**【CEO Summary Section】**
- **Strong Q3 Performance**: Net sales of $2.5 billion, down 5% YoY, but up 6% excluding the divested Grain & Protein business. Europe, Middle East (EME) sales grew 20%, driven by higher production and demand for high-horsepower tractors.
- **Regional Mix and Margins**: Global operating margins were 6.1% (7.5% adjusted), with EME margins approaching 16% due to higher volumes. North America margins remained negative due to underproduction and dealer inventory destocking.

- **2026 Outlook**: Global industry demand expected to be flat, with North America large ag down 30%, Europe modestly up, and South America flat to +5%.

**【CFO Financial Commentary】**
- **Net Sales**: $2.5 billion (Q3), $9.8 billion (full year guidance). Adjusted operating margin 7.5%, up 200bps YoY due to EME performance.
- **Free Cash Flow**: $65 million year-to-date, targeting 75-100% of adjusted net income for the year. Capital expenditures reduced to $300 million.
- **Earnings Guidance**: Full-year EPS of $5, reflecting strong execution and cost control. Effective tax rate revised to 33-35%.
- **Tariff Impact**: Net tariff cost of ~$0.45 per share for 2025, partially offset by pricing actions. 2026 impact expected to be less than 1% of sales.

**【Q&A Key Highlights】**
- **Europe Performance**: Outperformed expectations with strong volumes and margins. Dealer inventories below target, positioning for 2026 recovery.
- **China Trade Agreement**: Viewed as net positive for North America, but impact on farmer sentiment and equipment demand will take time to materialize.
- **North America Dealer Inventory**: Progress made (8 months from 9), but full rightsizing to 6 months requires 2026 industry recovery. Production cuts expected to continue in Q4 (over 50% reduction).
- **Tariff and Pricing Dynamics**: South America and Europe saw increased competitive pricing, limiting margin expansion. North America tariffs centralized costs, but global pricing actions offset ~$0.45 per share impact.
- **Precision Ag Growth**: PTx business on track to meet 2025 forecasts, with 90%+ of AGCO machines sold with Trimble technology. Retrofit market less cyclical, down ~1/3 of whole goods decline.
