2013 ANNUAL REPORT

BY CLOSING THE
PRODUCTIVITY GAP

Population growth is driving demand in many of the world’s 
emerging agricultural markets. Yet, crop yields in these markets  
are considerably less than in the U.S. Helping to narrow this  
spread is a significant opportunity for AGCO.

FELLOW
SHAREHOLDERS

Increasing population. Per capita income growth. Changing diets. Renewable 
energy demand. Economic expansion into China and India. I have been 
highlighting these trends for a decade and explaining how they will significantly 
increase global demand for grain and improve farm economics. 

It is an environment in which AGCO can thrive. Our  
focus on high-tech solutions for farmers feeding the 
world presents us with tremendous opportunities.  
We are moving to capitalize on these opportunities  
by delivering on our strategic initiatives. 

FINANCIAL RESULTS
2013 was a great year of accomplishment, marked by  
innovation across our business, record financial results and 
numerous other important steps to position the Company 
for the future. In 2013, sales grew approximately 8 percent 
to a record $10.8 billion and earnings per share reached 
$6.01, increasing approximately 13 percent compared to 
2012. Healthy farm economics across the globe produced 
sales growth in all of AGCO’s operating regions. Operating 
margins improved over 100 basis points to 8.4 percent, 
demonstrating substantial progress toward our 10 percent 
target. We also generated strong free cash flow after funding 
significant investments in new product development, Tier 4 
engine emission compliance, new technology in some of our 
factories and market development activity in China.

COMMITTED TO IMPROVING SHAREHOLDER RETURNS
When I joined AGCO 10 years ago, our strategy shifted to 
focus on organic growth and increased investment in our 
products and manufacturing capabilities. A decade later, 
sales have tripled, and the Company has grown earnings 
nearly five times. These improved financial results have 
translated into attractive returns for shareholders, with 
share price growth of 13 percent on a compound basis —  
a nice premium to the S&P 500. Returning cash to share-
holders is also an important component of investment  
returns. A healthy balance sheet and improved U.S. cash 
flow generation capacity enabled AGCO to launch a sizable 
share repurchase program and to increase our dividend 
during 2014 — further demonstrating our commitment  
to drive attractive shareholder returns. Going forward,  
we will take a disciplined approach to maintain our invest-
ment-grade credit rating, grow our dividend and continue 
share repurchases.

EXECUTING A SUCCESSFUL STRATEGY
Being successful requires consistent execution against 
strategic principles, which are driven by vision and mission. 
Our clear vision at AGCO is to provide high-tech solutions 
for professional farmers feeding the world. We accomplish 
this by providing agricultural equipment that increases 
the efficiency and productivity of our customers. AGCO 
is dedicated to providing farmers the expertise they need 
to be successful. To ensure AGCO continues to improve 
its competitive position and its performance, we have put 
initiatives in place to grow our sales, reduce costs and better 
utilize capital. Equally as important, we are investing in new 
products, new technology and improved distribution to expand 
our margins and produce higher returns.

POSITIONED FOR GROWTH IN EMERGING MARKETS
Significant opportunity exists for our equipment to help  
improve yields in emerging agricultural regions around the 
world. In Brazil, agriculture continues to be an important 
part of the economy and a source of future growth. Brazil 
will benefit from the world’s growing demand for both food 
and fuel, and AGCO will benefit from its leadership position 
in this market. 

There is an immense amount of land in Russia, Ukraine 
and Kazakhstan being farmed with inefficient machinery 
and inadequate storage and handling capabilities. During 
2013, we took an important step toward expanding our 
business in Russia by signing an agreement to form a  
joint venture with a leading Russian industrial company, 
Russian Machines Corporation. Our joint venture partner 
will provide access to their supply chain, improve our local 
manufacturing capabilities, help strengthen our dealer 
network and provide local market expertise. 

