AGCO's net sales increased 56% for the second quarter and 52% for the first six months of 2004 primarily due to the acquisition of Valtra Valtra is a Finnish based manufacturer of tractors owned by the AGCO Corporation. Valtra traces its origin to Valmet, Bolinder, Munktell and Volvo. Bolinder-Munktell merged with Volvo in 1950 to form BM Volvo. in January January: see month. 2004, sales growth in each of the Company's geographical segments and positive currency translation impacts. Excluding Valtra, which generated net sales of approximately $280.8 million in the second quarter and $506.0 million in the first six months, the consolidation of the GIMA transmission joint venture and the impact of currency translation, net sales increased 18.0% for the second quarter and 11.5% for the first six months compared to 2003. Stronger retail demand, particularly in North America North America, third largest continent (1990 est. pop. 365,000,000), c.9,400,000 sq mi (24,346,000 sq km), the northern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. and South America South America, fourth largest continent (1991 est. pop. 299,150,000), c.6,880,000 sq mi (17,819,000 sq km), the southern of the two continents of the Western Hemisphere. , and positive response to new products contributed to the sales growth.

Operating income in AGCO's South America operations increased $25.4 million in the quarter and $47.6 million in the first six months due to the addition of Valtra as well as increased sales and production volumes resulting in improved margins. In Europe/Africa/Middle East region, operating income increased $19.8 million in the second quarter and $15.8 million for first six months due primarily to the addition of Valtra as well as currency translation benefits.

Operating income in North America was $0.6 million lower for the second quarter and $4.2 million lower for the first six months where the impact of higher sales volume was offset by reduced margins due to the impact of the strong Euro on products sourced from European production facilities and higher steel costs. AGCO's Asia/Pacific region achieved increased operating income in 2004 of $5.0 million for the second quarter and $8.9 million for the first six months primarily resulting from improved market conditions in key markets. AGCO's adjusted operating income was also negatively impacted by additional non-cash amortization of purchased intangibles resulting from the Valtra acquisition of $3.4 million for the quarter and $7.0 million for the first six months. Reported operating income and net income for the second quarter and first six months also improved in 2004 compared to 2003 due to lower restructuring and other infrequent expenses in 2004. Regional Market Results North America - Industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first six months of 2004 increased approximately 11% over the comparable prior year period resulting from increases in all tractor tractor, in agriculture, vehicle used to pull such equipment as plows, cultivators, and mowers; to power stationary devices such as saws and winches; and to push snowplows and earth-moving implements. segments. Industry unit retail sales of combines were approximately 27% higher than the prior year. AGCO's unit retail sales of tractors and combines were also higher in the first six months of 2004 over 2003. Western Europe Western Europe The countries of western Europe, especially those that are allied with the United States and Canada in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (established 1949 and usually known as NATO). - Industry unit retail sales of tractors for the first six months of 2004 increased approximately 4% over the comparable prior period. Retail sales improved in the second quarter in most major markets offsetting first quarter declines. Including the impact of Valtra sales in both periods, AGCO's unit retail sales for the first six months of 2004 also increased when compared to the prior year period. South America - Industry unit retail sales of tractors in the first six months of 2004 increased approximately 3% over the prior year. Tractor demand increased moderately in the largest market of Brazil Brazil (brəzĭl`), Port. Brasil, officially Federative Republic of Brazil, republic (2005 est. pop. 186,113,000), 3,286,470 sq mi (8,511,965 sq km), E South America. with more significant increases in Argentina Argentina (ärjəntē`nə, Span. ärhāntē`nä), officially Argentine Republic, republic (2005 est. pop. 39,538,000), 1,072,157 sq mi (2,776,889 sq km), S South America. and other South American American, river, 30 mi (48 km) long, rising in N central Calif. in the Sierra Nevada and flowing SW into the Sacramento River at Sacramento. The discovery of gold at Sutter's Mill (see Sutter, John Augustus) along the river in 1848 led to the California gold rush of markets. Industry retail sales of combines for the six months were 40% higher than the prior year, with significant increases in both Brazil and Argentina. Including the impact of Valtra sales in both periods, AGCO's South American unit retail sales of tractors and combines also increased significantly in the first six months of 2004 compared to the same period in 2003. Rest of World Markets - Outside of North America, Western Europe and South America, AGCO's net sales for the first six months of 2004, excluding Valtra, were relatively flat. "Worldwide market conditions continue to remain favorable fa·vor·a·ble adj. 1. Advantageous; helpful: favorable winds. 2. Encouraging; propitious: a favorable diagnosis. 3. in 2004," stated Mr. Richenhagen. "For the balance of the year, we expect North America to remain strong due to high commodity prices and tax incentives, Western Europe to show modest improvement over 2003 which was impacted by the drought drought, abnormally long period of insufficient rainfall. Drought cannot be defined in terms of inches of rainfall or number of days without rain, since it is determined by such variable factors as the distribution in time and area of precipitation during and before and South America to be level with the prior year as subsidized financing Subsidized financing Funding provided by a government or other entity that is available at a below-market interest rate. programs remain in place. In addition, we expect strong retail sales results in each region supported by favorable markets and continued positive response to our new products." Outlook AGCO expects net sales for the full year 2004 to be approximately 45% above 2003 primarily due to the addition of Valtra, improved market conditions and the impact of currency translation. For the full year of 2004, adjusted earnings per share is expected to increase by approximately 40% to 45% over 2003 from the achievement of sales growth and margin improvement. Adjusted earnings per share in 2003 was $1.25 per share. Reported earnings per share is expected to increase by approximately 65% to 70% due the reduction of restructuring and other infrequent expenses incurred in 2003 related to plant closures. For the third quarter of 2004, AGCO expects to improve adjusted earnings per share by approximately 35% to 45% over 2003. Third quarter earnings are expected to benefit from continued sales and margin improvement. Adjusted earnings per share for the third quarter of 2003 was $0.24 per share. Reported earnings per share for the third quarter of 2004 is expected to be approximately 35% higher than 2003. Safe Harbor Safe Harbor 1.

