Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

  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. 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, 2023. Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the year. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in order to conform to the current period presentation.

The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Turkey that distributes agricultural equipment and replacement parts. On the basis of available data related to inflation indices and as a result of the devaluation of the Turkish lira relative to the United States dollar, the Turkish economy was determined to be highly inflationary during 2022. A highly inflationary economy is one where the cumulative inflation rate for the three years preceding the beginning of the reporting period, including interim reporting periods, is in excess of 100 percent. For subsidiaries operating in highly inflationary economies, the United States dollar is the functional currency. Remeasurement adjustments for financial statements in highly inflationary economies and other transactional exchange gains and losses are reported in "Other expense, net" within the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. For the three months ended and as of March 31, 2024, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Turkey had net sales of approximately $156.3 million and total assets of approximately 7.3 billion Turkish lira (or approximately $225.7 million). The monetary assets and liabilities denominated in the Turkish lira were approximately 6.5 billion Turkish lira (or approximately $201.5 million) and approximately 5.6 billion Turkish lira (or approximately $172.3 million), respectively, as of March 31, 2024. The monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured into United States dollar based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2024.

The Company has a wholly-owned subsidiary in Argentina that assembles and distributes agricultural equipment and replacement parts. In recent years, the Argentine government has substantially limited the ability of companies to transfer funds out of Argentina. As a consequence of these limitations, the spread between the official government exchange rate and the exchange rates resulting from certain capital market operations, usually effected to obtain United States dollars, has broadened significantly. Argentina's economy was determined to be highly inflationary during 2018. In December 2023, the central bank of Argentina adjusted the official foreign currency exchange rate for the Argentine peso, significantly devaluing the currency relative to the United States dollar. For the three months ended and as of March 31, 2024, the Company's wholly-owned subsidiary in Argentina had net sales of approximately $44.2 million and total assets of approximately 220.8 billion pesos (or approximately $265.0 million). The monetary assets of the Company's operations in Argentina denominated in pesos at the official government rate were approximately 82.1 billion pesos (or approximately $98.5 million), inclusive of approximately 33.4 billion pesos (or approximately $40.1 million) in cash and cash equivalents, as of March 31, 2024. The monetary liabilities of the Company's operations in Argentina denominated in pesos at the official government rate were approximately 16.8 billion pesos (or approximately $20.2 million) as of March 31, 2024. The monetary assets and liabilities were remeasured into United States dollar based on exchange rates as of March 31, 2024. The Company's finance joint venture in Argentina, AGCO Capital Argentina S.A. ("AGCO Capital"), had net monetary assets denominated in pesos at the official government rate of approximately 11.8 billion (or approximately $14.1 million) as of March 31, 2024, of which a majority is cash and cash equivalents. All gains and losses resulting from AGCO Capital's remeasurement of its monetary assets and liabilities are reported as part of AGCO Capital's net income, our share of which is included in “Equity in net earnings of affiliates” within our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, "Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures," which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements and requires entities to disclose its significant segment expense categories and amounts for each reportable segment. The ASU is effective for public entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures". The standard requires disaggregated information about a reporting entity’s effective tax rate reconciliation as well as information on income taxes paid. The requirements will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that the updated standard will have on its financial statement disclosures.

