(2) Based on Company estimates.

“A late harvest and lower crop production in North America were mostly offset by better production in Brazil and the European Union, keeping grain inventories relatively high and pressuring commodity prices during 2019,” continued Mr. Richenhagen. “Global industry retail sales of farm equipment in 2019 were lower across AGCO’s key markets with fourth quarter industry retail sales significantly lower than the prior year in both Europe and South America. For the full year, industry retail sales were down modestly in North America during 2019 due to a difficult growing season and concerns involving trade. The USDA is projecting 2020 farm income in the U.S. to remain challenged due to low commodity prices and uncertainty with Market Facilitation Program payments. We project North American industry tractor sales to be modestly down in 2020 compared to 2019. In Western Europe, industry demand trended progressively lower throughout 2019 due to the impact of lower wheat and milk prices and higher input costs for dairy producers. Industry sales declines across most of Western Europe were partially offset by growth in France, Finland and Spain. For 2020, EU farm income is expected to be down modestly driven primarily by lower milk prices, partially offset by more normal crop production. Based on these assumptions, we expect sentiment to remain weak and 2020 industry demand to continue to soften modestly across the European markets. Industry sales in Australia and New Zealand were down significantly in 2019 from 2018 levels to due drought conditions and will likely remain down in 2020. Fourth quarter industry retail sales in Brazil did not recover as we expected, resulting in a strong decline for the full year. Industry demand is expected to improve in Brazil in 2020. Brazilian farmers should benefit from a weaker Real and strong crop production, however, uncertainty around export demand and potential changes to the subsidized financing program are likely to temper farmer sentiment. Our long-term global view remains positive. Increasing demand for commodities, driven by the growing world population, rising emerging market protein consumption and biofuel use, are expected to support elevated farm income and healthy conditions in our industry.”

North America

Net sales in the North American region increased 0.9% for the full year of 2019 compared to 2018, excluding the negative impact of currency translation. Increased sales of compact tractors, combines and parts were mostly offset by lower sales of protein production equipment and utility tractors. Income from operations for the full year of 2019 improved approximately $18.5 million compared to 2018. The benefit of improved pricing and cost control initiatives contributed to operating margin improvement.

South America

AGCO’s South American net sales decreased 11.1% for the full year of 2019 compared to 2018, excluding the impact of unfavorable currency translation. The loss from operations increased approximately $29.3 million for the full year of 2019 compared to 2018. The South America results reflect low levels of industry demand and company production, as well as unfavorable cost impacts of newer product technology into our Brazilian factories.

Europe/Middle East

AGCO’s Europe/Middle East net sales increased 4.4% in the full year of 2019 compared to 2018, excluding unfavorable currency translation impacts. Sales growth in France, Germany and Italy was partially offset by declines in the United Kingdom and Eastern Europe. Income from operations increased approximately $37.1 million for the full year of 2019 compared to 2018, due to the benefit of higher sales and margin improvement resulting from pricing, improved factory productivity and a favorable sales mix.

Asia/Pacific/Africa

Asia/Pacific/Africa net sales decreased 8.9%, excluding the negative impact of currency translation, in the full year of 2019 compared to 2018. Lower sales in China, South East Asia and Africa accounted for most of the decline. Income from operations dropped approximately $6.2 million for the full year of 2019 compared to 2018, due to lower sales and production.

Outlook

AGCO’s net sales for 2020 are expected to reach approximately $9.2 billion reflecting improved sales volumes and positive pricing. Gross and operating margins are expected to improve from 2019 levels, reflecting the positive impact of pricing and cost reduction efforts. Based on these assumptions, 2020 earnings per share is targeted in a range from $5.00 to $5.20.

Safe Harbor Statement

Statements that are not historical facts, including the projections of earnings per share, sales, industry demand, market conditions, commodity prices, currency translation, farm income levels, margin levels, investments in product and technology development, new product introductions, restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives, production volumes, tax rates and general economic conditions, are forward-looking and subject to risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the statements. The following are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements.