The write-down of property, plant and equipment represents the impairment of machinery and equipment resulting from the facility closure and was based on the estimated fair value of the assets compared to their carrying value. The estimated fair value of the equipment was determined based on current conditions in the market. The severance The act of dividing, or the state of being divided. The term severance has unique meanings in different branches of the law. Courts use the term in both civil and criminal litigation in two ways: first, when dividing a lawsuit into two or more parts, and second, when costs relate to the termination of 1,051 employees.

Notes: An operating lease is not capitalized it is accounted for as a rental expense. terminations and other facility exit costs. During the fourth quarter of 2003, the Company sold machinery and equipment at auction and as a result of those sales, recognized a net gain of approximately $2.0 million. This gain was reflected in "Restructuring and other infrequent expenses" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 2003. On January 30, 2004, the Company sold the land, buildings and improvements of the Coventry facility for approximately $41 million, and as a result of that sale, recognized a net gain of approximately $6.9 million. This gain was reflected in "Restructuring and other infrequent expenses in the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the first quarter of 2004. The Company received approximately $34.4 million of the sale proceeds on January 30, 2004, with the remainder to be paid on January 30, 2005. The Company is leasing part of the facility back from the buyers for a period of three years, with the ability to exit the lease within two years from the date of the sale. In the second quarter of 2004, the Company reversed approximately $0.6 million of provisions related to the restructuring that had been previously established. The reversals were necessary to reflect current estimates of remaining obligations related to retention payments, lease termination payouts and other exit costs. In addition, the Company completed the auctions of remaining machinery and equipment, as well as finalized See finalization. the sale of the facility (and associated selling costs) during the second quarter of 2004, which resulted in an additional $1.4 million net gain related to such actions. The net gain was reflected in "Restructuring and other infrequent expenses" in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations. The $1.1 million of restructuring costs accrued at June 30, 2004 are expected to be incurred during 2004. In October October: see month. 2002, the Company applied to the High Court in London London, city, Canada London, city (1991 pop. 303,165), SE Ont., Canada, on the Thames River. The site was chosen in 1792 by Governor Simcoe to be the capital of Upper Canada, but York was made capital instead. London was settled in 1826. , England, for clarification of a provision in its U.K. pension plan that governs the value of pension payments payable to an employee who is over 50 years old and who retires from service in certain circumstances CIRCUMSTANCES, evidence. The particulars which accompany a fact. 2. The facts proved are either possible or impossible, ordinary and probable, or extraordinary and improbable, recent or ancient; they may have happened near us, or afar off; they are public or prior to his normal retirement date. The primary matter before the High Court was whether pension payments to such employees, including those who take early retirement and those terminated due to the closure of the Company's Coventry facility, should be reduced to compensate for the fact that the pension payments begin prior to a normal retirement age of 65. In December 2002, the High Court ruled against the Company's position that reduced pension payments are payable in the context of early retirements or terminations. The Company appealed the High Court's ruling, and in July 2003, the Court of Appeal ruled that employees terminated as a result of the closure of the Coventry facility do not qualify for full pensions, thereby reversing the earlier High Court ruling for this aspect of the case, but ruled that other employees might qualify. The representatives of the beneficiaries of the pension plan sought the right to appeal to the House of Lords House of Lords: see Parliament. , and on March 26, 2004, the House of Lords denied their request. As a result of the Court of Appeal's ruling in that case, certain employees who took early retirement in prior years under voluntary retirement arrangements would be entitled en·ti·tle tr.v. en·ti·tled, en·ti·tling, en·ti·tles 1.

In addition, during 2002 and 2003, the Company initiated several rationalization plans and recorded restructuring and other infrequent expenses in total of approximately $4.6 million. The expenses primarily related to severance costs and certain lease termination and other exit costs associated with the rationalization of the Company's European engineering and marketing personnel, certain components of the Company's German manufacturing facilities located in Kempten Kempten (kĕmp`tən), city (1994 pop. 61,700), Bavaria, S central Germany, on the Iller River, in the Allgäu.

Marktoberdorf is near Kempten, Füssen, known for the castle Neuschwanstein, Bad Wörishofen, and Schongau. , Germany, as well as a European combine engineering rationalization that was initiated during 2003. During the six months ended June 30, 2004, the Company recorded $0.2 million of restructuring and other infrequent expenses associated with these European rationalization initiatives, as well as $0.1 million related to the closure and consolidation of Valtra's U.S. and Canadian Canadian (kənā`dēən), river, 906 mi (1,458 km) long, rising in NE New Mexico. and flowing E across N Texas and central Oklahoma into the Arkansas River in E Oklahoma. sales offices into the Company's existing U.S. and Canadian sales organizations. A total of $4.0 million of severance costs have been recorded associated with these activities, and relate to the termination of approximately 215 employees in total. At June 30, 2004, a total of approximately $4.2 million of expenses had been incurred and paid.
