Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The future payments required under the Company’s significant commitments, excluding indebtedness, as of December 31, 2024 are as follows (in millions): Interest payments on indebtedness – The Company expects to make interest payments of approximately $118.0 million during the year ending December 31, 2025 related to indebtedness outstanding as of December 31, 2024. Indebtedness amounts reflect the principal amount of the Company’s EIB senior term loans, senior notes, senior term loans, credit facility and certain short-term borrowings, gross of any debt issuance costs. The projected amount of interest payments includes assumptions regarding the future fluctuations in interest rates, as well as borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and other variable debt instruments. The amounts provided relate only to existing debt obligations and do not assume the refinancing or replacement of such debt. Refer to Note 12 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding indebtedness. Unconditional purchase obligations – As of December 31, 2024, the Company had approximately $114.5 million of outstanding purchase obligations payable during the year ending December 31, 2025. The Company's unconditional purchase obligations are primarily payable within 12 months. Other short-term and long-term obligations – As of December 31, 2024, the Company has approximately $9.3 million of income tax liabilities related to uncertain income tax provisions connected with ongoing income tax audits in various jurisdictions that it expects to pay or settle within the next 12 months. These liabilities and related income tax audits are subject to statutory expiration. Additionally, we currently expect that we will contribute $2.5 million to our non-U.S. defined benefit pension and postretirement plans due during the year ending December 31, 2025. The timing and amounts of future contributions are dependent upon the funding status of the plans, which is expected to vary as a result of changes in interest rates, returns on underlying assets, and other factors. Refer to Notes 19 and 20 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Company’s uncertain tax positions and pension and postretirement benefit plans, respectively. These obligations comprise a majority of the Company’s other short-term and long-term obligations. Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements Guarantees At December 31, 2024, the Company had outstanding guarantees issued to its Argentine finance joint venture, AGCO Capital Argentina S.A. (“AGCO Capital”) of approximately $64.0 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. The Company believes the credit risk associated with these guarantees is not material. In addition, at December 31, 2024, the Company accrued approximately $12.7 million of outstanding guarantees of residual values that may be owed to its finance joint ventures in the United States and Canada upon expiration of certain eligible operating leases between the finance joint ventures and end users. The maximum potential amount of future payments under the guarantees is approximately $203.2 million. Other 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 5 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. On January 24, 2025, the Court ruled in favor of the Company and Precision Planting. The case remains subject to the right of Deere to file for a writ of certiorari from the U.S. Supreme 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, is material to its business or financial statements as a whole, including its results of operations and financial condition.
