AGCO Corporation (AGCO+0.24%) has submitted its 10-Q filing for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2024.
The filing reports a net sales decrease of 24.8% to $2,599.3 million for the third quarter of 2024, compared to $3,455.5 million in the same period of 2023. The decline is attributed to lower sales volumes and unfavorable currency impacts.
Income from operations was $114.8 million for the third quarter of 2024, down from $423.6 million in the previous year. This decrease is primarily due to lower sales and production volumes.
The company reported a net income of $30.0 million for the quarter, compared to $280.6 million in the same quarter of the previous year. The net income per diluted share was $0.40, down from $3.74.
AGCO completed the acquisition of an 85% stake in PTx Trimble (TRMB+1.27%) on April 1, 2024, consolidating its operations. The acquisition was financed through a combination of senior notes and a term loan facility.
The company also announced the divestiture of its Grain & Protein business for $700.0 million, which was completed on November 1, 2024. The proceeds were used to repay outstanding debt.
Interest expense increased to $33.9 million for the quarter, up from $5.5 million in the previous year, due to higher debt levels related to the PTx Trimble acquisition.
AGCO's cash flows from operating activities were negative $108.0 million for the first nine months of 2024, compared to positive $202.7 million in the same period of 2023, reflecting lower net income and changes in working capital.
The company's debt to capitalization ratio increased to 48.8% as of September 30, 2024, from 23.0% at the end of 2023, primarily due to financing the PTx Trimble transaction.
AGCO's outlook for the remainder of 2024 anticipates lower net sales and operating margins compared to 2023, driven by lower industry demand and production volumes.
