AGCO CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. 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 (“SEC”). 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, 2011. 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.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment” (“ASU 2012-02”). ASU 2012-02 permits an entity to make a qualitative assessment of whether it is more likely than not that an indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. If an entity concludes it is more likely than not that the fair value of such an asset exceeds its carrying amount, it need not calculate the fair value of the asset in that year. This standard is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial condition.
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income” (“ASU 2011-05”). ASU 2011-05 increases the prominence of other comprehensive income in financial statements. ASU 2011-05 does not change the items that must be reported in other comprehensive income or when an item of other comprehensive income must be reclassified to net income. The standard initially required that reclassification adjustments from other comprehensive income be measured and presented by income statement line item on the face of the statement of operations. In December 2011, however, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12, “Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in ASU 2011-05.” This standard defers the requirement to present components of reclassifications of other comprehensive income on the face of the statement of operations. The Company adopted these standards by consecutively presenting the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.
In May 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies existing fair value measurement concepts and continues the convergence towards a uniform framework for applying fair value measurement principles. This standard requires additional disclosures for fair value measurements, primarily Level 3 measurements. ASU 2011-04 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements or footnote disclosures.
2. ACQUISITIONS
During 2012, the Company acquired 61% of Santal Equipamentos S.A. Comércio e Indústria (“Santal”) for approximately R$36.7 million, net of approximately R$11.9 million cash acquired (or approximately $20.1 million, net). Santal, headquartered in Ribeirão Preto, Brazil, manufactures and distributes sugar cane planting, harvesting, handling and transportation equipment as well as replacement parts across Brazil. The acquisition of Santal will provide the Company’s customers in Brazil with a wider range of agricultural products and services. The acquisition was funded with available cash on hand. The Company recorded approximately $28.0 million of goodwill and approximately $2.6 million of tradename,

trademark and patent identifiable intangible assets associated with the acquisition. The goodwill is reported within the Company’s South American geographical reportable segment. The Company and the seller each have a call option and put option, respectively, with varying dates with respect to the remaining 39% interest in Santal. Therefore, the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in Santal was recorded within “Temporary equity” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of the acquisition date.
On November 30, 2011, the Company acquired GSI Holdings Corp. (“GSI”) for $932.2 million, net of approximately $27.9 million cash acquired. GSI, headquartered in Assumption, Illinois, is a leading manufacturer of grain storage and protein production systems. The acquisition was financed by the issuance of $300.0 million of 57/8% senior notes and the Company’s credit facility (Note 5).
On November 30, 2011, the Company acquired 98% of Shandong Dafeng Machinery Co., Ltd. (“Dafeng”) for approximately 171.7 million yuan (or approximately $26.9 million). The Company acquired approximately $17.1 million of cash and assumed approximately $41.1 million of current indebtedness associated with the transaction. Dafeng is located in Yanzhou, China and manufactures a complete range of corn, grain, rice and soybean harvesting machines for Chinese domestic markets. The acquisition was funded with available cash on hand.
On March 3, 2011, the Company acquired the remaining 50% interest of Laverda SpA (“Laverda”) for approximately €63.8 million, net of approximately €1.2 million cash acquired (or approximately $88.3 million, net). Laverda, previously an operating joint venture between AGCO and the Italian ARGO group, is located in Breganze, Italy and manufactures harvesting equipment. In addition to producing Laverda-branded combines, the Breganze factory manufactures mid-range combine harvesters for the Company’s Massey Ferguson, Fendt and Challenger brands for distribution in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The Company’s 100% ownership of Laverda includes ownership in Fella-Werke GMBH, a German manufacturer of grass and hay machinery. The acquisition was funded with available cash on hand.
The results of operations for the Santal, GSI, Dafeng and Laverda acquisitions have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and from the dates of the respective acquisitions. The Company allocated the purchase price of each acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of their fair values as of the respective acquisition dates. In general, the acquired assets of the Santal, GSI, Dafeng and Laverda acquisitions consisted primarily of accounts receivable, property, plant and equipment, inventories, other identifiable intangible assets and goodwill. The liabilities assumed generally consisted of accounts payable, current indebtedness and noncurrent deferred tax liabilities.
The following unaudited pro forma data summarizes the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 as if the current year acquisition and prior year acquisitions had occurred as of January 1, 2011 and 2010, respectively. The unaudited pro forma information does not reflect the impact of future events that may occur after the acquisition, including, but not limited to, anticipated cost savings from operating synergies. The unaudited pro forma financial information has been adjusted to give effect to adjustments that are directly related to the business combination, factually supportable, and expected to have a continuing impact. The adjustments include the application of the Company’s accounting policies, depreciation and amortization related to fair value adjustments to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and inventory, tax-related adjustments, and the impact of the Company’s issuance of $300.0 million of 57/8% senior notes and the credit facility, which were used to finance the acquisition of GSI. This unaudited pro forma information has been prepared for comparative purposes only and does not purport to represent what the results of operations of the Company actually would have been had the transactions occurred on the date indicated or what the results of operations may be in any future period (in millions, except per share data):

