PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 30, 2023 /PRNewswire/ --

FMC Corporation (NYSE: FMC) today reported third quarter 2023 revenue of $982 million, a decrease of 29 percent versus third quarter 2022 and down 29 percent organically. On a GAAP basis, the company reported a net loss of $0.03 per diluted share in the third quarter, down 103 percent versus third quarter 2022. Adjusted earnings were $0.44 per diluted share, a decrease of 64 percent versus third quarter 2022.

Third Quarter Adjusted EPS versus Prior-Year Quarter	-79 cents
Adjusted EBITDA	-59 cents
Interest Expense	-15 cents
Depreciation & Amortization	-3 cents
Minority Interest	-2 cents
Taxes	-1 cent
Share Count	+1 cent

                         

"Our results were significantly below the prior year driven by volume headwinds from a continuation of channel destocking behavior that began in the prior quarter.  Destocking was much worse than anticipated in Brazil. Despite this, on-the-ground application remains steady as growers continue to protect their crops," said Mark Douglas, FMC president and chief executive officer. "Branded diamides and our new products outperformed the overall portfolio, which illustrates robustness for differentiated and higher value products even in challenging environments."

Revenue in the quarter was driven by a 26 percent decline in volume. Price increases in North America, EMEA and Asia were more than offset by price decreases in Latin America. FX impacts were neutral to revenue.  While overall sales were down 29 percent, sales of products launched in the last five years were up 4 percent year-over-year, with growth in all regions.

Sales in all regions declined versus the prior-year period as partners, the distribution channel and growers continued to reduce inventory levels. In North America, revenue was down 34 percent year-over-year (down 34 percent organically). EMEA revenue declined 1 percent (down 4 percent organically) compared to third quarter 2022, as higher pricing and FX tailwinds mostly offset lower volumes. Sales in Asia declined 28 percent (down 23 percent organically) as continued destocking across the region negatively impacted volumes. The region reported 16 percent growth in products launched in the last five years. In Latin America, revenue was down 33 percent (down 36 percent organically) year-over-year driven mainly by lower volumes primarily due to severe destocking in Brazil and, to a lesser extent, drought conditions in Argentina.  Globally, Plant Health revenue was down 20 percent (down 17 percent organically) versus prior year driven by similar, but less severe channel destocking dynamics.

FMC Revenue	Q3 2023
Total Revenue Change (GAAP)	(29 %)
Less FX Impact	0 %
Organic1 Revenue Change (Non-GAAP)	(29 %)

 

Third quarter adjusted EBITDA was $175 million, a decrease of 33 percent from the prior-year period as lower sales more than offset favorable costs, mostly from inputs. Operating expenses were slightly favorable to prior year due to increased cost discipline.

Full-Year 2023 Outlook²

Consistent with the company's release on October 23, FMC is forecasting full-year 2023 revenue to be in the range of $4.48 billion to $4.72 billion, reflecting a 21 percent decline at the midpoint versus 2022. Full-year adjusted EBITDA is expected to be in the range of $0.97 billion to $1.03 billion, representing 29 percent decline year-over-year at the midpoint. The forecast for the 2023 adjusted earnings range is lowered to $3.57 to $4.13 per diluted share, representing a year-over-year decrease of 48 percent at the midpoint. The company is lowering full-year free cash flow guidance to a range of negative $860 million to negative $640 million due to the reduction in expected second half EBITDA and the impacts to working capital from higher inventory and lower payables.  

Fourth Quarter Outlook²

Fourth quarter revenue is expected to be in the range of $1.14 billion to $1.38 billion, a 22 percent decrease at the midpoint compared to fourth quarter 2022. Adjusted EBITDA is forecasted to be in the range of $246 million to $306 million, representing a 36 percent decrease at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2022. FMC now expects adjusted earnings per diluted share to be in the range of $0.89 to $1.38 in the fourth quarter, which represents a decline of 52 percent at the midpoint versus fourth quarter 2022.

"The global crop protection market remains challenged with severe destocking across the channel impacting volume growth this year. In this environment, we are implementing a company-wide restructuring program to right-size our cost base. At the same time, we are continuing to invest in the development and launch of new products, which are growing and driving market share gains," said Douglas.

(1)	Referred to as Adjusted earnings. The Company believes that Adjusted earnings, a Non-GAAP financial measure, 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 September 30, 2023:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) includes $2.5 million of employee separation and $0.4 million of other exit costs incurred as part of various restructuring initiatives. Other charges (income) of $25.3 million is comprised of $11.9 million in charges resulting from the third quarter acquisition of in-process research and development assets that do not meet the criteria for capitalization. Additionally, we incurred $4.9 million in losses related to the devaluation of the Argentine peso driven by government actions, $4.5 million of charges associated with our environmental sites, and $4.0 million of other miscellaneous charges.
	Three Months Ended September 30, 2022:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) includes charges relating to environmental sites of $3.4 million, as well as severance and other restructuring-related charges of $2.0 million from various restructuring programs and other charges of $3.6 million.
	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2023:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) includes $6.8 million of employee separation costs as well as $1.9 million of asset impairment and other charges related to various global restructuring initiatives. These restructuring charges were offset by a $5.8 million gain recognized on the disposition of land related to a previously closed manufacturing facility. Other charges (income) of $45.1 million, is comprised of $11.9 million in charges resulting from the third quarter acquisition of in-process research and development assets that do not meet the criteria for capitalization. We recognized a $6.9 million remeasurement charge triggered during the period as a result of the significant currency depreciation of the Pakistani Rupee. On January 25, 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, we incurred $4.9 million in losses related to the devaluation of the Argentine peso driven by government actions during the period, $14.3 million of charges associated with our environmental sites, and $7.1 million of other miscellaneous charges.
	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022:
	Restructuring and other charges (income) is primarily comprised of $76.1 million in exit charges related to our decision to cease operations and business in Russia.  Restructuring and other charges (income) also includes charges relating to environmental sites of $1.0 million, as well as severance and other restructuring-related charges of $16.6 million from various restructuring programs and other charges of $5.2 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.

(1)	The cash provided (required) by operating activities for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 is the calculation of the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 less the previously reported six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
(2)	Adjusted cash from operations is defined as cash provided (required) by operating activities of continuing operations excluding the effects of transaction-related cash flows.
(3)	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.
