGCO’s research and development is focused entirely on agricultural innovations. From hybrid 
combine harvesters to telemetry-based tracking systems, AGCO provides farmers worldwide with the precision technology they need 
to satisfy the growing demand for food and fuel.  

To counter rising input costs, our machines are performing better, for longer and with greater reliability than ever before. These 
successes are supported by AGCO’s new technology strategy, strengthening the link between growers and their trusted AGCO 
equipment and service providers.

AGCO operates within an industry where real-time asset management and data monitoring are crucial. We are committed to the 
development of advanced software and systems that will help customers better understand, control and manage their AGCO machines 
and their businesses. To feed the world in the future, AGCO recognizes that precision farming technologies are essential to reducing 
costs and improving effi ciencies and results. We are accelerating the introduction of such technologies across our product offerings.

Focused on Margin Improvement
As part of AGCO’s strategic planning, we remain focused on improving return on invested capital. The key to this is growing our 
operating margins towards a long-term target of 10%. Actions being pursued include reducing purchased material costs, increasing 
factory productivity and accelerating the development of new higher margin products. Sales growth is also an important element 
of margin improvement, to be achieved by doing more business in emerging markets, building even better products and improving 
distribution and customer support.  

Capital Allocation
With a strong fi nancial position and a positive outlook, AGCO initiated the return of cash to shareholders through two avenues. The 
fi rst came in July 2012 with a share repurchase plan, the primary purpose being to limit dilution resulting from our equity incentive 
plans. In 2012, we repurchased approximately $18 million of AGCO stock. Another important step followed in January 2013 when 
we announced a quarterly dividend of $0.10 starting on March 15, 2013. 

Corporate Stewardship
AGCO is committed to achieving sustainable and profi table growth by offering innovative high quality products supported by superior 
customer service. Corporate sustainability goals have been established for each stage in our products’ lifecycle. Conserving resources 
and increasing energy effi ciency is a central focus for our manufacturing plants. We have conducted operational assessments in order 
to formulate investments aimed at reducing the consumption of energy. This level of environmental effi ciency also drives AGCO’s quest 
to enhance our machines’ fuel effi ciency and reduce emissions. We continue to invest in R&D and product development in order to 
help farmers increase agricultural output while reducing their environmental footprint. In addition, we aim to promote excellence in our 
employees through open communication, diversity, training and development. 

AGCO’s Future Priorities
Opportunities exist for both 2013 and the longer term. Although considerable work lies ahead, our products are generating excitement 
throughout the agricultural industry. Our strategic plan includes initiatives to grow sales and boost margins. We are making investments 
to develop, upgrade and streamline our product ranges. We are seeking to take advantage of important opportunities in developing 
markets while continuing to grow our recently acquired businesses. Our sound fi nancial position allows us to make the signifi cant 
investments necessary to execute our ambitious plans, underpinning and strengthening AGCO’s Focus Forward.

Finally, I want to thank our customers and dealers for their business and their support, our shareholders for their confi dence in our 
Company, and our 20,000 employees worldwide for their dedication. It is AGCO’s people who are turning our vision into reality 
everywhere we do business, every day.

Martin Richenhagen
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Offi cer

Fellow Shareholders,

As the world looks for ways to feed another two billion people over the coming decades, AGCO’s goal of providing high-tech solutions 
to farmers feeding the world presents us with tremendous opportunities. 2012 was one of great accomplishment for AGCO, despite a 
challenging year globally with diffi cult weather, turbulent economies and volatile fi nancial markets. We delivered record fi nancial results 
while increasing productivity, improving our product offering and expanding our developing market capabilities. All are highly positive 
achievements that fuel our ambitions and focus our energies. 

Financial results
Since becoming President and CEO in 2004, I have focused on increasing our profi tability, strengthening our balance sheet and growing 
our global reach. Our 2012 fi nancial results refl ect strong progress in all three areas. AGCO’s sales reached nearly $10 billion in 2012, 
growing over 13% compared to 2011.  Adjusted earnings per share rose to $5.25 compared to $4.48 in 2011.  

Near record farm income in the U.S. boosted demand for high-horsepower equipment. AGCO leveraged the markets’ strength and, 
helped by our new GSI business, achieved a sales increase in North America of 46% compared to 2011 levels. AGCO’s Europe/Africa/
Middle East sales grew approximately 12% on a constant currency basis compared to 2011. In South America, positive farm incomes 
and favorable fi nancing programs produced strong industry demand, helping generate net sales of nearly $1.9 billion. During 2012, we 
also increased our investments in research and development, factory productivity and new market development while generating over 
$325 million in free cash fl ow.