Stock Incentive Plan
Under the Company’s 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”), up to 10.0 million shares of AGCO common stock may be issued. The 2006 Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Board of Directors’ Compensation Committee, to make grants of performance shares, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock awards to employees, officers and non-employee directors of the Company.
Employee Plans
The weighted average grant-date fair value of performance awards granted under the 2006 Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was $52.14 and $53.04, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company granted 1,058,896 awards primarily related to the three-year performance period commencing in 2012 and ending in 2014, assuming the maximum target level of performance is achieved. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company also granted 144,048 awards related to a three- to five-year performance period that commenced in 2011 and ending in 2015, assuming the maximum target level of performance is achieved for operating margin improvement. The compensation expense associated with all awards granted under the 2006 Plan is amortized ratably over the vesting or performance period based on the Company’s projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned. Performance award transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 were as follows and are presented as if the Company were to achieve its maximum levels of performance under the plan:

As of September 30, 2012, the total compensation cost related to unearned performance awards not yet recognized, assuming the Company’s current projected assessment of the level of performance that will be achieved and earned, was approximately $51.1 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $1.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, associated with stock-settled appreciation rights (“SSAR”) awards. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $0.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, associated with SSAR awards. The Company estimated the fair value of the grants using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The Company utilized the “simplified” method for estimating the expected term of granted SSARs during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 as afforded by SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 107, “Share-Based Payment (SAB Topic 14),” and SAB No. 110, “Share-Based Payment (SAB Topic 14.D.2).” The expected term used to value a grant under the simplified method is the mid-point between the vesting date and the contractual term of the SSAR. As the Company has only been granting SSARs since April 2006, it does not believe it has sufficient relevant experience regarding employee exercise behavior. The weighted average grant-date fair value of SSARs granted under the 2006 Plan and the weighted average assumptions under the Black-Scholes option model were as follows for

SSARs exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $0.9 million. The Company realized an insignificant tax benefit from the exercise of these SSARs.
Director Restricted Stock Grants
The 2006 Plan provides for annual restricted stock grants of the Company’s common stock to all non-employee directors. The shares are restricted as to transferability for a period of three years, but are not subject to forfeiture. In the event a director departs from the Company’s Board of Directors, the non-transferability period expires immediately. The plan allows each director to have the option of forfeiting a portion of the shares awarded in lieu of a cash payment contributed to the participant’s tax withholding to satisfy the statutory minimum federal, state and employment taxes that would be payable at the time of grant. The 2012 grant was made on April 26, 2012 and equated to 19,251 shares of common stock, of which 13,986 shares of common stock were issued after shares were withheld for taxes. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $0.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 associated with these grants.
As of September 30, 2012, of the 10.0 million shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, approximately 4.1 million shares were available for grant, assuming the maximum number of shares are earned related to the performance award grants discussed above.
Stock Option Plan
During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, 2,000 stock options outstanding as of December 31, 2011 were exercised with an exercise price of $20.85.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was approximately $0.1 million. Cash proceeds received from stock option exercises was less than $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012. The Company did not realize a tax benefit from the exercise of these options.

