PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --

Third Quarter 2016 Highlights

  • Consolidated revenue of $808 million
  • Consolidated GAAP earnings per diluted share of $0.59
  • Consolidated adjusted earnings per diluted share of $0.67
  • Agricultural Solutions segment earnings of $90 million
  • Health and Nutrition segment earnings of $45 million
  • Lithium segment earnings of $18 million
  • Increasing guidance for 2016 adjusted earnings per diluted share by 6 cents at the mid-point of the range to $2.76 to $2.861

FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) today reported third quarter 2016 net income per diluted share of $0.59, as compared to a net loss per diluted share of $0.02 in the third quarter of 2015.  Excluding various restructuring charges, adjusted earnings were $0.67 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2016, compared to adjusted earnings of $0.42 per diluted share for the prior year quarter.    

Logo - http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20111101/NE97440LOGO

Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman said:  "FMC delivered another strong quarter, reporting adjusted earnings per share above the top end of guidance.  Ag Solutions had a solid quarter, particularly in Latin America, reporting segment earnings at the top end of prior guidance.  Lithium outperformed, increasing earnings by $16 million compared to the prior year quarter.  Lithium's performance reflects the success of FMC's strategy to focus on higher value downstream specialty products.  Health and Nutrition delivered strong margins, but revenue was below expectations.   Overall, I am very pleased with the execution of our strategy.  With just one quarter to go in the year, we are tightening our guidance for 2016 adjusted earnings per diluted share and raising the mid-point of the range by 6 cents per diluted share to $2.76 to $2.86."

FMC Agricultural Solutions

FMC Agricultural Solutions reported third quarter revenue of $559 million and segment earnings of $90 million.  Third quarter segment revenue declined 3 percent year-over-year, principally due to lower sales volume from market weakness and product rationalization, offset partially by price increases.  Segment earnings increased 52 percent compared to results for third quarter 2015, as the impact of better pricing and positive foreign exchange offset the lower sales volumes and higher costs.

For the full year, segment revenue is expected to be in the range of $2.2 billion to $2.4 billion and segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $390 million to $410 million.  Fourth quarter segment earnings are expected to be in the range of $117 million to $137 million, up 26 percent at the mid-point of the range.  

FMC Health and Nutrition

FMC Health and Nutrition reported third quarter segment revenue of $179 million and segment earnings of $45 million.  Revenue declined 9 percent and segment earnings declined 4 percent compared to the third quarter 2015 largely due to lower revenue in Omega 3 and timing of sales in Asia and Europe.    

Segment revenue for the full year is expected to be between $740 and $760 million and 2016 segment earnings are expected to be between $190 and $194 million.  For the fourth quarter, segment earnings are expected to be between $53 and $57 million, up 19 percent at the mid-point of the range.

FMC Lithium

FMC Lithium reported third quarter segment revenue of $70 million, an increase of 22 percent from the prior-year quarter.  Segment earnings increased to $18 million in the quarter versus $2 million in the prior-year quarter.  Higher average prices in all major products, lower operating costs and the devaluation of the Argentinean peso all contributed to the increase in segment earnings.   

For the full year 2016, segment revenue is expected to be in the range of $265 million to $275 million.  2016 segment earnings are expected to be between $65 and $69 million, $5 million higher than previous guidance at the mid-point.  Segment earnings for the fourth quarter are expected to be in the range of $16 million to $20 million, up 62 percent year-over-year at the mid-point of the range. 

Webcast and Supplemental Information

The company will post supplemental information on the web at www.FMC.com, including its 2016 Outlook Statement, definitions of non-GAAP terms and reconciliations of non-GAAP figures to the nearest available GAAP term.

Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Act of 1995: Statements in this news release that are forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties concerning specific factors described in FMC Corporation's 2015 Form 10-K and other SEC filings. Such information contained herein represents management's best judgment as of the date hereof based on information currently available. FMC Corporation does not intend to update this information and disclaims any legal obligation to the contrary. Historical information is not necessarily indicative of future performance.

This press release contains certain "non-GAAP financial terms" which are defined on our website www.fmc.com.  In addition, we have also provided on our website at www.fmc.com reconciliations of non-GAAP terms to the most directly comparable GAAP term.  Amounts in this release focus on Adjusted Earnings for all EBIT and EPS references.

  1. Although we do provide forecasts for adjusted earnings per share and adjusted cash from operations (both of which are non-GAAP financial measures), we are not able to forecast the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP.  Certain elements of the composition of the GAAP amounts are not predictable, making it impractical for us to forecast.  Such elements include, but are not limited to restructuring, acquisition charges, and discontinued operations and related cash activity.  As a result, no GAAP outlook is provided.

(1) The Company believes that the Non-GAAP financial measure "Adjusted After-Tax Earnings from Continuing Operations, Attributable to FMC Stockholders", and its presentation on a per share basis, provides useful information about the Company's operating results to investors and securities analysts. Adjusted earnings excludes the effects of Corporate special charges, tax-related adjustments and the results of our discontinued operations. The Company also believes that excluding the effects of these items from operating results allows management and investors to compare more easily the financial performance of its underlying businesses from period to period.

(2) The average number of shares outstanding used in the nine months ended September 30, 2015 diluted adjusted after-tax earnings from continuing operations per share computation (Non-GAAP) includes 0.7 million diluted shares. This number of shares differs from the average number of shares outstanding used in diluted earnings per share computations (GAAP) as we had a net loss from continuing operations attributable to FMC stockholders.

