AGCO REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
Fourth Quarter Sales of $2.2 Billion Produce Net Income per Share of $0.87
Full Year Earnings per Share of $2.29 — Up 59% over 2009

     DULUTH, GA — February 8 — AGCO, Your Agriculture Company (NYSE:AGCO), a worldwide manufacturer and distributor of agricultural equipment, reported net sales of approximately $2.2 billion for the fourth quarter of 2010, an increase of 18.7% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Reported net income was $0.87 per share, and adjusted net income, excluding restructuring and other infrequent expenses, was $0.88 per share. These results compare to reported net income of $0.35 per share and adjusted net income, excluding restructuring and other infrequent expenses, of $0.42 per share for the fourth quarter of 2009. Excluding unfavorable currency translation impacts of approximately 4.5%, net sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 increased 23.2% compared to the same period in 2009.

     Net sales for the full year of 2010 were approximately $6.9 billion, an increase of approximately 5.8% compared to the full year of 2009. Excluding the favorable impact of currency translation of approximately 0.3%, net sales for the full year of 2010 increased approximately 5.6% compared to 2009. For the full year of 2010, reported net income was $2.29 per share and adjusted net income, excluding restructuring and other infrequent expenses, was $2.32 per share. These results compare to reported net income of $1.44 per share and adjusted net income, excluding restructuring and other infrequent expenses, of $1.55 per share for the full year of 2009.

     “AGCO finished 2010 with a robust fourth quarter performance highlighted by strong sales growth and margin expansion,” stated Martin Richenhagen, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Improving order flow along with increased production levels in our North American and European factories resulted in strong revenue and margin improvement in those regions in the fourth quarter. This improvement drove sales growth of over 20%, excluding currency translation impacts, with operating margins doubling to 6.6% in the fourth quarter. In 2009, our focus was on reducing inventory. As we finished 2010, with company and dealer inventories at targeted levels, we efficiently increased production and are well positioned to take advantage of 2011 market opportunities.”

     “Throughout the year, we managed our working capital carefully and generated over $270 million of free cash flow for the full year of 2010,” continued Mr. Richenhagen. “AGCO’s strong balance sheet enables us to make important investments in our business. In 2010, we

CHALLENGER • FENDT • MASSEY FERGUSON • VALTRA

increased our research and development efforts by approximately 14% compared to 2009, focusing on new products and new engine technology. During December 2010, we expanded our high margin replacement parts business with the purchase of Sparex Holdings, Ltd. in Europe for approximately $85 million. In early 2011, we will complete two previously announced acquisitions which will bolster our European combine business and provide advanced air-seeding products to our distribution network. AGCO’s solid financial position and ability to generate cash will allow us to increase our strategic investments in 2011.”

     AGCO’s North American region reported a sales increase in the fourth quarter of 2010 of approximately 47.3% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, excluding favorable currency translation impacts. Increased sales of combines, tractors and sprayers contributed to higher sales in the North American region. Europe/Africa/Middle East (EAME) sales in the fourth quarter of 2010 increased approximately 28.9% compared to the same period in 2009, excluding unfavorable currency translation impacts. The increase was supported by stabilizing Western European industry conditions in the fourth quarter of 2010. AGCO’s South American region reported a sales increase of approximately 0.9% in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to the elevated levels in the fourth quarter of 2009, excluding favorable currency translation impacts. Industry demand increased in Argentina during the fourth quarter of 2010 but declined in Brazil compared to the fourth quarter of 2009.

     In the fourth quarter of 2010, income from operations grew to $142.4 million, an increase of nearly 200% compared to the fourth quarter of 2009. Gross margins were 18.9% in the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to 14.6% in the fourth quarter of 2009. The margin improvement was driven by higher production, improved mix and pricing benefits. Income from operations for the full year of 2010 increased approximately $105.5 million compared to the full year of 2009, primarily due to improved margins partially offset by higher engineering expenses to support new product development and tier 4 engine emission upgrades.