Convertible Senior Subordinated Notes
The following table sets forth as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 the carrying amount of the equity component, the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount and the net carrying amount of the Company’s $201.3 million 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2036 (in millions):
|

Net carrying amount | $ | 189.9 |
| | $ | 183.4 |
|
The interest expense recognized relating to the contractual interest coupon and the amortization of the discount on the liability component for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes was approximately $2.8 million and $8.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively, and $2.7 million and $8.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively. The effective interest rate on the liability component for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was 6.1%. The unamortized discount for the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes will be amortized through December 2013, as this is the earliest date that the notes’ holders can require the Company to repurchase the notes.
The Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, due December 15, 2036, were issued in December 2006, and provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions occurring prior to December 15, 2013. The notes are unsecured obligations and are convertible into cash and shares of the Company’s common stock upon satisfaction of certain conditions. Interest is payable on the notes at 11/4% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The notes are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock at an effective price of $40.73 per share, subject to adjustment. This reflects an initial conversion rate for the notes of 24.5525 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes.
Holders of the Company’s 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes may convert the notes if, during any fiscal quarter, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock exceeds 120% of the conversion price of $40.73 per share for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock had not exceeded 120% of the conversion price of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and, therefore, the Company classified the notes as long-term debt. Future classification of the 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes between current and long-term debt is dependent on the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock during future quarters.
4 1/2% Senior Term Loan
The Company’s €200.0 million (or approximately $257.1 million as of September 30, 2012) 41/2% senior term loan with Coöperatieve Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A. (“Rabobank”) is due May 2, 2016. The Company has the ability to prepay the term loan before its maturity date. Interest is payable on the term loan at 4 1/2% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 of each year. The term loan contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of default. The Company also has to fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio.
5 7/8% Senior Notes
The Company’s $300.0 million of 57/8% senior notes due December 1, 2021 constitute senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. Interest is payable on the notes semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. At any time prior to September 1, 2021, the Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest,
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Continued
(unaudited)
including additional interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the redemption date at the treasury rate plus 0.5%, plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any. Beginning September 1, 2021, the Company may redeem the notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at its option, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest, including additional interest, if any.
Credit Facility
The Company’s revolving credit and term loan facility consists of a $600.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and a $385.0 million term loan facility. The maturity date of the Company’s credit facility is December 1, 2016. The Company is required to make quarterly payments towards the term loan of $5.0 million commencing March 2012 increasing to $10.0 million commencing March 2015. Interest accrues on amounts outstanding under the credit facility, at the Company’s option, at either (1) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 2.0% based on the Company’s leverage ratio, or (2) the base rate, which is equal to the higher of (i) the administrative agent’s base lending rate for the applicable currency, (ii) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and (iii) one-month LIBOR for loans denominated in US dollars plus 1.0% plus a margin ranging from 0.0% to 0.5% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. The credit facility contains covenants restricting, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, including dividends, and is subject to acceleration in the event of a default. The Company also has to fulfill financial covenants with respect to a total debt to EBITDA ratio and an interest coverage ratio. As of September 30, 2012, the Company had $600.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $385.0 million. As of December 31, 2011, the Company had $665.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $335.0 million.
The carrying amounts of long-term debt under the Company’s 41/2% senior term loan and credit facility approximate their fair values based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities. At September 30, 2012, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, based on their listed market values, were $324.6 million and $249.6 million, respectively, compared to their carrying values of $300.0 million and $189.9 million, respectively. At December 31, 2011, the estimated fair values of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes and 11/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, based on their listed market values, were $298.9 million and $252.4 million, respectively, compared to their carrying values of $300.0 million and $183.4 million, respectively.
Standby Letters of Credit and Similar Instruments
The Company has arrangements with various banks to issue standby letters of credit or similar instruments, which guarantee the Company’s obligations for the purchase or sale of certain inventories and for potential claims exposure for insurance coverage. At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, outstanding letters of credit totaled $16.9 million and $15.6 million, respectively.

8. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE
Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share assumes exercise of outstanding SSARs, vesting of performance share awards, vesting of restricted stock and the appreciation of the excess conversion value of the contingently convertible senior subordinated notes using the treasury stock method when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. Dilution of weighted shares outstanding will depend on the Company’s stock price for the excess conversion value of the convertible senior subordinated notes using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and its subsidiaries and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

9. INCOME TAXES
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had approximately $94.9 million and $71.1 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized.

