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 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, 2014. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In September 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standard Update (“ASU”) 2015-16, “Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments” (“ASU 2015-16”). ASU 2015-16 amends existing guidance to require that an acquirer in a business combination recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined. In addition, an entity is required to present separately on the face of the income statement or disclose in the notes the portion of the amount recorded in earnings by line item that would have been recorded in previous reporting periods if the adjustments to the provisional amounts had been recognized as of the acquisition date. Prior period information is no longer to be revised. The standard is effective prospectively for adjustments to provisional amounts that occur after fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11, “Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory” (“ASU 2015-11”), which changes the measurement principle for inventory from the “lower of cost or market” to “lower of cost and net realizable value.”  The new principle is part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and applies to entities that measure inventory using a method other than the last-in, first-out (“LIFO”) or the retail inventory methods. Entities using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods of measuring inventory no longer will need to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximate normal profit margin in the subsequent measurement of inventory. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation.  The standard does not amend or change the determination of the cost of inventory.  The standard is effective prospectively for inventory measurements for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is permitted.  The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
    
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs” (“ASU 2015-03”). ASU 2015-03 amends existing guidance to require the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. Given the absence of authoritative guidance within ASU 2015-03, in August 2015 the FASB issued ASU 2015-15, “Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements” (“ASU 2015-15”), which clarifies that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. ASU 2015-03 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”), which supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance under current U.S. GAAP. ASU 2014-09 outlines a comprehensive, single revenue recognition model that provides a five-step analysis in determining when and how revenue is recognized. The new model will require revenue recognition to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers at an amount that reflects the consideration expected to be received in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures also will be

required to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 using either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. On July 9, 2015, the FASB delayed the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year or to reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. Early adoption is permitted, but not any earlier than the original effective date. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this standard on the Company’s results of operations and financial condition.
    

2.    ACQUISITIONS
    
On April 17, 2015, the Company acquired Farmer Automatic GmbH & Co. KG (“Farmer Automatic”) for approximately $17.9 million, net of cash acquired of approximately $0.1 million. Farmer Automatic, headquartered in Laer, Germany, is one of the leading manufacturers and suppliers of poultry housing and related products, including egg production cages and broiler production equipment. The acquisition was financed with available cash on hand. The Company allocated the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on preliminary estimates of their fair values as of the acquisition date. The acquired net assets primarily consisted of accounts receivable, inventories, accounts payable and accrued expenses, property, plant and equipment, and customer relationship, technology and trademark identifiable intangible assets. The Company recorded approximately $9.6 million of customer relationship, technology and trademark identifiable intangible assets and approximately $10.0 million of goodwill associated with the acquisition. The results of operations of Farmer Automatic have been included in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and from the date of the acquisition.
    
The acquired identifiable intangible assets of Farmer Automatic as of the date of the acquisition are summarized in the following table (in millions):

3.    RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER INFREQUENT EXPENSES

During the second half of 2014 and the first half of 2015, the Company announced and initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities located in Europe, China, Brazil, Argentina and the United States, as well as various administrative offices located in Europe, Brazil, China and the United States. The aggregate headcount reduction of approximately 1,950 employees in 2014 and 2015 was initiated in order to reduce costs in response to softening global demand and reduced production volumes. The Company recorded approximately $46.4 million of restructuring and other infrequent expenses during 2014 associated with these rationalizations, of which approximately $44.4 million related to severance and other related costs. During 2014, the Company paid approximately $19.0 million of these costs, and as of December 31, 2014, had a remaining accrued balance of approximately $25.4 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an additional $14.6 million of restructuring and other infrequent expenses and paid an additional $23.2 million of severance and other related costs. The remaining $15.9 million balance of severance and other related costs accrued as of September 30, 2015, inclusive of approximately $0.9 million of negative foreign currency translation impacts, will be paid primarily during 2015 and 2016.

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, restricted stock units 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, 2015 and 2014 was $45.54 and $53.87, respectively.
    