Farm consolidation in China has started, and demand for 
farm equipment is developing rapidly. In 2013, AGCO began 
assembling tractors in a leased facility in Changzhou, China. 
In 2014, we will open a new greenfield manufacturing 

plant that will serve the local market while also supplying 
components, sub-assemblies and complete tractors for 
our new mid-size tractor platform globally. Finally, in Africa, 
we have strengthened our position by establishing manu-
facturing capabilities in Algeria, investing in improved 
distribution and parts support, training local farmers on 
our model farm in Zambia and promoting international 
investment by sponsoring an annual Africa Summit in Berlin. 

INVESTING IN TECHNOLOGY
Innovation initiatives are focused on projects that provide 
our customers with solutions to meet their need for improved 
efficiency, productivity and profitability. Increasingly, farmers 
are operating their farms like modern factories — accelerating 
the use of precision farming and fleet-management tech-
nology to improve productivity. To lead this transformation, 
we have launched a new strategy named Fuse Technologies. 
This strategic platform is a commitment to provide customer 
solutions that optimize, coordinate and seamlessly connect 
their equipment and their farm. Fuse will connect all of 
AGCO’s technologies, including guidance, telematics, diag-
nostics, seeding and application controls, yield monitoring, 
mobile apps and grain and protein management. 

GROWING THROUGH GRAIN STORAGE  
AND PROTEIN PRODUCTION SOLUTIONS
Substantial growth opportunities exist in both the protein 
production and grain storage sectors due to inefficiencies 
in the developing markets. Significant crop losses occur 
due to spillage and degradation during handling, storage 
and transportation. Our GSI products provide handling, 
conditioning and storage solutions to help customers reduce 
these post-harvest losses. Similar growth opportunities 
exist for GSI’s protein production offering. GSI chicken and 
pork production solutions — including nutrition, health, 
housing, feeding and environmental control — provide a 
significant opportunity to help our customers advance the 
efficiency of their operations.

IMPROVING ROIC
We launched strategic initiatives aimed at improving  
each of the building blocks that drive return on invested 
capital (ROIC). For AGCO, the key to higher ROIC is improved 
operating margins. We aim to reach our 10 percent goal 
by addressing a wide range of margin improvement oppor-
tunities. These strategies include cost reduction from 
purchasing actions, factory productivity and new product 
development. In addition, sales growth achieved through 
success in emerging markets, as well as improved products 
and enhanced distribution is an important element of our 
margin improvement roadmap.

COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY
Globally, AGCO provides technologies that help farmers 
maximize yields, reduce loss and conserve the resources 
that are key to meeting the growing need for food, fuel 
and fiber. We integrate sustainability into our business by 
evolving our operations to upgrade efficiency and resource 
management, as well as foster a safe, inclusive and produc-
tive workplace. Our employees throughout the world are 
key partners in this journey. We look to them for new ideas 
to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, eliminate waste and 
create whole-farm technology solutions for our customers. 
Also, we have committed to strengthening relationships 
with preferred suppliers that support product quality, 
environmental stewardship and high labor standards. 

In closing, I would like to thank you for your investment  
in AGCO. I am also grateful to our customers, dealers and 
suppliers for their enduring relationships with us. Please 
know that we are working every day to create value. We see 
an unprecedented amount of long-term opportunity for the 
agricultural industry. Although much work remains, our 
products are making a difference to enable our customers 
to grow their businesses and help feed the world.

INVESTING IN
TECHNOLOGY AND 
NEW PRODUCTS

The farm is getting smarter. Using wireless data communications, our innovative solutions 
are delivering seamless connectivity across farm assets. We have significantly increased 
our technology investment to launch Fuse Technologies, a strategic approach to precision 
farming with the potential to enhance agricultural productivity and profitability. In addition, 
we delivered our first product fitted with a Tier 4 Final AGCO Power engine in 2013. Our 
leading AGCO Power Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR)-based technology produces 
cleaner emissions, efficient operation and uncompromised performance. 

