FoCuS  
ON GROWTH

06  AGCO 2016 AnnuAl RepoRt

Fellow shareholders, AGCo is dedicated 
to generating long-term shareholder 
value. over the past three years, market 
conditions in our industry have weakened 
significantly providing a strong test of our 
ability to operate successfully throughout 
the business cycle. 

in a year of challenging farm fundamentals 
and weak industry demand, i am pleased 
to tell you that 2016 was a year of 
significant progress on many fronts 
for AGCO. We met our financial goals, 
launched important new products, 
completed a strategic acquisition, 
expanded our Fuse technology capabilities, 
and continued to improve our production 
facilities. As you will read in the coming 
pages, our success is achieved through 
our operational excellence, project-
execution capabilities, and the application 
of new technologies, supported by strong 
financial flexibility, investment discipline, 
and a world-class workforce. All of this 
lets AGCo do its part to meet the global 
challenge of food security, and support 
farmers and our global partners in 
profitable, sustainable food production, 
both now and in the future.

2016 FinAnCiAl ReCAp
our industry and AGCo (the “Company”) experienced soft market 
demand last year. A record grain harvest in the u.S. combined 
with healthy crop production across europe and Brazil resulted 
in increased grain inventories and lower soft commodity prices. 
deteriorating farm economics negatively impacted farmer 
sentiment, and we experienced softer industry equipment 
demand in all major markets. we responded by cutting 
production and closely managing our Company and dealer 
inventories. AGCO’s 2016 results reflect the adverse impact 
of operating in the lower end of the agricultural equipment  
cycle, particularly in north and South America.

AGCO’s 2016 net sales were $7.4 billion, relatively flat compared 
to 2015 levels. Adjusted net income for 2016 was $2.47 per 
share, excluding restructuring expenses of $0.12 per share and 
a non-cash deferred income tax adjustment of $0.39 per share. 
We generated approximately $169 million in free cash flow  
after funding significant investments in new products and 
other long-term profitability improvement initiatives. Our free 
cash flow was largely used to support share repurchases 
of approximately $213 million in 2016.

StRAteGy updAte
At AGCo, we are focused on consistent execution against 
strategic principles that are driven by our vision and mission.  
our clear vision at AGCo is to provide high-tech solutions for 
professional farmers feeding the world. we accomplish this by 
supplying agricultural equipment that increases the efficiency 
and productivity of our customers. AGCo’s mission, with the 
shareholder in mind, is to achieve profitable growth through 
superior customer service, innovation, quality, and commitment. 

For more than two decades, AGCo has been working to  
provide the right products and the right technology to compete 
effectively in our dynamic marketplace. we will continue 
to invest in new products, new technology, and improved 
distribution in order to expand our margins and produce  
higher returns on our invested capital. during the downturn  
we are working diligently on our cost reduction strategies 
targeted at purchasing actions, factory productivity,  
and new product development.

please see reconciliation of non-GAAp measures on page 20.

ChAiRMAn, pReSident And ChieF eXeCutive oFFiCeR

Sales growth is another important element of our margin 
improvement roadmap. AGCo is focused on growing our 
business in the markets we currently serve and expanding into 
the developing areas of eastern and Central europe, China, and 
Africa. A key sales-growth initiative is our investment in product 
development. A great example of this is the Fendt 1000 tractor 
that launched during 2016. it delivers over 500 horsepower  
on an impressive conventional chassis, making it very efficient  
and more flexible to perform a wider variety of operations. 

the two key components of our Fuse program are  
Fuse technologies and Fuse Connected Services. Fuse 
technologies is the portfolio of technology tools that are the 
foundation of the optimized farm, and we have solutions that 
address all elements of improving farm productivity and reducing 
farm waste. Fuse Connected Services builds on this by using 
data-transfer technologies and analytic insights combined with 
dealer capabilities to help customers optimize their fleet and 
farm, and maximize up-time throughout the year.

high horsepower tractors for the professional producer  
segment have always been a major strength and focus for  
AGCo. the launch of the Fendt 1000 marks an important 
beginning of our premium tractor platform consolidation.  
this new tractor range also introduced our Fendt technology  
for the north American market under the Challenger brand.  
The Challenger version of this tractor was designed specifically 
to meet north American row width standards, providing us with  
a new opportunity to increase our sales of premium tractors  
in north America.

this past year was the biggest yet for our Fuse initiative. Along 
with new product introductions, we announced development 
partnerships with agricultural technology companies Aglytix 
and Farmobile to deliver farm-optimization services to AGCo 
customers. these partnerships will enable growers to reduce 
waste, increase yield, and improve profitability through 
actionable insights for their fleet, in their fields and across their 
farms. Fuse also continued to receive awards as the recipient 
of two 2016 technology innovator Awards by Corporate Vision 
magazine, including “Most innovative Agricultural platform.” 

our research and development also includes investments  
in Fuse, AGCo’s approach to precision agriculture that optimizes 
the farm by providing improved access to farm data and better 
connections to trusted service providers. these improvements 
allow farmers to make more informed business decisions, 
reduce input costs, and improve yields, and profitability. 