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company granted 724,752 awards related to the three-year performance period commencing in 2015 and ending in 2017, assuming the maximum target level of performance is achieved. In addition, in July 2015, the Company granted 136,934 performance awards under a new margin growth incentive plan, with a performance period of approximately six months through December 31, 2015. The new margin growth incentive plan provides for the award of shares of the Company’s common stock based on achieving an operating margin target as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. No shares will be earned if performance is below the established target. 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, 2015 were as follows and are presented as if the Company were to achieve its maximum levels of performance under the plan:
Shares awarded but not earned at January 1
2,481,767

Shares awarded
861,686

Shares forfeited or unearned
(53,671
)
Shares earned

Shares awarded but not earned at September 30
3,289,782


As of September 30, 2015, 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 $16.3 million, and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized is approximately two years.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company granted 144,398 restricted stock unit (“RSU”) awards. These awards entitle the participant to receive one share of the Company’s common stock for each RSU granted and vest one-third per year over a three-year requisite service period. Dividends will accrue on all unvested grants until the end of each vesting date within the three-year requisite service period. The compensation expense associated with these awards is being amortized ratably over the requisite service period for the awards that are expected to vest. The weighted average grant-date fair value of the RSUs granted under the 2006 Plan during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was $44.03. RSU transactions during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were as follows:

The total fair value of SSARs vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $4.1 million. There were 723,456 SSARs that were not vested as of September 30, 2015. The total intrinsic value of outstanding and exercisable SSARs as of September 30, 2015 was $2.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively. The total intrinsic value of SSARs exercised during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $1.4 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. All restricted stock grants made to the Company’s directors prior to April 24, 2014 were restricted as to transferability for a period of three years. Effective April 24, 2014, the shares granted on that date and all future grants made to the Company’s directors are restricted as to transferability for a period of one year. 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 connection with the payment of withholding taxes. The 2015 grant was made on April 23, 2015 and equated to 22,095 shares of common stock, of which 15,711 shares of common stock were issued after shares were withheld for taxes. The Company recorded stock compensation expense of approximately $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 associated with these grants.

As of September 30, 2015, of the 10.0 million shares reserved for issuance under the 2006 Plan, approximately 2.4 million shares were available for grant, assuming the maximum number of shares are earned related to the performance award grants discussed above.

4 1/2% Senior Term Loan

The Company’s €200.0 million (or approximately $223.4 million as of September 30, 2015) 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 41/2% 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.

Credit Facility

The Company’s revolving credit and term loan facility consists of an $800.0 million multi-currency revolving credit facility and a €312.0 million (or approximately $348.5 million as of September 30, 2015) term loan facility. The Company is not required to make quarterly payments towards the term loan facility. On June 19, 2015, the Company amended its current credit facility agreement, providing the Company with the ability to replace the current term loan facility denominated in United States dollars with an equivalent amount denominated in Euros. In August 2015, the Company replaced the outstanding term loan facility in the amount of $355.0 million, denominated in U.S. dollars, with an equivalent amount denominated in Euros. The Company also extended the maturity date of the credit facility from June 28, 2019 to June 26, 2020 and amended the interest rate margin. Under the amended credit facility agreement, interest accrues on amounts outstanding, at the Company’s option, depending on the currency borrowed, at either (1) LIBOR or EURIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.0% to 1.75% 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 0.25% based on the Company’s leverage ratio. Previously, the interest accrued 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. As is more fully described below and in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company entered into an interest rate swap in August 2015 to convert the term loan facility’s floating interest rate to a fixed interest rate of 0.33% plus the applicable margin over the remaining life of the term loan facility. 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, 2015, the Company had $653.1 million of outstanding borrowings under the credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $495.4 million. Approximately $304.6 million was outstanding under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and €312.0 million (or approximately $348.5 million) was outstanding under the term loan facility as of September 30, 2015. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $404.4 million of outstanding borrowings under its former credit facility and availability to borrow approximately $750.6 million. Approximately $49.4 million was outstanding under the multi-currency revolving credit facility and $355.0 million was outstanding under the term loan facility as of December 31, 2014.

During the third quarter of 2015, the Company designated the €312.0 million ($348.5 million at September 30, 2015) term loan facility as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the net investment hedge.

1.056% Senior Term Loan

In December 2014, the Company entered into a term loan with the European Investment Bank, which provided the Company with the ability to borrow up to €200.0 million. The €200.0 million (or approximately $223.4 million as of September 30, 2015) of funding was received on January 15, 2015 with a maturity date of January 15, 2020. The Company has the ability to prepay the term loan before its maturity date. Interest is payable on the term loan at 1.056% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears on January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year. The term loan contains covenants restricting, among other things, the use of funds for certain research and development projects, the incurrence of indebtedness and the making of certain payments, and is subject to acceleration in the event of default. The Company also has to fulfill financial covenants with respect to a net leverage ratio and an interest coverage ratio.

5 7/8%  Senior Notes

The Company’s $301.6 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, 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. As is more fully described below and in Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company entered into an interest rate swap in August 2015 to convert the senior notes’ fixed interest rate to a floating interest rate over the remaining life of the senior notes (a weighted average interest rate of 4.45% from the date of inception of the interest rate swap to September 30, 2015).

