Financial Highlights <ul><li>Net sales: $10,082.0 million, a decrease of 13.5% from 2024, primarily due to lower sales volumes and the divestiture of the majority of the Company's Grain &amp; Protein business.</li><li>Gross profit: $2,566.8 million, representing 25.5% of net sales, an increase as a percentage of net sales due to lower manufacturing costs.</li><li>Income (loss) from operations: $595.7 million, compared to $(122.1) million in 2024, reflecting decreases in restructuring and business optimization expenses and SG&amp;A expenses.</li><li>Net income (loss) attributable to AGCO Corporation: $726.5 million, compared to $(424.8) million in 2024, driven by improved operating income and a favorable income tax provision.</li><li>Diluted EPS: $9.75, compared to $(5.69) in 2024, reflecting the significant improvement in net income.</li></ul> Business Highlights <ul><li>Revenue Segments: AGCO's product lines include high horsepower tractors, utility or mid-range tractors, compact tractors, combines, hay tools and forage equipment, planters, implements, precision agriculture solutions, application equipment, replacement parts, and grain storage and protein production systems. Tractors accounted for the largest share of net sales, with high horsepower tractors being the most significant contributor.</li><li>Geographical Performance: In 2025, net sales in the Europe/Middle East region increased slightly due to favorable foreign currency translation, despite a decline in sales volumes. North America experienced a significant decrease in net sales, primarily due to declines in high-horsepower tractors and other equipment. South America saw a decrease in net sales due to volume declines and negative pricing impacts. The Asia/Pacific/Africa region also faced a decline in net sales, mainly due to reduced sales volumes.</li><li>Sales Units: The unit sales of tractors and combines decreased by approximately 5.6% in 2025 compared to 2024, driven by changes in end market demand.</li><li>New Product Launches: In 2025, AGCO launched FarmENGAGE, a mixed fleet digital platform designed to integrate with existing PTx Trimble technology and support interoperability with non-AGCO fleets. Additionally, new Outrun autonomous solutions for tillage and fertilization were unveiled, expanding the company's autonomous capabilities.</li><li>Operational Excellence: AGCO continued its restructuring program in 2025, focusing on reducing structural costs, streamlining the workforce, and enhancing global efficiencies. This included reimagining business operations with efficiency initiatives and structural changes.</li><li>Future Outlook: AGCO expects global industry demand for farm equipment to remain relatively flat in 2026 compared to 2025. However, net sales are anticipated to modestly increase due to positive pricing, favorable currency translation, and sales mix improvements. Operating margins are expected to benefit from higher net sales and continued cost controls.</li></ul> Strategic Initiatives <ul><li>Strategic Initiatives: AGCO Corporation has undertaken strategic initiatives to optimize its portfolio by forming the PTx Trimble joint venture and divesting the majority of its Grain &amp; Protein business. This shift is aimed at focusing on core agricultural machinery and precision agriculture technologies. The company is also actively exploring opportunities to mitigate increased costs due to tariffs and trade policy uncertainties.</li><li>Capital Management: AGCO has a robust capital management strategy, including a $1.25 billion multi-currency unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in 2027, with no outstanding borrowings as of December 31, 2025. The company also has an uncommitted revolving credit facility of €200 million. In 2025, AGCO repurchased $250 million of its common stock through accelerated share repurchase agreements and declared dividends of $1.16 per share. The company issued $400 million of 5.450% Senior Notes due 2027 and $700 million of 5.800% Senior Notes due 2034, which are guaranteed by its subsidiaries.</li><li>Future Outlook: AGCO expects global industry demand for farm equipment to remain relatively flat in 2026, with modest increases in net sales driven by positive pricing, favorable currency translation, and sales mix. The company plans to maintain its focus on cost controls and manage tariff headwinds. AGCO aims to continue its strategic focus on core agricultural technologies and explore further capital investments to support sustainable growth.</li></ul> Challenges and Risks <ul><li>Market and Economic Risks: AGCO Corporation faces significant challenges due to its reliance on the agricultural industry, which is inherently cyclical and influenced by factors such as farm income, commodity prices, and weather conditions. The company's operations are heavily dependent on international markets, exposing it to risks related to foreign laws, tariffs, taxes, and economic conditions. The recent geopolitical tensions, particularly in Ukraine, and trade policy changes, including tariffs on steel and aluminum, have created uncertainties that could impact AGCO's sales and cost structures.</li><li>Operational Risks: AGCO's financial performance is highly sensitive to market, economic, and geopolitical risks. The agricultural equipment industry is cyclical, and downturns can lead to decreased demand for AGCO's products. The company is also exposed to risks related to the availability of financing for its customers, which is critical for sales. AGCO's operations outside the United States subject it to foreign regulatory and political risks, which may delay or reduce the realization of value from international operations. The company faces significant competition from larger and more resourceful competitors, which could impact its market share and profitability. Additionally, AGCO's expansion plans in emerging markets entail risks related to governmental approvals, supply chain establishment, and market acceptance.</li><li>Inflation and Supply Chain Risks: Inflationary pressures have previously impacted AGCO's costs, and while inflation has eased, there is no assurance that the company can continue to pass these costs onto customers. The introduction of new technologies, particularly in precision agriculture, involves risks, and failure to deliver effective solutions could adversely affect AGCO's performance. Supply chain disruptions, particularly in the availability of components and raw materials, pose operational risks that could impact production and sales.</li><li>Management Strategies: AGCO's management has identified the need to focus on operational efficiencies to build a more resilient business. The company has initiated a restructuring program to reduce structural costs and enhance global efficiencies. AGCO is also investing in precision agriculture technologies to remain competitive and meet the evolving needs of farmers. However, the success of these initiatives depends on various factors, including market acceptance and the ability to integrate new technologies effectively.</li><li>Market Risk Management: AGCO is exposed to substantial currency exchange rate and interest rate volatility, which can affect its production costs, profit margins, and competitive position. The company attempts to manage these risks through hedging strategies, but there are inherent risks associated with such financial instruments. Additionally, AGCO's operations in countries with restrictive foreign exchange policies, such as Argentina, pose risks related to fund transfers and currency devaluation, which could adversely impact financial performance.</li></ul>SEC Filing: AGCO CORP /DE [ AGCO ] - 10-K - Feb. 13, 2026</div></div>
