Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On July 28, 2011, AGCO Corporation issued a press release reporting its financial results for the
second quarter ended June 30, 2011. 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, net income and earnings per share as computed under GAAP for the applicable
period. AGCO considers operating income, net income and earnings per share to be the most
comparable GAAP financial measures to the non-GAAP financial measures that AGCO provides, and AGCO
has included, as a part of the press release, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures
to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
AGCO uses income from operations, net income and earnings per share amounts that have been adjusted
to exclude restructuring and other infrequent (income) expenses. Restructuring and other
infrequent (income) expenses occur regularly in AGCO’s business, but vary in size and frequency.
AGCO believes that the adjusted amounts provide management and investors useful information because
the expenses that are excluded relate to events that resulted in a significant impact during the
quarter, but will recur only in varied amounts and with unpredictable frequency.
AGCO also provides net sales amounts that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of currency
translation. AGCO believes that the adjusted amounts provide useful information to management and
investors to better analyze the causes of changes in sales between periods.
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.