  1. ACQUISITIONS

On September 28, 2023, the Company entered into a Sale and Contribution Agreement among AGCO, Trimble Inc. (“Trimble”) and PTx Trimble, LLC (“PTx Trimble” or the "Joint Venture"), formerly known as Trimble Solutions, LLC, which was subsequently amended and restated on March 31, 2024. On April 1, 2024, pursuant to the terms of an Amended and Restated Sale and Contribution Agreement (the “Agreement”), AGCO and Trimble completed (i) the contribution by Trimble to the Joint Venture of Trimble’s OneAg business, which is Trimble’s agricultural business, excluding certain Global Navigation Satellite System and guidance technologies, and an amount of cash, (ii) the contribution by AGCO to the Joint Venture of its interest in JCA Industries, LLC d/b/a JCA Technologies and an amount of cash, and (iii) the purchase by AGCO from Trimble of membership interests in the Joint Venture in exchange for the payment by AGCO to Trimble of $1,954.0 million in cash, subject to customary working capital and other adjustments. Immediately following the closing and as a result of the transaction, AGCO directly and indirectly owns an 85% interest in the Joint Venture and Trimble owns a 15% interest in the Joint Venture. AGCO will consolidate PTx Trimble within its consolidated financial statements. The Company has not presented a purchase price allocation related to the fair values of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests because the initial accounting for the acquisition was incomplete as of the issuance date of the financial statements. The purchase price was funded using net proceeds from the issuance of Senior Notes due 2027 and 2034, a term loan facility and the remainder through other borrowings and cash on hand. Refer to Note 8 for further information.

  1. ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS

The Company has accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America, Europe and Brazil to its U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the cash received from receivables sold under the U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $2.4 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively.

Under the terms of the accounts receivable sales agreements in the U.S., Canada, Europe and Brazil, the Company pays an annual 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 accounts receivable sales agreements, calculated based upon the interest rate charged by Rabobank to its affiliate, and such affiliate then lends to the AGCO Finance entities plus an agreed-upon margin. These fees are 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 receivables sold under these agreements 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. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the cash received from these arrangements was approximately $213.3 million and $233.3 million, respectively. Under these arrangements, the Company is required to continue to service the sold receivables at market rates. The Company does not maintain any direct retained interest in the receivables. The Company reviewed its accounting for the accounts receivable sales agreements and determined that

receivables sold under these agreements should be accounted for as off-balance sheet transactions.

Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable sales agreements discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $27.9 million and $28.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company’s finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing directly to the Company’s dealers. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, these finance joint ventures had approximately $218.6 million and $211.3 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements.

In certain foreign countries, the Company invoices its finance joint ventures directly and the finance joint ventures retain a form of title to the goods delivered to dealers until the dealer makes payment so that the finance joint ventures can recover the goods in the event of dealer or end customer default on payment. This occurs as the laws of some foreign countries do not provide for a seller’s retention of a security interest in goods in the same manner as established in the United States Uniform Commercial Code. The only right the finance joint ventures retain with respect to the title are those enabling recovery of the goods in the event of customer default on payment. The dealer or distributor may not return equipment or replacement parts to the Company while its contract with the finance joint venture is in force, and can only return the equipment to the retail finance joint venture with penalties that would generally not make it economically beneficial to do so.

Foreign currency translation(17.8)11.8
Balance at March 31$793.1$677.0

The Company’s agricultural equipment products generally are warranted against defects in material and workmanship for a period ofone tofour years. The Company accrues for future warranty costs at the time of sale based on historical warranty experience. The Company's extended warranty period for the majority of products ranges from three tofive years. Revenue is recognized for the extended warranty contracts on a straight-line basis, which the Company believes approximates the cost expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations, over the extended warranty period. Approximately $661.9 million, $679.9 million and $572.1 million of warranty reserves are included in “Accrued expenses” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, respectively. Approximately $131.2 million, $120.9 million and $104.9 million of warranty reserves are included in “Other noncurrent liabilities” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, respectively.

The Company recognizes potential recoveries of the costs associated with warranties it provides when the collection is probable. When specifics of the recovery have been agreed upon with the Company’s suppliers through the confirmation of liability for the recovery, the Company records the recovery within “Accounts and notes receivable, net.” Estimates of the amount of warranty claim recoveries to be received from the Company’s suppliers based upon contractual supplier arrangements are recorded within “Other current assets.”