10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
All derivatives are recognized on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. On the date the derivative contract is entered into, the Company designates the derivative as either (1) a fair value hedge of a recognized liability, (2) a cash flow hedge of a forecasted transaction, (3) a hedge of a net investment in a foreign operation, or (4) a non-designated derivative instrument.
The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objectives and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The Company formally assesses, both at the hedge’s inception and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions are highly effective in offsetting changes in fair values or cash flow of hedged items. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis.
Foreign Currency Risk
The Company has significant manufacturing operations in the United States, France, Germany, Finland and Brazil, and it purchases a portion of its tractors, combines and components from third-party foreign suppliers, primarily in various European countries and in Japan. The Company also sells products in over 140 countries throughout the world. The Company’s most significant transactional foreign currency exposures are the Euro, Brazilian real and the Canadian dollar in relation to the United States dollar, and the Euro in relation to the British pound.
The Company attempts to manage its transactional foreign exchange exposure by hedging foreign currency cash flow forecasts and commitments arising from the anticipated settlement of receivables and payables and from future purchases and sales. Where naturally offsetting currency positions do not occur, the Company hedges certain, but not all, of its exposures through the use of foreign currency contracts. The Company’s translation exposure resulting from translating the financial statements of foreign subsidiaries into United States dollars is not hedged. When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.
The foreign currency contracts are primarily forward and options contracts. These contracts’ fair value measurements fall within the Level 2 fair value hierarchy. Level 2 fair value measurements are generally based upon quoted market prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs or significant value-drivers are observable in active markets. The fair value of foreign currency forward contracts is based on a valuation model that discounts cash flows resulting from the differential between the contract price and the market-based forward rate. The fair value of foreign currency option contracts is based on a valuation model that utilizes spot and forward exchange rates, interest rates and currency pair volatility.
The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies. These policies are reviewed periodically by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors. The policies

allow for the use of derivative instruments to hedge exposures to movements in foreign currency and interest rates. The Company’s policies prohibit the use of derivative instruments for speculative purposes.
Cash Flow Hedges
During 2012 and 2011, the Company designated certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The effective portion of the fair value gains or losses on these cash flow hedges were recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income and are subsequently reclassified into cost of goods sold during the period the sales and purchases are recognized. These amounts offset the effect of the changes in foreign currency rates on the related sale and purchase transactions. The amount of the (loss) gain recorded in other comprehensive (loss) income that was reclassified to cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $(5.4) million and $4.9 million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The outstanding contracts as of September 30, 2012 range in maturity through December 2013.
The following table summarizes the activity in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the derivatives held by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 (in millions):

The Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $110.9 million and $275.9 million as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, that were entered into to hedge forecasted sale and purchase transactions.
Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments
During 2012 and 2011, the Company entered into foreign currency contracts to hedge receivables and payables on the Company and its subsidiaries’ balance sheets that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These contracts were classified as non-designated derivative instruments.
As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $1,275.6 million and $956.8 million, respectively, that were entered into to hedge receivables and payables that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported in “Other expense, net.” For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $6.3 million and $7.2 million, respectively, under the caption of “Other expense, net” related to these contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately $15.7 million and $13.8 million, respectively, within “Other expense, net” related to these contracts. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged.

Counterparty Risk
The Company regularly monitors the counterparty risk and credit ratings of all the counterparties to the derivative instruments. The Company believes that its exposures are appropriately diversified across counterparties and that these counterparties are creditworthy financial institutions. If the Company perceives any risk with a counterparty, then the Company would cease to do business with that counterparty. There have been no negative impacts to the Company from any non-performance of any counterparties.

12. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS
At September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the Company had accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America and Europe to its 49% owned U.S., Canadian and European retail finance joint ventures. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian and European accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $929.5 million and $827.5 million, respectively.
Under the terms of the accounts receivable agreements in North America and Europe, the Company pays an annual servicing fee related to the servicing of the receivables sold. The Company also pays the respective AGCO Finance entities a subsidized interest payment with respect to the sales agreements, calculated based upon LIBOR plus a margin on any non-interest bearing accounts receivable outstanding and sold under the sales agreements. These fees were reflected within losses on the sales of receivables included within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The receivables associated with these arrangements are without recourse to the Company. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. The Company reviewed its accounting for the accounts receivable sales agreements and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.
Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $5.8 million and $16.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012, respectively. Losses on sales of receivables associated with the Company’s accounts receivable financing facilities reflected within “Other expense, net” and “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations were approximately $6.9 million and $15.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively.
The Company’s retail finance joint ventures in Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing to the Company’s dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are without recourse to the Company. The Company does not service the receivables after the sale occurs and does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. As of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, these retail finance joint ventures had approximately $86.3 million and $62.0 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. The Company reviewed its accounting for these arrangements and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.
In addition, the Company sells certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables and determined that these arrangements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

