Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

    The condensed consolidated financial statements of AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “AGCO”) included herein have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature, necessary to present fairly the Company’s financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows at the dates and for the periods presented. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

    The Company cannot predict the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, including any related impacts on the global economic and political environments, market demand for its products, supply chain disruptions, possible workforce unavailability, exchange rate and commodity prices and availability of financing, and their impact to the Company’s net sales, production volumes, costs and overall financial conditions.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

    During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company adopted the following pronouncements, which did not have a material impact to the Company’s results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.

•ASU 2019-12 – “Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes” was adopted as of January 1, 2021.

•ASU 2021-01 – “Reference Rate Reform: Scope” was adopted as of January 1, 2021.

New Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted

    In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326):Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments”, which requires measurement and recognition of expected versus incurred credit losses for financial assets. In November 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-10, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326), Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815), and Leases (Topic 842): Effective Dates,” which delays the effective date of ASU 2016-13 for smaller reporting companies and other non-SEC reporting entities. This applies to the Company’s equity method finance joint ventures, who are now required to adopt ASU 2016-13 for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022 and interim periods within those annual periods. The standard, and its subsequent modification, will likely impact the results of operations and financial condition of the Company’s finance joint ventures. Therefore, adoption of the standard by the Company’s finance joint ventures likely will impact the Company’s “Investment in affiliates” and “Equity in net earnings of affiliates.” The Company’s finance joint ventures currently are evaluating the impact of ASU 2016-13 to their results of operations and financial condition.
