PHILADELPHIA, May 1, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --

FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) today reported first quarter 2023 revenue of $1.34 billion, flat versus first quarter 2022, and up 4 percent organically. On a GAAP basis, the company reported earnings of $1.55 per diluted share in the first quarter, a decrease of 6 percent versus first quarter 2022. First quarter adjusted earnings were $1.77 per diluted share, down 6 percent versus first quarter 2022; however, adjusted earnings were $0.02 above the midpoint of the guidance range.

"FMC delivered a solid first quarter with strong pricing actions, growth of new products and cost discipline driving margin expansion. New product growth and expanded market access contributed to robust North America sales, which helped offset volume headwinds in other regions," said Mark Douglas, FMC president and chief executive officer.

First quarter revenue was driven by 7 percent contribution from price, offset by a 3 percent decline in volume and a 4 percent headwind from foreign currencies, especially in EMEA and Asia.

North America had a record quarter with 28 percent year-over-year growth (up 30 percent organically). Canada doubled first quarter revenue compared to the prior-year period driven by gains in market access, strong growth of new products and price increases. Overall, product mix in North America also benefited from higher sales of new products.

Sales in EMEA declined 4 percent (up 2 percent organically) compared to the prior-year period as robust pricing actions mostly offset volume headwinds in herbicides as well as anticipated registration losses and the loss of sales in Russia. FX continued to be a headwind in the region.

In Latin America, revenue declined 12 percent versus the first quarter of 2022, driven by drought conditions that caused missed applications in southern Brazil and Argentina. Sales were stable in Mexico and the Andean region. 

Asia sales decreased 22 percent (down 15 percent organically) year-over-year as dry conditions in Australia and active management of high channel inventory in India impacted revenue.

Globally, Plant Health revenue was down 2 percent in the quarter (up 8 percent organically) as strong sales growth in EMEA and Latin America were offset by FX headwinds and slower sales in North America following a very strong fourth quarter.

FMC first quarter adjusted EBITDA was $362 million, an increase of 2 percent from the prior-year period with EBITDA margin expanding more than 60 basis points year-over-year. This increase was driven primarily by pricing gains, new product introductions and cost discipline, partially offset by continued FX headwinds.

Outlook2

The company is forecasting full-year 2023 revenue to be in the range of $6.08 billion to $6.22 billion, unchanged since the last guidance and representing an increase of 6 percent at the midpoint versus 2022. FMC is raising its full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance by $10 million at the midpoint. Full-year adjusted EBITDA is now expected to be in the range of $1.50 billion to $1.56 billion, representing 9 percent year-over-year growth at the midpoint based on the first quarter performance, continued pricing gains, positive product mix and projected input cost tailwinds. 2023 adjusted earnings range is also increased to $7.34 to $7.94 per diluted share, representing a year-over-year increase of 3 percent at the midpoint. The company is maintaining full-year free cash flow guidance in the range of $530 million to $720 million.

Second quarter revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.42 billion to $1.48 billion, which is flat at the midpoint compared to second quarter 2022. Headwinds from lower volumes in select markets and FX are expected to be offset by gains from pricing actions and sales of new products. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $350 million to $370 million, which is flat at the midpoint versus prior-year period. FMC expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $1.66 to $1.86 in the second quarter, which represents a 9 percent decrease at the midpoint versus second quarter 2022 due to higher interest expense. Midpoint of Q2 guidance combined with Q1 actual results implies flat first-half sales, 1 percent increase in first-half EBITDA and 7 percent decrease in first-half EPS compared to the same period last year.

Midpoint of first-half guidance implies a 12 percent increase in second-half sales, a 17 percent increase in second-half EBITDA and a 14 percent increase in second-half EPS compared to the same period last year. Continued market access gains and the increased forecast of new product growth as well as pricing is expected to drive second half revenue growth. Input costs are expected to become a tailwind around the midpoint of the year with a significant benefit from lower costs in the third quarter resulting in a second half that is front loaded on earnings growth.

"We expect second quarter results to be largely in line with the prior year. We are raising our full-year EBITDA guidance, and narrowing our range, based on the first quarter performance and our expectation of continued pricing gains, positive mix supported by new products as well as input cost tailwinds that are projected to be realized in the second half of the year, particularly in the third quarter. The strength of our portfolio, diversity of crop mix and investments in market access have positioned us well to deliver another year of revenue and earnings growth as well as margin expansion," said Douglas.