  1. SUPPLIER FINANCE PROGRAMS

The Company has supplier financing arrangements with certain banks or other intermediaries whereby a bank or intermediary purchases receivables held by the Company’s suppliers. Under the program, suppliers have the option to be paid by the bank or intermediary earlier than the payment due date. When the supplier receives an early payment, they receive discounted amounts, and the Company pays the bank or intermediary the face amount of the invoice on the payment due date. The Company does not reimburse suppliers for any costs incurred for participation in the program. The Company and its suppliers agree on the contractual terms, including prices, quantities and payment terms, regardless of whether the supplier elects to participate in the supplier finance programs. The suppliers’ voluntary inclusion in the supplier financing programs has no bearing on the Company’s payment terms. The Company has no economic interest in a supplier’s decision to participate in the programs, and the Company has no direct financial relationship with the banks or other intermediaries as it relates to the supplier finance programs. As of March 31, 2024, payment terms with the majority of the Company’s suppliers are generally 30 to 180 days, which correspond to the contractual terms, with rates that are based on market rates (such as SOFR) plus a credit spread. There are no assets pledged as security under the programs. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the amounts outstanding that remain unpaid to the banks or other intermediaries totaled $87.5 million and $82.7 million, respectively, and are reflected in “Accounts payable” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Credit Facility and Term Loan Facility

In December 2022, the Company, certain of its subsidiaries and Rabobank, and other named lenders entered into an amendment to its credit facility providing for a $1.25 billion multi-currency unsecured revolving credit facility (“Credit Facility”), which replaced the Company’s former $800.0 million multi-currency unsecured revolving credit facility. The amendment provided an additional $450.0 million in borrowing capacity. An initial borrowing under the credit facility was used to repay and retire a $240.0 million short-term multi-currency revolving credit facility with Rabobank that matured on March 31, 2023. The Credit Facility consists of a $325.0 million United States dollar tranche and a $925.0 million multi-currency tranche for loans denominated in United States dollars, Euros or other currencies to be agreed upon. The Credit Facility matures on December 19, 2027.

Any loans will bear interest at the EURIBOR plus a credit spread. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company hadno outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and had the ability to borrow €100.0 million (or approximately $107.9 million).

  1. RECOVERABLE INDIRECT TAXES

The Company’s Brazilian operations incur value added taxes (“VAT”) on certain purchases of raw materials, components and services. These taxes are accumulated as tax credits and create assets that are reduced by the VAT collected from the Company’s sales in the Brazilian market. The Company regularly assesses the recoverability of these tax credits and establishes reserves when necessary against them, through analyses that include, amongst others, the history of realization, the transfer of tax credits to third parties as authorized by the government, anticipated changes in the supply chain and the future expectation of tax debits from the Company’s ongoing operations. The Company believes that these tax credits, net of established reserves, are realizable. The Company had recorded approximately $93.9 million and $93.5 million, respectively, of VAT tax credits, net of reserves, as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

  1. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES

Derivative Transactions Designated as Hedging Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

Foreign Currency Contracts

The Company uses cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in the fair values of these cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated 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 Company designates certain foreign currency contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future sales and purchases. The total notional value of derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $494.5 million and $262.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Steel Commodity Contracts

The Company designates certain steel commodity contracts as cash flow hedges of expected future purchases of steel. The total notional value of derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges was approximately $1.6 million and $2.5 million as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company entered into treasury rate locks in early March 2024 to fix the interest rate for the 2034 Notes issued on March 21, 2024. The derivative position settled on March 28, 2024 with a cash settlement that offset changes in the benchmark treasury rate between the execution of the treasury rate lock and the debt pricing date for the 2034 Notes. This treasury rate lock was designated as a cash flow hedge and the gain at termination of $8.2 million was recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The amount recognized in accumulated other comprehensive loss is reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the 2034 Notes through the maturity date.

The following tables summarize the after-tax impact that changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges had on accumulated other comprehensive loss and net income during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 (in millions):

As of March 31, 2024, approximately $0.6 million and $0.1 million of derivative realized net losses, before taxes, remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to foreign currency contracts and commodity contracts, respectively, associated with inventory that had not yet been sold.

