FMC Gives Update on Expected Performance for First Quarter and Full Year 2018 Ahead of Scheduled Meeting with Investors

PHILADELPHIA, March 29, 2018 - FMC Corporation (NYSE:FMC) today announced that it expects first quarter adjusted earnings to exceed the high end of its prior guidance range of $1.45 to $1.59 per diluted share, and that it expects full year 2018 adjusted earnings to exceed the high end of its prior guidance range of $5.20 to $5.60 per diluted share.¹ 

FMC expects the first quarter performance to be driven by stronger segment earnings. In FMC Agricultural Solutions segment, a combination of strong customer demand and lower achieved operating costs are leading to higher earnings. FMC Lithium is also performing very well in the first quarter, driven by continued strong market conditions.

Pierre Brondeau, FMC president, CEO and chairman said: “Given our scheduled meeting with investors today, and to ensure compliance with Reg FD, we have elected to share additional information in regards to our current expectations for FMC’s first quarter and full-year performance.”

Such information contained herein represents management's best judgment as of the date hereof based on information currently available.

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. 

1. Although we 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.