• Our financial results depend entirely upon the agricultural industry, and factors that adversely affect the agricultural industry generally, including declines in the general economy, adverse weather, tariffs, increases in farm input costs, lower commodity prices, lower farm income and changes in the availability of credit for our retail customers, will adversely affect us.
• A majority of our sales and manufacturing take place outside the United States, and, many of our sales involve products that are manufactured in one country and sold in a different country, and as a result, we are exposed to risks related to foreign laws, taxes and tariffs, trade restrictions, 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. Among these risks are the uncertain consequences of Brexit, Russian sanctions and tariffs imposed on exports to and imports from China.
• Most retail sales of the products that we manufacture are financed, either by our joint ventures with Rabobank or by a bank or other private lender. Our joint ventures with Rabobank, which are controlled by Rabobank and are dependent upon Rabobank for financing as well, finance over 50% of the retail sales of our tractors and combines in the markets where the joint ventures operate. Any difficulty by Rabobank to continue to provide that financing, or any business decision by Rabobank as the controlling member not to fund the business or particular aspects of it (for example, a particular country or region), would require the joint ventures to find other sources of financing (which may be difficult to obtain), or us to find another source of retail financing for our customers, or our customers would be required to utilize other retail financing providers. As a result of the recent economic downturn, financing for capital equipment purchases generally has become more difficult in certain regions and in some cases, can be expensive to obtain. To the extent that financing is not available or available only at unattractive prices, our sales would be negatively impacted.
• Both AGCO and our finance joint ventures have substantial accounts receivable from dealers and end customers, and we would be adversely impacted if the collectability of these receivables was not consistent with historical experience; this collectability is dependent upon the financial strength of the farm industry, which in turn is dependent upon the general economy and commodity prices, as well as several of the other factors listed in this section.
• We have experienced substantial and sustained volatility with respect to currency exchange rate and interest rate changes, which can adversely affect our reported results of operations and the competitiveness of our products.
• Our success depends on the introduction of new products, particularly engines that comply with emission requirements, which requires substantial expenditures.
• Our production levels and capacity constraints at our facilities, including those resulting from plant expansions and systems upgrades at our manufacturing facilities, could adversely affect our results.
• Our expansion plans in emerging markets, including establishing a greater manufacturing and marketing presence and growing our use of component suppliers, could entail significant risks.
• Our business increasingly is subject to regulations relating to privacy and data protection, and if we violate any of those regulations or otherwise are the victim of a cyber attack, we could incur significant losses and liability.
• We depend on suppliers for components, parts and raw materials 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. It remains unclear, how, if at all, the recent outbreak of the coronavirus will impact the agricultural industry, our suppliers, or our global operations.
• We are subject to raw material price fluctuations, which can adversely affect our manufacturing costs.
• We face significant competition, and if we are unable to compete successfully against other agricultural equipment manufacturers, we would lose customers and our net sales and profitability would decline.
• We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, and, as a result, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants and payment obligations that may adversely affect our ability to operate and expand our business.

Further information concerning these and other factors is included in AGCO’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 and subsequent Form 10-Qs. AGCO disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

2. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLES IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $173.6 million within “Impairment charges” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations related to goodwill associated with its grain storage and protein production system operations (“grain and protein business”) in Europe/Middle East. As part of the Company’s annual impairment evaluation of goodwill, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit was less than its carrying amount. This was primarily as a result of a review of current and recently projected market conditions and operating results of the business. The quantitative goodwill impairment analysis was performed in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other” and Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-04, “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017 - 04”).

During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company also recorded a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $3.0 million within “Impairment charges” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The impairment charge related to certain long-lived intangible assets associated with the grain and protein business within Europe/Middle East and North America, due to the discontinuation of a certain brand name and related products and customers in accordance with ASC 360 “Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets.”

3. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

From 2014 through 2019, the Company announced and initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities and administrative offices located in the U.S., Europe, South America, Africa and China in order to reduce costs in response to softening global market demand and lower production volumes. The aggregate headcount reduction was approximately 3,890 employees for the years 2014 to 2018. The Company had approximately $7.1 million of severance and related costs accrued as of December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an additional $6.9 million of severance and related costs associated with these rationalizations, as well as the rationalization of its grain and protein business that was initiated during the fourth quarter of 2019. The restructuring expenses recorded during 2019 related to the termination of an additional 270 employees. During 2019, the Company paid approximately $7.3 million of severance and other related costs. The $6.9 million of expenses recorded during the year end December 31, 2019 included a $1.5 million write-down of property, plant and equipment. The remaining $4.8 million of accrued severance and other related costs as of December 31, 2019, inclusive of approximately $0.4 million of negative foreign currency translation impacts, are expected to be paid primarily during 2020.

In addition, during the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company exited and sold it’s 50% interest in its USC, LLC joint venture to its joint venture partner for approximately $5.1 million. The operations of the joint venture were part of the Company’s grain storage and protein production system operations, and the decision to sell the Company’s 50% interest was a part of its overall rationalization activities of the grain storage and protein production systems operations discussed above. The Company recorded a loss of approximately $2.1 million associated with the sale, which was reflected within “Restructuring expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

7. NET INCOME PER SHARE

A reconciliation of net (loss) income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net (loss) income per share for the three months and years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

	Three Months Ended December 31,								Years Ended December 31,
	2019				2018				2019				2018
Basic net (loss) income per share:
Net (loss) income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	(88.3	)		$	98.7			$	125.2			$	285.5
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	75.6				77.4				76.2				78.8
Basic net (loss) income per share attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	(1.17	)		$	1.28			$	1.64			$	3.62
Diluted net (loss) income per share:
Net (loss) income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	(88.3	)		$	98.7			$	125.2			$	285.5
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	75.6				77.4				76.2				78.8
Dilutive stock-settled appreciation rights, performance share awards and restricted stock units	—				1.2				0.8				0.9

Diluted net (loss) income per share attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries	$	(1.17	)		$	1.26			$	1.63			$	3.58

The weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding for purposes of computing diluted net loss per share above do not include the impact of dilutive stock-settled appreciation rights, performance share awards and restricted stock units for the three months ended December 31, 2019 as the impact would have been antidilutive. The number of shares excluded from the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding was approximately 1.1 million shares for the three months ended December 31, 2019.

8. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company’s four reportable segments distribute a full range of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on income from operations. Sales for each segment are based on the location of the third-party customer. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment based on the region and division where the expenses are incurred. As a result, the components of income from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three months and years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 are as follows (in millions):