Net Investment Hedges

The Company uses non-derivative and derivative instruments to hedge a portion of its net investment in foreign operations against adverse movements in exchange 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 de-designated from a net investment hedge relationship, changes in the value of the foreign currency denominated debt are recorded in earnings through the maturity date.

On January 29, 2021, the Company entered into a cross currency swap contract as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. The cross currency swap has an expiration date of January 29, 2028. At maturity of the cross currency swap contract, the Company will deliver the notional amount of approximately €247.9 million (or approximately $267.4 million as of March 31, 2024) and will receive $300.0 million from the counterparties. The Company will receive quarterly interest payments from the counterparties based on a fixed interest rate until the maturity of the cross currency swap.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company designated €150.0 million of its multi-currency revolving credit facility maturing December 2027 as a hedge of its net investment in foreign operations to offset foreign currency translation gains or losses on the net investment. This portion of the multi-currency revolving credit facility was repaid in December 2023. The Company recognized the change in fair value of the foreign currency denominated debt designated as a net investment hedge, a gain of $0.9 million, net of tax, in accumulated other comprehensive loss during the three months ended March 31, 2023.

Derivative Transactions Not Designated as Hedging Instruments

The Company enters into foreign currency contracts to economically hedge a portion of its receivables and payables on the Company and its subsidiaries’ balance sheets that are denominated in foreign currencies other than the functional currency. These contracts are classified as non-designated derivative instruments. Gains and losses on such contracts are substantially offset by losses and gains on the remeasurement of the underlying asset or liability being hedged and are immediately recognized into earnings. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had outstanding foreign currency contracts with a notional amount of approximately $2,545.2 million and $3,125.1 million, respectively.

Share Repurchase Program

In November 2023, the Company entered into an accelerated share repurchase (“ASR”) agreement with a financial institution to repurchase $53.0 million of shares of its common stock. The Company received approximately 371,669 shares associated with this transaction as of December 31, 2023. In January 2024, the Company received an additional 82,883 shares upon final settlement of its November 2023 ASR agreement. All shares received under the ASR agreement were retired upon receipt, and the excess of the purchase price over par value per share was recorded to a combination of “Additional paid-in capital” and “Retained earnings” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company didnot purchase any shares directly or enter into any accelerated share repurchase agreements.

As of March 31, 2024, the remaining amount authorized to be repurchased under board-approved share repurchase authorizations was approximately $57.0 million, which has no expiration date.

Dividends

During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, the Company declared and paid cash dividends of $0.29 and $0.24 per common share, respectively. On April 25, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend of $0.29 per common share to be paid on June 14, 2024, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 15, 2024. In addition, on April 25, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors declared a special variable dividend of $2.50 per common share that will be paid on June 20, 2024, to all stockholders of record as of the close of business on May 20, 2024.

  1. NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE

Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each period. Diluted net income per common share assumes the exercise of outstanding stock-settled stock appreciation rights ("SSARs") and the vesting of restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs") using the treasury stock method when there is no other circumstance other than the passage of time under which they would not be issued, and the effects of such assumptions are dilutive.

A reconciliation of net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted net income per share for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 is as follows (in millions, except per share data):

  1. INCOME TAXES

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $369.7 million and $351.2 million, respectively, of gross unrecognized income tax benefits, all of which would affect the Company’s effective tax rate if recognized. Gross unrecognized income tax benefits as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 exclude certain indirect favorable effects that relate to other tax jurisdictions of approximately $115.8 million and $103.9 million, respectively. In addition, the gross unrecognized income tax benefits as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 exclude certain deposits made in a foreign jurisdiction of approximately $26.2 million, net of $19.3 million refunds received, and $26.9 million, net of $19.7 million refunds received, respectively, associated with an ongoing audit.