GRAIN STORAGE  
AND MONITORING 

To save time and increase efficiency,  
AgCommand® geofence alerts farmers  
by email on a mobile device when a  
grain truck leaves the bin area.

CROP CARE AND  
NUTRIENT APPLICATION

Tools enable wireless loading of the 
planned application maps, streamlining 
task and file management.

DEALER/DECISION SUPPORT

Connecting farmers with their dealers and 
preferred service providers, offering the  
freedom and convenience to continue  
working with trusted business partners.

CROP HARVESTING

Pre-planned tasks can be sent wirelessly to 
the combine, then a yield map is sent back 
to the office to streamline management.

FARM OFFICE

Our open approach means flexibility to use 
the Farm Management Information Software 
(FMIS) of the farmer's choice, for total farm 
management and streamlined logistics.

TILLAGE AND FIELD PREP

Auto-Till™ monitors information about 
implement depth, allowing the operator to 
ensure the implement is leveled correctly  
to ensure optimal performance.

MOBILE

In the office, in the field or on the go, Fuse 
Technologies keeps the operation running 
smoothly, allowing farmers to check the  
status of a machine remotely.

PLANTING 

Our guidance systems ensure the planter and 
drill apply the seed in the right place and at 
optimal row spacing to minimize inputs and 
missed field areas.

14   AGCO 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

Fuse Technologies provides seamless connectivity across a farm enterprise and through 
every phase of the crop cycle. An open approach enables farmers to connect with their 
third-party service providers and farm management information system platforms. This 
ensures mobile and stationary equipment is in the right place at the right time and 
running at optimum efficiency.

GROWING
THE GSI PLATFORM

Turning loss into gain – that’s the GSI opportunity. GSI handling, conditioning, 
storage and protein production solutions help grain producers reduce post-harvest 
loss and protein producers better manage their business. Storage and handling 
equipment is required in every phase of the grain processing cycle. This means 
storage capabilities in excess of 100 percent of harvest capacity are frequently 
necessary. Initiatives are underway around the world to help customers ensure 
that the grain they grow gets to market.

INCREASED  
STORAGE  
CAPACITY

Brazil is a leading global grain producer that has made significant 
strides in production, but its post-harvest handling, conditioning 
and storage have not kept pace. Today, Brazil has the capacity  
to store only 75 percent of its harvest. To address this challenge, 
the Brazilian government has introduced a $12 billion, multi-year 
financing program to promote increased investment in grain 
storage. Even with this support, it is estimated that the storage 
gap may require up to 10 years to close.

GREATER  
MARKET  
FLEXIBILITY 

Because of GSI’s exceptional grain storage solutions, farmers are 
better able to control the price at which they sell their crops. Proper 
storage means that farmers can wait for optimal market conditions 
before selling their grain. Optimal market conditions translate into 
optimal profitability for farmers, which enables them to reinvest 
more in their business.

OPTIMIZED  
PROTEIN  
PROCESSING

Swine and poultry production practices — including genetics,  
nutrition, health, housing, feeding and environmental control —  
vary around the world. U.S. productivity, for example, exceeds that 
of China by more than 50 percent. Feed handling and storage is 
a factor. As swine and poultry production in developing markets 
consolidates, GSI can provide modernized equipment and practices 
to help suboptimal operations increase their productivity.

16   AGCO 2013 ANNUAL REPORT

IMPROVING 
DISTRIBUTION

Reach further. Stay closer. Our network of more than 3,100 independent 
dealers and distributors ensures that our global reach extends around the 
world and provides a local link to our customers. In addition to making our 
products available, dealers provide critical support for after-market parts  
and service. During 2013, we continued to strengthen our dealer network.

In North America, we are focused on streamlining and 
consolidating dealerships around a distribution strategy for 
each local selling area. Today, our North American distri-
bution is two-pronged. The first prong is our legacy Massey 
Ferguson dealerships, which offer a full line of wheeled 
tractor, harvesting, seeding and tillage products that serve 
customers ranging from small, lifestyle farmers to large 
corporate enterprises. The other prong is our Challenger 
dealerships that target large professional farming operations. 
The Challenger network offers sprayers, tracked and wheeled 
tractors, harvesting, seeding and tillage products primarily 
through the Caterpillar dealer network. 