Market Update

			Change from				Change from
Year ended December 31, 2010			Prior Year Period				Prior Year Period
North America				+ 5	%			+ 9	%
South America				+ 31	%			+ 29	%
Western Europe				(10	%)			(34	%)

     North America

     Industry unit retail sales of tractors increased modestly in North America for the full year of 2010, compared to the full year of 2009. Strong growth in high horsepower tractors was partially offset by a small decline in utility tractors. Robust economics for the professional farming segment contributed to the strength in retail sales of high horsepower tractors and combines. Softness in the dairy and livestock sectors contributed to lower industry unit retail sales of mid-range tractors and hay equipment, which both declined compared to the full year of 2009.

     South America

     For the full year of 2010, industry unit retail sales of tractors in South America grew sharply compared to the same period in 2009. Strong farm fundamentals and favorable government financing programs in Brazil contributed to the strong industry demand, which began to decelerate in the second half of 2010.

     Western Europe

     Industry unit retail tractor sales were down approximately 10% in Western Europe during the full year of 2010 compared to the prior year, but did stabilize during the second half of 2010. The slow pace of macro-economic recovery, weak farmer sentiment and soft demand in the dairy and livestock sectors contributed to the decline in 2010. Industry unit retail tractor sales declines were most pronounced in France, Spain, Italy and the United Kingdom in the full year of 2010 compared to 2009.

     “Year-end global stocks of food crops are at low levels and demand for soft commodities is growing,” stated Mr. Richenhagen. “Elevated crop prices are driving profitable farm economics and incentivizing farmers to invest to increase their production capabilities. Western European farm equipment demand is expected to strengthen in 2011 due to improved farmer profitability for grain and dairy producers. In North America, higher levels of farm income are projected to maintain demand for large tractors and combines. Farm economics remain strong in Brazil, but equipment demand in 2011 is expected to soften due to less generous financing subsidies. We are optimistic regarding the long-term potential of our industry resulting from favorable trends in demand for soft commodities, which should support crop prices and farmer profitability.”

     North America

     AGCO’s sales in North America increased modestly in the full year of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Healthy economics for row crop farmers generated increased sales of sprayers, combines and parts which were offset by declines in sales of hay and forage equipment and utility tractors. Income from operations of approximately $49.5 million for the full year of 2010 increased approximately $27.6 million compared to the full year of 2009. Improved margins from new products, favorable mix and factory efficiencies were partially offset by higher engineering costs. Higher sales and improved operating margins in the second half of 2010 offset declines experienced in the first half of the year.

     South America

     For the full year of 2010, AGCO’s South American sales increased 36.2% compared to the same period in 2009, excluding the impact of favorable currency translation. Record levels of industry demand in Brazil and improved crop production in Argentina produced the robust sales growth. Income from operations increased approximately $97.1 million for the full year of 2010 compared to 2009. Sales growth, improved factory productivity and a richer product mix in Brazil led to the increase in income from operations.

     EAME

     Weak market conditions, primarily in Western Europe, resulted in modest sales declines in AGCO’s EAME region for the full year of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. AGCO experienced the largest sales declines in France, Germany and Africa partially offset by sales growth in Poland and Finland. Income from operations declined by approximately $17.3 million in the full year of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. Reduced sales, lower production and increased engineering expenses contributed to the decline.

     Rest of World

     Net sales in AGCO’s Rest of World segment declined by approximately 7.3% during the full year of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, excluding the favorable impact of currency translation. Lower sales in Australia and New Zealand were partially offset by higher sales in China and Asia. Income from operations in the Rest of World region decreased approximately $4.2 million in the full year of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due primarily to weaker sales and increased expenses related to growth initiatives.

Outlook

     Worldwide industry demand is expected to be flat or to increase modestly in 2011 compared to 2010 levels. Higher crop prices for grain and dairy farmers in Western Europe and improving farmer sentiment are expected to generate modest growth in the Western European market. In North America, industry sales are expected to be flat in 2011 compared to the high level experienced in 2010. The strong financial position of row crop farmers and the expectation of farm income above historical averages is expected to support demand from the professional

farming sector. Strong farm fundamentals are expected to continue in Brazil in 2011. However, less attractive government financing programs are expected to result in a softening of demand as compared to the record demand of 2010.

     AGCO is targeting adjusted earnings per share, excluding restructuring and other infrequent expenses, in the range from $2.50 to $2.75 for the full year of 2011. Net sales are expected to range from $7.6 billion to $7.9 billion. Gross margin improvements are expected to be partially offset by higher expenses for new product and new market development.