At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $11.2 million and $9.9 million, respectively, of accrued or deferred taxes related to uncertain income tax positions connected with ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions that it expects to settle or pay in the next 12 months, reflected in “Other current liabilities” in the

Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had approximately $361.2 million and $344.2 million, respectively, of accrued taxes reflected in “Other noncurrent liabilities”, and approximately $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively, of deferred tax assets related to uncertain tax positions that it expects to settle or pay beyond 12 months, reflected in “Deferred tax assets” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company accrues interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $28.8 million and $27.9 million, respectively. Generally, tax years 2019 through 2023 remain open to examination by taxing authorities in the United States and certain other foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company and its subsidiaries are routinely examined by tax authorities in the United States and in various state, local and foreign jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2024, a number of income tax examinations in foreign jurisdictions are ongoing.

The Company maintains a valuation allowance to reserve against its net deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions. A valuation allowance is established when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The Company regularly assesses the likelihood that its deferred tax assets will be recovered from estimated future taxable income and available tax planning strategies and has determined that all adjustments to the valuation allowances have been appropriate. In making this assessment, all available evidence was considered including the current economic climate, as well as reasonable tax planning strategies. The Company believes it is more likely than not that the Company will realize its remaining net deferred tax assets, net of the valuation allowance, in future years.

In 2008 and 2012, as part of routine audits, 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 December 31, 2023 would have been approximately 131.5 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $27.1 million) and subject to significant interest and penalties. In the first quarter of 2023, the Brazilian government issued a “Litigation Zero” tax amnesty program, whereby cases being disputed at the administrative court level of review for a period of more than ten years could be considered for amnesty. Enrollment in the amnesty program was not considered an admission of guilt and allowed for outstanding contested cases to be settled at a significant monetary discount. The Company contested the disallowance and had been historically advised by its legal and tax advisors that its position was allowable under the tax laws of Brazil. After weighing various impacts involved with enrollment, including the avoidance of potential interest, penalties and legal costs, the Company enrolled in the program in the quarter ended March 31, 2023. The Company recorded approximately 182.6 million Brazilian reais (or approximately $34.8 million) within “Income tax provision” net of associated U.S. income tax credits of approximately $8.4 million and completed its installment payments related to its enrollment in the program during the year ended December 31, 2023.

  1. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

Net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost for the Company’s defined pension and postretirement benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 are set forth below (in millions):

Net periodic postretirement benefit cost$0.6$0.4

The components of net periodic pension and postretirement benefits cost, other than the service cost component, are included in “Other expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company made approximately $10.8 million of contributions to its defined pension benefit plans. The Company currently estimates its minimum contributions for 2024 to its defined pension benefit plans will aggregate approximately $29.2 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company made approximately $0.4 million of contributions to its postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans. The Company currently estimates that it will make approximately $1.7 million of contributions to its postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans during 2024.

  1. 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 categorizes its pension plan assets into one of the three levels of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company enters into foreign currency, commodity and interest rate swap contracts. The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments are determined using discounted cash flow valuation models. The significant inputs used in these models are readily available in public markets, or can be derived from observable market transactions, and therefore have been classified as Level 2. Inputs used in these discounted cash flow valuation models for derivative instruments include the applicable exchange rates, forward rates or interest rates. Such models used for option contracts also use implied volatility. See Note 10 for additional information on the Company’s derivative instruments and hedging activities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are summarized below (in millions):

The carrying amounts of long-term debt under the Company’s 1.002% EIB senior term loan due 2025, EIB senior term loans due 2029 and 2030 and senior term loans due between 2025 and 2028 approximate fair value based on the borrowing rates currently available to the Company for loans with similar terms and average maturities. At March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company's 0.800% senior notes due 2028, based on listed market values, was approximately €529.1 million (or approximately $570.7 million), compared to the carrying value of €600.0 million (or approximately $647.2 million). At March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company's 5.450% senior notes due 2027, based on listed market values, was approximately $402.0 million, compared to the carrying value of $400.0 million. At March 31, 2024, the estimated fair value of the Company's 5.800% senior notes due 2034, based on listed market values, was approximately $708.4 million, compared to the carrying value of $700.0 million. See Note 8 for additional information on the Company’s long-term debt.

