2014 ANNUAL REPORT

Fellow Shareholders

Martin Richenhagen —  
Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer

Like our farmers and producers, 
we’re focused on making every 
day at AGCO a productive day. 
In 2014, this involved innovating  
new technologies, forging 
stronger relationships, extending 
our global reach and investing 
in what we believe is a future 
filled with opportunity.

the full course of recorded history. To support this effort, 

AGCO must be at its best.

2014 Performance

The past year was a challenging year for our industry and 

AGCO due to weakened market demand. The record grain 

harvest in the U.S., combined with healthy crop production 

across Western Europe and Brazil, resulted in increased 

grain inventories, which pressured soft commodity prices. 

Deteriorating farm economics negatively impacted farmer 

sentiment, and we experienced softer industry equipment 

demand in all major markets. 

We took aggressive actions to manage our working capital 

and align our cost structure with weaker market conditions. 

Our disciplined inventory reduction program resulted in year- 

end inventories below 2013 levels, on a constant currency 

basis, despite falling demand. These and other actions 

helped make AGCO a leaner, more focused company better 

positioned for leadership in our competitive industry. 

Over the past decades, we have worked to have the right 

products and the right technology to compete effectively in 

today’s dynamic marketplace. To support this commitment, 

we have put initiatives in place to grow our sales, improve 

distribution and reduce expenses in order to enhance 

margins and produce higher returns on invested capital. 

Precision Farming Innovation

Increasingly, farmers are operating their farms like modern 

factories as they accelerate the use of precision farming 

and fleet management technology to improve productivity. 

Consequently, adoption rates for our Fuse® Technologies 

products have increased dramatically over the last 18 months. 

Our customers view Fuse guidance and telemetry as top-of- 

the-line technology, and they will expect AGCO to lead the 

way to further enhance these established technologies. 

They also will expect us to deliver new technology solutions 

that help them manage their operations. From implement 

control to monitoring and improved mobility, AGCO plans

An increasing global population is driving food demand, 

much of which is for protein. As incomes rise in emerging 

markets, so too does meat consumption. This drives more 

demand for grain production in the form of feedstock in 

addition to grain for food.

(2)  After tax. 
(3)  The restructuring and other infrequent expenses recorded during 2014 related primarily to severance and other related costs associated with the rationalization of the Company’s 

operations in the United States, Brazil, Argentina, Europe and China. 

(4)  During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded a non-cash tax gain associated with the recognition of certain U.S. deferred tax assets from the reversal of its U.S. deferred 

tax valuation allowance and the recognition of certain U.S. research and development tax credits.

(5)  During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company recorded an impairment charge of approximately $22.4 million with respect to goodwill and certain other identifiable intangible 

assets associated with the Company’s Chinese harvesting business.

(6)  During 2011, the Company recorded a tax benefit of approximately $149.3 million and acquisition expenses of approximately $5.8 million associated with the GSI acquisition.

The above notes are more fully described in the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to its Consolidated Financial Statement, which are included in the