(a) Three Months Ended September 30, 2016:

Restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges of $5.8 million representing adjustments to severance and asset write-offs primarily associated with the integration of Cheminova with Agricultural Solutions. Additionally, restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges of continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $8.1 million. Remaining restructuring and other charges (income) includes net miscellaneous charges (income) of $0.5 million.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2015:
Restructuring and other charges (income) includes a charge of $50.7 million, primarily related to the exit of our generic crop protection business in Brazil and severance, associated with the integration of Cheminova into our existing FMC Agricultural Solutions segment as well as a charge of $16.6 million associated with the reorganization of our FMC Health and Nutrition segment, of which, $11.9 million was due to the sale of our pectin manufacturing business. Remaining restructuring and other charges (income) includes net miscellaneous charges of  $2.0 million.  Offsetting these charges was other income associated with sale of our remaining ownership interest in a Belgian-based pesticide distribution company for $26.6 million, slightly offset by charges from continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $2.9 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016:
Restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges of  $14.7 million representing adjustments to severance and asset write-offs primarily associated with the integration of Cheminova with Agricultural Solutions.  Amounts also include $4.2 million associated as a result of the Argentina government's action to devalue its currency.  Additionally, restructuring and other charges includes charges of continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $17.1 million. Remaining restructuring and other charges (income) includes net miscellaneous charges (income) of $3.1 million.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015:
Restructuring and other charges (income) includes a charge of $55.5 million, primarily related to exit of generic crop protection business in Brazil and severance associated with the integration of Cheminova of $12.2 million, and a charge of $20.5 million associated with the reorganization of our FMC Health and Nutrition segment, of which, $11.9 million was due to the sale of our pectin manufacturing business. Remaining restructuring and charges included net miscellaneous charges of $5.5 million. Offsetting these charges was other income associated with sale of our remaining ownership interest in a Belgian-based pesticide distribution company for $26.6 million, slightly offset by charges from continuing environmental sites treated as a Corporate charge of $8.3 million and a charge of $15.0 million associated with a license agreement entered into for the purpose of obtaining certain technology and intellectual property rights relating to new compounds still under development both of which pertain our FMC Agricultural Solutions segment.

(b) Our non-operating pension and postretirement costs are defined as those costs related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These costs are primarily related to changes in pension plan assets and liabilities which are tied to financial market performance and we consider these costs to be outside our operational performance. We exclude these non-operating pension and postretirement costs from our segments as we believe that removing them provides a better understanding of the underlying profitability of our businesses, provides increased transparency and clarity in the performance of our retirement plans and enhances period-over-period comparability. We continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our Adjusted Earnings results noted above. We believe these elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees.

(c)  Charges related to the expensing of the inventory fair value step-up resulting from the application of purchase accounting, legal and professional fees and gains or losses on hedging purchase price associated with the planned or completed acquisitions. Amounts represent the following:

(4)

Acquisition-related charges associated with the integration of Cheminova with Agricultural Solutions are expected  to be completed by the end of 2016.

(d)  The income tax expense (benefit) on Corporate special charges (income) is determined using the applicable rates in the taxing jurisdictions in which the Corporate special charge or income occurred and includes both current and deferred income tax expense (benefit) based on the nature of the non-GAAP performance measure.

(e)  Three and Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 and 2015

Discontinued operations includes provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities,  legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations.  Discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2015, includes the divestiture gain of approximately $700 million associated with the sale of FMC Alkali Chemicals division which was completed on April 1, 2015.

(f) We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the Non-GAAP measure of income, and instead include a Non-GAAP tax provision based upon the projected annual Non-GAAP effective tax rate. The GAAP tax provision includes certain discrete tax items including, but are not limited to: income tax expenses or benefits that are not related to ongoing business operations in the current year; tax adjustments associated with fluctuations in foreign currency remeasurement of certain foreign operations; certain changes in estimates of tax matters related to prior fiscal years; certain changes in the realizability of deferred tax assets and related interim accounting impacts; and changes in tax law; and the impact of excluding subsidiary losses that cannot be benefited from the GAAP EAETR and earnings to which it is applied. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to ongoing operations thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance.

FMC CORPORATION
FMC AGRICULTURAL SOLUTIONS PRO FORMA FINANCIAL RESULTS
(Unaudited, in millions)

In the second quarter of 2015, we began to present pro forma combined results for the FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for 2015 and 2014. We believe that reviewing our operating results by combining actual and pro forma results for the FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for 2015 is more useful in identifying trends in, or reaching conclusions regarding, the overall operating performance of this segment. Our pro forma segment information includes adjustments as if the Cheminova transaction had occurred on January 1, 2015. Our pro forma data will also be adjusted for the effects of acquisition accounting but will not include adjustments for cost related to integration activities, cost savings or synergies that might be achieved by the combined businesses. Pro forma amounts to be presented will not necessarily be indicative of what our results would have been had we operated Cheminova since January 1, 2015, nor our future results. We believe that reviewing our operating results by combining actual and pro forma results for the FMC Agricultural Solutions segment for these interim periods is more useful in identifying trends in, or reaching conclusions regarding, the overall operating performance of the segment.