Safe Harbor Statement

Statements that are not historical facts, including the projections of earnings per share, sales, market conditions, margin improvements, profitability, inventory levels, benefits from inventory reduction and productivity initiatives, impact of acquisitions, industry demand, general economic conditions, global food demand and diet trends, commodity prices, farm economics and productivity, pension costs and engineering and restructuring expenses, are forward-looking and subject to risks that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the statements. The following are among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results discussed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. Further information concerning these and other factors is included in AGCO’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009. AGCO disclaims any obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law.

	•		Our financial results depend entirely upon the agricultural industry, and factors that adversely affect the agricultural industry generally, including declines in the general economy, increases in farm input costs, lower commodity prices, lower farm income and changes in the availability of credit for our retail customers, will adversely affect us.
	•		The recent poor performance of the general economy may result in a decline in demand for our products. However, we are unable to predict with accuracy the amount or duration of this decline, and our forward-looking statements reflect merely our best estimates at the current time.

	•		A majority of our sales and manufacturing take place outside of the United States, and, as a result, we are exposed to risks related to foreign laws, taxes, economic conditions, labor supply and relations, political conditions and governmental policies. These risks may delay or reduce our realization of value from our international operations.
	•		Most retail sales of the products that we manufacture are financed, either by our retail finance joint ventures with Rabobank or by a bank or other private lender. During 2010, our joint ventures with Rabobank, which are controlled by Rabobank and are dependent upon Rabobank for financing as well, financed approximately 50% of the retail sales of our tractors and combines in the markets where the joint ventures operate. Any difficulty by Rabobank to continue to provide that financing, or any business decision by Rabobank as the controlling member not to fund the business or particular aspects of it (for example, a particular country or region), would require the joint ventures to find other sources of financing (which may be difficult to obtain), or us to find another source of retail financing for our customers, or our customers would be required to utilize other retail financing providers. As a result of the ongoing economic downturn, financing for capital equipment purchases generally has become more difficult and expensive to obtain. To the extent that financing is not available or available only at unattractive prices, our sales would be negatively impacted.
	•		Both AGCO and our retail finance joint ventures have substantial accounts receivables from dealers and end customers, and we would be adversely impacted if the collectability of these receivables was not consistent with historical experience; this collectability is dependent upon the financial strength of the farm industry, which in turn is dependent upon the general economy and commodity prices, as well as several of the other factors listed in this section.
	•		We recently have experienced substantial and sustained volatility with respect to currency exchange rate and interest rate changes, which can adversely affect our reported results of operations and the competitiveness of our products.
	•		We are subject to extensive environmental laws and regulations, and our compliance with, or our failure to comply with, existing or future laws and regulations could delay production of our products or otherwise adversely affect our business.
	•		We have significant pension obligations with respect to our employees, and our available cash flow may be adversely affected in the event that payments become due under any pension plans that are unfunded or underfunded. Declines in the market value of the securities used to fund these obligations result in increased pension expense in future periods.
	•		The agricultural equipment industry is highly seasonal, and seasonal fluctuations significantly impact results of operations and cash flows.
	•		Our success depends on the introduction of new products, particularly engines that comply with emission requirements, which requires substantial expenditures.

	•		We depend on suppliers for raw materials, components and parts for our products, and any failure by our suppliers to provide products as needed, or by us to promptly address supplier issues, will adversely impact our ability to timely and efficiently manufacture and sell products. We also are subject to raw material price fluctuations, which can adversely affect our manufacturing costs.
	•		We face significant competition and, if we are unable to compete successfully against other agricultural equipment manufacturers, we would lose customers and our net sales and profitability would decline.
	•		We have a substantial amount of indebtedness, and as result, we are subject to certain restrictive covenants and payment obligations that may adversely affect our ability to operate and expand our business.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited, in millions, except per share data)

