Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 31, 2025, AGCO Corporation (“AGCO” or the “Company”) issued a press release reporting its financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
In the press release, AGCO uses non-GAAP financial measures. For purposes of SEC Regulation G, a “non-GAAP financial measure” is a numerical measure of a registrant’s historical or future performance, financial position or cash flows that excludes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of excluding amounts, that are included in the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP in the statement of income, balance sheet or statement of cash flows of the issuer; or includes amounts, or is subject to adjustments that have the effect of including amounts, that are excluded from the most directly comparable measure so calculated and presented. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as alternatives to operating income (loss), operating margin, net income (loss) attributable to AGCO, net income (loss) per share attributable to AGCO, cash flows from operating activities and net sales as computed under GAAP for the applicable period. AGCO has included, as part of the press release, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. AGCO does not provide a quantitative reconciliation of forward-looking, non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because it is difficult to reliably predict or estimate the relevant components without unreasonable effort due to future uncertainties that may potentially have a significant impact on such calculations and providing them may imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or potentially misleading.
AGCO provides income (loss) from operations, operating margin, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share amounts that have been adjusted to exclude restructuring and business optimization expenses, amortization expense related to intangible assets acquired as part of the Company's acquisition of PTx Trimble and impairment charges. Restructuring expenses occur regularly in AGCO’s business, but vary in size and frequency. Business optimization expenses primarily relate to professional services costs incurred as part of the restructuring program aimed at reducing structural costs, enhancing global efficiencies by changing the Company’s operating model for certain corporate and back-office functions. Amortization expense related to the PTx Trimble acquired intangibles is impacted by the valuation and size of the acquisition. Impairment charges vary in size and frequency. AGCO believes these adjustments provide management and investors with greater visibility to the underlying performance of AGCO’s recurring core business operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, AGCO recorded transaction costs related to the Company’s formation of the PTx Trimble joint venture and the Company’s divestiture of the majority of its Grain & Protein (“G&P”) business. AGCO recorded a loss on sale of business during the three and six months June 30, 2025 related to the finalization of the preliminary working capital and other adjustments related to the divestiture of the majority of the Company's G&P business. Additionally, AGCO has recorded discrete tax items related to a net tax benefit resulting from a legal entity reorganization during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025. AGCO has provided income from operations, operating margin, net income and net income per share amounts that have been adjusted to exclude these restructuring and business optimization expenses, amortization of PTx Trimble acquired intangible assets, impairment charges, transaction-related costs, loss on sale of business and discrete tax items. Adjusted operating margin is defined as the ratio of adjusted income from operations divided by net sales. During the three months and six months ended June 30, 2024, AGCO recorded transaction costs related to the Company's formation of the PTx Trimble joint venture and the divestiture of the majority of the Company's G&P business. Additionally, as of June 30, 2024, the Company classified its G&P business as held for sale and recorded a loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. AGCO has provided income (loss) from operations, operating margin, net income (loss) and net income (loss) per share amounts that have been adjusted to exclude these restructuring and business optimization expenses, amortization of PTx Trimble acquired intangibles, impairment charges,
transaction-related costs and loss on sale of business. AGCO believes that the adjusted amounts during the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 provide management and investors useful information as these items that are excluded relate to events that resulted in a significant impact during these quarters and may not be expected to recur in the future.
AGCO further provides net sales amounts that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of currency translation and a recent acquisition. The net sales for the three months ended June 30, 2025 were not adjusted to exclude a recent acquisition as the acquisition occurred in the second quarter of 2024. AGCO believes that the adjusted amounts provide management and investors useful information to better analyze the causes of changes between periods.
AGCO’s management historically has focused on the generation of cash flow in order to reduce indebtedness and for other corporate purposes. Management uses free cash flow to assess its performance in this area. AGCO believes that free cash flow provides a meaningful measure to investors because, unlike cash flow from operations, it includes the impact of capital expenditures, and therefore, provides a more complete picture of cash generation.
The information in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing of AGCO under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