Statement under the Safe Harbor Provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995:  FMC and its representatives may from time to time make written or oral statements that are "forward-looking" and provide other than historical information, including statements contained in this press release, in FMC's other filings with the SEC, and in reports or letters to FMC stockholders.

In some cases, FMC has identified these forward-looking statements by such words or phrases as "will likely result," "is confident that," "expect," "expects," "should," "could," "may," "will continue to," "believe," "believes," "anticipates," "predicts," "forecasts," "estimates," "projects," "potential," "intends" or similar expressions identifying "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, including the negative of those words or phrases. Such forward-looking statements are based on our current views and assumptions regarding future events, future business conditions and the outlook for the company based on currently available information. The forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results to be materially different from any results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by any forward-looking statement. These statements are qualified by reference to the risk factors included in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K"), the section captioned "Forward-Looking Information" in Part II of the 2022 Form 10-K and to similar risk factors and cautionary statements in all other reports and forms filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of these factors as being impacted as a result of the residual adverse impacts of COVID and governmental, business, and societal responses to COVID.  We wish to caution readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date made.  Forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the above cautionary statement.

We specifically decline to undertake any obligation, and specifically disclaims any duty, to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements that have been made to reflect events or circumstances after the date of such statements or to reflect the occurrence of anticipated or unanticipated events, except as may be required by law.

This press release contains certain "non-GAAP financial terms" which are defined on our website www.fmc.com/investors. Such terms include adjusted EBITDA, adjusted earnings, free cash flow and organic revenue growth. In addition, we have also provided on our website reconciliations of non-GAAP terms to the most directly comparable GAAP term.

  1. Organic revenue growth (non-GAAP) excludes the impact of foreign currency changes.
  2. Although we provide forecasts for adjusted earnings per share, adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow (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. 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 management, 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 business from period to period.



(a)

Three Months Ended March 31, 2023:




Restructuring and other charges (income) includes asset impairment and other charges of $0.9 million related to various global restructuring initiatives. Other charges (income) of $11.6 million, relates primarily to a $6.9 million remeasurement charge triggered during the period as a result of the significant currency depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee. On January 25th, 2023, the Pakistani Rupee experienced its largest single day drop against the US dollar in over two decades following the removal of the USD-PKR exchange cap in place on the country's currency. Additionally, other charges (income) relating to environmental sites of $2.3 million were recognized during the period as well as $2.4 million of other miscellaneous charges.




Three Months Ended March 31, 2022:




Restructuring and other charges (income) is primarily comprised of $8.4 million fixed asset and other charges resulting from the closure of certain manufacturing sites during the period. Restructuring and other charges (income) also includes income relating to environmental sites of $3.3 million, as well as severance, restructuring, and other charges of $2.8 million from various restructuring programs and other miscellaneous charges of $1.2 million.



(b)        

Our non-operating pension and postretirement charges (income) are defined as those costs (benefits) related to interest, expected return on plan assets, amortized actuarial gains and losses and the impacts of any plan curtailments or settlements. These are excluded from our Adjusted Earnings and 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 continue to include the service cost and amortization of prior service cost in our Adjusted Earnings results noted above. These elements reflect the current year operating costs to our businesses for the employment benefits provided to active employees.     



(c)

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.



(d)

Discontinued operations includes provisions, net of recoveries, for environmental liabilities and legal reserves and expenses related to previously discontinued operations and retained liabilities.



(e)

We exclude the GAAP tax provision, including discrete items, from the Non-GAAP measure of income, and 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 continuing operating results 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. Management believes excluding these discrete tax items assists investors and securities analysts in understanding the tax provision and the effective tax rate related to continuing operating results thereby providing investors with useful supplemental information about FMC's operational performance.

Adjusted cash from operations is defined as cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations excluding the effects of transaction-related cash flows.

(2)

Free cash flow is defined as Adjusted cash from operations reduced by spending for capital additions and other investing activities as well as legacy and transformation spending. We believe that this Non-GAAP financial measure provides a useful basis for investors and securities analysts about the cash generated by routine business operations, including capital expenditures, in addition to assessing our ability to repay debt, fund acquisitions and return capital to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends. Our use of free cash flow has limitations as an analytical tool and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for an analysis of our results under U.S. GAAP.
