AGCO, a global leader in the design, manufacture and distribution of agricultural machinery and precision ag technology, reported net sales of $2.6 billion for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of 18.8% compared to the second quarter of 2024. The second quarter of 2024 included other revenue of $290.5 million which represents revenue from the Company's divestiture of the majority of its Grain & Protein business as shown in the regional net sales table. Reported net income was $4.22 per share for the quarter and adjusted net income(1) was $1.35 per share. These results compare to reported net loss of $(4.92) per share and adjusted net income(1) of $2.53 per share for the second quarter of 2024. Excluding favorable foreign currency translation of 3.5%, net sales in the quarter decreased 22.3% compared to the second quarter of 2024.
AGCO achieved solid second-quarter results with deliberate execution in the areas we can control despite a challenging global agricultural environment marked by weak farm economics and delayed purchasing decisions in several parts of the world," said Eric Hansotia, Chairman, President and CEO. "Our strong earnings and cash flow generation illustrate meaningful progress in reducing dealer and company inventories through aggressive production cuts. Operating margins benefited from disciplined cost control and continued implementation of our restructuring initiatives. Demand for our premium brands remains resilient, supported by growing interest in precision agriculture and sustainable technologies."
Hansotia continued, "The global trade landscape has become increasingly complex, with uncertainty surrounding trade negotiations impacting farmer confidence and investment decisions, particularly in North America and Europe. AGCO is closely monitoring these developments and remains focused on operational agility, supply chain resilience and executing our Farmer-First strategy."