14. SEGMENT REPORTING
Effective January 1, 2012, the Company modified its system of reporting, resulting from changes to its internal management and organizational structure, which changed its reportable segments from North America; South America; Europe/Africa/Middle East; and Rest of World, to North America; South America; Europe/Africa/Middle East; and Asia/Pacific. The Asia/Pacific reportable segment includes the regions of Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and the Europe/Africa/Middle East segment will now include certain markets in Eastern Europe. Effective January 1, 2012, these reportable segments are reflective of how the Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Disclosures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011 have been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.
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 and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 and assets as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011 based on the Company’s reportable segments are as follows (in millions):

15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Guarantees
The Company maintains a remarketing agreement with its U.S. retail finance joint venture, whereby the Company is obligated to repurchase repossessed inventory at market values. The Company has an agreement with its U.S. retail finance joint venture which limits the Company’s purchase obligations under this arrangement to $6.0 million in the aggregate per calendar year. The Company believes that any losses that might be incurred on the resale of this equipment will not materially impact the Company’s financial position or results of operations, due to the fair value of the underlying equipment.
At September 30, 2012, the Company guaranteed indebtedness owed to third parties of approximately $147.1 million, primarily related to dealer and end-user financing of equipment. Such guarantees generally obligate the Company to repay outstanding finance obligations owed to financial institutions if dealers or end users default on such loans through 2016. The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material to its financial position or results of operations. Losses under such guarantees have historically been insignificant. In addition, the Company generally would expect to be able to recover a significant portion of the amounts paid under such guarantees from the sale of the underlying financed farm equipment, as the fair value of such equipment is expected to be sufficient to offset a substantial portion of the amounts paid.
Other
The Company sells a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America and Europe to its 49% owned U.S., Canadian and European retail finance joint ventures. The Company also sells certain accounts receivable under factoring arrangements to financial institutions around the world. The Company reviewed the sale of such receivables and determined that these facilities should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