Another important growth driver for AGCo is our GSi family of 
products and services. in our grain handling business, we are 
a global leader in storing, moving, and drying grains. we offer 
world-class solutions for on-farm storage and commercial 
applications, including river and rail terminals and sea ports. 
the acquisition of Cimbria in September brought us the leading 
position in the global seed-processing equipment market 
and together, GSi and Cimbria combine to extend our 
global leadership in grain handling. 

while the low commodity prices have hurt demand for our  
grain handling products in 2016, demand has increased for  
our global animal protein businesses. For swine, poultry, and  
egg producers, we provide housing, climate control, feeding,  
and watering solutions. we are a global leader across these 
categories, and our recent entrance into the commercial egg 
market provides us significant growth opportunities. We are 
bringing new, best-in-class technologies for improving animal 
welfare, including being a leading provider of cage-free  
systems for commercial egg producers in north America.

Martin Richenhagen, Ceo, where he  
discusses AGCo’s successful year:

CApitAl AlloCAtion
we intend to continue investing in our business to  
improve efficiency and maintain the pace of our new  
product introductions. over the last decade, we have built  
a solid capital structure and keeping our investment grade  
credit rating is a priority. AGCo will remain opportunistic  
with regards to acquisitions in order to add new products  
and expand our geographic reach. 

our healthy balance sheet and strong cash generation  
has enabled us to return cash to shareholders and these 
distributions will remain an important component of our 
long-term capital allocation plan. over the past three years,  
we executed share repurchases of $1 billion which reduced 
our share count by approximately 20 percent. our Board 
of directors has approved a new $300 million repurchase 
program which expires in december 2019 and is expected  
to be funded with operating cash flow. 

in summary, we are taking aggressive actions to align our  
costs and working capital with the weaker market demand  
that we are facing today. however, our long-term view remains 
optimistic for our industry and for AGCo, and our strategy is 
aimed at growing our business and improving the returns for  
our shareholders as we continue to provide solutions that  
will help engineer global food security. 

the AGCo team – approximately 20,000 strong – is energized 
and committed, and i am deeply appreciative of all their talent, 
efforts, and determination. Collectively, we are grateful for 
our customers, dealers, and partners who ultimately drive 
our success. And finally, we are thankful to our shareholders 
for your continued confidence across the business cycle.  
we look forward to working with all of you for many 
prosperous years ahead.

POST-HARVEST  
LOSSES

agco’s commitment to post-harvest  
loss reduction is at the core of 
investments in its gsi business of 
cutting-edge, scalable technologies 
for grain and perishables storage. 

the 2016 acquisition of Cimbria, a leading 
manufacturer of products and solutions for 
the processing, handling, and storage of seed 
and grain, has added global leadership in the 
seed-handling industry as well as new grain 
markets to the AGCo portfolio. this supports 
better inputs for farmers and helps reduce 
post-harvest losses.

with its strong GSi family of brands, which 
include grain handling and seed-processing, 
as well as poultry, egg, and swine production, 
AGCo is well positioned to meet future shifts 
in global dietary demands.

RESPONSibLy MEETiNG THE CHALLENGE 
OF PROTEiN dEMANd

Global demand for high quality protein is increasing due to an 
expanding middle class and improving animal welfare is becoming 
more critical. through GSi’s animal protein production brands, 
we are meeting these challenges by providing the most efficient 
animal production systems. As a leader in commercial egg 
systems, GSi offers one of the most comprehensive global 
portfolios for commercial egg production. in europe and north 
America, GSi is a leader in enriched and cage-free systems and  
will continue to lead the industry with its launch of next generation

to product innovation for developing leading products for the 
commercial egg production market worldwide.

STORAGE SOLuTiONS

Food storage systems can be a critical way of boosting farm 
productivity and food security in Africa, where significant losses 
occur annually due to inadequate post-harvest infrastructure.

A promising innovation is a village-level, solar-powered cold 
storage for perishables. this will allow smallholder farmers to 
reduce post-harvest losses and improve their market access 
by extending the shelf life of perishables until they can be sold  
at a fair price.

FoRwaRD-looking statEMEnts

this annual report includes forward-looking statements, 
including the statements in the Chairman’s Message and other 
statements in this report regarding market demand, strategic 
initiatives, commitments 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 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 economic 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.

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 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 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 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.