1.		DECONSOLIDATION OF JOINT VENTURE

     On January 1, 2010, the Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2009-17, “Consolidations (Topic 810): Improvements to Financial Reporting by Enterprises Involved with Variable Interest Entities” (“ASU 2009-17”), and performed a qualitative analysis of all its joint ventures, including its GIMA joint venture, to determine whether it had a controlling financial interest in such ventures. As a result of this analysis, the Company determined that its GIMA joint venture should no longer be consolidated into the Company’s results of operations or financial position as the Company does not have a controlling financial interest in GIMA based on the shared powers of both joint venture partners to direct the activities that most significantly impact GIMA’s financial performance. GIMA is a joint venture between AGCO and Claas Tractor SAS to cooperate in the field of purchasing, design and manufacturing of components for agricultural tractors. Each party has a 50% ownership interest in the joint venture and has an investment of approximately €4.2 million in the joint venture. Both parties purchase all of the production output of the joint venture. The deconsolidation of GIMA resulted in a retroactive reduction to “Noncontrolling interests” within equity and an increase to “Investments in affiliates” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2009 of approximately $6.4 million. The deconsolidation resulted in a retroactive reduction in the Company’s “Net sales” and “Income from Operations” within its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and a reclassification of amounts previously reported as “Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests” to “Equity in net earnings of affiliates,” but otherwise had no net impact to the Company’s consolidated net income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009. In addition, the deconsolidation also resulted in a reduction of the Company’s “Total assets” and “Total liabilities” within its Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but had no net impact to the Company’s “Total stockholders’ equity” other than the reduction previously mentioned. The Company retroactively restated prior periods and recorded the following adjustments:

     During 2009 and 2010, the Company announced and initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities located in France, Finland, Germany and the United States, as well as at various administrative offices located in the United Kingdom, Spain and the United States. The Company also announced the closure of its combine assembly operations in Randers, Denmark in 2009. During 2010, the Company recorded restructuring and other infrequent expenses of approximately $4.4 million, primarily related to severance and other related costs associated with the Company’s rationalization of its operations in Denmark, Spain, Finland and France. During 2009, the Company recorded restructuring and other infrequent expenses of approximately $13.2 million, primarily related to severance and other related costs associated with the Company’s rationalization of its operations in France, the United Kingdom, Finland, Germany, the United States and Denmark.

4.		INDEBTEDNESS

     Indebtedness at December 31, 2010 and 2009 consisted of the following:

		December 31,				December 31,
		2010				2009
6⅞ % Senior subordinated notes due 2014		$	267.7			$	286.5
13/4% Convertible senior subordinated notes due 2033			161.0				193.0
11/4% Convertible senior subordinated notes due 2036			175.2				167.5
Securitization facilities			113.9				—
Other long-term debt			0.2				0.1
			718.0				647.1
Less: Current portion of long-term debt			(0.1	)			(0.1	)
13/4% Convertible senior subordinated notes due 2033			(161.0	)			(193.0	)
Securitization facilities			(113.9	)			—
Total indebtedness, less current portion		$	443.0			$	454.0

     Holders of the Company’s 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2033 and 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2036 may convert the notes, if, during any fiscal quarter, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock exceeds, respectively, 120% of the conversion price of $22.36 per share for the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes and $40.73 per share for the 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes, for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock had exceeded 120% of the conversion price of the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and, therefore, the Company classified the notes as a current liability. In accordance with ASU 2009-04, “Accounting for Redeemable Equity Instruments,” the Company also classified the equity component of the 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes as

“temporary equity” as of December 31, 2009. The amount classified as “temporary equity” was measured as the excess of (a) the amount of cash that would be required to be paid upon conversion over (b) the current carrying amount of the liability-classified component. As of December 31, 2010, the amount of cash required to be repaid upon conversion of the 1 ³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes was equivalent to the carrying amount of the liability-classified component. Future classification of both series of notes between current and long-term debt and classification of the equity component of the 1¹/4% convertible senior subordinated notes as “temporary equity” is dependent on the closing sales price of the Company’s common stock during future quarters.

     During 2010, the Company repurchased approximately $37.5 million of principal amount of its 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes plus accrued interest for approximately $58.1 million. The repurchase included approximately $21.1 million associated with the excess conversion value of the notes and resulted in a loss on extinguishment of approximately $0.2 million reflected in “interest expense, net.” The Company reflected both the repurchase of the principal and the excess conversion value of the notes totaling $58.1 million within “Repurchase or conversion of convertible senior subordinated notes” within the Company’s Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2010. In addition, during 2010, holders of the Company’s 1³/4% convertible senior subordinated notes converted $2.7 million of principal amount of the notes. The Company issued 60,986 shares associated with the $2.7 million excess conversion value of the notes. The loss on extinguishment associated with the conversions of the notes was less than $0.1 million and was reflected in “Interest expense, net”. The Company reflected the repayment of the principal of the notes totaling $2.7 million within “Repurchase or conversion of convertible senior subordinated notes” within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2010.

