Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.

On February 7, 2023, AGCO Corporation (“AGCO”) issued a press release reporting its financial results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2022. 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, net income per share, 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 provides income from operations, net income and net income per share amounts that have been adjusted to exclude restructuring expenses. Restructuring expenses occur regularly in AGCO’s business, but vary in size and frequency. In addition, during 2022, AGCO recorded certain asset impairment charges related to the fair value of gross assets associated with AGCO’s joint ventures in Russia, as a consequence of the current conflict between Russia and Ukraine. And, AGCO recorded a write-down of its investment in its Russian finance joint venture during 2022. AGCO also recorded a gain associated with the acquisition of the remaining 50% equity interest in its former joint venture with Appareo Systems, LLC during 2022. Last, AGCO recorded foreign currency translation impacts as a result of selling its interest in its Russian distribution joint venture. AGCO has provided income from operations, net income and net income per share amounts that have been adjusted to exclude these restructuring expenses, impairment charges, the write-down of the investment, divestiture-related foreign currency translation release, and the gain as previously discussed. During 2021, the net income and net income per share amounts provided also have been adjusted for non-cash adjustments to reverse previously established valuation allowances against certain AGCO’s net deferred income tax assets, reflected as one-time benefits to the tax provision. AGCO believes that the adjusted amounts during 2022 and 2021 provide management and investors useful information because the expenses that are excluded relate to events that resulted in a significant impact during the year, but will recur only in varied amounts and with unpredictable frequency. Management also uses these adjusted amounts to compare performance to budget when such impacts are significant.

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.

AGCO further provides net sales amounts that have been adjusted to exclude the impact of currency translation. AGCO believes that the adjusted amounts provide management and investors useful information to better analyze the causes of changes 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.