Retail finance solutions are an important part of our 
customer support proposition. AGCO Finance offers loan 
and lease financing to farmers for equipment purchases. 
In 2013, we extended our finance services into Central 
Europe, initially to customers in the Czech Republic, 
Slovakia, Romania and Bulgaria. Our plans call for  
extending finance solutions throughout the region in  
the future, including the Baltic and Balkan countries.

REDUCING COSTS AND
OPTIMIZING  
WORKING CAPITAL
Higher margins. Higher returns. High priority. We’re committed to achieving 
operating margin growth in order to drive higher returns on invested capital for 
our shareholders. Top-line sales growth — primarily achieved through emerging 
market opportunities and improved products and distribution — is one factor 
in our margin equation. The other involves a relentless focus on cost reduction 
and improved productivity, which we are realizing on numerous fronts.

SUPPLY CHAIN EXCELLENCE

With a material spend that comprises approximately 75 percent of 
sales, supply chain improvements can make a significant impact on 
cost structures. Our Global Purchasing Excellence program, which 
moved the purchasing function from the factory level to a global 
commodities team, is successfully making better-informed buying 
decisions at lower costs. Another initiative that involves best-country 
sourcing is gaining traction and targets a 15 to 20 percent cost 
savings on components and parts sourced from suppliers around 
the world.

MANUFACTURING OPTIMIZATION

The AGCO Production System (APS) is designed to 
help reduce delivery lead times and costs, while 
improving product quality. As part of APS, we have 
completed the rollout of Six Sigma and Lean in our 
manufacturing facilities. In addition, APS enables 
the sharing of best practices across our sites and 
engages employees in process improvements.

NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

In 2014, our new mid-range tractor platform will begin 
to deliver a new family of mid-sized tractors based on  
a modular, more flexible manufacturing platform. This 
approach leverages common architecture; makes more 
effective use of our R&D investment; requires fewer parts; 
reduces material costs; and ultimately leads to better 
brand differentiation. For our customers, this approach 
delivers better value through more consistent quality and 
technological innovation. With initial manufacturing sites 
in place, this family of products will roll out over a three-
year period. Longer term, we plan to incorporate this 
approach across additional product lines.

FACILITY INVESTMENTS

Our growth investments include a three-year expansion of our tractor  
and sprayer assembly facility in Jackson, Minnesota, to increase capacity 
by 20 percent and improve process efficiency. In Hesston, Kansas, we 
completed a project that provides the most advanced coating application 
center in the North American agricultural machine industry. 

Our plant in Santa Rosa, Brazil, also received a new painting system 
based on nanotechnology, and we opened a new factory in Argentina, 
where we will develop a base of local suppliers, dealers and AGCO staff 
during the next five years. Finally, our Massey Ferguson brand opened a 
dedicated cab production facility in Beauvais, France, which increases 
production space by 25 percent and houses a sales training center. Each 
of these investments underscores our commitment to boost productivity 
and efficiency through improved processes and distribution.

and their effects, margin growth, 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 financial 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 eco-
nomic conditions. Our success depends on the introduction 
of new products, which requires substantial expenditures 
and may not be well received in the marketplace. 

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

of the retail sales of our products is financed by our retail 
finance joint ventures with Rabobank, and any difficulty  
on Rabobank’s part to fund the venture would adversely 
impact sales if our customers would be required to utilize 
other retail financing providers. 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 efficiently 
manufacture and sell products.

A majority of our sales and manufacturing takes place 
outside 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 govern-
mental 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. 

Most of our sales depend on the retail customers’ obtaining 
financing, and any disruption in their ability to obtain 
financing, whether due to economic downturns or otherwise, 
will result in the sale of fewer products by us. A large portion 

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

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