5.		INVENTORIES

     Inventories at December 31, 2010 and 2009 were as follows:

6.		ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE SALES AGREEMENTS AND SECURITIZATION FACILITIES

     At December 31, 2010, the Company’s accounts receivable securitization facilities in Europe had outstanding funding of approximately €85.1 million (or approximately $113.9 million). In accordance with ASU 2009-16, “Transfers and Servicing (Topic 860): Accounting for Transfers of Financial Assets” and ASU 2009-17, the Company recognized approximately $113.9 million of accounts receivable sold through its European securitization facilities within the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2010, with a corresponding liability equivalent to the funded balance of the facility.

     At December 31, 2010, the Company had accounts receivable sales agreements that permit the sale, on an ongoing basis, of substantially all of its wholesale interest-bearing and non-interest bearing receivables in North America to AGCO Finance LLC and AGCO Finance Canada, Ltd., its 49% owned U.S. and Canadian retail finance joint ventures. As of December 31, 2010, net cash received from

receivables sold under the U.S. and Canadian accounts receivable sales agreements was approximately $375.9 million.

     Losses on sales of receivables associated with the accounts receivable financing facilities discussed above, reflected within “Other expense, net” and “Interest expense, net” in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, were approximately $4.6 million and $16.1 million during the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, respectively. Losses on sales of receivables primarily from the Company’s European securitization facilities and former U.S. and Canadian securitization facilities were approximately $3.8 million and $15.6 million during the three months and year ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

     The Company’s AGCO Finance retail finance joint ventures in Europe, Brazil and Australia also provide wholesale financing to the Company’s dealers. The receivables associated with these arrangements are without recourse to the Company. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, these retail finance joint ventures had approximately $221.8 million and $176.9 million, respectively, of outstanding accounts receivable associated with these arrangements. In addition, the Company sells certain trade receivables under factoring arrangements to other financial institutions around the world.

7.		EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes provide for (i) the settlement upon conversion in cash up to the principal amount of the converted notes with any excess conversion value settled in shares of the Company’s common stock, and (ii) the conversion rate to be increased under certain circumstances if the notes are converted in connection with certain change of control transactions. Dilution of weighted shares outstanding will depend on the Company’s stock price for the excess conversion value using the treasury stock method. A reconciliation of net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries and weighted average common shares outstanding for purposes of calculating basic and diluted earnings per share for the three months and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 is as follows:

		Three Months Ended December 31,								Years Ended December 31,
		2010				2009				2010				2009
Basic net income per share:
Net income attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries		$	85.2			$	33.5			$	220.5			$	135.7
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding			93.0				92.3				92.8				92.2

Diluted net income per share attributable to AGCO Corporation and subsidiaries		$	0.87			$	0.35			$	2.29			$	1.44

8.		SEGMENT REPORTING

     Effective January 1, 2010, the Company modified its system of reporting, resulting from changes to its internal management and organizational structure over the past year, which changed its reportable segments from North America; South America; Europe/Africa/Middle East; and Asia/Pacific to North America; South America; Europe/Africa/Middle East; and Rest of World. The Rest of World reportable segment includes the regions of Eastern Europe, Asia, Australia and New Zealand, and the Europe/Africa/ Middle East segment no longer includes certain markets in Eastern Europe. Effective January 1, 2010, these reportable segments are reflective of how the Company’s chief operating decision maker reviews operating results for the purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance. Disclosures for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009 have been adjusted to reflect the change in reportable segments.

     The Company’s four reportable segments distribute a full range of agricultural equipment and related replacement parts. The Company evaluates segment performance primarily based on income from operations. Sales for each segment are based on the location of the third-party customer. The Company’s selling, general and administrative expenses and engineering expenses are charged to each segment based on the region and division where the expenses are incurred. As a result, the components of income from operations for one segment may not be comparable to another segment. Segment results for the three months and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are as follows:

Three Months Ended		North				South				Europe/Africa/Middle
December 31,		America				America				East				Rest of World				Consolidated