As a result of Brazilian tax legislative changes impacting value added taxes (“VAT”), the Company recorded a reserve of approximately $60.2 million and $54.6 million against its outstanding balance of Brazilian VAT receivable as of September 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, due to the uncertainty as to the Company’s ability to collect the amounts outstanding.
On June 27, 2008, the Republic of Iraq filed a civil action in a federal court in New York, Case No. 08 CIV 59617, naming as defendants the Company’s French subsidiary and two of its other foreign subsidiaries that participated in the United Nations Oil for Food Program (the “Program”). Ninety-one other entities or companies also were named as defendants in the civil action due to their participation in the Program. The complaint purports to assert claims against each of the defendants seeking damages in an unspecified amount. Although the Company’s subsidiaries intend to vigorously defend against this action, it is not possible at this time to predict the outcome of this action or its impact, if any, on the Company, although if the outcome was adverse, the Company could be required to pay damages. In addition, the French government also is investigating the Company’s French subsidiary in connection with its participation in the Program.
In August 2008, as part of a routine audit, the Brazilian taxing authorities disallowed deductions relating to the amortization of certain goodwill recognized in connection with a reorganization of the Company’s Brazilian operations and the related transfer of certain assets to the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries. The amount of the tax disallowance through September 30, 2012, not including interest and penalties, was approximately R$90.6 million (or approximately $44.6 million). The amount ultimately in dispute will be greater because of interest and penalties. The Company has been advised by its legal and tax advisors that its position with respect to the deductions is allowable under the tax laws of Brazil. The Company is contesting the disallowance and believes that it is not likely that the assessment, interest or penalties will be required to be paid. However, the ultimate outcome will not be determined until the Brazilian tax appeal process is complete, which could take several years.
The Company is a party to various other legal claims and actions incidental to its business. The Company believes that none of these claims or actions, either individually or in the aggregate, is material to its business or financial statements as a whole, including its results of operations and financial condition.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS
GENERAL
Our operations are subject to the cyclical nature of the agricultural industry. Sales of our equipment have been and are expected to continue to be affected by changes in net cash farm income, farm land values, weather conditions, demand for agricultural commodities, commodity prices and general economic conditions. We record sales when we sell equipment and replacement parts to our independent dealers, distributors or other customers. To the extent possible, we attempt to sell products to our dealers and distributors on a level basis throughout the year to reduce the effect of seasonal demands on manufacturing operations and to minimize our investment in inventory. Retail sales by dealers to farmers are highly seasonal and are a function of the timing of the planting and harvesting seasons. As a result, our net sales have historically been the lowest in the first quarter and have increased in subsequent quarters.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
For the three months ended September 30, 2012, we generated net income of $94.5 million, or $0.96 per share, compared to net income of $84.4 million, or $0.87 per share, for the same period in 2011. For the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we generated net income of $419.6 million, or $4.25 per share, compared to net income of $298.1 million, or $3.04 per share, for the same period in 2011.
Net sales during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were $2,295.0 million and $7,258.8 million, respectively, which were approximately 9.3% and 16.0% higher than both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2011, respectively, due to sales growth in all of our geographical segments as well as the favorable impact of acquisitions, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of currency translation.
Income from operations for the three months ended September 30, 2012 was $139.6 million, compared to $114.3 million in the three months ended September 30, 2011. Income from operations was $574.3 million for the first nine months of 2012 compared to $424.6 million for the same period in 2011. The increase in income from operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2012 was a result of the benefits of acquisitions, an increase in net sales and improved gross margins resulting from price increases, higher production levels, a better sales mix and material cost control initiatives, partially offset by higher market development expenses.
Income from operations in our Europe/Africa/Middle East (“EAME”) region decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and increased in the first nine months of 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2012 was primarily due to lower production volumes, a weaker mix of products, the negative impact of currency translation and the impact of start-up costs related to the opening of our new Fendt assembly facility in Germany. The increase in income from operations in the first nine months of 2012 was primarily due to higher sales and production volumes and a better product mix, partially offset by the negative impact of currency translation. In the South America region, income from operations increased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011. The increase in income from operations was primarily due to higher sales volumes and improved margins from cost control efforts. Income from operations in North America was higher in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 primarily due to the positive impact of acquisitions, higher net sales and cost control initiatives. Income from operations in our Asia/Pacific region decreased in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 compared to the same periods in 2011 due to additional market development costs in China which were partially offset by acquisition benefits and improved gross margins.
Industry Unit Retail Sales
In North America, industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first nine months of 2012 increased by approximately 7% compared to the first nine months of 2011, with increases in compact, utility and high horsepower tractors. Record farm income in 2011 and continued favorable farm economics resulted in the strength in retail sales of high horsepower tractors. Improvement in the dairy and livestock sectors has contributed to higher industry unit retail sales of utility tractors. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first nine months of 2012 decreased by approximately 8% compared to the first nine months of 2011, primarily due to the timing of industry production and high levels of demand experienced in 2011.
In Western Europe, industry unit retail sales of tractors were relatively flat and industry unit retail sales of combines increased approximately 3% for the first nine months of 2012 compared to the first nine months of 2011. Better crop fundamentals are sustaining demand in the key Western European markets of Germany, France and the United Kingdom while demand has weakened in Southern Europe, Scandinavia and Finland.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
(continued)
South American industry unit retail sales of tractors in the first nine months of 2012 decreased approximately 2% compared to the elevated levels in the same period in 2011. Industry unit retail sales of combines for the first nine months of 2012 were approximately 9% lower than the first nine months of 2011. Drought impacted the early harvests in southern Brazil and Argentina in the first half of 2012, resulting in weaker demand in these markets. Despite the adverse weather conditions earlier in the year, overall industry demand in South America remains at a high level primarily due to improved crop conditions, attractive government financing programs in Brazil and favorable crop prices.
STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
Net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2012 were $2,295.0 million compared to $2,099.1 million for the same period in 2011. Net sales for the first nine months of 2012 were $7,258.8 million compared to $6,255.4 million for the same period in 2011. Acquisitions positively impacted net sales by approximately $218.2 million, or 10.4%, in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and by $673.4 million, or 10.8%, in the first nine months of 2012. Foreign currency translation negatively impacted net sales by approximately $231.0 million, or 11.0%, in the three months ended September 30, 2012 and by $572.6 million, or 9.2%, in the first nine months of 2012.