Interest Rate Swap Contracts
As previously discussed, the Company entered into two interest rate swap contracts during the three months ended September 30, 2015. One of the interest rate swap contracts converted the fixed interest rate for the Company’s 57/8% senior notes to a floating interest rate over the life of the notes and was accounted for as a fair value hedge. The other interest rate swap contract converted the floating interest rate for the Company’s term loan facility to a fixed interest rate over the life of the facility and was accounted for as a cash flow hedge. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s interest rate swap contracts.

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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, outstanding letters of credit totaled $17.6 million and $18.5 million, respectively.

9.    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 the exercise of outstanding SSARs, vesting of performance share awards and vesting of restricted stock units when the effects of such assumptions are dilutive. During 2014, the appreciation of the excess conversion value of the Company’s former contingently convertible senior subordinate notes was included in the diluted net income per common share using the treasury stock method when the impact of such assumptions was dilutive. 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, 2015 and 2014 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

10.    INCOME TAXES

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $133.9 million and $130.6 million, respectively, of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had approximately $62.2 million and $64.7 million, respectively, of accrued or deferred taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions that it expects to settle or pay in the next 12 months. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of $17.1 million and $15.3 million, respectively.
Generally, tax years 2009 through 2014 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and certain other foreign taxing jurisdictions.

11.    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 or the net investment hedges in foreign operations. When it is determined that a derivative is no longer highly effective as a hedge, hedge accounting is discontinued on a prospective basis.

The Company categorizes its derivative assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions used in valuing the asset or liability. See Note 15 for a discussion of the fair value hierarchy as per the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 820, “Fair Value Measurements.” The Company’s valuation techniques are designed to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

Foreign Currency and Interest Rate 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 may be partially hedged from time to time. The Company’s most significant translation exposures are the Euro, the British pound and the Brazilian real in relation to the United States dollar and the Swiss franc in relation to the Euro. When practical, the translation impact is reduced by financing local operations with local borrowings.

The Company uses floating rate and fixed rate debt to finance its operations. The floating rate debt obligations expose the Company to variability in interest payments due to changes in the EURIBOR and LIBOR benchmark interest rates. The Company believes it is prudent to limit the variability of a portion of its interest payments, and to meet that objective, the Company periodically enters into interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk associated with the Company’s borrowings.

The Company’s senior management establishes the Company’s foreign currency and interest rate risk management policies. These policies are reviewed periodically by the Finance 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.

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.

Derivative Transactions Designated as Hedging Instruments

Foreign Currency Contracts

During 2015 and 2014, 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 are recorded in other comprehensive loss 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 net loss recorded in other comprehensive loss that was reclassified into cost of goods sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was approximately $1.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively, on an after-tax basis. The outstanding contracts as of September 30, 2015 range in maturity through December 2015.

The Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $17.7 million and $23.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, that were entered into to hedge forecasted sale and purchase transactions.

Interest Rate Swap Contracts

Cash Flow Hedge    

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument with a notional amount of €312.0 million (or approximately $348.5 million at September 30, 2015) and an expiration date of June 26, 2020. The swap was designated and accounted for as a cash flow hedge. Under the swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed interest rate of 0.33% plus the applicable margin, and the counterparty to the agreement pays a floating interest rate based on the three-month EURIBOR.

Changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded in other comprehensive loss. These amounts are subsequently reclassified into interest expense as a rate adjustment in the same period in which the related interest on the Company’s floating rate term loan facility affects earnings. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the effective portion of the unrealized change in fair value, net of tax, was a loss of approximately $1.5 million, which was recorded in other comprehensive loss. The amount of the net loss recorded in other comprehensive loss that was reclassified into interest expense during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 was approximately $0.1 million, on an after-tax basis. There was no ineffectiveness during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Fair Value Hedge
    
During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company entered into an interest rate swap instrument with a notional amount of $300.0 million and an expiration date of December 1, 2021 designated as a fair value hedge of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes (Note 6). Under the interest rate swap, the Company pays a floating interest rate based on the three-month LIBOR plus a spread of 4.14% (or a weighted average interest rate of 4.45% from the date of inception of the interest rate swap to September 30, 2015) and the counterparty to the agreement pays a fixed interest rate of 57/8%. The gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of the interest rate swap are recorded to “Interest expense, net” and offset changes in the fair value of the underlying hedged 57/8% senior notes.