Improved Production Capabilities
Our fi nancial strength has allowed us to make important investments in manufacturing plants around the world. Last September, a new 
Fendt tractor assembly facility went on-line in Germany, refl ecting our optimism about the potential for higher horsepower equipment 
and our Fendt brand. 

Earlier in the year, production of Challenger and Massey Ferguson high-horsepower wheeled tractors commenced at our newly 
expanded Jackson, Minnesota facility, accompanied by the opening of the new state-of-the-art IntivitySM Visitor Center. 

Growth in Developing Markets
AGCO made great strides in strengthening its position in Africa where there is a pressing need to increase food production. Our 
Massey Ferguson brand has over 50 years of experience in Africa, forging alliances with governments, foreign investors and donors 
to improve the continent’s agricultural practices. In January, we hosted our inaugural Africa Summit followed in March 2012, by the 
opening of our fi rst model farm in Zambia for training local farmers and our dealers. In August 2012, a joint venture was formed in 
Algeria for the production of Massey Ferguson branded tractors for sale into the local market. AGCO’s sales in Africa were up over 
39% in 2012 on a constant currency basis compared to the previous year.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

SELECTED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(in millions, except per share amounts and employees)

This annual report includes forward-looking statements, including 
the statements in the Chairman’s Message and other statements 
herein regarding market demand, farm productivity, production 
levels, strategic initiatives and their effects, and general economic 
conditions.  These statements are subject to risks that could cause 
actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the 
statements, including:

Our fi nancial results depend entirely upon the agricultural industry, 
and factors that adversely affect the agricultural industry generally, 
including declines in the general economy, increases in farm input 
costs, lower commodity prices and changes in the availability of 
credit for our retail customers, will adversely affect us.  

The poor performance of the general economy has adversely 
impacted our sales and may continue to have an adverse impact on 
our sales in the future, the extent of which we are unable to predict, 
and there can be no assurance that our results will not continue to 
be affected by the weakness in global economic conditions.

Our success depends on the introduction of new products, which 
requires substantial expenditures and may not be well received in 
the market place.

We face signifi cant competition and, if we are unable to compete 
successfully against other agricultural equipment manufacturers, 
we would lose customers and our revenues and profi tability 
would decline.

Most of our sales depend on the retail customers’ obtaining 
fi nancing, and any disruption in their ability to obtain fi nancing, 
whether due to the current economic downturn or otherwise, will 
result in the sale of fewer products by us.  A large portion of the 
retail sales of our products are fi nanced by our retail fi nance joint 
ventures with Rabobank, and any diffi culty on Rabobank’s part to 
fund the venture would adversely impact sales if our customers 
would be required to utilize other retail fi nancing providers.

The collectability of receivables that are created from our sales, 
as well as from fi nancing obtained by our customers through our 
retail fi nancing joint ventures, is critical to our business.

We depend on suppliers for raw materials, components and 
parts for our products, and any failure by our suppliers to provide 
products as needed, or by us to promptly address supplier 
issues, will adversely impact our ability to timely and effi ciently 
manufacture and sell products.

A majority of our sales and manufacturing take place outside 
of the United States, and, as a result, we are exposed to risks 
related to foreign laws, taxes, economic conditions, labor supply 
and relations, political conditions and governmental policies.  
These risks may delay or reduce our realization of value from our 
international operations.

Volatility with respect to currency exchange rates and interest 
rates can adversely affect our reported results of operations and 
the competitiveness of our products.

We are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations, 
and our compliance with, or our failure to comply with, existing 
or future laws and regulations could delay production of our 
products or otherwise adversely affect our business.

We have signifi cant pension obligations with respect to our 
employees, and our available cash fl ow may be adversely affected 
in the event that payments became due under any pension plans 
that are unfunded or underfunded.  Declines in the market value 
of the securities used to fund these obligations will result in 
increased pension expense in future periods.

We are subject to raw material price fl uctuations, which can 
adversely affect our manufacturing costs.

In connection with our outstanding indebtedness, we are subject 
to certain restrictive covenants and payment obligations that may 
adversely affect our ability to operate and expand our business.

We disclaim any obligation to update forward-looking statements 
except as required by law.