  1. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases

Lease payment amounts for operating and finance leases with remaining terms greater than one year as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 were as follows (in millions):

(2) Calculated for each lease using either the implicit interest rate or the incremental borrowing rate when the implicit interest rate is not readily available.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Guarantees

At March 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding guarantees issued to its Argentine finance joint venture, AGCO Capital Argentina S.A. (“AGCO Capital”), of approximately $43.6 million. Such guarantees generally obligate the Company to repay outstanding finance obligations owed to AGCO Capital if end users default on such loans to the extent that, due to non-Credit Risk, the end users are not able, or not required, to pay their loans, or are required to pay in a different currency than the one agreed in their loan. The Company also has obligations to guarantee indebtedness owed to certain of its finance joint ventures if dealers or end users default on loans. Losses under such guarantees historically have been insignificant, and the guarantees are not material. The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material.

In addition, at March 31, 2024, the Company had accrued approximately $12.6 million of outstanding guarantees of residual values that may be owed to its finance joint ventures in the United States and Canada due upon expiration of certain eligible operating leases between the finance joint ventures and end users. The maximum potential amount of future payments under these guarantees is approximately $180.1 million.

Other

At March 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding designated and non-designated foreign exchange contracts with a gross notional amount of approximately $3,039.7 million. The outstanding contracts as of March 31, 2024 range in maturity through December 2024. The Company also had outstanding designated steel commodity contracts with a gross notional amount of approximately $1.6 million that range in maturity through June 2024.

The Company sells a majority of its wholesale receivables in North America, Europe and Brazil to its U.S., Canadian, European and Brazilian finance joint ventures. The Company also sells certain accounts receivable under factoring arrangements to financial institutions around the world. The Company accounts for the sale of such receivables as off-balance sheet transactions. Refer to Note 3 for discussion of the Company’s accounts receivable sales agreements.

Contingencies

During 2017, the Company purchased Precision Planting, which provides precision agricultural technology solutions. In 2018, Deere & Company (“Deere”) filed separate complaints in the U.S. District Court of Delaware against the Company and Precision Planting alleging that certain products of those entities infringed certain patents of Deere. The two complaints subsequently were consolidated into a single case, Case No. 1:18-cv-00827-CFC. In July 2022, the case was tried before a jury, which determined that the Company and Precision Planting had not infringed the Deere patents. Following customary post-trial procedures, the Court entered a judgement in the Company’s favor, and Deere appealed the judgment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The appeal is fully briefed and is awaiting oral arguments before the court. The Company has an indemnity right under the purchase agreement related to the acquisition of Precision Planting from its previous owner. Pursuant to that right, the previous owner of Precision Planting currently is responsible for the litigation costs associated with the complaint and is obligated to reimburse AGCO for some or all of the damages in the event of an adverse outcome in the litigation.

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, are material to its business or financial statements as a whole, including its results of operations and financial condition.

  1. REVENUE

Contract Liabilities

Contract liabilities relate to the following: (1) unrecognized revenues where payment of consideration precedes the Company’s performance with respect to extended warranty and maintenance contracts and where the performance obligation is satisfied over time, (2) unrecognized revenues where payment of consideration precedes the Company’s performance with respect to certain grain storage and protein production systems and where the performance obligation is satisfied over time and (3) unrecognized revenues where payment of consideration precedes the Company’s performance with respect to precision technology services and where the performance obligation is satisfied over time.

  1. SEGMENT REPORTING

The Company hasfour operating segments that are also its reportable segments, which consist of the North America, South America, Europe/Middle East and Asia/Pacific/Africa regions. The Company’s reportable segments are geography based and distribute a full range of agricultural machinery and precision agriculture technology. 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 generally charged to each segment based on the region and division where the expenses are incurred. As a result, the components of income from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 and assets as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 based on the Company’s reportable segments are as follows (in millions):