For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded unrealized losses on the hedged debt of approximately $1.6 million in “Interest expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The unrealized gains of approximately $1.6 million on the related interest rate swap instrument offset such unrealized losses, and were also recorded in “Interest expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses non-derivative (foreign currency denominated debt) and derivative (foreign currency contracts) instruments to hedge a portion of its net investment in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange rates. The Company measures ineffectiveness on these derivatives based on changes in forward rates.

For instruments that are designated as hedges of net investments in foreign operations, changes in the fair value of the derivative instruments are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments, a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss, to offset changes in the value of the net investments being hedged. When the net investment in foreign operations is sold or substantially liquidates, the amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss are reclassified to earnings. To the extent foreign currency denominated debt is dedesignated from a net investment hedge relationship, changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated debt are recorded in earnings through the maturity date.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company designated its €312.0 million (or approximately $348.5 million at September 30, 2015) term loan facility with a maturity date of June 26, 2020 as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, $2.1 million of foreign currency gains were included in the cumulative translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015, the Company designated foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of €200.0 million (or approximately $223.4 million at September 30, 2015) and a maturity date of December 1, 2015 as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. For both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $3.5 million of foreign currency gains were included in the cumulative translation adjustment component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

There was no ineffectiveness during both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015.
        
Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

During 2015 and 2014, the Company entered into foreign currency contracts to economically 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $1,054.9 million and $1,810.5 million, respectively, that were entered into to economically hedge receivables and payables that were denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. Changes in the fair value of these contracts are reported in “Other (income) expense, net.” For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded a net loss of approximately $6.5 million and $46.8 million, respectively, within “Other (income)expense, net” related to these contracts. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recorded a net gain of approximately $7.3 million and $13.2 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.

Share Repurchase Program

In June 2012, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company can repurchase up to $50.0 million of its common stock. This share repurchase program does not have an expiration date. In December 2013, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an additional share repurchase program under which the Company can repurchase up to $500.0 million of its common stock through an expiration date of June 2015. In December 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a third share repurchase program under which the Company can repurchase up to $500.0 million of shares of its common stock through December 2016.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company entered into accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”)agreements with a financial institution to repurchase an aggregate of $187.5 million of shares of the Company’s common stock.  The Company received approximately 3,488,063 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 related to the ASR agreements. All shares received under the ASR agreements were retired upon receipt, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to “Additional paid-in capital” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Of the $1,050.0 million in approved share repurchase programs, the remaining amount authorized to be repurchased is approximately $344.2 million.

13.    ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, 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 finance joint ventures. During the third quarter of 2015, the Company entered into an accounts receivable sales agreement that permits the sale, on an ongoing basis, of its wholesale receivables in Brazil to its Brazilian finance joint venture. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $1.1 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively.

Under the terms of the accounts receivable agreements in North America, Europe and Brazil, 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 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 $4.0 million and $13.4 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively. 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 $4.8 million and $19.0 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

The Company’s 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, 2015 and December 31, 2014, these finance joint ventures had approximately $19.7 million and $43.3 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately $28.2 million of contributions had been made to the Company’s defined pension benefit plans. The Company currently estimates its minimum contributions for 2015 to its defined pension benefit plans will aggregate approximately $36.4 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company made approximately $1.0 million of contributions to its postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans. The Company currently estimates that it will make approximately $1.5 million of contributions to its postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans during 2015.

In October 2015, the Company amended its Executive Nonqualified Pension Plan (“ENPP”) to (a) limit participation to only those individuals who were participants in the ENPP as of July 31, 2015, (b) add an additional benefit, commencing at the end of the current 15-year benefit period, providing each participant an annuity in an amount equal to the annual payment during that 15-year period (or an equivalent value if a joint and survivor annuity is selected by the participant), and (c) to make various other administrative changes. The new benefit generally will be available only to participants who retire on or after reaching normal retirement age and otherwise have a vested benefit under the plan.

15.    FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company categorizes its assets and liabilities into one of three levels based on the assumptions used in valuing the asset or liability. Estimates of fair value for financial assets and liabilities are based on a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Observable inputs (highest level) reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs (lowest level) reflect internally developed market assumptions. In accordance with this guidance, fair value measurements are classified under the following hierarchy:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 - Model-derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable.

The Company enters into foreign currency contracts that primarily are forward and options contracts (Note 11). 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 entered into an interest rate swap instrument designated as a fair value hedge of the Company’s 57/8% senior notes (Note 11).

The Company’s trading securities consist of government bonds.

16.    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 (loss) 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 (loss) from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 and assets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 based on the Company’s reportable segments are as follows (in millions):
